The Decisive Battle! The Demon vs The Beast! The Captain vs The Admiral!
Everyone, except Luffy, looks in amazed at what just happened. Even Gin was taken back at Seth's transformation.
Krieg, however, scoff and roll his eyes, "Tch! Gin, hurry up! That kid is just another Devil Fruit user!"
The dark-skin man simply gazed at the boy, he can't explain it…but seeing him now, this kid looks like an animal. "Kid...are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yep! Besides, you're the only one here that can actually give me a fight." Seth says, earning the ire of the other pirates.
"How dare you talk like that to us!"
"Crush him into dust, Gin!"
"Show him why we Krieg pirates are the strongest in the East Blue!"
Luffy, who was a little far away from Seth, looked at them all, "Only because you outnumber everyone else." his words pierce through the hearts.
"Heh, blunt as ever," Seth chuckled.
"You seriously have guts to say that, straw hat." Gin said, a little annoyed.
Seth quickly went to his defense. "Oh, excuse him, but he has the right to say that, after all; how are you getting stronger by just adding numbers?"
While the demon man looks at him with an eyebrow, the Krieg Pirates suddenly take their weapons out and begin to charge forward, ready to kill.
"ENOUGH!" Krieg shouted. All the pirates stopped and turned to their captain. "Acting almighty because someone calls you weakling proves that you are. So who cares if it's about strong or weak, results are what matters! I'm here, why are you all complaining?"
"Aye, Captain!" the pirates said, inspired and calm down by their captain's words.
"That's right kids! Listen to what Mama has to say! All parents need to teach their stupid children who are the bitches with the whores around him!" Seth commented.
The pirates and the cook's jaw drop, as they look in shock at the auburn-haired lion. Meanwhile, Luffy was laughing his ass off and even Zeff was chuckling.
Krieg, however, lost his composure, "You little brat! Gin, kill that turd now!"
The dark-skinned man nods, "Of course Don." and with that, he turns to Seth, "Nothing personal, but you need to die."
"Give it your best shot, Gin!" Seth yelled as both of them charged at each other.
Gin swung his tonfa at Seth's head, but the lion dodged the attack, throwing a kick to the side. Gin blocked and swung his tonfa at Seth's leg, making the lion trip but recovering in mid-air. Taking the chance, the Demon rose his tonfa and slammed it on Seth, sending him tumbling to the ground.
('Damn! That tonfa is no joke!') Seth thought as he stood up, holding his side, ('Another hit and I'm dead meat.')
Meanwhile, the Krieg Pirates were cheering for their commander, while the cooks were scared at the scene. Sanji noticed that Luffy hasn't done anything. "Oy, moron! What are you waiting for! Don't you see that your friend needs help?!"
Luffy raised an eyebrow at the blonde, "Help? With what?"
"With what?!" Patty joins in.
"Didn't you see how's he holding his side, that tonfa could have put him down for good!" Carne said while pointing at Seth.
"Don't you care that he would die?!" Sanji asked.
"Seth won't die." Luffy stated, smiling with confidence, "He's the man who will be the Strongest Beasts in all the Sea!"
Before they could say anything, Zeff spoke up, "I believe you kid…After all, if that boy is what I think it is…" he smirks at the straw hat captain. "Then you have one of the most dangerous creatures in the world on your crew."
Back to the fight, Gin commenced swinging his tonfa around, before running at Seth. The auburn-haired jump away from the tonfa as it hit the ground, cracking on it. Seth went for a punch to the face, but Gin dodged it, followed by once again tripping Seth. This time, he pinned him down with his tonfa while twirling his other one.
"Is over, kid." Gin said before slamming his tonfa in Seth's face; hard. Bones were crushed and blood was dripping out.
"WOOOOOOOOO!" the Pirates commenced celebrating Gin's job. Even Krieg was smirking.
"Take that, fucker!"
"That'll teach you to mess with the Krieg Pirates!"
"We're the strongest in the East Blue!"
