Sorry this chapter was late, I really am. There is two reasons why this is late. One I was lazy and didn't really feel like writing at all. Two, this was a busy week at school for me. I had an exam and multiple 100-point projects were due. So you have my apologies. Now let us get on with the chapter.

I left back for the table with the others after Lucy and Sanji were caught lazing around outside. When I got back food was already at the table.

"You didn't bother to get me anything." I said in a fake depressed tone.

"You spent an awful amount of time there?" Nami said to my return.

"I'm flattered that you were so worried about how long I was out there." I said with a smile. "But seriously, I got into a conversation with a chef along with Lucy. Oh, and she has to stay here for one year." I tried hard not to laugh my ass off when I said the last part.

Nami and Usopp both gasped in shock at the last part but Zoro just laughed at it. "She's such an idiot." Zoro says chuckling.

"The head chef here is really strict isn't he?" Nami said.

"So what are we going to do in the meantime while she is here?" Usopp says.

"I'm just here for the ride so you guys can have fun figuring it out." I said leaning back in my chair.

"I guess I will become captain then." Zoro said with a smirk.

The next few minutes no one said anything and they ate in silence while I just laid back in my chair. Finally out "waiter" err… waitress (Even after three years I'm still not used to it). "You!" Lucy said in surprise. I sit in my chair normally and look at Lucy. I was unfortunate to sit right next to where she is standing.

"Oi, what's wrong August?" Usopp said.

I had gotten a massive nosebleed from what our waitress was wearing. She was generally wearing her normal clothes, the red button-up shirt and her blue shorts with sandals. But instead she was wearing her button-up shirt with the top buttons not attached to fully expose her breasts. Now they weren't massive breasts like time-skip Nami and Robin, however they are indeed big. Her shorts which went to her knees were replaced by the same look of the shorts but instead they went to halfway to her thighs giving a few of her skinny legs. To go along with that she wore a maid-like apron which still gave a view of her cleavage.

I had to grab my napkin to stop the stream of blood coming from nose. 'I should've expected this. This is supposed to be a European like restaurant maybe even french based dare I say. I don't really know. It's been so long anyway.' "I'm alright." I muffle out from the napkin.

"What's up 'waitress.'" Nami said turning to Lucy not saying a word about my predicament.

"I heard that you have to work here for one year." Usopp said no longer with the shock he had from my nosebleed.

"Can I change our pirate flag?" Zoro snickered also ignoring what happened to me.

"You're comfortably sitting and enjoying food while I'm suffering." Lucy yelled at us. "Don't you think it is unfair!?"

"Take this snot." She said muttering.

"Unfair, but we have our own rights." He said turned in the other direction.

"That's true." Usopp said holding back his laughter. Nami is also doing the same, and I am trying to stop the nosebleed in a rush.

"This restaurant is very good." Zoro said grabbing the booger water, "It seems unfair to you…"

"But why don't you drink it yourself?!" Zoro shoving the drink down Lucy's throat. Lucy falls to the ground on her back and starts flailing around and clutching her throat. "What are you doing!?" she says from the ground.

"What about you? What the hell are you doing?" said Zoro.

Both Nami and Usopp were laughing their asses off. I sat there about to pass out from lack of oxygen because of the napkin forcing back anything into my nose.

"Fucking hell. Of course I had to get a nosebleed at that time. I was about to die from holding back laughter and blood." I yell after I finish. 'At least the laughter emptied all of the blood' I thought.

"If you weren't a pervert maybe that wouldn't of happened." Zoro said sitting back down angry from Lucy.

"Oh! Thank God I've met you today. Oh Love! You can just laugh at me." said the love cook rushing over from the table he was just serving. "As long as you are with me, I can become a pirate or an evil-being. Oh, but our destiny is so doomed!"

"Is that because of me?" said the head-cook.

"Old man?!" Sanji responded.

"This is a good chance. You just become a pirate." the chef retorted. "We don't need you here anymore."

Oi, old man." Sanji said after the words sunk in. "I am the second chef of this restaurant. You told me that this restaurant doesn't want me anymore. What do you mean?"

