Everyone was completely startled by Zeff's actions then watched as he turned his back on Krieg.

"W-what are you doing?"

"You can't be serious?"

"If all those pirates get their strength back the restaurant will be completely taken over!"

"That would be true, if they still have the will to fight," Zeff admitted. Everyone looked at him in confusion and then he turned and looked at Krieg. "Tell me did your will survive the trip?"

Everyone was completely startled by this statement.

"Can't be."

"The great Commodore Krieg was defeated?"

"Not even he could do it, a pirate fleet with 50 ships couldn't make it on the Grand Line?" Zale stared.

Hiccup just stood there. "Can't say I'm surprised."

Krieg just stood there and stared at Zeff completely oblivious to everything else. "It really is you, isn't it? Your Red Foot Zeff." Zeff just remain quiet confirming Krieg's suspicions. "So, you are alive. The unrivalled pirate captain, who was also the ship's cook."

"Yes, that's right, I'm still alive," Zeff nodded. "But what does this have anything to do with you? I haven't been a pirate from many years now, I chose the life of a cook."

Krieg laughed. "Shows the life of a cook, huh? Yeah, right, you didn't had a choice old man, you live is a cook because the only thing you can be now was a cook." His eyes then turned his wooden leg. "He was known far and wide. Red Foot Zeff was a master of deadly kicks and never used his hands in battle, it was said that with his mighty legs he could crush bedrock to stand and leave footprints on solid steel. Red Foot was referred to his boots which became soaked in the blood of his enemies as he kicked them down. You know really is a pity that you no longer have that precious leg of yours."

He then smiled viciously. "I heard that rumour some time ago. How unlucky for you to have such an accident at sea. Now that you're greatest weapon has been sacrificed to the sea you are defenceless, completely unable to fight."

"I don't need to fight any more," said Zeff plainly. "I'm a cook and so long as I have my two hands for that I'll be just fine. Enough chitchat, let's get to the point, what do you want from me?"

Krieg smiled. "Red Foot, you're the man that sailed the perilous waters of the Grand Line and came back unscathed. Impressive. There should be a logbook detailing your tactics. A full year of your journey there. Give it to me, now!"

Zeff just stood there in silence.

Hiccup looked at Zeff. "So you've been to the Grand Line."

Zeff nodded. "Yeah." He then focuses attention upon Krieg. "My logbook. You're right, I do indeed have a record of my travels, but I will never handed over to you." Krieg was completely taken aback with this comment. "You implement brute, that logbook is sacred to me, it's the pride of the crewmen that I sailed with. It's far too important to give to you."

Krieg looked at him furiously. "All right, I'll take it. Yes, it's true that the Grand Line beat me. Still I will never give up upon it, I am Commodore Krieg, in the end it's just another ocean. I have enough weapons and men and ambition. Regrettably, the only thing that I lacked was information. I just didn't know enough, but now I will fix all that. Once I have your logbook, I will form another pirate fleet and sees the legendary One Piece then I will stand as ruler of this Great Pirate Era!"

Everyone just remained in silence, but Hiccup then stepped forward.

"You truly believe that you stand a chance, but the reality is you have no idea what waiting on the other side of your journey," said Hiccup with a very fixed expression. "And I'm sorry for being the one to tell you this, but I'm going to become King of the Pirates."

Everyone gasped as they stared at him.

"Chore boy?"

Gabriel looked as if he was crazy. "Wait, don't be such an idiot! You better back off, Chore Boy."

"No, not from this," said Hiccup.

Krieg scoffed at him. "Did you say something kid? I will not allow that kind of stupidity again."

"Stupid not, I'm merely stating the facts as they are," said Hiccup plainly.

"This isn't a game."

"I never said it was. I'm going to conquer the Grand Line."

"No you won't!" Krieg yelled furiously. "It's true that we didn't have the information we needed, but my fleet of 5000 then was wiped out in just seven days you brat. That sea is Hell!"

Everyone was completely bewildered upon hearing this.

"What? One week?" Gabriel stared.

"Krieg's ships were wiped out in seven days?" Zale gaped.

"What happened out there?"

