Pirates: The ship's deputy is the biggest supporter of the Straw Hat Pirates

Liga's Tavern——

"Burp~" Zoro touched his stomach with a satisfied look on his face: "I'm so full. After all, I haven't eaten for three weeks. This is my limit now."

However, most of the food that Zoro eats are sweet rice balls made by Riga. If you want to know why Riga prepared so many rice balls, you have to ask the culprit Yi Chen.

a few minutes ago--

"How did you make so many rice balls? These... were all made by you?" Zoro asked Rika, pointing at a large plate of rice balls placed in front of him.

"Yes, I made them all. When we were leaving the execution ground, didn't you say my rice balls were delicious and asked me to make some more for you?"

Although Liga was confused, she still answered Zoro's question.

"I did say your rice balls are delicious, but I didn't ask you to make so many for me. Who is this idiot who spread rumors?"

Zoro thought about it, looked at Luffy who was still eating, and then looked at Yi Chen who turned his head away and whistled.

“That’s definitely what this guy said.”

But Zoro just sighed and didn't say much. He then picked up the rice ball in front of him and put it into his mouth...

Gaba Gaba——

"Big brother, why are you crying?" Seeing Zoro crying while eating, Liga asked with concern.

"That's because the rice balls you made, Lijia, are so delicious, and you made them especially for him. Big brother was so moved that he shed tears."

Before Zoro could speak, Yi Chen explained to Liga on Zoro's behalf.

"Really?" Liga's eyes curved into crescent shapes and she asked Zoro with a smile on her face.

Although Zoro shed tears because of the sweetness of the rice ball, he still nodded gently to indicate that it was right.

"That's great. I was worried that I put too much sugar in the rice balls I made this time. Big brother, you might not like them~" The little girl smiled sweetly...

Then he added: "It seems that what the long-haired brother said is right. Big brother, you really like sweet rice balls."

Hearing this, although Sauron wanted to complain about Yi Chen's bad intentions, he held back because he had a good idea.

"Is it so delicious, Zoro?" Luffy said, and then took a rice ball from Zoro's plate and put it into his mouth.

Gaba Gaba——

While chewing the rice ball, Luffy's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils seemed to shrink due to the sudden sweetness, and the corners of his eyes slightly curled up.

Then Luffy's mouth formed a perfect "O" shape, and then his brows unconsciously frowned, forming a deep "川" character.

Luffy's cheeks also bulged slightly due to the overly sweet feeling. Finally, Luffy's chin protruded forward slightly, as if he was trying to swallow this overly strong sweetness.

Luffy's entire facial expression is like he's constipated...

"What's wrong with Straw Hat brother?" Rika asked with a puzzled look at Luffy who was feeling so sweet that he wanted to vomit.

"Not good!" Seeing Luffy trying to spit out the rice ball, Zoro hurriedly walked in front of Luffy...

Um...

Just when Luffy was about to vomit, Zoro covered Luffy's mouth.

Then he pushed Luffy's chin with his palm, making Luffy's mouth face the ceiling, and stretched Luffy's mouth again, "helping" Luffy swallow the sweet rice ball...

Gollum—

Zoro saw that Luffy had already swallowed the rice ball, so he let go of his hand...

puff-

Luffy sat down on the ground and stuck out his tongue: "I'm so thirsty... water... I want water..."

At this moment, Luffy's throat was so sweet that he didn't know how to describe it in words. He only knew that it was very choking and dry...

Coby quickly poured a glass of water for Luffy: "Mr. Luffy, are you okay?"

Gulu gulu——

"Ah~" Luffy sighed softly: "I'm saved..."

Luffy looked at Zoro who was still crying while eating the rice balls on the table, and then looked at Liga who was watching Zoro eating the rice balls. He knew why Zoro was crying while eating a rice ball. It was so sweet!

Yi Chen walked to Zoro's side, patted Zoro's shoulder, and then smiled: "You're welcome!"

"What a great opportunity!"

Just when Yi Chen just let go of his hand, Zoro picked up a rice ball and stuffed it into Yi Chen's mouth as fast as he could...

Ham——

Although Yi Chen thought that Sauron might find a way to "repay his favor", he didn't expect him to "repay his favor" in this way, so he was caught off guard and was stuffed with a rice ball.

Zoro whispered in Yichen's ear, "Don't spit it out, Yichen, or Lijia will be sad." After saying that, Zoro smiled back at Yichen...

"Damn, I was careless and got tricked. It's just a rice ball. Zoro eats so many, so it won't be a big deal if I eat just one."

Gaba Gaba——

With this thought in mind, Yi Chen began to chew the rice ball in his mouth...

"Huh???" Yi Chen, who was eating a rice ball, suddenly widened his eyes...

Yi Chen's brain was constantly bombarded by the sweet taste of the rice ball. Even his teeth felt that it was too sweet and he didn't want to continue eating the rice ball in his mouth...

Tongue: "I'm going crazy from the sweetness, Brother Teeth, please help me."

Teeth: "Brother Throat, I can't bite this rice ball, so I'll leave it to you."

Throat: "You gave me such a big rice ball without chewing it up, are you going to choke me to death?"

However, the tongue and teeth ignored the throat and pushed the rice ball down directly...

Throat: "Well, I deserve to be killed by the sweetness."

"Cursed magic——Loss of taste!"

Yi Chen didn't want to feel the choking sensation again, so he cast a curse on himself to eliminate his sense of taste.

After swallowing the rice ball, Yi Chen used purification to remove the curse on himself.

After tasting the rice ball, Yi Chen admired Zoro's taste buds even more. It was so sweet and yet he could show off so much, which was really amazing.

After seeing Yi Chen also had the "delicious" rice ball, Zoro continued to eat the remaining rice balls. The difference was that Zoro was now eating the rice balls while laughing and shedding tears.

Back to the time when everyone had just eaten——

"By the way, besides me, how many people have you recruited?"

"I remember you said you were gathering companions."

"Since you declared that you want to be the Pirate King, I guess you must have recruited a lot of people."

Zoro looked at Luffy who was still eating the chicken leg and asked...

"No, there are only you and Yichen," Luffy replied casually.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Sauron widened his eyes and pointed at himself and Yi Chen beside him: "In other words..."

Luffy wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, just the three of us."

Zoro looked at Luffy in disbelief: "Do we three dare to call ourselves a pirate group?"

Luffy said indifferently: "What does it matter? We are so strong!"

"Haha" Yi Chen on the side also chuckled: "Luffy is right, the three of us can look down on the world"

To be precise, Yi Chen alone can look down on the world of pirates.

Hearing this, Zoro was shocked by Yi Chen.

"You're more daring than Luffy. Can the three of us look down on the world? But I'm looking forward to the fact that we can look down on the world."

Zoro thought about it and felt that this was indeed a possibility.

Then the corners of Zoro's mouth slightly raised: "Well, maybe in the future the three of us can really look down on the world!"
