If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 329 I, Cassie, am the smartest giant!

"Wow!! Uncle, your fried rice is amazing! It actually glows with golden light!"

"Hahaha, kid, you're the only one who's saved Water Seven. Otherwise, I would never do business for free!"

"Another bowl, please!!"

"No problem, consider it repayment for saving Water Seven. I can satisfy your every craving!"

"well!!!"

"Oh~~ You actually find it delicious? I never thought a beast could have such taste! Waaah, has my cooking finally managed to move a beast?!"

Bazel wasn't surprised at all by watching Grandpa Cooking, who was crying while frying rice.

That's how most people in the One Piece world are; he's been here for so many years, he's gotten used to it.

Fight with all your might when you need to, and cry your heart out when you need to.

Just then, a group of men in suits and sunglasses suddenly ran up from the street near the food boat.

"They're subordinates of Vich, the King of Seastone!!"

"That's right, that's right, I recognize him. It's Keith G. Jack, one of the Seastone King's most trusted subordinates!"

Keith G. Jack, who was being amazed by passersby, was now sweating profusely as he cautiously approached the snack boat.

"Sir, I'm so sorry I'm late!"

Bazel turned his head to the side, and Keith G. Jack instinctively slowed his breathing as his face was covered in rice grains.

That's the face!!

He absolutely remembers this face!

"Be quiet, go to the side and wait. Maintain your reverence for the food. This is the greatest sincerity that diners can show."

"Yes, sir!"

"Shut up, you idiots, didn't you hear me?!"

Keith G. Jack glared menacingly at the crowd around him.

"Anyone who dares to be disrespectful again, I'll throw them into the sea!"

The crowd of onlookers dispersed in a flurry.

When the sunset had completely disappeared and the lights inside the snack boat came on, the two figures wearing cloaks prepared to get up and leave.

"Phew~ Your cooking is absolutely delicious, no! It's a perfect 120!"

Ugh!

"As expected, Niu Niu, you think so too, right?"

Grandpa Pengpeng laughed heartily while holding the wine bottle.

"You're the second guy to exaggerate my skills like this. The last one..."

"I remember it was Zeff, the captain of the Chef Pirates. That kid's culinary talent is the best I've ever seen among all the pirates!"

Zhepu?

Bazel looked surprised. Wasn't that Sanji's adoptive father?

Seemingly noticing Bazel's surprise, Grandpa Pengpeng picked up the wine bottle and took several big gulps.

"Actually, when you think about it, everyone's skills are pretty much the same, except that my salt is different."

Walking back to his stall, Grandpa Peng picked up his salt shaker and shook it a few times.

"This is a treasure left behind by the water gods. Although the annual disasters have caused many deaths, the things left behind are also unique treasures that cannot be found in the outside world."

"You mean sea salt, right?"

Bazel finally remembered a scene from the manga, where the Straw Hat Pirates arrived in Water 7 and Sanji was amazed by the fried rice cooked by Grandpa Bazel.

He recalled that Sanji had said that he tasted the unique freshness of seafood and the feeling of a tsunami in the fried rice.

"That's right, it's sea salt! It's just that this year, because of you, the sea salt production is much lower than before."

Grandpa Peng Peng did not show any courtesy to Bazel because he was a great pirate and a benefactor of Water Seven.

They used terms like "you little rascal" and "you bastard" in their conversations.

"Kid, if possible, I'd also like to entrust the Seven Waters to you next year. Compared to the treasure sea salt, life is definitely more important."

"Here, this is your payment!"

Bazel saw the cardboard that had been stuffed into his hand, with a few words scrawled on it in black pen.

【PengPeng VIP Card - Hero Exclusive】

"I heard that a new 'Godly Car' has recently been released in the ocean, and different VIP levels can unlock different privileges."

"This is a membership card specially made by me. Whoever comes to me with this card in the future..."

"As long as I can still cook, cardholders will enjoy free services for life!"

"I understand. If I'm still alive next year, I'll definitely come back here."

Barzel carefully put away the "membership card," and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Leave the boats moored on the shore.

Keith G. Jack hurriedly stepped forward, gave a brief self-introduction, and led Bazel toward the city center.

"Sir, this way please."

After a few minutes of walking, when Bazel led Moomoo into a manor in the city center, the surrounding sounds instantly became quiet.

"Lord Bazel, here is the information you requested. Due to time constraints, this is all the information we have gathered."

Sitting on the living room sofa, Bazel, having removed his cloak, accepted the photos and papers handed to him by Keith G. Jack.

The content in the photo is a product that has been clearly cropped and reprocessed.

The Shipwreck Island incident occurred about two weeks ago.

Keith G. Jack stood in front of Bazel and began to explain the accident that had occurred two weeks earlier in a perfectly measured tone.

"We didn't know she and that kid were your friends, so at the time I just sent someone to secretly follow them."

"I only had these photos and documents collected because I found them strange at the time."

After reviewing the intelligence, Bazel's furrowed brows did not relax in the slightest.

"Kokoro, and that boy, where were they taken?"

"Enies Lobby!"

Keith pulled out a picture from the pile of photos showing World Government ships sailing.

