The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

But he didn't care, since he'd already made a promise with Nami and the others before they parted ways during the operation...

If you plan to leave this fortress, send a signal using Sky Island Coins.

So it doesn't matter where Link stays.

Fortunately, within this kitchen, you can also enjoy a variety of ingredients and delicacies from all over the world by this sea.

After wearing the [Cooking Badge], Link had never actually tasted the food he made, so he didn't know what it tasted like.

While Link was studying cooking, he and Luffy were enjoying a rare and carefree meal.

the other side.

Everyone else has their own circumstances.

During his adventure, Chopper met Dr. Cobato. Since there were many injuries and a shortage of doctors, Chopper disguised himself as a doctor and treated many patients.

Sanji was being held back by Nami and Usopp, so he didn't have a chance to get close to the cafeteria.

However, by sheer coincidence, they ran into the real Marei brothers who wanted to ask for directions to the canteen.

He was a short, stout man with a thick beard, and a tall, thin man with a noble beard.

While having Sanji and Nami lead the way, the two brothers kept boasting about their cooking experience in Mary Geoise and how outstanding their skills were.

As a result, after Sanji casually asked them two questions about cooking on the way, he realized that these two guys were all show and no substance, just empty shells.

I know absolutely nothing about cooking or preparing food.

Sanji even deliberately asked about the cooking method for two ingredients that absolutely cannot be mixed, otherwise eating them would cause diarrhea. The two brothers answered without hesitation that they should be cooked together.

What the hell are you talking about?! Go cook my ass!

Sanji, annoyed, lit a cigarette and then casually kicked the two idiots out of a room.

I was initially interested in finding this seemingly impressive person to learn from, but it turned out to be two scoundrels who were just swindling people in the culinary world and had absolutely no skills.

Then, somewhat disheartened, they followed Nami and Usopp, planning to find a place to rest after exploring the fortress, and then leave immediately.

Robin did encounter a man named Shepard who introduced himself as a lieutenant commander and special inspector of the Marine Headquarters.

Then, using the 5.9 power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, he knocked him down, changed into his inspector's uniform and name tag, contacted the higher-ups at Baron Fortress, and went to the library to look up information.

Zoro, on the other hand, was even more peculiar. He thought that if possible, he would like to find the highest-ranking lieutenant general stationed at Nabaron Fortress and have a good spar with him.

After going back and forth several times, he found himself back in the same spot, which made him so angry that he started wildly slashing with his knife.

In short, almost everyone has some adventures and gains in this fortress.

The fortress became tense because of Luffy and his crew's arrival.

[I'm dumbfounded, brothers!! I never imagined that Luffy would have the Mythical Zoan power of the Human-Human Fruit. Luckily, I didn't foolishly speculate about his abilities. Thanks to that, this book hasn't fallen apart yet!]

Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

It didn't affect the main storyline or subsequent plot much; in fact, I was able to develop it even better.

So let me take these two chapters to sort things out and think carefully about how to write them. Ultimately, I want to present the best possible content to everyone. I'll post one chapter tonight, and the remaining three chapters will be posted tomorrow. That's all.

[Also, a big thank you once again to '上善若水' for the 1000 RMB donation! This is truly a generous donation, thank you!!!]

Nathan's attention, you two brothers really are nothing alike!

"It's so delicious! All of these are flavors I've never tried before!!"

"They said exactly the same thing as the other students from the previous class who ate there!!"

"Indeed, the variety of dishes is quite extensive. I especially love the dish called 'Guobaorou' (Sweet and Sour Pork)!"

"I love braised lion's head meatballs, they taste absolutely amazing!!"

"And there's also stewed chicken in a clay pot, and that's called 'drinking flatbread,' right? Dipping it in the soup is absolutely delicious!!"

"Besides meat dishes, dishes like Mapo Tofu and Fried Eggplant, which are clearly small vegetables, are still incredibly delicious!!"

"As expected of a chef from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, both the dishes and the taste are simply superb!!"

Every Marine who has ever tasted Link's Chinese cuisine raves about it.

Some sailors even tried to stay behind to eat more, but Jessica discovered them and kicked them out.

"You're really popular!!"

Inside the bustling kitchen, most of the chefs were gathered around Link.

With the addition of these new dishes, the naval soldiers were less willing to eat the dishes they used to make.

Therefore, the cooking work was basically left to Link.

The chefs, who had imagined the tragic fate of Link and Luffy, naturally had no objections.

They even hoped to have some free time and take the opportunity to learn from Link, to see if they could learn a trick or a recipe that they could also make.

Of course, stealing someone's skills is a big taboo even in the world of One Piece, and the group of chefs consulted Link before watching.

Link had no objection; he didn't plan to stay here for long anyway, so it didn't matter whether they learned from him or not.

He would even be happy to see Chinese cuisine flourish in the world.

“Every shift of soldiers comes here specifically for your cooking.”

The chef with the thick lips and wavy, curly hair laughed, "You're now the most popular person in the entire Nabalon Fortress!"

"No, compared to Miss Jessica and Lieutenant General Jonathan, I'm still far behind."

