The gourmet among pirates

After Ace left.

Molin sat back in his seat and thought for a moment.

He stood up and came to the window, looking at the increasingly prosperous New Rogge Town not far from the Final Fortress, and murmured in a low voice.

"The power of the will of all living beings... the human heart..."

···············

After confirming the itinerary for the trip to the South China Sea.

Molin and Ace did not stay in the Fortress for long. The next day, after filling the ship with supplies, Molin and the others left the Fortress on a fast boat.

Because this trip, Maureen was taking Ace to the South China Sea to pay homage to his mother, "Portcas D. Lujiu".

This matter is a private matter and involves the Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

Therefore, Mo Lin did not travel on a naval warship this time.

When one's strength reaches Molin's level, it doesn't matter what level of battleship he travels on, it's almost the same.

After all, at their level, when they travel, it is not the battleships with powerful firepower that protect them, but them protecting the battleships.

In the past, the only reason why Mo Lin took a large warship out every time was because the large warship was large enough to help him store more food.

now.

With the power of faith, Molin's daily food intake has been greatly reduced, so the size requirements for the ship are no longer so high.

Therefore, in the end, Mo Lin simply changed to a medium-sized speedboat that he purchased privately and modified to go out to sea.

·······························································

Two days later

Crossing Upside Down Mountain.

After entering the great channel, Mo Lin was leaning on the side of the ship, enjoying the sea breeze comfortably.

From time to time, Morin would also give guidance to Ace who was practicing on the deck.

Da da da!

Accompanied by a burst of cheerful footsteps, Taoyao walked out of the cabin carrying a large fragrant honey cake.

"call!"

After placing the big cake safely on the table on the deck of the house, Taoyao patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then turning around, Taoyao greeted Mo Lin.

"Molin, I made a honey cake today. You, a famous chef in the East China Sea, would like to show you some respect. Come over and help me correct it."

After saying that, Taoyao turned her head and said to Ace, who had a bitter look on her face and was exhausted by Mo Lin's extra training: "Little Ace, stop first, eat some cake, and make up for it before continuing. Practice, otherwise if you continue to practice, the energy consumed by your body will not keep up with the consumption."

Taoyao just finished speaking.

Nicole Robin, dressed in long black straight clothes, also walked out of the cabin.

Holding four large cups of iced black tea, he said with a smile: "I also made iced black tea! You can drink some."

"what!"

Ace, who was sweating on the side, saw the big cake that had just been baked and the fragrant aroma, and the iced black tea that had been chilled, and his mouth began to salivate crazily.

Followed by.

There was a thunderous gurgling sound in Ace's stomach.

"teacher·······"

Seeing Ace looking at her pitifully, Maureen said angrily: "If you want to eat, just go and eat. Why are you watching me?"

"Oh, thank you, teacher!"

After receiving Molin's permission, Ace cheered and flew to Robin's side.

He reached out and reached for the large cup of iced black tea that was cold and delicious.

"Gulu gulu gulu..."

After gulping down a large glass of iced black tea, Ace let out a long sigh of relief.

"...Finally survived."

After burping with satisfaction, Ace thanked Robin: "Thank you, sister Robin, for the ice tea, otherwise I would have died of thirst."

"Well, thank you too, Sister Taoyao. I can't wait to taste Sister Taoyao's craftsmanship."

Seeing Ace who was not offending anyone, Tao Yao laughed, then cut a large portion of the cake, handed it to Ace's hand, and scolded with a smile: "You little sycophant, eat it quickly!"

At this time.

Mo Lin also walked over and took a cake that had been prepared from Taoyao.

Pick up a spoon and scoop a piece of honey-filled cream cake into your mouth.

The sweetness of honey and the rich aroma of cream were perfectly mixed together, and the sweet taste burst out in Molin's mouth.

It seemed that every taste bud of Molin was blooming with a sweet taste. As soon as her upper and lower jaws closed slightly, the cake melted in Molin's mouth and flowed down her throat into her stomach.

The silky smooth and tender sweet taste can be said to melt in your mouth and leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth.

Feeling the beauty of the cake blooming in her taste buds, Maureen unconsciously speeded up her eating.

Then a large piece of cake filled a dinner plate and disappeared into Molin's mouth at an incredible speed.

After tasting the sweet honey cake.

Mo Lin leaned on the chair nearby with a contented look on his face.

He narrowed his eyes comfortably, showing an expression of enjoyment.

After finishing the cake on his plate, Maureen picked up the knife and cut the big cake in front of him.

After putting the cake on her plate, Molin quickly ate the rest of the cake into her stomach.

The good times seemed to be very short. Molin felt as if a large piece of cake disappeared from her mouth before she took a few bites.

····································

After eating the honey cake, Maureen picked up the black tea handed over by Robin. While drinking it, she commented: "This honey cake tastes unexpectedly good. You added orange juice to the cake to enhance the flavor. The addition of orange juice neutralizes the sweetness of the honey cake a lot."

"Then I also used grass to bake the whole cake, so that the whole cake still has a hint of grass. In terms of innovation, this is a very good idea. With your level, if you have time to participate in the food competition , Not to mention a special chef, how can I pass the exam to become a senior chef?"

After praising it, Maureen pointed out the flaws of this honey cake.

"However, this time you added too much orange juice to the baking. Although this diluted the greasy taste of the honey cake a lot, it also made the honey cake lose its distinctive aroma. I personally feel that if you try it next time When making this cake, add one-third less orange juice and it will taste better.”

