After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

Nami covered her forehead, not knowing what to do. She angrily turned her head and walked away, saying, "We have Chopper and Usopp. Let them fight it out."

Chopper looked at Zoro and Sanji with concern, wondering if they would get hurt and whether he should stay and heal them. However, Nami grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the registration area.

Robin followed with a smile, while Usopp kept looking around, afraid of encountering someone he shouldn't, and cautiously followed as well.

Once Sanji saw Nami and Robin leave, he lost all interest in fighting Zoro and quickly jumped over to their side.

Zoro followed Sanji after he left. He was still very interested in the swordsmanship competition of the Adventure King Tournament. His goal was to become the world's greatest swordsman. He wondered if that man would come. He had made great progress since then.

"Are you going to register or not?" the staff member at the registration desk asked again. This was the Nth time he had asked this question in the past three hours.

"Yes, of course we'll register! What would we be doing here if we didn't register? It's just that we've lost our registration forms. Could you let us register first, and then give us the forms later? Big brother, look how beautiful I am, so please agree to my request," Nami seductively pleaded.

The staff member's heart raced instantly. Nami's adorable charm and voluptuous figure put a lot of pressure on him. However, the rules of the Temple of Good and Evil were very strict. If he did this, it would probably be very difficult for him in the future...

"Sister, I really can't help you. I want to help you, but there's nothing I can do..."

Martin had been keeping an eye on the registration area. Luffy, whom he was waiting for, hadn't shown up. This troublemaker, this guy who valued his straw hat more than anything, hadn't come. Had his entire crew really been wiped out?

Just then, Martin saw familiar figures like Nami, Zoro, and Sanji. He couldn't believe that despite his actions, Luffy's sudden turn of events was still as he had known. Was this fate, or was it a carefully orchestrated plan?

"What happened?!"

When the staff heard someone ask that question, they assumed it was a leader and immediately stood up and turned around to answer. To their surprise, it was the God King.

“Your Majesty, she…they don’t have registration forms and keep asking me to register them. But you know, I can only know if they have passed the preliminary round by looking at the stamp on the registration form, so I didn’t register them. But this girl keeps making a fuss and asking me to register them.”

Martin immediately understood what had happened. It must be that Luffy, that idiot, had taken the application form, and Luffy was lost in the Sabaody Archipelago, probably already eating, drinking, and having fun there.

"You're the God-King, judging from how he calls you, you must be his superior. Could you please help me get him to add our names to the list? We really made it through the preliminaries!" Nami feigned a pitiful look, pulling Martin along with both hands.

Monet and Smoothie, standing behind Martin, glared at Nami's actions with murderous intent. They had been smeared with oil on Martin, and yet a girl had gotten there first.

Zoro, Sanji, and Brook sensed the killing intent and immediately became alert, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. The killing intent was too strong, and they were finding it difficult to withstand.

Usopp and Chopper were so frightened that their eyes rolled back, looking like they were scared to death.

Robin and Franky watched nonchalantly, as if they were confident that nothing dangerous would happen.

Martin paid no attention to Nami; he knew exactly who she was. He glanced at the clock; there was only one minute left before the match started, and waiting for Luffy to appear was impossible.

"Add their team's name!"

Martin said something indifferently and then left, no longer caring about them. He just wanted to know what that idiot Luffy was doing and whether he still wanted the Straw Hat of the Pirate King.

The preliminary round was finally coming to an end, and the staff pressed the button to close registration, and a series of loud announcements rang out again.

"Thank you to all the teams that registered. The preliminary results of the Adventure King Tournament are out. A total of 123 teams have qualified for the finals. Over the next month, these 123 teams will compete for the title of Adventure King."

"Delicious, delicious, so delicious! This food is so good and it's free!" Not far from the registration point, Luffy stuffed food into his mouth and exclaimed loudly.

