Chapter 2 The Tavern and the Boy

The sun rises from the sea level, and the junction of the sea and the sky is like two suns connected, which is very beautiful, and the warm sun sweeps away the coolness of the early morning.

Lazy seagulls rowed across the sea, preparing for the first foraging early in the morning. Soothing waves beat on the pier, and a slightly fishy sea breeze bypassed the fishing boats by the pier.

Early in the morning, when most of the people were still struggling in the blankets, the fishermen of Flying Fish Island had already returned to Hong Kong, sold the fished seafood, and started the celebration after a day of labor.

The medieval-style tavern was filled with fishermen who had just returned from fishing. The noisy conversations and the unconcealed voices were full of boldness from the sea.

The oak barrel glass was filled with orange beer, and the rich bubbles almost overflowed the barrel mouth. After every clinking, after raising your head and drinking, you didn’t care about the froth on the beard and grabbed the salt and pepper grilled octopus Just stuff it in your mouth.

The fresh and juicy octopus, the unique sweetness of seafood and salt and pepper, completely remove the fishy smell, the mouth is full of sweetness, people can't help but want to pour the sweet cold beer into the mouth.

"Yoooooooooo, Raf, I heard you met the lord of the sea?"

"Yeah, I almost can't come back. It's horrible." The strong Ralph took a sip of his beer without covering up his fear.

"Hahaha, you are so lucky, Raf." Wopuhaha laughed.

"Cut, bastard Volpe, Markino, two more beers, count on this bastard's head."

The round oak table is not small, but it is a lot short in front of the group of tall fishermen.

In twos and threes, they teased and ridiculed each other, but did not care, laughed presumptuously, and the tavern was full of lively and warm atmosphere.

"Come on, two beer." Magino put the beer in his hand on the oak round table.

With a twenty-year-old appearance, a yellow headscarf, and a warm smile, the people on Flying Fish Island love this little girl who has grown up since childhood.

"What about my lovely Ivan? Why didn't I see him in the tavern today?" Wopu looked around, but didn't find the figure who is busy in the tavern everyday, and he was a little confused.

"I went fishing at Lake Doroi early in the morning." Magino said with a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable love.

"fishing?"

"Idiot, it will be Ivan's birthday in a few days." Raf rolled his eyes at Volpe, who might be his future boss.

"No wonder." Woop suddenly realized.

Doroy is the native dialect of Flying Fish Island, which translates to mean happiness. The name of Lake Doroy comes from the fish that lives in the lake called Doroy by the people of Flying Fish Island.

Fresh and tender meat, golden and oily on the surface of the white meat, is rare and precious. It is a rare species that can be eaten for happiness.

In the tradition of Flying Fish Island, boys need to go fishing for Doroy in Lake Doroy around their sixteenth birthday.

This is to warn the boys that if you want Doroi, you need to rely on your own hands to get it, no matter how hard it is, you can always receive Doroi with your own hands.

The boy’s sixteenth birthday is a very important day on Flying Fish Island. It represents adulthood, responsibility, courage, and qualification to go fishing alone.

So early in the morning, Ivan was driven out of the tavern by Magino, carrying a small barrel with bait, and carrying a fishing rod to Lake Doroi.

"The cute little Ivan is also coming of age, time is so fucking! Yooooo..." Wopuhaha laughed.

"Markino, add a plate of salt and pepper octopus here."

With the shouts one after another in the tavern, Magino's slightly busy figure wandered around the wine tables.

With a sound of'……', the wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, and an old man with a straw hat walked in, dressed in Hawaiian style, but his body rickety because of his old age, without losing its authority.

Suddenly, the noise in the tavern stopped, and everyone focused on the old man.

"Why is the village chief here? It's really rare?" Someone showed a flattering smile.

All the fishermen on Feiyu Island were mischievous and lawless when they were young, but they were often beaten by the village head. Even when they grew up, they couldn't hide the shadows left by the village head when they were young.

"Come here to deliver the letter." The village chief said and took an envelope in his hand to Magino.

"This is a letter to Ivan, and the news bird just sent it over."

The dark gold kraft paper envelope, with simple patterns imprinted on it, and the golden ink on the seal of the envelope, all show the nobleness of the envelope.

