As night fell, the tea party gradually became lively, and there was no large banquet.

And it's an open-air buffet, and more importantly... the ingredients of the buffet are brought by the guests, and the chef of the buffet...is the guests.

Those young people who participated in the Chef King Competition today, as well as their team, have become the chefs of the tea party at this time, but no chefs will feel impatient.

Because unexpectedly, among the Charlotte family, there are many young ladies who like food and cooking. At this time, they are all hanging out in various open-air kitchens to communicate with the chefs.

Before these young chefs came to the tea party, they had already been told that the purpose of this tea party was to attract the attention of the ladies of the Charlotte family, preferably to make them favor.

Although the latter seems to have not been achieved yet, it has indeed successfully attracted their attention, and even some of the quick-responders are already teaching hands-on.

However, in the venue, the team with the highest score in the competition for the king of chefs did not even turn on the stove and oven. Chef Sanji was sitting on the high stool beside the corner sink smoking Smoky.

In fact, Sanji was still very excited when he followed the other teams participating in the Master Chef Tournament into the main venue in the afternoon, because it was very likely that he would see that girl again.

Although the little girl who secretly tasted her own seasoning only had less than a minute of contact, Sanji felt that the most suitable partner for him was this little girl who loved food.

As for Luffy who also stole the seasoning...he's an idiot.

Sanji even thought about whether there was a possibility that the girl he met was actually a certain sister of Katakuri. If so... Wouldn't it be more beautiful?

Only after entering the main venue, he kept observing, until the appearance of the sister group of the Charlotte family, Sanji became so lost, because he did not see the girl.

It's not that he dislikes the girl because she's not from the Charlotte family, but... this way, it will be difficult for him to find that girl again.

After all, there are too many "foreigners" gathered in Totland, and various forces have brought their own outstanding young people here, and... Sanji doesn't know if there are other "tracks".

In the cooking track alone, today he saw that half of the team were directly persuaded to leave, and they were not even qualified to participate in the real tea party.

Therefore, it is very likely that the girl, following the ship that left Cake Island, also left the place where they met.

Not only that, but there was an even more disturbing thought in Sanji's mind, and that was... what if the girl didn't leave, but other forces brought those strange men in Totland on a blind date?

What if that girl, like him and his enchantment, had been entrusted and even ordered by her parents to marry those strange men against her will?

Or, that girl likes these grotesque guys...

"Whoo~"

Holding his own thoughts, Sanji took a long breath, and then scratched his hair in annoyance.

Looking up and looking at his friends, Luffy was running around in various open-air kitchens and committing crimes. No matter what kind of food, he had to eat a large plate.

Sauron was saying some strange things to those with swords, or asking them if they knew where the man named Cavendish was.

At this time, Usopp was sitting in front of a few children who did not know which force brought him, talking about his great adventure from the East China Sea to this new world.

Robin, Nami, and Garrett were chatting with some daughters who seemed to be nobles. As for Pedro and the younger brother Bepo, they were constantly patrolling to see if there was any illegal activity. staged.

Franky and Chopper perform human acrobatics alone, while a civet cat is a model of various human acrobatics that the human body cannot do at all.

The friends are all very happy, except for Kinemon and Momonosuke who are still on the pirate ship, no... Sanji looked to the side and leaned against Abel who was sitting under the candy tree. He also seemed to be out of tune with these environments.

Sanji stood up, walked to his side and sat down, looking at Abel who had just joined the team but was always like a reliable big brother, and asked:

"Abel, don't you like banquets?"

Abel shook his head and said, "I have attended too many boring banquets. Food, wine, and beauties are nothing but prosperous."

Sanji handed over a cigarette, Abel waved his hand, indicating that he did not smoke, Sanji took it back, and asked with a hint of ridicule, "Aren't the beauties interested?"

"I don't have that much enthusiasm, and the emotions I have left may only be enough for me to be happy once, or to be melancholy once."

Hearing Abel's words, Sanji blinked, and it was difficult to imagine Abel's state, because the straw hat boat was always full of enthusiasm, whether it was laughter, anger, or sadness, it was very "enthusiastic".

But Abel really never seemed to show this kind of emotion. In retrospect, this big brother was helpless except for being speechless, or he was as calm as this time.

Abel didn't expect the young man to understand himself. He raised his head and said, "Your family is here."

