Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

With Luo Feng's command, no one was in the kitchen on the second floor, but plates of delicious food could be seen falling one after another, without spilling a drop of soup, and they were neatly placed on the huge dining table!

After traveling to so many places with Luo Feng, Nuoqi Gao's knowledge has broadened, and he has seen countless kinds of delicious food.

At this moment, the various delicacies laid out on the table can be described as a collection of specialties from all over the sea, with dishes from all over the world, a dazzling array.

Finally, the food was delivered down, followed by a cooking pot several times larger than usual, which floated down from the second floor and sat on the opening in the center of the dining table.

Chapter 267 The Banquet Begins!

In the center of the enormous dining table was a sizable opening. Beneath that opening was an insulated structure, inside which was a burning pile of firewood.

The notch, neither too big nor too small, fits perfectly with the huge pot, a perfect match, clearly a specially designed feature.

The cooking pot had already been set up, and then plates of side dishes were lowered down from the second floor and placed opposite the pile of already cooked food.

The pot was filled with red broth, bubbling away, and looked extremely appetizing.

That's right, this... is the incredibly delicious hot pot!

As a foodie from the 21st century, how could Luo Feng possibly forget this delicacy that was loved by everyone in his world?

Back when Kobra was helping build the Meteorite, Luo Feng wrote down a list of some supporting facilities and gave it to him.

Whether it's this outdoor restaurant or these custom-made tables, chairs, pots, and pans, everything was planned and designed from the very beginning.

"Guys, let's get started!"

As Nuoqi Gao descended from the second floor, accompanied by wines and drinks, Luo Feng waved his hand and made an announcement. Then, disregarding his image, he began to feast on his food.

Seeing this, all the crew members gathered around and sat down. Everyone was excited. Some ate rice, some drank alcohol. For a while, the ship was incredibly lively, with constant noise, shouting, and laughter.

At this moment, whether they are battle maniacs, training maniacs, or aloof and clueless, they are all in the same state of excitement. What could be more anticipated than a banquet?

The fake pirates aim to become the Pirate King; the real pirates aim to throw a banquet!

Not only the core crew members, but also the senior officers were present, making the Tianyun ship quite lively.

On his own ship, Luo Fengke has always been down-to-earth, treating everyone equally, whether they are core crew members or senior officers, without any discrimination.

Everyone was genuinely happy, especially at this moment. No one was afraid of Luo Feng's authority and couldn't let loose; everything seemed natural.

Seeing this amazing yet heartwarming scene, Violet stood blankly outside the area, staring at everything in a daze, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Is this the true state of this group?

This was the question in Violet's mind at that moment, a question she asked herself.

Having lived in the Don Quixote family for ten years, which always claimed to be a family but was actually hierarchical and divided by kinship, Violet was almost unable to distinguish who her true friends were.

This word was too jarring for her, just like Robin and Nami before her, who both suffered from it. However, the latter has now completely rid herself of her inner demons and integrated into the team.

It wasn't until she saw this scene, completely unadulterated and pure, that Violet truly felt that feeling she had almost forgotten, and her heart stirred inexplicably.

"What are you standing there for, Violet? This is a banquet specially prepared to welcome you aboard the ship. Although it's three days late, this is a bit much to be surprised by."

"Come over here and try Nochigao's cooking. It's definitely better than what your royal chefs make!"

Luo Feng was experienced and wise, though he couldn't possibly know exactly what Violet was thinking at that moment, after all, he wasn't a mind reader.

However, through the other person's experience, one can roughly understand Violet's feelings at this moment.

Therefore, Luo Feng deliberately avoided the topic of Dressrosa and teased her instead.

There is nothing that a banquet cannot cure!

“Yes, Captain, it is my pleasure.”

Upon hearing this, Violet snapped out of her daze, gently wiped her slightly moist eyes, responded with a faint smile, and then walked confidently toward the crowd.

"Sit here, this seat was reserved especially for you."

Luo Feng remained unfazed, ignoring the unfriendly stares around him, and patted an empty seat next to him before speaking to Violet.

Seeing the captain's somewhat fickle nature, the other women glared at him with hostility.

However, even Nami, who is usually very playful, did not joke around with Luo Feng at this moment. They both felt great sympathy for this princess who had experienced darkness just like themselves and did not want to spoil the atmosphere.

"Your skills are superb! You're even better than the royal chefs at the palace!"

Having temporarily set aside her past troubles, Violet truly integrated into this group.

After tasting the delicious food prepared by Nochi, Violet was full of amazement and couldn't help but praise it.

Without any pretense or flattery, Nochiko's cooking skills are truly top-notch. Royal chefs pale in comparison. He's even on par with Sanji's cooking skills from One Piece!

"Sister, you flatter me." Hearing everyone's praise, especially after seeing Luo Feng's eating habits, Nuoqi covered her mouth and chuckled.

As the chef of the Meteorite, nothing gave her a greater sense of accomplishment than this scene.

"Of course...!"

Luo Feng wiped his mouth, picked up his wine glass, and after downing a large glass with Zoro next to him, he responded to Violet.

That expression seemed to say: "You're awesome, aren't you? I trained you..."

"What is this? It feels... a bit like oden from Wano Country? But it's not quite the same..."

At this moment, Violet's attention was drawn to the hot pot on the other side of the food, and she asked in confusion.