The cooks, however, were crying in defeat, "Dammit kid!"
"You should have known you were outmatched!"
As the celebration and mourning continue, Gin was sad with all this, he was forced to kill the first person that helped him out. ('I'm sorry kid…I'm just doing-')
*GRIT*
His thoughts were broken when he suddenly felt a yellow hand grip his throat hard.
The Krieg Pirates stop celebrating before gasping at what just happened, even Krieg couldn't help being surprised, losing his smirk.
"You hit good Gin," Seth says, his lion hand grabbing the Demon's throat as he removes the tonfa, showing that he was bleeding, but still able to move, "But not enough to put me down!" Seth shocked everyone as he stood up like it was nothing, "Now then," his glow pure red, "Is my turn."
The auburn-haired threw a palm strike to Gin's chin, the force sending him in the air, where Seth quickly grabbed him by his legs and commenced to slam him on the ground several times before raising and punch him in the stomach, making Gin gasp for air, and slamming him on the floor four more times, sticking him on the floor. (For a better explanation, Hulk smash Loki)
"And to finish off!" Seth raised his leg and slam it on the floor in front of Gin, causing the Demon-Man's body to rose up, and for Seth turning around and grab his head in a headlock on his shoulder before shouting, "SKO!" he let himself fall, dragging Gin's head down and planting it hard on the floor.
The man was unable to move.
Everybody looked in shock at what just happened, the Krieg Pirates couldn't believe it…
The Demon…One of their best, a Commander of the Armada and Don's right-hand man...was beaten.
His job finished, Seth stood up from the floor and stretched his arms, "Well, I guess that answers my question." he then turned to Gin, "So…Did you finally understand?" he asked him.
He couldn't see it, but tears were streaming out of the Demon's eye, ('Even though I couldn't kill you…I didn't want to…') he thought as he coughs out blood.
"GIN!" Krieg voice of anger enter his ears, "HOW COULD YOU LOSE TO A FUCKING KID?! YOU DARE HUMILIATE ME LIKE THIS?"
"Don..." Gin mumble as he tries to stand up, only to roll over to his back, looking at the sky. He began to hear all the yells from his comrades, telling them to get up, to stop joking around…But the last one, open his eyes.
"You're Second-in-Command of the Armada! How could one guy beat you?!"
His eyes shot open, looking at the sky, he never spoke until the yelling stopped and Krieg asked, "Well?! What do you have to say for yourself?!"
Everyone was quiet, waiting to hear what Gin had to say. It felt like forever before a sound came from Gin as he trembled. It was faint at first, but slowly the sound grew.
"Heh...Heh…Hehehehe! Hahahahaha!"
Gin...was laughing.
Everyone stared, completely gobsmacked, at hearing Gin laugh as he lay defeated.
"Is he…laughing?" one of the cooks asked.
"Did the kid hit him too hard or something?" another one asked.
Krieg was getting pissed and annoyed, "What are you laughing Gin?! What's so funny?!"
Gin laughter died down, but a smile was left on his face as he stared at the sky. "I'm sorry," he said. "It's just that I asked myself the same question." Everyone looked at him confused before he continued. "When Hawk-Eye destroyed the fleet, I asked myself 'How could one man beat all of us?'...I didn't understand it at first, but now it's all so clear."
"...What so clear?" Krieg asked, really angry at his second in command tone of voice.
"...Everything." Gin commenced to stand up slowly to his feet. "Why we lost to 'Hawk-Eye'... Why those two," he looks at Seth and Luffy, "Had the balls to speak to us…And why did he beat me…"
Seth forms a smirk on his face, "And why is that?" he asked.
The answer was so obvious.
"...Is because….We are weak." Gin said.
Krieg's eyes widened and were bloodshot, while all the pirates had their mouths hanging open in pure shock. The chefs were equally stunned except Zeff, who smirked. Luffy smiled as well while some of the pirates found their voices.
"What do you mean 'We're weak' Gin?!"
"How hard were you hit?!"
