Chapter 5: Refusing Blackbeard! 

'What? There are such good things! '

Rifan showed surprise.

He was already ready to become a landlubber, but now it seems that he still thinks too conservatively.

His talent is better than imagined!

"What's the matter, brother, are you afraid that I will poison you, ZEHAHAHAHA~!"

Seeing Rifan staring at cherry pie motionless, Blackbeard asked with a laugh.

"No, it's just a little accident."

"I didn't expect to meet such a nice man as you here, hahaha."

Rifan shook his head and laughed imitating Teach's laughter.

Since he was going to spend thirty minutes with Blackbeard, he naturally wanted to follow Blackbeard's words to communicate.

After speaking, Rifan picked up a piece of pie and put it in his mouth.

"How about it, it tastes good right?" asked Blackbeard.

"How should I put it, it's okay."

Rifan shrugged.

His words were true, and he'd thought there would be something unique about the pie that Luffy would find unpalatable.

But now it seems that it is similar to the pie he ate at the pie shop before crossing.

Of course, if that's all it is, Rifan might still think the pie is good.

But unfortunately, before time travel, he was a man who had cultivated his cooking skills to the ultimate level.

Whether it's Filipino food, Western food, even Japanese food he can do it top-notch.

In this way, the pretty good cherry pie naturally became ordinary in his mouth.

"Why, I think it's pretty good."

Blackbeard picked up a slice of pie and popped it into his mouth, showing an intoxicated look on his face again.

"I think it's because you haven't eaten a better cherry pie than this."

"To be honest, I'm a chef."

"Not to mention anything else, at least I have done a thorough research when it comes to foods."

Rifan patted his chest and said boldly.

"Really, a chef huh?"

Blackbeard was interested and immediately asked Rifan to confirm.

"Hehe, let me prove it to you instead of saying it."

Rifan smiled, stood up from his seat, and turned over into the bar.

"Guest, it's not convenient for others to come in here."

The bar owner said quickly.

"Boss, I will give you all the gold coins in this bag. I hope you can let me use the kitchen at the back."

"I'm here to prove my cooking skills to this friend who gave me a piece of his pie."

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

As Rifan said that, he walked into the kitchen behind the bar.

Because the distance between the kitchen and Teach is not far, Rifan is not worried that he will go out of the scope of the task.

The owner of the bar saw Rifan's appearance, and then looked at the bag he put on the bar, but he still didn't stop him.

Blackbeard himself looked at Rifan with more interest.

[What is Rifan intending to do, and why does he want to make pie for that Teach? ]

[You don't even understand this? Obviously, Rifan is going to show Teach his culinary skills and become the chef on his boat. ]

[Yes! In the introduction about Teach, this guy is a man who intends to set up a pirate group, and there is no crew yet. If Rifan can successfully join, he will be considered the veteran of the Pirates group. ]

[I see, it seems that Rifan will be able to complete the task of joining the pirates soon. It's a pity that the first mission to join the Pirates has been taken away by Ethan. ]

[It's not Rifan's fault. It can only be said that Ethan's speed is too fast. Among so many challengers, he is the fastest. So far, not many people have successfully joined Pirates group. ]

[Speaking of which, does Rifan really know how to cook? He couldn't just talk about it casually, right? ]

[No, I'm a pastry chef, the kind that specializes in pie. Rifan's technique looks like a veteran, I believe he can make delicious pie! ]

[Chollima Passerby Q: Hehe, so what if he joins, he will still be killed by the Whitebeard pirate group where my country reincarnator is. is Hahaha~ ]

[Chollima upstairs, I have to remind you that your reincarnation Choi has not yet obtained Whitebeard's permission to join the Pirates. ]

[Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered! Do you know, I just saw that the reincarnator Choi, from Chollima, was rejected by Whitebeard on the grounds that he was too weak! Hahaha~ Seeing his expression when he was rejected still makes me laugh hard. Until now, that man, Choi, is still trying to find a way to join. But I think he probably won't have this chance. ]

[It's really funny! Although Choi insisted on joining, Whitebeard asked him to defeat anyone in the Whitebeard Pirates first. But the problem is that any one of the Whitebeard pirates can easily knock Choi to the ground with a punch. Until now, Choi is still fainted, Hahaha~ ]

[So, choosing a pirate group that is too strong is not without its disadvantages. So far, Tatiana, the reincarnator of the Brown Bear who chose the big mom pirates, and Akua, the reincarnator of the Elephant who chose the Beasts Pirates, have not been able to join successfully. ]

[Miss Tatiana, the reincarnator of Brown Bear is not bad, I hope she can succeed. As for the two from Elephants and Chollima, it really is better not to join successfully. ]

[Chollima: You Bastards, our Choi will definitely succeed!]

