East Blue – Baratie 

After serving what Fullbody and his companion, along with Luffy and his crew, had ordered, Sanji continued attending to the tables until Fullbody called him over. 

When Sanji arrived at the table, Fullbody pointed to his soup and said, "Waiter, why is there a mosquito in my soup?" 

"I've told you before, I'm not a waiter, I'm just helping out in the dining room", Sanji said as he reached the table. 

Seeing the mosquito floating in the soup, Sanji rubbed his chin and said, "Hmm, that's Robson. He's considered an Olympic swimmer among his kind. He must've thought your soup was a pool or something." 

The woman accompanying Fullbody and the nearby tables burst into laughter at Sanji's comment. 

Sanji then turned to the woman and flirted, "So, beautiful, what do you think about us going out later, having a bit of wine? I've got some great vintages, and after that, who knows what we'll do. What do you say?" 

"Well—" the woman started to reply but was interrupted by Fullbody slamming his fist on the table, breaking it and sending the plates crashing to the floor, shattering porcelain and glass, and wasting the food completely. 

Fullbody then shouted at Sanji in a fit of rage, "I'm a paying customer at this dump, and on top of that, I'm a lieutenant in the Navy, and now a mere cook dares to mock me?" 

"Well, looks like you're done eating. I'll clean this up", Sanji said, his face expressionless. 

"You didn't hear me, you piece of trash. My money is paying for this, so you're going to show me some respect, got it?" 

"Then eat your money because your meal here is done. Wasting food is unacceptable. Food isn't something to play with", Sanji said seriously before advancing toward Fullbody. 

When he reached Fullbody, Sanji delivered an upward kick, striking Fullbody squarely on the chin with the sole of his foot, lifting him into the air. Then Sanji jumped, grabbed Fullbody's neck with his calf, spun rapidly, and slammed Fullbody's head into the ground, creating a crater and knocking him unconscious. 

Zeff then appeared in the dining room and asked Sanji, "What the hell's going on here, Sanji?" 

"This idiot wasted food", Sanji said, lighting a cigarette and pointing at Fullbody after adjusting his suit. 

"...Sigh... Just get back to work, kid", Zeff said with a sigh before turning and walking off somewhere in the restaurant. 

Suddenly, a Marine rushed into the restaurant, shouting for Fullbody, "Lieutenant Fullbody, sir, there's an emergency, the prisoner has escaped, uh?" 

Seeing Fullbody's condition, the Marine looked very confused. "What happened to him?" 

"This idiot's taking a nap. Now get his ass out of here and get the hell out of this restaurant", Sanji said, kicking the bloodied Fullbody. 

He then returned to work, attending tables and delivering orders. 

"Cool, he's pretty strong, right?", Luffy asked his crew, observing the chaos while continuing to stuff his face with an absurd amount of food. 

At this point, everyone at the table had finished eating, their stomachs full. The only one still eating was Luffy. 

"Are you talking about the waiter?", Zoro asked indifferently. 

"Yeah, him", Luffy confirmed. 

"He knows how to throw some kicks, so what?", Zoro asked, not understanding where Luffy was going with this. To him, Sanji wasn't interesting at all. 

"Well, he's the crew's cook", Luffy said after swallowing what he was chewing. 

"You're kidding, right? Are you seriously telling me you invited 'Pubic Hair Brows' to join the crew?", Zoro asked, baffled by why Luffy would do that. The guy wasn't even that strong. 

"I haven't invited him yet, but I'm going to soon", Luffy said, taking a sip of his strawberry milkshake. 

"Then why did you say that pervert is part of the crew?", Nami asked, taking a sip of her water. 

"Because he is part of the crew, duh", Luffy said, continuing to eat. 

"And what if he refuses the invitation?", Usopp asked cautiously. 

"Haven't you learned anything by now? Obviously, I'll refuse his refusal and just keep pestering him until he accepts", Luffy said, raising an eyebrow as if Usopp had asked the dumbest question in the world. 

"Classic Luffy move", Nami said playfully, a smile on her face as she glanced at Luffy beside her, still devouring food. 

A little later, after Luffy finally finished eating, Sanji returned to their table with the bill for the meal. 

Luffy took the bill, simply signed his name, and drew a stick figure wearing a straw hat and smiling next to his signature. 

He then handed the bill to Sanji, saying, "Thanks for the food." 

Sanji raised an eyebrow at Luffy's handiwork, but then a smile spread across his face, and he said, "No, sir, I'm the one who should be thanking you." 

Meanwhile, Luffy's crew exchanged puzzled looks, not understanding why Luffy had done that since they knew they had more than enough money to pay the bill properly. 

Just as Nami was about to ask why Luffy hadn't just paid, they all heard a loud, angry voice echoing through the dining room, "Who the hell is Monkey D. Luffy?" 

"Here", Luffy said, raising his hand as he looked at Zeff, who began walking toward their table. 

"Looks like you're a bit confused about the house rules. Here at Baratie, we don't accept credit," Zeff says as he reaches the table. 

"No, old man, I think you're the one who didn't get it. The meal's already paid for. I just haven't given you the money yet", Luffy said, trying to explain to the senile old man in front of him that he had already settled the bill. 

"And where's the money?", Zeff asked, starting to lose his patience. 

"It's in my treasure", Luffy said as if it were obvious. 

"And where the hell is your fucking treasure?", Zeff asked, getting angrier. 

"Well, when I find One Piece, I'll come back and pay the full bill, with interest", Luffy said, smiling, wondering if the old man finally understood. 

"Your treasure is the One Piece?", Zeff asked, either impressed by the boy's courage or baffled by his stupidity. 

"That's right. Looks like you're not as senile as I thought, old man", Luffy said, complimenting Zeff. 

"Hah, nah, I've got a better idea", Zeff said, letting out an amused sigh before grabbing Luffy by his clothes and dragging him toward the kitchen. 

"You know, I'm starting to think that sometimes our captain does some pretty stupid things", Usopp said, watching Zeff drag Luffy away. 

"No kidding", Nami said, rolling her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