"We're the Krieg Pirates! We're the strongest in the East Blue!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Krieg shouted so loud that he was on the verge of tearing his own throat. "WHAT EXACTLY MAKES US 'WEAK' THEN?! TELL ME GIN!"
"...The kids said it…How are we getting stronger if we keep adding more members?... We don't!" Gin explained, "If you keep adding numbers, the rest will never bother to be stronger!" he turns to Seth, "That's what you were trying to say, weren't you kid?"
"Heh, at least someone used their brain." the auburn-haired boy said.
However, the Admiral was exploding with anger inside him, "YOU FOOL! We're the Krieg Pirates! All we need-"
"Is that log-book?" Gin's smile turned sour, "I'm sorry, Don. But they are right, that won't change anything…All we are going to learn is what is there, nothing else. We'll still be too weak to do anything about it."
The other pirates couldn't believe what they were hearing. The most loyal of their crew was disagreeing with their captain…And that's never a good sign.
"You little…son-of-a-bitch!" Krieg yells as he took one of his shoulder plates and aimed it at them. "If you've lost faith in us, then you're not my Chief Commander anymore! Pirates, out of the way!" Gin's eyes turn shocked as the Pirates gasp at what the Admiral was doing.
"Not the gas!"
"He's gonna use the MH5!"
All the pirates then fished out masks and placed them on their faces. Gin pulled out his own as well. However, he stares at it.
"Drop your mask, Gin!" Krieg orders out, "You're no longer part of us! The only thing that matters in battle is who wins, even if more have to die. Poison Gas is just a means to an end; Victory decides what's right and wrong! No one will hear you complain if you're dead!"
"You bastard!" Luffy had enough and began to sprint to a mast, making his way to Krieg.
"Insignificant fool!" Krieg slammed his hand on the mast, making Luffy almost lose his balance. He then shot long yellow and green striped spikes at him, but before they could hit him, a yellow blur took him away from it.
Moments later, Seth had appeared with Luffy in his hand, "You owe me one asshole." he said as he looks at Gin, "Oy, don't you have anything to say?"
The dark skin man had his eyes shadow, "...I do."
"And that is?!"
Gin looks at his former captain with hatred, "That you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Everyone gasped at the sudden outburst of their former commander. "I've obeyed every order without question...because I truly believed that you could do it! I respected and admired you because I thought you were the strongest! But now...I see I was wrong!" Widened eyes were in him, "If all you think it takes is information and a lot of shipmates, then all you'll be doing is leading us to a slaughter! If that's all that you're going to do," Gin croaked out and then, he roared out, "THEN I'M THROUGH LISTENING TO A COMPLETE DUMBASS LIKE YOU!" Everyone froze as Gin put his mask on. The pirates in terror, the cooks in shock, and Sanji and Luffy in surprise and Seth form a smirk.
The auburn-haired grab Luffy's ear and stretch it. He then whispered into his friend's ear, "Looks like I got you a potential member." His words made the straw hat pirate smile in joy.
Krieg stood calmly before glaring at him, "Fine! I hope you're happy because, after this, you will wish to have died by the poison!" Krieg once again pointed his shield, "Fall! MH5: Poison Gas!" he yells as he pulls the trigger.
Click!
…
…
…
"...HUH?!" Krieg eyes bloodshot as he looks at his shield, he commenced to press the trigger multiple times, but the poison never came out.
Everyone looks at him in confusion, what is going on? Where's the so-called deadly poison at?
Suddenly, they hear a whistle going out and everyone turn to see Seth in his hands…Large ammunition shells.
"Looking for this?" Seth said with a hidden smirk.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU LITTLE!? WHEN THE HELL DID YOU ROB ME?!" Krieg couldn't help but ask.
"About forty-seconds ago." Seth said before dumping the shells in the ocean, "Now then," He suddenly picked Luffy like a javelin, "He's all yours Captain!" he threw Luffy at great speed, the rubber man yelling in excitement.
