MTL - Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers-v2 Chapter 372 The Straw Hat Pirates Appear

After the rain, the sea returned to calm.

A small Caravel with a cute sheep's head on its bow was rippling among the waves. The previously stowed sails were slowly unfolding, and the sails were painted with skeletons in straw hats.

There is no doubt that this is a pirate ship.

A group of people were lying on the deck, looking exhausted. After a long time, a black-haired boy who was not very tall sat up from the wet deck, touched the straw hat above his head and laughed:

"Hee hee hee! It was almost overturned by the storm!"

"Luffy! How dare you say it!" The beautiful girl with long lavender hair tied behind her head grabbed the collar of the boy named Luffy and poked the latter's forehead hard: "If it weren't for you If we have to steer willfully, how can we be caught in a storm and cannot escape!"

"Uh... uh... Karina, don't stab me in the head... it doesn't hurt though."

Luffy's forehead was dented like a rubber by the purple-haired girl. He grinned and said, "There is absolutely no problem with my level at the helm. It can only be said that there is a problem with the path that Zoro points to."

"You know that green algae head is a super idiot, but you dare to let him lead the way?" Karina was even more angry: "You didn't say this when you let me on board as a [musician]. The ship has no navigators!"

At this moment, a head with short green hair appeared from the side: "Someone want to ask for directions?"

"Nobody asked you!" Luffy and Karina shouted at the same time.

There was another person still lying on the deck. This person was covered in black curly hair, wearing a headscarf and goggles. His thin body looked weak and he had a strange long nose. He muttered to himself with a lost face: "A pirate group without navigators... What the **** did I do to get into this pirate group with a fever..."

At this time, the slender and hot Karina made a decision: "Before finding a regular navigator, the navigation of this ship is handed over to me, and you and Zoro are not allowed to interfere!"

The green-haired youth known as Zoro had fully opened the sails at this time, and after tying up the cables, he walked over to the crowd and sat down: "It doesn't matter, we need a cook more than a navigator, right?"

"That's right! It's cruel to eat dry bread and bacon every day!" The long nose sprang up from the deck.

"Oh, Usopp, you didn't faint." Luffy clasped his nostrils with a cute look on his face.

"Thanks to you, almost!" Usopp grimaced, then shook his long nose: "The composition of our ship is really partial. Captain, swordsman, musician, sniper... The most important thing is There are no navigators, cooks, or doctors."

"There are also boatmen." Karina added: "If it's just the East China Sea, I can barely serve as a navigator, but I heard that the climate of the Great Sea Route is completely different from that of the East China Sea, and we must find high-level navigators to join us. "

Usopp sat on the deck with his arms folded and nodded solemnly, and then asked curiously, "Speaking of which... Karina, why did you get pulled in by Luffy?"

Karina looked sad: "I was a resident singer in a pub in Orange Town at that time, and I made a lot of money including tips and drinks. I didn't expect that the Bucky Pirates invaded and occupied Orange Town. My The singer's career was also shattered. Luffy and Zoro came here just as Bucky 'The Joker' was ravaging the town and clashed with Bucky, the big red-nosed idiot..."

"Obviously you instigated it." Zoro, who was sitting against the mast with his hands behind his head, couldn't help but remind him.

"Long-winded!" Karina yelled at Zoro, and continued: "After we defeated the Bucky Pirates together, we happened to meet the navy, and I was hunted down as an accomplice of the Straw Hat Pirates, so I only I can agree to Luffy's invitation to join."

Usopp wiped his long nose: "So Sauron joined earlier than you. What about you, Sauron, how did you join?"

"I..." Zoro pondered for a while when he was about to open his mouth when Luffy interrupted him with a smile: "This big idiot Zoro wanted to join a hunting guild, but he got lost after going to sea, and finally ran to Shields Town had a big fight with the local navy colonel and the stupid son. That stupid son was too bad and wanted to kill Zoro, so I teamed up with Zoro to knock them all away hehe!"

"...what a mess." Usopp said he didn't understand at all.

Gollum —

There was a sound from the stomachs of the four of them at the same time, all except Luffy's faces darkened, and they had to face the moldy dry bread and the hard bacon. But Luffy doesn't care, as long as there is something to eat.

Just as Karina was about to get up and go to the kitchen, she suddenly stopped and squinted her eyes to look at the sea in the distance: "Wait, what is that?"

Everyone looked back and saw a strange looking [boat] on the sea in the distance.

This is a giant two-masted sailboat with a three-layer structure. The bow and stern are the shapes of fish heads and fish tails, which look very stylish.