[Zebra Passerby T: Don't be too arrogant, Giant Panda! Your reincarnator Rifan does not have resurrection coin, and when he encounter a dangerous situation, you will cry. ]

[Hehehe, judging from the current situation, our Rifan will not be so vulnerable to danger. Unlike your Reincarnator. ]

…

"Okay, Rifan's Special cherry pie."

"Try it, speaking of it, I still don't know your name."

After more than 20 minutes, Rifan put a stack of cherry pie exuding aroma and heat in front of Blackbeard, and said with a smile.

"Zehahaha~, you can call me Blackbeard or you can call me Teach. Plus, these pies smell really good."

Blackbeard smiled, and regardless of the heat on top of the pie, he directly picked up a pie and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, his eyes lit up directly, and his hands quickly stuffed the pie into his mouth.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious!"

"Rifan, I've never eaten a pie like this! "

"Fantastic, this is fantastic!"

It took Blackbeard less than three minutes to stuff a stack of pie into his stomach.

When the pie made by Rifan was completely finished, Blackbeard immediately stood up, put his hands on Rifan's shoulders and said:

"Rifan, your cooking skills are amazing."

"Not even my dead friend, who was a chef, can cook this good."

"To be honest, I am now recruiting crew members to form a pirate group."

"In the first half of the Grand Line, there are not many who can use Armament Haki like you."

"And you have superb cooking skills, how about it? Do you want to join my pirate group and become the chef on my ship?!"

[It is detected that Marshall · D · Teach has sent you an invitation, do you agree? ]

[Here comes the opportunity to successfully become a crew member of the Pirates! ]

[Is it really ok? Considering the existence of the Whitebeard Pirates, I am still a little worried. ]

[At this point, we can only wish Rifan well. But then again, Blackbeard is able to kill the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates 4th Division, and also knows the existence of Armament Haki, and his strength must be good. With such a captain, as long as they doesn't meet the Whitebeard pirates, he's pretty safe. ]

…

One Piece Dungeon World.

'Dead friend chef, you are talking about Thatch, captain of the 4th division, right? '

While Rifan complained in his heart, there was no expression of doubt on his face, but he felt that the Blackbeard in front of him was instantly dangerous and darker.

For the sake of Darkness Fruit, even Thatch, who has been with him for many years, can be killed without hesitation. Rifan believes that as long as there are enough interests, Blackbeard can also kill him without hesitation.

Under such circumstances, join the Blackbeard Pirates?

Needless to say, of course I refused!

"I'm sorry, Teach my friend, I have no idea of ​​joining any Pirate group right now."

Rifan shook his head and said with regret.

[Um? What is Rifan doing and why is he saying no? ]

[Could it be that he is worried about the pursuit of the Whitebeard Pirates? ]

[However, if this is the case, why did he choose to come to Teach's side in the first place, and why did he specially prepare cherry pie for Teach just now to approach him? ]

[Bald Eagle Passerby G: Hehe, I originally thought your Rifan was a person who dared to accept challenges, but now it seems that he is just a man who is afraid of danger. Coward! ]

[Camel Passerby W: Our experts previously said that Rifan might be a member of our Camel country. Now it seems that our experts have made some mistakes. ]

[Green Pheasant: Lacking the spirit of real man, a person like Rifan is not a man at all, but a coward. ]

[Hey you bastards, are you guys so idle? And you don't need to pay attention to the reincarnators in your own country? Also, what do you know about our Rifan's decision, maybe he still has his own plans!]

[Come on, I think the audience from Bald Eagle and Green Pheasant are right, Rifan of our Giant Panda is a coward. Sure enough, I shouldn't have been born in such a country. ]

[It's you lost dog again, you bastard just wait, I will find your address! ]

[Hehe, am I still afraid of you? ! ]

….

Just as the audience was fighting fiercely in Rifan's live broadcast room, the ethereal voice of Copy Space sounded in Rifan's mind.

[You have successfully spent 30 minutes with Marshall D Teach, the talent 'Copy Devil Fruit (one-time)' has been activated successfully, congratulations on getting Dark Fruit! ]

The corners of Rifan's mouth rose, feeling the extra strange power in his body, and his heart was instantly filled with joy.
