Rayleigh turned to Hancock and said, "Hey! Hancock, don't forget Sonia and Mary."

Hancock said in a deep voice, "Of course I will not forget!"

As they were talking, Bai Yu pushed the food cart over. On the cart were the mixed vegetable set meal that Xiao Lin often ate when she came, a plate of grilled meat, a large plate of sashimi and a plate of sushi on the other side.

Rayleigh's eyes lit up upon seeing it, and he exclaimed, "Oh! Finally, I get to see Manager Shiraha's cooking again! I'm really looking forward to it! Which one is mine?"

Bai Yu placed the mixed vegetables and roasted meat on Rayleigh's table and said with a smile, "Mixed beef tendon, kimchi, cold sweet potato leaf salad, and roasted meat. I've prepared two kinds of sauces for you; this one is garlic and perilla leaves, to wrap the roasted meat in. And here's your wine!"

Rayleigh chuckled and said, "This dish really does look appetizing, but this garlic..."

Bai Yu said gently, "It might be more troublesome for women, but for men, there's a saying I don't know if you've heard before."

"what?"

"Eating meat without garlic diminishes the flavor by half. You can try it; there's chewing gum on the edge of the perilla leaf."

Rayleigh nodded, somewhat helplessly, and said, "As expected of you, Manager Shiraha, you've really thought of everything. However, it feels strange to eat grilled meat and raw garlic wrapped in leaves, but I'll give it a try!"

As Bai Yu spoke, he walked over to Hancock's side. When he saw Hancock, he was stunned for a moment. Hancock was just resting her face on her hand and waiting for him without saying a word.

Bai Yu asked in confusion, "What are you trying to say, girl?"

Hancock shook her head without saying anything. Bai Yu sighed and took Hancock's dish, saying, "I've prepared the sauce for you to dip the sashimi in. Just dip it in the sauce and eat it."

"Ok!"

Rayleigh said with a smile, "Manager Shiraha, you really did prepare a very bland meal for Hancock."

Just as Hancock was about to say something, she heard Bai Yu casually say, "Judging from your appearance, you must have arrived after nightfall, so it's dark where you are and it's dark here too. Hancock just ate here a few hours ago, so it's good to change things up. Besides, it's good for women's figure to eat lighter meals at night."

Hancock's eyes lit up as she said, "As expected of Mr. Shiraha! So considerate! Rayleigh! So you're still single!"

Rayleigh's lips twitched. "Can't you see I'm giving you an assist? Instead of attacking, you turn around and use your ultimate to kill your teammate. What's the meaning of that?"

Bai Yu didn't say anything. Then Rayleigh ate while occasionally making some comments. After trying a piece of roasted meat according to Bai Yu's method, Rayleigh was stunned and said in disbelief, "It really has a unique flavor. This thing called Su Ziye is also very powerful!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Eating garlic when eating meat can not only remove the fishy smell and other odors, but also enhance the aroma. More importantly, it can also improve nutrition and allow for greater vitamin absorption. This is because garlic contains something called allicin... You probably wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. Just know that eating it together improves nutrition and tastes good."

Rayleigh nodded, looking like he'd learned something, and so did Yakumo Yukari and the others. Hancock was about to pick up her chopsticks when she suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Mr. Shiraha! Sonia and Mary couldn't come because they're too tall and big. I said I'd bring them some food back..."

Bai Yu stood up and asked, "What do they want to eat? What are their preferences? How tall are they approximately?"

"Sonia doesn't seem to have any particular favorite foods, and neither does Mary, but she eats a lot of sumo hot pot. They're not picky about food, and they're both probably four or five meters tall..."

Lucifer and the others were speechless. "Are you really sisters? Are you really the eldest sister?" Bai Yu nodded and said, "I know..."

He walked into the kitchen as he spoke, and Hancock covered her face, saying, "You figured out what to do right away? As expected of Mr. Shiraha! Your reaction time is amazing!"

Everyone had subconsciously ignored Hancock's strange remarks. Just as Hancock was still lost in thought, they saw Bai Yu push a food cart out. Lucifer exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?! You're so fast! What kind of food is it?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Girl, come with me."

"it is good!"

As he spoke, amidst the puzzled expressions of Lucifer and the others, he led Hancock to the door. The next moment, the door lit up, and Bai Yu led Hancock inside.

Just as everyone was about to say something, they saw the door dim. A short while later, just as everyone came to their senses, they saw Hancock dragging Bai Yu's arm and walking back with a disgruntled expression.

Hancock said resentfully, "Mr. Shiraha! Why were you in such a hurry to come back?! Wouldn't it have been better to spend more time with me?!"

Bai Yu sighed and, under Rayleigh's incredulous gaze, pinched Hancock's cheek and said helplessly, "You really can say anything, and you even know this trick? You're the Empress."

"I understand..."

Bai Yu let go of her hand, sighed, and said, "When the time is synchronized or nearly synchronized, you can even stay here for a whole day. But you must remember that you are an empress. Alright, go eat something. Raw fish doesn't taste as good if it's left out for too long."

