25: Chapter 25 "Let's go!"Give up?"
After the battle with Hawkeye, he had already seen that the boy was extraordinary.
Zhepu has always been confident in his own vision.
"Old fellow."
Shan Zhi looked at the folded score in front of him stupidly.
ALL BULL is indeed their common dream, but he really doesn't want to leave this Ballati restaurant!
Moreover, he couldn't let go of this score that gave him an alternative kind of fatherly love!
"Stop it, stop it."
Shan Zhi seemed to have figured it out, and he stood there and said loudly: "ALL BULL, when you die, I will find it myself.But now, don't try to drive me away!"
"That's not up to you, Shanzhi!"
Zhepu revealed a rare cold look in his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Because——"
Bang!
He kicked out suddenly.
The wooden leg slammed into the defenseless Shan Zhi's face, kicking him out and roaring, "I'm the boss here!"
"Oh my god!"
Shan Zhi got up in a panic, covering his face.
"That's right, Shanzhi, people like you are too dangerous in a restaurant!"
"The boss is right.It's better to get rid of him."
"I told you long ago, Shan Zhi is a troublemaker!"
"We don't need a man with such chivalry in our restaurant!"
"That's right."
At this time, the chefs from the kitchen also came out and spoke coldly to Shan Zhi.
They all looked fierce, holding kitchen knives or large spoons in their hands, looking at him with disgust.
They were all talking at the same time, making fun of Shan Zhi.
"You guys!"
Shan Zhi's face was extremely ugly, veins bulged on his forehead, and he stared at his former companions with wide eyes.
"Looks like the second squad's new chef has arrived.What a messed up name, 'Merry Bait'.Let's get Carmen on board sometime."
Luffy looked at all this and his mind became clear.
He stood up, patted his butt and walked out.He had just eaten too much and needed to walk to digest it.
As soon as I stepped out of the restaurant, I heard the sound of folding music behind me:
"As the restaurant owner, I officially announce that from today on, you are no longer in the position of sous chef.Pack up and leave, Shanzhi!"
"What?"
A few minutes later, Luffy was feeling the sea breeze and saw Yamashita rushing out angrily, running up to the room on the second floor without looking back.
But after a few minutes, he came down again.
He didn't say a word to Luffy during the whole process, but just had a gloomy face, ready to rush into the restaurant again.
Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhepu's expulsion and his friends' ridicule.
But before he could go in, he heard laughter from inside.
then--
"Hahaha.Kalne, your acting is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
"Paddy, it was obviously you who gave up first!"
"Really?The boss didn't even kick him hard enough.He almost got caught."
"Be quiet, don't let that guy hear you."
Outside the door,
Luffy's ears twitched slightly.
He sneered.
Sure enough, what should be heard was heard.
The Pirate King's right-hand man has been obtained.
He looked out at the rough sea and asked without looking back, "So, are you willing to be part of my crew?"
"Well, I don't have any other choice now, do I?" Yamashita had changed into a suit and stood beside Luffy.
He leaned against the side of the ship, resting his arms on it, looking at Luffy's face which was calm but smiling, feeling mixed emotions.
"Honestly, Luffy, I'm quite curious."
Shan Zhi lit a cigarette and looked at Luffy beside him in confusion: "Why would someone as powerful as you have to mess around with a bunch of 'rookies'?"
He had seen it from the battle with Hawkeye.In front of Monk D.Luffy, including the green-haired boy who wielded three swords, they were all rookies not worth mentioning.
Since you have such strong strength, why not find a stronger partner?
"Hey~ Compared to strength, I value fate more."
Luffy chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule: "If I wanted, everything in this world would be mine sooner or later.but that would be much more trouble, and it would also take away a lot of fun!"
"Besides, who said you were rookies?"
"You have potential that most powerful people don't have.
Once the Straw Hat crew erupts,
That's no joke."
Alas, to realize the drive in my heart, the former Straw Hat Pirates members now seem to have reached the bottom line."
"You guys, your mind is as deep as the sea."
Shan Zhi put down his cigarette butt, stared at Luffy, and said nothing for a long time.
Finally, he extended his left hand and said, "Since you don't mind me, I will take on the role of chef for Team 12.Please take good care of me from now on."
"Welcome, Shanzhi.You will never regret your decision today."
"So, you really don't want me as the chef on the Merry?"
"No, because.I already have a choice."
Shan Zhi: "What?"
The next morning.
"Everyone, get ready to set sail!"
Luffy, who had just come out of the cabin rubbing his eyes, hugged Nami's waist and shouted at the top of his voice.
Look at both sides of the Golden Merry,
Baki, Solong and the others had been waiting there for a long time.Some were sharpening their knives, while others were practicing martial arts.
Keya and Nochigo were also sitting on the deck, one of them enjoying breakfast.
It was obvious that he made the score for them and delivered it personally.
Everything is ready, except for the new members to board and join the red ship of the First Division.
He glanced toward the Ballati restaurant.
Early in the morning, the chefs were standing there in groups of two or three.
They stared at Shan Zhi with unfriendly eyes, as if they were looking at a plague god, hoping that he would die soon.The point disappears.
"Let's go, Yamashi!"
"Once you leave, Balati will be at peace!"
"Without you, a nuisance, there will definitely be a constant stream of female customers!"
Outside the restaurant,
On the deck of the Ballati,
Shan Zhi was carrying large and small bags, and he felt annoyed when he saw these people pretending.
