Chapter 27 Baratie 1

"Captain, the Baratie restaurant is near," Bepo shouted.

"Alright, check the radar because we're going to the surface. Takashi and Hisashi prepare the Black Pearl," Cross commanded.

"Yes, captain," answered Takashi and Hisashi

"Why don't we go straight to Paradise?" Sairaorg asked curiously.

"No need to rush, how about your cousin?" Cross asked.

"The situation in the capital is increasingly out of control, maybe there will be a civil war soon," Sairaorg answered.

"When that happens you have to help them," said Misla, who had just arrived.

"Yes, mother," answered Sairaorg

Not long after that Megalodon rose to the surface. From inside the mouth of Megalodon came a ship and a pirate flag. The jolly roger of the ship is a skull with bat wings on both sides, above the head, there is a crown and two crossed trident. If someone saw it, they would think that this was a ghost ship because it was too scary.

(The rooms in the Black Pearl are almost the same as Thousand Sunny)

"Black Pearl is ready captain" Takashi shouted.

"Alright let's move to the Black Pearl," Cross said.

"Why don't we continue using Megalodon?" asked Law curiously.

"It's not yet time for the World Government to know about the existence of Megalodon," Cross said calmly.

"When they found out the existence of Megalodon I thought CP would move to hunt us hahaha" Sairaorg laughed loudly.

"You're too calm, Sairaorg," Shizuka said angrily.

"Their CP members are like me, victims of the World Government but they are used as hunting dogs," Saeko said sadly.

"We will save them if we can," Cross said, patting Saeko's head. And Saeko only smiled because her head was patted by Cross.

Then they all went up to Black Pearl and Cross kept Megalodon in inventory. And they do their respective activities. But the three people who were in the Black Pearl were very upset.

"Look at that, they just keep flirting and don't think of us at all," said Sachi in a slightly angry tone.

"When we get to Woman Island we will look for a girlfriend. Rei and Shizuka will not be able to taunt us anymore," Penguin said confidently that he would get a girlfriend on the Women Island.

"The three of us will definitely get a girlfriend. That's for sure" Bepo said excitedly.

'What do you mean the three of us? There is definitely no female bear, 'thought Sachi and Penguin together.

Takashi saw that Sachi and Penguin's behavior could only shake his heads. He can only pray that they get a girlfriend because they are annoying when Takashi and Rei are together. 'I think when it comes to the Women Island Bepo will sad. It can't be helped, even the captain doesn't know whether there are bears or not, 'Takashi thought.

"Are you thinking about them?" asked Hisashi, who sat next to Takashi.

"Yes, the three of them are sometimes very annoying," answered Takashi.

"They are very annoying," said Rei, who was leaning on Takashi's shoulder.

"You can't say that, Rei! That's rude," said Pascia, who had just approached them.

"Hmph! That's a fact," said Rei, frowning.

"Pascia, you look cute in that maid uniform," Hisashi said praising Pascia.

"Hehehe thank you" Pascia laughed because she was happy to be praised by Hisashi.

Sairaorg who heard their conversation felt astonished. 'Aren't they acting like that because you guys keep flirting with each other. And because of you my mother told me to quickly find a girlfriend 'thought Sairaorg. Law who saw Sairaorg watching Takashi and Hisashi seriously asked "did something happen?"

"Nothing, just want to hit someone," answered Sairaorg then went to his room.

"What's wrong with him? strange," Law said and went to the navigation room to see Furcas and Liban. "Hopefully Liban won't do anything stupid," Law thought.

In the aquarium room, Cross was eating snacks and reading a newspaper. "Looks like all three oceans have started to become unstable," thought Cross. The World Government will definitely have a headache when all of them enter Paradise simultaneously. Thinking that the World Government faced many problems simultaneously made Cross smile.

"Big brother, does the food at Baratie taste good?" Alice asked, seeing Cross smile.

"Yes, they say their food is the best in East Blue. That's why we're going to taste it," Cross answered with a smile.