"Unfortunately I don't find your smart ass remarks very amusing," said Krieg through gritted teeth. "If you insist on this foolish behaviour, I will crush you right here right now."

Hiccup smiled and took up a fighting position. "Just try it."

"I can and I will," said Krieg doing the same thing. "It would be my pleasure to send you to an early grave you cocky runt."

His shoulder pads then opened up revealing the turrets beneath them and everyone backed away in fear. Krieg's eyes then turned towards Zeff and then Toothless and Snotlout arrived.

"What's going on, Hiccup?" Toothless asked. "Do you need a hand?"

Snotlout smiled as he cracked his knuckles. "I've been wanting to crack some heads for the past few days."

Everyone then immediately looked up at the two of them.

"Hey, guys," said Hiccup casually. "I appreciate the offer, but I think I can handle this clown."

Snotlout snorted. "Fine, but the next fight is my mine you hear."

Krieg laughed. "Are those two guys your crew? That's a pretty small group you've got there, kid."

"I've actually got two others and hoping to get another one by the end of the day," said Hiccup as he looked turned his eyes to Ragnar.

"You're too stubborn for your own good, Hiccup," said Ragnar rolling his eyes.

Krieg then saw the look on Zeff's face which hadn't moved an inch and he immediately lowered his turret. "I'll deal with you later, right now I'm going to feed my men."

He then immediately grabs the bag of food and then looked at everyone present. "Those of you that don't wish to die can leave the restaurant now and escape that fate. The only things that I'm after all the logbook and this ship." He then began to make his way to the door, but then came to a complete stop. "However, if you wish to stay and be slaughtered I have no problem of creating a pyre for every last one of you at sea, know that."

Eventually he left and made his way to his ship.


Meanwhile the twins were still on the Going Tiger, they had stayed behind with Astrid and Fishlegs as Toothless and Snotlout went to investigate the noise.

"It's just got really quiet," said Tuffnut.

"Well, if Toothless is in there then everything should be fine," said Ruffnut assured.

"I know, but what if it's not?"

"Good point." Ruffnut then turned and looked at Astrid and Fishlegs. "Astrid! Fishlegs! Should we go in there too? What do you think?"

However, Astrid and Fishlegs were more focused on one of the wanted posters they had brought with them and they seemed completely oblivious to everything around them.

"You guys okay?" Ruffnut frowned.

Again they just stood there in silence.

"What with the silent treatment?" Ruffnut asked.

Astrid then looked up and turned towards them. "Don't worry, we're fine."

"Is something wrong?" Fishlegs asked as he looked towards them.

The twins just looked at one another in confusion wondering why they were so fixated on one of the wanted posters they brought.


Meanwhile inside the restaurant, Squall just knelt there completely shaken. To make matters worse for him the cooks and started to recover and they weren't best pleased with him for bringing Krieg along.

"I'm so sorry, Ragnar" he said. "I never thought that it would be this way."

"You have nothing to apologise for, sailor," said Zeff. The cooks just stared at him openmouthed. "Every cook in this restaurant did what they thought was right, that's all that needs saying about that."

"But boss… why are you acting as if you're taking Ragnar's side?" Gabriel demanded. "This mess is his fault!"

"He's right, Ragnar is responsible for this whole damn thing!"

"Yeah, boss, that man is going to put your precious restaurant out of business!"

Zeff glared at them all. "You fools don't know what you're talking about! None of you have any idea what it's like to be on the brink of starvation. To have no food and no water on the open ocean, there is no way that you can possibly understand what a terrifying prospect that is. It is the most difficult situation and man could ever face."

Gabriel stared. "What? I don't know what you're talking about, Zeff."

"The difference between all of you and Ragnar is that Ragnar knows," said Zeff plainly.

All the cooks looked at one another wondering what he meant by that.

Zeff then smirked. "If all you're going to do is stand around grumbling then leave this place and never come back."

Gabriel clenched his fist which was holding a harpoon. "I for one am going to stay and fight. I couldn't live with myself if I accepted defeat."

"I'm staying too! After all this is our restaurant, isn't it?"

"That's right and this place is all I've got too."

All the chefs nodded and began picking up a weapon and were determined to fight, despite knowing who they were fighting against.

