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

I didn't see what happened after that.

But now that Ximen Yan has appeared on the ship, she no longer needs to worry.

However, Apis came up with a way to help them escape the Calm Belt!

Although I don't know what Apis wants to do.

However, Luffy didn't think much of it and did as Apis suggested.

Apis successfully plucked a nose hair from the hippopotamus sea king beneath the Going Merry.

"What good thing did she do?!"

Zoro's mentality is starting to crumble!

It is still unclear what Apis did.

But he had a very bad feeling.

"They plucked my nose hairs!"

Luffy answered calmly.

"Do that?"

Nami's face showed a look of horror.

They actually plucked a nose hair from a sea king!

"This guy can sneeze!"

Sanji couldn't help but roar.

"Ah! That's it!"

Luffy immediately understood Apis's thoughts and revealed a hearty smile.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Luffy shouted excitedly.

"I think it's best to grab onto the boat first!"

Ximenyan reminded him.

After all, things are bound to get bumpy from here on out.

……

A sneeze!

With a sneeze from the hippo-headed sea king beneath the Going Merry.

The Going Merry was thrown off course.

And it was very fortunate to pass through many sea kings and return to its original course.

The successful return to the East China Sea brought great relief to everyone.

Luffy then turned his attention to Simon.

"Hey, Ximen Yan, how did you manage to do that before?"

Luffy looked at Simon with great curiosity and asked.

"Well, actually I can use flames to teleport."

As Ximen Yan spoke, he demonstrated his Fire Release technique.

"That's amazing! Do it again!"

"That's right, that's right, Ximen Yan, let's do it again!"

Luffy and Usopp looked at Ximen Yan excitedly and shouted.

"I just can't do anything with you guys!"

Ximen Yan looked quite helpless.

However, the smile on his lips clearly indicated that Ximen Yan was also enjoying himself.

This trip into the doldrums was thrilling.

But instead, they gained a frog-like sea king.

The system has confirmed that frogs and sea kings are high-grade food ingredients.

In other words, he finally managed to procure a high-quality ingredient.

That's why Ximen Yan is very happy right now!

It would be nice to play around with Luffy and Usopp for a while.

However, Ximen Yan clearly underestimated Luffy and Usopp.

As the two attacked again, Ximen Yan used Fire Release dozens of times in a row.

So, while Luffy and Usopp were still in high spirits...

Ximen Yan, however, could no longer feel the joy in it.

"That's all. Using abilities takes physical effort."

"I'm completely exhausted now."

Ximen Yan said helplessly.

Of course, he wasn't completely exhausted.

However, Ximen Yan clearly didn't want to perform anymore!

"Ah! I'm exhausted! A piece of meat will do the trick!"

Luffy said it quite naturally.

After all, when he's weak, he can recover by eating meat.

However, Luffy's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Simon.

"Hey, Ximen Yan, you caught that frog, didn't you?"

"It looks delicious!"

Luffy's drool was already dripping uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.

I was watching Ximen Yan's performance for a while.

I've completely forgotten about the frog that Ximen Yan caught before!

It really shouldn't be!

"Get away from me!"

Ximen Yan avoided Luffy to prevent Luffy's saliva from getting on him.

"I'll take it out right away and let Sanji cook it."

As he spoke, Ximen Yan walked to the edge of the boat.

After all, the frog-like sea kings haven't been dismembered yet.

If this were taken out on the Going Merry...

It will definitely crush the Going Merry.

Therefore, we can only temporarily put it in the sea.

Looking at the frogs and sea monsters on the sea surface.

Sanji was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

"Such a huge sea king! I've never done this before, but leave it to me."

Back when I worked at the Barratier restaurant on the sea.

It has also cooked the flesh of sea kings.

Of course, back then he was only cooking the meat of smaller sea monsters.

As for the frog-like sea king in front of us...

Although it was the smallest of the sea kings they had encountered in the Calm Belt.

However, it was also much larger than any sea king he had ever seen before.

However, Sanji was confident that he could handle this Sea King.

"Zoro, go cut some meat."

Sanji gave the order to Zoro.

After all, a sea monster this big obviously can't be cooked directly!

"You lecherous cook, don't order me around."

Zoro said with great dissatisfaction.

However, it still jumped onto the frog-like sea king.

Then they cut off a huge piece of meat.

After Zoro brought the meat back to the Going Merry.

Ximen Yan once again stored the frog-sea king in his food space.

Chapter 73 The Thousand-Year Dragon on Battleship Island (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

This frog-like sea king is rated as a high-grade food by the system.

Its deliciousness goes without saying.

Sanji initially made large pieces of grilled frog meat, pan-fried frog steaks, and stewed frog meat...

It tastes absolutely delicious.

However, Ximen Yan noticed that the flesh of this frog-like sea king was similar to that of a real frog.

The meat is just more delicate and tastes more delicious.

In Simon's view, this frog-like sea king was simply a giant frog.

So Ximenyan followed the frog's example.

Sanji made dry-pot frog meat, braised frog, boiled frog, spicy frog...

The food tasted even better, and everyone was completely satisfied with the meal.

After having eaten and drunk their fill, the group continued their journey toward Apis's hometown, Gunkanjima.

Because we were already very close to Gunkanjima Island, it took three hours.

The Going Merry then arrived at Gunkanjima Island.

In the eyes of most ordinary people.

Pirates are all ruthless villains who commit murder, arson, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds.

That is indeed the case, but there are exceptions, such as the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, the people of Gunkanjima have no idea of ​​the difference between the Straw Hat Pirates and other pirate crews.

Therefore, when they discovered that a pirate ship was about to dock.

All the able-bodied men in the village grabbed various weapons and rushed over.

They seemed poised to fight the pirates to the death.

Fortunately, Apis stepped forward in time to calm the surrounding crowd.

Even if Apis says that she was rescued by Luffy and his crew, and that Luffy and his crew are good pirates.

The villagers are only temporarily at odds with the Straw Hat Pirates, but they are still not on high alert.

After all, are there any good people among pirates?