"Tch! Don't get cocky, boy!" Krieg suddenly brought his cape in front, revealing that it was a spiky cape, "I'm invincible!" he shouts with confidence.
Luffy threw his fist back as he yelled, "Gum-Gum…Bullet!" his fist returned and punched Krieg's in the face through the spike cape, sending the admiral into the wrecked ship.
"WHAT?!" many of the spectators screamed as everyone was now holding onto their hands at the sight of it.
"Ouch, there he goes again." Seth cringes at his friend's action.
"He fucking punch him through the spiky cape!" several pirates and cooks yell while holding their hands.
Krieg slowly stood up, wrath on his face as he looked at Luffy, who was smiling at him, "What was that about being invincible?" At his question, Krieg roared as he stood up and aimed his shield at Luffy, only for him to dodge it by jumping over him, placing his feet on Krieg's shoulder, and bringing down hard on the ground, leaving him a little dazed.
Meanwhile, the Krieg Pirates and even Gin look in shock at what they were seeing, "He's beating Don Krieg around!" one of them said.
"This can't be happening!"
"You don't think...that kid is stronger do you?"
Gin looked at the straw hat kid with amaze. He stood there, never showing fear to him. Now that he thinks about, Seth never showed fear either. It's like neither of them cares about who they are facing.
Sanji, however, was still confused, "...These guys are still idiots," he said.
"Then you better keep watching, Sanji," the blonde and Gin look back to see Zeff, holding himself with a stick, "Because is those kinds of idiots…That has more chances to accomplish their dreams."
"SHUT UP YOU INSECTS!" Krieg shouted as he stood up and shut his crew up. "THERE'S NO ONE STRONGER THAN ME!" He then put his shoulder plates together and turned them into what the Krieg pirates shouted as his ultimate weapon.
"He brought out the Great Battle Spear!" one cheered as the others followed.
"Fall kid!" Krieg swung his spear at Luffy, who simply jumped away from the spear that when it hit, made an explosion.
"Woah! That stick is a bomb?!" Luffy yelled in amazed, before commencing to dodge more of Krieg's attacks.
"Stand or Fall. Life or death...with your very existence on the line, even the smallest hint of fear means death." Zeff went off, before looking at Gin and Sanji "Those two kids...They haven't shown one hint of fear in them…Bravery or Stupidity? We'll know when this is all over."
"Come on, Luffy! Kick his ass already! The others are waiting for us!" Seth yelled out, having sat down and was eating some popcorn with soda.
Luffy, who was holding onto the spear, said, "Ah! You're right! I better hurry and end this!"
"WHAT YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO END THIS!?" Krieg rose his staff in the air and slammed it down, making Luffy let go, "THIS IS YOUR GRAVE!" Taking the chance, he sends his spear at Luffy since he was in the air.
The straw hat boy simply smirks and stops the spear by punching it with his fist. However, he explodes at the contact, sending him away, "Ha! See that!" Krieg said cockily before Luffy stood up, "This is where your dream ends, boy!" he said as he swung his spear at Luffy, who simply punched it, causing an explosion yet again, but bigger and a bigger smoke.
When it dispersed, the Krieg Pirates were hoping to see the kid in the ground with Krieg on top…They witness the kid, with scratches all over him, still standing and Krieg back…his spear's blade broke off
"My Great Battle Spear?!" The foul captain yells in shock at seeing his most dangerous weapon being destroyed.
"Haa…Haa…I'm ending this now!" Luffy yelled before stretching his arms backward, far beyond the ocean, and began to run at Krieg.
"Ending this?! Fool, I'm the strongest!" he shouts as he raises his spearless bomb and begins to bring it down on Luffy.
"Gum-Gum…" Luffy hands suddenly turned black before they began to return at super speed, "BAZOOKA!" his attack collides with Krieg's weapon, creating the biggest smoke ever.
"STRAW HAT!"
"DON KRIEG!"