He said angrily: "Stop acting, your acting is terrible!"
"Hahaha——this brat actually saw through me."
The group of chefs didn't feel embarrassed at all, but laughed so hard that they fell over.
"These guys."
Shan Zhi glanced at them helplessly and stared at the restaurant for a while.
Then he strode towards the pirate ship without looking back.
As soon as he saw Keya, Nochigo and Nami on the boat, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Sister Namei, Sister Keya, Sister Nochigo~ I'm on board!"
He was so excited that he felt like jumping up and down.
As a result, before he could even stand firmly, Luffy kicked him back.
This kick almost took his life!
Blood spurted out!
"Shanzhi, if you really want to die, I don't mind sending you to heaven right now."
Shan Zhiyi, who was kicked to the ground, shuddered when he heard this.
Although he was terribly frightened in his heart, he had to pretend to be nonchalant on the surface and said with a grin:
"Luffy, since men and women are on separate ships, why are you allowed to stay on board?"
"You want to reason with the captain?Or should I teach you how to be a good person again?"
This is so unfair.Using force to suppress others is so shameless!
Luffy looked at him and said with a smile, "Are you leaving without saying goodbye to the boss?"
Shan Zhi got up, dusted himself off, and said without turning his head, "No need."
"Really?Then get on the red ship and get ready to go.and you, the vice-captain of the first division."
Luffy's team has always relied on strength, and it would be useless even if Wu Suopu cried his heart out in the toilet.
The canvases of the two large ships were slowly spread out, and they were about to set sail.
On the second floor of the restaurant, on the other side of the railing,
Zhepu leaned there, his hand supporting his chin, and suddenly grinned and said:
"Shanzhi, don't catch a cold."
Shan Zhigang stopped stepping onto the deck.
His eyes suddenly opened wide and his lips were tightly pursed.
Years of memories flooded back to him like a flood, and tears had blurred his vision.
He threw his luggage onto the boat, turned around and ran over.
"Boss Zhepu!"
He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, and banged his head against the ground."Thank you so much for taking care of me over the years.I will always remember your kindness!"
When Zhepu saw Shanzhi suddenly kneeling down, his eyes gradually became moist.
After all, he was raised like my own son since childhood.How could I really bear to let him go?
I just let him go with reluctance, hoping that he can have a better future.
"Woo, this is so touching!"
"Damn you, Shanzhi, you made me cry!"
"I'm so lonely.What should I do when I'm bored without you?"
"You must come back to see us sometime, Shanzhi!"
The shouts of gratitude brought tears to the eyes of many people.
Shan Zhi stood up, said his final goodbyes, and boarded the team's boat.
Seeing that lascivious Kappa crying with snot and tears all over his face, Solong curled his lips and said with disgust, "It's shameful for a grown man to cry like this."
"What?Be careful or I'll kill you, green-haired boy!"
"Is this the tone you use when talking to the captain?"
"Stop talking nonsense, Luffy said that if I beat you, I will be the captain!"
"Then you'll never be a captain in your life!"
As soon as we got on the boat, the first team became lively.
Luffy laughed and raised his fist:
"Brothers—
"Let's go to where it all began, Windmill Village!"
Na Mei: "Let's go!"
Just as the Straw Hat Pirates were getting ready to head to Windmill Village.
The entrance to the Grand Line, Loge Town.
"What did you say?Infinite teleportation, continuous recovery, and control of lightning?Hawkeye was injured?Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Tina saw it with her own eyes.The Straw Hat Boy has the power to kill you in an instant.Simogle, if you encounter him, let him into the Grand Line."
Listening to Tina's voice coming from the Den Den Mushi, Simoge was speechless.
Because he knows Tina, they are old friends, and Tina never lies!
And according to Tina, this matter has caused a lot of uproar and it will probably reach the top soon.
The authenticity is beyond doubt.
After a long while, Simoge hung up the Den Den Mushi.
The office was quiet.
Until Kapu sat on the sofa, picking his nose and grinning: "My grandson actually beat Hawkeye away?This guy is really good!"
Simoge was speechless: "."
"General Kapu Zhong, what should we do now?We can't really let him into the Grand Line and do whatever he wants, can we?"
Kapu glanced at him sideways."What else can we do?I don't know what kind of shit luck that kid has, but his abilities keep popping up one after another.Can you catch him?"
"We have to catch him even if we can't!As a member of the Hi Army, I can't just watch such a dangerous person sneak into the Grand Line!" After saying that, Simoge got up and left.
When Kapu said in front of him that he wanted to arrest his grandson, the old man could only stare blankly.He felt helpless in his heart and secretly sighed at Simoge's stubborn temper.
With your vision, you still want to climb up?To be in the high army, you need to understand the ways of the world, young man!
But the fact is, when something really happens, who will tell you those nonsense?
At this time, at the Donghai Hi Army branch, the matter of Keko Yaxi Village had not been settled yet, and trouble broke out at the Ballati Restaurant again.
Bombarding the Hi Army warship, killing the captain of the headquarters, killing Clark, fighting with Hawkeye.
"Is this grandson going to heaven?"
The Governor of Donghai knew that this matter could not be covered up.Even if Kapu blames me, I have to report the truth to the Hi Army Headquarters.If I don't report it, I will definitely suffer the consequences in the future!
After receiving the news, the headquarters immediately sent the information to the general's office.
When Chatun saw it, he was dumbfounded!
