To Umbra8191: Thanks and hope you like this chapter!
To IndigoButterfly: Heheh, it's okay and thanks for the review. Also, you are very conniving, coming up with that type of motivation! Thanks for reading my newest One Piece fanfic too. And I just got my revenge on Teach...Now for Akainu...Hehehe...Anyway hope you enjoy the chapter and sorry for keeping you up like that.
To raw666: Hehehe...You'll just have to read it and find out, thought the second one has a high chance of being used. Thanks for the review by the way and hope you enjoy the chapter.
To Shiary: Glad you liked it, thanks, and hope you enjoy the story.
To Kitsumi-sama: Heh, well this is Sanji we're talking about here, though I'd love to see him try that with an eleven year old Luffy around. Anyway thanks for the review and hope you enjoy the fanfic!
To Amaya:...Um...Amaya-san, you have to remember that despite her personality, Luffy is eleven years old. Several of the characters you just listed (All of them) are at least somewhere in or near their 20s. I picked Coby because the age difference was more realistic, besides he's one of my favorites, and actually one of my few favorite Marines. But thanks for the review and glad you love it so much, as for the hug, how about a cookie? And as for the reactions thing, those will all come eventually. More likely after she beats Arlong, she gets in a lot more trouble after she beats Crocy-chan. Heheh...I also have a little surprise for that chapter. Anyway thanks for the review again, and hope you enjoy this chapter as well.
To Naomi-nami16: Thanks, that actually was a lot harder to come up with then you would think. Hope you anjoy this chapter as well, and thanks for the review!

Episode 10: Sanji the Cook!
At the Baratie-
Luffy was currently standing in front of the head chef and captain of the famous sailing restaurant Baratie, Zeff. She had, for all intense and purposes, as it was an accident, almost blown up their ship and the man with it, deflecting a cannonball that had been fired at her and her crew earlier. The end result was a huge hole in the captains quarters of the ship. The man was willing to forgive her, but she appearently had to work, for a whole year, which she was not willing to agree with, so she shortened it, to the man's irritation, to three weeks. He only got angrier when she shortened it to two week,s, then one and finally five days. When she hit that number, the man clocked upside the head.
"What makes you think you can work off the dept in five days!" he hollered out as Luffy rubbed her now tender head slightly. That had hurt, and since she was cut off from the ocean, she couldn't have blocked it easily, not without causing more damage.
"I can't be staying in one place for a year! I have to be a Pirate! If I don't keep moving, they'll catch me! I'll get dragged home and forced to be some idiot marines wife! NO WAY AM I LETTING THAT HAPPEN IF I CAN HELP IT!" She demanded as she stood up defiantly. Suddenly the door opened to reveal a man with blonde hair in a black suit.
"Oi! What the hell is going on?" He barked out, only to get clocked in the head by Zeff for his interruption.
"Sanji you-""There is an eleven year old in this room." Luffy cut in, drawing the attention of both cooks to her place on the floor. Sanji blinked slightly before walking up to her, and offering a hand,
"I have no idea what a little lady such as yourself is doing on the floor like that." He stated simply as he helped her stand.
"So what's going on?" Zef grumbled a bit before finally hollering out,
"None of your business! Just take her and go!" he demanded. Sanji shugged nonchalantly and walked off, Luffy foolowing at his heels slightly.
The Kitchens-
Luffy sat on a crate and out of the way as she watched with childish amusement as Sanji as his fellow chefs went about the kitchen cooking and preparing various dishes. They had formerly introduced themselves earlier as they walked in, before Sanji had her sit on said crate and stay out of the way. Sanji occasionally left the kitchen, but was never gone for too long, and occasionally dropped a fruit of some sort into her hands as he passed by. His most recent trip by her left Luffy with a ripe orange, which Luffy was currently snacking on. Suddenly Luffy's crew walked in, catching Sanji's eyes almost immediately,
"Oh! What a lovely beauty you are! An angel has stepped into the kitchens!" Luffy blinked in confusion, but decided to ignore it as Sanji ended his actions quite quickly, seeming to remember something and deciding to curb the behavior for now. One of the cooks, Patty, if Luffy remembered his name correctly, bust out laughing at the sudden behavior change,
"What's this? HAHAHAHA! Sanji's actually behaving and not acting like a blasted per-" he didn't get to finish as Sanji slapped his hand over the man's mouth. Getting several strange looks from the surrounding cooks, Sanji simply gestured his head over to Luffy, who was still paying rapt attention to her current fruit-based snack. They all nodded in understanding and went back to their business as Nami and the others walked over to her.
"So how did it go?" Nami asked with a slight tilt of her head, her arms crossed infront of her. Luffy swung her feet back and forth slightly as she offered an orange to the woman, tossing a piece into her own mouth before answering,
"It went well, considering the fact that I got clocked in the head for saying that I'd work for only five days." This got laughs from everyone present, before they all finally settled down.