This is a warm-up for the chef competition. Each team that successfully registers will have a booth where they can prepare food. The ingredients will be provided by the Temple of Good and Evil, and diners can sample the food for free. Participating teams can gain popularity, and diners can choose their favorite team.

Registration is now closed!

Luffy suddenly froze, looking at the registration form in his hand, and then he remembered that he hadn't registered yet.

"No! I haven't registered yet! I want to become the King of Adventure! I want my straw hat back!" Luffy immediately jumped up and ran like a madman towards the registration point. Tears welled up in his eyes, and only now did he realize the seriousness of the situation, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Oh!"

Luffy slammed the registration form on the office table and started yelling, "I want to register! I want to register!"

"Luffy!"

Nami yelled and grabbed Luffy's ear, trying to pull him away from the registration point.

"Nami, what are you doing? I haven't registered yet. How can I participate in the competition if I don't register?" Luffy said, swatting Nami's hand away.

"You still remember to register, remember to participate in the competition. What were you doing all this time?" Nami snapped.

"How can you blame me? There's so much delicious food and meat along the way, it's all so delicious! Nami, let's go eat some more. Oh, right! I need to register first, otherwise I won't be able to participate in the competition." Luffy then let go of Nami and went back to register.

"No need to go, we've already signed up," Nami said helplessly.

"I've already registered, haha, that's great! I was worried that they wouldn't let me register if the deadline passed."

Luffy burst into laughter, then immediately added, "Come on, what are we still doing here? The food at your place is just too delicious..."

"Nami, Chopper, come quick! This looks delicious!" Luffy exclaimed, looking at the grilled squid at a stall.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Nami, why are you pulling me? I want to eat that grilled squid, it looks so delicious."

"Luffy, let's find a booth first. This is a crucial moment in the Adventure King competition, and Sanji's match has already started." Nami said, as she dragged Luffy towards an empty spot, because their booth was already quite out of the way due to late registration.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock!"

Luffy stretched out his legs, drooling incessantly, as Nami dragged him along like a corpse.

"That is!"

Luffy suddenly stood up, his entire demeanor changed drastically, his previous casualness vanished, and a terrifying aura soared into the sky.

"Nami, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going to teach a bastard a lesson."

Luffy habitually put his hand on his head, intending to press down his straw hat, but unfortunately, the hat was gone.

"Luffy, this is the Adventure King Tournament! Don't mess around, okay? We'll be in trouble if you get disqualified."

When Nami heard that Luffy was going to teach someone a lesson, she was so frightened that she lost her mind and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"No way! That bastard stole my straw hat! I'm going to teach that bastard a lesson!" Luffy said resolutely.

"Take your straw hat, Luffy. We'll take care of things here. You can go now!" Nami abandoned her previous idea when she heard Luffy say this. She knew what the straw hat meant to Luffy.

"Thank you, Nami. I'm off now." Luffy leaped off the ground.

"Give me back my straw hat!"

"Chopper, try this. This grilled tofu is delicious. I never imagined they could make such simple tofu taste like this." Martin scooped a piece of tofu from the plate and placed it in front of Chopper.

Just then, Martin heard Luffy's shout. Sensing with his Observation Haki that Luffy was flying towards him, Martin quickly tilted his head to make way. Luffy crashed headfirst into the iron plate, which immediately made a hissing sound.

"Grilled Luffy on a hot plate, not bad, not bad!" Martin exclaimed repeatedly as he looked at Luffy on the hot plate.

"It smells so good, so delicious!" Luffy suddenly stuck out his tongue, then rolled it on the hot plate, and ate the tofu on the hot plate clean in one bite.

"Delicious! Delicious! So delicious! Mmm! Why is it so hot! Ah! It's so hot! It's so hot!" Luffy shouted and jumped up, constantly touching his face with his hands, one side of his face was already red from the heat.

Chopper glanced at Luffy, but had no interest in the slow-witted idiot, and went back to eating his own toy.

"How was it, Chopper? Was the tofu delicious?" Martin asked as soon as Chopper finished eating the tofu.

