Author's Note: Hope you all enjoy this chapter. Now, I know it seems I'm making a habit of updating this fanfic every week, but I'm getting to the point where that isn't the case for now. I really like this story, but I need to focus on some of my others. So don't be surprised if I don't upload the next chapter next week.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter. Any and all comments are welcome.

"There it is!" Yosaku shouted pointing out into the distance.

"The Baratie!" Johnny added.

The Straw Hats and the Harley Quinn Pirates raced to the ship's railings to follow the bounty hunters' fingers. They smiled widely with dropped jaws at the three-story ship that sailed between two different masts. The front of the ship had the shape of a large, open-mouth fish.

"Whoa! That's a big ship!" Luffy commented. "it looks like a fish!"

"So cool!" Usopp added.

"Guess the East Blue is full of surprises." Harley said.

"Hey, pirates!"

A gruff voice shouted from the side. Everyone turned seeing a Marine ship sailing on the starboard side. A young man with a scar on his face came up. He wore a striped suit and mechanical knuckles on his hand.

"Who's this loser?" Harley asked.

"I am Lieutenant Ironfist Fullbody, Minister of the Navy." The stripe-suited man introduced himself. "Which one of you is the captain?"

"Actually, there are two pirate captains here. My name's Monkey D. Luffy."

"And I'm Harley Quinn."

"Harley Quinn?" Fullbody asked. "Wait. Aren't you the tramp who Donquixote Doflamingo dumped?"

"Hey! He didn't dump me! I dumped him!" Harley protested aggressively.

"Nothing about the 'tramp' comment?" Boomerang asked.

"Either way, it's my duty to deal with you scum accordingly." Fullbody said.

"Hold it, buster! You can't do that!" Yosaku shouted.

"Yeah! You see the Baratie over there?" Johnny asked pointing at the sailing restaurant. "They serve everyone! It's neutral ground! You can't attack us and we can't attack you!"

"Well, we're not on the Baratie, are we?" Fullbody asked. "You know, you all really pissed me off. So this is personal." He turned to one of his officers. "Sink their ship."

"Yes, sir!"

"AAAAAHHH! HE'S GONNA SINK US!" Usopp yelled.

"Oh, don't worry about it." Harley said readying to swing her bat. "I'll take care of it."

"No way, Harley!" Luffy protested. "You already beat up the last guy who picked a fight with us! Now, it's my turn!"

Harley shrugged. "Fine. Knock yourself out, kid."

BOOM!

The cannon fired and the cannonball flew towards the Going Merry. Luffy jumped up to the railing right in the cannonball's path.

"Gum-Gum… BALLOON!" Luffy shouted before expanding his stomach to make himself look incredibly fat. The Navy commander widened his eyes at the sight of it. "HERE'S YOUR BALL BACK!"

The cannonball bounced right off Luffy's expanded body, but it didn't go in the direction he wanted. Instead, it was shot off somewhere no one wanted it to go. It flew at great speed until it blew up a significant part of the floating restaurant's top floor.

"Oh, that can't be good." Harley said. "Well, needless to say, uh-oh, spaghetti-o's."

Obviously, Luffy got in trouble. Not only did he blow up part of the Baratie, he also injured the one-legged head chef, Zeff. In order to pay back for all the damages, Luffy was forced to work on the ship for a whole year. A lot has happened in the day that followed.

The Navy officer who first fired the cannonball, Fullbody, was beaten by the assistant chef for wasting food. A starving, poor pirate named Gin got kicked out for not having any money to pay, but ended up getting served anyway by the same assistant chef. And now, Luffy was put on chore duty. After screwing up most other chores, Luffy was given waiter position. That's when he stumbled upon a shocking sight.

"What are you guys doing here?" Luffy asked his crew, Harley, and Boomerang who sat together at the same table.

"Having a delicious lunch." Harley said.

"We heard you had to work here for a whole year, chore boy." Nami teased.

"Hey, Harley, you still want us in your crew?" Zoro asked playfuly. "Our captain's a little indisposed."

"Seriously?!" Luffy shouted. "I'm slaving away while you guys are enjoying yourselves?!"

"Why not? The head chef isn't mad at us." Boomerang laughed.

Luffy picked his nose and pulled out a booger. He then dropped it into Zoro's drink without his knowledge. Everyone else saw, but kept quiet to see how this would turn out.

Zoro picked up his drink and held it at his face. "You know, Luffy, the food here is actually not bad. I do feel sorry for you. So I'll tell you what… YOU CAN HAVE THE FIRST SIP!" He grabbed Luffy's head and forced the drink down into his mouth.

Harley laughed. "Oh, man! It's like comedy on stereo!"

"Ah, what beautiful angels my eyes have the fortune to set upon."

The new voice came from behind. Harley and Nami both looked to see a thin, teenage boy with a fancy black suit, blonde hair that covered one of his eyes, and a curly eyebrow on the other side of his obviously smitten face.

