Siano looked at Zeff, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro was also shoveling food into his mouth, wishing he could swallow the table along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resentment from being ordered around to do chores had long since vanished; if he could eat such delicious food every day, he wouldn't mind washing and cutting vegetables every day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man!\" he couldn't help but turn back and shout, \"Stay! If I can't taste your cooking in the future, I don't know how I'll go on living!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay, Chef old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other little brats in the dojo joined in the clamor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These kids who didn't know the hardships of the world, Koushiro shook his head helplessly; where could his small dojo afford to hire such a top-tier chef?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, stop making noise, and don't bring up such unreasonable requests again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushiro had just spoken gently when he suddenly turned his head in astonishment, suddenly remembering that Zeff had specifically asked him before cooking whether there was a shortage of chefs here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, that is exactly what I meant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeff said with a smile, \"Mr. Koushiro, it seems the children really like my cooking; how about you take me in for the time being? Of course, this child as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently rubbed the little head of Sanji beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little brat, you say you want to find the All Blue, but you're currently only at the level of a chore boy; you're not even a chef yet, so how are you qualified to pursue that dream blue sea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stinky old man...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji pushed his hand away in disgust, then suddenly realized something and looked up in surprise, \"Eh? Does that mean you're willing to teach me cooking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not certain yet.\" Zeff curled his lip, \"I am very strict with official apprentices; if you don't make a name for yourself, I can kick you out at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't underestimate people, stinky old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushiro coughed at this moment and said: \"Lord Zeff, for a person of your stature to be willing to stay at the dojo is truly my honor; I would certainly welcome it, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the rate of consumption today, the Isshin Dojo would probably go bankrupt in less than a month. If it were a year ago, he would have had quite a bit of stored grain, but on that night not long ago, he had donated it all to Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a bit embarrassed and really couldn't bring himself to say the preceding words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zeff saw his embarrassment and laughed out loud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I still have some savings, so don't worry about it; from now on, I will cover all the ingredients for the Isshin Dojo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can that be!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushiro was shocked; it was the first time he had heard of someone paying to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say no more! It's settled!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeff laughed loudly; he couldn't be bothered with so much nonsense, and with a forceful pat on Koushiro's shoulder, he forced the latter to swallow the words that were almost at his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano watched from the side, finding it interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of these two coming together was quite marvelous to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushiro, Zeff, tsk, if another Lei... Kaido came, the teachers of the Straw Hat Pirates' big three would all be gathered at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Lord Siano.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeff pulled Siano outside again and, from somewhere, brought out a large bag of treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take these; if you exchange them for money, it should be at least fifty or sixty million Berries. I've kept some for myself, which is enough for daily ingredient purchases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty or sixty million Berries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano glanced at the large bag of treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the deserted island, Zeff had used this bag of things to deceive Sanji, making him mistakenly believe it was full of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the original timeline, Zeff later used this money to open the Baratie restaurant, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the four hundred million Berries he had in the Loguetown bank, he thought for a moment and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, Uncle Zeff, you keep it all. I really don't lack money; just consider it my contribution to help these children in the dojo eat well and be full without worrying about nutrition for the next few years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially those two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano pointed at Kuina and Zoro and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, they might be my crew members, so you can be a little biased and take care of them. I hope that when they go to sea with me in the future, their bodies will be as strong as an ox... no, as strong as me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeff followed his gaze to Siano's exaggeratedly strong physique and was immediately amused, laughing out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine! Don't worry, with me guarding the kitchen, when you go to sea, I will definitely return two crew members as plump and strong as you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or perhaps, more than two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Zeff was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano blinked and said with a grin, \"I'm saying, Uncle, continuing to be a chef is ultimately just your second-best choice, right? Isn't your biggest dream always to continue roaming the Grand Line and pursue that blue sea of your dreams?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean... you want me to come aboard your ship when the time comes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeff was slightly taken aback, and there seemed to be some movement in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after looking down at his prosthetic limb, he sighed in the end:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, the Grand Line of the future belongs to you young people; with the little strength I have left, I'd better not hold you back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was a man who had been a captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't matter if he came aboard, but if he became a dead weight at the bottom of the ship's strength, unable to help in battle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his self-esteem would be completely unable to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, I can understand your feelings, but what if...\" Siano stroked his chin, \"I have a way to completely heal your leg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeff froze, and then a brilliant light erupted in his eyes, his voice even trembling slightly with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Is there really a way? I lost my entire leg; what medical skill could reach such a level...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano shook his head: \"It's not necessarily medical skill; in any case, I can't do it yet, but I definitely will in the future. How about this, Uncle Zeff, let's set a deadline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held up four fingers, \"Let's use the day I go to sea as the boundary, maybe within four or five years? When the time comes, I will come to the Isshin Dojo; as long as I can help you completely repair this leg, you will come aboard with us, how about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very confident in fulfilling this promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the things that could be refreshed in the system trading market were truly varied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even things like planetary engines could be found, so what was repairing a leg?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only thirteen years old now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to sea didn't necessarily have to wait until adulthood, but it would have to be at least sixteen or seventeen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a long time in between, the trading market refreshed once a month; unless he was truly the unluckiest person in the world, how could he not find a way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, let's do as you say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeff finally made up his mind, held out a pinky finger, and grinned: \"Then let's pinky swear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do you locals in the East Blue, regardless of age, like pinky swearing so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Thanks to \"I have a billion ideas\" for the 500-point reward support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be another update in the afternoon; there are restrictions during the new book period before it goes on the shelves, so I can only maintain two updates a day. Please forgive me, I will add more updates after it goes on the shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1679,"2026-06-17T09:04:16.852Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ccc12ffe9aa037c5a8c1e2f236660120b6c353beee316db4be94a77b89adb28e","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-28","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-26",139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-starting-with-shanks-severed-arm-cover.jpg"]
