One Piece Food System

Chapter 164 ‘Beggar’ Tezzolo

Walking through the alleys, Tezzolo's eyes searched everywhere, trying to see if there would be something edible that had been thrown away in any corner, even if it was leftovers.

Because he had been in this state of hunger for several days, he relied on digging out some food discarded by others from the trash to satisfy his hunger so that he would not starve to death.

In fact, with his skill, it wouldn't be like this.

In the past, he was struggling to make ends meet at the lowest level. Theft, cheating, fraud, robbery, etc. were all commonplace to him.

Relying on those skills that are not glorious, his life is actually not bad, and he is much richer than some ordinary people.

However, now he does not dare to take that kind of risk...

Because he had just escaped from that hell-like place, and now it was a sensitive period. People from the Navy and the World Government were arresting people who escaped from there.

Relying on his familiarity with the [Champaign Islands], he successfully disguised himself as a beggar, and passed through the navy's searches time and time again.

He didn't want anything to go wrong, which would lead to him being recaptured to that hell-like place, so he would rather be hungry and cold, and would rather live by scavenging than take any risks.

From the current point of view, his disguise is still very successful and no flaws have been revealed.

He believed that as long as this storm passed and the Navy no longer stared at those who escaped from there like him, he would be able to return to his normal life.

"Stella..."

His face was expressionless, but tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

Walking out of the alley, he hunched over to make himself look more inconspicuous, and continued walking slowly towards the next alley, because there was no food in that alley just now.

When he walked past a ramen stall, his feet paused involuntarily.

Smelling the irresistible fragrance, he swallowed secretly.

What this ramen stall sells is just the simplest ramen. There is no delicacy from the mountains and seas. It is just made with an ordinary soup and some basic ingredients. A bowl only costs one or two hundred beli. In the original, it was him. Food that I don’t even bother to look at.

But now, it was so out of reach in his eyes that he wanted to plunge into the noodle pot and eat every drop of the soup and noodles!

"Go away, go away, don't block here, you will scare away the customers." When the owner of the ramen stall saw such a ragged beggar standing in front of the stall, he immediately started to chase people away.

This is not because the boss is looking down on people, but because Tezzolo looks too unappetizing now. His standing here will indeed affect the business of the ramen stall.

"Yes, yes." Tezzolo apologized repeatedly and prepared to leave.

But his eyes still lingered on the pot of soup and noodles.

"That one over there, what about you? Come over and eat together."

Just as Tezzolo was about to leave, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"I?"

Tezzolo looked in the direction of the ramen stall and saw a young man holding a mini deer sitting in the ramen stall, looking at him with a smile on his face.

At the table where the young man sat, there was a very burly man and a cute-looking girl, who also looked at him with a smile.

"Well, that's you." The young man holding the mini deer nodded.

Tezzolo suddenly became undecided.

He is just an inconspicuous beggar now, why would anyone ask him to eat?

Just when Tezzolo was hesitant, he saw the owner of the ramen stall walking over with a somewhat embarrassed expression and preparing to say something to the young man. Then the young man casually took out a handful of beli and threw it to the ramen stall owner. The ramen stall owner backed away with a smile on his face.

"Come here quickly, do you want me to come over in person to invite you?" The young man looked at him again.

Tezzolo gritted his teeth and walked over there.

"Sit down." The young man pointed to the free side of the square table and said.

Tezzolo just hesitated for a moment and sat down. At this time, the ramen stall owner had brought another bowl of freshly cooked ramen and placed it in front of Tezzolo.

"You eat first, and then we talk after you finish." The young man opposite made an invitation gesture to him.

Looking at the milky white ramen soup in front of him, smelling the irresistibly tempting aroma, and with his stomach still growling in protest, Tezzolo couldn't care about anything else anymore, picked up his chopsticks and started Gobble it up!

He had given up thinking.

Now he doesn't want to know why the young man in front of him invited a 'beggar' like him to eat noodles for no reason, nor does he want to find out what's wrong here. He just wants to eat this bowl of noodles, not even a drop of soup is left. !

Appetite has taken over his brain!

When a person is extremely hungry, a bowl of ramen in front of him is enough to make him give up any principles!

All dangers and hells are forgotten!

Even the conversation between the three people on the table was automatically blocked by him. For him now, this bowl of ramen is his world!

"Boss, don't tell me that this guy is the person we went all the way to see." Kuif looked at the 'beggar' who was gobbling up the food with a strange look on his face, and asked Leifa.

"Yes, it's him." Refa stroked Dot's little head and nodded with a smile.

"But boss, he is just a beggar. Could it be that he also saved you like Aladdin?" Quaif still found it hard to accept.

"He is not a beggar." Refa shook his head and smiled.

Just when Kuif was about to continue asking, Tezzolo had already emptied the entire bowl of ramen, not even a drop of soup was left at the bottom of the bowl. From the look on his face, it was obvious that he was not full yet.

However, at this time, Tezzolo was no longer controlled by appetite as he had been two minutes ago. After filling his stomach, his IQ was back online.

He immediately looked at Leifa with a 'fearful' look on his face, "Sir, thank you for your hospitality, but I am just a beggar, I can't do anything..."

"Do you hate them?" Refa interrupted Tezzolo's nonsense.

"Huh?" Tezzolo was stunned.

"My dignity as a human being is trampled endlessly, and I live a life that is worse than that of domestic animals. I obviously have endless hatred in my heart. In order to survive, I have to work as a cow and a horse for them day after day... You , Hate them?" Refa looked into Tezolo's eyes.

"You -" Tezzolo wanted to act normal, but he could not suppress the shock in his heart, and looked at Lei Fa opposite him in astonishment.

"Are you scared?"

"I..." Tezzolo didn't know how to answer the question.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are afraid. They are too high and mighty. Not to mention a little person like you, even the royal families of various countries will be afraid in front of them. This is nothing for you to be embarrassed about, is it?" Refa said with a smile.
