Chapter 648: Attack, the noble son of the new navy? ! (Two in one)

Luffy and his companions who landed on the island smoothly also entered the town very smoothly. Along the way, they did not encounter any inspections.

The new navy has its own set of codes of conduct in managing Fishman Island. Before confirming the location of the enemy, the new navy will not inspect the passers-by on the street.

It is precisely such codes of conduct and rules and regulations that have enabled Fishman Island to maintain the popularity of tourism. Over the years, the economic development of Fishman Island has been closely related to the new navy's code of conduct.

The weak presence of the army can also allow people who come to Fishman Island for business and travel to feel enough freedom.

Although such a system can promote economic development to a certain extent, on the other hand, the biggest reason why Fishman Island has never been able to curb pirates from entering the New World is also the reason why they have insufficient supervision of their homeland.

However, the two aspects of developing the economy and curbing pirates are actually conflicting to some extent.

If you want to develop the economy, you must maintain a certain degree of openness with people. If you want to curb pirates, you need to strengthen the supervision of the island.

It's like the two ends of a seesaw. When one end falls to the ground, the other end will definitely rise.

In order to find a balance, the new navy and Ryugu Castle have made a lot of efforts. After many coordinations, Fishman Island has maintained the current relatively peaceful situation.

Mermaid Cafe on Fishman Island.

After Luffy and others entered the town, they naturally found the largest "tourist attraction" on Fishman Island.

This is a cafe located on the Mermaid Coast. Consumers can taste the special coffee of Fishman Island while seeing the mermaid girls playing in the Mermaid Bay.

Whether men or women, there is no way to refuse the beautiful creatures of mermaids. Therefore, this mermaid cafe has become a "check-in point" for every tourist to Fishman Island.

Luffy and his group are all lively, so they will naturally not be absent.

"Ohhh!"

"So sweet, so delicious!"

In an outdoor pavilion by the Mermaid Bay, the Straw Hat Pirates sat around a large round table, tasting the special coffee and desserts here.

As soon as the coffee entered his mouth, Luffy couldn't help but brighten his eyes and exclaimed happily.

Unlike coffee on land, the coffee on Fishman Island is mainly sweet, and the light caramel aroma of coffee gives this coffee a different flavor.

Compared with ordinary coffee circulated on land, this kind of coffee on Fishman Island is more like milk coffee.

Luffy is not the kind of person who likes bitterness, and has never been interested in coffee, but this kind of coffee on Fishman Island is very suitable for his taste.

"Sweet?"

After listening to Luffy's words, the other members of the pirate group also tasted it, but some people like this taste, some people don't, and Brook is the one who doesn't like it.

A "mature" person like him still likes the mellow bitter taste after all, and this sweet taste seems too "frivolous" for him.

However, young women like Vivi and Nami like this peculiar taste very much.

The pirate world is a place with extremely unbalanced economic development. For some relatively poor towns, sweetness is very scarce.

Sugar is a strategic material in most countries in this world.

Except for Luffy, the growth experience of the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates can be regarded as "small town youth".

Even Vivi, a "princess" of noble birth, has experienced a long period of hardship due to the fall of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

"This cake tastes great!"

"It's amazing, how is this taste made?"

In addition to coffee, there are a lot of tea snacks on the table, exquisite cakes, and shortbreads fill the entire table.

Sanji picked up a piece of cake and gently scooped a spoonful of cream into his mouth with a spoon. As soon as he tasted this taste, the chef's face showed a little surprise.

Silky and rich in fragrance, Sanji thought he couldn't make this taste.

Sanji's words also aroused the curiosity of other partners, and they tasted the cakes one after another. For a while, there was no end to the exclamations.

Just as Luffy and others were happily drinking coffee and eating desserts, a waiter from the Mermaid Cafe came to their table with a plate of roasted sea beast meat.

