Chapter 243 My name is Shanks, let’s make friends
"Profic, what's wrong?" Morana asked, tilting his head slightly. She noticed that Profik seemed a little "absent-minded."
"It seems that your plan has backfired." Profik pretended to pay attention to the game. In fact, he had noticed Katakuri's gaze before, "The members of the Big Mom Pirates have arrived on the island."
Morana turned his head subconsciously, but was stopped by Profik using telepathy, "Don't look!"
"Where?" As expected, Morana stopped looking for the Big Mom Pirates and turned back to watch the game.
"The VIP room on the third floor of the viewing area opposite, the third one from the left, there are at least five people in the room... They are all top players. We are no match. The Yonko's men are really tough."
Profik could feel that in that room, there was a very powerful aura, and there was another aura that was less powerful, but equally powerful enough to pose a threat to the entire "Breaking Dawn". The owner of these two auras must be at least a star general.
In addition, there are three breaths. Although not that strong, they are by no means weak. It may be difficult for Danjuma and Li Tong to deal with them. They are by no means ordinary minions, at least they are at the level of small cadres.
Who is coming? Is it Katakuri or Perospero? It probably couldn't be Charlotte Lingling herself. After all, it was unlikely that the Four Emperors would leave the territory in person. It is even more impossible to come to this island without being discovered by others.
"I heard that 'Thirty-six Strategies are the Best Strategies'. Otherwise, let's find an opportunity..."
"The opponent was observing us just now, but I didn't feel any hostility. They weren't coming towards us. Just keep watching the game." Profic was not nervous. There were indeed several domineering auras covering his body just now. But he could feel that the other party was not here for "Breaking Dawn", and his attention to them was neither hostile nor lasted for too long.
In this case, instead of making a fuss and letting the other person know that you have discovered the other person's attention, you might as well do what you should do, pretend not to know, and just stay normal. If you leave rashly at this time, it is equivalent to telling the other party "your observation has been discovered by us", which can easily cause further conflicts between the two parties.
Katakuri's appearance only briefly attracted Profik's attention for a moment, and he quickly turned his attention back to the arena.
At this time, the judges' scoring of the contestants' dishes has ended, and the third round of competition has also ended.
[Then, the organizer of this event will now announce the list of people entering the next round, as well as the rankings of this round! 】
As soon as the host finished speaking, a huge sign was erected in the field, and the staff hung up the scores of each contestant in order from low to high. The top eighty-five players will advance to the fourth round, while the remaining one hundred players will be eliminated.
It feels a bit like watching a variety show in my previous life.
Most of the contestants who had qualified for promotion were overjoyed, while some looked as normal and wasted no time in making intense preparations.
And those who were eliminated could only walk out of the arena with different expressions. However, most of them are not too disappointed. After all, they can get the title of "Level 3 Chef" no matter what if they enter the third round.
Not surprisingly, Smoothie, John Simmons, Avro, and Yin Ya all successfully passed the third round and entered the fourth round. The third round of competition was not too difficult for them. Whether it was Smoothie's "Magic Juice", Simmons' "Egg Roll", or Avro's "Pan-fried Doffee", they were all rare. Delicious enough to get them through the third round.
The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Yin Ya. According to Profic's observation, this person is probably also a Devil Fruit user, and his ability should be to be able to perfectly mix different ingredients.
Although his dish this round is called "Fire Flame Mandarin Fish", the ingredient does not require "Fire Flame" or "Mandarin Fish". Instead, it is a pasta dish. By mixing different ingredients, he makes the noodles as tender, juicy and smooth as mandarin fish. Then, spicy ingredients are added to simulate the unique taste of the famous dish "Spicy Braised Mandarin Fish".
The judges unanimously believed that the "flaming mandarin fish" made by Yin Ya was even better in taste than the authentic "spicy roasted mandarin fish".
In addition, Profik actually found an acquaintance among these contestants.
This man wears a tall chef's hat, has blond hair, and his beard is braided to both sides. It is surprisingly the captain of the "Chef Pirates", "Redfoot" Tetsuo. Counting the time, Zhefu is indeed traveling on the great route.
At this time, Tetsuo hadn't broken his leg yet, and he wasn't too old yet. It was the time when his pirate career was booming, and he was full of high spirits, and his temperament became more ferocious. It’s no wonder that Profik didn’t recognize this person until the host announced his name.
As a chef who dreams of "ALL BLUE", it is only natural to participate in the "Gourmet Island" food competition.
With his cooking skills, he passed the first few rounds of the competition with ease. In the third round of the competition, what he made was a seemingly ordinary "miso soup", but its unique umami flavor and excellent texture conquered all the judges, allowing him to get a very high score. Fraction.
[The fourth round of competition is about to begin. Let us cheer for our players with the warmest applause! 】
As the host finished speaking, the judges on the scene began to announce the rules of the fourth round of competition.
"Excuse me," a magnetic voice came from behind Profik, "can I sit here?"
It is not easy to find an empty seat in this crowded viewing area. There are just a few empty seats next to Profik and others. This is of course not a simple coincidence, but he doesn't like crowded environments and deliberately uses the ability of the mind fruit to make people around him leave, leaving a small area that is less crowded.
"I'm sorry, I..." Profic was about to refuse, but when he turned around to see the person coming, he was obviously stunned and immediately changed his words, "Of course, please sit down wherever you want."
This is a young man with a bold smile, wearing a simple white shirt, a long sword at his waist, a trademark straw hat on his head, and several ferocious scars at the corners of his eyes.
"My name is Shanks, let's make friends!"
The man smiled heartily while sitting next to Profik in a familiar manner.
