Chapter 189: The Unfortunate Guy

"I've found you."

In a restaurant in Loguetown, Ryujiro looked at the restaurant's head chef with a smile on his lips.

With her striking red hair and an alluring figure, her appearance naturally drew attention. A green crystal necklace hung around her neck.

Chef Carmen.

Ryujiro had thought it might be a bit difficult to find her, but he was pleasantly surprised by his good luck.

Although Carmen's cooking skills weren't as good as Sanji's, the fact that so many people recognized her was enough to prove her talent.

Moreover, Ryujiro glanced at the empty plates on the table and smiled slightly.

Carmen's cooking suited his taste.

At that moment, the restaurant door was violently pushed open.

The ferocious gaze from the Sawtooth Pirates made everyone in the restaurant freeze up.

"That person is!"

"Sawtooth, the pirate with a bounty of 20 million Berries!"

"Hiss!"

"Why is he here? Could it be that the Sawtooth Pirates plan to enter the Grand Line too?!"

The once lively and noisy restaurant fell into a deathly silence.

"This is a restaurant, right?"

"Then waiter! Bring us the best food in your restaurant, we're hungry!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll have the head chef prepare it right away."

The waiter forced a smile that was more painful than crying, his legs trembling as he stood beside Sawtooth.

"Bang—"

At that moment, a gunshot rang out. The waiter's eyes widened as a blood hole appeared in his chest.

Sawtooth blew the smoke from his gun and said in a deep voice, "What's this?"

"Why do you worthless idiots force me to take action? Can't you see we don't have enough space here?!"

"Bang—"

Another shot hit the waiter's chest, and the restaurant was instantly thrown into chaos.

The customers, who had been gathered in the restaurant, fled in panic.

The waiter was ignored; after taking two shots, he was certainly not going to survive.

A mere waiter meant nothing to them; their own lives were what mattered.

"Hehahaha! As expected of the captain, this restaurant is now ours."

"Hey, head chef, hurry up and serve the food!"

Carmen looked at the Sawtooth Pirates with a dark expression. She took a deep breath and said seriously.

"I refuse!"

"You scum are not worthy of my food!"

Sawtooth and his subordinates exchanged glances before breaking into harsh laughter.

"Hehahaha! Captain, this beautiful head chef just called us scum!"

"Hey! Do you want to die?!"

One of the pirates drew his gun and coldly pointed it at Carmen's head. At the moment the cold gun barrel touched her, Carmen's beautiful eyes narrowed in fear.

Her whole body tensed. This was her first close encounter with death.

"Bastard, put the gun down!"

Sawtooth slapped the pirate on the head and looked at Carmen with a playful smile, saying, "It's been a long time since I met such an interesting woman."

"How about it? Come work as my chef on my ship, and I'll spare your life."

Sawtooth's subordinates were stunned to hear their captain's words.

The captain actually wanted to recruit this head chef.

Tsk tsk.

No wonder.

This head chef was indeed a beauty; the captain must have taken a liking to her.

To the captain, women were merely playthings. Once the captain grew tired of her, she would belong to them.

Carmen's eyes darkened as she coldly replied, "You wish! You sea pests!"

Sawtooth's expression darkened in an instant. His already limited patience was wearing thin.

"Is that so."

"Then die."

Sawtooth drew the gun from his waist, aiming it at Carmen, ready to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, a green beam of light pierced through Sawtooth's head. No one had time to react to what was happening.

Sawtooth's body slumped and fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with confusion as his consciousness grew fainter.

"Bang—"

Sawtooth's subordinates stared blankly at their fallen captain in a pool of blood.

Even Carmen was bewildered by what had just happened.

"Captain!"

"This must be a joke! How could this happen!"

"Hey! Boss, don't play with us!"

"What did you do to the captain, you woman?!"

At this moment, a sound of a chair being moved came from a corner of the restaurant, and everyone looked over.

Ryujiro and Hinata's faces changed.

There was still someone left in the restaurant who hadn't escaped?

"How unlucky."

"She's the chef I've taken a liking to. I can't just let you act recklessly."

Ryujiro looked at Sawtooth's corpse with some regret.

"What the hell do you mean!"

"Did you kill the captain?!"

"Of course."

Ryujiro nodded with a smile.

"You bastard."

"I will avenge the captain!"

"Bang bang bang—!"

A pirate fired several shots at Ryujiro, but as the bullets flew out, they suddenly stopped mid-air and rapidly shot back into the pirate's own body.

Outside the restaurant, Smoker's face darkened instantly when he heard the gunshots. 

These damned pirates actually dared to act so openly in Loguetown. It had been a long time since he encountered such brazen pirates in his town.

What's going on?!

Smoker's expression changed again as continuous screams echoed from inside the restaurant.

There shouldn't be anyone left in the restaurant!

Without a word, Smoker charged into the restaurant alone. Even with a bounty of 23 million Berries, these pirates were insignificant to him.

With his Logia-type Devil Fruit power, he was invincible to these East Blue pirates.

"Boom—" With a loud crash, Smoker smashed through the restaurant's door.

But when he saw the scene before him, his face instantly changed.

The Sawtooth Pirates lay in a pool of blood, their fates uncertain. Seeing Sawtooth's corpse, Smoker's eyes widened in shock.

"Smoker, huh."

"You're too late."

Seeing Ryujiro, Smoker's pupils narrowed to pinpricks.

"It's you!"

Now he understood why these pirates were lying on the ground. A group of blind fools dared to provoke this monster.

This young figure was on par with a Navy Admiral.

"So, these fools provoked you. A group of disgusting pirates, if they die, they die."

"However, I'm curious as to why someone like you is in the East Blue."

Smoker's gaze was serious as he looked at Ryujiro.

"Do you believe me if I say I'm here for a vacation?"
