"One Piece, where's my soup? Go and hurry up and ask him to come."

.....

Watching the captain running around in circles, being teased by Bits, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, and the others at the next table all covered their faces, looking ashamed to be seen.

"What is that idiot doing? Has he forgotten that he's a pirate?"

This is already the umpteenth time Zoro has complained about this team.

An idiot captain, a money-grubbing navigator, and a boastful sniper.

Why did he join this team in the first place? Does this kind of team really have a future?

Usopp and Nami had completely buried their heads in the plates and were no longer speaking.

Usopp was timid and dared not speak for fear of attracting the attention of that man who looked dangerous.

Nami, on the other hand, was afraid that Karina would find out that the handyman who was bossed around by her backer was actually her family's captain.

Nami glanced furtively at Karina, who was chatting and laughing with Robin. She couldn't even imagine how Karina would laugh at her if she found out about this.

Karina, sensing that someone was watching her, turned her head alertly.

Upon seeing that the person looking at her was the annoying Nami, she snorted coldly and then raised her glass to her with a smug look.

The wine swirling in the glass was a bottle of expensive red wine worth 6 to 70 pesetas, a wine that the poor little thief cat could never afford in his lifetime.

Clenching her fist and barely suppressing the urge to punch Karina in the face, Nami turned her attention back to the plate in front of her.

"How arrogant! When did that vixen become so smug in provoking me?"

Karina, you just wait, I'll make you pay!

Usopp glanced at it casually out of the corner of his eye and was so shocked that he almost spat out the food in his mouth.

Look at the tablecloth and the solid wood table, both marked with five 'claw marks' by Nami's sharp fingers.

He couldn't help but swallow hard, silently praying for the unlucky guy who had offended Nami.

..........

While everyone in the restaurant was captivated by the 'big eater' Beetz.

Unbeknownst to them, a massive leopard-headed warship was gradually approaching the restaurant.

Nami, who didn't want to see Karina's smug expression, turned to look at the scenery outside the window and waited until the warship stopped outside the restaurant before noticing Karina.

"Hey!! What, what is that?! What's that flag?!"

Upon seeing the flag she had only ever seen in newspapers, Nami's face turned deathly pale.

Her exclamation finally drew the attention of the other guests.

When they followed her gaze to the window, many of them behaved even worse than Nami.

A plump merchant looked terrified and took several steps back. Finally, he tripped over a chair behind him and fell heavily to the ground.

But he no longer cared about the minor bump; his finger trembled as he pointed out the window and cried out in alarm:

"Yes, it's the Krieg Pirates! I have no mistake, that flag is the flag of the Krieg Pirates who slaughtered our entire ship of merchants!"

"It's terrible! Admiral Krieg is here! That's the terrifying man with 5000 men under his command, known as the overlord of the East China Sea!"

"Why? Why are the Krieg Pirates here?!"

The mere sight of a flag was enough to terrify everyone in the restaurant, leaving them completely disoriented and losing all sense of reason.

The noise downstairs even caught the attention of the chefs upstairs, and several heads popped out from the stairwell.

Upon hearing that the Krieg Pirates had arrived at their restaurant, the chefs' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly shrank back to inform the kitchen staff.

"It's so noisy, it's just a broken-down ship, what's there to be afraid of?"

Michita initially thought some important person had arrived, but when she straightened up and looked outside, she immediately curled her lip in disappointment and said disdainfully.

"Yeah, why is Crick's ship so dilapidated, and why is there only one ship that came?"

Michita's words were a wake-up call. The group, who had just lost their composure due to Creek's terrifying reputation, finally took notice.

What arrived was less a warship and more a wooden frame that could barely float on the sea.

The pirate ship was completely damaged; not only were its sails tattered and unable to sail far, but the hull was also broken in many places, as if it might sink into the sea at any moment.

Just as everyone was whispering and sharing their guesses, a tall, dark figure walked past the window, startling everyone into silence.

Bitz slowed his movements a few seconds, glancing at the doorway out of the corner of his eye.

'I just happened to run into him. That guy Creek is truly the unluckiest of the unlucky.'

As the restaurant doors opened, the story unfolded just like in the original novel.

But Bitz had no interest in dealing with this minor character. He calmed himself down and spread his senses. Sure enough, he sensed a powerful aura heading towards Baratie.

'Huh? Why is there another force behind us? Who's 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."

In Bitz's perception, two fairly good streams of energy appeared to the northwest and southwest of Baratie.

One of the stronger ones should be Hawkeye.

The other one, with slightly weaker energy and surrounded by many even weaker energy sources, appears to be a large ship based on its numbers.

This puzzled Beetz: in the original story, besides Hawkeye and Creek, who else had visited Baratie at this point in time?

Moreover, the intensity of this energy doesn't seem to belong to the East China Sea at all.

Although he had long anticipated that his arrival might have a butterfly effect, Bitts did not expect the changes to come so quickly.

'This is interesting. Besides Hawkeye, someone else is actually offering themselves up to help me gain fame.'

... 2 Wife Durian (Nine) Doctor's Pickpocket..............

