"Look, Brother Ron, Brother Zoro, this is the Baratie restaurant."
Johnny, with a bruised and swollen face, stood at the bow of the ship, pointing at the giant fish floating on the sea.
It looked like a fish, but in reality, it was a restaurant.
It was a well-known restaurant in the East Blue.
Even Marines and pirates alike would come aboard this ship to taste its food.
However… it was said that the chefs on this ship were not very friendly.
Johnny mumbled an explanation, as he had heard some rumors about the Sea Restaurant.
The dishes inside were delicious, but the chefs were not friendly.
"It's okay, we're looking for crewmates, there should be someone suitable for us there!"
"I'm really looking forward to it, I wonder what the head chef looks like!"
Luffy sat on the ship's railing, a look of anticipation on his face.
He wondered if the food would be delicious.
That was the real question Luffy was concerned about.
"There must be some, after all, it's an old place in the East Blue."
"I've been there a few times before."
Ron chuckled softly, looking at the familiar Baratie.
After all, he had heard that the food there was good, and Ron had even become friends with Zeff.
"Really? Then full speed ahead!"
Luffy said impatiently.
"Hey, hey, it looks like a Marine ship has appeared!"
Usopp ran over, a hint of anxiety on his face.
Although they had been simulating sailing for the past few days, changing one's personality was not something that could be done overnight.
Hearing about the Marines, Usopp, being a pirate, still couldn't help but panic!
"What are you panicking for! It's just the Marines, I want to see what the East Blue Marines are like!"
Zoro patted the sword at his waist; his strength had increased considerably during this period.
He hadn't had a chance to show it off, and now was a good opportunity.
Nami also looked at the approaching ship; their Going Merry was a section larger.
"They wouldn't want to attack us, would they!"
Nami said with some distress.
She said she didn't want to make their reputation so big right now.
Such a big reputation wouldn't do her any good.
At most, it would mean being targeted by enemies when they sailed out in the future.
"It's a pirate flag I haven't seen before!"
A pink-haired man walked out and casually glanced at Zoro and the others.
But the pirate flag they had just drawn had no reputation at all yet.
"I am Marine Headquarters Captain, Iron Fist Fullbody!"
"Who is your captain, step forward!"
Fullbody looked at the Going Merry, seeing only young people on board, and immediately felt relieved.
"I'm Luffy, the man who will become the King of Pirates!"
Luffy sat on the ship's railing, looking at Fullbody.
"King of Pirates?"
Fullbody burst into laughter, looking at this young punk.
He hadn't expected a young punk to say he wanted to become the King of Pirates.
"Sink them!"
Fullbody no longer paid attention and said to the Marines beside him.
A small pirate crew was not enough to attract his attention.
"Yes, sir!"
The Marines quickly sprang into action.
They rapidly moved cannonballs and adjusted the muzzles.
"Usopp, aren't there cannonballs on board?"
Ron looked at Usopp.
"Ah, yes there are!"
Usopp nodded subconsciously.
"As the ship's sniper, you can't daze off, sink them!"
Ron pointed at the warship in front of them, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Usopp's face showed difficulty; were all pirates like this?
Did they all fire cannonballs to sink Marine ships when they encountered them?
But Ron's words carried more weight on the ship than Luffy's.
Usopp quickly moved the cannon and also adjusted the muzzle to aim at the warship.
"Ron, is Usopp okay?"
Luffy scratched his head, not distressed about the matter escalating.
He hadn't seen Usopp use cannonballs before, so he was worried Usopp might not aim well.
"No problem, let's go to the Sea Restaurant first!"
"You two stay on the ship and watch it, if the ship gets lost!"
"You two better be prepared to lose your heads!"
Ron glared at Johnny and Yosaku, who had already shrunk into the cabin.
Those two guys had been badmouthing their pirate crew earlier.
"Yes, Boss Ron!"
"Don't worry, we will protect the ship with our lives!"
The two nodded quickly, not daring to have any other thoughts.
To these two, Ron was too terrifying.
He was simply like a devil.
"Boom!"
A cannon fired, and black smoke billowed from the cannon next to Usopp.
Usopp's face, meanwhile, wore an excited smile.
"Rumble!"
A burst of black smoke rose from the warship, and fire flashed.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to destroy the ship opposite?"
"Why is our ship being attacked!"
Fullbody widened his eyes, looking at the Marine soldiers in front of him.
"Report, Captain, the pirate crew opposite attacked first and directly destroyed our cannon!"
"And our ship has suffered extensive damage, we probably need to return to port!"
The Marine said, his face covered in dirt.
He also hadn't expected that there would be pirates daring to open fire on them.
Did these guys not know the terror of their Marines?
"Damn it, return to port what? Grab your weapons and seize these pirates!"
Fullbody kicked a Marine soldier in the stomach, angrily shouting at the other Marines.
These pirates were audacious, daring to attack them.
Today, these guys would pay the price.
"Ron knew you wouldn't let it go, honestly!"
"Does this guy even understand people's hearts so well?"
Zoro stood on the warship with two swords in hand, a look of excitement on his face.
"You, the Pirate Hunter Zoro?"
Fullbody recognized Zoro's identity.
But he was even more surprised; he hadn't expected the Pirate Hunter to become a pirate.
"My name isn't small in the East Blue!!!"
Zoro grinned, a faint purple lightning crackling around him.
He suddenly charged into the crowd of Marines.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Screams echoed continuously.
The Marines on the ship fell one by one.
They all had shallow wounds on their bodies.
Most of them were hit with the back of the blade.
"They should have entered the restaurant by now, we can't make them wait too long!"
Zoro saw Fullbody, who was the last one remaining.
Oh, and there was also a beautiful woman.
…
"What a nice atmosphere! I didn't expect there to be such a restaurant on the sea!"
Nami exclaimed, looking at the interior decorations.
She hadn't heard of such a restaurant in the East Blue.
She should have come here for a big meal earlier!
"Hello, gentlemen!"
Patty smiled at Ron and the others as they entered the door.
He had a bright, sunny smile on his face, but it didn't match his appearance at all.
He had a fierce-looking face, yet he was smiling to greet guests.
This made Ron feel the hardships of life.
Perhaps the chef liked it this way!
"Have Zeff cook, give me one of everything!"
Ron pushed Patty's face away; this guy was too close.
"You are! Gluttonous Wolf!"
Patty immediately became well-behaved, quickly wiping his hands on his apron.
With a flustered expression, he hurried upstairs to find Zeff to cook.
Ron's name was still very useful in the East Blue.
…
