Chapter 56 Golden Beard (Happy New Year~!!!)
Sea Restaurant·Bharati.

One of the most famous restaurants in Donghai!

As a food place that is very famous even for the entire East China Sea, there is an endless stream of ships passing here every day, transporting a large number of diners here.

There are even many people who have traveled thousands of miles to come here from all over the world or the Grand Line just to taste the delicious dishes of Boss Zhepu.

You can imagine how popular it is!

And if they want to survive on this sea, good food alone is obviously not enough for them to cope with the various religions and streams that come and go.

In addition to [delicious food], another feature of Barati on the Sea is the fierce [combat] element of folk customs!
From the boss Zhepu to the waiters serving plates, no one is easy to deal with here.

Because those weak guys have long been scared away by the terrifying environment in Barati and left here to find more stable jobs.

……

……

Snapped!
It's exactly noon, the busiest time for Barati's business.

An extremely ordinary slipper suddenly kicked open the door of Balati.

Then a young man wearing a straw hat walked in with a big smile on his face.

"Hiss~~! It smells so good!!!"

As soon as he walked into the restaurant, Luffy's nose instantly expanded, greedily inhaling the aroma of the food in the restaurant, and his eyes became golden like Nami seeing treasure.

Seeing that there was an empty table next to the door, he didn't care about anything else and sat down on it. He immediately called to his friends at the door of the restaurant and greeted the waiter.

"Red, Zoro, this way, this way!!!"

“Waiter, serve us quickly!!!”

Luffy, who couldn't wait to enjoy the food, shouted loudly, instantly breaking the noble and elegant atmosphere in the restaurant.

Some diners who were enjoying their food quietly frowned for a moment.

“Really, can’t Bharati set some entry criteria?”

"Everyone is allowed in, it really affects the food!"

"There's no way, it's like this on the sea, there are people of all qualities..."

"........."

Whispering sounds echoed from all over the corners of the restaurant.

But at this moment, a trembling voice that was about to cry to death suddenly came:
"Hey! Look...then...isn't that...that man!?"

The trembling voice hesitated for a long time, but still did not dare to say the name.

But his move undoubtedly attracted the attention of other diners.

Many people turned back and looked in the direction of the door.

then……

Bang~……

The sound of various cutlery, forks and dishes clashing together sounded one after another, making it very noisy.

But the entire hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's expressions froze at this moment, and they were unanimous...

Their pupils suddenly dilated, and their eyes showed horror as they looked at the figure at the door, and time seemed to have stopped.

At this moment, even the sound of breathing became so heavy and harsh to them.

Until one of the more daring diners started muttering quietly.

"It's...it's Straw Hat!!!"

"The big pirate who was offered a bounty of 5000 Baileys by the World Government!!!"

And his voice seemed to be contagious, instantly breaking the silent atmosphere in the restaurant, but making it even weirder.

Everyone immediately turned around and picked up their knives and forks again with trembling hands and feet, trying their best to pretend that they had discovered nothing.

But the fear and fear in their eyes cannot be concealed no matter what.

For people who can afford to come here to eat, it is impossible for them not to know about the big event that has caused a sensation in the entire East China Sea in the past few days!
The great pirate who attacked the Navy branch and openly insulted the Navy at the Navy branch, and was offered a bounty of 5000 Baileys - Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat boy! ! !

At this moment, all of them were blocked by this big pirate! ! !

The only escape route has been cut off, and no one knows what their next fate will be.

Suddenly, the entire hall was enveloped in a sad atmosphere.

Fortunately, at this time, a tall and thick man noticed the abnormality in the atmosphere, and also saw the iconic straw hat on Luffy's head.

A look of fear also flashed in his eyes.

But the next second, he immediately walked over with a flattering look on his face, rubbed his hands and smiled:
"Welcome, Mr. Customer, I am Paddy, the temporary waiter here."

"What would you like to order?"

Luffy had no idea how much psychological pressure his random actions had caused to everyone.

He looked like a silly son of a landowner, picked up the tableware on the table and started to beat it:

"Anything is fine! As long as it's delicious! I'm hungry!! Can the food be served quickly!!!"

"I understand!...I understand!"

Paddy nodded immediately, but then his expression changed and he asked again:
"Although it is very presumptuous, our store does not welcome paupers. May I ask this customer, do you have money?"

"Ah?"

Luffy kept his eyes open, thinking back to the pocket money confiscated by Nami because of his lavish spending...

His whole demeanor instantly softened.

But before he could answer, a voice came from behind Paddy:
"If it's money, we'll pay it."

Red smiled and walked past Paddy, leading the Straw Hats, Johnny and Joseph to sit down one after another.

Then he smiled gently at Paddy:
"Don't worry, we won't be freeloaders."