Both sides yell at them as the smoke commenced to disperse. Showing that Krieg had hit Luffy on the head with his Spear…But the straw hat kid had hit his wootz armor and shattered into pieces, his eyes were white and blood came out from his mouth. They both stood there for what felt like hours…Until Luffy walked backward, letting Krieg fall to his knees, looking up to the sky.
"Y...Y...You fool…I'm Don...Krieg of the...Armada… I'm invin-" Krieg couldn't finish as a fist slam hard on his face.
"Seriously, stop with that, is annoying," Luffy said, pulling his fist back and letting the Admiral fall backward.
"He...He did it…" Gin's eyes were shocked, his former commander was defeated.
The fighting cooks began to yell in victory, "Woohoo!"
"He did it!"
"Good job Straw Hat!"
Meanwhile, the Krieg Pirates were, for the second time, feeling despair, "No way…"
"Don Krieg lost…"
"This has to be a dream!"
"Now then," the pirates turn to look at Seth, Sanji, and Luffy, the three of them glaring at them. "If you still want to fight, come at us!"
…
…
…
...Fighting the animal that took down their Demon-Man, the rubber monster that defeated Don Krieg, and the blond cook that not even Pearl could put down on his own?
"HELL NO! WE SURRENDER!" they all answer, turning blue and raising their hands in the air.
(A little while later)
"So...my question is; how the fuck is this ship not sinking yet?" Seth couldn't help asking as he witnessed all the Krieg Pirates in one big boat, that was neither small nor big for all of them.
"...Who knows?" Sanji, who is next to him with a patch on his cheek, answers. He then turns to Gin, who was the only one left. "So Gin…What are you going to do now?"
The black-haired look at the ocean, "...I think…I'm going to the Grand Line." His answer shocked everyone.
"What?!" a cook asked.
"I thought you didn't want to return there?" Seth asked.
"True…But after fighting you and seeing Straw Hat fight with everything on the line…Maybe I should do the same…So I won't run away again." he says with determination in his eyes.
"YEAH?!" Patty yelled. "But know one thing, you bastard! You ever come here again, we'll kick your ass!"
"YEAH!" screamed the other chefs.
Gin just smirked before he turned back to the boat, but just as he was about to jump in, a hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Hold on," the demon turns to see that Seth was the one that stopped him, "If that's your plan…Then I have a proposition." Gin raised an eyebrow as he heard the auburn-haired words, "Come with us!" he said with a smile.
"...WHAT?!" Everyone present was shocked, expect Luffy of course.
"You're going there, so do we! Why don't you join us?"
"Whoa! Hold on, kid!" Carne yelled. "After all the crap he put us through, you want him to join your crew just like that?!"
"Luffy is okay with it."
"Yeah!" Luffy said, causing all the chefs to fall over.
"You're...serious?" Gin was still shocked by it.
"Yeah!" Luffy said, "You're super strong, I could get someone like you in my crew, what you say?" he asked.
Gin looks at them for a few seconds before turning at the boat and placing a foot on it…Before pushing it away, letting set sail without him.
"You know what?" Gin turned to them with a smirk, "Why not? I have nothing to lose."
"Yahoo!" Luffy yells in joy throwing his hand in the air, "I have a new member!" he says before a growl escapes from his stomach. "...I'm hungry."
Everyone fell once again to the floor. Zeff simply laughed and said, "Get in, have the free food as thanks for helping us."
"Shishishishishi! Free food!" Luffy yells as he goes inside the restaurant, leaving Gin and Seth sweating.
"...Can I call you Seth?"
"Yes."
"What did I get myself into?"
"Here's the short version; craziness, food, and fighting…also, logic doesn't work here."
"...This is going to be a long journey."
"Yes, it will be."
After getting their meals, Luffy Seth, and Gin went to find Sanji, who was sitting on the floor, since there were no seats available.
"Hey, Sanji-
"No. I'm not leaving. I'm staying until Zeff recognizes me as a chef." Sanji said without looking at them.
"Hmm, fine, I give up," Luffy said, although his arm was saying otherwise as he latches on the blonde's shoulder.
