Chapter 115 A Good Cook!
Picking up where we left off, as soon as Goten and his friends entered the Baratie restaurant, they saw a blond, curly-browed waiter in a suit disciplining the Marine captain who had just fired at them. Goten couldn't help but exclaim, "Have we come to the wrong place? Is this still a restaurant?"
Seeing the waiter arguing with the customer, a burly chef immediately rushed out to defend the customer, yelling at the curly-browed man, "Sanji! What are you doing, kid? How dare you treat a customer who's paying like that!"
Upon hearing this, Sanji immediately retorted, "Customer? In my eyes, a guy who wastes food has absolutely no connection to the word 'customer,' he's just a piece of scum!"
Upon hearing this, the burly chef immediately started arguing with Sanji, while the attacked Navy Lieutenant Hoppery was pushed aside and couldn't get a word in edgewise...
Sanji and the big guy were arguing when they were suddenly interrupted by Zeff and Luffy falling from the ceiling. Seeing this, Sanji couldn't help but scoff, "What are you doing, you old codger..."
Upon hearing this, Zeff kicked Sanji away, then said sternly, "Who are you calling an old geezer! You brat!"
At this moment, Hobbdy immediately complained, "Hey, you're the boss here, right? You should keep a closer eye on your men. There were bugs in the soup he just served!"
Zeff retorted, "So what? Just remove the bugs..."
Upon hearing this, Hobbdy immediately shouted, "Even you're like this! How can this restaurant be like this? Everyone here has a problem. Fine, I'll go back and tell the Navy to come and wipe this place out!"
As they spoke, a hand landed on Hobbdy's shoulder. Hobbdy was about to question who dared to be so bold when, in the next second, he flew out of the restaurant entrance like a shooting star and soared into the distant sky.
The one who attacked was none other than Son Goten. After chasing the other person away, Goten shouted, "I'm starving! Menu! Menu! I want to eat!"
-
Then Goten, Zoro, Usopp, and Nami began to eat, while Luffy wandered around the kitchen. Although Zeff had asked him to work to pay off his debts, it seemed unlikely for Luffy. In the kitchen, he was either stealing food or breaking dishes, and he even grabbed a hot iron pot with his bare hands, causing chaos in the kitchen after getting burned...
Goten and his friends, who were dining outside, soon saw Luffy being thrown out of another kitchen. When Luffy saw Goten and the others enjoying their food, he immediately went to their side and shouted, "You lot, I'm working hard, and you're just enjoying your food here!"
Zoro retorted, "Serves you right, who told you to damage their roof..."
Goten then suggested, "Since the captain wants to stay here, let's find a new leader and continue our journey across the Grand Line. As for Luffy, let him stay here and continue paying off his debts." (Upon hearing this, Luffy, in revenge, secretly put a booger into Goten's water cup while Goten was speaking.)
Goten continued, "I think, according to the order of boarding, if you have no objections..." (He picked up a water cup to drink, but suddenly grabbed Luffy by the throat and poured the water into his mouth.) He then turned to Luffy and said, "You can enjoy your own booger, how dare you play such a prank on a kid like me..."
After finishing his water, Luffy immediately started to go berserk, yelling, "My stomach hurts! My stomach hurts!" and then he collapsed to the ground and rolled around.
Suddenly, the restaurant door was kicked open. Everyone looked and saw a skinny pirate who unceremoniously sat down on a chair, his stomach growling loudly. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Food...give me food!"
At this point, Paddy, the burly chef, immediately asked the other person, "Honorable guest, do you have money?"
The man roared angrily, "Stop talking nonsense and bring the food up right now! I'm Gin of the Krieg Pirates! If you don't want to die, bring the food up!"
Seeing this, Paddy punched Gin, knocking the hungry and weak Gin to the ground. The surrounding customers immediately applauded and cheered. Soon, the penniless Gin was kicked out by Paddy. Goten and the others, who witnessed everything, continued eating as if nothing had happened. However, Luffy suddenly disappeared, and the waiter Sanji also vanished without a trace...
After eating and drinking their fill, Goten and the others returned to the ship for a rest, while Luffy kept an eye on Gin's condition. Sanji then brought out a plate of fried rice and placed it in front of Gin...
Seeing this, Ah Jin suppressed his drool and said defiantly, "I won't accept charity, not even in my most desperate situation. Take it away..."
Sanji then said, "Stop talking nonsense and eat. To me, anyone who's hungry is a guest."
Upon hearing this, Ah Jin still stubbornly insisted, "I'm not a guest..."
Seeing this, Sanji sighed and said with emotion, "The sea is truly vast and cruel. How terrifying and painful it is to be without food and water on this sea. I know all too well what it feels like to be hungry. You can die for dignity, which doesn't matter to me, but if you eat, you can see tomorrow, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Jin could no longer contain himself. He picked up the fried rice and wolfed it down, tears streaming down his face, while exclaiming that it was the best meal he had ever eaten...
At this moment, Luffy extended an invitation to Sanji: "Hey, would you like to come and be the cook on my ship?"
Sanji refused on the spot, stating that he had reasons for staying, but Luffy directly asked for those reasons, only to be evaded by Sanji...
After finishing his meal, Gin apologized to Sanji, saying, "Sorry, you're probably going to get yelled at like this..."
However, Sanji picked up the cutlery and threw it directly into the sea, saying, "That way there's no evidence..."
After seeing Gin off, Sanji and Luffy were called back to continue their work...
-
The next day, for some reason, Nami suddenly became generous and allowed Goten, Usopp, and Zoro to order food at the restaurant first without having to worry about the cost. Although the three of them felt something was off, since Nami had spoken, they had no reason to object.
Just as the three of them finished ordering, the man from yesterday returned to the restaurant, supporting another starving person. This man's companion also looked like he hadn't eaten for several days, and was humbly begging the chef for some food...
While the others hesitated, Sanji readily took out a bowl of rice. However, after Gin's companion finished eating, the man immediately turned hostile, punching Sanji and sending him flying. He then loudly demanded that the chef provide 100 servings of water and food for his subordinates...
Upon hearing this, Akin immediately questioned, "That's not right, Captain Krieg! We clearly agreed that I would bring you here, and you wouldn't damage this place..."
Krieg replied, "You're so naive! We're pirates, breaking our word is the norm for us!"
Upon hearing this, Akin was filled with disbelief and shock, but the other party was still his captain, and he was powerless to do anything about it...