"But the way we pay may be a little special..."

With a signal from their red eyes, Johnny and Joseph immediately raised their hands and threw the drugged Zangao and the catman brothers to the ground. Then Chihong took out two pieces of bounty money and handed them to Paddy and said with a smile:

"These three people are the bounty criminals of the Black Cat Pirates, and together they have a bounty of 1600W Bailey."

"Excluding the errand fees, 1500W Bailey should be enough for us to eat here for a few days, right?"

"Enough! Enough!!!"

After comparing the reward order with the three people on the ground, Paddy's ferocious face suddenly opened into a scary smile!

Because naval admirals often come here to dine, exchanging bounties is not a troublesome matter for them.

And although Barati's charging standard is not low, 1500W Bailey is enough to cover the entire restaurant's turnover for several days.

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment. I will ask the chef to prepare food for the gentlemen!!!"

"Sea Restaurant Barati, I guarantee your satisfaction!"

Paddy easily picked up the three bounty prisoners with one hand, said respectfully to Chi Hong and the others, and immediately stepped back.

And looking at the back of him who couldn't help laughing when he left, Chi Hong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and snickered.

"You have to keep your word, waiter!"

1500W Bailey?

If you buy the ingredients alone, it will definitely be enough for Luffy to eat for a long time.

But if you are living in Bharati, which has a very high consumption level...

A smirk appeared deep in his red eyes, and he and his friends immediately took their seats.

Perhaps Luffy's identity gave them some privileges. Within a few minutes, plates of fragrant food were brought to them by Paddy and other fierce-looking waiters.

To be able to become a famous tourist attraction in the entire East China Sea, the craftsmanship of the Barati chefs cannot be overemphasized.

Everyone was extremely satisfied with this meal.

The two non-staff members, Johnny and Joseph, were so moved that they almost cried.

With the strength of the two of them, they have little chance to spend money in such a high-end place.

And when everyone was having enough wine and food, only Luffy was still showing off...

A chef wearing a tall chef's hat, one foot replaced by a wooden prosthetic, and two golden twists of beard walked over.

"Hello everyone, I am the owner of this store and the chef here, Zhepu. Are you satisfied with today's dishes?"

When he learned that a big pirate with a bounty of 5000 million was coming, even a veteran like Zhepu could not contain his excitement. After completing his duties, he immediately came to the lobby to find out.

Although judging from Paddy's description, this group of people does not look like they are looking for trouble.

But in the East China Sea, where a bounty of 2000W Bailey is enough to frighten a quarter of the world, the gold content of 5000W Bailey is really too terrifying!

"Satisfied...wuwuwu...very satisfied."

"Uncle! The food here is really great!!!"

After Luffy, who was eating so much, heard that the person who came was the chef here, he took out a rare hand and gave him a thumbs up.

It shows how much he likes this meal.

And seeing how enthusiastic the diners were about the dishes he created, the chef Zhepu also smiled with satisfaction.

"As long as you are satisfied! As long as you are satisfied!"

"I didn't expect that my small shop would be favored by big shots like you. It seems that our business will become more and more prosperous in the future~!"

Zep laughed.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he took the opportunity to show that he already knew the identities of Luffy and others, as a way of showing goodwill and not wanting to get into trouble.

But just after he finished speaking, Chi Hong raised the corner of his mouth:
"Oh? Boss Zhepu, do you care about the quality of your business?"

"Then I wonder if you are interested in making this store's name even more famous~"

"Loud enough...enough for the world to know?"

"Huh?" Zhepu raised his eyebrows and looked at Chihong with some confusion.

But at this time, Chihong gently pulled Luffy's shoulder, stood up on his own initiative, and saluted Zhepu like a gentleman:

"Introduce yourself, Boss Zhepu."

"I'm Red, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Actually, besides enjoying the delicious food, we have one more important thing to do here today."

With that said, Red patted Luffy on the back.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes~!"

At his reminder, Luffy suddenly remembered something, holding the steak in one hand and a drink in the other, chewing and saying:
"The food here is so delicious, I almost forgot..."

"Uncle Golden Beard, Chihong said you have a very good chef here, he seems to be called a sandwich..."

"It just so happens that my pirate team is still missing a chef!"

"We came here specially to find him this time!"

"I want him to be our partner and go on adventures with us on the Grand Line!!!"

The shiny Luffy smiled sincerely.

It should obviously be a very funny scene...

But after seeing Luffy's expression, two familiar and unfamiliar words instantly flashed through Zhepu's mind as he retreated from the Grand Line...

Fearless... and ambitious! ! !

 Ahahaha~ More updates are coming~
  There are a lot of things going on these two days, so the update time may have to be moved to the evening. I hope everyone will understand~! ! !
