Chapter-127
—-------------------
"Syrup Village" Yoriichi replied as he had already thought about their next destination, as he showed her the map, as it's one of the villages on an island surrounded by other islands
But those islands aren't inhabited meaning there isn't any human civilisation on those islands which is why he doesn't see any reason to go there
While Robin was looking at the map that Yoriichi was showing in his hands, Nami went forward and snatched the map from his hands
"Since I am your navigator from now on then it's my responsibility to take you there" Nami said proudly as she took charge of where the ship is going
Yoriichi didnt mind this as he also wanted to know how he handled the ships considering the fact that she is quite young as well as she spends most of her life in captivity
He doesn't think she has any real experience in handling a ship, the only exception he could think of is when he takes a small boat to go to other ships in order to steal their valuables
While he was in his thoughts, Robin patted her on his shoulder to grab his attention, Yoriichi turned his head towards her
"Yoriichi, don't you think it's a call for celebration for our new member" Robin said this to Yoriichi as she wants a feast for the new member who just joined them
"Yes" Yoriichi replied as he immediately went inside in order to cook the food as he also thinks it's time for a celebration
"Where is he going?" Nami asked this question as she didnt hear the conversation between Robin and Yoriichi due to the fact that she was already very focused on the route of the village
"Dont worry about it" Robin replied to Nami's question as she told her not to worry about it and focused on what she was doing
.....
An hour later…
"Wow, it's delicious!!" Nami couldn't help but say this out loud with sparkling eyes as she took a bite of food in her hands
"I know, he really cooks well too," Robin said as she ate with Nami, Yoriichi also smiled after hearing their praise
As it shows his efforts to learn cooking were worth it, moreover he also liked how his cooking could put a smile on their faces
He remembered how shakky always nagged him about how he always tries to copy her rather than making his own dishes
When it comes to cooking, shakky was the one who taught him that but due to the fact that he has perfect memory, he always perfectly duplicates her recipe as it's made by shakky herself which she didnt like
Even when Rayleigh tried his cooking, he was shocked to know that it was made by him, not by shakky
Shakky wasn't happy about this, as she wanted him to develop his own cooking because she wanted him to have his own cooking and different tastes
It will be more accurate to say that she wanted him to develop his own taste, in order to recognise his cooking rather than someone else's
He was confused at first, as he couldn't understand what she meant by that but after some time he was finally able to figure it out
As he finally understood what Shakky meant by her words, and that was a recipe since unlike him, not everyone had a perfect memory
This is the reason why people who try to learn cooking always make some minor mistakes like adding more ingredients or less, which definitely makes their dish taste different from the original recipe developed by someone else
That time he finally understood the objective that shakky gave him and that was to make the same dish that he learned from Shakky but made a similar dish
But he doesn't want to make a minor mistake when he especially knows what he will be doing is wrong which is the reason he didnt do that
Rather he genuinely tried to upgrade the recipe his own way by adding more ingredients and spices and after some tries, he was finally able to achieve success
He clearly remembered how shakky praised after she tasted what I made, which really made him feel that his efforts were worth it
Remembering those memories brought a smile unconsciously to his face, as he wondered what shakky and Rayleigh would be doing now
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in the New World…
*sigh*
"I wonder how Yoriichi-chan will be doing?" Shakky released a worried sigh as she asked this question to the man who was sitting in front of her
"Hahaha, dont worry about him, we already taught him everything we can, didnt we?" Man laughed at Shakky's worry and replied to shakky question as unlike her he didnt worry about Yoriichi at all since he is none other than the person who taught Yoriichi who is none other than Rayleigh
"Yeah but without him, it feels kind of empty" Shakky couldn't help but say this as Yoriichi has been living with them for many years and because of his good nature, he somehow became family to Shakky and Rayleigh
"I know that feeling but he needs to spread out his wings too in this world" Rayleigh replied as he thinks it will be too much for someone as capable as Yoriichi to remain in such a small place with retired people
"Aren't you worried about the boy? I mean he got a big bounty on his and he is in East Blue where Garp is" Shakky said this as she smoked her cigarette as she couldn't help but worry for Boy's safety
Especially after assaulting a Celestial dragon, not once but twice she doubts the Navy would let him roam freely
Even though she admits that he has become very strong in the past years enough to overpower Admiral still there are people who are up there who are strong
