It seemed that Zoro was really about to use a knife to chop someone.

At this time Xu Kangping had to stand up.

Explained everything that happened before in detail.

"Actually, that's not the case. The navy lady misunderstood."

"..."

After listening to Xu Kangping's explanation.

Luffy and the others finally understood what had happened.

They all looked at Zoro with some pity.

At this time, Nami also remembered that she had seen Zoro in the naval base before.

I originally thought that Zoro was working to earn money.

I didn't expect the experience to be so bumpy.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Zoro immediately looked at Xu Kangping with some gratitude.

But then I thought that it was all Xu Kangping's fault that everyone misunderstood me!

Suddenly, Zoro's expression became very conflicted.

Does he still want to kill Xu Kangping?

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"My name is Xu Kangping, and I'm a chef."

“Of course, I can also sell some ingredients part-time occasionally.”

Xu Kangping looked at everyone and introduced them seriously.

After all, we will need to follow the Straw Hat Pirates for the next few days.

"I'm Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King."

Luffy also looked at Xu Kangping seriously as he introduced him.

Luffy then went on to introduce Zoro and the others.

“Are you a chef too?”

Next to him, Sanji looked at Xu Kangping with interest.

"Yes, I originally wanted to participate in the cooking competition in Rogue Town."

“It’s a pity that I didn’t register in time.”

Xu Kangping said with some regret.

He really wanted that elephant tuna.

But then Xu Kangping suddenly remembered that the elephant tuna was won by Sanji!

Now that he is on the Golden Merry again, wouldn't he have the chance to taste the elephant tuna?

Thinking about it this way, it is not unacceptable to board the Golden Merry.

"By the way, if you want to take a boat, you have to pay the fare!"

Nami said while looking at Xu Kangping with a smile on her face.

As for what Luffy has already agreed to, does that have anything to do with the ship fare?

"of course."

Xu Kangping nodded decisively.

Then he took out a palm-sized ruby ​​from the storage space.

"This gem will be my passage fee."

When Xu Kangping took out the ruby, Nami's eyes were almost glued to it.

After hearing Xu Kangping say that he would use this ruby ​​as payment for the boat fare.

Nami snatched the ruby ​​away in an instant.

The speed was so fast that Xu Kangping almost couldn't see clearly.

After a closer inspection, I found that it was a real ruby.

Nami couldn't help but press the ruby ​​against her cheek.

Feeling the touch of the gem, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But it was different from Nami, whose attention was focused on the ruby.

Luffy and the others were more concerned about the way Xu Kangping suddenly took out the ruby.

Just now, they didn't realize how the ruby ​​appeared in Xu Kangping's hand.

"Devil fruit powers?"

Sanji couldn't help but guess.

After all, it seems that this kind of thing can only be done by the power of the devil fruit.

"It's not a devil fruit ability, but an ability brought by gourmet cells."

Xu Kangping explained somewhat casually.

However, Luffy and the others were completely confused by Xu Kangping's explanation.

But there was one thing that Luffy was very concerned about.

"By the way, is this gourmet cell delicious?"

They're called "gourmet" cells! They should be delicious!

"Forehead……"

After hearing Luffy's question, Xu Kangping hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Organisms with gourmet cells are likely to be delicious."

Of course there are exceptions, but not many.

"Really? Where can I find gourmet cells to eat?"

Luffy looked at Xu Kangping with shining eyes.

Gourmet cells are things he has never eaten.

Looking at the curious Luffy, Xu Kangping simply took out a large amount of delicacies from the captive world.

And they are all meat delicacies that suit Luffy's taste, barbecued meat from the barbecue tree, steak shale, chicken leg fruit...

“These are foods with gourmet cells.”

“Try it!”

Xu Kangping looked at everyone and invited them.

The ruby ​​basically belongs to Nami, and this meat can be considered as the boat fare for others.

Smelling the aroma of these delicacies, Luffy couldn't help but pick up a piece of barbecue and start eating.

As the barbecued meat enters your mouth, the rich gravy explodes directly in your mouth.

“It’s so delicious!”

As Luffy said this, he didn't forget to stuff meat into his mouth.

Hearing Luffy's praise, Sanji couldn't help but taste it.

The taste is really good.

But these foods gave him a strange feeling.

It doesn't taste like it's been cooked, but rather like it has this natural taste.

Seeing this, Nami and Usopp also tasted it and couldn't help but praise it.

Only Zoro remained unmoved, and it was obvious that he had not yet let go of what had happened before.

Xu Kangping thought about it and took out a few beer coconuts.

Zoro, who had originally not cared, couldn't help but look at the beer coconuts. He seemed to smell alcohol!

Seeing that Zoro was obviously interested, Xu Kangping smiled and threw a beer coconut at Zoro.

“Come and try it!”

“This is a very good beer.”

Zoro caught the beer coconut.

Then, with a flash of a knife, the beer coconut was cut open, revealing the golden beer inside.

Zoro took a sip and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Isn't this wine good?"

After praising him, Zoro simply picked up a piece of shale steak and started eating.

................................................

While they were eating, the Golden Merry had already passed through the clouds and the top of Upside-Down Mountain became clearly visible.

"How spectacular! We're above the clouds!"

Luffy didn't care about eating meat at this time. He looked around excitedly and shouted loudly.

"Look, it's the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain!"

Nami pointed ahead and looked equally excited.

The others, including Xu Kangping, were looking towards the top of Upside-Down Mountain at this time, and they couldn't help but become excited.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Golden Merry quickly rushed to the top of the mountain.

Then, driven by the ocean current, it began to sail down the Upside-Down Mountain along the canal leading to the Grand Line.

Looking at the clouds below, Xu Kangping couldn't help but feel curious about how Upside-Down Mountain was formed.

You should know that the height of Upside-Down Mountain is definitely over ten thousand meters.

However, the ocean currents in the four seas can actually transport sea water to such a high position.

This is outrageous no matter how you think about it.

Of course, being able to dig five canals on the Upside-Down Mountain is also an outrageous thing.

However, in the world of One Piece, there are still some such outrageous things.

But the situation of Upside-Down Mountain is obviously not naturally formed!

In Xu Kangping's opinion, the formation of Upside-Down Mountain is most likely related to the power of the devil fruit or the technology of the legendary giant kingdom.

Apart from this, Xu Kangping couldn't think of any other reason.
