Chapter 175 Tavern
Chapter 175 Tavern
The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.
Oden and his retainers walked on the bustling streets, and a lively atmosphere enveloped the entire city.
"Is this also a creature called Pokémon?"
Oden asked, pointing at Gouriki who was helping the construction team.
The Flower City has changed a lot, and what attracted his attention most were the Pokémon of various shapes.
"Lord Oden, this is Gouriki from the Monster Moving Company, and it's also a type of Pokémon."
Kin'emon explained to Oden with a smile.
As someone who has witnessed the changes in Wano Country, he has a certain understanding of the Pokémon living in Wano Country.
At first, he viewed Pokémon as potential enemies and did a lot of research.
"And the birds in the sky too?"
Oden pointed at Popo who was flying through the sky with a small backpack on his back and asked.
"That's a Pokémon called Pidgeot, and it works as a messenger."
"What about that one?"
"That's Pidgeot, the evolved form of Pidgeot, and it works as a deliveryman."
Kin'emon transformed into a human-shaped Pokémon encyclopedia and began to answer Oden's questions.
"evolution?"
Oden asked in confusion upon hearing the unfamiliar word.
"Evolution is an amazing thing. Simply put, it's the transition from childhood to adulthood."
When it comes to professional knowledge, Kin'emon only has a vague understanding and expressed his thoughts.
"Oh I got it!"
Oden made an expression as if he had suddenly realized something, which made Inuarashi, who was still confused, show an expression of admiration.
"There are many ranches in Shimei, where a Pokémon called Milkman is raised. They produce a kind of milk called Moo Moo Milk.
The Pidgeot in the sky delivers Moo Moo Milk, and it tastes absolutely delicious!"
Kin'emon continued to explain to Oden, and as he spoke, saliva couldn't help but flow from the corners of his mouth.
Although the number of large milk tanks has increased a lot, it is still difficult to get a can of Moo Moo Milk in the populous Wano Country.
Generally, Moo Moo milk is provided to milk tea shops first, and only some staff members of the Adrian Chamber of Commerce can get extra Moo Moo milk from the ranch.
"Moo Moo Fresh Milk? I miss it so much!"
Thinking of the Moo Moo Milk he drank in the White Sea before, Oden also became greedy.
During the days when Roger was instructing Zel on how to predict the future, he enjoyed quite a bit of delicious food.
"Lord Oden, we're here!"
Just as Oden was thinking about the delicious food he had eaten on Sky Island before, Kin'emon had already brought them to a tavern.
"Ah He, hurry up and serve the wine, Lord Oden is here!"
Kin'emon excitedly shouted to the tavern's proprietress.
There were still many customers in the tavern at this time. Ahe, who was busy working, stopped and saw Oden and others at the door.
"Kinemon, Lord Oden, you... you're back?"
Seeing Oden at the door, Ahe was also surprised and quickly walked in front of the crowd.
"Ahe, long time no see!"
Oden also knew Ahe and knew that she was Kin'emon's wife, so he greeted her with a smile.
At Ahe's invitation, everyone found a separate room to sit down.
"Kinemon, is this Tsuru's tavern?"
"Yes, Ahe put a lot of effort into opening a tavern in the Flower Capital."
"That's great, are you married?"
"Without Lord Oden as a witness, this wedding wouldn't be complete!"
Just as a few people were chatting, a cute cry was heard.
"Migu!"
A long-eared rabbit about 1.5 meters tall walked in carrying a few bottles of wine.
"Thank you, Usagi!"
Kin'emon was obviously very familiar with this long-eared rabbit and called her name affectionately.
"Migu!"
The long-eared rabbit smiled beautifully, nodded to everyone, and left.
Business in the pub is not easy, she also needs to serve drinks to other guests.
"Is this a Pokémon too?"
"That's right, Lord Oden. Usagi is a long-eared rabbit and usually works in a cafe."
Talking about Usagi, a smile spread across Tsuru's face.
"Azuru was also one of the employees of the cafe before. He and Usagi worked together for a while and established a strong friendship. When Azuru decided to open a pub, they left the cafe together."
Kin'emon said to Oden, with a particularly bright smile on his face.
"Ah? Can I leave with you?"
Oden asked doubtfully.
"Of course, as long as you can gain the friendship of Pokémon and turn in a certain amount of Bailey."
Zell had no intention of restricting the Pokémon's freedom, but he did set certain conditions.
The first thing is to gain the friendship of Pokémon. If you try to snatch Pokémon by force, the quarry may need to hire new employees.
"Oh I got it!"
Oden nodded and took the wine that the long-eared rabbit brought.
There was a pattern of a twisted dog printed on the bottle, exactly the same as the one he had drunk on Sky Island before.
“Is this Mahua wine?”
"As expected of Lord Oden, you know everything!"
Kin'emon once again turned into a fanboy and praised Oden.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Oden drank half a bottle of wine and immediately felt that something was missing.
He prefers eating piping hot oden to drinking alcohol.
"Yes, it's coming soon!"
Ahe left the room and walked back in a few moments later with a plate of boiling hot pot.
“Is this hot pot?”
"As expected of Lord Oden!"
Kin'emon smiled his fanboy smile again, but what he didn't know was that Oden had experienced all these in the White Sea.
The rich aroma filled his nose, making his mouth water. Oden picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start.
"Wait, Lord Oden!"
Ahe called out to Oden, took out a white tooth from a white bag, and threw the tooth into the hot pot in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
"Ahe, what are you doing?"
Kin'emon asked doubtfully.
"This is what Usagi gave me. It's a kind of chili pepper!"
Ah He explained to everyone with a smile.
The teeth that Ahe took out were Relava's teeth, which are a very rare ingredient.
This was also the first time Kin'emon had seen it, but he quickly realized that it was probably another Pokémon creation.
It's not surprising that the Adrian Chamber of Commerce launches new products from time to time.
With the addition of chili peppers, the umami in the air becomes more pronounced.
Oden picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and the taste of chili exploded in his mouth.
“So spicy! Delicious!”
Oden's face turned red from the spiciness, but he still kept picking up food from the hot pot, perfectly illustrating what it meant to be in pain and happy at the same time.
Seeing this, others also picked up their chopsticks and were quickly captivated by the unique spicy taste.
It’s spicy and I want to eat it. I don’t want to put down my chopsticks even if it’s so spicy that my nose is running.
An hour later, Oden finally put down his chopsticks, but it was not because he was full, but because there was no food left in the tavern.
"Thank you for hospitality!"
Oden touched his stomach, still savoring the deliciousness of the hot pot.