Mackinaw took the envelope suspiciously, and the other people in the tavern also came over curiously, wanting to see what was in the envelope?

Flying Fish Island is just a peaceful island in a remote area. An envelope like this is very rare for everyone.

Mackino looked through the envelope, but found no information, only the four words [Food Academy] rubbed on the ink pad.

"Huh!" Magino looked at the village chief, with a look of surprise, some of them couldn't believe such a thing.

"That's right." The village head nodded to Markino, a rare smile appeared on his serious face.

"What, what happened?" Everyone in the tavern was very curious about the mystery of the village chief and Magino, and couldn't wait to know what happened.

"Everyone, Ivan may have been admitted to the Culinary Institute." Magino said with a look of excitement and could not wait.

"what!!!"

After a few seconds of silence in the tavern, a loud noise suddenly erupted.

At this time, Ivan, as the protagonist in the tavern, did not know what was happening in the tavern.

In the forest in the early morning, broken golden sunlight fell on the earth through the leaves, and the dew that took a night to condense still stayed on the green grass, under the sunlight, it was like a shining gem.

The sounds of cicadas and birds were one after another. The dragonfly that stayed overnight on the dead branches of the lake trembled its wings full of dew, lightly tapping the lake, and there was a wave of waves on the lake.

The dragonfly didn't know that his every move was seen by the boy.

Extending to the wooden bridge several meters in the lake, I saw the young man sitting lazily on the wooden bridge with a fishing rod embedded in a small hole in the wooden bridge, making him a little more leisurely and casual.

Looking at the actions of the dragonfly not far away, a smile appeared on the corner of the boy's mouth. The smile as warm as Magino and the clear eyes of spring water made it difficult for people to leave an impression on the boy.

The pale green lake water, the dense foliage on top of the shade, the metallic fishing line submerged in the lake, the buoys floated and floated on the lake, and the gentle breeze swept the fragrance of the trees on the lake.

'Haw...' A bird that flew from nowhere stopped on the fishing rod and combed its feathers.

The blue and white feathers, the light red pointed beak, looked around from time to time, watching around, but didn't care about Ivan not far away, perhaps because I didn't feel the dangerous breath in Ivan.

It didn't take long for the bird that combed its feathers to shake its wings. It broke away from the fishing rod and appeared ten meters away. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared in the dense forest, and the dragonfly disappeared together.

Even after sixteen years, Ivan remained amazed at this world as always.

At first, Ivan thought that he was just an ordinary crossing, a backward world, but when he saw news about the Great Channel in the newspaper, he thought that he had come to the world of One Piece, and he was a little worried about safety.

As time went by, the understanding of this world became more and more profound, only to discover that this world not only has a great waterway, but also the Hunter Association. The notorious Phantom Brigade has appeared in the newspaper more than once. The concept of mind power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The fruit makes people enthusiastic, and the food cells sleeping in the body try to wake up.

Up to now, Ivan doesn't know what kind of world he has come into. He just knows that this world is full of unknowns and mysteries, food and temptation, a paradise for adventurers, and a holy land for food lovers.

Suddenly the buoy trembles slightly, attracting Ivan's attention, and silently holds the fishing rod with his palm.

The buoy trembles several times, and Ivan is unmoved. He knows that this is just a cunning temptation.

Fishing is a duel between patience, and the first thing that can't stand it is always easy to pay the price.

Soon the fish's patience was exhausted. In an instant, the buoy sank into the water, the fishing line was tight, and the fishing rod became semi-circular due to the huge pulling force. Ivan had already changed his previous lazy appearance.

His eyes were full of sharpness, holding the fishing rod with both hands, the legs that were sitting crosswise also stood up.

The originally calm water surface was no longer calm, and the waves suddenly became turbulent. The fish at the bottom of the lake were very strong. Several times Ivan was almost dragged into the lake. This kind of pulling force is something Ivan has never experienced in fishing for so many years.

The two sides persisted for a long time, and the fish in the lake gradually weakened. Seeing this situation, the experienced Ivan tightened the fishing line secretly, and soon a red dorsal fin appeared on the lake.

At this time, the fish in the lake revealed their original appearance, with a length of about twenty centimeters, a slender body, a slender beard on each side of the lips, and the golden-red fish scales dazzling under the reflection of the sun.
