Arceus’ Pirate Journey - Chapter 1478

Chapter 1457-1: Captives of Food and Secret Seasonings

Chapter 1457 1: Captives of Food and Secret Seasonings A gust of cold
wind
blew by, and the shredded sand and dust on the ground were picked up by the wind. The cold wind even formed a small tornado in the empty desert. Compared to the scorching heat of the day, the temperature in the desert at night was extremely low. The huge temperature difference was reaping lives all the time.

But even in this harsh environment, traces of tents and campfires can be seen.

“I’m starting!”

The blue-haired man took the first step to pick up the uncooked piece of meat, and then swallowed it in one gulp, almost sucking it.

“Delicious, Zebra, what are you doing? We’re going to enter the red desert maze area tomorrow, aren’t you going to replenish your energy?”

The Red Desert Maze is a desert surrounding the Food Pyramid. There is even a legend that countless food hunters died in it, and their blood dyed this place completely red.

The Food Pyramid is even known as one of the seven incredible places in the world, and the three people here are the ones who are moving forward together with the Food Pyramid as their goal, Aro and Zebra, two of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet, and Aro’s partner Komatsu.

“Something is coming.”

Zebula’s ears moved and his eyes looked to the other side of the sand dune. His ability was related to sound waves and his hearing was quite special. Even though he was far away, he could sense something strange.

“Indeed, it looks quite large.”

A Lu saw the gravel at his feet begin to shake, and he also stood up. Xiao Song stood behind the two of them quite consciously.

Boom!
Not long after, accompanied by a loud bang, a huge sandworm emerged from the desert.

“It’s the ham sandworm! Zebra, this is edible! And it tastes pretty good.”

“Not this, there’s more!”

Zebula stopped Alu who was about to capture food and looked behind the giant sandworm.

“Stop right there! Don’t you want to eat me? Then don’t run away!”

Along with a burst of annoyed voice, a pretty voice came from there, followed by a more ferocious breath. Yamato, dressed in a desert exploration outfit, jumped up from behind, and then punched the sandworm on the head.

A strange force was transmitted into the sandworm’s body, and then the extreme cold force began to spread in its body. Accompanied by the cold wind in the desert, the sandworm’s body gradually became stiff, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

“Excuse me, are you camping here?”

The person who knocked down the giant sandworm with one punch was naturally Yamato. Shortly after the Pokémon Carnival ended, she began her own training journey in order to defeat Kaido. This was her first stop, a world that belonged to food captives.

In a sense, this place is not even a purely different world, but has a slight connection with the sea where she was born.

This desert was her first stop, but the sandworm chose the wrong prey. When it found out that it was the prey, it was already too late.

“Very high”

After Yamato came to the ground, Komatsu realized how exaggerated the size of the woman in front of him was. Among the three of them, Zebra was the tallest, reaching 2.55 meters, but in front of Yamato who was nearly three meters tall, Zebra was still a head shorter.

As for the horns on his head, Xiaosong just regarded them as decorations at this time.

“My name is Yamato. Can you sell me some of your barbecue? It smells really good.”

Yamato herself is a very outgoing person, and she thinks the chance encounter in the desert is also a kind of fate. Attracted by the smell, she directly proposed a deal.

When she went out, she carried a lot of precious metals with her. After all, these kinds of items were relatively valuable in most worlds. Even though there was a gold planet in the gourmet world, the price of gold had not collapsed.

“Well, you don’t plan to cook this ham sandworm?”

Listening to Yamato’s words, Alu pointed at the sandworm behind Yamato. When hunting for gourmet food, Alu has his own principles. He will not kill unless it is for food, and once killed, he must eat it. This is his rule.

Of course, he did not apply this idea to all strangers. Only the meaningless killing of gourmets would arouse his disgust.

They are all treated as prey, so it is reasonable to fight back.

However, Yamato’s simple killing seemed strange to him. He gave up the higher-quality food even though he was hungry.

“Is this edible? You should have a chef, right? Let’s make a deal. You cook it and we split it in half.”

“So you don’t know how to cook? Of course that’s no problem, Xiaosong, I’m counting on you.”

“Leave it to me, Mr. Alu, I will take care of it.”

With food as the starting point, Yamato and Aru established some preliminary communication. While Komatsu was preparing the food, they also learned about the purpose of each other’s visit through simple chat.

“You mean you want to become stronger through fighting?”

“Yeah, you two seem pretty strong too, do you want to have a competition?”

