Chapter 76

In fact,

what she said just now was already quite tactful!

If Hancock weren't present,

she probably wouldn't have been able to help but complain loudly!

Magical?

More than just magical!

What kind of ingredients are these!

Look at this lobster!

Just by its size,

if it were still alive,

who knows if it would eat me or I would eat it!

The shrimp is so big,

it can't even fit in a pot!

However,

compared to other ingredients,

she could barely accept this lobster,

after all, it was just a bit larger in size!

But what the hell is this crab,

it's flattened to what extent!

It's like a piece of paper!

Is there even meat to eat?

What,

did it die on a female crab's belly?

And also,

look at this fish of yours!

How long has it been left out,

it's even grown wings!

What kind of magical species are these!

Are you sure these are really proper ingredients?

Seeing this,

Li Xiao rubbed his temples helplessly!

Sorry,

I take back my previous evaluation!

The chefs of the Calm Belt might indeed have some skills,

but facing the Sky Island ingredients brought by Li Xiao,

they were ultimately powerless!

They can skillfully handle Sea Kings,

but they cannot handle those specialty ingredients from the Sky Island,

this is probably a mismatch of expertise!

However,

hearing the chef big sister say she couldn't handle or cook these ingredients,

Hancock was suddenly anxious!

This was the first time Li Xiao had made a request of her,

how could it not work!

Wouldn't this make her lose face in front of Li Xiao?

Thinking of this,

Hancock immediately shouted:

"No! You can't say you can't! You must cook this meal for Li Xiao!"

"If it really doesn't work, let me do it myself!"

Hearing this,

the chef big sister widened her eyes,

and quickly said:

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

"It doesn't matter, I can learn on the spot!"

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

Under Hancock's beauty and the power of the Love-Love Fruit,

the chef big sister decisively surrendered,

and said with a look of infatuation:

"That's right, if it's the Snake Princess, it will definitely be fine!"

Subsequently,

Hancock tossed her hair with confidence,

turned around and pushed Li Xiao out the door,

and said:

"You just wait for me outside, don't worry, I will help you cook the ingredients well very soon!"

After the words fell,

Hancock slammed the door shut with a bang!

Not long after,

a sound of pots and pans colliding came from inside the kitchen!

Hmm...

What kind of cooking would make pots and pans collide with such a loud sound...

The answer is...

Not knowing how to cook!

As a veteran "kitchen blaster" in his previous life,

Li Xiao was very familiar with this sound,

it was clearly the sound of being flustered and making a mess of pots and pans everywhere!

Besides that,

from time to time, a violent explosion would come from the room,

mixed with the screams of Hancock and the chef big sister,

and Li Xiao even saw firelight flickering through the cracks in the wall!

Listening to the commotion inside the room,

Li Xiao stood outside the door motionless,

expressionless,

and remained silent for a long time!

This commotion,

really looked exactly like Li Xiao's situation in the kitchen in his previous life!

If this were on the Blue Planet,

as expected,

the firefighters would be working soon...

Even if the commotion inside the room was loud,

Li Xiao wasn't worried about Hancock's safety at all,

after all, she is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea,

even if the house exploded, she would be fine!

In comparison,

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

Fortunately!

Fortunately, he didn't take out too much at once!

For a long time,

the commotion inside the room finally gradually subsided,

until it completely disappeared,

and it returned to silence once again!

Subsequently,

the door opened,

and a tall figure walked out of the room,

it was none other than Hancock!

Seeing her at this moment, she was looking down,

with her hands behind her back,

like a child who had done something wrong,

not even daring to look up at Li Xiao!

Seeing this,

Li Xiao asked:

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

Hearing this,

Hancock slowly raised her head,

and said with a look of grievance:

"Sorry, I, I don't know how to cook!"

Seeing Hancock's face,

Li Xiao couldn't help but be amused!

On that beautiful face,

at this moment, it was covered with black soot here and there,

looking exactly like a little wild kitten!

Li Xiao stepped forward two steps,

imbued his fingers with spiritual energy,

wiped the black soot off Hancock's face,

and then patted her head,

smiling:

"It's okay, no need to force it, I was just asking in passing!"

"If it can't be handled here, I can go somewhere else and find someone else to process and cook it!"

While speaking,

Li Xiao couldn't help but rub Hancock's head again!

Hmm,

it's a different feeling from Nami,

but just as comfortable!

Tsk!

Li Xiao suddenly discovered,

ever since coming to the One Piece world,

he had become a bit addicted to head-patting!

Seeing Hancock still looking quite self-reproachful,

Li Xiao quickly changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, do you have Log Poses for other places here? Preferably an Eternal Pose for Alabasta!"

Hearing this,

Hancock thought for a moment,

and answered:

"Log Poses are available, but an Eternal Pose for Alabasta might not be, I will have someone look for it later!"

Speaking of this,

Hancock paused,

and continued to ask:

"What do you need a pose for?"

"Oh, I plan to go to Alabasta, and find an old friend to help me process and cook these ingredients!"

Thinking it over,

Li Xiao suddenly felt that,

the most suitable place right now was Alabasta!

After all,

there is a reliable Crocodile there,

presumably finding a reliable chef for him shouldn't be difficult!

And compared to lunatics like Enel and the Celestial Dragons,

Crocodile is undoubtedly much cuter!

Calculating the time,

at this point in time,

Luffy and his crew shouldn't have arrived in Alabasta yet,

Crocodile should still be living safely!
