Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

"Do you have anything ready for us to eat, Miss Chef?"

"Yes, I'll serve you two some puff pastry first. The pizza and dough will be ready in a moment.

Dad, you also come to the kitchen to help me."

Lap took advantage of the situation and dragged his father, who was too nervous to move, to the kitchen.

"Let me help too. I guess you two are too busy." La spoke at this time.

"Ah?! No need, I'm alone... Oh, okay, you can come too."

Lapu subconsciously refused but changed her mind immediately after seeing La wink at her.

Just like that, the three of them went into the kitchen together, leaving Zephyr and Garp looking at each other in bewilderment.

[It seems that this girl is quite familiar with the owner of this store.] Zefa guessed so in his heart.

"pull……"

Lapu entered the kitchen and was about to speak when he was stopped by La.

La made a silent gesture and then picked up the menu and pen from the counter and wrote: [Don't talk, those two navy officers can hear you.]

Lapu nodded quickly, took the paper and pen, and wrote under Lapu's handwriting: [What's going on? Why are there navy ships on the island?]

[They were shipwrecked and ended up here. Don't panic, just carry on as usual.]

[But my father and I both have bounties on our heads...what if we're discovered?]

[They probably didn't recognize you. Be natural. If anything goes wrong, I'll take action.]

[you?]

[I am a member of the Beasts Pirates.]

"?!"

Lapu was shocked. She had never expected that the underage girl in front of her was actually a cadre of the Beasts!

This is not a style of painting at all!

[Are you kidding me?!]

Rapp wrote heavily on the paper.

[No, trust me. Now start making the pizza, and I'll send up the puff pastry.]

After writing this sentence, La put down the pen, took out the puff pastry from the counter, put it on a plate, and handed it to the two people outside.

Only Miss Rapp, who was still slowly digesting this shocking fact, and Mr. Saluzzo, who was still in a daze, were left.

"The puff pastry is here. You two can take a break. The pizza will be ready soon." La stood on tiptoe and put the plate on the table.

"Oh! Finally you're here! I'm starving!"

Finally seeing the food, Karp couldn't wait to get his hands on it.

"Mmm~ delicious! Ahhh..."

Smelling the aroma of the thousand-layer puff pastry, Zefa couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's really good. Little girl, do you want some?"

"Thank you, sir, but no thanks. I've already had breakfast."

La shook his head and declined, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

[What a polite and good girl! I hope my son can be as sensible as her in the future.]

Zefa couldn't help but think so as he looked at La Xiaoxiao's back.

When La returned to the kitchen, he saw that Lapu had already started kneading the dough, so he took out the pineapple and began to peel and cut it into pieces.

The pineapples were quickly peeled in the hands and then cut into small pieces of appropriate size.

The process was so smooth that even Lapu, who was standing by, couldn't help but admire it:

"I didn't realize you had this skill, Miss La. I used to think you were some noble lady~"

"I've learned cooking for a few days. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

After peeling pineapples for twenty people, La also started to help knead the dough. His movements were still very skillful, and his strength and frequency were exactly the same as Lap's.

Soon after, the first batch of pizzas came out of the oven, and the aroma wafting out made the two people outside the door, who had already finished eating puff pastry, salivate with anticipation.

"It smells so good! Even better than the pancakes made in the headquarters cafeteria!"

"really!"

"Haha! Looks like I've finally come to the right place. I'm going to eat my fill today!"

"Um... you'd better restrain yourself and don't tire the little girl out."

……

Chapter 68 Justice

The process of satisfying your appetite is joyful, and happy times always pass by quickly.

By the time the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already noon.

A lieutenant came here and reported that all the soldiers had finished their meals and gathered at the landing site in the morning waiting for instructions.

Upon hearing this, Zefa also stood up and prepared to pay the bill.

But by this time Miss Rapp was too tired to move, so old Saluzzo had to tremble and take over the still damp Bailey.

The two of them ended up eating nearly 70 pizzas! If they hadn't run out of ingredients, they could have eaten dozens more!

La, who was clearing the dishes, saw the two of them leaving, wiped her hands on her apron and asked:

"Have you two finished eating? Is it to your taste?"

"Hahahaha! Of course!"

When I get back, I'll ask the cafeteria chefs to add this pineapple pizza to the menu."

Garp gritted his teeth. He had always been a person who did not care about food, but now he made an irresponsible decision that was likely to cause division within the navy.