Squall looked at them as if they were crazy. "What are you doing? You saw how powerful Krieg is, right?"

"Hey, Squall," said Ragnar as he approached him. "Listen up, because I'm only going to say this once. Feeding someone who is hungry is my moral duty, but…" He then bent down to the secret compartment and pulled out a gun holster which had a couple of pistols in it and strapped around his waist. "Now that your crew is well fed, I have no obligation to them. With a clean conscience I can now beat every last one of them to a bloodied pulp, if anyone tries to take the restaurant then their dead. I will kill them without a moment's hesitation. Got that?"

Squall gulped.

"Your real headcase, Ragnar," Gabriel huffed. "Letting him live and then threatening to kill him?"

Ragnar raised an eyebrow. "Says the man who pulled keeps a bazooka in a restaurant."

Hiccup looked at Toothless and Sontlout. "What did I tell you?"

"Never mind him, what are we going to do?" Snotlout asked.

"We are up against Krieg, even though he is in pretty bad shape," Toothless pointed out.

Hiccup looked at Squall. "Hey, Squall, you said that you knew nothing about the Grand Line, but I thought that you've been there? And even if you were to the best of my knowledge, the only way he could return to the East Blue is by crossing the Red Line and there's no way you could do that within a week."

Everyone then immediately turned and looked at Squall. "Nothing makes any sense now," he said. "What happened to us on the seventh day of our journey through that curse at sea, I don't know if it was a dream or reality? I saw things that I cannot bring myself to believe, I know in my heart that it is impossible for that entire 50 ship fleet to be completely eradicated by a single man."

The cooks immediately panicked everyone looked at him in disbelief.

"It all happened so fast, as soon as this man appears he began to systematically sink our ships one after the other. If that raging storm had not come upon us when it did, then that monster would have destroyed our flagship as well. I don't know of a single other ship made it out, it all seems like a terrible nightmare burnt into my memory. I just want to forget, his eyes they would like a hawks, sharp and murderous. His gaze alone felt like the cold hand of death."

Toothless immediately looked up, because he knew the description of those either all too well. 'What did he just say?'

"Well then that can only be the one known as Hawkeye," said Zeff folding his arms.

"What?" Squall blinked.

"Your description of his heartless gaze, is proof of his identity by itself, but the way he so easily decimated your fleet confirms there without a doubt that it is him."

Toothless just stood there shaking. "Hawkeye."

Hiccup looked at him. "He is known as the world's greatest swordsman, isn't he?"

Toothless nodded. "Yes, every swordsman knows that name and he's the man I've been searching for. Hawkeye is the sole reason I set out to sea."

"Could that man had some sort of score to settle with you guys?" Ragnar asked curiously.

"We didn't do anything to him," said Squall.

"Perhaps you disturbed him during a nap," Zeff suggested.

"Stupid cook? Why would he destroy an entire fleet something so trivial?" Squall yelled at the top of his voice.

Zeff merely smirked. "There's no reason to shout, it's just an example. I thought that you might want some friendly advice on what kind of a place the Grand Line is."

"And what kind of place is that?" Snotlout asked.

"He probably means that anything could happen in there," Toothless concluded.

Snotlout gulped. "Do we really have to go there?"

Hiccup smiled. "I know some of the things we might expect, I was partially raised on the Grand Line after all."

Squall looked up. "You were?"

"It's a long story," said Hiccup rubbing the back of his head.

"Either way my life's goal will be achieved on the Grand Line," said Toothless plainly. "My rival is out there somewhere and I'm going to find him."

Ragnar looked up at him. "I don't know whether you're brave or stupid, you can't just go into a fight carelessly especially not against an opponent this powerful."

"True, but I devoted my entire life to becoming the world's greatest swordsman," said Toothless folding his arms. "I made my choice and nothing is going to change my decision."

Ragnar shrugged and looked at Hiccup. "Interesting crewmate you've got."

Hiccup shrugged. "It may be a bit crazy and stupid, but nothing is going to stop my dream."

Zeff merely smiled.

