Chapter 411 The Straw Hat Pirates

"Engineers!"

The troops equipped with a large number of prosthetics need not only ordinary medical soldiers, but also special "prosthetic doctors" to repair some damaged parts.

Compared with ordinary combatants, these people can be regarded as technical soldiers, and it is not difficult for them to repair a small engine.

"It's just that the machine is a little overloaded, it shouldn't be, this type of portable engine is very durable, how can it break down when driving such a small boat..."

The engineer looked at the coffin-shaped boat on the coast, and couldn't figure out how Hawkeye broke the engine.

According to his inspection results, there was no trace of damage on the outside, and it was simply the damage to the internal circuit caused by long-term work.

Curious, the engineer still repaired the circuit quickly, and his peripheral vision looked at the shore from time to time. The two top swordsmen who were rarely seen on the sea had already started a duel.

Hawkeye's expression was still cold, and his eagle-like eyes were fixed on Yixiao's wrist. As a top swordsman, even without the use of observation Haki to predict, he could judge the opponent's next move from the movement of the flesh.

Night's shape is a little special, with a cross-like hand guard, but in Hawkeye's hands, it looks like it was tailor-made.

Weapons also choose people. When Hawkeye just showed his talent, this knife was his weapon.

At that time, many people wanted to snatch this black knife from Hawkeye, but without exception, they all became dead souls under the knife. The dead souls of these people and one opponent after another gradually established Hawkeye's reputation as the world's number one swordsman.

Every time Night was swung, a slash would follow. Compared with the careless attack when chasing Klick before, Hawkeye is now more serious.

Hawkeye has been silent in the battle. He never calls out the name of the move. In theory, as long as he doesn't say the name,

no one knows whether this is a normal attack or a big move.

"Gravity Knife Tiger!"

Yixiao also became serious, gravity waves surrounded the blade, and slashed forward with a powerful and heavy blow.

The Extreme Fire Line is not a black knife yet, but Yixiao's domineering strength can also make the blade support this intensity of combat. The black knife is not born. The swordsmith makes the knife born, but it is the sword soil that uses the knife that makes the knife grow. Under the nourishment and feeding of domineering, every knife, or any weapon, has the possibility of becoming a "black knife".

It is unknown whether Ye has become a black knife for a long time or was made into a black knife by Hawkeye, but this will not affect Ye's title as the strongest blade.

This will not change until a newcomer defeats Hawkeye with pure swordsmanship.

The top famous swords and the peerless great swordsmen have fought again and again on this ordinary beach. Although Yixiao is an ability user and his swordsmanship is closely related to his fruit ability, Hawkeye does not care about this.

He needs to challenge various swordsmen to hone his swordsmanship. This kind of fighting method that has never been encountered allows Hawkeye to hone himself better. After several hours, the battle between the two has not ended.

The reason why the battle finally ended was that Hawkeye noticed that the engine had been repaired.

"Let's stop here today. It's rare to meet a new opponent. I should have communicated more, but I have things to do now."

Hawkeye took back his sword first, indicating that he had no intention of continuing to fight.

"Are you going to continue to chase those pirates just now?"

"I guess so. I don't like to give up halfway. Since it has started, I have to let this matter end completely. I will come to you again in the future, Mr. Yixiao."

"Then I will wait for your visit, but I have a job to do and may not always be free."

"Well, I know."

The two did not say too much. In the duel just now, they had completed their communication in the way of swordsmen.

The engine was reinstalled on the boat, and Hawkeye seemed to chase in the direction where Crick left without a hurry.

However, this situation did not last long. After sailing for a while, Hawkeye drew his sword again after confirming that the people on the island could no longer see here.

Then he swung hard behind the ship, and a wave of sea ships came by reaction force, speeding up his pursuit.

After a while, at the sea restaurant Barati, a small boat with a sheep's head was moored here, and a boy wearing a straw hat was working hard to pay off his debts.

