【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

In fact, things didn’t happen every day on the voyage. During these three days, they were like usual. Zoro trained or took a nap in the place where he usually stayed, Usopp found a corner to study his inventions, and was dragged around by Luffy from time to time. Nami often drew sea charts in the room. The current cooking work was given to Qi. Only Qi and Nami knew how to cook on the ship. If you ask why Nami didn’t cook, you can only say that it was because there was no money...

"We've arrived at the restaurant on the sea!" Johnny shouted from the observation deck.

A huge pink fish-shaped ship appeared in their sight.

"What a big fish!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise.

"How spectacular!" Usopp exclaimed.

"Why is there a navy ship?" Qi looked at the ship docked outside the restaurant with some confusion.

"They're not going to attack us!" Usopp said in panic.

"I've never seen a pirate flag before..." said a pink-haired navy on a navy ship. "I'm Captain Iron Fist Hobodi of the Navy Headquarters. Who's the captain?"

"I'm Luffy, and I just made the pirate flag the day before yesterday." Luffy said seriously.

The navy was a little shocked at the noise on the other side. He noticed the two brothers hiding on the pirate ship and laughed, "You are Johnny and Joseph who specialize in catching third-rate pirates, right? What, you were finally caught by pirates?"

"Third-rate pirates! Let them see our target! Joseph!" He raised the wanted warrant on his body and then jumped onto the navy ship, ready to teach them a lesson. However, he was beaten back by the navy in a short while and the wanted warrant on his body fell onto the deck.

"Johnny, what is this?" Nami said as she picked up the wanted poster on the ground.

"It's a list of wanted criminals with bounties on their heads, Sister Nami." Johnny said weakly, "It's a great deal. As long as we kill them, we can get the corresponding bounty."

Qi noticed that Nami was pulling the wanted poster in her hand hard and seemed to be in a bad mood. He asked worriedly, "Is there a problem, Nami?"

"Nothing..." Nami said softly.

"Hey! It's bad, that guy is aiming a cannon at us!" Usopp's panicked voice came, Qi turned his head and saw Luffy turning his body into a balloon to bounce the flying shells back.

"Hey! Wrong direction, Luffy!" Qi watched the cannonball fired by Luffy fly towards the Barati Restaurant.

"Oh!" Nami covered her face with a headache when she saw Luffy's behavior.

……

"Boss, let's bring the criminal here. This kid did it." A Barati chef said angrily, picking up the boy in his hands.

Luffy looked at the old man's broken leg, thinking it was caused by the bomb he had just made, and he was immediately frightened and screamed "Ah! Your leg!"

"Idiot!" The old man kicked him and then told him that he only had one foot, but he was also injured in other parts of his body, so he still had to pay compensation. If he didn't have money, he would have to do odd jobs here for free for a year.

"A year!?" Luffy yelled in horror with his eyes wide open, and began to try to get him to reduce the time to a week.

……

"Luffy is so slow..." Zoro said, leaning on the railing.

Qi saw the scene inside the Barati restaurant from the shadow and immediately laughed. Luffy was being asked to work.

"Maybe I'll be detained there and do odd jobs." Nami said.

"Let's go check it out! Let's eat while we're at it!" Usopp said with a smirk "Maybe we can even see Luffy as a waiter!"

When Qi and his friends walked into the restaurant, they happened to see the waiter beating the navy man, the culprit who caused their captain to be taken away to do odd jobs. They found a seat, sat down and started ordering food.

"What kind of store is this? I must find someone to destroy it!" said the navy captain angrily.

"Then I'll have to get rid of you here!" The blond waiter walked forward angrily and tried to beat the navy captain again. Several chefs standing next to him hurriedly stopped him.

"Wow ah ah!"

Suddenly Luffy and an old man in a chef's uniform fell from the roof. Qi was about to say hello to Luffy, and then he saw the old man kick the blond waiter and kicked the navy captain out. Huh? This store is really weird.

"Captain! It's bad!" A navy soldier rushed in from the restaurant door and shouted in panic, "Pirate Creek's men have escaped!!"

"What!? He has been hungry for several days, it is impossible for him to have the strength to escape!" the navy captain shouted in disbelief.

"Crick and his gang!?"

"Isn't that the strongest pirate group in the East Sea?"

The customers in the restaurant shouted in panic.

"boom!"

Qi turned his head to look at the restaurant entrance, where a weak man was standing with a gun. He staggered straight to the dining table, sat down on the chair with his back against it, put his feet on the table, and asked for the food.

Paddy walked up with a huge smile on his face, "Welcome, idiot!" He treated his customers as gods, provided that God had money.

When he learned that the person who came in had no money, Paddy ignored the gun pointed at his head, punched him directly, and then threw him onto the deck outside the restaurant. "Anyone who can't pay... is not a customer!" He turned to look at the other customers in the restaurant and continued to serve with a smile, "Come on! Dear old customers! Please continue to eat!"

Luffy noticed that the blond chef looked at the pirate and left. Luffy ran to the deck and looked at the pirate below and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Here, eat." Sanji came out and placed a plate of fried seafood in front of the hungry pirate, then leaned against the railing and took out a cigarette.

The pirate swallowed hard, but couldn't help it. He picked up the fried rice, turned his back to Sanji, and began to eat while crying with gratitude. "This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious food! I thought I was going to die..."

"It's delicious, right?" Sanji held a cigarette in his mouth with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I found a good chef." Luffy said with a smile while lying on the railing.

"He is indeed a good chef." Qi said with a smile standing behind Luffy, and then handed the food in his hand to Luffy.

"Wow, that's great." Luffy said happily, and then swallowed the food in one gulp. "Not bad, I want him to be my chef!"

"Hahaha, then our chef will be left to you, Luffy!" Qi said with a smile, then turned and walked towards the restaurant. He followed Luffy out to see what was going on because he saw him running out. Since Luffy had a goal, of course he had to support him.

"That's great! Let him have a good meal!!"

A voice suddenly came from the deck above the ship, causing Sanji and the pirates to look up. A boy in a straw hat was leaning over the railing and talking to them with a bright smile on his face.

"Hey, chef! Become our partner! Become the chef on my pirate ship!"

"Huh?" Sanji looked at the boy in shock.

"So you are a pirate! Why did you use cannons to bomb our store?" Sanji asked puzzledly.

Luffy jumped down from the railing and sat on the railing next to the people below the deck "It was an accident, the shell accidentally exploded during legitimate defense." Luffy said with a smile.

"No matter what, don't try to do anything bad to this restaurant. The manager here used to be a famous pirate." Sanji leaned on the railing and warned, "Besides, the chefs of this restaurant all came here because of his reputation. They all have explosive tempers like pirates. But in a place like this where pirates often appear, their tempers are just right."

"This store is really busy!" Luffy said with a smile.