"Someone saw their boat heading towards Enies Lobby!"

Judiciary Island?

A hint of doubt flashed through Bazel's mind.

He remembered Oimo and Kashi, those two giants, didn't they say they wanted to take revenge on that place? Did they fail?

Immediately, Bazel inquired about the news regarding Enies Lobby.

"You mean it was vandalized?"

Keith looked blank. "No, I didn't receive any news like that. Was it from several years ago?"

"It's nothing."

Bazell did not delve into this issue.

Half a month —

Given the distance from Water Seven to Enies Lobby, they should have already arrived at the city that never sleeps.

"Keith, I'll remember that name."

"But you'd better keep your composure. Since Vich sent you to pick me up, it means you're someone I can trust."

Bazel's rise was pointed.

"The King of Seastone is still Vicki, and can only be Vicki. Do you understand?"

Keith's expression was solemn, and his already slightly hunched back was now bent at a full ninety degrees.

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I know how to handle public opinion issues!"

Bazel didn't say much, and called to Moo, who was frolicking in the yard, to prepare to leave.

"I almost forgot the important thing. Do you have a permanent save point for the City of the Spring Queen?"

"Please wait a moment."

Keith's footsteps disappeared into the depths of the villa.

Half a minute later, the second-floor window opened, and a figure jumped down.

"My lord, this is the log pointer of the Spring Queen's City, because that place—you know what I mean."

"So we always keep some records of the pointers there, since it's a best-selling product."

"And this too."

Curious, Bazel took the suitcase Keith handed him, opened it, and found it filled with neatly stacked piles of ten thousand peso coins.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation; please do me the honor of accepting it."

"Thank you for your kind gesture. I will gladly accept it."

Patting Keith on the shoulder, Bazel smiled.

"You're not bad, kid. You can pass that message on to Viktor for me."

Keith, still bent over, had a flushed face and his eyes were full of excitement.

With that statement, he'll definitely carry more weight with Boss Wei, and might even get a promotion and a raise.

From being a liaison in Water Seven to being a liaison in the Sabaody Archipelago!

"Yes, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!!!"

The next moment, a strong wind came down, and grass clippings flew everywhere.

Keith did not close his eyes or block at all, and remained in a bowing posture.

Only after the leather boots in front of him disappeared did he slowly get up and look at the empty courtyard.

My damp back felt a bit uncomfortable in the night breeze.

But none of this could extinguish the burning passion in the man's heart.

With that one sentence, his chance to rise to prominence finally arrived!

Several more days passed.

That night.

Although it is night, compared to the long nights in other places, Jusco, known as the city that never sleeps, has a unique climate.

Because of its location, this sea area does not experience night in the conventional sense.

It is precisely because darkness never descends upon the sea that this place is called the "city that never sleeps".

[Judicial Island, Courthouse]

Oimo and Cassie were still guarding the gate.

"How strange, Cassie, that human hasn't given us permission to attack yet, but I can't hold back any longer."

"Be patient, Oimo."

Cassie patted his cheek. "You have to trust Captain Dorry and Captain Brogy's judgment!"

"That human who was trusted by the two captains must have his own purpose in doing things."

As he listened to the giant's whispers below, Bazel, who had just arrived above Enies Lobby, twitched at the corner of his eye.

really----

These two idiots are still waiting for me to give them a signal.

"I'm talking to you two—"

As the night breeze swept by, two figures inexplicably appeared on the ground.

"Didn't you say you were going to retaliate against Enies Lobby?"

"It's you, human!!"

Cassie scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Didn't you say you'd wait until you finished your business?"

"Neither of us knew whether you had finished your business or not, so we just waited here."

After a few moments of silence, Bazel suddenly interrupted the giants' foolish remarks and inquired about the prisoner who had been sent over half a month ago.

"A little brat and a female merman with legs?"

Before Cassie could speak, Oimo pointed to the Tower of Justice further back.

"I know, humans!"

"A World Government ship came in yesterday, I think it was Commander Spandam—"

"You idiot Oimo!"

Cassie suddenly jumped up and slapped Oimo on the head.

"He's not our superior anymore; we've been deceived!"

"Ah! I almost forgot about that, yes, we've been scammed!!"

Judiciary Island —

Bazel squinted as he looked toward Enies Lobby.

"Hey, now it's your turn to do your thing. Tear that place down."

Tearing apart the cumbersome green leaf cloak, and as the snot hanging from its nose was sucked into its nostrils, Moo's black pupils suddenly turned scarlet.

Moo!

Bang-!!!

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the ground as the sound of running carried far, followed by the harsh clanging of metal.

The mooing of the death knell.

"Oimo, let's charge! The time for revenge has come!!"

"Oh! Cassie, let's go!"

The two brainless giants picked up their weapons and kicked down the wall of the courthouse.

"Get out here! You liars! How dare you deceive a giant! I, Cassie, am the smartest giant!"

"Me too, Oimo!"

Looking up at the night sky, Bazel simply couldn't bear to watch what the two giants were doing.

He didn't want the stupid source of infection to enter Wano Country; it would be terrible if this single-celled organism were contagious.

"Let them go back to Elbaf after this is over."
