Pirate: Eternal

Half an hour can't make a rich meal at all. Excluding the time for washing, chopping and heating the pot, the remaining time is basically just enough time to stir-fry a side dish.

However, high-end cooking showdowns only require the simplest methods, and the simpler the dishes, the higher the requirements for cooking skills.

Vlad glanced at the ingredients in the kitchen and frowned slightly.

The meat is basically Neptune meat or fish, and the vegetables are quite complete. Unfortunately, he originally wanted to stir-fry twice-cooked pork, but Neptune and fish meat are not fat.

I had no choice but to pick up a huge piece of Neptune thigh meat, cut it into long slices as big as a palm, and set them aside after cutting.

Seeing that there was chili sauce in the condiment, Vlad dipped a little in and tasted it. It tasted pretty good, but the aroma in his mouth was not strong enough.

Vlad poured the chili sauce into a mixing bowl, added sesame seeds and honey to the original base, and then chopped a small amount of green pepper into powder and mixed them together.

After the seasoning was ready, Vlad heated the pot over low heat, then poured a small amount of oil into it. After the oil was warm, he poured the minced ginger and garlic into the pot.

Although the meat of Neptune is similar to beef on land, as a marine creature, it still has a fishy smell. Mixing the ginger and garlic juice in the oil will remove the fishy smell when frying the meat.

After the minced ginger and garlic became darker in color, Vlad took the pot and used a strainer to separate the minced ginger and garlic from the oil, then slightly increased the heat and poured the oil into the pot.

After the oil started to smoke, Vlad spread the meat piece by piece into the pot and kept turning the meat piece over with a spatula.

The meat slices were about one centimeter thick and were cooked quickly. Vlad put the meat on a plate and brushed it with chili sauce, then minced the ear root and rolled it up with the meat slices.

After Vlad finished, he found that Sachi had finished early and was waiting for him. He was very surprised by the way he used the meat slices to curl the ears.

The portions the two of them made were not large, and certainly not enough for everyone present to taste, so they had to let a few division captains serve as judges.

The squad captains were the first to flock to Vlad's side. They knew Sachi's cooking skills very well, and they were now curious about this newcomer.

'Don't judge me as the winner! '

Seeing the captains put the meat rolls into their mouths, Vlad's heart began to beat.

Although he challenged Saqi from the very beginning and even added glory to the duel, Sachi was the person he most wanted to get close to and have a good relationship with.

This is like chasing a woman. If you just wag your tail to please, you have already put yourself in an unequal position with the other person. In this kind of relationship, it is difficult for the other person to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you.

Just like the Golden Lion can break into the Navy Headquarters Marineford for Roger, but will he attack the Navy Headquarters for his pirates?

The so-called confidant often requires that both parties have equal identities.

But now, Vlad has brought his identity to the same level as Thatch through the challenge, and he will lose face again so that Thatch will not lose face in front of everyone.

It also laid the foundation for future discussions with Saatchi about cooking skills. The best way to cultivate a relationship is to delve into the other person's hobbies.

'Hey hey!Aren’t you?This expression...'

After the meat rolls entered their mouths, the captains chewed them carefully, enjoying the crispness of the ear root and the toughness of the meat, the slight sweetness of honey and the pungency of fresh green peppers.

Their satisfied expressions made Vlad start to panic. He didn't even consider winning in his plan. What if he lost face and held a grudge against Sachi?

Although Vlad remembered that Ace and others said in the anime that Thatch was a good person, but what if Thatch was just pretending like him?

Vlad has always tried to figure out everyone's humanity with the greatest malice.

He believes that human nature is inherently evil!

'To strike first is to gain strength, but to strike later is to suffer disaster. '

Vlad's eyes flashed, and he immediately scooped up the seafood fried rice made by Sage with a spoon, and immediately looked intoxicated after eating it.

"This... the feeling on the tip of your tongue, is this an explosion of taste buds?! It's so delicious!"

After being intoxicated, Vlad showed an emotional expression of unwillingness, depression, and disappointment.

"I lost."

As he spoke, Vlad clenched his knuckles with his fists until they turned white, and looked at Thatch with unyielding eyes.

"I am defeated this time, but I will not give up my throne as the Chef King!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left the kitchen without giving anyone a chance to refute.

Marco looked at his leaving back, blinked and said, "Why did he just give up? I still want to vote for him!"

"Yes!" Ace nodded, "This is the first time I've seen such a novel dish. It's perfect as a side dish for drinks!"

After listening to their comments, Sachi also picked up a piece of meat roll and put it in his mouth, savored it carefully and nodded in approval.

"It should be considered a tie this time. His ideas on the dishes are good, but his control over the heat and seasonings needs to be improved."

Saatchi also has his own arrogance in the field he is good at. In fact, he suffered a big loss this time.

Saatchi's cooking skills focus on Western-style baking. This duel was decided in half an hour, and he didn't have time to make the food he was good at.

However, I have already recognized Vlad in my heart. This is an opponent who has his own ideas!

------

After the Whitebeard Pirates stayed on the island for a few days, they began to wander aimlessly on the sea again.

In the days that followed, Vlad naturally entered the kitchen of the Moby-Dick under the pretext that he was willing to admit defeat, and chatted with him while helping Sage.

He and Ozma were naturally assigned to the fourth team.

"Captain Thatch, can you make me a cherry pie?"

Just as Vlad was offering some oriental health porridge to Saki, a rough voice interrupted him.

Looking around, I saw a dark, fat guy with curly hair wrapped in a black scarf walking over.

'Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach! '

Vlad secretly called out the other party's name in his heart. This was his biggest competitor for obtaining the Dark Fruit.

He immediately stepped forward, stopped the other party with a frown, and scolded: "How many days have you not taken a shower? Don't come to the kitchen with germs. Just shout outside when you want to eat."

This move was to deepen Vlad's character in Thatch's heart.

"Hehehe." Tiqi smiled honestly, "Sorry, I will pay more attention."

With that said, he turned around and walked back to the kitchen door, shouting: "Captain Sage, I want to eat cherry pie."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Sachi responded and began to wash his hands and prepare to knead the dough.

Vlad stepped forward to stop him and said with a smile: "Captain Sage, let me do it. I have never been exposed to how to make cherry pie!"

Sachi pondered for a long time, then nodded in agreement.

"Tiqi likes cherry pie very much. You can ask him to give you a review when the time comes."
