People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Standing on the beach, Rayleigh looked out at the sea and sighed, saying, "I didn't expect to get this kind of news... They really put in a lot of effort... It was faster than I anticipated. I guess I'm still quite young! Hahahaha!"

"Hey! Rayleigh!"

"Oh! Luffy!"

Hancock and the others walked over from behind Luffy. When Rayleigh saw Hancock, he smiled and said, "Hancock, it's been a long time. You've grown so much. But you didn't kick Luffy out."

Hancock said softly, "I'm only doing this for Nami's sake."

"Huh? Nami's here too? Isn't she supposed to be somewhere else?"

"I went to Mr. Shiraha's shop and met Nami. Mr. Shiraha is truly wonderful!"

Rayleigh was taken aback and said in confusion, "So it really is that shop... Hancock, we'll talk about that later. Luffy, I have some news for you: Ace is safe for now."

Luffy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Really?!"

"It's true, the Navy has decided to postpone the execution, but anyone with a brain knows that Ace is nowhere to be found. Right now, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy are looking for him."

Luffy laughed and said, "Great! Ace will be alright!"

"Hmm! Hancock, I've rowed all this way, so please give me some food. I also wanted to tell you about that shop."

"No problem! Sonia, Mary! Go and make the arrangements!"

"It's Big Sister!"

Rayleigh chuckled and said, "Hancock, you're really easy to talk to when that shop comes up."

"Hmph! Rayleigh! What's wrong with Mr. Shiraha's shop?!"

"Huh? Hahaha!"

Chapter 495 Rayleigh is coming, and Hancock is unhappy (Please subscribe~)

On Snake Island, a windless island that belongs only to women, two men were feasting in the banquet hall—or rather, the young man was feasting.

Boa Hancock, seated at the head of the table, held a glass of wine and said in a deep voice, "Rayleigh, what do you want to say?"

Rayleigh laughed and said, "I never expected that you would be able to get to that store after about ten years."

Grandma New also said with a smile, "I never thought that the shop you and Shakky talked about actually existed, and that Snake Princess was saved both times she went there."

Rayleigh was stunned when he heard this, then quickly realized something and said in disbelief, "Hey, hey, hey, it can't be that it's gone, can it?"

Hancock laughed and said, "That's right! It was Mr. Baiyu who freed me from the shackles of Sonia and Mary, and made my heartache disappear! As expected of Mr. Baiyu!"

Rayleigh laughed and said, "Looks like Shakky and I were really lucky back then."

"Rayleigh! That's Mr. Shiraha's achievement! What are you showing off?!"

Rayleigh ate a piece of meat from some unknown animal and said with a smile, "Hmm, it's pretty good, but it's still not as good as Manager Shiraha's."

Hancock immediately smiled and said, "Rayleigh! So you can say things that make people happy! That's right! How can ordinary food compare to Mr. Shiraha's cooking?! Just thinking about how I ever ate a meal that Mr. Shiraha prepared especially for me makes me feel incredibly happy!"

While eating, Luffy said in confusion, "Eh? Doesn't that look delicious? I really want to try it! Hahaha!"

Hancock stated directly, "Mr. Shiraha's shop isn't one you can just go to whenever you want!"

Luffy was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Alright! I'll go after I become the Pirate King! Hahahaha!"

Hancock covered her face with one hand and said softly, "How vulgar... Rayleigh, you didn't come here just to tell me a message, did you?"

Rayleigh thought for a moment, glanced at Luffy, and said, "Luffy, didn't you and your crew agree to meet again in three days? But it's long past that time, and they can't make it there in time. Some of them may have just landed and are recovering from their injuries."

Luffy thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense!"

"And if you go to the New World like this, do you think your strength is enough?"

Luffy thought about what happened on Sabaody Archipelago, and then about how even Ace was captured. He said somewhat seriously, "So we should take advantage of this time while they're recovering to train properly!"

Rayleigh gave a smug smile and said, "Alright, let's eat first, Hancock. I have something to tell you later."

"My time is precious, so you'd better say something useful!"

Sonia and Mary both twitched their lips. Your time is indeed very precious... She sat on the bed, hugging her pillow and muttering to herself. When she got tired, she would sleep, and when she woke up, she would continue talking. She even commented on what she was eating.

Luffy was genuinely worried about his older brother and hadn't been eating or sleeping well. Now that he knew Ace was safe for the time being, he felt a little relieved and went straight to sleep after finishing his meal.

Hancock said in a deep voice, "Rayleigh, what are you trying to say?"

