"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" Said Batari angrily. "Bruford just got beat by some kid! I can't beleive it! I'm gonna kill that kid! Wait a minute...I'm the captain of this ship now, I can just take it out on my subordinates!" He then turned towards the Baratie chefs. "Hey! What's with you guys! We're taking you over, so you're all members of our crew now! You should be helping us!"

"Oi, oi," Said Coco, stepping up to him. "I don't know what you're trying to do, but last time I checked I was the head chef here. What gives some fat-ass like you the right to replace me?"

"Who you callin' a fat-ass, bitch?!" He said. "I'll start with you first, I'm gonna kill you!"

"You're kill me? That's not going to happen either." Said Coco. "Because if anything, you're the one that's going to be killed." Though she sounded laid-back and collected, in reality her thoughts were racing.

"I'm definitely going to beat this guy!" She thought. "There's something I want to do in my life, and I can't do it if we wind up working under this fat-ass!"

"You say you're going to kill me? Ha ha ha! That's a good one!" Said Batari. "But now you've REALLY PISSED ME OFF! I'm goin' all out on you!"

"Batari, stay calm!" Said Karuga. "I'll take things from here, you shouldn't be so reck...."

"Captain, just leave him be." Said Chaka.

"Chaka! What do you mean by that?!" Asked Karuga.

"Isn't it more interesting this way?" Said Chaka. "Seeing which side destiny is on, which side is stronger..."

"Idiot! What if they just happen to win out! It isn't safe!" Said Karuga.

"Captain, are you suggesting someone here is more powerful than you?" Said Chaka with a grin.

"Hm...you do have point." Said Karuga. "He's right, I'm still the strongest one here. I'm the one with the 22,000,000 Bounty. If anything goes wrong I can step in at anytime!"

"You bitch, you don't know who you're talking to!" Continued Batari. "I'm not just gonna be captain of this ship because I'm a chef, you know!"

"Well, then, let me tell you something." Said Coco. "I was a black belt in both Judo and Karate. I'm not exactly the type you want to face either. "

"I don't give a shit what you know!" Said Batari. "Against me, you're nothing but a stupid piece of-" The rest of his sentence was interuppted as he was kicked square in the face by Coco.

"You done yet?" Asked Coco. "It's getting annoying to hear you talk."

"Grrr....YOU BITCH! NOW I'M REALLY GONNA KILL YOU NOW!" Screamed Baratie as he dove headfirst towards Coco, but Coco stepped aside and dodged it easily.

"Hey, you shouldn't leave your arms out in the open like this." Said Coco. "A chef's hands are importnat you know." With that, she stepped on his hand. "Tha'ts why I've made it so I only need to use my legs."

"GYAAH!" That hurts like a bitch, you bitch!" Yelled Batari angrily.

"Yeah! C'mon! Kick his ass!" Yelled Ado has he began cheering the fight on.

"And this guy's just joined the sidelines all of a sudden..." Thought Coco. "He could help, you know..."

"Hmph," Thought Zeff to himself. "Maybe I'm the only one who's actually realized it, but what she's doing is also the principals for the 'Red Leg' fighting style I invented so many years ago..."

"You bitch, I'll make sure you'll die now!" Said Batari as he began back up.

"Is that all you can really say?" Said Coco with a puff of her cigarette.

"This time I mean it!" Said Batari. With that he began stirring the batter mixing bowl that he was holding with his wooden spoon.

"Oh, I was wondering what that was for." Said Coco. "You gonna make me a pancake or something?"

"Shut up and take this!" Said Batari as he suddenly uplled out the spoon and threw some batter towards Coco. Coco tried to dodge but couldn't help to a few drops on her pants.

"Huh? What's this all about?" Said Coco. Suddenly she felt a sharp, burning pain on one of her legs. She looked down and saw the spot of batter that got on her was slowly burning through her pants and to her skin. "What the hell...why is it burning?"

"Haha! This isn't just ordinary batter! It has acid in it!" Said Batari. "With this acid, I'll be sure to burn you to death!"

"I'll be sure to beat your face before you can do that then." Said Coco. She the lept forward and prepared another attack.