While Bitts was wondering who the newcomer would be, something was also happening inside the restaurant.

Just like in the original story, Akin brought his captain to Baratie, hoping to get enough food.

Although the restaurant's guests and the chefs who rushed out of the kitchen after hearing the commotion all wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the wicked Creek.

Having experienced the pain of hunger, Sanji, out of a chef's integrity, served food to Krieg despite everyone's objections.

And naturally, Krieg, having eaten and drunk his fill, immediately and enthusiastically 'repaid' his benefactor Sanji.

With a powerful blast of lightning, Sanji was sent flying backward, crashing into several dining tables.

This is the second time Sanji has been knocked away today.

And coincidentally, he landed right at Bitz's feet.

If Bitts hadn't stopped him by stepping on his foot first, his own table would have been overturned.

Despite regaining his strength, Krieg had no idea that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have.

Looking at these weaklings who trembled at the mere sight of him, Creek let out a disdainful sneer from the bottom of his heart, along with a twisted sense of pride in the strong bullying the weak.

But all that disdain and pride vanished when he saw the Queens, including Beetz and Robin, still sitting motionless at the two adjacent dining tables, eating heartily and chatting in hushed tones. In their place came anger at being looked down upon.

"Drink!"

"Crack!"

Krieg roared, smashing the table beside him to pieces. He then ripped off his outer garment, revealing golden armor beneath, and yelled at Bitz and the others:

"You lot, you can actually eat so peacefully in front of me, Admiral Creek. It seems you've got quite the nerve."

"Do you think you can act with impunity just because my men aren't here?! Answer me!"

"Who is this guy? He's been chattering away for ages."

Michita was very displeased and asked the people around her about Creek's background.

Tina leaned back, resting one hand on the back of the chair, and sized up Krick. Her sharp eyes gleamed as she slowly spoke:

"Tina remembers him, the captain of the Krieg Pirates, the 'Admiral' Krieg with a bounty of 1700 million Berries."

Karina, who hails from the East Blue, added, "This guy has 50 ships and 5000 men; he's a true great pirate, the overlord of the East Blue!"

"A great pirate with a bounty of 1700 million? The overlord of the East Blue?"

Michita looked surprised, then burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

"Hahaha, this kind of stuff can be worth 1700 million, and it's the overlord of the East China Sea."

What's wrong with this sea area? It's so low-class!

The girl's laughter instantly silenced the air in the restaurant. Everyone looked at the girls as if they were crazy, not understanding how they could laugh at a time like this.

Creek's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his tall body trembled slightly, like a volcano about to erupt.

Even Weiwei couldn't help but speak up to offer advice.

"Mickey, you'd better say less. That guy looks like he's about to get angry."

Before Michita could answer, Creek's cold voice rang out.

"No, I'm angry! You've successfully angered me! You'd all die!"

The next moment, more than ten gun barrels appeared on his shoulders, waist, and hands, all aimed at Michita and the women around him.

Seeing this, everyone closed their eyes in fear. Among the Straw Hat crew, Usopp hid under the table with his hands covering his head, while Zoro's hands were already gripping the hilt of his sword.

Nami cursed "idiot" inwardly, looking anxiously at Karina who had been affected by that blonde "stupid woman."

Just when everyone thought the women were about to die on the spot, their lives cut short.

Michita stopped smirking, used her powers to eliminate her own weight, and leaped off the chair at an incredible speed.

Before anyone, including Creek, could react, he leaped onto his head.

"Let me show you, a country bumpkin from the East Blue, the strength of the powerful beings of the Grand Line."

Moonwalk, 10, 000 kilograms, Guillotine!

Only then did Creek react, stiffly raising his head.

But the words 'Grand Line' seemed to possess some kind of magic, freezing him in place and rendering his body unable to move.

Of course, it's also possible that Michita is simply too fast, and his reaction time can't keep up.

In short, all the people saw was the girl's long, smooth, white legs being raised high before falling heavily to the ground.

The heel of the pure white pointed high heel struck Creek squarely on the head.

The immense force, combined with Michita's own strength, caused Krieg's eyes to bulge out of their sockets, seemingly about to explode from his face at any moment.

Even a tall body couldn't withstand the immense pressure coming from above.

With a sharp crack, Creek lost his balance and slammed face-first into the floor with a loud thud.

"Boom!!!"

The entire Baratie seemed to shake violently as if an earthquake had struck.

Everyone grabbed onto the tables and chairs around them to steady themselves and avoid falling.

But no one had time to panic over such a small matter. Instead, everyone immediately turned their attention to Creek, whose upper body was embedded in the floor and who was no longer moving.

And then there was the blonde girl who turned around with an air of nonchalance, her demeanor as elegant as if she were casually dealing with a piece of trash.

"How... how is this possible? That Admiral Krieg was taken down by a little girl!"

"And, moreover, he defeated that Krieg with just one move."

"Just who are they?!"

Even the most oblivious person could tell at this point that Bitts and his group were no ordinary people.

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.

"Wow, that's incredible! Karina's partner actually has this kind of strength?!"
