Woohoo! More reviews! On the note on Ado's name, the whole Mikan thing is a coincidence, though there is some meaning behind his name...you'll have to think hard though. Anyway, here's the next chapter, be sure to enjoy it!

"Man, I'm starting to get sick of potatoes." Said Ado as he munched on one. It had been quite a few days since we saw them, the sun was now shining brightly and seagulls where about. "That's it! The next crew member I'm getting is going to be a chef!"

"Idiot, it doesn't matter if we have a Chef if there's no other ingredients than potatoes, we'd still just eat the same thing." Said Vega, also finishing up a potato.

"Then when we get one, we'll ask them to bring some food with them." Answered Ado.

"Even if we did that, we still wouldn't have something to cook it on." Responded Vega.

"Hmph, aren't you a negative thinker. Speaking of which, how much potatoes we got left?" Asked Ado, who was just finishing the last bites of his own potato.

Vega looked in both barrels, then double checked, then turned to Ado and said to him bluntly. "One."

"Just One?" Asked Ado in shock. "Let me see." He then looked to where Vega was and looked into the barrel. Indeed, there was only one, lone potato.

"So, what do we do now, captain?" Asked Vega.

"Well," Said Ado, pondering, "I suppose the logical thing to do would be to divide it evenly amongst ourselves and GIVE ME THE DAMN POTATO!" He yelled as he dove his hand and reached for the potato, but Vega grabbed his hand and prevented it from reaching it.

"Idiot, what do you think your doing?!" Said Ado.

"Isn't obvious? I ain't gonna let you have the last one!" Said Vega as he reached for it with his other hand, but Ado grabbed that one with his free hand.

"Of course I should get it, it's only logical because I'm the captain!" Said Ado as he struggled to reach the potato.

"Idiot, didn't I tell you I would continue to try and defeat you even though I joined your crew?" Said Vega as he too tried to break free of Ado's grasp.

This struggle of sorts went for a few minutes, until finally Ado broke free of Vega's grasp and snatched the potato away.

"Haha! Victory is mine!" Said Ado, holding the potato high in the air as a sign of victory. "It just goes to show that I, The Captain, Nakim D. Ado, will always come out on top!" Just then, a bird swooped down and grabbed the potato with it's talons, and flew away with it.

"....A bird took it..." Said Vega.

"What?!" Said Ado is he looked in his empty hand and then saw the bird flying away. "HEY! COME BACK WITH THAT! IT'S MINE!" He screamed at the bird.

"My goodness....Said Vega, putting his hand on his face.

"Hey Vega, this is starting to get bad." Said Ado, as he and Vega were lying about on the small ship, with hungry and tired looks on their faces.

"Why do you say that?" Asked Vega.

"Because I'm starting to see things." Answered Ado.

"Oh really? What do you see?" Said Vega.

"I see a giant floating restaurant in the distance...it's called 'Baratie'....God, how did my imagination come up with that name?"

"Wait a minute....I can see it too!" Said Vega, standing up.

"Then, if you can see it, that means....it's not an illusion?!" Said Ado in a joyous voice. "Alright then, let's go" With that he started using his arms to row the boat towards the restraunt. "Vega, use one of your swords as an oar or something!"

"Oi, oi..." Said Vega.

Soon, they had finally reached the floating restaurant. It was an extremely larbe building with two sails on the fron and back with two floors the side of the restaurant looked like it had a large fish head coming from the side.

"Yo! I'm coming in! And I would like some food!" Said Ado is he walked in.

"Idiot, you don't have to actually say it..." Thought Vega to himself. Just then they where greeted by a big, burly man dressed in a black sailor outfit around him and he also sported a mustache and beard.

"Welcome, dear costumers!" He said in an uncharacteristic, cheery voice. "My name is Pati, would you like a table?"

"Yeah, that would be great!" Said Ado.

"Do you have any money?" He asked.

"Umm....no." Answered Ado straightforwardly.

"Oh, well then..." Said Pati, still in a cheery voice before yelling "GET OUTTA HERE!" He was about to get ready to throw them out when suddenly he found Vega's Claymore inches away from his neck.

"Now wait just a minute here." Said Vega in an intimidating voice. "I think your innards could fetch a high price on certain black markets."

"You bastard, you think you can scare me with that?!" Growled Pati. "Do you know who you're talking to? I'm Pati, the Head Chef of this restaurant!" All of a sudden, he was kicked in the back and fell down, his neck just barely missing Vega's sword.

"Idiot, stop lying to the customers." Said a female voice behind him. Standing behind him was a girl who looked to be 18, she had bright red hair and had it tied into a spiked ponytail. She was wearing a black suit with matching black high heels. She was also smoking a cigarette. "Sorry about Pati over here. He likes to pretend he's the top chef over here, but he really isn't. Isn't that right, Mr. Assistant Chef?" She added a mocking tone to the last part.

Damn you, Coco, how come Zeff made you the new head chef? I bet he's in his rolling in his grave, regretting his descicon right now!" Retorted Pati, trying to make a comeback.

"You bastard, Zeff's still alive, stop trying to look important in front of the customers." Said Coco.

"Oh yeah? Well, my cooking is still better than yours!" Said Pati.

Suddenly a dark and sinister look appeared on Coco's face. "What did you say just now?"

Pati suddenly had an apologetic look on his face, like he wasn't supposed to say that. "Oh, um...I didn't mean that...It just sorta came out, it was just an accide-OW!" Before he could say more Coco had kicked him in the face, which caused him to fall down, in which she continued to stomp on his face. "Ow! Stop that Coco-chan! OUCH! You're wearing high heels!" Eventually she stopped kicking him and turned back to Ado and Vega. "So, I can I help you two."

"Um...yeah." Said Ado somewhat stunned. "We'd kinda...like a table."

"Hold on Coco!" Said Pati, standing back up putting his hand over his bloody nose. "They just told me they have no money, so you can't...."

"Haven't you learned to shut up yet?" Snapped Coco. She then turned back to Ado and Vega. "Hey, are you guys by any chance pirates?"

"Hey, that's right!" Said Ado, propping up his sunglasses. "How could you tell?"

"This restaurant actually has a reputation for pirates coming here." Answered Coco. "Eventually you so many of them you can tell just by looking. Anyways, you two wanted a seat, right? I'll get you one."

"Woohoo!" Said Ado, pumping his fist, eager to eat.

Pati was still enraged by this "That bitch!" He thought, but was wise enough to not say it out loud.

"Well, here you two are." Said Coco as Ado and Vega where now seated and looking at the menu. "So, can I get you anything?"

"I want some pork!" Exclaimed Ado. "I love pork!"

"I'll just have soup." Said Vega.

"Alright then." Said Coco, without taking note of anything anywhere. "I'll be back soon." And walked backed to the kitchen. A few minutes later she came back out with the food.

"Wow! This tastes great!" Said Ado as he was wolfing down his food.

"Of course it is." Said Coco with a puff of her cigarette. "I made it. Well then, see you later, I have other customers to attend to." With that, she began to walk to another table.

"What do you think Vega? This food's pretty good, huh?" Asked Ado.

Vega took a sip of soup. "It is pretty good indeed..."

"Then it's decided!" Said Ado. "That person's going to be our chef!"

Vega stared at him. "Oi, are you sure? I don't really feel at ease around her seeing what she did to that Pati guy..."

"That just means she's strong too!" Said Ado, now even more pumped up. He then got out of his seat and stood up and pointed towards Coco "HEY YOU!"

Coco turned around. "Huh?" She said.

Vega buried his face into his hand. "This idiots speaking his mind out again..."

"I've decided!" Yelled Ado. "You're going to be my chef!"