The boy wearing a straw hat was none other than Luffy. He still embarked on his own pirate road and found a few of his own partners.

When they sailed here, they met the navy captain Hobodi. Luffy used the fruit ability to bounce the cannonballs fired by the other party, but accidentally bounced off the direction and opened a hole in the roof of Barati. In the end, he became a temporary waiter working to pay off his debts.

The current Straw Hat Pirates have also had some changes in their personnel composition. Kuina boarded the ship with Zoro because of some accidents.

After meeting Sanji that year, the two returned to Shimotsuki Village smoothly, but they didn't stay for too long. They went out to sail again with the purpose of becoming stronger, challenging one opponent after another in the East China Sea.

Before they arrived at Shields Town, Zoro rescued Rika, a girl bullied by Bellemer, and killed Bellemer's pet wolf.

At first, Zoro did not resist the navy's capture in order to prevent the situation from getting worse, but made a bet with Bellemer.

Later, Zoro found that Bellemer had no intention of keeping the agreement, so he, Kuina and Luffy, who had just arrived here, broke through the naval base and embarked on the road of pirates.

After that, they did not meet Buggy, nor did they fight with Buggy. After all, Nami was not here at all. They went directly to Xiluo Village, thwarted Clo's conspiracy to seize property, obtained the Merry, and Usopp also boarded the ship.

However, after the order changed, Nami still appeared on the ship, and the root of all this was the rat.

In the past, Gaspard and Rocinante conducted a major anti-corruption campaign in the East China Sea, clearing up a lot of stains and leaving a lot of positions vacant.

At that time, the rat had not been promoted yet, and he took advantage of this gap to become the new branch colonel.

In the original timeline, he took advantage of Arlong to make a lot of money, and he blocked the news himself, so that the higher-level navy had no idea what happened in this place.

Now that Arlong is gone, Mouse's greedy character has not changed. He still supports other pirates and bandits to fulfill his own desires, which makes Cocoa's life still not very good.

When Luffy and his friends sailed here, they had a conflict with Mouse's men and finally drove Mouse away. Nami also boarded the pirate ship at this time.

In addition to what happened when Luffy and his friends beat Mouse before, it also concerns Nami's dream of drawing a map of the world.

There are many unknown areas on the sea that are not even recorded in the books in the library. In order to fulfill her dream,

she always has to go and see it herself.

Now, they are here. When Luffy was forced to work, others sat in the restaurant peacefully, enjoying the service brought by their own captain.

"I said, do you really want him to work here for a year?"

"How is it possible? Of course not. Just teach him a lesson so that he can be more stable in the future and not so impulsive."

Luffy himself has no money, but if others get together, the money for repairing the roof can still be gathered, so he is not too anxious.

At this time, Akin also opened the door, wanting to get some food from here. As expected, Akin was directly turned away because he had no money.

In the original timeline, Sanji didn't like to see people hungry, so he brought food to Akin. Now Sanji is about to officially become the chef of Piltover, so he naturally won't care about Akin here.

He is just a pirate, and no one will pity him even if he is kicked out hungry.

As for why he was hungry, it can only be said that it was the evil result of Klick himself.

At that time, in order to stop Hawkeye, he deceived the ship behind to complete the self-sinking, which also laid the groundwork at this moment.

Not every ship in the fleet of fifty ships has a large amount of food reserves. In order to facilitate transportation, ordinary ships will only store a small amount of fresh water and food, and the rest will be stored in special material ships.

Those ships were slow, so they naturally fell behind when they were escaping. The ships that were ruthlessly abandoned by Crick and entered the Grand Line wanted to get out, either by flying or abandoning the ship and going to the Red Earth Continent. For pirates, crossing the Calm Belt was their only choice.

This journey was very dangerous for Crick, and he had no ability to deal with those vicious sea kings. In the end, only one ship escaped from the entire fleet, and the rest were destroyed in the Calm Belt.

Crick heard that Zeff had been to the Grand Line and successfully escaped, so he wanted to do something here, but Luffy used him as a debt repayment tool and fought with him directly.