"Then stop grabbing my shoulder!" Sanji yelled, smacking his arm away.
"Come on Luffy, I let you blackmail Zoro into joining the crew, let Sanji decide for himself," Seth said.
"Blackmailed?" Gin raised his eyebrow, "He blackmailed the Pirate Hunter?"
"I know it is hard to believe, but in his defense, Zoro dug himself on that one," Seth says.
"Seth! Help me convince him to join us!" Luffy began to whine.
"No, and stop eating my food!" Seth replied, moving his plate away from a rubber hand. Gin and Sanji commenced looking back and forth at them in confusion.
"...Look, I can't leave yet...but someday I will…I want to find something…" Sanji looks at them, "Hey….Have you ever heard of the All Blue?"
At that moment, Seth's eyes widened as he spits some juice out from his mouth, "All Blue!? The Legendary ocean with fishes from all the oceans?!"
"You hear about it?!" Sanji asked, in excitement.
"Are you kidding me?!" Seth says as he and Sanji begin to talk about the Miracle Sea of the world. Luffy and Gin were confused but kept listening to them. As they were continuing, Patty stood up with a plate in his hands.
"Hey!" he yells out, grabbing everyone's attention, "Who made this soup?!"
"I did," Sanji said. "Good, huh?"
"Good?! This slope is good!?" Patty yelled. "I'd be amazed if the customers didn't vomit from one taste!"
Upon hearing those words, Sanji's eyes turn dark, "What did you say ass-hat!?"
"Like he says!"
"This soup stinks!"
"What shit you put on this?"
All the chefs commenced dropping the plates to the ground, making Sanji even angrier than he was. Things go south when Zeff himself throws his soup on the ground.
"Who made this crap soup?! We can't that serve here!" he says, making the blonde explode.
"What do you mean crap soup, old geezer?!" he said, grabbing the head chef by the shirt, "How is my soup different than yours?!"
"My soup?" Zeff suddenly raised his fist and punched Sanji in the face, "You'll never be able to cook like me! I have cooked all over the ocean!"
"Tch! Fuck all of you!" Sanji yelled before storming outside, slamming the door hard on them.
"...You guys are the worst actors in the world, you knew that?" Seth asked, taking a spoon of the soup.
"Yeah…This soup is good…Really good." Gin agreed.
"...We know…But if we don't do this, he won't go away…" Zeff said. "Is like you said, boy…He's so stupid that he hasn't realized how I want him to repay me."
"Repay?" Luffy asked.
"Now that I think about it…" Gin looks at the auburn-haired. "Seth, you say that he hasn't noticed how to repay him..."
Seth finishes eating his food, "...Yeah… But I don't know what?"
"...Kid." Zeff looked at Luffy, who looked at him, "You need a cook, right? Can you take the eggplant with you? The Grand Line is his dream after all."
"...No way." Luffy said. Some of the chefs fell over at that, while Gin had started choking on his food in surprise.
"What?" Zeff said, now sounding angry. "You said you wanted him to be your ship's cook earlier! What, he is not good enough for you?"
"Oh no, he's good, but he wants to stay here and cook for this restaurant. I want him to join, but I won't force him." Luffy said as Seth gave some water for Gin to swallow.
"...So he has to say yes…Well, is going to be hard; who knows if that hard-headed twerp will agree to join ya." Zeff commented.
Suddenly, something crashed through the walls of the restaurant, making a giant mess.
"What the heck?!" some of the cooks yelled in surprise.
The smoke clears up, revealing a shark with white and black stripes shark with Yosaku on his mouth, and Sanji below them.
"...So many thoughts were formed in my head that day." Seth muttered.
"It's Yosaku!" Luffy said in a happy voice. "You come for the food Yosaku!?" he asked with a smile.
"Do you even notice the Panshark that has him in his mouth?" Gin asked with a few sweat drops.
After getting something to eat and drink, Yosaku was wrapped in a towel, "We couldn't catch up with Big Sis…But we think she's headed to a very dangerous area."