Taoyao on the side, after remembering this, quickly controlled a peach tree at a position behind it, and recorded it on a wooden board.

"Could you add a third less orange juice?"

After seeing Mo Lin nod, Taoyao nodded thoughtfully.

As early as when Mo Lin was brought into the navy, Taoyao discovered Mo Lin's huge appetite and quietly learned to cook.

To be honest, Taoyao's talent as a chef is quite good.

In just a few years, Taoyao taught herself a good set of cooking skills.

Although not as good as those Donghai famous chefs and special chefs who participated in the food competition.

But he is also a real high-end chef.

His cooking skills are much better than most people.

After making a comment, Mo Lin said to Taoyao and Robin, "You guys should also sit down. Next, we will eat slowly."

Since gaining the power of faith, Maureen is no longer so eager for food.

Because of this, he now has the leisure to taste the delicious food slowly, which would have been the case before.

If there was such a big cake, Molin wouldn't even give it a chance to enter Ace's mouth and just eat it in one gulp.

But now.

I can enjoy some delicious food once in a while.

This feeling, for Maureen, was simply wonderful.

·····························

While eating, Mo Lin, Taoyao and Robin sat under the umbrella and chatted slowly.

Mo Lin never hid Ace's matter from Taoyao and Robin.

Therefore, after Taoyao learned about Portcas D. Lujiu's deeds this time, she also planned to worship this strange woman full of maternal glory with Mo Lin.

(Well, as for how much Tao Yao wants to meet this ‘love rival’ she has never met before, Mo Lin doesn’t know.)

Anyway, after bringing out a group of disciples, Taoyao has been doing nothing at the Final Fortress recently.

Simply, she simply regarded this appearance as a trip for her and Mo Lin and went out directly.

As for Nicole Robin, she was just along for the ride.

After Maureen sends her to Aska Island, Robin will leave the speedboat and go to Aska Island, which is full of ancient ruins and full of history, for archaeology.

Afterwards, Mo Lin and the others will take a small path from the windless zone into the South China Sea and head to Badelila Island.

･･････････

After eating the cake, Ace trudged to the bow of the ship and continued training.

For this apprentice who dared to choreograph himself, Mo Lin had to let him improve his memory.

·······························

night time.

The speedboat that Maureen and the others were on.

We happened to pass by the small island known as the "Little Garden".

to be frank.

Maureen was not very interested in the two giants on the island.

So.

Originally there was a permanent pointer leading directly to Morin on Aska Island.

Didn't intend to stop at the "little garden".

but.

Under the consumption of Ace, who was hungry, and Mo Lin, whose appetite was still much higher than that of ordinary people, in just a few days, all the meat and vegetables, one of the staple foods, on the speedboat that Mo Lin and the others were on were consumed. about there.

Therefore, Molin had to enter the "small garden" overnight to hunt large carnivorous beasts to replenish the consumption on the ship.

Before entering the small garden, Taoyao specially took a bottle of her special mosquito repellent and sprayed it on Mo Lin.

"I heard from Grandpa Kurokas that many of the creatures in the small garden are ancient species left over from ancient times. The bodies of these ancient races contain viruses that do not belong to our era."

"So, before going to the island, you must do a good job of repelling mosquitoes. Otherwise, you may be bitten by a mosquito in the 'small garden', and the consequences are no joke!"

After spraying mosquito repellent.

Maureen took Ace directly into the dense forest of the "Little Garden".

····························

Walking in the dark night where I can't see my fingers.

Ace condensed a ball of fire in his hand and used it as a torch to light the way ahead for them.

As he walked, Ace looked at the grove that was completely different from what he usually saw, and asked a little strangely: "Teacher, are there really giants on this island?"

Maureen nodded: "Of course."

"Really? Teacher. Speaking of which, I have never seen what giants look like? Are they really all tens of meters tall?" Ace said excitedly.

I don't know if it was because of his relaxed personality. Under Molin's words and deeds, although Ace gave up the idea of ​​going to sea to become a pirate, he was still full of strong curiosity about many things.

Just like the two giants in the "Little Garden" that he had never seen before.

Moreover, Ace was also very interested in the "little garden" filled with ancient creatures that Kurokas mentioned.

Although Ace learned from some information about the Navy that there were many special races living in the Grand Line, Ace had never seen them with his own eyes.

After all, giants, a race that often appears in legends, are born with some mysterious powers of attraction.

...

"This!" Facing Ace's doubts, Molin said with some uncertainty, "As far as I know, the average giant race seems to be only ten meters tall. Those who can approach twenty meters are already giants. The elite among the clan."

"But it is said that the 'huge battleship' San Juan Wolf imprisoned in Impel Down City seems to be 180cm tall. Now he is already a general under the Yonko Barrett. When your strength is further improved, there will be If you have the chance, I can take you to see that person and chop off his head by the way."

"Hiss, one hundred and eighty meters."

Upon hearing this, Ace took a deep breath.

For normal people, a height of two meters is already considered tall, but compared to 180 meters, what is the difference between that and a hill?

"By the way, teacher, I heard that the two giants in the small garden, who were once captains of the Giant Pirates, were both criminals with bounties on their heads. Do we want to arrest them?"

After Molin glanced at Ace, he simply said: "Why do you want to arrest them? You can see the information of these two giants in the naval system. Don't the Navy Headquarters and the World Government know that there are two giants hidden here? Clan?"

"But aren't they criminals with a bounty on them? Why don't the Navy and the World Government arrest them?" Ace asked with some confusion.