Link rolled up the freshly made grilled cold noodles and jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) and distributed them to the chefs around him, so that everyone could eat and drink together.

Yes, in the kitchen, nothing brings people closer than food.

The atmosphere suddenly became much more lively again.

"Seriously, you two brothers really don't look alike at all!"

The other chefs ate the dishes they ravaged while watching Luffy, who seemed to be a starving ghost reincarnated, devour the kitchen.

"He doesn't look like the kind of chef who could run a naval kitchen at all, but you are different!!"

Their gazes toward Link were filled with nothing but admiration:

"Their skills are excellent, they are fast, and they are very efficient. Most importantly, the dishes and the taste are fantastic and very popular."

“I even think that you could supply food normally even if you were the only one in the kitchen of this fortress.”

"No, you're overpraising me."

Link rolled himself a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) with an egg, and ate it while modestly making a fuss.

"If you have time to chat here, you should get back to work!"

Just then, Jessica walked over carrying a basket full of groceries. "Look at you all now! Except for Marley, you're all so idle!"

"Even if you don't need to cook the main course, you can still make the appetizers, sauces, drinks, etc., right? Even if you don't need to cook those, there are still tasks like washing dishes, peeling vegetables, and washing vegetables waiting for you!!"

Jessica, with her strong temper and assertive personality, solemnly gave the instructions:

"The guests at table number eight are arriving soon, so hurry up and get moving!!"

Wow~

With Jessica's prestige, this arrangement caused all the chefs who had been surrounding Link to scatter in all directions.

They quickly stuffed the grilled cold noodles and jianbing (Chinese crepes) they were holding into their mouths.

With a satisfied smile on his face, he threw himself into the preliminary preparations for the dishes.

"You probably don't know who the guests at table number eight are, do you?"

At this moment, the withered, dark-skinned cook leaned over and kindly whispered a reminder to Link:

“In our G8 fortress, all numbers related to the number 8 are used by the most important personnel.”

"For example, dining table number eight, office number eight, living room number eight, etc., are all the seats of Lieutenant General Jonathan, the highest-ranking officer of our Nabalon Fortress."

At this point, he added with a touch of gossip, "Besides, Lieutenant General Jonathan is also Miss Jessica's husband. She'll definitely take good care of her husband, so she'll definitely come to discuss the next menu with you..."

"Mare, come here for a second!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jessica's voice came from the stove.

"really?"

Link had already detected these situations using the radio waves from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so it wasn't surprising.

He immediately turned off the stove and, with some regret, went to discuss the menu for Jonathan with Jessica.

If he could, he really wanted to use croton as the main ingredient to cook a croton feast for the admiral.

It will absolutely guarantee that he will have smooth bowel movements and will no longer suffer from constipation.

Although he himself has never experienced this kind of trouble.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Jonathan, the commander of Fort Nabaron whom Link had been trying to smooth things over with, was also reviewing intelligence in his office.

"Ya-chao-ya-weng, how strange~"

He leaned back in the sofa chair, rubbing his temples as if he had a headache.

"They suddenly broke into our fortress, but so far, we haven't seen a single person."

"Furthermore, we don't know what their purpose is, and we don't have anything here that could attract them."

"They hid themselves so well, leaving no trace whatsoever..."

Jonathan pondered for a moment, then looked at Major Drake standing in front of him.

This is not that fallen Marine Rear Admiral, but a Supernova pirate with the Allosaurus Fruit ability.

Instead, there is a man with the same name, Major Drake, who has a very square face, in this G8 fortress.

"How is the new inspector doing?"

"Yes, we have already sent soldiers to monitor him, but he seems to be staying in the library the whole time and shows no signs of coming out," Drake replied solemnly.

"That's it..."

Jonathan stroked his thick beard. "At this crucial moment, any outsider could be a member of the Straw Hat crew in disguise. Keep a close eye on him and see if he slips up."

"As ordered!"

Drake responded, then seemed to remember something, his expression turning hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

Jonathan noticed and asked.

"Yes! In fact, besides this suddenly arriving inspector, I heard there are also two chefs from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Drake replied, "They are also people who arrived here recently."

"Those two, I remember Jessica told me that the kitchen had extended invitations to those two chefs a long time ago, and their arrival at this time is just in time."

Jonathan looked up. "I heard that lately the soldiers have been talking about guessing what they'll be having for their next meal, is that right?"

"Yes!"

Drake nodded. "Because that chef from Mary Geoise recently, his cooking has been absolutely delicious."

"And these are dishes I've never had before. Not only do they taste great, but they're also incredibly satisfying to eat!!"

Just thinking about all the delicious food I've ever eaten—stuffed chicken, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork, and so on—that I've never seen or even heard of before...

"Gurgle?"

Drake instinctively swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"Is that so?!"

Jonathan, who had been watching Drake's performance, also had a gleam of interest in his eyes.

"It seems that he is indeed a world-class chef from the holy land."

After all, how could a pirate have such amazing cooking skills?

Or to put it another way, with such skills, why not make a living anywhere, instead of going to sea to become a criminal pirate?

Of course, given how magical this sea is, where all sorts of things have happened, Jonathan did not give up on this last bit of suspicion.
