"That kid did it!" the chefs shouted as they felt the exhilaration of victory while the Krieg's pirate fell in despair.
"Hey Sanji can you go save Luffy" Kaito said as he walked towards Sanji and patted his shoulder.
"Huh... why don't you do it?" Sanji replied in annoyance.
"That's impossible, I lost my ability to swim the moment I ate a devil fruit" Kaito stated.
"Wait... wouldn't that mean that Luffy would drown?" Sanji asked as he just realized it.
"Of course" Kaito answered in a nonchalant look.
"DAMN IT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER!" Sanji shouted in anger as he dashed towards the ocean to save Luffy.
Kaito chuckled as he knew that Luffy is strong and would be alright but he didn't say that to Sanji.
"You're quite a mischevious brat" Zeff stated as he smirked and looked at them in amusement.
"Haha~ aren't you the same" Kaito remarked as he smirked and chuckled.
Sanji emerged out of the waters with Luffy on his shoulder as he tries to wake him up.
Thud~ Thud~
Everyone shook in surprise as Don Krieg suddenly waked up as he started yelling how he always won and whatnot.
Gin dashed towards Don Krieg as he punched his guts which knocked him out again.
"Captain Krieg... we lost" Gin muttered as he carried him on his shoulder.
"Thanks for everything, Sanji-san... and please tell him 'that I'll see you again at the grandline' if he wakes up" Gin said as he glanced at the sleeping Luffy.
"Patty and Carune... bring them a shipping boat" Sanji ordered the two of them as they walked away in displeasure.
"As for you Kaito-san, I hope that someday I'll be able to make you use your power the next time we fight" Gin stated as he looked at him with determination.
"Hehe~ then I wish you good luck on that" Kaito said as he smirked and chuckled.
Gin just smiled as he walked away with the Krieg's pirates and sailed away somewhere on the seas.
...
"WHERE'S MY HAT!!" Luffy shouted as he waked up.
"Isn't it over there" Sanji replied as he smoked his cigarette.
"You must really care about your hat if that was the first thing you said after waking up" Kaito stated as he leaned on a wooden railings and looked at the seas.
"Of course, it was given to me by someone precious after all" Luffy answered with a big smile as he glanced at his straw hat with a nostalgic look.
The three of them talked about what happened after he had fell on the sea.
"Oh! this will be my last day according to that old man's promise... how about you Sanji?" Luffy asked him in curiosity.
Sanji then rambled about how he will stay until Zeff recognized his skills.
"Hey! have you guys heard of the all blue?" Sanji asked with a excitement.
"Oh! I've heard a few stories about it... If I remember correctly, it's a place where all kinds of ingredients are gathered or something" Kaito answered as he tried to remember more information about it.
"That's right, it's every chefs dream to be able to go there" Sanji smiled as he explained about the all blue towards the two of them.
Luffy drooled as he imagined all kinds of food that he can eat there while Kaito had an interested look.
"So... I'm guessing its also your dream since your a chef as well" Kaito asked as he looked at Sanji.
"Of course" Sanji replied immediately as he smiled widely.
"That's nice... compared to my dream, yours is much better" Kaito smiled enviously.
"Oh? what's your dream then" Sanji asked curiously.
"It's a bit embarassing to say but... it's to someday create the greatest magician's show the world has never seen, a show that can make childrens smile as they watch it..." Kaito said embarrasingly.
"A show that can make the people forget the darkness of this world and how cruel it can be... and I can only achieve it if I become the greatest magician there is" Kaito added as he looked at the seas with determination.
Both Luffy and Sanji looked at him silence.
"Haha~ I guess it really is a embarassing dream since you guys didn't react at all" Kaito chuckled dejectedly.
"What are you talking about? I think it's a really amazing dream!" Luffy shouted as he smiled widely.
"I should be the one who's dream pales in comparison to yours... you actually want the world to be happy while mine is just to chase a place that no even knows if it exist" Sanji said as he smiled and continued smoking cigarette.
Kaito just looked at them for a few seconds as he laughed out loud as Luffy joined in as well.
"You guys are really interesting people..." Kaito commented as he continued to laugh.
While the three of them were talking, they didn't noticed that Zeff was observing them above as he smiled and walked away.
...
The three of them walked inside as Sanji asked where's their seat is.
"Hahaha~ just sit on the floor" a random chef suggested.
"Sit on the floor? what kind of restaurant is this?" Sanji grumbled as they still sat on the floor.
"Hey! who made this soup this morning!?" Patty shouted as he had the soup in his hand.
"I did! isn't it good?" Sanji asked aa he smiled.
Patty then smashed the soup on the floor as he mocked it as the other chefs joined in as well.
Sanji and the other chefs started quarrelling at each other as Zeff walked in as he also mocked Sanji's cooking.
Sanji and Zeff argued at each other as they fought and Sanji ranned out of the restaurant.
Kaito just watched the scene silently as he somewhat had an idea why they were doing this.
"This soup is really good tho, why?" Luffy questioned as he tasted the soup.
"We know! if we didn't do this then he wouldn't listen at all" Zeff stated.
"Hey kid! can you take him with you?" Zeff asked as he looked at Luffy.
"No" Luffy refused them with no hesistation.
"What?" all the chefs gasped in shock as they all thought that he would agree.
Luffy then explained the reason why he refused as he didn't want to force Sanji away.
...
"You idiots! I can hear you" Sanji said as he leaned on the door.
Out of nowhere, a giant fish flew towards Sanji as it crashed beside him.
Crash~
All the others inside immediately went outside to check as they saw a man inside the mouth of a large fish.
"Yosaku?" Luffy asked as he recognized him.
Luffy questioned him why was he alone as Yosaku explained that the place Nami went was dangerous as they might need his help.
"I don't understand but ok" Luffy agreed with no hesitation.
"Wait! I'm coming with you" Sanji said as he leaned on a wall with a cigarette on his mouth.
"Since we both have a crazy dream then I'll do what I want from now on... I will be your chief" Sanji added as he looked at Luffy.
"Alright! Excellent! Ah... your coming as well right Kaito?" Luffy looked at him with puppy eyes.
'Ugh... screw it' Kaito complained as he couldn't refused him after looking at his eyes.
"Fine..." Kaito said reluctanly.
Both Luffy and Yosaku danced together as they cheered and celebrate in triumph.
Sigh~
'This is going to be one long journey' Kaito though as he sighed and just accepted his fate.
