People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Nami stood up in surprise and said, "Ace, what are you doing here?! No... it's normal to be here... but the way you are, who are you...?"

When Ace saw Nami, he thought he was on Luffy's ship or in a shop. Anyway, he was free. Ace laughed and said, "Where is this place? Where is that brat Luffy?"

Nami shook her head and said, "I don't know where Luffy is either. When we were on Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy beat up a Celestial Dragon, so we were cornered by the Marines. Then, Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, sent us flying. I don't know where Luffy and the others flew off to..."

Ace was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hahaha! As expected of Luffy, you actually beat a Celestial Dragon! Hahahaha! As expected of my little brother!"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized who the person in front of them was—Captain Nami's brother! What a coincidence! Ace sighed and said, "Really... I wanted to chat with Luffy for a while, what a pity! Nami, do you know where we are?"

"This is a restaurant!"

"Hmm! Where is it?"

"Different world!"

"Uh-huh?!"

Ace's expression froze instantly. What the hell?! Another world?! Are you serious?! Ace looked at Nami and said, "Nami, this isn't the time for jokes! I have to get back quickly! Otherwise, something terrible will happen!"

Nami quickly said, "But...but what I said is true! This really is another world! It's not our original world! I only came here by chance!"

Ace was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Damn it! I thought I had escaped! But I ended up in another world! It would have been better to be in the prison! At least there was some hope there!"

Nami said doubtfully, "Ace, don't worry, you can go back from here. Just open the door and you'll be back in the same spot."

Nami's words made Ace breathe a sigh of relief and he said, "Is that so... But... the worst outcome is still not resolved... So what are you doing here, Nami?"

"Eating? This is my second time here."

"Eat... Luffy and the others?"

"They didn't know this place. To be precise, there was a period when the shop door couldn't be opened, and they didn't believe it, so only Zoro and I knew about it. I'm here waiting for Zoro now. Putting that aside, what happened to you? And these Seastone handcuffs..."

Ace nodded, sighed, and recounted the whole story. After he finished, Nami said in a terrified voice, "Then... what do we do? If you get caught, Whitebeard will definitely come to your rescue! Then... there will be a great battle!"

Ace gritted his teeth and said, "That's exactly what I meant! It will implicate a lot of brothers!"

Nami thought for a while but couldn't come up with a good idea, while Bai Yu looked at them with an expression of utter disbelief the whole time. If Nami invited Ace, Ace wouldn't be stuck in prison if he left with Nami... Or maybe they could just connect to the world directly...

Meanwhile, the Marine Headquarters was in an uproar. Ace, who was supposed to be executed, had escaped! And he had simply vanished into thin air without leaving a trace!

An old man eating senbei laughed and said, "Hahaha! Sengoku! Don't be so nervous! At least we can be sure that nothing major has happened, and it hasn't affected the Navy's reputation."

Sengoku shouted, "Garp! If Ace's disappearance isn't a big deal when he was supposed to be executed, then what is?! And if a criminal who was announced to be executed by the whole world escapes, how can the Navy's reputation not be affected?!"

Upon hearing this, all the generals looked uneasy. This was a major event. An old woman said in a deep voice, "Sengoku, I think Garp is right. No movement is actually the best outcome!"

"What?! Crane, do you know what you're saying?!"

"Sengoku! Calm down! Let me finish!"

Sengoku was somewhat surprised, which was why he reacted this way. After thinking for a while, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General Tsuru, please speak."

Tsuru nodded and said in a deep voice, "First of all, we can be sure that Ace did not escape by violence or was rescued by an organization, but he is indeed missing. However, no one knows the specifics of the situation."

Sengoku and the others nodded, and Tsuru continued, "Secondly, we didn't let Ace show his face; we only issued a notice, so many people on the high seas don't believe it."

Sengoku said in a deep voice, "But we have already released the entire process of capturing Ace!"

"Warring States period, that can be salvaged. There are many ways to do it. Garp, if it were you, what would you say to salvage it?"

Garp replied without hesitation, "Just say it's to lure out and eliminate Whitebeard."

Tsuru nodded and said, "Although it's far-fetched, it's not wrong, because it's a lie that can be justified, just like catching Ace. It's the last and most crucial point."

“Ace has indeed vanished into thin air. He is completely gone. There are many ways to explain this, so it won't damage the Navy's reputation. We can say it's an exercise or something. In short, we must search for Ace while stopping the spread of the news about Ace's execution. Otherwise, the wider the scope, the harder it will be to handle.”

After thinking for a long time, Sengoku sighed and said, "Immediately issue a notice saying that Ace's execution time is pending, and search with all our might in the meantime. If we can't find him... what will we do with Tsuru?"

