Chapter 162: The Evil Bruch

The next morning, Bruch lay on his big bed and slept late.

He was really tired. Yesterday, he overdrew his Conqueror Haki in the battle with Kaido, and his Armament Haki was no exception. Even his Observation Haki was frequently used because the Blood Domain had to absorb blood everywhere.

As a result, after he followed Vice Admiral Tsuru back to the headquarters, he fell headfirst into the bed and slept until now.

The sun was already shining on his butt.

Bruch woke up slowly, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to rush to the Navy cafeteria for a big meal.

He didn't eat last night, and got up late this morning.

He was really hungry.

After wolfing down a meal, Bruch suddenly felt that today's meal was delicious, and couldn't help but wondered: "Who made this meal?"

In the headquarters, the meals he ate were very ordinary, nutritious but average in taste, and there was nothing remarkable, but today was different.

The meal was particularly fresh and fragrant.

The canteen manager had been standing by Bruch's side. When he heard Bruch's question, he stepped forward and said, "Lieutenant General Jinluan, there is a newcomer in our kitchen. It is said that he was once a pirate. The food he made is really delicious..."

"Especially the dessert... I, old Rosen, have never eaten such a sweet dessert." Rosen, the canteen manager, smacked his lips unconsciously.

Bruch was tickled by what he said, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, make me a dessert, let me try it, and see if it is really as delicious as you said!"

Old Rosen's words made Bruch's mouth water, and he swallowed twice unconsciously.

With a smile, Old Rosen seemed to see Bruch's greed, and said, "Okay, Lieutenant General Jinluan, please wait a moment, I will ask him to make you a good dessert."

"Go, go..."

While waiting, Bruch ate the food in his hand clean, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

Soon, Old Rosen brought a palm-sized blue and pink dessert, like a small cake, and placed it in front of Bruch, smiling and saying, "Lieutenant General Jinluan, the dessert is here, please try it!"

He handed Bruch a knife and fork.

Bruch took the cutlery, cut the dessert into two, and put one of them into his mouth--

"Hmm!"

His eyes slowly closed, his mouth moved slightly, and a fragrance of cream and grass fruit passed from the tip of his tongue to his throat and was felt from his nasal cavity.

Unique... sweet... soft but not mushy, and there was no greasy feeling of dessert.

After Bruch finished eating the one in his mouth, he couldn't help but put the one on the plate into his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"Lieutenant General Jinluan, how does the dessert I made taste? Does it suit your taste?" The voice was very clear and sounded very young.

Bruch came back to his senses from the deliciousness of the dessert and looked at the person standing next to Old Rosen with some surprise.

"Why is it you? Aren't you in Shampoo?"

The man in front of me is an acquaintance, and he also joined the navy because of Bruch.

Kirara Nara, a pirate who once had the name of the dark chef, was deceived by Bruch... and recruited into the navy.

He also promised him that he would definitely meet ALL BLUE if he followed him.

However, Bruch almost forgot about him because he was running around.

I didn't expect to see him at the headquarters.

Kirara Nara replied: "The day before yesterday, the marshal called for manpower, and some people from the Shampoo area were also recruited, and I was one of them."

"But the marshal saw that I was a cook, so he approved me to work in the kitchen of the headquarters cafeteria."

"Is that so!"

Bruch looked at him and said: "That means you will go back in two days, which is great."

He smacked his lips and said with some reluctance: "In the future, we can eat such delicious food every day."

Old Rosen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said after a moment: "That... Lieutenant General Jinluan, I'm so sorry, Kirara Nara's cooking skills were favored by the marshal..."

Being favored by Sengoku.

Bruch frowned slightly, what was favored by him.

Seeing that Bruch didn't seem to understand what he meant, Old Rosen continued, "After the marshal ate the meal he cooked, he wanted to keep him in the headquarters..."

With his eyes wide open, Bruch looked at Kirara Nara, who smiled a little embarrassedly. He looked at Old Rosen again, and Old Rosen gave him a look that said, "That's it."

Bruch's expression suddenly became a little dull.

"In other words, the chef I personally recruited... was just given away to that old man Zhan Guo for free?"

"That... is what I mean." Old Rosen replied.

No, this is absolutely not allowed.

Just for that bite of cake, Kirara Nara must not be given away.

Go find Zhan Guo...

Thinking of this, Bruch stood up, grabbed Kirara Nara, and disappeared from the spot, leaving only Old Rosen in a daze.

In the marshal's office--

Zhan Guo was writing a report, and suddenly two figures suddenly appeared in front of Zhan Guo's desk.

Bruch retracted his wings, strode forward, and said with a somewhat bad look: "Old man, what do you mean?"

The sudden figure made Zhan Guo's writing hand tremble. He looked up and saw Bruch very close to him.

"What did you say?" He was a little confused. What happened to Bruch?

Then he saw Kirara Nara behind Bruch...

"What do you mean by keeping him in the headquarters? Huh? This is my subordinate who I recruited myself. Did you get my consent to include my subordinate in the headquarters?" Bruch's expression became even worse.

Is it this matter?

Zhan Guo glanced at Kirara Nara and thought of the cream pudding that the other party made for him...

With a bang, Zhan Guo slapped the table with his big hand. The sound was so loud that Bruch and Kirara Nara were startled. Bruch's forced bad expression also slightly restrained.

"Lieutenant General Jinluan, you are so bold that you broke into the marshal's office without permission and scolded the marshal. Do you have any military rules and discipline in your eyes?"

This slap and shout stunned Bruch for a while.

Sengoku was quite satisfied with this situation and continued, "The cafeteria of the Navy Headquarters is short of staff. This Marshal has incorporated Kirara Nara into the headquarters for the sake of the headquarters... for the sake of the entire navy."

"Kirara Nara himself also agrees, and as his superior, you should support him, instead of leading your subordinates to be like you, with no regard for military rules and discipline!"

"Okay, if there is nothing else, Kirara Nara... you can leave first!"

Bruch and Kirara Nara were a little dazed by Sengoku's series of words. When Kirara Nara heard Sengoku talking about himself, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Okay... okay, Marshal Sengoku."
