Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

"Haha, under my brilliant leadership, we have successfully defeated the navy and defended the Going Merry!"

Usopp said with his head held high and a proud look on his face.

Ximen Yan was too lazy to explain.

After all, it's impossible to stop Usopp from bragging.

"Sanji, have you seen Luffy and Zoro?"

Nami looked at Sanji and asked.

After all, only Luffy and Zoro are missing before they can set sail.

"They have some things to do and will come over later."

Sanji looked visibly worried.

After all, that navy officer looked like a tough opponent.

However, for now, we can only choose to trust Luffy and Zoro.

"Is this so!"

Nami noticed Sanji's worry.

However, she believed that Luffy and Zoro would be fine.

Of course, even so, Nami couldn't help but show a worried expression.

Usopp was no exception.

Compared to Nami, Usopp, and Sanji's concerns.

Ximen Yan was not worried at all about Luffy and Zoro having any problems.

After all, Luffy's father, Dragon, the world's most dangerous criminal and revolutionary, lives in Loguetown.

Dragon came specifically to see Luffy off.

This storm was specifically created for this purpose.

Under these circumstances, Luffy will naturally not encounter any problems.

"This must be an elephant tuna!"

"I wonder what it tastes like."

As Ximen Yan looked at the elephant tuna that Sanji had brought back, a hint of tears seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth.

This fish looks so appetizing!

"..."

Nami, Usopp, and Sanji looked at Ximen Yan speechlessly.

Is now the time to consider this?

Ximen Yan looked up at the three of them, remaining calm.

"Don't worry, Luffy and Zoro will be fine."

Ximen Yan said very seriously.

The three nodded; they believed it too, but they were still worried!

……

Ximen Yan and the others were getting a little bored, so they looked at Sanji.

"Sanji, I know a famous dish called braised elephant trunk."

"I feel like it would be delicious to make it using the trunk of an elephant tuna."

He had only heard of this dish, braised elephant trunk, but had never tasted it.

However, out of curiosity, he specifically looked into how it was made.

Knowing how it's done, Sanji might be able to replicate it!

Although the elephant tuna's trunk is not a real elephant trunk.

But I feel like it would taste even better if I made it!

"Oh, braised elephant trunk, I wonder how this dish is made?"

Sanji looked at Simon with curiosity and asked.

After all, as a chef, I care a lot about the food.

Especially since it was a dish he had never heard of before.

Ximen Yan smiled; Sanji was indeed interested.

"The real elephant trunk needs its outer skin removed first."

"However, the elephant tuna obviously doesn't need a trunk."

"So first you need to cook the elephant trunk and take it out."

"After rinsing it once, change the water and boil it until it softens."

"Cut the elephant trunk into slices five centimeters thick, but don't cut all the way through, then drain..."

"Fry in lard, then add stock..."

Simon told Sanji in great detail how to dry-fry an elephant trunk.

Sanji also took all of this very seriously and kept it in mind.

Although it is only Ximen Yan's account.

However, Sanji thought that the dry-fried elephant trunk made this way would definitely be delicious.

"It sounds delicious! I'd like to try it too."

Usopp couldn't help but say something from the side.

"I'll try to do it when the time comes."

Sanji said with certainty.

With Ximen Yan's account, replicating it shouldn't be too difficult.

After they escaped from Loguetown.

He's definitely going to try making this dry-fried elephant trunk dish using an elephant tuna's trunk.

"That's enough, you three! Is this the time to talk about this?!"

Nami glared angrily at Simon, Sanji, and Usopp and roared.

Hearing this made her a little hungry too.

But is now the time to discuss this?

Zoro and Luffy haven't returned yet, shouldn't we be worried?

Moreover, the navy has already set its sights on them.

There's also the Buggy Pirates in the shadows!

In such a dangerous situation, they're still discussing how to cook?

"Ah! Nami-san is so cute even when she's angry."

Sanji immediately stared at Nami with a lovestruck expression.

Usopp trembled as he looked at the angry Nami.

An angry Nami is terrifying.

Ximen Yan shrugged.

Nothing bad will happen, it's nice to relax and chat about food.

However, Ximen Yan obviously wouldn't argue with an angry Nami about this.

This is probably because the previous naval forces had all been dealt with by Simon.

The number of naval reinforcements this time reached over a hundred.

Moreover, they also brought a considerable number of artillery pieces.

These naval forces, given some time, will naturally be able to resolve the situation for Simon.

However, the artillery brought by the navy might damage the Going Merry.

This is something Nami and the others don't want to see.

So after a slight hesitation.

The group decided to put away the anchor and prepare to sail the ship out of the harbor.

The navy, seeing this situation, naturally wanted to stop it.

He immediately ordered the artillery to fire, and in an instant, a large number of shells flew toward the Going Merry.

Although most of them failed to materialize.

However, several shells were still aimed directly at the Going Merry.

Fortunately, Simon and Sanji both stepped in and blocked the cannonballs.

Just as the navy was preparing for the second round of firing.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in.

The Going Merry sped out of the harbor as the gale swept through the area.

This made Nami, Usopp, and Sanji very fortunate.

What surprised and delighted the three of them even more was...

The strong winds also swept Luffy and Zoro to the port.

Of course, only Ximen Yan knew that all of this was done by the dragon.

Luffy was very excited when he realized he had arrived at the port.

He almost thought he couldn't escape just now!

Seeing the Going Merry already leaving the port, Luffy quickly waved.

"Nami, Sanji, I'm here..."

Although Zoro didn't say anything, his expression showed great relief.

After all, his knife was useless against that white hunter Smoker.

"Catch Straw Hat Luffy, Pirate Hunter!"

A sudden shout came from behind Luffy and Zoro.

The two men turned around and saw about a hundred sailors running towards them.

Further away, a steady stream of naval forces appeared.

By this time, the Going Merry had already sailed out of the port.

The Navy naturally set its sights on Luffy and Zoro, who were still in port.

Luffy looked at the numerous marines and laughed without caring at all.

"Hahaha, Zoro, let's go!"

Luffy stretched out his arm and grabbed the railing on the shore.

"Hey, hey, I suddenly have a bad feeling!"

Looking at Luffy's outstretched arm and the Going Merry sailing out of the port.