When Sanji heard the words, his expression and actions were all stunned, and then he followed Abel's gaze, and saw a few people walking in the distance, it was... the "family" he had not seen for many years.

In the distance, Jiaji, who was originally dissatisfied, seemed to have noticed Sanji at this time, and his expression became strange, and behind him, the three sons were still expressionless.

As the eldest daughter, Reiju, the moment she saw Sanji, the almost invisible disappointment and doubt in her eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a slow surprise.

She also asked her father today, but Gaji's answer was "it's none of your business", which made Reiju think that Sanji would not come, but she was extremely disappointed, but she just happened to see that he was looking towards here. of Sanji.

Reiju wanted to run over to give her brother a hug, but seeing Gage's complicated expression, she resisted her urge again, after all... children of the Vinsmoke family shouldn't be like that.

"Humph!"*2

Gaji and Sanji, almost at the same time, both snorted, Gaji frowned, and walked towards Sanji, Reiju was overjoyed, and her footsteps could not help but light up, but after two steps, she again. Back to normal.

At this time, Sanji was angrily looking at Jiaji, as well as his several children and his own brothers, all wearing the disgusting battle uniform at this time, but only...

My sister, however, put on a fancy dress, and even took care of her hairstyle and makeup.

As for his so-called father, the reason for doing this is self-evident. To put it more vulgarly, he intends to let Reiju attract those grotesque people from the Charlotte family.

At this time, Jiaji and his party also came to Sanji. Jiaji looked at Sanji with very complicated eyes, and Sanji's brothers glanced at Sanji's dirty clothes. Showing a mocking look.

Only Reiju, when looking at Sanji, quickly blinked her eyes twice, and then the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Although she didn't bring down her smile, it was obvious that she was able to show her favor. maximum.

"You're still here."

Gaji calmed down and said coldly to Sanji. Sanji threw the cigarette **** under his feet and stomped it out, and then took out a point without looking at his father.

Instead, he turned his head to look in the direction of Candy Castle, and then said, "Katakuri hasn't come out yet, you still have time to take back your ridiculous plan."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Leijiu, who was originally full of surprises, also realized that the atmosphere was not right at this time. She frowned slightly and looked at her father.

When Gage heard the words, he said coldly: "It's ridiculous? Are you ridiculous? Do you think you can do anything wrong in Totland?"

"he can."

Suddenly, Abel, who was sitting under the candy tree, but still tall, suddenly spoke. Gaji also looked at the candy tree at this time, and when he found out that it was Abel, the corners of his eyes also twitched.

However, he quickly stabilized his emotions, and then said: "Who am I? It's Mr. Abel? But... Have you misunderstood something?

You are no longer the Fire Beast of the Beast Pirates, but just a follower of a poor boy in the East China Sea. Doing bad things in Totland, do you think you can leave alive? "

Abel stood up slowly, looked down at the "short" Gage, and said, "You don't have to worry about whether we can walk or not, because by then you won't have the life to think about this."

Hearing Abel's naked threat, Gage's eyes widened suddenly, and then he pretended to be calm and said, "Are you going to attack me now? If it's too late, I'll let Mr. Katakuri know that you're here. Threatening his guests."

Abel shook his head and said: "Killing you can be done at any time, you can sue, but... a person who seeks a living space, Katakuri will really kill you. as a guest?"

Hearing this, Sanji also smiled, took the cigarette from his mouth, and said, "Use your own sons and daughters in exchange for the soil to survive. Is a scum like you worthy of being a father?"

Hearing that his father was insulted, Iji, Niji, and Yuji behind Gaji almost instinctively wanted to attack Sanji and Abel.

But the next moment, Abel's back suddenly burst into flames, and Sanji also raised his knees slightly, as if ready to fight.

"stop!"

Gage turned his head at this time, and whispered to his three sons, if he just shot Sanji, but Abel...

Hearing this, the three of Iji also stopped attacking, while Leiju frowned, looked at her attire, then looked at Iji and the others, and fell silent.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of some people. Many guests who attended the tea party, or people from the Charlotte family, all looked over here.

Soon, Smoji, one of the generals of the Big Mom Pirates, noticed the situation here, and walked towards this side with those long legs.

She looked at Abel who was angry and said, "Abel, do you want to make trouble in Totland?!"

Abel looked at the woman who became famous very early and was known as the three generals of Totland along with Katakuri, and said, "Yes, if necessary."

