The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 185 First Visit to the World of One Piece

The celebration at Polaris Dormitory continued until the early hours of the morning before everyone gradually dispersed and returned to their rooms.

Over the next few days, Jiang Yan was busy taking over the affairs left behind by Eizan Etsuya.

Moreover, he also needs to prepare for opening the store later.

This gave Jiang Yan a real headache.

Fortunately, after spending a few days with the help of Isshiki Satoshi, everything was finally sorted out.

There was still a week until the start of the Moon Festival.

Jiang Yan, unsure of what to do, simply returned home, preparing to embark on his journey to a new world.

Upon entering the gate to the world, Jiang Yan found himself in a new world.

The ground beneath my feet was a rough stone path, and the wind that rushed towards me carried a strong, salty smell.

Jiang Yan glanced around at the scene. He was near a port, where there were many wooden sailboats and shouts of loading and unloading cargo.

"A wooden sailboat, from a coastal town?"

Jiang Yan muttered something to himself, then prepared to ask a passerby for some information to confirm the world he was in.

Just then, a figure walked past him, instantly stopping Jiang Yan in his tracks.

He was a burly man who was over three meters tall; to be precise, his upper body was as muscular as a small mountain.

His arms were thicker than his waist, and his muscles were so bulging that they looked like they were about to burst open.

Looking down, his legs were so thin they were completely disproportionate, like two bamboo poles barely supporting a boulder. He looked very uncoordinated, making Jiang Yan afraid that he would lose his balance and fall to the ground at any moment.

Coming to his senses, Jiang Yan observed the pedestrians and quickly spotted several more passersby with equally outrageous personalities.

There are men with heads as big as their bodies, and middle-aged women whose mouths stretch to their ears and whose throats are visible when they laugh.

"This art style—"

Jiang Yan seemed to be deep in thought, having already guessed the world he was in now.

To verify his hypothesis, Jiang Yan turned around and walked over to a stall owner who was sorting out his catch.

"Excuse me, sir, where is this place?"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yan's clothes. He was clearly from out of town, and immediately understood. Jiang Yan must have come to this town by chance for some reason.

-

Such things happen quite often at sea.

"This is Loguetown, the town of beginnings and endings! The place where the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was born and died."

'

""

Loguetown, Roger—this truly is the world of One Piece.

Jiang Yan's expression became excited.

Sea monsters that can easily reach hundreds or even thousands of meters in length must contain immense energy within their firm flesh, and they must taste absolutely delicious.

There are also all sorts of strange and wonderful islands in the sea.

Especially the Boeing Islands, which are themselves "Barons of the Giant Carnivorous Plant Stomachs", every inch of their land is covered with edible delicacies. Just thinking about it makes Jiang Yan's mouth water.

Furthermore, the Land of Whole Cake Island, ruled by one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom, is practically a paradise for pastry chefs, a sea flowing with fruit juice, and islands piled high with all sorts of desserts.

The sea fish on the floating islands are also not to be missed.

Of course, in the world of One Piece, the most valuable food is undoubtedly the Devil Fruit.

However, the taste of Devil Fruits is quite unpleasant.

But no matter what, we definitely need to collect them.

And perhaps there's a way to make Devil Fruits taste better.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath of the sea breeze and began to plan his next trip.

First and foremost, we should definitely go to the Grand Line, since the Boeing Archipelago, Sky Island, and Whole Cake Island are all located there.

However, we need to carefully consider how to get to the Grand Line.

Just as Jiang Yan was pondering what to do, a deafening cannon blast suddenly erupted, making the windows next to him vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, chaotic screams swept across the entire street.

"Kill them! Loot the whole town!"

"Men, take all the valuables!"

"Pirates are coming! Hide!"

--------

'

'

The screams of women, the cries of children, the sound of stalls overturning and shattering, and the clashing of swords instantly turned the once bustling and peaceful port into chaos.

Looking at the crowd scattering and fleeing, Jiang Yan's expression was clearly not very good.