"Who are you, curls?" Harley asked.

"I'm Sanji, the assistant chef, and let me just say, you two are true beauties personified. If I could, I would join you all. Though, sadly, there are too many obstacles between us."

"Obstacles, Sanji? Don't make me laugh." Asked the head chef, Zeff, interrupting him. It was an old man with a long, braided mustache that was almost as long as his chef's hat. Instead of a normal foot, his right leg was a peg leg from the knee down. "Look, if you want to be a pirate, go ahead. I certainly don't need you anymore."

Sanji growled at the comment. "What do you mean by that, old man?"

"You fight with customers. You keep flirting with women. And you're a lousy cook." Zeff said. "And the other cooks don't tolerate you either. Just do us all a favor and get out of here."

Sanji grabbed Zeff by his collar angrily. "That's enough out of you, old man! Insult me all you want, but do not insult my cooking! I'm staying here until the day you die!"

"Hands off." Zeff said. He quickly grabbed Sanji's arm and tossed him over his shoulder slamming him to the ground. "Don't say things like that. I won't die. I'll live another hundred years."

Sanji stood up and turned away from his mentor in a huff.

"Gee. What's up with Prince Charming there?" Harley asked.

"I dunno." Luffy answered. "I insisted that he should join my crew, but he kept refusing. Wouldn't tell me why?"

Sanji turned back to the pirates and personally served fine food and drinks to Harley and Nami. "I am so sorry for the scene that you had to see. Here."

"How gallant." Nami said.

"And who said chivalry is dead?" Harley asked.

"Hey!" Boomerang shouted. "They get cuisine and we get tea? You blonde discriminator!"

"Quit being ungrateful." Sanji replied.

Suddenly, a cook rushed right over with a heavy breath. He turned to the head chef. "Sir! We've got a celebrity coming aboard!"

"A celebrity?" Zeff asked.

"Yes, sir! It's Basil Karlo!"

The sound of the name brought smiles to most of the other customers. The pirates themselves looked confused until they heard the whispers among the crowd.

"Basil Karlo? The actor?"

"Not just any actor. He's the greatest actor in the East Blue."

"And he's a dreamboat too. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

Suddenly, the doors opened wide and the most handsome man ever seen walked right through. He brushed his fingers through his silky, jet-black hair. Many of the girls swooned over his perfectly sculpted head shape and his imposing body size and shape which was covered by a brown jacket, a black shirt, dark-blue pants, and black shoes.

"It's him!"

"It's Basil Karlo!"

"Please, please, don't crowd me." Basil said obviously loving the praise. "Today, I am merely a humble customer looking to fill his belly."

Basil was approached by a very large cook with a stereotypical sailor uniform and a black mustache-and-beard combo. He gave a frightening smile over to the actor.

"Welcome, squid-face!" he greeted profoundly.

Basil's smile dropped and he gasped. "What?! Who told you?!"

The cook dropped his smile and looked confused. "Uh, told me what?"

"Patty, don't bother the actor." Zeff said. "I told you, you keep getting the lines wrong. Like that time you said 'Come again yesterday'. How does that make sense?"

"It makes sense in my head." Patty said.

"Do you also hear people loving you in your head?" Sanji asked getting a sneer from Patty.

"Sorry about that, Mr. Karlo." Zeff said. "I am the head chef, Zeff. We'll be happy to serve you. Unfortunately, we're a little understaffed these days. All of our waiters jumped ship a short time ago. So you'll have to wait for our chore boy."

"It's fine." Basil said taking an empty table.

Zeff turned to Luffy. "You heard me, chore boy. Come take Mr. Karlo's order."

"Okay. I got it." Luffy said.

Basil took a deep breath. "That's a relief." He whispered to himself before taking out a handkerchief and using it to rub his sweating forehead. When he removed it, Luffy came by and noticed little brown drips on it.

"Hey, mister. How'd you get mud on your hanky?" Luffy asked. "You don't look that dirty to me."

Basil looked at the handkerchief and let out a panic. He turned away from Luffy and violently shook it in the air to get all the brown drips off of it. He then turned back to Luffy with a nervous smile.

"Don't worry about it." Basil said. "Now, for my order."

Harley, who overheard the whole thing, raised an eyebrow in suspicion. She was about to listen in more when another cook raced in to meet Zeff, but with a face full of fear and panic.

"CHEF! CHEF! WE HAVE TROUBLE!"

Everyone raised their heads to the direction of the hysterical cook.

"Easy there." Zeff said. "Now, what's the problem?"

"It's… It's… It's Don Kreig, captain! The don of a pirate armada of 5000 men is sailing towards us!"

Just then, everyone in the restaurant gasped and shook fearing for what was about to happen.

"Well, this sounds like it's going to be a thing." Harley commented.

Over at his table, Basil Karlo stood petrified in terror. His pupils dilated and he began to breathe heavily.

"No." he whispered to himself. "It can't be him. Not again."
