Project 5 Plan B: Let's Make a Cabbage Field

Fou, fou! (Chomp, chomp)

My, look at how you're inhaling that, Fou.

They're delicious cooked and raw. Cabbages are great.

？！

Yes. They saved sailors from a certain disease.

...A scary disease called scurvy.

Even in our era, many sailors died from scurvy. If only we'd known about it sooner...

？！

Scurvy is a disease that comes from a lack of vitamin C. It used to be a real problem for sailors on long journeys.

But once sauerkraut, or pickled cabbagewhich is high in vitamin Cbegan to be used as preserved food...

it finally became possible to prevent scurvy.

That's right. So I figured that cabbage would also be good luck for us pirates.

Luck is something very important to us pirates.

On a sea voyage, so much of what's around you is beyond your control.

And we had to live with that for a long time, in a place where everyone's lives were on the line.

In a situation like that, you'd want to cling to anything that might bring good luck.

All kinds of stuff used to happen on long voyages.

Picking a certain kind of food can change everyone's fate...

？！

Yes, you're right, Master.

Okay, I'm tired of eating them raw. Let's make some other type of cabbage dish.

We can summon everyone here and have a cabbage party.

A cabbage party. I like the sound of that. By the way, are there any plans on making stuffed cabbage?

(Wh-When did she get here!?)