"You always fight with customers." the head cook said. "And whenever you see beautiful women, you always flirt with them."

"Your food is not that good. You will drag this restaurant down. Everyone here doesn't like you, and I think you know that." he continued. "Therefore you need to leave and become a pirate or whatever. The best thing is that you'd leave this restaurant as soon as possible."

"What are you talking about?! You think that I am not upset with this crazy old man!" Sanji yelled at the chef, Zeff was his name right (I am bad with names), "For whatever reason, you despise my food! Anyway I won't leave here even if you told me to!" Sanji grabbed Zeff's collar.

"You dare hold my collar little brat!" Zeff flips him into our table. Miraculously we all grabbed our food. Strangely no one said anything about Zoro carrying a dish on his head. 'Wasn't he originally meant for Buggy's crew if I'm correct? I wonder why Oda changed his allegiance.'

"Dammit!" Sanji said on the ground.

"Bah" Zeff says walking away. "Listen. I don't care how many times you tell me to leave this place. But I will be a chef here forever!" Sanji yelled getting back up. "You got a problem with that!? I will stay here until you die!"

"I won't die, for 100 years." Zeff said hardly reacting from what Sanji said.

"Watch your words."

"That's good, you got permission from the owner. Now you can join my crew." Lucy said out of the blue suddenly next to Sanji.

"Did you not here what I said." Sanji said.

"I am so sorry for the mess. As an apology, I've come with a fruit in macedonia along with some Gran Mane wine." Sanji said turning his attention back to Nami.

"Ah." Nami said happily clasping her hand together. "That's very kind."

"That's okay ma'am."

"Hey!" both Usopp and me say simultaneously.

"How bout us?" Usopp said walking up to Sanji. "This is unfair, gallant chef."

"You've ordered a hot tea, and you're still unsatisfied?" Sanji retorted out of his lovey-dovey mood.

"What? You want to fight? Beat him up Zoro!" Usopp commanded.

"Do it yourself." Zoro said sweat-dropping.

"This is delicious." Nami said enjoying Sanji's dish. Lucy was slowing coming in to steal some of it.

Usopp and Sanji got into a fight about Sanji's "gallantness."

"Oi, Nami don't you think you are enjoying this a little too much?" I said to her.

"Not at all. I think I am going to try and get free food as well." she said almost whispering to me mischievously.

"So are you going to get free food for all of us or only you?" knowing fully well what her answer was, I tried to convince her to get free food for all of us.

"Why should I do that? Besides you aren't even with us." she said almost knowing what was coming.

"I don't have any money. I used it all up for food before I got captured." I say, "You should do it because do you really want to deal with all these chefs when they learn that we have hardly any money?"

"You guys can deal with that." she responded.

"And they will suddenly ignore you when that happens, I'm also sure that your other crew members might bring you up when that happens."

"Uh, fine. I'll do it." she said not bothering to continue. "I have to stop their fighting. Would you stop fighting for me!" she said turning to them and putting on a pout.

"Yes ma'am." Sanji said immediately.

"Who will do that for you!?" Usopp yells.
"I mean I would, depending on how I feel." I mutter to myself. 'Shit I didn't mean to say that. At least no one heard that,' Zoro gives a look at me, 'And maybe not' I thought

"By the way mister chef." Nami says.

"Yes ma'am." Sanji has a perverted look on his face.

"The food here is quite expensive for me, so…" She says to him.

"Don't worry. It's on the house for you."

"I am so happy. Thank you very much." Nami says hugging him. Sanji looks as if it was the best day of his life.

"But you still have to pay." Sanji says looking at the rest of us at the table.

"Oi, Nami remember what you said?" I question her.

"Yes I remember, I will get to that."

"This tea is good." Lucy says stealing Usopp's hot tea.

"You are very tricky." Zoro says sweat-dropping.

"You'd better be careful with me." Nami said giving her mischievous look. Sanji walks away all smug and happy going over to help a couple of girls who just entered.

"OI! Where is the new waiter!" a chef yells from upstairs.

A chef who is serving a table spots Lucy and yells at her to go back to work. Lucy gets up almost immediately and runs back to the kitchen with so little as a "See you guys!"
