Pirate's Swordsman

"Yeah, I didn't fall asleep much, but I almost had enough rest."

Xia Nuo didn't notice the change in his expression and responded with a smile. After glancing at the scene in the kitchen and chatting with Karl for a few more words, the two passed by each other. He went straight to the sink, turned on the faucet, and started washing his hands.

"Why, the brat didn't work hard enough in the past two days? He still has the energy to come over and help?"

Just as Zhepu put the steak on hand into the pot, he heard the sound of water rushing. He turned his head, glanced at Xia Nuo, and snorted.

"Well, I'm a little tired, but there are guests here. Since I'm already awake, I can't just stand aside and watch the fun."

Xia Nuo smiled, shook off the water on his hand, then casually took over Karl's previous position next to him, and began to put the dessert on the plate, "Besides, now I am the head chef of the restaurant..."

Zhepu clicked his tongue and said nothing more. He turned around and started frying the steak. His movements were extremely skillful. He stir-fried lightly from time to time. The tender yellow beef gradually gained a strong aroma in the pot, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the third level. of heat.

After taking out the steak, he bent down and opened the drawer under the stove. Zhepu fumbled around for a while before digging out the spray gun. Just when he was about to open the grilled steak, Xia Nuo's voice sounded again:

"I said, old man..."

"Huh?" Zhepu turned to look at him doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

Xia Nuo did not answer, but glanced at Paddy, who had his back turned, and then tilted his head.

Zhepun immediately understood what he meant. After frowning and pondering for a moment, he called out in a deep voice: "Paddy!"

At the other end of the kitchen, Paddy was humming a tune and preparing sauces. When he was suddenly called, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and stood up straight with a "pop" sound, "Here, boss!" "

"There are a lot of candles. Karl probably won't be able to handle the work alone. You should go along and decorate the lobby early, and then come back."

"Yes, boss!"

Paddy agreed to Zhepu's order without any hesitation. After giving a sharp salute, he took off his chef's hat, strode out of the kitchen, and hurried toward the stairs.

When Paddy's back was gone, Zhepp turned around, glared at Xia Nuo angrily, and said, "Tell me, what happened? It's so mysterious that I have to get him away." Come and talk about it later?”

"Well, there is indeed something."

Xia Nuo nodded. It wasn't that he was worried about Pedikkar, but it was because the two funny men were a bit reckless and could easily cause problems. He avoided them during the discussion to avoid any possible trouble.

He and Zhepu were the only two people in the kitchen now, so he directly described what he just heard at the stern of the boat without any further explanation.

result……

The next moment, Zhepu's reaction made him stunned.

"Damn things!"

With a muffled sound of "bang", an old and powerful right hand slammed on the table, shaking the plate next to it. Zhepu looked furious and roared: "How dare you do such a thing in my restaurant? What do you think of the dinner that I worked so hard for? It is absolutely unforgivable to waste food!"

"Zhoucao, the focus is almost on shampoo..."

Zhepu's roar made Xia Nuo stunned for a while. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and his whole face was filled with an expression of wanting to complain but not knowing where to start.

Ya'er, when he approached Zhepu, he originally wanted to discuss with the subordinates to ignore this matter. After all, it seemed to involve seeking money and killing people. But now it seems that this old man only cares about the food he made being rejected. Being wasted and not caring about anything else!

Well……

Xia Nuo silently raised his eyes. Speaking of which, if he had not intervened, then according to the trajectory of the original work, it is estimated that Arrita, who is still the daughter of a wealthy businessman, would have exploded after being persecuted by that young master Ke Ze? Then his temperament changed drastically, he went out to sea in a rage, burned, killed and looted, embarking on the path of no return as a pirate?

After all, in retrospect, in the setting of the original work, Arrita was born with divine power. With Keze's small body, he couldn't withstand this person's anger when he was caught off guard, right?

"So, old man..."

After being silent for a while, Xia Nuo still looked at Zhepu, who was still angry, and said with some pain: "Even if it is to avoid wasting food, how do you plan to deal with this kind of thing?"

"What else can you do? If you dare to play these tricks in my restaurant, you will no longer be a guest of the restaurant. You can go to the second floor now and let Pedikkar come back. There is no need to arrange a candlelight dinner."

Zhepu looked around and prepared most of the ingredients. He seemed a little reluctant to part with it. After a while, he snorted coldly and said, "As for that boy from the Bright family, I will kick him into the sea myself. This will make it worth my while to be busy!"

"and many more……"

Xia Nuo was shocked. One second, the old man was still paying attention to the food, but the next second he gave complete solution steps, "Is it so rude and direct? Don't you worry about the Bright family, run away?" Come here for revenge or something?”

"Revenge? I'm so scared!"

Zhepu glared at him angrily, "A family that actually relies on marriage with the nouveau riche to make up for its lack of wealth. No matter how noble and ancient it is, how strong can it be? It's just half of the Plos family. "

"that's true……"

Xia Nuo pursed his lips. How could he have forgotten that the man in front of him was a powerful figure in the Grand Line? What kind of world has he not seen before? How could a small family in a place like the East China Sea threaten him?

"but."

As if he had just remembered something, Zhepu looked towards the direction of the lobby, pondered for a moment, and frowned: "I didn't expect that there is such a thing as the Dream Fruit in the East China Sea. It's really unexpected."

Glancing at Xia Nuo, his eyes became a little deeper:

"Well, in this case, we can't be so direct. We have to come up with a countermeasure..."

…………

As night falls, the boundless sea is pitch black, with the occasional waning moon and sparse stars casting a faint, lonely clear glow.

In this case, the Barati Restaurant, surrounded by warm candlelight, suddenly became much more conspicuous in the night-filled sea. Even the fish in the sea swam in the sparkling waves illuminated by the candlelight. Come, gradually gathered around the floating platform.

In the lobby, in the shadow of candlelight, Keze, who was dressed in a white formal suit, was sitting opposite Alita. On the table, there was an unopened bottle of aperitif red wine and two clear glass goblets.
