One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 55: Eating for Free

"Got it!" Gion said cheerfully and leapt away without waiting for a reply.

Sengoku could only shake his head with a helpless smile.

This girl... seriously.

Still, the Navy had mobilized serious power this time to capture Ryuunosuke.

And if this still failed?

Then the hit to their credibility would be worse than ever. The World Government would come down hard on them for incompetence. Worse, even the pirates who used to fear the Navy might get bolder, spiraling everything out of control.

Sengoku had already braced himself for that possibility. Which was why he assigned a special operative to this operation.

As long as that man didn't screw up, taking down the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates should be no problem.

At that moment, Ryuunosuke and his crew had arrived at Whiskey Peak.

As expected, the welcome was extremely enthusiastic.

"Ryuunosuke, are you sure it's okay to eat like this?" Akame asked while stuffing her face.

"These people definitely poisoned the food."

Despite the warning, she was still eating like a starved beast.

Though Akame had a killer figure, her appetite was something else entirely. The stack of plates next to her was already over a meter high.

"You're still chomping down even after calling it poisoned," Ryuunosuke said, laughing. "Anyway, those toxins won't do anything to us."

"As for the cooks? With Hawkins watching over them, there won't be any funny business."

"So relax and enjoy the feast."

The rest of the crew didn't need to be told twice. They were scarfing down food like there was no tomorrow.

Ever since Ace had burned through their food supply, they hadn't eaten properly in two whole days.

In the kitchen...

"Hey! What the hell is going on!?"

"We're down to half our food reserves!"

"Did the poison expire or something!? Why are those pirates still up and walking around!?"

A middle-aged man with a kind face—who was now anything but kind—was on the verge of flipping a table.

Their entire operation relied on this system—serve poisoned food, let the pirates drop dead, and then cash in their bounties at the local Marine branch.

But these pirates? They were monsters. Immune to everything.

"We've been increasing the dosage, big bro," one of the chefs said, panic creeping into his voice as he scrambled with the next batch of food. "But nothing's working! They're not even dizzy!"

They were pirate hunters, sure, but over the years, most of them had forgotten that part. These days, they were glorified cooks waiting for victims to show up.

"Brother!"

A younger pirate hunter ran into the kitchen, out of breath.

"We just got confirmation on who we're dealing with!"

"The guy doing the dishes? That's Fire Fist Ace, second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Bounty—550 million Berries!"

"The rest? It's the Dragon Hunter Pirates! Their captain, Ryuunosuke, is a new face with a bounty of 100 million!"

"And that scary dude handling the poisons? That's Basil Hawkins, captain of the Hawkins Pirates!"

Dead silence filled the kitchen.

The lead pirate hunter blinked, stunned.

"Shit..." he muttered.

They'd seriously messed up. These weren't your everyday pirates.

They were the real deal.

---

At that moment, a voice called out behind them.

"Hey, don't stop cooking. We're not done yet."

Everyone froze.

Hawkins stepped into the kitchen, calm as ever, an eerie grin on his face. One of the scarecrows in his hand suddenly burst into flames.

"Tsk. If the captain hadn't told me not to kill you all, I'd have torched you by now for wasting one of my scarecrows."

He stepped forward slowly.

"You've already blown your cover, so now you work for us. Got it?"

He extended his hands, touching each of the cooks.

One by one, scarecrows appeared in Hawkins' hands—symbols of his power.

From that moment on, every one of them was bound to him. If they wanted to die? Fine. But it'd be their own pain.

And to Hawkins, wasting resources was the greatest sin of all.

"U-Understood, Lord Hawkins!" the kitchen crew shouted in unison, fear etched on every face.

They'd all heard of Basil Hawkins. A monster in his own right.

After what just happened, they were just grateful to still be breathing.

"Smart decision," Hawkins said, turning back toward the dining hall. "But let me be clear—you've already seen your death. Try anything stupid, and you will die."

As soon as he was gone, the pirate hunters all exhaled in relief.

"Hey, don't just stand there!"

The boss barked orders at the staff.

"Cook like your life depends on it—because it does! Forget the poison! Just make the food delicious, you hear me!?"

The Den Den Mushi was already buzzing as he ordered extra ingredients.

These people weren't just pirates. They were bottomless pits.

---

Back in the dining area, Ryuunosuke leaned back in his chair with a grin.

"See? Told you the food wasn't poisoned."

Akame giggled. "Ryuunosuke, you're totally scamming them into feeding us for free."

She flashed a playful smile.

The rest of the crew laughed along with her.

It was hard to say whether these poor bastards at Whiskey Peak were unlucky for trying to mess with them...

...or lucky they hadn't all died yet.