Rayleigh looked at Hancock and said, "Luffy's crew member, that kid Zoro, shouted to Nami to go to the shop before he flew away. You also saw Nami in the shop, which means that this was at least the second time Nami went to the shop. You should know how she got there, right?"

Hancock said in a deep voice, "Of course I know! But what do you want to say?"

"What else can I say? Just tell me how to get there! I haven't eaten such delicious food or drunk such good wine in years!"

Hancock looked at Rayleigh and said, "I can take you! But you mustn't tell anyone except Shakky!"

Rayleigh chuckled and said, "Of course, I won't tell anyone! But Sonia and Mary... seem a bit too tall... I'll have Mr. Baiyu make some food and pack it for you!"

Sonia and Mary both nodded. Given their size, it wasn't easy for them to find places to eat. Rayleigh asked expectantly, "When do we leave?"

Hancock said in a deep voice, "Mr. Shiraha's shop only opens at night, so you'll have to wait until then, but it's almost night... Wait! Why haven't I gone there these past two nights?! What stupid thing have I done?!"

Sonia said somewhat helplessly, "Big sister...didn't you say before that you were staying here because you might be summoned and couldn't disappear for too long?"

Hancock paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems the purpose of this gathering was to execute Ace, but since Ace isn't here now, there's probably no need to gather. So, may I...?"

Granny Niu said in a deep voice, "Snake Princess! You are the Empress of Nine Serpents Island! You cannot leave for too long! Two or three days is fine! But if you stay too long, problems will arise!"

Hancock clenched her fist and said with a displeased expression, "You bastard... I was just saying, why did you have to ruin my plans?! Huh?! Damn it!"

"Snake Princess! This is not something you can joke about!"

"What are you saying, you traitor from Amazon Lily?!"

Granny New shouted, "Snake Princess! Have you forgotten who brought you back to the island?! Who treated you like their own daughters?! Who kept your secrets and took care of you?! If I hadn't been living outside, how could you have come back?! You...!"

"Alright, alright, Granny, you know your sister's personality!"

"Stop talking about those little favors! Humph~"

Rayleigh looked at Granny New, who was shouting angrily, and said with a smile, "That's just how Hancock is, you don't need to take it too seriously."

"Phew! I'm not putting up with this anymore! I'm leaving!"

As she spoke, Granny New walked out. Hancock knew why she left. It wasn't the first time she had angered Granny New, but she had never actually run away from her. It was obvious that it was getting late and she didn't want to go to that shop, but staying here wasn't a good idea either, so she left.

Hancock said softly, "That's unnecessary, old lady..."

Rayleigh chuckled and then said nothing more, continuing to drink quietly and wait for the night to arrive.

Chapter 496 Hancock is a hypocrite (Please subscribe~)

It was almost morning, and the long night was finally coming to an end. Even Yakumo Ran breathed a sigh of relief; it really had been an exceptionally long night.

Yukari Yakumo remarked with some emotion, "It's practically everyone from Nami's world tonight. That's really impressive. It's practically a pirate gathering... Wait... a Marine showed up... Eh? Could that Marine be a pirate too? Or maybe an undercover agent?"

Ace's lips twitched slightly as he said, "What level of being could possibly manage to get an admiral to infiltrate the ranks...?"

Yukari Yakumo nodded, then asked with some confusion, "What did the shopkeeper show you that you were looking at so intently?"

"A comic! Seriously, this guy is something else! How could it develop like this!"

After glancing at it, Lucifer leaned close to Bai Yu and whispered, "Is it that manga where the female lead dies and immediately falls for that shameless second female lead?"

Bai Yu nodded, and Lucifer's lips twitched as he said, "That's right... It seems Ace is single and probably won't find a girlfriend in the future."

Bai Yu smiled, and Nami looked up in confusion and asked, "What book?"

Lucifer whispered something in Nami's ear, and then Nami said with a look of disgust, "Is that female lead blind? Or is that hero seriously ill? Isn't this disgusting? Anyone who marries a man like that will cry for the rest of their life."

Lucifer nodded and said, "As expected of Nami! Well said!"

"What is Zoro doing? Why isn't he here yet? Is he injured and passed out?"

Lucifer asked with some doubt, "You don't seem worried?"

"Don't worry, Zoro is the kind of person who can survive no matter how much blood he loses. There's absolutely no need to worry. I'm just thinking that if I can't come here during the day, I'll have to wait all day, which means a month will have passed over there."

"Then just stay here. Anyway, there are almost twelve people. Once the time is synchronized, there won't be any ridiculous time difference for you."

"Yeah...wait?! It's lit up again?!"

Everyone turned their heads upon hearing Nami's words, except for Ace, who was engrossed in reading the manga at a crucial moment and was very focused on the hero.

