Chapter 505: SFDI - 505
Although Drake hadn’t agreed to join the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy had still generously invited the two to eat.
Drake had also been looking forward to Sanji’s cooking skills, taking out the stored otherworld ingredients, handing them over to him to cook.
After learning of Drake and Stella’s relationship, although Sanji’s eyes had been burning with jealousy, he had still maintained a quite gentlemanly demeanor.
And as a cook, Sanji’s enthusiasm for exploring unknown ingredients had also been quite high, so he had decided to arrange a quite luxurious banquet.
Sanji had been holding a kitchen knife, looking at that large piece of meat on the cutting board, saying, "So this is the meat of a monster called a Five-Headed Dragon, huh, no wonder the meat quality is this unique, it looks like it needs some special cooking methods."
While saying this, Sanji had been slapping away Luffy’s head, which had been stretching over, preventing his saliva from dripping onto the ingredients.
Zoro had pressed down on his sword hilt, saying, "A Five-Headed Dragon, huh... I wonder what kind of monster it is, I bet it would feel great to cut."
Drake had said, "That’s a quite troublesome guy, it keeps regenerating unless you cut off all five heads at the same time."
The meat block was the meat of the magical beast Five-Headed Dragon that had been slain in the Land of the Sun in the Black Clover world.
Although the Five-Headed Dragon’s magic power had toxicity, its meat could be eaten as long as it had been cleaned properly. Not only could it be eaten, but it also tasted good, so Drake had taken quite a bit.
At this time, Luffy had suddenly said with a longing look, "Then wouldn’t there be an endless supply of meat! Drake, where else are there monsters like that?"
As expected of Luffy, his angle for paying attention to problems was indeed novel.
Drake had shaken his head, saying, "I estimate that the one that I saw was the only one!"
Luffy had felt quite regretful for missing the opportunity to endlessly farm meat, but he had still been looking forward to what dragon meat tasted like.
And on the other side, Nami had already learned about the importance of the Log Pose on the Grand Line from Crocus.
Just as Nami had been having a headache, Luffy had instead taken one out. Nami had blasted Luffy away with one punch, and had only then remembered to ask him where he had gotten the Log Pose from.
You could only say that the daily lives of the Straw Hat Pirates were really joyful to the point that it was unbelievable.
And according to Luffy’s statement, he had picked it up after the two weirdos on the ship had disappeared.
Drake had only then remembered a certain character who had appeared at this time in the original plot.
On the seven-day route in the first half of the Grand Line, the starting island of one of them was Whiskey Peak.
On the surface, it was an island that had been mainly based on the tourism industry and the liquor industry, but in reality, a large number of bounty hunters who had wanted to hunt the new pirates who had just entered the Grand Line had gathered there.
And actually, the controller of the island was Baroque Works, which had been made up of bounty hunters and assassins.
In order to replenish the food for the large number of people on the island, they had sent out numbered members to hunt the island whale Laboon to obtain meat.
And those two had even infiltrated Laboon’s body, planning to kill Laboon from the inside, but they had been knocked unconscious by Luffy directly.
And when Luffy and them had been leaving Laboon’s body, Drake had indeed sensed two auras leaving. But they had returned after leaving for a distance, and they were still hiding around right now.
Just at this time, Laboon, who had been underwater, had suddenly cried out, and his huge tail had swung up from underwater.
Along with the seawater that Laboon had stirred up, two people had directly flown onto the shore.
It was a man and a woman, and the man had been wearing a flamboyant crown, and had also had tattoos that had been similar to 5 on his cheeks. And the girl had long, aquamarine hair that had been tied into a ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead.
Drake’s gaze had also looked towards the girl, who had been putting on a crafty appearance.
It was said that women were natural actors, and Drake had really believed it this time.
If he hadn’t known her identity, Drake might have even thought that she was a villainous small character.
But she was still young in the end, and she had still instinctively displayed the elegance and poise of her true identity when facing Sanji offering her a hand.
Luffy had generously agreed to their request to hitch a ride on the ship, and had also invited them to join the banquet.
But after the banquet, Drake and them would have to say goodbye to Luffy and the others.
Luffy and them had decided to choose the route that had Whiskey Peak as its starting point, and Drake and them had wanted to go look at Skypiea first.
After hearing Drake say that he wanted to go to Skypiea, all of the Straw Hat Pirates had revealed curious expressions, and Luffy had even stuck close directly.
"Skypiea? Is there really such a magical place?" Nami, who had been the navigator, couldn’t help but ask.
Drake had replied, "Of course, this sea is very magical after all! That’s why adventuring on the sea is so interesting, right?"
Stella had had the same reaction as them when she had heard that there was a Skypiea in this world, and what girl could refuse to go on an adventure in a world above the clouds. So Drake had decided on the Skypiea itinerary.
Actually, there had also been Skypiea in the New World, but Drake didn’t know the location, so he could only go to that Skypiea above Mock Town in Paradise.
So the next step was to get an Eternal Pose that went to Mock Town. Mock Town was a famous lawless area in Paradise, so he estimated that it wouldn’t be hard to find an Eternal Pose that went there.
After listening to Drake’s words, Luffy had placed his hand on the straw hat on his head, saying with emotion, "That’s right, adventuring on the sea is the best!"
Drake had waved his hand, saying, "Then let’s separate here! The sea is this vast, and we’ll meet again later on!"
Saying this, Drake had taken out a shikigami, throwing it out, and Phoenix had spread out his wings in mid-air.
Drake and Stella had jumped onto Phoenix’s back, saying goodbye, "Then we’ll be taking our leave first!"
Saying this, Phoenix had flown into the high sky directly, and he had had to move a bit faster, or Luffy would have jumped up along with them if Zoro and Sanji hadn’t been holding him back tightly.
According to the instructions of the Log Pose that he had gotten from Crocus, Drake and the others had come to a quite lively island.
Phoenix had landed on the ground, and before Drake could even get down to the ground, he had heard someone speak.
"The information wasn’t wrong, there really is a man and a woman who have been flying in the sky while riding a large bird, huh?"
Drake had turned his head, looking at that man who had been emitting malice towards him.
It was a man who had looked like a rock singer, with dark skin, curly black hair, and he had also been wearing sunglasses on his face.
He had been wearing a long coat, and a 5 had been printed on his left chest.
A woman who had been holding a yellow and blue striped parasol had also been following by his side, and this kind of combination had made Drake think of their identities.
Senior member of Baroque Works, Mr. 5, the Bomb-Bomb Fruit ability user Gem, and his partner, Miss Valentine.
What the sea had the most of were people who had been blinded by greed, and even while flying in the sky, Drake could occasionally feel the malice that had been transmitted from the pirate ships that he had passed.
So Drake had already learned to ignore the malice that had been emitted by those unimportant people, but this time was clearly different, and the other party hadn’t just been thinking about it.
"Hey, your pet, our Baroque Works has taken a liking to it, honestly hand it over!"
Not having any intention of negotiating at all, Mr. 5 had stretched out his finger, digging around in his nose, and had then flicked the thing that had been sticking to his fingertip towards Drake.
Drake wouldn’t let Stella touch this kind of dirty thing, reaching out his hand, blocking her behind him, and had thrown out a gold coin with his other hand.
Boom!
The thing that Mr. 5 had flicked over had exploded directly after colliding with the gold coin. Transforming the things that he had contacted into bombs that could explode, this was the ability of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit that he had eaten.
It had been a very strong ability to begin with, but it had been used with this kind of disgusting method!
Drake had been disgusted in any case, and this debt had to be recorded on the head of the entire Baroque Works. Which was to say that Crocodile, he was in big trouble!
