Zeff and Sanji

Fullbody and his date were now in the Baratie as a customer.

Thanks to Fullbody's actions, no one expected that he had a roll in the cannonball hitting the restaurant.

The customers were talking about Fullbody eating at the restaurant.

"Amazing! You're the center of the attention," the woman said.

"Oh please, I'm sure they're all looking at you," Fullbody told her.

He tested the wine in his glass by sniffing and drinking it at it.

"Mm! This delicate scent! It must be from Micqueot of the northern lands!" Fullbody said, "And this slight sourness mix with a thick dry taste ... this winme must be ... Itelzbulger Stein!"

Then he turned to the waiter.

"Am I wrong waiter?" Fullbody asked.

The waiter was a 19 year old man, with blonde hair the covered on of his eyes, and a curly eyebraw, wearing suite with a tie, and had a lit cigarette in his mouth.

"Not even close, sir," the waiter said, "Oh and by the way, I'm actually the assistant head Chef: Sanji. I'm only temporarily filling in for the waters who all ran away yesterday."

The man known as Sanji placed Fullbody's and the woman's order of soup on the table.

"Here's your soup, sir," Sanji told them, "Please enjoy it while it's still hot!"

Some of the other customers laughed, which upset Fullbody.

"Are you very knowledgable about wine?" the woman asked.

"Yes ... but I think my tongue's a little off today for some reason," Fullbody said as he thought, "What the heck is going on? I specifically asked the owner to bring out that wine for me."

...

The other chefs were bringing Luffy to the head chef.

The head chef was an old man wearing chef clothes, and had a peg leg.

The head chef was also slightly injured by the cannonball that hit the section of the restaurant he was in.

"Head chef Zeff, sir! We brought in the one responsible for this!" one chef told the head chef name Zeff.

"I'm sorry sir," Luffy responded.

Luffy then noticed that Zeff had a peg leg.

"You lost your foot because of me!" Luffy cried.

"No! Your attack didn't cost me my foot," Zeff said, "I lost my foot a long time ago."

"Oh," Luffy responded.

"But I am still injured thanks to you. and my restaurant was damaged," Zeff said, "You're going to have to pay for the damages."

"Um ... well ... I don't think I have the money," Luffy said as he thought, "And I don't think Nami will give me any of hers."

"In that case, you'll have to work it off here in my restaurant!" Zeff told Luffy.

"Sure thing!" Luffy agreed.

"You'll work odd jobs around my restaurant without pay for a full year!" Zeff told Luffy, "Only after a year of servitude you'll be paid off."

"A year?" Luffy complained.

...Going Merry...

"Luffy's sure taking awhile ... you don't think they'll force him to work here for like a month or something, do you?" Zoro asked.

"He should just explain that it was all the marine's fault. That idiot's too honest for his own good," Nami respondded.

"Hey! Let's go in and see him! We could get some food while we're at it!" Usopp suggested.

...In the Restaurant...

"Oh waiter!" Fullbody called for Sanji.

"I told you I'm not a waiter!" Sanji scolded Fullbody.

Sanji look at the woman with Fullbody and seem to grew an interest to her.

"My, my. what a beautiful lady we have here," Sanji flirted to the lady.

"Huh?"" the lady responded.

"A pleasure to meet you, miss. How about you and I share a glass of wine over there," Sanji flirted, "Our wine selectors is excellent."

"Well..." the lady said.

"Hey!" Fullbody interrupted as he pointed at his soup, "Is it customary for this restaurant to serve it's soup with insects?"

"Insect?" Sanji asking looking to see an insect in Fullbody's soup.

"I put this bug in the soup myself ... this is what you get for embarrassing me earlier! I'm gonna ruin this restaurant's reputation," Fullbody thought as he asked, "What is this bug doing in my soup?"

"Pardon me sir ... but I'm afraid I do not know," Sanji replied in a humorous way, "I'm not very knowledgable about the many types of insects, you see..."

Everyone in the restaurant laugh at Fullbody.

Fullbody punched the table so hard that he broke it.

"Seems like you have no idea who you're dealing with..." Fullbody threatened Sanji.

Sanji was staring at the spilt food on the floor, and wasn't too happy either.

"I take it, you've already finished eating," Sanji said.

"What? I am the guest and I am paying to eat here!" Fullbody yelled, "You're just a chef! How dare you make fun of me!"

"Stop Fullbody! Please forgive him!" the woman begged.

"You can eat money!" Sanji told Fullbody.

The other chefs begged Sanji to stop.

Sanji kicked Fullbody in the face with so much force that that Fullbody seemed to be thrown into the ground.

Sanji grabbed Fullbody by the chin-neck area and held him high.