"They were rescued by a Devil Fruit user suspected of having spatial abilities, or we need to find a scapegoat. This scapegoat absolutely cannot be the Navy. Anyway, there are many ways. Let's go search! Vice Admiral Onigumo, all of you go out and search too. There are no ships, no Devil Fruit abilities, no destruction or riots. If we can't find them anywhere in the surrounding sea, then they really are missing or have been rescued."

Zhan Guo sighed and waved his hand, and everyone dispersed. He was also lost in thought. This was too bizarre, like a dream.

Chapter 491 The gloating Whitebeard, World Connection? (Please subscribe~)

While the entire headquarters was searching for Ace, Kizaru was leisurely wandering around. He thought of a place, but he knew he wouldn't be able to catch him there, so he decided to just slack off.

At this moment, even a beautiful woman who seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll frowned and said in a deep voice, "Admiral Kizaru... you don't seem to be in any hurry at all?"

"There's no use in me being anxious, is there?"

The woman glanced at Kizaru and said in a deep voice, "That's true, but I feel like Admiral Kizaru, you seem to be taking things a little too easy."

Kizaru laughed and said, "I know what's going on over there. It's quite a coincidence that Portgas D. Ace isn't actually bound to his cell with both hands."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Garp, while eating a senbei (rice cracker), laughed and said, "Hahaha! Borsalino, this matter is somewhat related to you."

"Oh dear~ Vice Admiral Garp, why do you say that?"

Garp laughed and said, "It's because Sentomaru and the others suddenly reported that you, Borsalino, were missing that the entire headquarters was shaken! Hahahaha!"

"Hmm? What does that have to do with this?"

Garp glanced at Kizaru and laughed, "Of course it's related! Because when the report was given, it happened right after the interrogation, when they were going to put him back in jail, but they just threw him back with sea stone handcuffs on! Hahahaha!"

Kizaru was taken aback, scratched his head and said with a smile, "That's quite a coincidence. But it's really scary when something like this happens to you. Anyway, my questioning is over."

Garp chuckled and said, "You went to a restaurant in another world and had a delicious meal. A day there is about the same as a month here, which is why you disappeared for so long, Borsalino..."

"Ok?"

"That's outrageous! How could you not tell me about a place like this! Your description makes me hungry! How infuriating!"

Kizaru was taken aback, his lips twitched slightly, and then he smiled and said, "I don't know how to get there either. Maybe it's in this world. Anyway, I haven't had the chance to go in since."

"That's a real shame. Alright then, I'll go watch from the sidelines! Hahahaha!"

Garp was actually quite happy to learn that Ace was missing. After all, he had watched Ace grow up and treated him like his own grandson. However, he was somewhat disappointed to see Ace executed, but he didn't say anything.

However, the problem is now solved. Ace has gone missing. As long as he escapes and can return to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy will be powerless to catch him.

The female marine from before, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, said in a deep voice, "So, Admiral Kizaru, does that shop really exist?"

"Of course I speak the truth to my own people; that's a fine quality of the navy."

The woman smiled and said, "If I'm telling the whole truth... why do I feel like you know how to get back to that store?"

"Hmm? What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing much, I just feel like I've found a nice place. Maybe I can just happen to go there someday, Admiral Kizaru."

Kizaru said with a smile, "Remember to order a large bowl of ramen, it's really good~"

"Thanks for the advice."

Just as the search was underway, another earthquake struck the sea. Shortly after the execution of Ace was announced, another message came out that the execution had been postponed and the execution date was yet to be determined.

On a large ship, a tall old man who was receiving an IV drip was gazing at the sea in deep thought when he suddenly saw a blond pineapple... no... a man running towards him.

The old man chuckled and said, "Gulalalala... Marco, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?"

Marco, panting, said, "Dad! There's an emergency!"

Whitebeard paused for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile, "Gurararara... I don't think anything is more urgent than rescuing my son, your brother Ace!"

Marco quickly said, "Dad! It's about Ace!"

"Ok?"

"The Navy suddenly announced that Ace's execution has been temporarily cancelled, and the sentence will be rescheduled! The specific date is unknown!"

Whitebeard paused, then thought for a long time before suddenly laughing and saying, "Marco! Have them all keep an eye on things and gather information! Ace should be safe for now! Gurarara!"

"Hey? Dad! Why did you say that?"

"The confirmed time hadn't been announced for long, and it wasn't even widely known yet, when the Navy suddenly withdrew the execution time and made it pending. Marco, what do you think is the reason?"

Marco thought for a moment and said, "Ace... Ace is in trouble! It's definitely not because he's sick, because there would be no need to delay. It can only be... Ace has gone missing! Or he's been rescued! The Navy is searching for him!"

