Chapter 236

The head chef's eyes instantly widened.

She hurriedly said:

"But, my lord Snake Princess, you have never entered the kitchen before!"

"It doesn't matter; I can learn right now!"

"Whatever I do is fine, because I am simply too beautiful."

Under Hancock's beauty and the power of the Mero Mero no Mi,

the head chef decisively yielded,

saying with a look of infatuation:

"That's right; if it is my lord Snake Princess, you certainly can!"

Afterwards,

Hancock confidently flicked her hair,

turned around, and shoved Li Xiao out the door,

saying:

"Wait outside for me; rest assured, I will cook the ingredients for you very soon!"

As her words fell,

Hancock slammed the door shut with a bang!

Not long after,

the sound of pots, pans, and bowls clattering came from the kitchen!

Hmm...

What dish would make pots, pans, and bowls clatter so loudly...

The answer is...

Not knowing how to cook!

Having been a veteran "kitchen demolisher" in his past life,

Li Xiao was very familiar with this sound;

it was clearly the frantic scrambling of pots, pans, and bowls everywhere!

Besides that,

loud explosions occasionally came from the room,

mixed with the screams of Hancock and the head chef;

Li Xiao could even vaguely see flickering flames through the cracks in the wall!

Listening to the commotion inside,

Li Xiao stood motionless outside the door,

expressionless,

silent for a long time!

This commotion

really resembled Li Xiao's situation in the kitchen during his past life!

If this were on Blue Star right now,

as expected,

the firefighters would be working soon...

Even if the commotion inside grew even louder,

Li Xiao was not at all worried about Hancock's safety;

after all, she was one of the Seven Warlords;

even if the house exploded, she would be fine!

In comparison,

Li Xiao was more worried about the ingredients he had left inside the room...

Fortunately!

Fortunately, he had not taken out too much at once!

After a long while,

the commotion inside the room finally gradually decreased,

until it completely vanished,

returning once again to utter silence!

Afterwards,

the door opened,

and a tall figure walked out from inside,

who was none other than Hancock!

She was seen bowing her head,

her hands clasped behind her back,

like a child who had done something wrong,

not even daring to look up at Li Xiao once!

Seeing this,

Li Xiao spoke and asked:

"What's wrong? If you really can't do it, you don't have to force yourself — those ingredients really are rather special, after all!"

Hearing this,

Hancock slowly raised her head,

her face full of grievance, and said:

"I'm sorry, I, I don't know how to cook!"

Seeing Hancock's face,

Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh!

On that incomparably beautiful face,

patches of black ash were now smeared here and there,

making her look just like a wild little calico cat!

Li Xiao stepped forward two paces,

attached spiritual energy to his fingertips,

and wiped the black ash from Hancock's face,

then patted her head,

and said with a smile:

"It's fine, no need to force yourself — I was just asking in passing!"

"If we can't handle it here, I can go somewhere else and find someone else to handle the cooking!"

While speaking,

Li Xiao couldn't resist rubbing Hancock's head again!

Mm,

it felt different from Nami's,

but just as pleasant!

Tch!

Li Xiao suddenly realized,

ever since coming to the Pirate World,

he had developed a bit of a head-rubbing addiction!

Seeing Hancock still looking rather self-reproachful,

Li Xiao hurriedly changed the subject and asked:

"Right, do you have any Log Posees for other places here? An Alabasta permanent pointer would be best!"

Hearing this,