"Somewhere dangerous?" Seth asked. "...We better go now," he says.
"Uhm….What about him?" Yosaku points at the Demon Man.
"New crew member!" Luffy answered, "Let's go, we need to catch up with the others." with that, the four of them began to exit before-
"Hold it."
Everyone looked at Sanji, who was resting against the wall, smoking. "...Your dreams are stupid…So is mine…" he looks at them, "I guess I should start looking for it."
"Sanji?"
"You need a cook, right?" The blonde said before smiling at them. "Then you got one…I'll join you in this quest of becoming the King of the Pirates."
"Yes!" Luffy shouts in joy as he and Yosaku commence to dance around, forming a sweat down Gin and Seth's forehead.
"...How could he act this childish...when he was so strong a few hours ago?" Gin asked.
"Who knows," Seth answered.
The blonde turned to all the chefs, "You all happy now?" he asked grumpily, but he smirked at their faces. "Sorry, I'll go now. And sorry that you had to do some shitty acting."
"You knew?!" Patty yelled.
"I heard everything assholes," Sanji said as he looked at the head chef. "Stomping on my pride huh? Was that all you could think of to get me to leave, you shitty geezer?"
"YOU WANNA FIGHT SANJI?!" Patty yelled before Zeff stopped him.
"I've always hated children," he said. "I've always regretted letting you live, Sanji."
"Tch. Fine. Have fun with your crappy life, ya stupid old man." Sanji said before he turned to the three of them. "I'm gonna get my stuff. Wait for me by the ship."
After a while, Luffy, Seth, Gin, and Yosaku were in a boat that belongs to Sanji outside, the cooks were outside on the patched-up fin as the four men were in the boat, waiting for Sanji so they could depart. Finally, Sanji stood in the doorway with his gear, taking a last look around before walking towards the ship.
Suddenly, Patty and Carne appear out of nowhere with their weapons out, "Sanji! Here's our goodbye!" The next moment, they were on the floor, beaten up.
Sanji walks up to the edge, "Let's go," he said.
"No goodbyes?" Luffy asked.
"Nah," Sanji said as he was about to get on the boat.
"Sanji!" Zeff called from the balcony, stopping him in his tracks. "Be careful out there kid."
…
…
…
Sanji couldn't take it anymore as tears formed in his eyes. "CHEF ZEEEEEEF!" he yelled before spinning around and bowing till his head hit the Baratie deck. "THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ME! AND FOR ALL YOUR KINDNESS! I OWE MY LIFE TO YOU OLD MAN! THANK YOU!" Sanji stayed there on the deck crying, which was soon followed by Zeff and all the Chefs on the Baratie.
"WAAAAAAH!" Patty yelled out, getting Sanji's attention. "This is sad!"
"Super sad!" Carne yelled out as well, both with tears in their eyes.
"We're gonna miss you Sanji!"
"This place won't be the same without you!" Everyone was saying how they'd miss him as Sanji smiled through his tears.
"Rotten words," Zeff said with bloodshot eyes. "Real men should part ways without words, let alone tears." Sanji finally got in the boat after regaining some control.
"LET'S GO! SET SAIL!" Luffy shouted as they unfurled the sails and sailed off. Sanji was still crying as he waved back to them all.
"I WILL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN!" he shouted before smiling. "IT'S A PROMISE, YA CRAZY BASTARDS!" he didn't stop until they couldn't see the Baratie anymore.
And so, the four of them commenced sailing after the rest of the crew. While they sailed, Seth was on the top of the boat, looking at the piece of paper he found in the boat.
('...So…You need something for me…') he thought as he looked at the paper.
"Coco Village, 23-24; find the house of tangerines."
At the same time, Nami was reaching her destination, I'm back home…" she says before she looks at a paper in her hands, "Please, Seth…You're the only one that I can trust for this…Please come…" she says, with a forceful smile in her face while tears drop.
-People to take down-
Arlong