Whitebeard smiled and nodded, and Marco, also beaming with joy, said, "So, Father, we should immediately go and gather information about the Navy and the sea!"

"That's right, Marco, go do it! Sengoku must be furious! Gurarara!"

Ace, on the other side, also calmed down. The reason was simple: Bai Yu casually asked, "Mr. Ace over there, was it daytime or nighttime when you came here?"

"I don't know! Does it matter?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "It should be almost daytime... or just after nightfall... It's really hard to calculate without synchronized time. Don't worry, as someone under close surveillance by the Navy, if you suddenly disappear, they will definitely try to stall you."

"What do you mean?"

Lucifer said irritably, "That means the Navy will definitely release news that the execution will be postponed in order to cover up your disappearance. Your captain, as one of the Four Emperors, can guess the general idea and won't act rashly."

Hearing this, Ace breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Whitebeard and the others wouldn't be implicated, everything would be fine. However, Ace quickly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "But if I go back, I'll still end up in the prison."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, Ace breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some doubt, "Connecting to the world... does connecting to the world mean that you can also go to our world, Mr. Shopkeeper? Are there any other effects besides that?"

"No, it's just a simple connection. As for the customers in the store wanting to go to your world, they need my permission first."

After thinking for a moment, Ace sighed and said, "Anyway, we're safe now. Manager, please give me something to eat first. I'm starving. We'll talk about it after I eat. Anyway, now that Daddy and the others are safe, I'm safe, and Luffy is safe, there's nothing more to say."

"Okay, what would you like to eat?"

"Meat! Wine!"

"You guys really do order in the same way."

"Haha! Thank you, shop manager!"

"It's alright, please wait a moment."

Chapter 492 The Not-So-Sturdy Seastone Handcuffs (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu thought about what to feed Ace. It seemed that Ace was not the kind of person who would order so casually. The fact that he could say something so simple meant that he must be quite hungry.

Generally speaking, when you're really hungry, you'll inevitably want to eat some high-calorie foods, even if you're content with just having something to eat.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Yu still made him the same dish as Zoro, and also made a soup with the leftover winter melon from the previous meal for Hancock, because even if he was hungry, he couldn't eat too much oily food directly.

Meanwhile, Ace and Nami were having more complicated thoughts. Nami was wondering why Zoro hadn't come yet, while Ace was thinking about how to get back and whether he should connect to the world.

After all, not everyone is Tony or Ash. Tony is friendly to his friends, but he is arrogant to others, so he doesn't care what others think. In his eyes, Bai Yu is his friend, so he is definitely not a bad person. He can connect with Bai Yu, and others don't even need to know.

It's similar for Ash, except that he has no idea what connecting to the world means, so he doesn't need to worry about so many things.

In fact, Bai Yu and his friends only caught two Pokémon to play with. In that other world, Pokémon were the only things they were interested in. They didn't sell them themselves, so they didn't say anything.

Lucifer glanced at Ace and said lazily, "Since you're a great pirate, do you also have that Devil Fruit?"

Ace was taken aback, but didn't refute, nodding and saying, "Ah, yes, I'm also a Devil Fruit user."

"Huh? What kind of Devil Fruit do you have? We had a Logia-type Kizaru before, so I'd like to see Paramecia and Zoan-type Devil Fruits. What type of Devil Fruit do you have?"

Yukari Yakumo and the others were also very interested in that Devil Fruit. After seeing the Logia-type fruits, they became even more curious about the other two.

Ace said somewhat awkwardly, "Then you might be disappointed... I have a Logia-type Devil Fruit..."

Although somewhat disappointed, Lucifer still asked with a puzzled look, "So what is your ability?"

"flame."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said with some doubt, "If you fight on the ship, aren't you afraid of setting the ship on fire if you use your abilities?"

"Um... this..."

Lucifer's question stunned Nami and Ace. It did seem a bit too outrageous; weren't they afraid of setting the ship on fire?

After hesitating for a moment, Pandemonica said softly, "Boss, I personally think it's already abnormal that a brand can't be removed but injuries can heal quickly, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about."

Lucifer nodded in agreement, while Yukari Yakumo said with a headache, "So the humans in your world are really both normal and abnormal. It's amazing that humans can grow so tall, more than three meters."

Ace asked in confusion, "Isn't that normal?"

"This isn't normal!" x6

Ace scratched his head and said, "I think three meters is alright... Dad's probably over six meters tall..."

"Six meters..." x6

Even Yuuka Kazami felt a headache coming on. Was this human serious? Wasn't it a bit too much? Lucifer sighed and said, "So, what about women? What's the average height?"