"From what I hear, their cooking is really good," Misla said, patting Alice's head gently.

"I can't wait to try the food," Alice said with a smile.

"Misla-san where are Saeko and Shizuka?" Cross asked.

"Saeko is practicing in the practice room and Shizuka seems to be making some poison. You really care about your girlfriend. Haaaahh when Sairaorg will have a boyfriend," Misla said, mocking Cross and thinking about Sairaorg. Hearing this Cross could only laugh. Not long after that Bepo came to the aquarium room.

"Captain we have arrived at Baratie!" Bepo shouted report.

"Yaaayyy we arrived" Alice shouted and ran out of the room. Cross and Misla then followed Alice.

On the deck of the ship, everyone had gathered and they found it strange to see a restaurant that was floating. They then saw Cross who had just arrived and waited for orders who would stay to guard the ship. Although this ship cannot be stolen because the room to keep the anchor is equipped with a door that uses a password.

"Who will stay?" asked Law.

"I will guard the ship, my new weapon is still not finished," Kohta said, raising his hand.

"I will also guard the ship, I'm not interested in this restaurant," said Van Auger.

"Then Kohta and Van Auger will guard the ship. The rest will eat at Baratie," Cross said as he got off the ship. The crew also got off the ship.

When entering Baratie Cross saw Luffy and his crew. They look very noisy even if you look at them from far away. Then Sanji came to greet them.

"Welcome to Baratie, do the beautiful lady here want to eat?" Sanji said while looking at Saeko and the others.

"Yes, we want to eat here because we want to prove whether the rumors about Baratie as the number one restaurant in East Blue are true or not," Cross answered with some annoyance because Sanji only paid attention to the women in his group.

"Tsk, I will prepare a table for all of you. But pets cannot be brought in, do you not read it at the door?" Sanji asked when he saw Bepo.

"Did you raise a pet, captain? I never saw it when we were on the ship," Bepo asked, looking for where the animal was.

The whole crew wants to laugh but they hold it back. And Law can only sigh because of his friend's stupidity. Cross shook his head and said, "what he meant was you."

"Eh? Me? You bastard! I'm not a pet," Bepo shouted loudly.

"Why is this bear talking? !!!" Sanji asked loudly because he was surprised to see a bear could talk.

"Sorry," answered Bepo gloomily.

"And why are you so depressed so quickly," said Sanji, confused about Bepo's mood changes.

"He is a mink tribe," Law answered. Then Law explained to Sanji.

"Wow, I really didn't know that animals can talk. Okay, just follow me, I'll guide you to your table," said Sanji while guiding Cross's group.

What followed was the same as in the original story. Gin comes and asks for food. Not long after that Don Krieg's ship was seen heading for Baratie. All visitors leave Baratie for fear that Don Krieg will cause trouble. Luffy, who had just left Baratie, saw the Black Pearl and was surprised that the Going Merry seemed to be very small compared to the Black Pearl. "That ship is so cool! Hey, are you the owner of that ship?" Luffy asked Cross.

"Yes, the ship is mine," Cross answered proudly.

"Do you want to join being my crew?" Luffy asked. Hearing that question, Zoro and Usopp sweat and think 'he's really stupid.'

"I already have a crew and I am their captain" Cross answered and looked at the Don Krieg ship.

"Is he stupid?" Law asked Cross. Because ordinary people will know that the Black Pearl will have several crew members to sail on the ocean.

"Maybe," Cross answered with a smile.

"Are you a pirate?" Luffy asked.

"Yes, I will stand at the top of the world someday," Cross answered confidently.

"But the one who will find One Piece and become the Pirate King is me !! Ah, my name is Monkey D. Luffy. What's your name?" Luffy said with determination.

Law heard Luffy's name in surprise and thought 'so in East Blue there is a person with the name "D." I thought only captain was the one with that name in East Blue. And he wants to be a pirate too. '

"My name is Fate D. Cross and the person who will be the king of the world," Cross said with a smile.