Before Bai Yu could say anything after turning around, a long leg strode in. Everyone's lips twitched when they saw the leg, and then Hancock walked in.

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "So should I say 'it's been a few hours,' or 'it's been a few days'?"

Hancock didn't say anything, but simply smiled and called out, "Mr. Shiraha! I'm back! Although we've been apart for a few days, I've missed you terribly!"

Just as Bai Yu was about to say something, he saw another man follow Hancock in. Upon seeing him, Bai Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Rayleigh, it seems that time has left even more marks on you."

Rayleigh laughed and said, "It's been so many years, Shopkeeper Shiraha! Hahaha! Ha... Ace?!"

Rayleigh's words stunned everyone, including Hancock. After glancing at him, Hancock exclaimed in disbelief, "Ace, whom the whole world has been searching for, is actually with Mr. Shiraha?! Has Mr. Shiraha saved someone else again? How great!"

Everyone, including Bai Yu, twitched at the corner of their mouths. In just a short while, Hancock felt that so much had happened. Rayleigh saw Ace engrossed in a book with a tense expression, walked over, tapped Ace on the head, and shouted, "You brat! The whole world has been looking for you like crazy! And you're reading a book here?!"

Ace was stunned when he saw Rayleigh. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Rayleigh sigh and say, "It's fortunate that you're alright. How do you plan to get back? You'll probably reappear in Impel Down."

After Ace recounted what had happened, Rayleigh didn't say anything. He trusted Shakky's sixth sense, and he also trusted Bai Yu. Even if he opened a passage, not just anyone could come. He was fearless.

Hancock exclaimed excitedly, "Really?! After the world is connected, Mr. Shiraha can come to my side too?! That's wonderful!"

Lucifer rolled his eyes and said, "What are you getting so worked up about?"

"In that case, I can come to see Mr. Baiyu anytime, and Mr. Baiyu can come to see me anytime! That's wonderful! I will definitely be there to welcome you at any time!"

Everyone, including Bai Yu, was stunned when they heard this. Something was definitely wrong with you. Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, Luffy is on Hancock's island anyway. Ace, you can come back with me later. As for Nami... you can stay here for now."

"Huh?! Why?!"

"Because if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be training Luffy a bit, and you guys should also rest and learn more."

Nami nodded. She had just mentioned it, and now it had come true. Nami looked at Bai Yu with a pleading expression, and Bai Yu smiled and said, "There are rooms upstairs. I'll take you to choose one during the day."

"Ok!"

Compared to Nami, Hancock almost hated the title of "Empress." Clenching her fists and gritting her teeth, she glared at Nami. Damn it! It's unfair! She wanted to stay too!

Rayleigh laughed and said, "Let's not talk about that. It's almost morning. Manager Shiraha, just give me some dishes to go with my drinks. And give me a few bottles of that wine."

"Okay, so what do you want to eat, little girl?"

"Girl?"

Rayleigh gave Hancock a strange look, and Hancock said with a displeased expression, "Rayleigh! Only Mr. Shiraha can call you that! If you dare to call me that, you'll see if I can kick you to death!"

Rayleigh chuckled but said nothing. Hancock turned to her and said with a smile, "As long as it's Mr. Shiraha's cooking, I'll eat anything!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Alright, then you can find a place to sit down."

Hancock nodded repeatedly, obediently found a seat, and then remained silent. Rayleigh glanced at her but before he could speak, Hancock said, "Rayleigh! Get out of here!"

Rayleigh's lips twitched slightly as he said, "I wasn't planning on sitting at your table anyway... but Hancock, you really are..."

"Huh?! What's the problem?!"

"No, no..."

Chapter 497 The Obedient Hancock, Eating Meat Without Garlic Means Half the Flavor (Please Subscribe~)

Rayleigh definitely didn't want to sit at the same table as Hancock. He went straight to Ace's table, and Ace glanced at him but didn't say anything and continued reading his manga.

At that moment, Rayleigh suddenly understood the troubles of an empty-nest old man. He should have just sat at a table by himself. Nami thought for a moment and said, "Rayleigh, do you know where Zoro is?"

Rayleigh shook his head and said, "I don't know. It looks like you flew no closer than I did. Where did you fly to?"

Nami recalled something and said, "It felt like a city in the sky, above the clouds, with a tower..."

After thinking for a moment, Rayleigh nodded and said, "It seems that the bear has found the most suitable place for you. However, the bear doesn't know about this place, so it's still a good choice, at least it's safe."

Nami nodded without saying anything; she also felt it would be better to stay here. Hancock, on the other hand, kept her chin resting on her hands, staring at the kitchen.
