"How dare you covet my gold! Believe me, I'll capture you right now and hand you over to the Navy!"

Nami: "Come on, do you think you can catch me?"

Karina: "Nonsense, of course you're no match for me."

........

Just as the two women were about to come to blows, Robin's voice suddenly rang out.

"You two have a really good relationship. Since you're friends, why don't you sit down and have something to eat together?"

"Who's close to her/a friend?!" *2 The two women simultaneously opened their blood-red mouths, revealing mouthfuls of sharp teeth, and angrily retorted.

Seeing this, Robin's smile deepened.

"That's great, you even speak with such perfect understanding."

Nami's chest heaved violently with anger.

This woman was clearly up to no good and was deliberately mocking her. If it weren't for the gold in that man's hand, she would have already lost her temper.

Karina, having already experienced Robin's wicked sense of humor, didn't want to argue with her.

With a haughty flick of her hair, Karina returned to her seat, snuggled up to Bitz, and took his arm.

At the same time, he rolled his eyes at Nami with disdain and waved his hand to shoo her away:

"I don't want to eat at the same table with her. Seeing her will only make me feel nauseous."

"What did you say?!" Nami almost lost her temper again, but when she caught sight of Zoro, Usopp, and the others walking towards them out of the corner of her eye, she swallowed her words.

"Hmph, my companions have arrived. I'll let you off this time, but I'll settle the score with you next time."

As she spoke, she winked at Beetz, then lightly touched her pink lips with her fingertips and blew him a kiss:

"Handsome, if you change your mind, you can come find me. I'm at the table next to you."

After saying that, Nami turned around and went to Zoro and the others. Before they could ask anything, she grabbed them all and dragged them away.

"Hehe~", Kalina stuck out her tongue at Nami's retreating figure, then turned around and put on a pretentious, aggrieved expression, her eyes brimming with tears as she said:

"Lord Bits, you would never abandon the obedient Karina for such a vulgar woman, would you?"

"Hmm... maybe," Bitts gave an ambiguous answer.

He was immediately met with a chorus of eye rolls from the women.

'Ha, men!'

Just as Karina was about to join Vivi in protesting Beetz's philandering behavior, another voice suddenly rang out on the stairs leading to the second floor of the restaurant.

"Hey, who ordered so much food? If you waste it, I'll... Oh wow! Five, five, five... there are five stunning beauties!!!"

The girls turned their heads in the direction of the sound and saw a blond man with curly eyebrows and pink hearts rushing towards them like a whirlwind.

This guy, who clearly wasn't a good person, made all the women instinctively frown and prepare to take action to keep him away from them.

Michita grabbed the parasol next to her, ready to use it, but her movement was stopped a second later.

Michita: 'Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Are you targeting me?'

"Go back to your room and vent your youthful energy by looking at magazines, you brat!"

A loud shout came from the stairwell, followed by a figure dressed in a chef's uniform and wearing an extremely tall chef's hat jumping down from the second floor.

Before Sanji could react, he kicked him hard, sending him flying back the way he came, rolling around on the ground in a sorry state.

But Sanji acted as if nothing had happened, flipping himself up from the ground and yelling at Zeff, his face alternating between pale and flushed:

"What are you talking about, you old geezer? I never did anything like that!"

My new book is launching, and I hope all my bosses and godfathers will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 39 The Saiyan's Appetite!

Even though he did do such a thing, he shouldn't say it in front of the ladies!

Ignoring Sanji's roar, Zeff turned to face Bits.

Looking at the young man in the lead, Zeff's expression gradually became serious.

Unlike those scoundrels on the ship who don't pay attention to the news and are always causing trouble.

Although Zeff had long since retired and become an ordinary chef, he had always kept an eye on the actions of the major powers on the high seas.

He naturally knew Beetz, who rose to fame by stepping on the Seven Warlords of the Sea and is now the most watched supernova on the high seas.

Thinking of the bounty of over 200 million, Zeff couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The strong in this world all have their own distinct personalities.

Zeff wasn't sure if Beetz would lash out and smash up his restaurant because of Sanji's offense.

So, the moment Zeff recognized him, he immediately stopped Sanji to prevent the idiot brat from dying without knowing why.

Ignoring Sanji's taunts, Zeff immediately bowed to Bits and sincerely apologized:

"I'm very sorry, my staff has caused you some trouble."

As compensation, your meals at the restaurant today will be waived, and I will also teach that brat a lesson so he will receive the punishment he deserves.

In short, I, as the head chef and owner, am extremely sorry for the unpleasant experience this had for you all.

wow—— Another uproar erupted in the restaurant. Sanji stared blankly at Zeff's bowed and apologetic back, wondering what had gotten into the old man this time.

"Another person who knows how to be pragmatic. Your politeness makes me feel embarrassed to kill someone."

Bitz sighed softly, his words sending a chill down Zeff's spine, cold sweat soaking his back.

Fortunately, Bitches had no interest in arguing with these minor characters and casually waved them away:

"Get out of here and hurry up and cook my food. I'm starving."

"Many, thank you."

After stammering an apology, Zeff quickly got up and turned to walk upstairs.

"Old man, you..."

"Shut up, you're fired."

