"Hang in there, Lily, please."

Then, everything calmed down.

His wish was singular. For it, he would do anything, anything at all.

"Please, I have nothing now."

Finally, the sun went up to bed.

The most beautiful scenery on Carnival Island is the evening clouds. It's a perfect place for a vacation. Usopp and Robin were sitting in a restaurant, gazing at the distant sea, and taking a sip of coffee.

"You mean I saw it from the air?"

Usopp retorted. They were talking about their own wings.

"Yes, it's fresh flowers."

"A flower? This is a flower? If that's the case..."

Usopp had barely finished speaking when he saw a dark shadow in the sky. Zorro yelled:

Where's Chopper?

"Is that Chopper? I heard he's here to cheer us on."

“He’ll be back soon,” Usopp replied.

"Hey! Where's Chopper?"

Sanji, dressed in a suit and tie, asked the question.

“I told you, he’ll be back soon.”

"What? Where's Chopper?"

Nami came out wearing an evening gown. She asked.

"Didn't I tell you, he'll be here soon..."

"No one is coming to see you anymore."

Nami is still holding a grudge against Usopp for leaving her here. Judging from Usopp's behavior, everyone has lost faith in him.

"Hey, Nami, how long are you going to stay angry? Didn't I tell you? It opened up on its own."

"Captain, think about it quickly. From the very beginning, everyone has been like this."

Robin had just stepped out of the restaurant when he heard a series of drumbeats.

"Oh dear! They're revelers!"

Luffy shouted loudly.

All eyes were on him. He saw a swimming pool in the middle of the open-air restaurant.

"Hahaha, aren't you from the pirate crew that went through thick and thin with us?"

"Ha, don't give me that nonsense!"

Sanji said irritably.

"Okay, okay, I hope you enjoy the meal."

Chapter 259: The Cook's Dignity!

A tremendous drumbeat resounded, as if something was pulsating. With this strike of the giant drum, the entire pool of water was split in two, revealing the unfathomable depths beneath.

A platform rose from the middle of the pool, and a burly cook appeared on the stage. This was the man who held the umbrella for the Carnival Baron on the elephant's back.

"This is Xiao Tie, and this is the head chef of Wenjialou!" "That's good! We can open for business tonight!"

"The Carnival Baron proclaimed."

"Are you serious?" "Oh!"

The place where Xiao Tie stood was a huge metal platform, like a swimming pool. Various ingredients were being continuously pushed onto it from all sides of the pool.

Flames roared around the iron plate. Usopp nearly caught fire.

"Is this kid very hot?"

Among them, Little Iron, who also had a leaf on his head, stood quietly on a piece of iron that was red-hot.

"What's going on? Is this some kind of act?"

Sanji had no interest in his boasting and just snorted.

With a "whoosh," came the sound of gasoline igniting. It was a very good grease, with the aroma of lard.

“It’s started!” George said calmly.

Little Iron shouted as he slid across the iron plate.

"So, he was using gasoline to slide?"

Nami suddenly realized. It turned out that the thick shoes on Xiaotie's feet were a special tool used for boiling lard.

"So-so, not very good."

Sanji narrowed his eyes slightly and exhaled a puff of smoke.

Around the cart, a group of chefs with leaves stuck in their hair poured round pieces of ingredients into the hot plate.

“Watch me!” George smiled faintly.

Xiao Tie frantically stirred the ingredients with his specially made giant shovel. He chopped, chopped, chopped, cutting all the ingredients into edible shapes, and then grilled them on the hot plate.

“It looks great!”

"Nothing special, nothing special."

Sanji remained oblivious to Usopp's adoration. Kotetsu's mastery of fire allowed him to process all the food with remarkable efficiency.

"It looks delicious!"

Luffy's mouth was practically watering; he seemed impatient. Sanji's pride was utterly shattered at that moment. He untied his bow tie and tossed his suit aside.

"Damn guy!"

"How could a cook be afraid of fire?"

Xiao Tie looked at Sanji walking over and shouted:

"This is a sacred warehouse, you ignorant brat, get out of my way!"

"Luffy, what brings you here? Wait for me, I'll definitely cook a dish even more delicious than this fat pig!"

Sanji rolled up his sleeves and took out a huge shovel. He was also wearing a pair of special wooden shoes.

"Heh! I don't even have a single document here."

boom!

The moment the taiko drums stopped, Sanji roared, "Take this thing from you, you bastard!"

The drums sounded once more. The chefs' duel then began.

The two people argued back and forth on the hot plate over vegetables and meat.

"Come on, come on! I don't care who cooks, as long as it's delicious!"

Luffy was shouting from the side, but no one knew what he was thinking.

"come on! Come on!"

Zorro leaned lazily against a chair by the pool, seemingly trying to escape the scorching heat.

Just as Robin was about to return to the restaurant, he was stopped by Baron Carnival.

"Young lady, where are you going? The banquet is about to begin."

"I just wanted to add some flowers to our table."

Robin's voice rang out.

"As for flowers, hehe, I have some here."

Upon hearing Baron Carnival's words, Robin turned and left.

"Carnation, Lily."

"What do you say?"

"That's what the owner of the elegant giant goldfish said."

“Muchigoro?” he asked. “He used to be fine, except he likes to talk nonsense when he’s drunk.”

"Yes."

"I've never seen a flower like this before. Is it a plant from this island? It's said to be a very beautiful flower."

Robin smiled and walked out of the restaurant.

The final dish of the cooking competition was a bowl of special noodles!
