Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

The business model of the Seven Waters City is already very mature, with a wide variety of goods. As long as you have money, you can buy anything you want, including devil fruits.

When they passed by an auction house, the promotional posters posted outside used devil fruits as the latest hot selling point.

However, Remos and Nami are not interested in fruits for the time being, and the price of such fruits on auction will be much higher than the actual value. Remos and his friends only have 100 million Baileys in their hands. It is nothing but a foolish dream to want to buy a fruit from the auction.

Moreover, such fruits that can be auctioned are usually not good fruits. The truly precious fruits will be scrambled by major forces as soon as they appear.

Pirates, the navy, the world government, the revolutionary army, these forces have ended up, how can it be the turn of an ordinary auction house?

Of course, this is not absolute. After all, the place and time of fruit rebirth are random. Maybe a very precious fruit will suddenly be reborn in a corner and then auctioned. It is all possible.

But Remos and his friends didn't have the devil fruit encyclopedia, so they had no interest in opening a blind box. They just took a look and continued walking down the long street.

The previous Niuyu had been returned, because they were now heading to the largest commercial plaza in the Seven Waters. It would not be too late to hire Niuyu when they planned to return to the hotel.

The entertainment industry in the Seven Waters was also very developed. The most famous one should be the mask carnival, which was only held on specific days and was the grandest event in the city.

Unfortunately, Remos and his friends came at an unlucky time. Recently, it was not the day for the carnival, but in addition to such large-scale events, the Seven Waters would also hold various small events from time to time.

For example, now, Remos and Nami encountered an event called the "Seven Waters Food Competition", where chefs from all over the world would gather here to compete in their cooking skills.

The winner would get a high bounty and a set of precious kitchenware, and the loser would not come in vain. In addition to the encouragement award, he might also be noticed by local merchants and become the chef of the restaurant.

During the competition, the contestants not only have to prepare food for the judges, but also for the general audience. The contestants need to make food in large quantities to satisfy the audience's appetite.

This is also a hard requirement for chefs. Not only must they have the ability to make exquisite dishes, but they must also have the ability to handle a large number of diners.

Remos and Nami looked at the flyers in their hands, and then looked at the dense crowd in front.

"Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Remos suggested.

"But... I feel like I can't eat anymore..."

Nami touched her belly and said with tears in her eyes. If she had known this, she would not have eaten so desperately just now.

It's a pity that the Seven Waters City is too big. If we don't walk nearby, who would know that there would be such a food competition going on here?

"I can still eat some, and we should have digested a lot along the way. Anyway, it's just a taste, it doesn't matter."

Remos persuaded.

Nami struggled for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of food, and followed Remos into the crowd.

Today is the third day of the food competition. The schedule has reached the semi-final stage. The four contestants are standing behind their respective kitchen stoves, processing the ingredients seriously.

Remos took Nami to the front of the crowd and finally saw the appearance of the four chefs.

From left to right, there are three men and one woman.

The male chef on the far left is an old man with white hair and beard, bare-chested, revealing gnarled muscles. His cooking scene is also the hottest. The flame in the stove is turned to the maximum, and the flames jump out from the edge of the pot, wrapping the whole pot.

And as he operates, the flames will surge from time to time, and the highest point of the flames can rise to about one meter, which can cause cheers from the surrounding crowd every time.

The second one is also a man. He looks like a nobleman, with blond hair and blue eyes, and his dress is extremely gorgeous and sophisticated. He is also very elegant when cooking, and all his movements are like dancing. Many female audiences are attracted by him.

The third one was the only woman on the field, with long purple hair and very ordinary clothes. Yes, very ordinary, just like a random passerby on the street, and even worse than the passersby. She had a big braid and a pair of huge glasses on her face, the lenses covering half of her face, making it difficult to see her appearance.

Her dress can be said to be very rustic.

Her movements were also the most ordinary. Unlike the others who were either elegant or fiery, she just lowered her head to cut vegetables, looking like a kitchen girl next door, not a real chef at all.

The audience around her paid the least attention to her, evenOccasionally, someone would boo her.

The fourth one was a young man in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. He was obviously skilled in kung fu. At this moment, he was beating and hitting half a beef. He would occasionally shout, which also attracted the audience's applause.

The four people were on the same stage, and the contrast was very prominent.

Although Remos was very clear about the general performance, he knew that people like the third girl, who were inconspicuous, often had powerful forces hidden behind them, or had abilities that were completely different from their appearance.

But he was inevitably attracted by the other three people and subconsciously ignored the girl.

In this way, the four contestants operated separately, and soon their works were completed one after another.

The old man brought out a large pot of fried rice, which sparkled crystal clear in the sun. The golden eggs, snow-white rice, red peppers, green vegetables... All the colors seemed mixed, but in fact they were very harmonious.

The on-site staff brought many small bowls and distributed the fried rice to the audience around.

Remos and Nami also each got a small bowl. They took a bite, widened their eyes at the same time, and then looked at each other.

"Delicious!" ×2

Remos couldn't tell what was so delicious about this bowl of fried rice, but he just thought it was delicious.

The second contestant presented a salad with a special sauce on it, which tasted equally good, but the steak part inside was not so good, mainly because Remos and Nami had just eaten a belly full of meat, and it was difficult for them to feel amazing when they ate it now.

Then came the fourth contestant's work, charcoal grilled beef.

Remos and the other two simply didn't want it, because they really didn't want to eat meat anymore.

Finally, the rustic girl's work was finally served, a bowl of ramen with only a leaf floating on it.

"..."

Remos and Nami looked at each other again, and with the idea of ​​giving it a try, they each picked up a few noodles and put them in their mouths.