Sanji wanted to say something, but Zeff interrupted him directly. Then, without even glancing at Sanji, he walked past him and went straight upstairs.

"Old man!"

Sanji opened his mouth in astonishment; even someone as slow-witted as him could see it at this moment.

The person he almost offended was definitely someone formidable, so much so that even Zeff had to bow down to him.

Sanji, secretly regretting his actions, glanced at Beetz and his group with a complicated expression before quickly turning around and chasing after Zeff's retreating figure.

At the next table, Nami, who had witnessed the entire incident, also thoughtfully withdrew her gaze.

'That guy seems to be someone quite remarkable. No wonder Karina dared to reappear; she's found a powerful backer.'

A distinguished position equates to extraordinary wealth, coupled with Beetz's lecherous nature, which involves having women on both sides.

Na Mei's beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and she began to fantasize about the wonderful scene of deceiving him so much that he would willingly hand over his wealth.

Bored, Zoro leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head, and also took in the recent conflict.

He glanced sideways at Nami, who was lost in thought and grinning foolishly beside him, and couldn't help but remind her:

"Hey, that guy is no ordinary nobody. I advise you not to mess with him, or you'll suffer the consequences."

"What?!"

Nami turned her head with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling and reflecting the Beli pattern, making Zoro's lips twitch.

'Hopeless, that money-grubbing idiot woman.'

........

This little incident did not spoil the good mood of Beetz and the others during their meal.

As soon as the first dish was served, Bitz's eyes lit up after taking a bite, and he immediately began to devour the rice.

The sea restaurant Baratie truly lived up to its reputation, managing to keep up with the Saiyans' enormous appetites by serving up a series of exquisite dishes, each with its own unique color, aroma, and flavor, before Bitz finished the food on the table.

The restaurant's guests were all enjoying their food and chatting with their partners.

But soon, they were all drawn to Bitts, who was eating like a whirlwind.

As the empty plates piled up on the table, the diners quickly went from watching the spectacle to being utterly astonished.

Then came the enthusiastic onlookers, cheering on Bitz and speculating whether it was him who couldn't eat first or the chefs in the kitchen who collapsed first.

Later, the shy Vivi and the other girls even set up a separate table, giving the entire table to Bitz.

While quietly enjoying their meal, they whispered among themselves whether Bitz's meal would bankrupt Baratie.

In the kitchen, Sanji and the other chefs, who had stayed despite Zeff's attempts to drive them away, were experiencing a bittersweet mix of pain and pleasure.

This was the first time they had ever encountered such a voracious eater, and it was an unprecedented and unique challenge in their culinary careers that brought them genuine joy.

With a satisfied smile, Sanji deftly flipped the spatula in his hands, and loudly encouraged his companions:

"You bastards, give it your all! Don't let the guests look down on Barrati!"

"Oh, come on, my culinary soul is already burning!"

"Move faster! How can we fall behind our guests' dining speed? Balati's chefs are the best in all of Donghai!"

This time, boss Zeff cooked himself, a rare occurrence. Listening to the noisy brats around him, he smiled and forgot the fear that Bitt's identity brought him. He only wanted to prove himself and Bitt to be the best.

And so, the restaurant staff, both busy with cooking and eating, enjoyed themselves immensely.

The only one who suffered was the restaurant's only handyman—Straw Hat Luffy.

Under the threat from boss Zeff that "if you steal a bite, you'll have to work an extra day at the restaurant," Luffy could only watch the plates of delicious food and drool, and he even had to run up and down the stairs to deliver the food to Bits, watching helplessly as the other person ate with gusto.

This was worse than death for the gluttonous Luffy, and he almost had the urge to steal a bite several times.

Several times, he only managed to suppress his anger after seeing his companions waiting in the restaurant.

My new book is launching, and I hope all my bosses and godfathers will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful."

'No, I want to go out to sea with everyone. Just bear with it a little longer!'

He kept telling himself to stop, but drool was already uncontrollably seeping from his mouth.

Bitz had already realized that the waiter who served her food was our protagonist—Wang Lufei.

Originally, the famous Straw Hat Luffy, who was destined to be one of the Four Emperors or even the Pirate King, was serving himself tea and food, and he seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.

But when he saw the drool that was unconsciously overflowing from Luffy's mouth, that thought immediately vanished.

He tore off a piece of the unknown sea monster's meat, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it.

Bits glared at Luffy, whose drool was practically dripping onto his plate, and angrily snapped:

"Hey, you handyman, watch your drool! If you dare drop any into my food, believe me, I'll kill you right now!"

Luffy stood dumbfounded in front of Beetz's table, casually wiped his mouth upon hearing this, and swallowed hard.

"I'm not a handyman, I'm going to be the Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy."

"The Pirate King wouldn't drool over someone else's plate."

Bits chuckled, twirled a large clump of fried noodles with his fork, stuffed it into his mouth, and then squinted his eyes with a blissful expression, making Luffy almost lose control and rush over to snatch the food from him.

"What are you looking at? Can't you see I'm almost finished eating? Go get more food!"

Wiping his drool, Luffy reluctantly turned around and continued working.

"Hey, helper, these empty plates on my desk are in the way, move them away for me."

"Hey kid in the straw hat, go get me another bottle of wine, the best of the best, and I don't have to pay for it."
