One Piece: How Can I Become King Of The Pirate If You Don’t Work Hard?

Chapter 66: Baratie



Jasmine was slightly stunned when she realized what Gaza was thinking and said hurriedly: "My lord... This is a treasure that your father spent hundreds of millions of Belly to buy from the Grand Line!"

"Well."

Gaza smiles playfully: "Anyway, one person can only eat one devil fruit. Since my father gave it to me, I naturally have the right to dispose of it."

"I can't offer any help to Mr. Gawain, who is about to enter the Grand Line, but this devil fruit is different."

Jasmine held her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Gawain.

Originally, before they met Gawain, Gaza was, in her mind, an almost perfect lord except for her ordinary appearance.

Brave, wise, knowledgeable, and kind, you can see in her all the qualities required in aristocratic etiquette classes.

It has only been a few years since she took over the harbor, but she has already gained everyone's respect. 

If things continue to develop in this way, it is possible for her to compete with her brothers for the right of inheritance.

But after meeting Gawain, Gaza seemed to be possessed.

Isn't he just a pretty boy who is good-looking, capable, and a little gentle?

All right.

It sounds attractive.

Jasmine recalled Gawain's face, which looked like a prince charming who walked out of a storybook and said weakly: "Miss, before we found the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia to compare it, we didn't even know its name. Have you ever thought about if it is a devil fruit that they can use?"

"That's right…"

Gaza was stunned: "Then let's wait until we are sure what devil fruit this is before handing it over to Mr. Gawain."

"I heard from Jango and the others that it will take some time before Mr. Gawain sets sail."

"Hmm."

Jasmine nodded repeatedly, not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer, and turned around to talk about the news she had heard at the harbor.

"By the way, I heard that the ocean-going restaurant, Baratie, will arrive at Raven Harbor tomorrow and stay here for three days."

Gaza's eye lights up: "That restaurant with the highest rating in East Blue?!"

"Um."

"Then we'll go there tomorrow!"

… … … 

The next day, at nightfall.

The lights in Raven Harbor are bright.

Along the harbor is a row of ship shops, selling goods from all over the East Blue and even on the Grand Line.

People were coming and going in the harbor, and everyone had already recovered from the previous war.

Now that Raven Harbor is under the protection of the White Knight Pirate, the surrounding waterways are becoming safer and more prosperous than ever before.

The most eye-catching among all the shops is undoubtedly the restaurant in the middle, a boat shaped like a big fish.

"Baratie."

Gaza slowly read out the name of the restaurant.

Several guards followed her, keeping a watchful eye on the people around them, but they still couldn't help but sniffle because the aroma coming from the restaurant was so fragrant.

Just smelling it once makes it hard to forget.

Soon, a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short blond hair, a handsome appearance, and gentlemanly manners, walked quickly toward Gaza.

The young man was none other than Sanji, who was currently learning cooking at the Baratie.

The moment he saw Gaza, Sanji's heart skipped a beat. He quickly walked up to Gaza and bowed like a gentleman: "Ma'am, please come this way. I will provide you with the best service."

"Thanks."

After thanking him, Gaza followed Sanji into the restaurant.

A few minutes later.

On the second-floor observation deck, Sanji diligently poured red wine for Gaza with graceful movements, but his eyes kept glancing at Gaza, and his breathing became heavier.

Gaza's attention was drawn to a bounty posted on the wall: "White Knight Gawain, a bounty of 85 million Belly? Has the bounty on Mr. Gawain increased again?"

A smile unconsciously appeared on Gaza's face.

During this time, she has come to understand that bounty can largely reflect the threat posed by a pirate and is also a proof of strength.

The increase in Gawain's bounty undoubtedly shows that the Marines attach more importance to him, and his reputation directly overshadows all the pirates in East Blue.

Gaza couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Jasmine nodded: "Miss, don't you know yet?"

"This happened over a month ago. Ever since the battle at Raven Harbor subsided, Mr. Gawain's bounty has been raised to this level."

After speaking, Jasmine paused for a moment, and then she noticed that Gaza's eyes were full of fatigue. 

She felt an indescribable pain in her heart: "Now that things in the harbor have returned to normal, it's time for you to take a break."

Gaza smiled and shook her head: "Mr. Gawain is moving towards his dream. I can't lose to him."

"At least I must make this the most prosperous harbor in the East Blue."

While the two girls were talking, they didn't notice that Sanji had already stopped what he was doing.

He lowered his face, making them unable to see his expression clearly, and waited until the two girls' voices gradually died down before he spoke: "Ladies, I advise you not to worship that guy. After all, he is a bastard who abandoned his beloved princess and lived alone."

"I will never accept such a person having the title of loyal Knight!"

Hearing the undisguised anger in Sanji's tone, Gaza frowned slightly: "If it was the man I knew who was willing to fight Admiral Krieg's fleet alone for the civilians of Raven Harbor, he would never do such a thing."

Sanji gritted his teeth and said in a voice that was almost a roar: "You don't know yet?"

"Less than three months after that man set sail, Princess Guinevere was executed!"

Gaza was stunned. Just as she was about to speak a few words to defend Gawain, a deep voice came to her ears.

"Sanji!"

"You scared the two guests!"

The two girls turned around and saw an old man wearing an extra long chef's hat and with a disabled leg frowning at Sanji.

"You bastard, do you remember what I told you? You must never be so rude to women!"

Seeing Sanji lowering his head in shame, Zeff turned to Gaza and explained: "Please understand that Princess Guinevere has a special meaning to this little brat."

"After all... "

"Asshole boss!"

Sanji interrupted Zeff and turned around, then was kicked into the sea by Zeff.

Thump!

The water surface splashed, attracting the attention of people around.

Zeff then turned to Gaza and apologized: "I'm so sorry, your consumption tonight is free."

"No need."

Gaza's face turned cold. At this point, she had no appetite for dinner. She turned around and left with Jasmine and the guards.

On the street, Sanji, who had just climbed out of the water, looked at Gaza, who was leaving quickly, silently lit a cigarette for himself, and stood alone for a long time before walking back into the Baratie while murmuring: "It seems that I am also not worthy of the title of a Knight."

At the same time, somewhere in East Blue, the members of the White Knight Pirate were sitting on the deck, watching the movie that Nami was playing on the Projector Den Den Mushi.

The charming princess falls in love with the loyal knight.