Luffy and the others' heartfelt praise was also heard by the mermaid, who enthusiastically said:

"Guests, the sea beef you ordered is ready."

Putting the tray in her hand gently on the table in front of Luffy, the mermaid asked:

"How is it, are the coffee and desserts to your taste?"

"Part of the raw materials for making desserts in our Fishman Island are sent from Wano Country, and the quality is very high."

"Although the taste is very good, some guests don't like it so sweet and feel a little greasy."

The mermaid waitress is named Kemi, and she has a beautiful appearance.

Although Kemi is secretly happy about the guests' praise, as a waitress, she still shows her gentle and humble side. After all, she is in the catering business. Even if Kemi is confident in her own food, she cannot guarantee that her food will satisfy every guest.

"Meat!!!"

At this moment, Luffy's attention was completely focused on the sea beef. He didn't bother to talk to him at all. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the sea beef directly in front of him. He gnawed it without caring about the image and took the meat into his mouth. Li Luffy answered vaguely:

“It’s delicious, it tastes great!”

"Apart from Sanji's cooking, your food is the best I've ever tasted."

In Luffy's little mind, Sanji is the one who cooks the best food in the world. His words actually express his highest recognition of the food at the Mermaid Cafe.

"Does it taste good? That's good."

"Wish you a pleasant meal."

Kemi obviously didn't know who Luffy was talking about Sanji, but when she heard Luffy say it was delicious, a bright smile appeared on her face, she bowed slightly respectfully, and left slowly.

The arrival of Luffy's favorite meat food also made the atmosphere at the table even more lively. They are a group of young people, and they will inevitably be wild when they are happy. The sound of people eating at the table can also be heard far away.

Also dining here are some nobles from certain islands on the mainland. These people are completely different from Luffy and his group of young people. In order to maintain their "noble" persona, they speak softly and chew slowly. Swallowing is the most basic thing for people of this class.

The dissolute appearance of Luffy and his group naturally made these people unhappy, and their eyes looked at Luffy and others with obvious disgust and contempt.

"Ugly eating appearance."

I don't know who couldn't stand Luffy and the others, so he cursed in a low voice. The man didn't deliberately lower his voice when he mocked. Everyone could clearly hear this "ugly" sound.

Luffy and the others were no exception. Even Nami and Vivi, who had the weakest sense of the outside world, heard this taunt.

The warm atmosphere in the banquet also cooled down slightly, and everyone looked sideways in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, sitting on a two-person seat near the bay, was a handsome-looking, blond-haired nobleman dressed in fine clothes. The nobleman was obviously alone. There was only a cup of coffee and a bottle of wine in front of his table. Roll newspaper.

While Luffy and others were looking at each other, the other party calmly picked up the coffee and took a sip, completely without the embarrassment of being caught behind someone else's back.

"What did you just say?!"

Sanji has a bad temper. If the other party just insults him, he won't care. But if he dares to insult Nami and Vivi, no matter who it is, he will give him a good talk.

"Didn't you hear that clearly?"

"I mean some people look so ugly when they eat."

"Don't disturb others, it's so ungraceful."

Facing Sanji's question, the young man in fine clothes didn't flinch at all. He looked straight at Sanji who was full of sullen expression, glanced at Luffy with some disgust as he put meat into his mouth, and replied.

"You guys, are you looking for trouble?"

Sanji was about to have a fit, but Vivi and Nami who were sitting at the table also tried to dissuade him.

The two girls are not the kind of people who don't understand things, and they don't want to cause trouble in public. Following the principle of doing more things than doing less, they don't want Sanji to have a conflict with each other.

The only ones who can extinguish Sanji's anger at this time are obviously the "ladies" he cares about.

After the persuasion of the two ladies, Sanji sat back down in his seat, but his anger was still lingering, and his eyes looking at the noble young master were full of warning.

"Hey, Sanji, this meat tastes really good. When you go back, you have to find a way to recreate it!"