Then Hawkeye also came late, sent Crick a way in his own way, and taught the newcomers some lessons.

Luffy and others finally got the Grand Line map from Zeff in Barati and continued to move towards the Grand Line.

Now, they have to face a new problem.

"I'm so hungry, whose turn is it to cook today...

Luffy lay on the table weakly, looking like he had lost his ability to fight.

Although the Straw Hat Pirates had a sailor, a sniper, and a swordsman, they had no cook.

This was undoubtedly a torture for Luffy, who had to eat five meals a day. When he was in Barati before, he even wanted to ask Lazhep to get on board, but was ruthlessly rejected.

The rest of the people were not completely unable to cook, but their level was a little hard to describe. First of all, Luffy, who was a genius in dark cuisine, just burned the kitchen. It's pretty good.

Following closely behind is Kuina. She's good at swordplay, but not at cooking. Although she won't cause food poisoning, it tastes like chewing wax. The only thing she can make is sashimi.

This doesn't require cooking skills, just knife skills. If the ingredients are fresh enough, you just need to know how to cut them.

Zoro and Kuina are basically at the same level, but they have some barbecue skills, but they can't cook properly.

Now the Straw Hat Pirates can only rely on Usopp and Nami to cook.

"Then let me do it..."

"Stop! I really don't want to eat fish and chips, can you make something else..."

Seeing Usopp volunteering to go to the kitchen, Nami reached out and pulled him. Fish and chips are nothing in themselves, but putting these two things together is not a good sign.

Since leaving Barati, their tastes have been locked in this area, and even Luffy is almost tired of this kind of food.

But Usopp is only good at this aspect. The only difference is that the fish he catches every day are not the same type. After all, even the best fishermen can hardly accurately lock fish in the sea.

"I don't know anything else, so why don't you do it."

"Me? I can do it, but I'll charge extra."

Nami still has her money-grubbing attributes. Even if it's a companion on the same ship, it doesn't affect her making a small profit.

"Since we are so familiar with each other, just give me one thousand Baileys per person per day. This is a very cheap price."

Nami counted on her fingers and finally gave such a number.

"It's not impossible, but if you want to charge, you have to at least prove your cooking skills."

"No problem, then you just wait and see."

Attracted by Bailey, Nami came to the kitchen of the Merry and tinkered with it mysteriously. What she is best at is roast duck and orange sauce. She can also make home-cooked dishes, but this speed is not enough on this ship.

Given Luffy's appetite, Nami couldn't finish cooking for a day even if she died of exhaustion, but within half an hour after she entered the kitchen, the dishes she brought out covered the entire table.

"Wow! It looks delicious, so I'll start eating!"

After seeing the food, Luffy's eyes sparkled, and he ate and drank without caring, and occasionally commented that it was delicious.

"Why didn't I know you had this skill before? But why is this meat so rotten? How long have you stewed it?

Didn't you just go in for half an hour?"

Usopp studied the broth in the bowl with a spoon, and seemed to think something was wrong.

As a professional fish and chips cook, Usopp was still a little unwilling to admit defeat when questioned by someone who was also not a professional chef.

"It's your illusion, this kind of meat is easy to stew, but you just don't know it."

Nami perfunctorily said to Usopp, but Usopp saw a piece of plastic on Nami, which looked like some kind of packaging bag.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Usopp rushed into the kitchen and saw the packaging bags piled up in the room.

"Produced in Piltover... Braised sea beast meat in sauce...

A large package of fried rice for 100 people...:

I said Nami, you charge us... just to process these pre-prepared dishes for me?'

Produced in Piltover, the quality is no problem. The ingredients are all high-quality ingredients, and they are preserved for a long time by vacuum dehydration and other processes. The problem that Usopp is entangled with is not the quality of the food.

It's that he thought he spent the money for freshly made ingredients, but the other party was just an employee who heated up the food from beginning to end
