Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

Red-footed Zeff, a bounty of up to 69 million Berry! In the East China Sea, where the average bounty was 3 million Berry, he could be called a dominating pirate.

Not only the diners around, but even the chefs under Zhefu had no idea that their boss was such a powerful big pirate.

"Stinky old man, you..." Sanji, who followed Zeff, stared blankly at Zeff's wooden prosthetic leg, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Zeff's leg was broken because of him. Neither he nor Zeff wanted to mention the specific past, but Sanji always thought that he was dragging Zeff down. Knowing Zhefu's past at this moment, this feeling is magnified infinitely.

"Those were boring past events." Zhefu said calmly: "So, guest, have you decided what you want to eat?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I can't stop talking on a whim." Victor smiled slightly: "Provence fish soup, seafood puff pastry with cream sauce, medium-rare lamb saddle steak, and a small portion of strawberry cucumber."

"Please wait a moment." Zhefu nodded, turned and left with the chefs.

"Huh?" Victor caught a glimpse of the small figure following Zeff: "Brother, please wait a moment, please?"

Zeff pulled Sanji who didn't know why nervously to his side, looked at Victor and said slowly: "This kid is just a helper, if he offends you in any way, I hope Haihan."

It’s no wonder Zhefu is so nervous. Powerhouses at the level of Shichibukai are basically moody monsters. Even if the reports on the murderous chain in the newspapers are all positive news, it’s hard to guarantee that it’s not false information fabricated by the world government to promote it. . In case Sanji really annoyed the other party, even if he risked his old life, it would be difficult to save him.

Victor was taken aback when he saw Zeff's nervous expression, and then smiled apologetically: "It seems that you, Boss Zeff, have misunderstood you. I'm just familiar with the appearance of this little brother, and I hope to ask him something, please You can rest assured."

Nami, who was sitting on the side drinking juice, laughed loudly: "Master is hated hahaha ouch!!" Her cheerful laughter just took off when Victor's brain bang killed it.

Zeff's nervousness was relieved a lot by Nami's smile. He patted Sanji on the back: "Since Victor-sama said so, Sanji, you should go, and answer Victor-sama's question carefully, don't play tricks." head!"

Sanji walked over to Victor in a daze, looking at the attitudes of the people around him and the stinky old man, he probably understood that the speechless handsome blond guy in front of him was a great big shot. But he still doesn't understand what is worthy of the other party's inquiry, unless...

Taking Sanji to the deck outside, with the refreshing sea breeze blowing, Victor found a dry place to sit on the ground and motioned for Sanji to sit down too.

"Don't be nervous, little brother. I just see that you look familiar, so I want to ask you."

Victor stroked his eyebrows with his finger: "That circle eyebrow is so characteristic, so I want to ask, brother, are you from Donghai?"

Sanji shook his head: "I was born in Beihai."

"...That's true." Victor nodded: "Second question, are you a member of the Vinsmoke family in Beihai?"

As soon as Sanji heard this, he knew that the other party had figured out his origin, and lowered his head and said in frustration: "It used to be..."

"One last question. Vinsmoke Reiju... is your sister?"

Sanji looked up at Victor, then lowered his head again: "...um."

"There's really a big difference between the two of you." Victor said in surprise, "The princess is almost as tall as me, why are you so short?"

"I, I'm just growing slowly!" Sanji was furious, and then asked carefully: "Reiju... is she okay?"

Since his mother's death, Reiju is the only member of that ruthless family who has shown kindness to him. When the Vinsmoke family invaded the East China Sea a year ago, she even tried to be punished by her father to release herself from prison and let herself escape to a nearby merchant ship.

Sanji still has feelings for Reiju.

"Her Royal Highness is having a good time, but the 'Kaiji' failed unexpectedly. I hope she can make persistent efforts."

Victor looked at Sanji, who was somewhat restrained, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous. I have no hatred or grudge with the Vinsmoke family, I just had a relationship with Her Royal Highness. As for you, the prince living outside Your Highness, I don't want to ask too much about the reason, but I just want to ask you—do you want to contact your father? I can provide his phone number."

As he said that, a note emerged from the zipper space in Victor's hand. It was the note that Reiju gave him back then with Vinsmoke Gage's private phone number on it.

Sanji shook his head vigorously: "That man... forbids me to claim to be his son. I don't want to talk to him!"

Victor shrugged his shoulders and took the note back: "If you plan to talk to him, I can provide you with the phone bug number; if you want to meet him, I can let you board the boat and follow us to the North Sea; but if you I don't want to have any contact with them, and I respect your wishes."

He stood up and patted the soil, then pulled Sanji up from the deck, and winked at him: "In the end, it was just a [coincident encounter]. Since you don't want them to know that you are in the East China Sea, Then I'll just pretend I don't know anything, okay?"

Sanji nodded happily.

"But since we met, let me give you a gift." A black revolver appeared in Victor's palm, and he handed it to Sanji: "Boss Zeff's kicking skills are good, learn it hard. But in the future, you will inevitably If you encounter long-range enemies that you can’t kick with your feet, I’ll give you this revolver, and it won’t hurt to take the time to practice marksmanship.”

Sanji took the revolver and fondled this exquisite weapon fondly. Men like guns, no matter how old they are.

Victor brought Sanji back to the restaurant just in time for the first dish to be served, and Zeff took charge of it himself, and the taste really lived up to its reputation.

The three of Victor were very satisfied with the meal, and chatted with Zeff for a long time after the meal. Not surprisingly, Zeff declined Victor's invitation, but Victor was not angry, he just paid for the meal with a smile and left with Hoxue and Nami I went to the sea restaurant Baratti.

On the Beagle, Nami asked curiously: "Master, why did we go to that restaurant on the sea? Is it really for a meal?" Victor's intentions.

"I hoped to recruit a team of combat chefs for the 'Passionate Ark', but unfortunately Boss Zhefu prefers to run the restaurant on the sea." Victor tossed the orange in his hand and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, life can't always be smooth sailing."

"Victor, where is the next destination?" Haoxue put down the nautical chart in his hand and asked.

"Rogge Town, the place known as 'the town of the beginning and the end'." Victor peeled the orange peel, but his eyes drifted into the distance:

"When you come to this world, you can't justify not taking a look at that [Execution Platform]."