Abel's straightforwardness surprised Smoothie for a moment. When she found out that Abel appeared on Cake Island, she immediately went to confirm with her eldest and second brothers.

But the elder brother Perospero said that there was no Abel or the Straw Hats in the invitation list, but Katakuri agreed to them to stay.

Originally, Smoothie had a problem with Abel, the uninvited person, but at this time, he became even more angry when he heard that he dared to blatantly say that he was going to make trouble in Totland.

In an instant, she reached out and grabbed the huge sword hanging behind her back.

"Brother Katakuri! Mom! Brother Perospero!"

At this moment, in the Candy Castle, a girl who was looking at the situation outside with a telescope through the candy window suddenly turned back and shouted eagerly.

Katakuri, who was listening to his mother complaining that dinner was not as good as afternoon tea, heard the words and also looked up, looked out the window pointed by his sister, got up and walked over, and asked, "What's wrong? Breen?"

However, his height was too high, so he walked to Brin's side in two steps. Before Brin could answer, Katakuri was already standing by the window and saw the scene Brin pointed to.

But after just one look, he took his eyes back and said, "It's okay, by the way, Brin, why don't you go out to play? I heard from Garrett and the others that you ran out this afternoon, why are you staying here now? already?"

"I...that...I want to spend more time with my mother."

Brin lowered her head, thinking of the very considerate chef she met in the afternoon, her face turned red, Katakuri instantly realized something was wrong, frowned, and looked at the situation in the distance again.

Seeing the blond young man, his eyes gradually narrowed. If I remember correctly, it was because of this young chef that the Straw Hats were able to enter the main venue, right?

For a moment, Katakuri wanted to go out and interfere in this matter, and take a good look at the young man by the way, but... it's a bit late to go out now, and the conflict is destined to not break out.

"Look! There's a catcher over there! Sure enough, the dance can't be without this!"

Outside, when the atmosphere gradually became tense, a crisp voice sounded, and Smoothie, who was interrupted, turned around and glared, but he could only turn back unwillingly.

It wasn't the one who spoke up. The girl who was still holding an umbrella at night had nothing to worry about. The key was the man beside her who was wearing a top hat, a dress coat but no shirt, and a big cross sword hanging behind her back.

This kind of decoration is quite recognizable in this sea, because only one person can wear it like this, and gradually, it has become the only one who can wear it like this.

"The world's greatest swordsman! Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk!"

At this time, there was also an exclamation from the crowd, Mihawk's popularity in this sea is not low, and it can even be said to be the most famous people.

At this time, Perona, who was beside him, also noticed this scene. When she saw that everyone was only paying attention to Mihawk, and no one cared about her, she said a little unhappily:

"Mihawk, they only have you in their eyes. You must be very proud, right? You must be very proud, right?"

"Noisy."

Mihawk said flatly, Perona's eyes lit up inexplicably, and then said: "I also think they are very noisy..."

"I am talking about you."

"Mihawk!! You... hum!"

Perona was puffed up, but she still followed Mihawk. After all, she was surrounded by strangers. Even if she left, there seemed to be nowhere to go.

Mihawk also looked in the direction of Abel and Smoji at this time, then withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward without rushing, and the people in front of him also spontaneously moved away the road.

"Mr Mihawk!"

Suddenly, there was another voice behind him, and a very handsome young man also ran towards this side, which also caused some voices, but they were all brighter female voices.

"Mr Mihawk, long time no see."

Cavendish didn't pay attention to his own fans, but followed Mihawk's footsteps sideways like a fan who saw his idol. Mihawk nodded and said:

"You seem to have made some progress. I will give you a chance to challenge me when I have time."

Mihawk's words were very arrogant, but after speaking through his calm voice, it was like the truth, and Cavendish's eyes also showed stars, and said:

"Really? Actually, I've wanted to challenge you for a long time, but I've always been afraid of disturbing you. If you have time, why don't we just do it for a few days, okay?"

"Is that him? The young man you said is qualified to challenge you."

At this time, another voice sounded, and a green algae head emerged from the crowd, looking at Cavendish dissatisfied.

Before leaving Kraigana Island, Sauron made a request to formally challenge Mihawk, but was rejected by Mihawk. The reason was that Sauron at the time was not even qualified to challenge him.

Because Zoro had failed once before, if he wanted to challenge again, he had to raise the threshold.