As we all know, with Oda’s updates, Kaido’s value is constantly increasing. So if Yamato wants to defeat Kaido, he can only adopt Kaido’s method. After all, fighting is the fastest way to become stronger.

According to Kaido’s logic, as long as he doesn’t die, he will always become stronger after so many near-death experiences. Of course, the prerequisite is that he has a body that can withstand the destruction, otherwise he will die prematurely.

“Fight? I’d love to.”

“Zebra, this is not the place for a fight.”

“cut.”

According to Zebra’s personality, he would not listen to Alu’s advice. He had just been released from prison and had a bad temper. However, he now had an agreement with Xiaosong, so he would still acquiesce to some of Alu’s ideas, at least before hunting down the target this time.

“Mr. Aru, Mr. Zebra, Ms. Yamato, the ham sandworms are ready.

This one without chili is yours, Miss Yamato.”

Although it was small compared to the sandworm, Xiaosong still managed to deal with this giant creature with ease. Compared with gourmet hunters like Alu, Xiaosong was very weak, but in terms of physical strength and power, he far exceeded ordinary people.

“I can’t believe that this is what it tastes like.”

It looks like a bug, but tastes like top-notch honey ham. Apart from the fact that the first impression made Yamato unable to associate it with food, she couldn’t find any fault with it.

Most of the strange foods on the sea are plants, such as the peculiar flora of the Boeing Islands. The various bizarre creatures in the gourmet world do not appear there, let alone sandworms that seem difficult to associate with food.

However, in this world, if your level of acceptance is not high, it is best not to delve into exactly what part of the organism you are eating.

Before today, Yamato had never thought that the mucus in the sandworm’s body could be turned into a sauce with a honey-like texture after special processing.

“It’s the effect of quick freezing. When the ham sandworm is captured, it needs to be quickly frozen at low temperatures to achieve this effect. Miss Yamato, your power just freezes it perfectly. It’s simply a natural refrigerator.”

“Your cooking skills are great, but there seems to be something strange in this sweet taste.”

“Oh, how could that be? Oops, it’s sugar! The taste of sugar at night will change due to the temperature. Sorry, I’ll go make another batch right now, there should be other sugar that can be used.”

The sand sugar here refers to the yellow sand in the desert, but this kind of sand is very special and can be used as sugar.

“Sugar? Then try this. This is the best sugar I have at home.”

Yamato said as he rummaged through his bag and pulled out a bottle of pink powdery substance.

“What? Is it weird? I’m just not good at cooking. It’s no problem to cook simply. Of course, I have to prepare everything when I go camping or training.”

Looking at the slightly dazed Komatsu, Yamato thought he was curious about this kind of thing.

“No, I just haven’t seen candy like this before.”

Xiaosong shook his head, with an indescribable feeling in his heart, but he seemed to have some desire for this powdered sugar in his heart.

As he opened the jar, A’lu’s nose twitched twice.

“This taste.”

He first ate the giant ham in his hand, which was as big as a calf, in one bite, and then he came to Yamato’s side almost instantly.

“Can I try that candy first?”

Due to the gourmet cells in their bodies, these powerful gourmet hunters need to absorb a considerable amount of calories from the outside world every day. Food has always been something of vital importance in their cognition.

Moreover, some foods will resonate with the cells in their bodies and prompt the evolution of their gourmet cells. Once the urge to eat something arises, it often means something very special.

“Whatever, it’s just some powdered sugar.”

Those pink things are the secret seasoning – sweet. As Arceus’ power completely affects the entire ocean, this special seasoning begins to naturally appear in some areas. In essence, it is a wonderful combination of minerals and plants, and is as mysterious as Pokémon.

However, on Onigashima, there is a batch of secret seasonings that were created and spawned by Arceus himself, which is the batch in Yamato’s hand. According to the food world, they are the same type of things, but the capture levels are also different.

There is no doubt that the batch in Yamato’s hands is the highest level of capture.

A’lu’s sense of smell was extremely developed, even stronger than that of dogs. At this time, the sweet scent had already entered his brain. He poured some of it into the palm of his hand. After a brief observation, A’lu poured it directly into his mouth.

“Wow, your people here can glow? I’ve never seen anything like that.”

“Have your gourmet cells evolved? What an exaggerated food luck.”

Looking at Alu with a faint fluorescent light on his body, Zebula attributed all this to Alu’s good food luck. However, judging from the degree of the glow, the secret seasoning – sweetness – was not particularly compatible with him.

“This taste. Can I ask where you found this kind of candy? This kind of candy is very suitable for my taste. Is it some kind of high-level captured ingredient?”