"Big brother is just so-so, nothing special. It's not particularly delicious. It seems there's no food in this world that can satisfy me anymore," Chopper said, shaking his head as if he had tasted all the delicacies in the world.

"So cute, so cute!" Luffy saw Chopper's appearance and hugged him tightly, repeatedly resting his head on Chopper's shoulder.

"Get away from me, you idiot!" Chopper shoved Luffy away with a powerful push.

“Come on, Chopper, let’s try something else. There are so many stalls here, surely one of them will satisfy you.” Martin led Chopper to another stall.

"Wow, is this your pet? It's both cute and powerful," Luffy ran over to Martin and asked.

"No! This is my brother."

Luffy laughed after hearing Martin's words, "I also have an animal companion named Chopper, who is a very skilled doctor. By the way, can you give me back my straw hat? He's really important to me."

"No way! Didn't I already say that I'd give the straw hat back to you if you became the King of Adventure?" Martin shook his head and refused.

"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!" Luffy started acting like a scoundrel, his arms, legs, and neck constantly growing longer, trying to snatch the straw hat from Martin's hands, but he could never succeed.

"Oh!"

Martin was so annoyed that he punched Luffy away.

"Let's leave Chopper behind, let's find a food stall." Martin looked at each stall one by one.

"Delicious pig's trotters!"

"Chopper's pig's trotters, roasted pig's trotters should be delicious, how about we try some!" Martin pulled Chopper down to sit.

Just as Martin was about to pick up a pig's trotter, a long tongue flew from behind him, and with a flick of the tongue, all the pig's trotters disappeared.

"Goo!"

Luffy swallowed all the pig's trotters in one gulp, and his belly instantly became round and bulging.

"Give me the straw hat right now, or you won't get anything to eat. I'll eat all the delicious food."

Chopper smelled the aroma of roasted pig's trotters and had just drooled when the trotters disappeared. He was furious, but the thought of Luffy being an idiot made him lose interest.

“Brother, we’re not eating pig’s trotters anymore. Let’s go to another restaurant,” Jobara said to Martin.

"Okay, let's go to another one!"

"call!"

"Goo!"

.........

Luffy is like a shadow, following Martin and his crew wherever they go. He then devours all the food with a flick of his tongue, and once his stomach is full, he digests it with a twist and a squeeze, before continuing to steal food from Martin and his crew.

This was intolerable! Chopper was furious at Luffy's shameless behavior. It was one thing for Luffy to eat his food once or twice, but now he was stealing food from his mouth again and again. Chopper decided to teach Luffy a lesson.

Chopper, with his round body, ran towards Luffy, then jumped up from the ground and crashed into him like a ball.

"Oh!"

Luffy thought Chopper was playing with him, so he smiled and opened his arms to hug Chopper. However, he was hit in the chest and sent flying.

After being knocked away, Luffy didn't let go of Chopper's arms and legs. Instead, he wrapped Chopper up and rolled around on the ground, crashing and breaking through various obstacles until he finally stopped in front of Nami's stall.

"Luffy, what are you doing? Didn't you go to steal the straw hat? Why are you rolling around on the ground? What are you trying to do?" Nami said angrily when she saw Luffy like this. If it weren't for the reward, she would have quit long ago.

Chopper was held tightly by Luffy, and he tried to push Luffy out of his embrace.

"Are you alright?" Luffy released his hands and asked with a smile.

Chopper was taken aback by Luffy's sudden question. What do you mean, "Are you alright?!" Did he hug me just now to protect me?

"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" At this moment, Chopper also came out with a receiver and began to check on Chopper.

"It's okay, I'm fine, no need to check me, how could I be injured?" Chopper quickly said to Chopper.

"Luffy! It's not injured." Chopper quickly translated.

"Haha, it's great that you're not hurt. I was worried you were," Luffy laughed, then pulled Chopper along, saying, "Come on, let's go eat some more meat. The pig's trotters were so delicious."