Before Jiang Yan could decide whether to avoid them, he saw several burly pirates with fierce eyes wielding blood-stained longswords, charging around.

The pirate at the front grinned maliciously and slashed down with his long sword. A panicked civilian fell into a pool of blood before he could even finish his scream, the warm blood splattering onto the mottled stone pavement.

Jiang Yan's face darkened, and a hint of undisguised coldness flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, Jiang Yan's figure left an afterimage in place as he blocked the way for the pirates.

Those fleeing around them only felt a gust of wind brush past them.

The pirates were still caught up in the brutality of their burning, killing, and looting, and had no idea that Jiang Yan had arrived.

Jiang Yan didn't give the pirates any chance to react. He kicked each of them cleanly in the chest.

Several muffled explosions rang out in succession. Several pirates, like tattered sacks hit by cannonballs, flew dozens of meters away with cries of pain, crashing into roadside stalls and scattering wood chips and gravel all over the ground.

This was even after Jiang Yan had used more than 90% of his strength.

With his physical strength, if he were to go all out, these people would probably be turned into a pile of minced meat, leaving not even a complete skeleton.

Of course, even such force is enough to kill a ferocious beast.

To Jiang Yan's slight surprise, the pirates who had been kicked away, clutching their sunken chests and coughing up blood, helped each other to their feet, swaying as they looked at him with a mixture of fear and resentment.

"Heh, as expected of someone from the One Piece world, their health bar is quite thick."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

The force that would kill a ferocious beast would only result in serious injury to these ordinary pirates, who would still have the strength to stand up.

Now that he had made a move, Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't let them go.

Before Jiang Yan could make another move, a series of hurried footsteps and shouts approached from afar.

Under Jiang Yan's watchful gaze, a squad of soldiers in naval uniforms rushed over and mercilessly punched and kicked the already seriously injured pirates, completely subduing them on the ground.

-

In no time at all, the pirates were tightly bound, their faces bruised and swollen, barely alive, and were escorted away by the soldiers.

After dealing with the pirates, a naval corporal quickly walked up to Jiang Yan and said gratefully.

"Sir, thank you so much for your help!"

"You are welcome."

Jiang Yan waved his hand casually.

"I just can't stand these scum who indiscriminately kill innocent people. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

He disliked pirates, but he also didn't have much affection for the Navy.

The corporal nodded upon hearing this, without exchanging any more pleasantries. There were still quite a few pirates who had escaped capture and were causing trouble, so he didn't have any extra time to waste.

After thanking Jiang Yan again, the naval corporal immediately led his soldiers and rushed towards the direction where the riot was most severe.

As the chaos on the street gradually subsided, the residents who had been hiding cautiously emerged, tidying up their overturned stalls while sighing in frustration.

--------

"Honestly, this is the third time this month. These pirates never seem to have a moment of peace."

A woman holding a child frowned and patted the child's back to comfort him.

The elderly man with gray hair next to him sighed heavily.

"If Colonel Smoker were still here, how could any pirates dare to cause trouble in Loguetown! Since he left, there have been more and more pirates!"

The surrounding residents echoed their sentiments, their voices filled with longing for Smoker and helplessness at the current chaotic situation.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. Since Smoker had left Loguetown, it meant that the Straw Hat Pirates had already entered the Grand Line.

Jiang Yan had originally thought that if the Straw Hat Pirates hadn't arrived in Loguetown yet, he might be able to hitch a ride. Of course, Jiang Yan wasn't curious about just how magnanimous that little thief "Nami" really was.

He simply wanted to taste how delicious Sanji's cooking was.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of all the random thoughts, Jiang Yan looked toward the center of Rogge Town.

Although we were planning to go to the Grand Line, since we were already in Loguetown, how could we not visit the place where the Pirate King Roger was executed?

Even if the current execution platform is a later reconstruction, we still have to go and see it, after all, it is the place that started the entire Great Pirate Era.

After making up his mind, Jiang Yan asked for directions and headed towards the execution square.