"Enough!" Gabriel roared. "Do any of you maggots understand the current situation? That enormous galleon moored in front of our dear little restaurant is none other than Commodore Krieg's flagship! So why don't we check back into reality and deal with this?"


On the galleon, Krieg had finally reached the deck and is handed out the food he was given all the members of his crew. They then immediately began to scoff down the food as if they were possessed and soon all them were back to full strength.

Krieg sat there smiling at his crew cheered for their survival. "That's right and I'm glad that you all made it, because I'm going to need a healthy crew to go back to the Grand Line."

Immediately all the men stopped cheering instead of their Captain, because they had no desire to go back to the Grand Line any time soon or if ever.

Krieg could sense the uneasiness. "Hey, why the long faces?"

"Sir, why are we going back there?"

Krieg looked at him and then shot the man with his pistol. "Point taken. Are there any other objections?"

Upon seen there's the entire crew became enthusiastic about going back to the Grand Line. Krieg then immediately rose to his feet and looked at his men squarely in the eyes.

"First of all we need to take that floating restaurant," he said pointing to the restaurant below them. "Then we can abandon the wreck we are currently on before it falls apart. Don't worry about the enemy, they're just a bunch of prissy cooks, it won't take much to crush them."

However, unbeknownst to them sailing towards someone a small boat was a drake with black scales that matched Toothless'. The only difference was that his eyes were bright yellow instead of green.

Krieg was unaware of this and look to his men. "Attack!"

Immediately all of the crew grabbed a weapon and immediately rushed towards the side of the ship ready to board the restaurant.


Inside the restaurant everyone could hear the cries of the pirates and all of them clutch their weapons firmly in hand.

"Hear that? They're going to be here soon!"

"The restaurant is ours and I will fight to the death to keep it that way!"

The pirates were abseiling off the ship, but before they could reach the restaurant they heard something that sounded as if something was slicing through the wind. Then suddenly the galleon was split apart right down the middle in three different parts. The pirates immediately clung onto the ship was launched into the air due to the impact of whatever sliced through it.

Everyone in the restaurant just stared openmouthed at the site of the galleon literally being cut apart from the seams.

"I don't believe it," Hiccup stared.

"What's going on?" Krieg yelled at the top of his voice.

"Krieg, the main ship was cut!" a pirate yelled before he slipped into the ocean.

"It was cut?" Krieg roared. "What do you mean cut? Something sliced off this galleon? No way, it can't be that's impossible!"

Unfortunately, it was in the galleon soon landed in the water causing massive ripples in the sea shaking the restaurant. Everyone inside grabbed hold of anything that was nailed down to the floor.

"Raise the anchor!" Zeff yelled. "Or we'll sink along with them!"

"Yes, sir!" a cook yelled and immediately rushed out of the restaurant.

Hiccup immediately rushed out of the restaurant as quickly as he could.

Toothless looked up. "Wait, Astrid and the others are still on our ship out there!"

"I hope it's not too late," said Snotlout as he and Toothless rushed outside.

When they got outside they saw Krieg's flagship sinking into the sea, but then they saw the twins swimming towards them with frantic look on their faces.

"Hey, guys!" Ruffnut yelled.

"Ruff? Tuff?" Hiccup stared as he looked over the side. "Are you okay?"

Toothless notice they were short one ship. "What happened to the ship? Where is Astrid and Fishlegs? Are they okay?"

"I'm sorry, Toothless, I don't know how to say it, but they're gone," said Tuffnut.

"Then I'll tell them, Astrid and Fishlegs took off with all the treasure and sailed away!" Ruffnut yelled.

"They did what?" the three of them yelled.

Zeff then made his way onto the deck and he could see something sailing towards them through the mist. It was a small boat with cream lit candles on either side of the boat and sitting there was a middle-aged Drake immediately recognised him.

"That man is…"

Toothless looked up and turned towards the Drake sailing towards them and he too recognised him.

Krieg had somehow managed to grab hold of the railings on his galleon, which prevented him from falling into the water. His eyes immediately widened upon seen the Drake sailing through the wreckage of his ship.

"No, that bastard!" he gasped in horror. "He followed us back."

Toothless just stood there shaking. "It's him… he's here… Hawkeye."