In this vast ocean, every sea area and every country has its own unique cuisine. Even in Wano Country, which is under blockade, there is still oden, which has long been known and recognized by the world.

Violet, who has been by Doflamingo's side for a long time and has participated in every transaction with Kaido, knows a little about Wano Country, even if she doesn't know much about it.

As for oden, a dish that represents Wano Country, it goes without saying that someone of her status would be strange if she weren't familiar with it.

Looking at the bubbling red pot on the table, Violet was somewhat puzzled. Clearly, she didn't recognize this dish, which resembled oden.

"What do you mean by 'similar'? Oden? It's just some humble food from a tiny island nation. They can't even copy it properly... noon."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's face showed a hint of disdain, and he curled his lip, appearing quite disgusted...

"Uh... what plagiarism?"

Upon hearing this, Violet was confused and couldn't understand what Luo Feng was saying.

At this moment, Luo Feng realized that what he had said seemed to be a bit beyond his capabilities. He couldn't help it; a surge of innate blood energy inexplicably welled up within him, and he involuntarily blurted out those words...

"It's alright, you should try it first. This is a genuine delicacy from a mysterious country in the East!"

"Absolutely blows oden out of the water!"

Chapter 268 Violet: This guy is absolutely shameless

This method was naturally taught to Nuoqi Gao by Luo Feng. Everyone who had never tasted it before was amazed after taking the first bite and gave it unanimous praise.

And so, the famous cuisine from the 21st century was brought to the dining table of the One Piece world by Luo Feng, who also unintentionally stepped on the oden of Wano Country...

As a model youth, this kind of awareness is something one should possess!

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the banquet reached its climax. Everyone was a little tipsy, and even the girls who rarely drank had rosy cheeks.

The same was true for Violet, who had just boarded the ship.

Seeing this, Luo Feng subtly approached Violet, then reached out, lifted her chin, and raised her head. Their eyes met; it was an expression that looked like he was flirting...

"Violet, I've hosted a special banquet to welcome you. Shouldn't you reciprocate?"

Upon hearing this, Violet paused for a moment, then smiled without the slightest fear, and asked, "I wonder how you would like me to express my gratitude, Captain?"

"Of course, you should dance a song. As a dancer on the ship, shouldn't I be the first to judge you? What if your skills aren't up to par? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

Luo Feng spoke shamelessly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Seeing this, Nami, Robin, and the other women knew perfectly well what this lecherous captain was up to. He just wanted to watch beautiful women dance to feast his eyes, right? What a load of rubbish!

"Hehe, of course, no problem."

Without the slightest affectation or stage fright, Violet stood up and walked gracefully and confidently toward the entertainment area in front of the dining table.

"In that case, I'll accompany Violet-sister on the music~"

On the other side, seeing Violet preparing to perform her dance, Vivi, with her long blue hair, smiled playfully, skipped and hopped onto the stage, sat down in front of the guqin, and prepared to accompany Violet.

Dancing is impossible without music, isn't it?

As a princess of a great nation, Vivi is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She started learning from a young age and worked part-time as a musician and singer on the ship, where she was adept at helping everyone relax and regulate their emotions.

The two princesses, who were always adept at playing these instruments, exchanged a glance. Although they had never played together before, they had a remarkable understanding of each other...

Beautiful music and graceful dances began to unfold for everyone aboard the Meteorite that night.

Violet truly lives up to her title. Dressed in a red and white dance dress, she appears as a budding flower when still, but once she starts dancing, she truly resembles a blooming violet, breathtakingly beautiful!

Coupled with Vivi's beautiful piano music, the commotion on the ship ceased for a moment, and everyone enjoyed the performance and duet by the princesses of the two countries on the eve of the great battle.

In the darkness, amidst the misty sea fog, the lights and sounds here did not carry very far.

Although the banquet was quite a spectacle, it was difficult to spot on the vast open sea. Who would have thought that a large ship was anchored in the sea fog, holding a joyous banquet?

Happy times are always fleeting; before we knew it, the sky was already turning a pale white...

The banquet had been dismantled, and although everyone had been drinking fine wine all night, they were not drunk at all.

For those who have cultivated to this level, alcohol has little effect and is completely controllable.

"Nami, let's start heading towards Dressrosa. I think it won't be long before Bon Clay makes his move."

"Don't go too fast. Wait until Xiao Feng has completely succeeded before speeding up the landing on the island!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After receiving Luo Feng's order, Nami walked to the ship's wheel to direct the senior officers at the helm.

After all, the sea fog gets worse as the morning progresses; you can't see more than 30 meters away, let alone 100 meters.

Without an experienced navigator, even though it's only twenty nautical miles from Dressrosa, we might not be able to get there and could very well end up sailing further and further in the opposite direction...

Nami left, and Luo Feng, having nothing to do, strolled to the side of the boat.

Violet was alone there, constantly gazing in the direction of Dressrosa, keeping a close eye on what was happening back home.

Just then, Violet felt a warmth on her exposed shoulder and a warm breath near her ear. Startled, she quickly turned around!

It was none other than Luo Feng.

"What, did I scare you?"

Luo Feng's skin was always incredibly thick. He walked over and put his arm around Violet's shoulder without any 'politeness'. Anyone who didn't know better would think the two were very close, but little did they know that they had only met for the first time four days ago...