"It won't be that easy, bitch!" Said Batari, who then flew some more of his acid-filled batter towards Coco. Coco was able to turn her body out of the way, but some had scratched past her knee.

"Damn! This stuff hurts like a bitch!" Thought Coco as she felt the batter-acid burning on her knee. "But if I can just get him in my range..." She continued as she was able to still was running towards Batari. "CALCIO CON POTERE!" She yelled as she kicked Batari square in the stomach.

"GAH!" Yelled Batari as he was knocked backwards.

"...He's still just stupid fat-ass." Thought Coco.

Batari stood back up, this time he looked madder than ever. "YOU STUPID BITCH! I'M GONNA KILL YOU! I'VE NEVER WANTED TO KILL SOMEONE AS BADLY AS I'VE WANTED TO KILL YOU NOW!" With that began stirring his mixing bowl rapidly. "TAKE THIS, MY SUPER ULTIMATE ATTACK! HISSATSU KIJI GEKI!" He began stirring the batter even faster, until suddenly drops of batter came flying out everywhere, melting the parts of the floor and and wall.

"Damn it, more of the floor is getting destroyed!" Remarked a chef.

"Someone better be able to pay for this!" Said another.

"HAH! WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW!" Said Batari. " IF YOU TRY AND HIT ME NOW, YOU'LL JUST BE BURNED ALIVE BY MY ACID! I'M INVINCIBLE!"

Coco took a inhale of her cigarette, and then slowly exhaled. "And so what if I can't hit you?"

"Huh?" Said Batari. "What the hell do you mean bitch?"

"I mean if I can't kick you, I can just get something else to instead." Saic Coco. "And thanks to you flinging that batter everywhere, the floorboards have gotten weaker." With that she gave the ground a hard stomp, causing a big chunk of floorboard to be sprung up in the air "OSCILLARE CALCIO!" She said as she kicked the large piece of floorboard towards Batari, which hit him square in the stomach with a large force.

"GUH!!!!" Said Batari as he fell to the ground began to cough up blood. "I...can't get up...you...bitch!!!! How dare you do this to me!!!" He hissed as Coco walked up to him.

"Jesus, looks like this is the only way I can get you to shut up." She said as she then stomped on his face, knocking him out cold and surely resulting in a broken face. "Well, that's that."

"Yeah! You did it! As expected of one of my crew members!" Said Ado suddenly.

"Who ever said I was your crew member...." Said Coco.

"I...I don't believe this!" Thought Karuga with a look of anger on his face. "Now not one, but two of my members have been defeated!"

"That Batari," Said Chaka. "He was a dumbass right up to the end. At least Bruford was defeated with some pride and honor in him."

"Chaka!" Said Karuga. "This is your fault! Two of my captains have already been defeated! I'm through with this idea of yours! I'm taking those two pests on personally!"

"I understand." Said Chaka. "Then I'll deal with the you people over here." He added, turning towards the chefs.

"Hey, you're underestimating us!" Said one chef. "You're just one guy! There's no way you could take on all of us!"

"That's right!" Said Carne. "Let us show you the pride of Baratie!" With that, the chefs began to charge towards Chaka.

"WAIT!" Said Zeff, who stayed put, which caused the chefs to stop.

"Huh? What is it, Zeff?" Asked Carne.

"You shouldm't fight him." Said Zeff. "He's too much for all of you. I can tell."

"W...what?" Said Carne.

"Hmph, you've got a keen eye old man." Said Chaka. "You all should listen to him. I've never willingly fought anyone unless I know I have a 100% chance at victory. Now then-" He said, pulling out his Katana. "Are you all going to surrender quietly, or do some of you need further convincing?"

"D-dammit..." Said Carne. "If only that other swordsman guy was still in condition to fight! But he had to go and get himself nearly killed, there's no way he can do anything now!"

"Oh? There was another swordsman here? Too bad I missed him." Said Chaka. "Well then, if you're all just going to do nothing, I'm assuming that means you surrender..."

"Hold on!" Said a voice. Everyone turned and saw, to their surprise, Vega, still seriously injured with blood dripping everywhere, and having to put one of his arms on a table to keep himself standing. "Just now..." He said. "Who was the bastard who said I couldn't fight?!"