"I think I found us a cook though." This got raised eyebrows from everyone except the cooks, who were a bit too busy at the moment to be listening to what the eleven year old was saying.
"Really now? And who would that be." Luffy just grinned mischievously before calling out, much to the chagrin of everyone present, in a really loud voice,
"SANJI!" He walked over to her giving her a strange look the whole time, while Luffy just continued to grin,
"Do I want to know why ya' called me over here." Nami just smiled nervously in apology as Luffy asked him a question,
"I wnat you in my crew!" She stated simply with a childish grin. She continued to elaborate when Sanji gave her a confused look, "I'm gonna be Queen of the Pirates! And I need a cook, I want you to be that cook! Besides, you give me fruit!" She stated happily as she motioned to the bucket of peels that had been growing to near full. Sanji grinned slightly before giving her a pat on the head,
"Aren't you a bit too young to be trying that?" he asked. He wasn't picking on her despite the tone, no it was just curiosity as to what a child was doing setting sail and trying to become a pirate. Luffy answered her tone a tad damper then normal,
"I can't wait till I'm older to become a pirate. I don't have time to wait anymore, it's either become a pirate now, or get myself married off to some idiotic, egotistical, and rich brat who I know for a fact I'm gonna clobber sooner or later." She smiled slightly at the last part. Though they all laughed slightly at the slihgt joke, no one present would put it past the girl to do just as she said she would. And Sanji could tell from just one glance that this was one girl, who no matter her age, wasn't to be kept from where she wanted to go and who she wanted to be. No, that was a bad idea. Sanji thought for a moment, and was about to answer when a loud bang could be heard from the dining area. Sanji and the others went to go check and see what was going on.
The Dining Area-
They immediately noticed that something was off as several marines showed up.
Luffy, despite herself, hid behind Sanji so she wouldn't be seen by the marines and just listened as things took a turn for the strange and confusing,
"Fullbody, sir! The captive escaped!" One of the marines called as Luffy peeked out from behind her hiding place slightly. Suddenly a man appeared behind them looking half-starved and near death, stumbling slightly before finally collapsing.
"Please, give me some food, I don't care if it's table scraps, just please!" he begged slightly. Suddenly Zeff appeared, infront of the man, looking very irritated and asked,
"Do you got money? No money, no food!" he stated simply. The man was about to answer when Luffy and Sanji showed up infront of all of them with a plate full of fruit. Sanji placed the plate infront of the man and simply went back to the others, Luffy following after she swiped another orange for herself. She almost made it when the marine, Fullbody, grabbed her arm. Luffy tried to tug out of it but he wouldn't let go. This caught everyone's attention,
"Wait a minute. Where do you think you're going, eh? Your grandpa's quite worried about you, ya know?" The man stated in a dark tone. Luffy didn't like the man and tried more to wriggle out of his grasp, she was about to pull a cheap shot when Sanji came up from behind the man, visibly irritated, and did it for her, without any care in the world no less.
"How 'bout you keep your mitts off my little sister!" Sanji stated simply, ignoring the man as Luffy came to hiding behind him and sticking her tongue out at the marine. They both knew it was a down right lie, but neither really cared at the moment, as Fullbody had more then just overstepped his bounderies. The marines eeped, taking their leader by the feet and dragging him back to their ship, fully intent on leaving before suffering a similar fate.
"You okay Luffy?" He asked as he looked toward her slightly. She nodded, eyebrows furrowing as she realized that she probably couldn't stay for much longer.
Later-
Luffy walked out of the restaurant with another plate of fruit she had snuck out from the kitchen, with Sanji's help of course. The man still hadn't answered her question on whether he was gonna join her crew or not. She gave a gentle, childish smile as she spotted who she was looking for; the starving man from earlier. She walked up to him and bent down to his level, giving a sweet, childish smile and introduced herself as she placed the plate infront of him,
"Hey, my names Luffy, what's yours?" she asked tilting her head in a very childish manner. The man nodded as he swallowed the fruit he was eating and responded,
"Gin, nice to meet ya I guess." He was silent for a moment before continueing, "I'm just gonna go on a limb here and say you ran away from home when you weren't supposed to." He stated, stuffing an apple down his mouth only to choke on it for a bit, and then swallow it down when Luffy hit him on the back rather hardly.
"Eheheh, yep! I'm gonna by Queen of the Pirates! But to do that, I need a good crew. I already got me a cook, of course he hasn't said yes yet. But he will eventually." she stated with a smile. Gin near choked on his own spit when he hard the Queen of the Pirates part,
"Uh uh! Bad idea. The Grand Line, now that is scary! That is one place you do not want to go, especially at your age! You're eleven years old right?" he asked. Recieving a nod from Luffy he continued, "You won't get to see 12 if you go there." he stated simply, eyes looking miserable as he relived the terrors he faced on his venture there.
