Chapter 130: The thunder-chariot was very quiet

Sanji sensed a familiar scent.

Because it was, in fact, a—

"Kitchen?"

Sanji fell silent.

"Living this well?"

"They even have a separate kitchen?"

To be honest, Sanji was truly tempted.

Although his role in their adventures was significant,

his primary profession had never really been put to use.

Now, seeing this sight before him,

he conceived a bold idea.

*Could I perhaps...*

Sanji grew more excited as he thought about it, but the cook before him didn't seem like a pushover either.

Perhaps it was a microcosm of the era.

Almost every cook had to know some martial arts to protect themselves.

Because in that era, there were simply too many people looking for a free meal.

Which innkeeper didn't hire a few thugs?

Sometimes, the cook was the thug himself.

"So you've made it here!"

"You're the ones causing all that commotion outside, aren't you?"

"Honestly, can't even have a moment of peace!"

The cook seemed extremely impatient, his hands moving with violent intensity as he prepared the food.

Watching him crush an egg,

Sanji frowned deeply.

Wasteful! It was absolutely wasteful!

This was something he could never accept.

"You two go on ahead!"

"A cook's business should be handled by a cook!"

Zhuge Zhuge Zhuge Lanqi and the others nodded.

They realized this cook was no simpleton.

Without any hesitation, they moved on—this was their trust in their companion.

"Hmph, you reckless little brat!"

"Are you a cook too?"

The cook didn't stop the others, instead fixing his gaze on Sanji.

"Of course! The finest cook in the world!"

Sanji didn't hesitate for a second when he said this.

"Heh."

Unexpectedly, the man opposite him gave a disdainful laugh.

"Kid, don't be too arrogant while you're young!"

"At the very least, no one has dared to call themselves a cook in front of your grandfather here!"

The cook puffed out his chest with pride.

"Back in the day, I worked as an assistant in the Imperial Kitchen!!"

"I'm a cook who has served His Majesty!"

"What are you supposed to be?"

Hearing the man's words, Sanji's brow furrowed even deeper.

It wasn't because of the mockery, but because the man had crushed another egg!

"Does being a cook in the Imperial Kitchen give you the right to waste food?"

It seemed as if he had sensed Sanji's fury.

That man immediately burst into loud laughter!

"Where did this bumpkin come from!"

"Waste?"

"Things for the imperial court! How can that be called waste?"

"Bang!!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Luffy had already kicked him in a fit of rage!

Everyone was also surprised; they hadn't expected this to be the reason he was angered!

[This guy has touched every single one of Luffy's reverse scales!]

[Hurting companions, kidnapping women, wasting food! The buffs are fully stacked!]

[Why are the cooks in this world all so powerful!]

[Nonsense! If you were an ordinary cook, I'd eat for free every day! After all, the imperial court doesn't care!]

A single line about the imperial court not caring revealed the truth of that era!

And at this moment, Luffy also found things a bit difficult!

The opponent was also a trained fighter! And his martial arts were not weak!

But what was most infuriating was!

The opponent actually threw the food over!

Dough, steamed buns, and even noodles were all thrown over!

But before Luffy could even get angry, his hair stood on end the next moment!

This flying food was at least a distraction!

The hidden weapons concealed within were the real killing blows!

Watching Luffy barely dodge them!

That cook was also greatly shocked!

"Yo~ most people would be fooled!"

"You brat are quite sharp!"

And what he didn't notice was that Luffy was already extremely furious!

"Toying with things like this! Wasting food!"

"Do you even deserve to be called a cook!"

Looking at the opponent's angry face!

That cook became even more excited!

"Hehe!! Take this!!"

Countless pieces of food were thrown out again!

But to everyone's surprise, this time Luffy didn't show off his kicking skills!

Instead, he casually grabbed two kitchen knives!

"A cook should naturally treat food in a cook's way!"

Luffy muttered, and the kitchen knives in his hands had already danced into beautiful blade flowers!

Then, an even more incredible scene appeared!

To date! The audience saw the most magnificent display of swordsmanship!

Luffy's kitchen knives were simply works of art!

It was as if he were wielding two precious swords, dancing up and down!

All the hidden weapons and food were perfectly blocked by him!

He even carved the food into flowers!

Everyone was stunned!

At the same time, the figure of a certain green-haired man appeared in their minds!

"Bang!!"

He kicked the stunned cook flying!

Luffy fiercely shoved all the food on the ground into the opponent's mouth!

[Damn! I'm truly stunned! He actually had this trick up his sleeve?]

[This is swordsmanship, right! Is this swordsmanship?]

[Seems like it?]

[No way, Luffy, you actually know how to do this?]

[Wuwuwu~~ I feel bad for my Zoro for three seconds!]

The audience was completely won over by this move from Luffy!

And at this moment, the cook with his mouth stuffed full asked what everyone was thinking!

"Are... are you a swordsman?"

It was clear that the opponent was very shocked!

"Swordsman?"

"No! I'm a cook!"

Luffy lit a cigarette and stuffed another handful of food in!

"Impossible!! The strongest swordsman I've ever seen can't compare to you wuwuwu~~~"

The cook's mouth was completely blocked!

Luffy seemed a bit impatient!

"What swordsmanship! These hands of mine are for cooking!"

"That's why I practiced kicking skills so hard!"

"It's because I didn't want these cooking hands of mine to be stained by combat!"

Listening to Luffy's words!

The grand plaza went completely silent!

They seemed to have discovered something truly incredible!

[Listen! Listen! Is this human language? It's simply the ultimate humble-brag!]

[You brat actually had this trick! You should have said so earlier!]

[Wuwuwu~~ My Zoro's self-esteem is going to be hurt!]

[Years later, Zoro practiced swordsmanship hard, only to see Luffy in the position of the strongest swordsman!]

[Luffy: Sorry, Green-hair! I didn't have a smaller kitchen knife!]

[I declare! From now on, this plaza is called Luffy Plaza!]

[Everyone stand up!]

[Does the author like cooks that much? He actually added so many scenes for him?]

[Luffy has always been charming, it just wasn't reflected much before!]

[Indeed! Sanji has many rare virtues!!]

Luffy's popularity ranking soared straight up! In this instant, it was closing in on Zoro!

And his female fan base was very large!

Almost all women would be won over by this cook who seems like a pervert but actually respects women!

"Don't waste food in your next life!"

Ending him with a kick, Luffy didn't stop his pace!

And at the same time

Luffy and the others also encountered their own crisis!

"My god! What is that!!!!"

The two strategists exclaimed as they looked at the behemoth before them!

Who could tell them!

Why were there two extra sections of thunderbolt carts on the tracks?
