Traveling with Indra

Ming Luo was invited to the Spade Pirates to eat the dinosaur-type sea king together. Looking at the huge body like a mountain, the scales shining with mysterious light, hard as iron and indestructible, Ming Luo swallowed subconsciously.

"Is this thing really edible?" The giant lantern eyes just now scared her so much that she almost screamed.

"It's edible. It's super delicious." Ace showed a sunny smile, held up his hat and called for his friends to come and get the meat.

Ming Luo hesitated for a moment, then took out a machete and followed to take the meat, peeling off the skin at the same time, thinking it could be made into a good quality blanket. Maybe it could also be made into animal skin clothing, which would have good defensive power.

Bones and scales are hard, right?

Should be able to grind something.

"..."

"..."

The Spade Pirates were stunned. Didn't this girl just doubt that sea kings were inedible? Now she was calculating the functions of bones, fur, and scales?

[This girl... is a natural! ]

[Normally, shouldn't you be surprised that this is a pirate ship? ]

As a girl who grew up in the mountains, when I see something, I first think about whether it can be eaten. If it can't be eaten, I will see if it can be used. If it can't be eaten or used, I will look at the price. If it can be sold, I will find a way to sell it.

Everyone sat at the table to eat, but Ming Luo wanted to vomit after taking the first bite. She had an indescribable expression on her face. How could the people around her eat this half-cooked and slightly salty meat?

"You don't want to eat?" Ace raised his head and looked at her in pain. "Deuce, she seems injured."

"My tongue was hit hard." Ming Luo gulped down a mouthful of water and looked at the pirates who were used to it with pity. "Well, I'll process the rest for you. It's a thank you for taking me in."

Ming Luo rolled up her sleeves, looked in the kitchen, took out her own kitchen utensils, and called two tools to help. The half-cooked meat was used for stewing and roasting, sprinkled with chili powder and barbecue seasoning, and the aroma soon spread.

The pirates were intoxicated by the smell outside. Apprentice chef Bonsi didn't know how to cook, he only knew how to season with salt. He didn't expect to be able to taste this on the ship, it was really touching.

Everyone's appetite was booming, and soon they started to eat a lot. Everyone's stomach was full.

Ming Luo wiped the sweat off her face, took off her apron, picked up a handful of skewers, leaned on the cabin and ate slowly, admiring the sunset and thinking about life.

"Hey, what's your name?" Ace was still holding a large piece of meat and grilling it left and right on the grill.

"Mingluo, I've introduced myself." How complicated.

"Sorry!" The boy's face was covered with meat and grease stains, and his smile was bright but insincere.

"Heh!" Ming Luo smiled lightly. Although it was like this... she felt pretty good. In fact, she was not used to the complicated etiquette in the Demon Slayer world, such as being respectful to seniors and using honorifics. It was so troublesome.

Ace like this makes people feel complicated. Mingluo remembers seeing Ace before. He was very gloomy when he was a child, but now he looks very much like Luffy. Was he influenced by his younger brother?

"Would you like to be the cook on our ship?"

"I refuse." Ming Luo rubbed her temples. Although she knew that they had suffered a lot from their predecessors, was it okay to just randomly bring someone on board? She should investigate first. [My origins are unknown, hey! ]

"Huh? Why? Just do it!" Ace didn't understand. They were getting along so well, they were already friends.

"Three points." Ming Luo raised three fingers and stated her reasons.

1I'm not ready to be a pirate yet.

2 You eat too much and your workload is too heavy.

3The Captain is too dangerous!

Of course, Mingluo hadn't mentioned the most direct reason yet. If she got involved with Ace, she might get involved in the war. If a bond was formed, she would be troubled.

"Captain?" The pirates looked at Ace. Is it dangerous? In what way?

"Me?" Ace was also stunned. They just met, okay? How could he tell that he was dangerous?

"I heard that you always steal meat from the kitchen at night, causing frequent food shortages on the ship... It's too dangerous." Eating and drinking excessively on the sea will come at a price.

"That's right! That's right!" Several people echoed crazily. Ace was in great danger.

"Hey! You guys!" Ace shut himself in, biting the barbecue in his mouth in frustration. How could he often let everyone go short of food? Wasn't he just hungry?

"Hahahaha!"

"So, we need a professional chef to manage the food." Deuce coughed lightly. This problem has troubled everyone for a long time. "If you think the workload is too heavy, I can arrange shifts for them. Two people will help you every day."

"I don't want to be a pirate. I will disembark at the next island, and I can work part-time as a chef before that." Ming Luo still refused. She was not interested in this. Besides, being a wanted criminal would definitely bring endless troubles.

No one forced it. The crew thought that recruitment was the captain's job, but Ace thought that once you're on board, don't even think about getting off. Mingluo lived with Bonsi, the only woman on the ship, for a few days.

The Spade Pirates enjoyed the baptism of Chinese food, and everyone learned a little bit about cooking, such as how much water to put in cooking rice, how to prepare barbecue seasonings, and how to make simple stir-fry dishes.

To them, Mingluo is a very magical person. Her personality seems to be lukewarm, but when she sees the captain making a mistake and putting the ship in danger, she will go full throttle and scold the captain.

For example, now, the ship encountered a tsunami, and the captain wanted to use the ship to go surfing. Feeling that her life was threatened, Ming Luo grabbed the captain's collar, raised her eyebrows and started to scold him.

"How much money do you have in your pocket? This boat has just been repaired, so you don't like it?"

"...No." Ace weakened a bit when the money was mentioned.

"Don't forget, I helped to advance some of the cost of repairing the ship." Ming Luo slapped him on the head and yelled at the navigator next to him. "What are you standing there for? Run!"

"Yes!" Everyone changed their course and would rather die than go surfing a tsunami.

Ace was grabbed by a man who was a head shorter than him, and he tilted his head with a question mark on his face. Why was he unable to resist? I always felt that Mingluo was a combination of Makino and Dadan.

【How strange! 】

The crew members looked up at Ming Luo, who was so angry that she wanted to kill the captain, and they were impressed again in their hearts: this momentum and aura made the captain unable to raise his head.

Ship's Doctor Deus: Savior!

Sniper Michal: Wow...this is so rare!

Ming Luo dealt with Ace and turned around to see the people around him slacking off. "What are you doing? Did you clean the deck? Did you do the training? Did you finish fetching water?"

"Go right away!"

"Ahhh, hurry up, hurry up."

Mingluo walked over to Bangxi, took the tea she handed over, took a sip and sighed heavily. "I feel like I'm going to shorten my life."

Emma, ​​this pirate group is so scary.

My social phobia has been somewhat cured!

Bonsi: Well...it's hard work. It's our captain's fault for being such an idiot.

Mingluo: I didn’t join!
