"And that obstacle will be me!! " says Alex and Zeff at the same time.
"Huh~ who are you? " asks Alex and Zeff at the same time turning to look at one another.
"I have asked first, so you should be answering first. " 2x
"I am the customer/owner, so you should answer first. " 2x with a serious face.
"Fine then I will introduce myself… " 2x
"No, I will… " with that they were at a standstill for a while as if they are synchronized by someone to say almost the same thing when Zoro finally steps in "Come on Alex stop playing around with the old man that curly brow is flattering with Nami. "
"Right. " says Alex in a hurry before he turns to look at Sanji who is still flattering with Nami ignoring the argument he was having with Zeff.
"Wait kid let me handle this. " says Zeff extending his hand to stop Alex.
"You better be quick old man. " says Alex with a serious face since Zeff is the onwer maybe he should show him some respect.
"Just learn from your elder do things properly. " says Zeff with a proud face before walking behind Sanji to call out "Sanji. "
"Damn, stupid old geezer. " hearing him getting called out Sanji finally responded with an annoyed face.
"This is an opportunity you don't want to pass out, so why don't you join them and become a Pirate since I have no need to keep you in my restaurant. " advised Zeff with a kind yet serious face.
"What do you mean you don't need me here I am the Sous Chef here. " says Sanji with angry face.
"You argue all the time, cause commotion and hit the customers all the time, your existence is more of a nuisance than help for the kitchen, I don't need someone like you. " says Zeff with a serious face.
"I don't care what you say, I won't listen to you no matter what you say and I am staying here do you hear me. " not feeling anger but only irritation Sanji holds Zeff by the Collar before asking with a serious face.
"What do you think you are doing holding your boss by the collar you fool. " shouts out Zeff with anger before holding Sanji by the collar and throwing him over the head the next moment for his behavior and breaking the table where the Straw hats were eating.
"You can try to kick me all you want but I am not leaving until you are dead and gone old man. " after getting thrown by Zeff and hitting the table Sanji says looking at Zeff's back without any resentment but only with determination.
"Dead, I have another hundred years of energy left in me to kick your ass. " says Zeff with a laugh hearing Sanji's claim.
"You gotta always have the last word. " says Sanji looking at Zeff's departing back.
"See he says it's cool, now you can become a Pirate. " as soon as Zeff left Luffy says to Sanji with a broad smile on his face.
"Shut up. " cried out Sanji in irritation before leaving to get something in the kitchen.
"Man he was getting on my nerve, if he was to stay a moment longer I don't know what I would have done. " says Alex with a serious face before taking a bite from the meat on his plate "This is so good. "
"Yeah, it is. " says Luffy in agreement.
"Luffy can you not eat mine and get your own. " feeling irritated by Luffy who is taking his meat Alex says.
"Nah~ this are good enough. " says Luffy shaking his head before eating the rest of the meat in a single bite.
"I know it's good but that's not the problem. " says Alex in frustration looking at the empty plate.
"Then? " asks Luffy with a clueless face before attacking the meat on Usopp's plate.
"Nevermind. " says Alex quickly finishing the lobster and some fried rice that are left for him before leaving the restaurant "Usopp, Zoro please pay the bill for me. "
"Sure but you need to pay back soon. " says Usopp with a nod since he is aware of how Alex was drawing not long ago and not have much in his hand so it's right for him to do as a good friend, but little does he know Alex has already emptied a whole Marine ship not long ago.
"Sure put it on my eternal tab. " says Alex in agreement but inside he makes a note 'Goodluck taking my money. '
"What did you say?" not understanding Alex Usopp asks in confusion.
"Nothing. "

"Big Brother Alex you are back. " as soon as Alex arrived on Going Merry Jonny calls out for him with a smile.
"So what do you think about the food over there? " asks Yosaku with a curious face.
"The food is fine, but the Chefs are just not right in the head. " explains Alex shaking his head man it's worse then shown in the Anime, which restaurant have chef's that hits their customers.