"Oh."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he turned around and saw that everyone, including Ace and Rayleigh, was looking at him with strange expressions. Bai Yu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lucifer's lips twitched slightly as he said, "I should say... as expected of you... Bai Yu..."

Bai Yu tilted his head, looking at Lucifer with a puzzled expression, while Hancock sat there obediently, head down, eating her food, though her expression... was rather subtle...

Chapter 498 A weary Bai Yu, and Hancock thrown back by Pander (Please subscribe~)

Hancock's expression at this moment was probably one of wanting to laugh but trying hard to hold it in, with a blank stare in her eyes, which was just ridiculous.

Everyone glanced at it and then said nothing. Ace remarked with some emotion, "As expected of the shopkeeper... he can even get the Empress to listen to him so well..."

Bai Yu sighed and said, "I always feel like you guys can always find some strange points to focus on. Speaking of which, Rayleigh, are you planning to train with that guy named Luffy?"

Rayleigh nodded and said, "His strength is too weak. In the New World, all those who rely on passion are just living a retirement life in Impel Down."

Ace sighed and said, "Impact... I never want to go back there again in my life..."

Lucifer sighed and said, "Just how outrageous is that prison called Impel Down? Even my Hell isn't that outrageous."

Hearing this, Nami asked in confusion, "Eh? Miss Lucifer, is the treatment in Hell really that good?"

Aoandon thought for a moment and said, "In our area, there are black and white ghost messengers who collect souls, judges who pronounce judgments, passing through the Gate of Hell, going through the Yellow Springs, walking through the River of Oblivion, crossing the River of Helplessness, and drinking Meng Po's soup. In short, it's quite troublesome, but for evil people, our hell is still terrifying."

Nami nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "That does sound pretty scary. Luckily, they haven't done anything bad... The money they stole was from those bad pirates, and it was all to save the village. They probably aren't evil people."

Aoandon thought for a moment and said, "You don't count. At most, you'll walk in the middle of the Bridge of Helplessness. But if you do a lot of good deeds, you might be able to go to the top. And personally, I don't think you're a bad person."

Nami breathed a sigh of relief, and Pandemonica said softly, "We don't have that many problems. As for why it's not that outrageous, there are three reasons..."

"How so?" x7

"First, those who come here might be killed on the spot. Second, they might be eaten by Cerberus. And then... those who come to our side will either be tortured, die, or become slaves—those skeletons. In short, they'll never be able to leave..."

Everyone swallowed hard. Good heavens, it was decisive, but terrifying! Wasn't that a bit too much? Couldn't they at least give them a chance to repent?

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "Eh? Is it that complicated? But there have indeed been quite a few slaves over the years; they should all be handed over to the judge..."

Pandemonica said with a helpless expression, "Boss... if we hand it over to His Majesty the Judge... those chains could even kill a god..."

Everyone swallowed hard. They wanted the chains that had killed the god too... It was terrifying!

Rayleigh said helplessly, "Do you really have to talk about hell in front of an old man? Isn't that a bit cruel..."

Despite saying that, Rayleigh wasn't afraid at all and just ate his food in peace. As mentioned before, it was almost daytime, and when Hancock finished eating, she was still there with her head down, but no one paid any attention to her.

Finally, when Rayleigh finished his fifth bottle of wine, he also finished his meal. He ate it all up, leaving nothing behind. However, Rayleigh ate much more elegantly than Ace.

Rayleigh glanced at Ace and said, "You kid, you probably don't have a single Beri left after escaping from Impel Down."

Ace's lips twitched. Rayleigh shook his head, took out a bag of money, put it on the table, and said, "Manager Baiyu, put this kid's money here too. If you haven't raised the price, this should be enough."

"In fact, you and Xia Qi gave too much when you came last time."

"Huh?! But I feel like this kind of food is worth the price, and it also saved the kid, so the money is more or less."

Bai Yu didn't refuse and continued reading. Hancock glared fiercely at Rayleigh, who was completely confused. She glared at him again?! What's wrong with him?!

Rayleigh glanced at Ace and said, "Hey! Ace! Let's go, it's time to go back. Luffy should be happy to see you."

"Ok!"

Ace put down his book, stretched, and said, "This is really an unexpected ending. What happened to that hero, Shopkeeper?"

"After he was crippled, he killed the Demon King."

"Eh? As expected of a hero!"

Lucifer and Nami both twitched their lips; it seemed they might indeed remain single forever...

"Mr. Bai Yu! I will return again!"

"Yes, welcome back next time."

"I'm leaving!"

"I know, you've blocked the door so Rayleigh and Ace are too scared to go over..."

"Then I really... Eh?! Not again?! Pandemonica!!! I'll remember you!!!"

Rayleigh and Ace both looked at Pandemonica with gratitude. Ace breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Manager! Thank you again! I won't tell anyone about this place easily!"

Bai Yu didn't say anything. Only after Rayleigh led Ace through the door did Bai Yu sigh and say, "It turns out that all the guests who came tonight are connected..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, they suddenly realized that it really was a circle. It was really outrageous. Bai Yu said helplessly, "Miss Kazami, you seem to be having a lot of fun today."

