Krieg Pirate: Gin
Everyone turned to a man at the entrance now.
He was a skinny young man wearing a grey jacket with snakes on it, black shirt, and grey pants.
The man obviously seemed to haven't ate in weeks.
"Here comes another customer," Pati said.
"I hope he doesn't disturb my restaurant," Zeff said.
"A pirate?" Luffy asked.
Sanji took out the cigarette from his mouth and blew out smoke.
The man walked into the restaurant and took a seat at one of the tables.
"Just go and get me something to eat!" the man ordered, "This is a restaurant, right?"
Pati was the first to greet the man.
"Welcome to our restaurant, sir," Pati greeted with a grin.
"What did he say?" a customer askemd.
"I'll say it again, so you'd better listen," the man said, "I am the customer. Get me some food now!"
"That chef will die ..." Fullbody said.
"I"m most sorry idiot, but do you have any money?" Pati asked.
The man aimed a pistol at Pati's head.
"Do you want me to pay with a bullet? Because I don't have any money," the man threatened Pati.
That did faze Pati ... in fact, Pati punched the man as well as smashed the chair the man was sitting in.
Everyone was surprise to see it, but celebrated.
"What's this?" Fullbody asked.
"Pati! You broke one of my chairs!" Zeff complained.
"What power!" Luffy responded.
"If you don't have any money, then you're not a customer!" Pati told the man.
Pati earned more cheers from the customers and other chefs.
There was a strange noise coming from the man.
"Ho! Your stomach is crying loudly," Pati joked.
"I just farted idiot," the man said, "Now get me some food!."
"Get out! You are not a customer!" Pati yelled as he kicked the man, "This restaurant welcomes paying customers! A poor pirate like you ... I won't even give you a crumb!"
Sanji seem to disagree with Pati without saying anything.
Fullboody decided to let Pati deal with the man get him later.
Basically, Fullbody left the restaurant.
"Everyone! Please continue dining!" Pati ordered.
...
The man manage to crawl outside the restaurant.
After starving for days, and then being beaten up, he didn't have the energy to get up and actually leave the decks.
Suddenly someone placed a plate of rice next to the man.
The man look up to see it was Sanji.
"Here! Have this!" Snaji told the man.
The man manage to sit up and ate the plate of rice.
"I don't want to be a shame but ... this is the most delicious rice I have ever had in my whole life," the man cried as he ate, "I should not be ashame ... I don't want to be a shame but ... I thought that I wouldn't survive!"
"It's really delicious, right?" Sanji asked with a smile.
...
Luffy was watching the whole thing since Sanji left the restaurant with a plate of rice.
"I found a good chef!" Luffy said with a huge grin.
Sanji and the man look to see it was Luffy.
"Oh it's you," Sanji said.
"Hey chef! WOuld you like to join my pirate crew?" Luffy asked.
"What?" Sanji asked.
"I'm a pirate and I'm looking for a chef," Luffy explained, "If you join, I can teach you something cool and useful."
"So, you're a pirate? Why did you fire the cannon at us?" Sanji asked.
"It was an accident caused by self defense," Luffy replied.
"Say what?" the man asked.
"Listen. Don't do anything stupid here. The head chef once was a very famous pirate," Sanji told Luffy.
"Really? I figured he was immune to Haki, but I didn't think he was a pirate," Luffy said.
"For that old man. This restaurant is his treasure," Sanji explained, "Besides, every chef here used to be a cold-blooded pirate, and pirates are our major customers."
"No wonder the restaurant is in chaos," Luffy said.
"That's usual. Some of our guest come here to see our chefs fight pirates. We don't have any waiters because they ran away from the chaos," Sanji finished.
"I guess that makes sense," Luffy responded.
"Um ... you mentioned Haki ... what is that?" the man asked.
"It's hard to say ..." Luffy said.
"It's a power born from will power. It has many uses, including sensing out attacks and create armor," Sanji explained, "But the strongest Haki users can do a lot more."
"That's right! How did you knwo?" Luffy asked.
"Head Chef told me stories of Haki users," Sanji said.
"Oh ..." Luffy responded, "Well I been teaching most of my crewmembers how to use Haki. Although I won't be able to leave for a year, if you join my crew, I can teach you how to use it."
"Sorry, but I have a reason to stay here," Sanji told Luffy.
"Too bad, I already decided," Luffy responded, "You're a very good chef, and I want you."
"Do you even listen?" Sanji asked.
"It depends," Luffy said.
"Excuse me!" the man called.
"What?" Luffy and Sanji asked.
"My name is gin, and I work for the Krieg Pirates," the pirate name Gin explained, "You're a pirate, right? What's your goal?"
"My goal is to one day be the greatest Haki User ever and become King of the Pirate!" Luffy explained, "And to do so, I'm going to the Grand Line and search for One Piece!"