"That's good. I wonder how long you will stay here? I'll let the mayor know and make further arrangements."

"Well, maybe another day. Our mast is broken and needs a temporary repair."

Zefa assessed the damage to the warship and decided that it would take at least a day to repair it before continuing to sail.

"The mast is broken and it's probably difficult to repair. There are no boatmen on the island who can repair warships."

"Don't bother with that, it's just a temporary emergency.

We'll go to the blacksmith shop and buy some long iron rods to nail it back in place."

Zefa waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to trouble the townspeople.

"By the way, little girl, are you free?"

"Of course I'm free, but I need to clear these dishes first."

La pointed to the remaining plates on the table.

Because the two of them ordered so much, after the table was full, Rapp didn't plate the food and served the pizza directly, so there weren't many plates to clear.

However, given the current condition of the manager and his daughter, it would be inappropriate to just leave the mess on the table and walk away.

La's small body stood on the bench, arranging the plates that were too big for her. The serious expression on her little face made people feel pity for her.

Mr. Saluzzo, who had just settled Rapp, saw this and hurried forward:

"Oh, how can you, Miss La, do this? Just put it down and let me do it."

"It's okay, it's just a small favor."

"That can't be..."

"Haha, let me do it. We are the ones who caused you trouble by eating too much."

After saying that, Zefa really rolled up his sleeves and started packing up.

"Then I'll help too..."

"Karp, please stop making trouble."

I have to say that Zefa is the admiral of the navy after all. He quickly put all the plates in order and washed them at the same time.

After wiping the water stains off his hands, Zefa said:

"Little girl, could you walk around with us for a while? We want to learn more about the customs and culture of the island."

"Ah? Zefa, we are not here for tourism, just fix the boat and leave." Garp was a little puzzled.

"I suddenly had a thought. Can't I stay a little longer? If you don't want to transfer, go back and organize the team first."

"Forget it, I'll be leaving now. You can go around slowly by yourself."

After saying that, Cap took the lieutenant away, but instead of returning to the port, they walked towards a stall selling skewers nearby.

[It seems he's discovered something. After all, he's the famous admiral.]

Faced with Zefa's somewhat awkward invitation, La felt that he must have noticed something unusual, but she did not refuse.

On the one hand, the other party's soul did not show any hostility.

On the other hand, in a one-on-one situation, the advantage is hers.

So two figures, one big and one small, walked side by side along the street.

"Little girl, have any pirates come here?" Zefa asked naturally.

"Have."

"This place was previously ruled by pirates, but they went out to sea three days ago and haven't returned yet."

Any lie would have flaws, so La chose to answer truthfully.

"I see... No wonder I see so many signs of pirates living here."

As a veteran sailor with decades of experience, Zefa actually discovered the abnormality of the town from the very beginning.

Whether it's the residents' speaking habits or the strange buildings in the distance, they all have some obvious pirate style.

So even if the residents of the town are not pirates, they must have had close contact with pirates.

These details are exactly what La, who has just been in this world for a few days, could not have considered.

"Do you know which pirate group they are?"

"A hundred beasts."

"Beasts?! You mean the Beasts Pirates!"

Zefa's tone suddenly became higher. After all, they actually accidentally stumbled into the territory of the beasts. It was hard to tell whether it was good luck or bad luck.

“Yes, but they have already left with almost all of their people. I don’t know where they went, and they haven’t come back yet.

Even the pirate flag that had been hanging on the town gate was taken down, so the townspeople were a little worried.

After roughly understanding Zefa's character, La was no longer worried that he would vent his anger on the townspeople, so he told them everything.

Of course, she deliberately blurred the details of the group of logistical pirates who stayed behind.

"Worried... huh...

Sorry, this is all the Navy's incompetence!"

Zefa said this and suddenly bowed solemnly to La.

Thinking about how the residents here had to seek refuge from pirates, and thinking about the horrified looks on the mayor and the store manager's faces when they saw the navy, the sense of justice in Zefa's heart was deeply hurt!

"There are limits to how much one can do, and there are limits to how much one can do. This is true of most islands in the New World, and you don't need to apologize for it."

La was a little surprised by Zefa's sudden apology, but still comforted him out of politeness.

“No, the navy’s duty is to protect the people and eliminate pirates.

The fact that the residents of the New World can only survive by relying on the protection of pirates is the Navy's fault! It's the World Government's fault!

Zefa still kept his head down, his fists clenched, and he seemed to feel extremely guilty.
