People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

Angel Island, in a laboratory of a certain research institute.

Reijiu, who was wearing a white short skirt and a white lab coat, stood beside an experimental table with a microscope in front of her. She lowered her head slightly and carefully observed a blood sample under the magnification effect of the microscope.

Suddenly!

A pair of strong arms gently hugged her slender waist.

Reiju had already sensed the breath and instantly identified who the person was, so she did not resist, but continued to look at the blood samples.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her right earlobe being taken into his mouth, licked and bitten gently, which made her body tremble slightly.

In desperation, Reijiu had no choice but to turn around, raise her hands, and wrap her arms around Sephiroth's neck. She said with a smile:

"Do you want to do it in the lab today?"

"Yeah! As for the laboratory...it seems to be pretty good too!

However, lunch time is coming soon, how about I invite you to have a meal and make an appointment first? "

Sephiroth chuckled, raised his right hand, and gently touched the fair and delicate face of the woman in his arms.

“A date alone between two people?

This is really rare! "Reijiu said with a slightly teasing tone.

In the past, Sephiroth had not dated her alone, but the frequency was not high, only once every month or two.

Most of the time, Sephiroth was playing with a group of girls, and it was difficult to get along alone.

In response to Reiju's teasing, Sephiroth didn't blush or breath, and was very calm. He continued to smile and said:

"Yes! We're dating alone. I wonder if you can give me some face, pretty girl."

"Then where are you going?"

“How about going to Barati, a famous sea restaurant in the East China Sea?

I stopped by to visit your long-lost brother. "

"You're talking about Sanji...!?

where is he? "Leijiu said in surprise.

"He is now working as the sous chef at the sea restaurant Barati."

"Hearing what you said, I really want to try it. The quality of the sea restaurant Barati..." Reijiu said with great interest.

………………

East China Sea.

Sephiroth and Reiju were sitting on a speedboat made of a special alloy, and they quickly headed towards a giant ketch with a three-story cabin not far away.

The shape of the sailboat resembles a big green fish, with a fish head at the bow and a fish tail at the stern. There are also two huge deck platforms spread out on both sides of the hull, with dining tables placed on them, full of people. Dining guests.

This giant sailing ship anchored at sea is the famous sea restaurant in the East China Sea...Bharati!

The owner and chef of the restaurant is named Zhepu. He was a notorious pirate a long time ago and was extremely good at kicking. Because his kicks would splatter five feet of blood, and his feet were often covered in blood, so he was Known as "Red-footed" Zhepu.

However, when he returned to the East China Sea after a year of sailing on the Great Channel, he lost his right foot due to a shipwreck. In desperation, he had no choice but to retire and established the famous maritime restaurant Barati in the East China Sea. .

Nine years ago, when Zhepu returned to the East China Sea, the bounty was only [-] million beli, and he was a pirate who was not very famous.

If he lives honestly for a year or two and doesn't cause trouble, basically no one except the navy will know who he is. And the navy's attitude towards young pirates is generally that if the other party does not commit crimes for a long time, most of them will take Turn a blind eye attitude.

After all, there are too many people who are pirates in this era. If we pursue those small characters who choose to retire, not to mention that it will make those small pirates who are forced to join the more powerful pirates. The pirate group has contributed to the growth of pirate power, and the navy's own strength will have to be doubled several times before it can barely keep up.

Therefore, with the tacit approval of the navy, Zhepu was able to safely open a restaurant and run his own small business in the East China Sea.

Soon, Sephiroth docked his speedboat at the area designated for berthing boats in Barati Restaurant.

He casually glanced at the moored ships and saw the Merry docked nearby. On the deck of the ship, Zoro was sleeping soundly, while Usopp was sitting cross-legged, lowering his head and playing with the bottle in his hand. Can Guan seemed to be arranging something, but Luffy was not seen.

At the door of the Barati restaurant, a bearded man with short hair, a fierce face, and a white apron came up to him with a smile after seeing Sephiroth and Reiju walking onto the ship's deck:

"Can you two make a reservation?

If not, you will need to wait in line.

After all, it’s fully booked now…”

“Of course there are reservations!

My name is Sephiroth, and I rented the second floor of your Barati restaurant..." Sephiroth explained with a smile.

Hearing this, the bearded man quickly nodded and bowed, making an inviting gesture towards the two of them.

"Ah! It turns out it's you, the distinguished guest. Please come inside! Please come inside!"

The reason why today's Barati Restaurant opens the ship decks on both sides for business is because the entire second floor of the restaurant has been taken over. As a result, Zhepu can only open the two sides that are usually opened for fighting. Deck to entertain other guests.

Soon, led by the bearded man, Sephiroth and Reiju walked along the spiral staircase to the second floor of the restaurant and sat down at a table by the window.

Since the third floor of the restaurant is the kitchen and the restaurant staff's dormitories, the two of them could see waiters and chefs carrying dishes going down the spiral staircase from time to time.

"What do you two guests want to eat?" The bearded man rubbed his hands and laughed.

Sephiroth opened the menu on the desktop and took a look, then he said calmly:

"First serve all the dishes on your menu...

Also, I would like to designate your sous chef Sanji to cook these dishes. Is that okay? "

Hearing this, the bearded man was stunned for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he nodded quickly and said:

"Ah!? No problem, no problem!

You appointed that bastard Sanji to cook, that's his honor. "

After saying that, the bearded man bowed slightly, turned around, left the table, and quickly ran up to the kitchen on the third floor of the restaurant.

After he glanced around the kitchen, he shouted loudly to a blond man with curly eyebrows who was standing in front of the gas stove cooking, wearing a black suit and a white apron:

"The distinguished guest on the second floor named me and asked Sanji to cook all the dishes on the menu.

You bastard, you must do it carefully and don't embarrass our Barati restaurant! "

Hearing this, Sanji immediately turned his head and glanced at the bearded man, who said impatiently:

"I know! Paddy, stop yelling in front of me."

"Hmph! If you mess up things and the dishes you cook fail to satisfy the customers, Boss Zhepu will definitely be angry!

Think about it yourself! "Paddy curled his lips and warned.

"Stop blabbering! My craftsmanship has long surpassed that of old man Zhepu, and I will definitely wow the guests."

However......

Just after Sanji said this, he was hit hard on the head with a wooden stick.

Sanji turned around and saw a blond man who had his right leg amputated and used a wooden stick as a prosthetic leg. He was wearing a white chef's uniform and a long white chef's hat. His beard was tied into two golden braids. The old man... Zhepu!

"You bastard! You are so brazen that you have surpassed me?

You are a hundred years too early!

If today's reception is messed up, get out of this restaurant..." Zhepu said viciously.

A few days ago, a man in a black suit suddenly came to Balati, a sea restaurant, and said he wanted to book the entire second floor of the restaurant for someone else.

Originally, Zhepu strictly refused!

but......

But that person gave too much!

A small goal of [-] million.

Make money!Don't knock.

So, after a symbolic hesitation of three seconds, Zhepu decisively agreed.

Hearing Zhepu's warning words, Sanji snorted slightly and retorted:

"Smelly old man, please stop talking!

I will definitely use my cooking skills to satisfy the guests..."

Sanji can become the sous chef of the sea restaurant Barati. In addition to his seniority, his cooking skills are naturally very good. He is already on par with Zhepu, otherwise he would not be able to serve as the restaurant's second in command.

With his cooking skills, he can actually start his own business and go out to work...

However, Sanji has always been resentful about the fact that Zep lost his right leg because he saved him in a shipwreck, so in order to repay his kindness, he kept himself tied to the sea restaurant Barati and did not choose to leave. .
