Pirates: Kaido's brother Kaisa in the opening ghost island

Smoke curled up from the kitchen stove, and Shanks drooled out, staring at the rich food in front of him.

"(╯▽╰) It smells so good~~! Melk, you are so amazing! I never thought you could make such a delicious dish with both color and flavor!"

The stone table in front of him was filled with all kinds of meat.

Although the meat comes from a tiger.

But Melk has come up with dozens of flavors and dishes.

The simplest is the giant tiger ribs that are grilled to a crispy exterior and tender inside, with golden butter.

Fry, boil, stir-fry, cool, steam and roast.

Shanks' mouth was full of oil after eating, and he kept praising Melk inarticulately.

Two faint blushes appeared on Melk's face.

Suddenly, Shanks felt the top of his head grow dark.

Two murderous auras enveloped him.

Behind him, Dover and Akin, who had dark faces, stared at the laughing Shanks with unkind expressions.

"You value sex over friends, you are a solitary eater, you have red hair, I have seen through you..."

Ah Jin sat down on the right side of Shanks, squeezing him.

"Hmph! Red-haired, if Jin and I wake up after another hour, wouldn't we disturb your good things? I have to admire your ability. Some people say that you are a face person who ate the Superman face fruit. I used to think this was just to make fun of you, but now I kind of believe it."

Dover sat on the left side of Shanks, and Akin squeezed Shanks in the middle with a wry smile on his face.

Melk blinked his beautiful eyes and looked at Dover and Ajin who were too tall.

The two of them are now six meters tall due to taking the evolution potion.

Just sitting there is already as tall as a wall.

The giant tiger that Melk captured was as big as a house.

But under the swirling clouds of Dover and Ajin, even the bones disappeared in less than a moment.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays, what kind of meat is this? Miss sister, your cooking skills are also very first-rate! Unfortunately, there is no red wine. I miss Totlan's oolong tea drink."

Dover touched his swollen belly and lay on his back on the ground so comfortable that he moaned in comfort.

Suddenly, Ah Jin frowned and touched his shoulder.

Noticing the confusion on Akin's face, Shanks scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Jin stood up and felt it.

"I seem to have become a lot shorter, but... my physical strength has increased by about [-]%."

Dover put his hands behind his head.

"Is there anything strange about this? Haven't we discovered it a long time ago? The food here contains a lot of energy and can greatly enhance the physical strength."

Melk, who had been listening silently to the two of them, suddenly interrupted: "This is because your previous body shape was too exaggerated, the gaps between muscles and bones were too large, and the density was too small. The fanged tiger is a beast with a capture level of 27 , its meat can effectively improve people’s physique and enhance physical strength.”

Dover heard this and sat up.

"Capture level? What's that?"

"It refers to the difficulty of obtaining ingredients, which is evaluated by international food institutions. It usually refers to the combat effectiveness of the ingredient, such as the fanged tiger you just ate. But it is not fair, because not all ingredients can be judged by combat effectiveness standards. Measured.”

Shanks blinked: "But, in the past month, we have actually eaten a lot of similar beasts, but the increase in physical strength, all added up, is not as much as the increase this time? Is it you? When cooking, what medicinal ingredients are added?"

"Haha, this is the uniqueness of gourmet cooking. Although I am not very good at food cooking, I still have the basic skills. If the energy contained in the ingredients itself is regarded as a unit, then a senior cook can convert this unit into 1 The energy of the cooking unit is 1, and the top cook is 1.5. And the legendary divine cook can turn decay into magic and cook the most common ingredients into food treasures!"

"Furthermore, the properties of cooked ingredients will be infinitely amplified and can be better absorbed by the human body. It seems to me that you have not awakened your gourmet cells yet. If you awaken your gourmet cells, the physical strength that can be enhanced will be even higher."

Melk talked so eloquently that the hearts of the three Shanks were beating fast and their eyes were shining.

"Gourmet cells? Can you tell us how to awaken this kind of thing? You just knew that we are not from your place, can we also awaken gourmet cells?"

Shanks couldn't help but swallow.

If what Melk said is true, then the key point where he has been stuck at the peak of C-level for several years and cannot break through may be these so-called gourmet cells!

Caesar once told him that the physical body is the foundation that carries the laws.

If there is no strong body as a container, no matter how strong the law is, it will not be able to break through the bottleneck.

If the human body is compared to a bottle, then the power of law is the water in the bottle.

If you want to become powerful, you must either make the bottle bigger, like Caesar himself, Kunpeng's real body is thousands of miles long.

Either the water inside is compressed.

But even if it can be compressed, the bottle itself needs to be hard enough.

This is physical strength.

After ten years of fighting and hard training, Shanks' current physical strength has become extremely powerful.

But on Aquamarine, it still doesn’t rank among the top three.

The first is Caesar, and he deserves it. Even Im, who had a chaotic physique, was tortured to death by Caesar with his pure physical body.

The second is Charlotte Lingling, who was born with a steel balloon and a special physique.Coupled with being nourished by Caesar every day and using the power of creation and Kunpeng's essence and blood to open a small stove, her body is so powerful that it is terrifying.

Third Kaido, needless to say, Caesar's younger brother, was also targeted.

Fourth, there is Shanks today.

Thinking of this, Shanks couldn't help but feel a sour taste in his heart.

Why am I not Caesar’s brother or something?

If you can hug that monster's thigh tightly, it seems that being a Barbarossa Shanks is not a shameful thing.

He shook his head and threw away the messy thoughts in his mind.

Shanks took a deep breath, and under the dull look of Melk's beautiful eyes, a smile of a good, mature man bloomed on his face, and his hands suddenly grasped the other's jade hand, which was like gelatin.

I have to say that Shanks's appearance is still okay.

His burgundy hair made him very eye-catching.

The scars on his eyes not only did not ruin his handsome image, but instead added a tough guy temperament to him.

Coupled with the composure cultivated by holding high positions for many years, as well as his own charming personality, he was even dubbed as the owner of the fruit of face.

As a result, Shanks today is no less charming than Rayleigh back then.

Such a good-looking, good-tempered, mature and steady uncle is extremely lethal to a girl who has lived in the mountains for a long time and is not familiar with the world.

Melk only remained reserved for a few seconds before completely falling into Shanks' 'hue'.

A few hours later, Dover and Ah Jin looked at the two people in front of them with strange eyes.

Under Shanks' sugar-coated bombs, Melk has agreed to take them to hunt prey that suits their physical characteristics to awaken their gourmet cells.

Not only that, this superb swordsmith also promised to help them make weapons.

Dover touched his cheek, looked at Ajin, and spit on the ground fiercely.

"Shanks, I quite liked you..."
