Chapter 43
The boat continued to sail on the azure sea.
Inside the cabin, in the simple but not shabby kitchen, Ivan was busy.
He skillfully removed the heads and shells of several large shrimps, peeled the shrimp meat, and then opened the backs to remove the shrimp threads.
Then he poured a little olive oil into the pot, added the shrimp heads and shells and fried them. After the aroma came out, he added boiling water to stew.
During this time, Ivan also cut an onion and two tomatoes.
Then he took another pot, poured oil into it, added onions and a little minced garlic and stir-fried them, then added the chopped tomatoes, and after frying to a certain degree, added rice and stir-fried evenly.
Then he spread the rice flat. At this time, the shrimp soup that was boiling on the side was almost cooked. He poured the shrimp soup into the rice pot, and the temperature was stimulated. The aroma was already overwhelming.
Ivan took out the seafood that had been processed in advance, squid tentacles, squid rings, mussels, clams, scallop meat, whatever was available on the boat, and it was not a complicated and delicate dish.
Add all these things to the pot, and then add a little salt and black pepper to season. The seasoning is not too much, and the taste of many seafood is enough.
Then just cover the pot and wait for more than ten minutes, and a pot of fragrant seafood rice can be served.
Although I don’t know how it compares to Sanji’s specialty seafood fried rice, Ivan is still very confident about it.
While he was busy in the kitchen, Robin supported her chin with her hand on the dining table next to him, watching him quietly.
The girl was a little fascinated
“What are you looking at?”
Ivan turned around, wiped his hands with a towel, and asked in surprise,”Is it hard for you to accept that I can cook after so many days?”
This time he was sailing by himself, so he could only cook by himself.
Robin volunteered to cook a meal, but Ivan, who had been spoiled by his cooking skills, was indeed difficult to be satisfied with her vital signs maintenance meals.
So, Chef Ivan made a solemn appearance and has cooked many meals so far.
Robin smiled lightly, squinting his eyes,”No matter how many times I see it, the difference is too obvious. A knife for killing people can also be a knife for cutting vegetables.”
Moreover, the boy’s cooking skills are not ordinary high. At least the food cooked by his hands is the most delicious thing Robin has ever seen in his life.
“Then you should really thank me.”
Ivan took off his apron and hung it on a hook on the wall.”I rarely cook for others, but you should feel honored by this, Robin.”
“That’s really flattering, Mr. Ivan.”
Robin smiled and said,”Can I take a photo of this moment?”
Ivan looked at the girl and couldn’t help but smile.
Robin’s mouth also kept rising.
The time was almost up, Ivan opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma came to the face.
Each person served a plate, and a small piece of freshly cut lemon was served on the side.
“Try it, Robin, Ivan’s special paella”
“Then I won’t be polite.”
The small cabin fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of plates and spoons colliding.
Robin ate quietly and elegantly, while looking up at Ivan who was wolfing down his food.
Noticing her gaze, Ivan looked up,”Why, it’s not to your taste?”
“No, it’s delicious, really delicious.”
Robin shook her head gently, her eyes as gentle as flowing waves.
It’s been a long time since someone specially cooked for her.
The last time was when her mother didn’t leave O’Hara, right?
“Ivan,”
Robin suddenly asked,”what do you want to do?”
Originally Robin was indifferent to this matter, as long as Ivan could take her to the Giant Kingdom.
But now, she began to care more and more about it.
Ivan paused,”You should know my past, right? Robin.”
Robin nodded gently.
When they shared a room on the ship before, she saw it clearly, the mark on Ivan’s chest that belonged to the slaves of the Celestial Dragons
“The Tianlong people gave me a past that was extremely humiliating and painful, so,”
Ivan said calmly,”I have to give it back to them.”
“Since they didn’t kill me, I’ll kill them.”
“……”
Clang!
The spoon in Robin’s hand fell on the plate, making a crisp collision sound.
Although Ivan was known to be a reckless man, when he really said this, Robin was still deeply shocked.
“Are you serious? Ivan!”
Robin put her hands on the table, no longer as elegant and calm as before, her face was pale and sweaty,”That’s the World Government! The World Government that has ruled the world for 800 years! No one has ever been able to resist them, O’Hara just disobeyed their orders and was completely wiped out!”
The shadow in her heart has never dissipated.
The flame of O’Hara that night has always been burning in her heart.
“”Yeah.”
Ivan just nodded slightly.
“What do you mean, huh?”
Robin could see the nonchalant expression on the boy’s face.
He didn’t care about his warning at all.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re scared,” he said, picking up a large shrimp with a fork and stuffing it into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face,”Let me help you avenge O’Hara.”
“That’s not what I’m talking about!”
Robin couldn’t help but raise his voice,”Ivan, do you understand?——”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Ivan said in surprise,”I want to destroy the Celestial Dragons and overthrow the World Government.”
“You, want to do it?”
Robin was a little confused,”Just because you want to do it? ?”
“If you want to do it, just do it. If you are afraid of it, then why should I go to sea?”
Ivan said as a matter of course,”Robin, will you back down just because it is extremely difficult to uncover the truth of the blank hundred years?”
Robin was suddenly speechless.
Ivan smiled and said,”You just need to watch it all. I will let you know that it is not us who should be afraid!”
Okay, watch?
Robin pursed her lips.
Looking at Ivan’s firm determination, she really didn’t seem so scared.
The boat continued to move forward, and a week passed quickly.
At this time, the boat had arrived in the northern area of the West Sea, not far from the doldrums.
And on the morning of this day
“”Ivan!”
Robin exclaimed on the deck,”Come and see! What is that?”
Ivan, who was sleeping in the cabin, walked out of the cabin door sleepily, and then he didn’t even need to look around, what Robin said was already reflected in his eyes.
It was an island.
An island floating on the sea.
Or perhaps it should be said——
“Is that a ship?
Robin exclaimed.
Please everything! Please everything!
