Chapter 165 Delicious Watery Meat

In the Water Seven, in the open space in front of Tom's studio.

"ROOM!"

A light blue spherical field unfolded, and Luo slowly drew his knife, slicing it into pieces at Tom in front of him.

Luo Yi completely cut out the injured area.

"ah!!!"

Suddenly, several loud shouts rang out from the side.

Franky and the others stared wide-eyed, almost bulging out, their hands raised high, their mouths agape, looking horrified and terrified.

"Mr. Tom... his chest has been ripped out?"

The iceberg opened its mouth, trembling slightly.

Tom himself was completely bewildered. Looking down, he saw a large hole in his chest, but no blood was flowing out of it, and he felt no pain whatsoever.

What's going on?!

Luo then cut the cut-out portion into countless smaller pieces, removing all the blood clots that had turned brownish-red. After finishing, Luo simply twisted his finger, and all the fragments reassembled and returned to their original shape, before 'stuffing' them back into Tom's body.

After finishing these tasks, Luo took out a large bundle of bandages and threw it directly at Tom, while simultaneously twirling his fingers again.

The bandage seemed to come alive and automatically wrapped around Tom, covering his chest in just a short while, which meant the wound was bandaged.

Luo withdrew from the surgical field and spoke calmly:

"I've taken care of your injuries. Just eat a light diet and avoid alcohol for now!"

Tom was still a little dazed, staring blankly at the bandage on his chest.

That's it? Is it really that efficient? This is the first time he's experienced such a fast-track medical procedure.

Squeak!

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from inside, and Granny Kokoro stepped out, looking at everyone and calling out:

"The food is ready, come and eat!"

"Have a meal!!"

Luffy and Chopper jumped up immediately upon hearing this.

They shouted excitedly and rushed into the house. The moment they opened the door, their eyes were drawn to the meat on the table.

The rich aroma of meat filled the room, making the two of them drool and their eyes turn into meat.

On the table were many pieces of meat tied at the top with a thin thread, almost identical in shape to the stuffed belly meat.

This is the famous delicacy of the Seven Waters City – Watery Meat!

Kokoro smiled and said to the two, "Watery Meat has an incredibly tender and delicious texture, with a bouncy and juicy feel. It's a specialty of our Water Seven City; one bite and I guarantee you'll fall in love with its flavor!"

Before the words were even finished, the man and the raccoon cat darted out and arrived at the dining table. Each of them picked up a piece of juicy meat and took a bite.

The next second, their pupils widened suddenly, then narrowed, and their bodies became incredibly soft, as if flowing water.

"So~ soft~~"

The two's exaggerated behavior startled Sanji, who had just entered, and he asked with a puzzled look:

"Is it really that delicious?!"

As he spoke, he came to the dining table, picked up a piece of juicy meat and took a bite. Immediately afterward, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Although he didn't experience it like Luffy and the other two, now that he has tasted it, he can understand why they reacted so dramatically.

After carefully tasting it, Sanji turned to Kokoro and asked:

"Grandma, this is called 'Watery Meat,' right? Could you tell me how to cook it?"

To be a qualified chef, one must have a spirit of continuous learning.

"sure!"

Grandma Kokoro nodded, and then explained in detail to Sanji how to make the Watery Meat, including the ingredients to be used and the precautions for each step.

After listening, Sanji frowned slightly.

Although he knew how to make Watery Meat, he could tell from Grandma Kokoro's words that it would be very difficult for him to replicate Watery Meat elsewhere.

Or rather, it's very difficult to replicate the Water Seven Meat. Even if someone could make Water Seven Meat elsewhere, the taste would be different from the Water Seven version.

Because the meat used to make Water Meat has a unique flavor that Water Seven has, and meat from other places does not have this flavor.

That's why "watery meat" has become a specialty of the Seven Waters City.

"Sanji, stop thinking about that and let's eat!"

"Here, have a juicy grilled pork skewer, it's really delicious!"

Luffy, his mouth full, handed a skewer to Sanji.

Sanji was about to reach out and take it when someone else was faster, snatching the meat from Luffy's hand and taking a bite.

"Mmm! It tastes really good!"

Zoro nodded and offered a fair assessment.

(⊙o⊙)...

Sanji looked at his empty hands, then at Zoro happily eating beside him, and his anger instantly erupted, his eyes turning into flames.

"You green algae-headed guy, you're asking for it!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sanji kicked out, and Zoro immediately drew his sword to block, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"What's wrong, you frowning guy? You're blaming others for your own indecisiveness?"

"Enough with the nonsense, I'll kick you to death today!"

"That suits me perfectly, I wanted to kill you too!!"

The next moment, their daily routine began, and they started fighting again.

Kyle and his group sat down at the table and addressed Tom and the others:

"Ignore them both, that's just how they are!"

"We'll eat our own!"

As he spoke, Kyle also picked up a piece of juicy meat and took a bite. Instantly, the juices burst in his mouth, and the rich meaty flavor filled his taste buds.

It is indeed very soft~

The others didn't hesitate either; they all started to devour the juicy meat in front of them, eating a few bites of the original flavor and then a few skewers of barbecue—it felt absolutely amazing!

After a while, everyone was lying back in their chairs, their bellies bulging, their faces full of enjoyment.

They were very satisfied with this feast of meat and seafood!

After a short while, Kyle adjusted his posture and looked at Tom and the others beside him.

Now that we've eaten, it's time to get down to business!

"Mr. Tom, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!"

"you say!"

"That's right, our Naval Headquarters also wants to open a sea-based railway line between Water Seven and our territory to facilitate the procurement of various supplies!"

"However, due to the special nature of the Naval Headquarters, this track has no passenger stations, only Water Seven and Marineford as the two terminus stations. Additionally, we need to build an extra maritime train specifically for our Naval Headquarters, for the exclusive use of our navy and procurement clients!"

"The cost of building the train, as well as its daily operation and maintenance, will be covered by our navy!"

"Mr. Tom, what do you think of this proposal?"