"Remember this! Whoever messes with a chef in the middle of the sea, that person has committed suicide," Sanji told Fullbody, "Food is not something you can play with!"

...

Luffy was still negotiating with Zeff.

"One week is enough!" Luffy told Zeff.

"You destroyed my restaurant and hurt me," Zeff responded, "You really think one week is enough?"

"I been wanting to be a pirate for 10 years. During that time, I lost a brother who wanted to be a pirate, and I saw my other brother leave my home town to become one. I sworn to both of them that I would become a pirate and follow my dreams," Luffy said, "I will work here for a year."

"Don't give me your sob story!" Zeff yelled as he kicked Luffy, "I don't care what you went thorugh to become a pirate! You will work here for a year!"

'"That was a strong kick," Luffy responded, "Are you sure you're hurt?"

"Listen kid! If you don't want to waste your time here, I'll tell you how to end this situation the fastest way," Zeff told Luffy.

"Really?" Luffy asked.

"All you have to do is cut off one of your legs," Zeff said as he held up a saw.

"What? No way!" Luffy responded, "I'm not going to cut off my leg, and I'm not going to work for a year!"

"You don't have much of a choice!" Zeff yelled.

L

Zeff jumped in the air as Luffy summoned Haki in a form of armor.

However, Zeff give Luffy a pwoerful drop kick that it didn't seem affected by the Haki.

The force cause the floor to break through.

Luffy and Zeff fell through the hole.

...

A tall and muscular man was in the restaurant's restroom practicing his greetings to the customers.

They were suppose to be friendly greetings but they weren't that well friendly as some of them came with insults.

Apparently his motto is 'Customers are gods'.

The chef left the restroom.

"Okay! That was a very soft tone," the chef said, "Today, I have to treat them nicely. Customers are gods."

The chef came into the dinning area of the ship and saw Sanji holding up Fullbody.

"What is this? A customer?!" the chef yelled, "It's you again, Sanji! WHat did you do to our customer? Wait! Isn't that the Lieutenant of the Marines?"

Sanji look to see it was the chef.

"Oh ... It's you Pati. Don't call my name like that," Sanji told the chef known as Pati.

"A restaurant has to welcome customers! They don't hurt them!" Pati yelled, "What's your reason for hurting them this time!"

"He is a customer. So what?" Sanji asked, "He just insulted the chef by playing with his food. I just taught him a lesson."

Snnji dropped Fullbody to argue with Pati.

This gave Fullbody time to recover.

"What the hell? What kind of restaurant treats its customers this way?" Fullbody asked, "I will destroy this place! I will tell the government to shut this place down!"

"You want to shut us down?" Sanji asked, "I can't let you live now."

"What did you say?" Fullbody asked.

"Stop this, assistant chef!" one of the other chefs yelled.

The chefs treied to stop Sanji from attacking Fullbody.

That's when Luffy and Zeff broke through the ceiling of the room and crashed into the floor below.

"What just happened?" Luffy asked.

Zeff look up and saw the hole in the ceiling.

"You broke a hole through my ceiling!" Zeff yelled.

"You were the one who broke through my haki-armor and kick me!" Luffy yelled, "That was your fault!"

"Haki-armor? You're a Haki user?" Zeff asked.

"Head Chef! Can you stop Sanji!" one of the other chefs yelled.

Zeff turned to see that the chefs were trying to stop Sanji.

"Are you causing trouble again, Sanji?" Zeff asked.

"Shut up old man," Sanji responded.

"Yes bass. He has hurt Mr. Octopus head ... our customer!" Pati said as he was referring to Fullbody.

"Do you want to destroy my restaurant?" Zeff asked as he kicked Sanji.

Luffy look at Fullbody.

"Hey! Aren't you the one who fired the cannonball I deflected here by accident?" Luffy asked.

That got Zeff's attention.

"Get out of my restaurant!" Zeff yelled as he kicked Fullbody.

"E...even the owner? Who do they think they are? Didn't they realize how powerful I am?" Fullbody thought, "The people here are no different from pirates."

"Listen! Customers are our gods!" Pati argued.

"Only our customers can eat your food, right?" Sanji asked.

"Pati! Sanji! If you two want to fight, just go back to the kitchen!" Zeff ordered.

"Are these people really chefs?" Fullbody wondered.

Suddenly a marine came barging in.

"Lieutenant Fullbody! It's an emergency!" a marine yelled, "The captive from the Krieg Pirates we captured earlier today has escape."

"What a busy place," Luffy said.

"That's crazy! How can he have any strength left?" Fullbody responded, "When we caught him 3 days ago, he was close to death, and we have not fed him since!"

The customers started panicking for their lives.

Suddenly the marine officer that warned Fullbody was shot.

Someone was behind the officer outside.