"Well that is to be expected since this restaurant receives Pirates as a customer all the time. " explained Jonny with a serious face.
"I guess you are right about that. " says Alex in agreement if you are not as much as violent as a Pirate then how are you supposed to keep them under check.
"What were you guys doing before my return. " asks Alex with a looking at them when he found them holding their swords.
"We were training with our swords. " explained Yosaku pointing his sword.
"Are you interested big bro? " asks Jonny pointing his sword at Alex.
"Yeah I am interested but unfortunately I have yet to use one. " says Alex shaking his head in regret for not getting the opportunity to use one till now and honestly which Anime fan doesn't want to use one after so many amazing series with swords.
"Don't worry we can teach you how to use one, if you want. " explained Jonny with a smile.
"Yeah and after learning from us you can also get big bro Zoro's help if we leave, since he is better than us. " says Yosaku with a agreement.
"Then I will thank you in advance. " saye Alex with a smile not long after returning from Zoro's room with a wooden sword before asking "So how do we do it? "
"Before we begin you need to understand the reason why you are using a sword. " says Jonny with a smile.
"Yes big bro tell us why do you want to use a sword? " asks Yosaku with agreement.
'That's right why do I want to use a sword, for all I know with my Devil fruits ability I am already someone who can defeat almost any normal swordsman without even lifting a a finger.
But a strong swordsman might be different.
What if I lose my Devil Fruit power or the system stops working properly whatever I need to be strong do I don't lose to anyone anymore. ' after wondering for a while Alex looks at them in confusion before asking "I am not sure but can you first tell me what is your reason, maybe I can understand something. "
"I want to become stronger. " says Jonny with a smile.
"And I want to Punish evil. " says Yosaku with a proud face.
"Oh~ " says Alex in with an understanding nod hearing their answer.
"Yeah what do you think it's pretty amazing right. " asks Jonny with a smile making Alex cursing inside yeah amazing my shit from your reaction anyone can guess you have just made that up right on this spot.
"So what do you think about your reason big brother Akex? " asks Yosaku with a smile.
"I am not sure but if I have to think then I would say I want to become strong as well. " says Alex with an unsure face before turning towards them.
"It's alright big brother Alex if you don't have a purpose now maybe you will have it in the future, so don't worry and focus on your training for now. " says Yosaku with a smile.
"Then why the hell did you waste so much time for? " asks Aled in disbelief looking at them.
"Oh~ that's for motivation anyway now that we are done with the motivation let's begin. " saye Jonny with a nod before asking "First we need to fight and see how much you can handle a sword before we give you any advice. "
"Then what are we waiting for for let's do it. " says Alex with excitement before he takes his position while smiling inside 'Finall all those years of watching Anime are going to come in handy. '
"Begin. " as soon as they took possession Yosaku calls out as they both makes their way towards one another however before Alex can understand what happened he falls on the ground while a notification pops up in front of him.
⟦Ding!
You have began learning swordsmanship defet a swordsmen to learn a random sword style. ⟧
Looking at the notification Alex decided to defet Jonny.
"I guess you are really holding a Sword for the first time if you are so bad. " says Yosaku shaking his head.
"Yeah at first looking at your serious face and the sword stance I was worried for a moment but I never thought you would be this bad. " says Jonny shaking his head.
"Stop making fun of me, I have already told you guys that I am new to this. " says Alex in frustration getting pointed at like that.
"It's alright big brother Alex you don't need to worry so much but you should also stop fighting anyone with a sword because it's best if you train sometime before you try fighting anyone. " advised Jonny with a serious face.
"Yes big bro first learn swinging sword in different angel if you don't want to embress yourself in front of the other swordsman in the future. " says Yosaku in agreement.
"I know I am not good but you guys shouldn't make fun of me so much. " says Alex with anger and the next moment the swords on Yosaku and Jonny suddenly started flying from their hand the next moment it is on their neck making them afraid and call out " We are sorry please forgive us big brother Alex, we give up. "