"Well I won't know unless I try, now will I?" Luffy asked in bout small bout of wisdom, though common sense seemed to be a bit lacking today. Gin looked at her shocked as Luffy continued, "If I die young, at least I died knowing I tried to reach my dreams, right?" Luffy tilted her head, a gentle smile on her face, causing Gin to almost forget he was talking to an eleven year old. Gin blinked in shock as the apparition of a grown woman with long black hair disappeared, an old memory long since forgotten deciding to suddenly resurface.
"So, do ya want to be part of my crew?" Luffy asked in a tone that suggested that she was actually giving him an option this time around. It made him think that everybody else who had joined her, had not had the same perk at all. Gin shook his head slighlty as Sanji came around the corner.
"Hey! We got a small boat prepared for you to leave. It's ready for whenever you decide to leave." Sanji stated as he stopped behind Luffy, who stood up and ran back inside, giving a small wave as she went to go interrogate Zeff again. Sanji laughed as this would be the fifteeth time in under five minutes that girl would manage to get on the mans nerves.
"Heh, she's a ball of energy isn't she?" He asked as he turned to face the man. Gin nodded slightly before standing up and walking around the man.
"Thanks for the food. And I promise, I won't ever forget the kindness that you and your 'sister' showed me today." he stated as he got aboard the small dingy and set sail.
The Next Day-
Luffy was again sitting in the kitchen while Nami and the others ate in the dining room, Sanji giving her freebe fruits to keep her occupied. He had allowed her to help a little, peeling potatoes inbetween the fruits she was eating, to keep her busy and out of trouble. Suddenly a lot of screaming echoed throughout the restuarant causing everybody to drop what they were doing and run into the dining area.
"What the Hell?" Sanji called as the infamous Don Krieg blew a huge hole only a few feet away from Sanji and the crew. Luffy growled as she recognized an injured Gin, who had a fist shaped impression on the side of his face, and was out cold on the ground. He looked like he had stepped on somebody's badside, and the end result was a good sized punch to the face. Luffy ran forward, not heeding any of her crew's or Sanji's warnings and went into her hybrid form, doing a front flip and clocking the gold clad pirate in the head. He stood back up, albeit a bit wobbly at first, and growled, swinging a fist at Luffy only to miss as she went inside his range of attack and kicked the man in the solar plexus, leaving the man desperately gasping for air as he was sent flying out the doorway and into the ocean.
Luffy didn't spare a second as she took off after him. Nami ran over to the downed Gin and began to treat his wounds as best as she could. The others went outside with Luffy, knowing the girl could and would bite off more then she could, and Sanji and Zoro wanted to see a grown man get pwned by an eleven year old girl not even half his size.
Outside the Baratie-
One of the cooks had released the Fin so that Luffy had something to fight on, though she didn't need it, and was currently facing off against Don Krieg. The battle was cut short when Don Krieg's ship, or what was left of it, got completely cut in half. A man clad in dark clothes riding a coffin like boat sailed in, looking positively bored. Suddenly Zoro jumped down and joined Luffy on the platform, motioning for her to go and wait to beat the crap out the other pirate for a bit with the others. Luffy looked at him a bit before just shrugging and jumping back up and over the railing, stationing herself near Sanji.
The whole fights with Mihawk and the remainder of the battles afterwards are all canon. I'm jsut gonna write the fight between Don Krieg ang Luffy.
Luffy and Don Krieg were now standing apart from each other, Don Krieg in one of the most foulest moods ever in existence. Luffy was more amused then anything else though.
"Shishishishishi! I'll show you who's gonna be the Greatest Pirate ever!" With that Luffy launched herself at the arrogant man, dodging rain after rain of bullets, all of which completely missed their targets as Luffy disappeared five seconds before any could reach her. She kicked Don in the solar plexus once again before going for a cheap shot to the groin, resulting in a near unconcious Don Krieg. Luffy wasn't done yet though, as she pulled out a pair of fans. Since she usally fought hand to hand, it was unknown that Luffy could use weapons.
"Storm Dance!" Luffy called as the two ran at each other. Luffy phased out of existence almost, only to reappear behind Don Krieg. She shut the fans she had pulled out, and with the following snapping of them being shut, Don Krieg hit the floor in a heap of blood. Luffy grinned as she turned around hiding the fans from view yet again, and walked over the bloody mass that was the failed pirate captain.
With Don Krieg down, now Luffy and her new cook only needed to go after their renegade navigator who had taken their ship, and disappeared on them.
A/N. Sorry for the lame ending and battle scenes, but there is a lot of fighting in the canon versions, and I didn't feel like typing them down. Anyway please review and sorry if things got kinda confusing there. See ya!
Luffy: Bye!
