Chapter 320 The man who clocked in and got off work(1/2)
"Alas...it really doesn't make people worry about it right from the start."
Not long after Luffy and others left by boat, a lazy figure rode a bicycle to the sea restaurant Barati.
At this time, there was no one in the entire restaurant, and the chefs were all doing carpentry work, tinkering with the entire restaurant, trying to save it.
"Dingling bell~"
"It seems I came at the wrong time!"
Following the sound of the doorbell, the tall and lazy figure walked into the restaurant, which clearly had a closed sign outside, and then casually sat down on a seat and read the menu.
"Sorry for this customer, we have suspended business today!"
A chef looked at the man whose shadow was gradually setting as the sun set over the roof, and shook his head helplessly. With a business-like smile on his face, he walked up to the man and said.
"Then! I'll just have a glass of orange juice!"
However, the guest seemed to have not heard the chef's words and kept talking to himself.
"Uh! Maybe you didn't understand what I said. I said our store has stopped operating."
The chef suppressed the anger in his heart and lectured the evil guest in front of him.
"So I just want a glass of orange juice! Brother, is this not too much? I already understand you, and I am really thirsty. I have been riding on the sea for a long time!"
The lazy figure smiled at the chef and spoke kindly.
"So didn't you understand? We are closed! There is no more orange juice! Now please leave here immediately!"
The chef was obviously angry with the man in front of him, and he yelled at the man loudly.
"Alas...is that so? That's really a pity!"
The man scratched his own back helplessly, but he didn't seem to want to leave at all.
"you……"
The chef was so mad at the man that he even planned to take action directly.
"That little brother! If I were you, I wouldn't think of doing anything to me."
The man looked at the chef who was about to punch him and reminded him kindly.
"you……"
The chef didn't know what to say.
"Go get him some orange juice!"
Just when the chef didn't know what to do, a voice full of vicissitudes suddenly sounded behind him.
"Okay! Chef Zep!"
The chef looked at the people coming behind him, Lianman nodded, glared at the tall man who came uninvited, and walked into the kitchen.
"Today really surprised me. Big shots that I would never normally meet appeared in my shabby restaurant one after another."
Red-footed Zhepu limped up to the tall man, found a chair and sat on it.
"Red-footed Zep? I didn't expect that the famous pirate would actually come here to live in seclusion and work as a chef!"
The man looked at the red-footed Zhepu and told him his roots.
"So you are here to arrest me? The current navy admiral! Aoki Kuzan!"
Red-footed Zhepu read out the identity of the person in front of him word by word.
That's right! The frail-looking man sitting opposite Zhepu at the moment is the navy's most powerful combatant, the navy admiral Kuzan, codenamed Aoki.
"Alas... you misunderstood. I won't do such troublesome things. As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't bother to catch you."
Kuzan shook his head slightly at Zhepu. If it was Sakaski who came, Zhepu in front of him would probably be dead. Unfortunately, he was not that energetic guy.
"Oh? Then may I ask, General, what are you here for? Is it really just to drink a glass of orange juice?"
Zhepu blinked at Kuzan and asked softly.
In fact, Zhepu certainly knew that Kuzan was not here to arrest him. Even if he had not retreated, it would not be the navy's turn to make such a big move and send a general to arrest him, let alone today when he has already retreated.
There should be only one purpose for coming here, and that is to deal with the girl who kindly gave him money to repair the roof of the restaurant.
"Haha! You should know! Yamato must have been here before, right? Is she super strong? After all, she is the daughter of Kaido, one of the four emperors of the New World, who is called the strongest creature!"
Kuzan smiled at Zhepu and said half-jokingly.
"Yonko Kaido's daughter?!"
Zhepu was shocked after hearing Kuzan's words, but it's fair to think about it. Only the daughter of a monster can have the strength of such a monster at such a young age, because she is a born monster!
"Oh! That's bad! I spilled the beans! In this case, Mr. Zhepu will keep the secret for me, right?"
Kuzan said it was bad, but he didn't look like he deliberately let it slip. It was more like he said it on purpose.
"certainly……"
Zhepu knew that he had no choice. This was the admiral's request and he had no choice but to comply.
"That's good……"
Kuzan nodded to Zhepu and quietly waited for the orange juice.
Not long after, the chef from before came over with a full bucket of orange juice, his eyes filled with amusement.
"Your orange juice is here!"
The chef handed the half-ton orange juice to Kuzan. He wanted to see how the bastard drank it.
"thank you!"
"Tons, tons, tons, tons..."
Then he saw an unforgettable scene. The man actually lifted the half-ton bucket and drank the orange juice in it.
"Hiccup~"
"Goodbye, everyone! Remember that I have been here and keep secrets."
After Kuzan finished drinking the juice, he waved to the chef and Zhepu, turned around and left the restaurant.
"What does this mean? Is it really just for a glass of orange juice?"
Zhepu looked at Kuzan, who had not asked him for any information about Yamato, and was lost in thought. He suspected that he had unknowingly fallen into the opponent's trap and exposed Yamato's whereabouts.
"well……"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhepu sighed, leaving the confused chef behind and returned to the kitchen.
On the other side, Kuzan, whose motive had been guessed by Zhepu for a long time, was riding a bicycle quickly towards the nearest navy branch.
"Opening completed! Ready to get off work..."
Yes, Kuzan came to the Sea Restaurant just because he was thirsty and wanted to get a free drink. By the way, he asked Zhepu to certify that he was not neglecting his job and that he came to work properly to investigate Yamato's movements.
But it was getting dark now, so he had to find a place to stay overnight.
Yes, this time Zhepu thought that Kuzan was on the level above him, but who knew that Kuzan had actually flown out of the atmosphere and was side by side with the sun.
As for his duty as a general, fighting Yamato for justice...let him be spared! It is impossible for a man like him who upholds laziness and justice to provoke Kaido's daughter. The life of such a person is too tiring.
However, although he didn't hit the water every day like Sakaski, he didn't paddle as openly as Porusalino, right? Overall, his performance was pretty good.
If Porusalino was asked to carry out the mission, he would probably have gone to the navy branch to have tea...
"Is this a map of the East China Sea?"
After Musashi had a fierce battle with Ace and successfully won, she studied the map of the East China Sea. She tried to decipher the location of Zoro's hometown through the map, and went to have a good meeting with Koushiro Shigetsuki.
"I advise you to give up! You don't even have any information about the other party's hometown. If you can find it just by looking at the map, you're in trouble!"
Ace had a few band-aids on his face, which was evidence of his fight with Musashi. He sat idly beside Musashi, yawning constantly.
To be honest, he really felt that Musashi's brain circuit was quite capable. Without any information, it was simply a fantasy to rely on the map of the East China Sea to guess Zoro's hometown and then find the person she was looking for.
…
Rather than using this method, it is better to go to the market and find out where Sauron, who is known to be famous in the East China Sea and has been a bounty hunter, first appeared. By using this method, there is a great chance of being able to locate the opponent's hometown.
.
"Ah! I found it! You can't go wrong!"
Musashi pointed to a very hidden black spot on the map and shouted loudly.
"ha?"
"are you kidding me?"
Ace looked at Musashi in disbelief. He felt that Musashi was just talking nonsense to him. To be honest, if Musashi really found the person Musashi was looking for in the vast sea through a map, then that would be
What a hell.
“Here! You can’t go wrong!”
Facing Ace's doubts, Musashi smiled slightly. She was full of confidence in her judgment.
To be continued...