"Sea Restaurant 'Barati'? Why did you come here without a start?"

Karina looked surprised, and immediately reacted that it might have been disrupted by the previous huge storm and brought to this sea area by the storm and waves.

"Dining room?"

Luffy was keenly aware of the key words, and his eyes flashed instantly: "This is a restaurant? A restaurant on the sea? So cool!"

Saying that, he was about to run to the helm and sail towards the restaurant ship, but Karina stopped him immediately, looking a little flustered: "Luffy, you can't go."

"Ah——?" Luffy dragged his voice, his face full of reluctance.

"It is rumored that Barati, the restaurant at sea, has something to do with 'coral'." Karina's face was serious: "It's not that there are no pirates who want to make trouble there and seize the ship, but without exception they all die. Few pirates would visit that restaurant."

"Coral?" Zoro's arm stiffened, as if he had remembered something.

"We don't plan to make trouble over there, just have a meal! Right? Right?" Luffy didn't listen at all, just looked at Karina expectantly. The latter was directly defeated by his eager puppy eyes, so he had to let him go. Who let Luffy be the captain?

When they sailed the ship to the vicinity of the sea restaurant Barati, they found that there was also a small naval warship moored there, and it seemed that they were also here to enjoy the food.

Karina is not too worried about this, because Barati is a famous 'neutral area', who would dare to ask the fierce battle chefs beforehand if they agree or not, even if the navy meets pirates here It will also open one eye and close the other, at least until it leaves this sea area before starting. The bounty hunters are bound by the rules and will not do anything casually here. Tourists can enjoy delicious food here without worrying about their safety.

After opening the door, the elegantly decorated first-floor restaurant was greeted with almost no empty seats. The waiters shuttled between the tables with their plates, and introduced the restaurant's recommended recipes to the customers in a gentle and low voice. Bottles of fine wine are placed in ice piles for refrigeration, the aroma of food fills the entire hall, and the sound of knives and forks hitting the ears of the hungry is particularly pleasant.

Who would have thought this was still at sea?

Luffy's eyes were about to pop out, if it wasn't for Zoro and Karina holding him tightly, I'm afraid he would have rushed in to find a seat.

"Welcome, customers. This is Barati, the restaurant on the sea, and we will serve you the most delicious meal no matter who comes."

The blond curly-browed young man in a black suit rubbed his chest with one hand and bowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth with a cigarette in his mouth. But before this calm and steady appearance lasted for two seconds, his eyes were firmly attracted by Karina, and his right eye, which was not covered by the blonde hair, exaggeratedly turned into a peach heart:

"Ah! The sea! Thank you for letting me meet her today! Ah! Love! Please make fun of me who is suffering in pain! If I can be with her, even if it is to be a pirate or a demon, I will Also willingly!"

First it was a sour chanting opera, and then the blond young man gently lifted Karina's slender hand gracefully and led her to an vacant dining table and opened the seat for her, and said softly:

"The dishes I recommend for you today are the assorted fruit salad I made by myself, and the citrus liqueur. I hope you like it, Your Royal Highness. Oh yes, please forgive me for not introducing myself, I am here. Sanji, the sous chef."

"You are really a gentleman, as elegant as a prince." Karina's voice is as sweet as a tactful lark, which is her capital as a top singer: "But His Royal Highness..."

"Yes~www.novelbuddy.com~ please say."

"The dishes here may be a little expensive for others..." Karina flipped through the recipe, then looked at Sanji shyly.

"Of course it's free!" Sanji replied immediately without saying a word.

Zoro's attention was focused on Sanji's waist, and he asked, "The one on your waist is..."

Luffy and Usopp looked over and found that Sanji's black suit was tied with a beautiful calfskin gun bag at the waist, and a gorgeous black revolver was quietly placed in it.

"[Hunter]'s gun?" Karina was so well-informed that she turned pale in shock.

Zoro held the three samurai swords around his waist with an excited look on his face: "Only an official [Hunter] can have a revolver of this style... Are you a [Hunter]?"

Sanji smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Are you pirates? Don't worry, my revolver has a fair and honest origin, but I am not a [Hunter], but the sous chef of this sea restaurant Barati, so I do my best. Don't worry."

"Oh? This kind of revolver is specially made for each [hunter] and has its own serial number. Do you want to say that this gun was given to you by someone else?" Zoro didn't let his guard down, it was because of the [hunter] ]'s name is too terrifying, and every [Hunter] is said to be a terrifyingly powerful monster.

Sanji smiled when he heard the words:

"You're right, it was indeed given to me by someone else."