Kazami Yuuka was taken aback. She was indeed very happy to see it, but she didn't show it. Yakumo Yukari, on the other hand, had been thinking about something ever since the world connection was established. Seeing the sky turning slightly blue, Yakumo Yukari smiled and said, "Hey, Yuuka, we should go back too."

Kazami Yuuka glanced at Yakumo Yukari, then nodded. After paying for the meal, Yakumo Yukari stood at the door and said with a smile, "Manager, we'll head back now. See you tomorrow night!"

Before Bai Yu could react, Yakumo Yukari disappeared from the shop after speaking. Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief; the night was finally over. He was starting to feel tired if it hadn't ended soon.

Lucifer said with amusement, "What's wrong? You feel tired too?"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "It's exhausting... After all, who could have imagined that a restaurant could cause such a massive earthquake in the world..."

Nami thought for a moment and said, "So, Manager Shiraha, you're actually feeling exhausted because the world's course was unintentionally altered by the store's interference?"

"No... I'm just tired of thinking that the shop might come up with some other weird ways to lure people in the future. After all, I'm just a restaurant manager. All I need to do is cook. As for what happens in other worlds... I can help one person, but I can't help the whole world. After all, I'm not a hero."

Lucifer's lips twitched slightly as he said, "You really have a surprisingly twisted sense of humor... I suspect you might have authorized this shop..."

"So... Lucifer, you don't believe me again?"

"I...I...I just don't believe it!"

Pandemonica, Nami, and Aoandon all looked at Lucifer, whose face had suddenly turned red, with puzzled expressions. If you don't believe me, then don't believe me. Why are you blushing?

Chapter 499 I'm Not Washing My Face Anymore! Mordis Sets Off (Please Subscribe~)

On Amazon Lily, there's a touching scene of Luffy and Ace reuniting, and on the other hand, there's a beautiful girl gritting her teeth and complaining.

"Sister...Big Sister...Mr. Bai Yu..."

Upon hearing Sonia's voice, Hancock immediately shouted, "That Pandemonica! She's infuriating! Ah!!! And Rayleigh too!"

Rayleigh, who was watching the show, was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Hancock, what does that have to do with me?"

Hancock yelled, "Why are you eating so fast?! Don't you know how difficult it is for me to go to Mr. Shiraha's shop?! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"

Rayleigh's lips twitched. He could shift the blame for this?! Seriously?!

“However, if the world is connected… Mr. Baiyu can come to see me anytime?! A month here is a day there… In that case… when Mr. Baiyu comes to see me, I can leave him here for a month?! Okay!”

Rayleigh didn't want to say anything more. He felt it was necessary for Shakky to explain to Hancock what love was, since Hancock was completely clueless when it came to relationships.

Sonia and Mary fell silent; any further conversation would only lead to endless chatter. Rayleigh sighed and said, "Then I'll send Ace back first. Luffy, you come along too. It's time for you to see the strength you need to continue on this path."

Luffy nodded repeatedly, while Hancock completely ignored the three men and suddenly exclaimed, "I'm not washing my face!"

Rayleigh and Ace both twitched their lips, then immediately pulled a bewildered Luffy away. Sonia and Marie covered their faces, their older sister acting strangely...

Just now, Sonia asked in confusion, "Big sister, why are you covering your face like that?"

After saying this, Hancock stood up and looked at Sonia, saying, "Sonia, can you understand?"

"Huh? Experience what?"

"Being pinched on the cheek and called 'little girl' by Mr. Bai Yu..."

"Um...so, big sister, you..."

"So...I'm not washing my face anymore!"

That's roughly how things are. After hearing this, Sonia and Mary both covered their faces and sighed. In other words, they could go over in the evening, and Bai Yu might come over, so it was still manageable.

Meanwhile, while Zoro was still waiting, Hawkeye was also about to arrive at his island. He had returned after Ace disappeared, since Ace could disappear without a trace in Impel Down, so it was obvious that he was impossible to find.

He still really wanted to test the strength of the world's strongest man, but it was clear that there was no chance. Hawkeye felt quite sorry about this.

The Shiraha shop finally quieted down, but Nanami Nami came by just before closing time to buy breakfast, apparently because her water was cut off at home.

When she arrived, she remarked, "Oh? So that's why it was closed for a while. It was under renovation. As expected of Manager Bai Yu, the renovation style is really beautiful."

Bai Yu didn't say anything. Nanami Minami had also brought breakfast for her family, so she didn't eat here. She took the food and went back, only saying that she would come here for a meal with Hinami Aoi and the others in a while.

Nami was quite nervous because she had never lived in this world before, and suddenly having to stay here for a while... just thinking about it made her nervous, as she was completely unfamiliar with the place.

However, Nami suddenly noticed something halfway through. Her eyes lit up when she looked at the travel recommendations on the computer. She saw architectural styles she had never seen before and beautiful scenery.

Nami is a pirate with a dream: to travel the world and draw her own world map. This is also a major reason why she sails with Luffy and his crew.