When Zoro asked what step he needed to reach to be eligible to challenge Mihawk again, Mihawk gave the answer... There is a young man named Cavendish, and defeating Cavendish is almost the same Qualified.

That's why when he heard that he was going to come to Totland to make trouble, he rarely raised his fighting spirit, because this **** Cavendish lived in Totland, and if he wanted to defeat him, he had to come to Totland.

"You are... I remember, a supernova two years ago."

Cavendish looked at Sauron with a little contempt in his eyes. Since he lived in Totland, he seldom received information from the outside world, but Sauron still remembered.

Because when I went to Totland two years ago, I saw some documents, including Luffy's information. Zoro at that time was mentioned in Luffy's documents.

However, in Cavendish's eyes, the title of supernova is nothing, and it seems that whoever said it is not the same.

Moreover, this young man dared to interrupt his conversation with Mr. Mihawk, and the thought of this made Cavendish even more dissatisfied.

Looking at this scene, Perona showed a very weird smile and said, "Yo~~~ Mihawk, seeing the bees and butterflies you provoked, they are all crazy for you~"

"You can't speak, you don't have to."

Mihawk glanced at Perona speechlessly. This girl is actually good, except that she has a long mouth.

Cavendish also got some meaning from Perona's words at this time. He looked at Mihawk and asked, "Mr. Mihawk, do you know this young man?"

Mihawk looked at Zoro, then nodded and said, "This is mine..."

Suddenly, he paused. He never thought of defining the relationship between him and Sauron, saying it was a master and apprentice... At that time, Sauron was clamoring to defeat him before learning from him.

But it's not a master and apprentice, Sauron did learn kendo from him, and he also imparted some experience to Sauron.

But between the two, there is no name of master and apprentice. For example, Skyler is the same as the child named Guina, Skyler can say without hesitation that Guina is her student, but he and Sauron are the same. no.

Because... He Mihawk still needs some face, and Zoro didn't even officially call him a teacher or master. What if he said with a shy face that Zoro was his disciple, and Zoro didn't recognize him?

In addition to master and apprentice, Mihawk also had a hard time thinking of a word to describe the relationship between the two, so after a pause, he said again: "He was my swordsman training partner for the past two years when I was bored."

"Obviously he's already a stinky uncle, and he's still so arrogant... uh~"

As Perona said, Mihawk directly raised his hand and put it on top of her head, and then pressed it gently, Perona's whole face was twisted together, painful, but not so much as to exhale.

But... sparring with swordsmanship...

A green light of jealousy appeared in Cavendish's eyes, staring at Sauron. Sauron, who had originally fierce eyes, was startled by Cavendish's gaze at this time, and unconsciously took a half step back.

Sauron had never seen such a gaze, it was not like the enemies or beasts he had encountered before. At this time, Cavendish, the emotion in his eyes was something that Sauron did not understand.

At this time, Cavendish wanted to skin Sauron, and then put it on himself, so that he could also be Mihawk's swordsman sparring.

You know...that's Mr. Mihawk's swordsmanship sparring. If he can play a trick with Mr. Mihawk, it's probably enough for him to figure it out for a while.

Now, there is actually a person who has been able to enjoy this kind of treatment in the past two years. It's really... so enviable! envy! hatred!

Sauron, who was stared at the hair in his heart, couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword, facing Cavendish's twinkling green eyes, and said:

"Bastard! Are you looking to fight me?!"

"Fighting? Hahaha~ I would like to see, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, how powerful you can be!"

Cavendish also raised his hand and grabbed the hilt of Durandall's sword. In an instant, his eyes turned into circles, but there were blue circles on one side and golden circles on the other.

And it was stable in this state. Seeing this, Mihawk raised his eyebrows and nodded approvingly.

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, there was a slightly harsh sound of the door opening, interrupting the dispute between Zoro and Cavendish.

However, this tyrannical arrogance, although it caused the surrounding environment to change, it only accurately impacted the family of Zoro, Cavendish, Sanji, Abel, and Vinsmoke.

At this time, Mihawk looked at the Lord of Totland standing at the gate of the castle, nodded, and Katakuri also nodded in response, and then restrained the domineering look of the overlord and said:

"I hope you will remember that this is Totland."

When the words fell, everyone nodded involuntarily, even Abel, at this time, restrained his own flames and stopped speaking.