"You said that you're looking for a chef. I guess you don't have many members, right?" Gin asked.
"Now I have 5 people," Luffy said as he pointed at Sanji, "Including him."
"WHo told you to count me in as a member?" Sanji yelled.
"You aren't a bad person, so I'll warn you about something," Gin told Luffy, "Don't go to the Grand Line. You're still young, so don't waste your life there."
"Huh?" Luffy responded.
"The Grand Line is just some part of the ocean. If you want to become a pirate, you can always go to other places," Gin told Luffy.
"Do you know something about the Grand Line?" Luffy asked.
"No, I don't know a thing about that place," Gin replied, "That's why I'm so afraid."
"Why are the Krieg Pirates wimps?" Sanji asked.
"Krieg what?" Luffy asked.
...
In Baratie's Kitchen, the chefs were working hard on cooking.
"Aren't you worried Pati?" a chef asked Pati.
"Worried about what?" Pati asked.
"The pirate you beat up belongs to the Krieg Pirates, right?" the chef asked.
"That's what he said," Pati replied.
"Don Krieg is the most powerful and scariest pirate in the East Blue," the chef explained.
"That's righ! He's a pirate tropp with 50 pirate ships," another chef said, "He is a real monster."
"So what?" Pati asked.
"I've heard that they are stronger than 5000 people," the second chef explained, "If that pirate goes back and tells Don Krieg about what happened here., this restaurant could be destroyed. Like an elephant crushing a tiny bug."
"Ho! So, do you want me to apologize and give him food?" Pati asked, "Idiot! That will be very rude to other customers. Baratie restaurant will deteriorate! Have you realized how many pirates we've fought? If you're afraid, why don't you just quit?"
"What? I see! All the waiters quit because of you Pati!" the second chef yelled, "You make a big mess in our restaurant."
"I don't want a coward to stay here!" Pati yelled.
Zeff came in and heard the arguments.
"Shut up and work!" Zeff yelled.
"Yes Head Chef!" all the chefs yelled.
...
Gin was given a small boat to leave from.
"I gotta go now," Gin said, "But I warned you ..."
"Warn me all you want, I'm still going to the Grand Line!" Luffy said.
"Don't say I didn't warn you!" Gin laughed.
Luffy thought of something.
"Hey Gin! Have you been a pirate for over 3 years?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah!" Gin responded.
"Have you ran into a pirate name Portgas D. Ace?" Luffy asked.
"Portgas D. Ace? You mean Fire-Fist Ace?" Gin asked.
"Portgas D. Ace ..." Sanji said.
"You heard of him?" Luffy asked.
"I heard stories of a man like that, but I never met someone like that," Gin said, "Why are you want to know if I met him?"
"Because, Ace is my big brother," Luffy replied.
"What?" Gin asked.
"Ace left to become a pirate before me 3 years ago, and I haven't seen him since," Luffy explained.
"You're an interesting kid," Gin said, "If I do see your big brother, I'll be sure to tell him I met you."
"Okay, thanks!" Luffy thanked him.
"Thank you for the food Sanji," Gin thanked Sanji, "It was really good."
"No problem," Sanji replied.
Gin sailed off.
"Hey! Your brother ... does he wear a cowboy hat that has two faces on it: one smiling, and one frowning?" Sanji asked.
"Yeah, that's Ace!" Luffy replied, "You seen him?"
"I was fortunate enough to serve someone like that once 3 years ago," Sanji said.
"Really? Was he going to the Grand Line?" Luffy asked.
"I'm not quite sure ... I don't pay much attention to the male customers I served unless I want to get to know them or if they waste the food I make," Sanji replied, "But he did warned me about a pirate he knew..."
"Huh?" Luffy responded.
...Flashback...
Sanji was serving a man his food.
"Hey! I should warn you. 3 years from now, a young man might come here forming a pirate crew," Ace said.
"That's nothing new to us. We get pirates everyday," Sanji said.
"Yeah, but this one is possibly one of the biggest idiots you met," Ace said, "He'll be wearing a Straw Hat, and he likes to fight. But when he fights, he causes more damages than anything."
"Again, nothing new," Sanji told Ace.
"Very well ... but don't say I didn't warn you," Ace said.
...End of Flashback...
"If I knew what he was saying would come true, I would of told Head Chef Zeff a long time ago," Sanji said.
"So Ace ate here ..." Luffy said
"Are you even listening?" Sanji asked.
...
Zeff overheard everything and wasn't fazed.
"Hey kids!" Zeff yelled.
Sanji and Luffy look to see it was Zeff.
"Get back to work you two!" Zeff ordered Luffy and Sanji.
"Right," Sanji responded.
"Oh man ... I almost forgot that I'll be working here for a year," Luffy complained.
