42: Chapter 42 The Baratie, the Sea RestaurantAs Luffy reached the front, he heard a commotion coming from the deck.Going to investigate, he saw a man with a "sea" tattoo on his face pulling at Zoro, talking to him.Lying on the deck was a pale-faced man.Luffy realized this was where he and Usopp had practiced with their cannons, and the man's partner had been lying there resting.Before they could react, a cannonball had blown them up.Zoro said, "Luffy, these two are my former bounty hunter partners.The one in blue is Johnny, and the one lying here dying is Joseph.they." Before Zoro could finish, Johnny rushed in front of Luffy, shouting, "What do you say we do?Your partner killed my partner!I'll make your partner pay for my partner's life!"
Luffy sighed and facepalmed."Are you stupid?Your crewmate just got scurvy from not eating vegetables for so long at sea." Luffy turned to Usopp and said, "Go to the warehouse and get a bucket of limes."
Usopp hurriedly ran to the warehouse and brought out limes.Luffy, holding one in each hand, forcefully squeezed the limes, dripping the juice into Joseph's mouth.A moment later, Joseph suddenly sat up.Johnny, seeing his brother recover, excitedly hugged Joseph and cried, thanking Luffy between sobs, "Thank you, Luffy-nii, you're amazing!"
Luffy simply smiled and asked, "Our next stop is the Baratie, the sea restaurant.Want to come along?" Johnny exclaimed, "The Baratie, the most famous restaurant in the East Blue?Where are you going, Luffy-nii-san, and what are you doing?"
Luffy replied, "Let's eat, and while we're at it, let's find a chef.I've been cooking all the meals on the ship lately." As he spoke, Luffy glanced at Zoro and the others, who avoided his gaze.Luffy shook his head helplessly and continued, "I only know a few dishes, and we can't keep eating the same things, so this ship needs a chef."
Joseph excitedly said, "I've been wanting to try it for ages, this is the perfect opportunity!" Luffy looked up at Nami, "Nami, please point us in the right direction." Nami nodded and directed Usopp to adjust the course, heading towards the Baratie.Luffy then received a system notification: "Main Quest Activated: Kill Krieg, Protect the Baratie.Success reward: Wind God Leg, 5000 Pirate Coins.Failure.you know what happens." "Main Quest Activated: Challenge Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and survive for half an incense stick's time.Success reward: Water Breathing Final Form, Flame Breathing Final Form.Failure reward: Crystal Coffin." "Side Quest Activated: Pull Sanji onto the ship.Success reward: 1000 Pirate Coins.Failure: No penalty."
Luffy stared speechlessly at the missions, especially the one challenging Hawkeye.What was the difference between that and suicide?However, Luffy looked at the mission rewards, which were indeed very tempting."The timid starve, the bold feast," Luffy thought, looking at the Dragon Staff that had been gathering dust in his system space."Looks like it's finally time to use you."
Just as they were about to reach the Baratie, Luffy, as in the story, encountered Navy Lieutenant Fullbody.Looking at Fullbody, who called himself Iron Fist, Luffy shook his head speechlessly.While Fullbody was still boasting, Luffy unleashed a powerful Tempest Kick, destroying the opposing warship before speeding away.Finally, after a long voyage, Luffy and his crew arrived at their destination—the Baratie.Nami, looking at the building, knew that the day she and Luffy would part ways was approaching, but she still forced a smile and entered the restaurant with the others.