And at this moment, Luffy, who had stuffed all the sea meat into his stomach, spoke.

He didn't seem to feel the tense atmosphere of contention in the air. He just talked about food when he opened his mouth, and seemed completely unaffected by the man's ridicule.

Sanji was speechless for a moment when he heard this, his eyes twitched slightly, and he glanced at Luffy impatiently: "I know, shut up now!"

Even Sanji, who was still angry, did not refuse directly when he heard Luffy's words, but instead showed a strong sense of doting.

"Hahaha, as expected of you, Sanji."

Is Luffy really a person who can't read the atmosphere?

Obviously not. Although he is a bit naturally stupid, he is very aware of the surrounding atmosphere. He is just using this method to alleviate Sanji's resentment.

There is no need to conflict with others over such meaningless things.

This is not piratey at all.

And this style of behavior was learned by Luffy from Shanks.

It has to be said that Shanks' influence on Luffy is so great that even Garp, his own grandfather, may not be able to surpass Shanks' influence.

Unknowingly, the young Luffy already possessed a power that was difficult for others to match.

Luffy and others were minding their own business eating and drinking, and they obviously noticed that the voices of their own group were indeed a bit loud, and they also restrained themselves.

The young man who spoke before looked at Luffy in surprise when he saw that the other party could endure it like this.

I thought that the other party would rely on the strength of their numbers to compete with me.

Cavendish held his chin, and the disdain in his eyes faded a lot at this moment.

The young man who had previously ridiculed Luffy and others was Cavendish, who was born in the Kingdom of Brujoa in the Grand Line. He joined the New Navy by chance, and now, at the age of 25, he has become a major general of the New Navy.

The reason why he appeared on Fishman Island was just because he came to the island for sightseeing on vacation.

Fishman Island is a place where many senior generals of the New Navy like to go on vacation. The islands in the New World are either not as prosperous as Fishman Island, or they are not as distinctive as Fishman Island.

"Huh?!"

Just when Cavendish was about to shift his attention away from the Straw Hat Pirates, he suddenly found that the number of diners eating and drinking coffee around the restaurant had decreased a lot without him noticing.

He had been on Fishman Island for a few days, and the Mermaid Cafe was always full both indoors and outdoors. Such a scene had never appeared before.

Moreover, as a new navy, he also felt that such a scene was somewhat familiar, as if.

At this time, a young man dressed in a suit and tie, dressed like a waiter, walked to Cavendish with a menu in his hand, bowed respectfully to block the line of sight between Cavendish and the Straw Hat Pirates, and whispered:

"Dear guest, please don't make a sound."

"I am a new navy. There are pirates here. There may be a fight next. Please move."

"Please follow me. I will take you out of the store."

The waiter's words proved Cavendish's guess. Hearing that there were pirates in the Mermaid Cafe, Cavendish's face was also a little solemn. He reached out from his arms, took out a certificate and whispered:

"I am Rear Admiral Cavendish of the New Navy. Although I am on vacation, I think I can help you."

"Who is the pirate?!"

Seeing the certificate in Cavendish's hand, the waiter disguised as a waiter The new navy officer was obviously stunned. When he heard that the other party was actually a general, he also looked serious and said respectfully:

"It's the table behind me, the one wearing a straw hat, he is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, with a bounty of 10 million Baileys."

"The blond curly-browed man with a cigarette in his mouth is Blackfoot Sanji, with a bounty of 2 million Baileys."

"That is a wanted order from Marinford. Although there is no bounty for this group of people in our new navy's internal system, the identity of the other pirate has been confirmed."

"And the other party attacked our patrol team."

Hearing this, Cavendish took the menu from the other party calmly, and looked in the direction of Luffy and others. After a brief inspection, he looked around and found that the guests around him had left one after another. Cavendish also nodded silently, gently stroked the long sword at his waist, and flew up directly, rushing towards Luffy and others. (End of this chapter)
