At the front porch
"Sanji is late" a chef stated with an impatient look.
"Here he comes..." Yosaku said as he saw Sanji walked out.
Everyone looked at him as he walked towards Luffy and the others as Patty and Carune suddenly sneaked attack him which Sanji easily dodged as he kicked them back.
"Let's go!" Sanji said with luggages on his hand.
"Won't you say goodbye?" Luffy asked with his arms crossed out.
"It's not important" Sanji stated as he was about to jump in the boat but stopped as someone called him.
"Hey Sanji... take good care of yourself!" Zeff said as he leaned on the wooden railings.
Sanji stood silent for a few seconds as he couldn't suppress his emotions anymore and his eyes started turning red and watery.
"Zeff! Thank you... for everything you've done for me!" Sanji shouted as he turned around and kneeled as he bowed towards Zeff and the chefs.
"I will not forget you... for the rest of my life!" Sanji added with tears trickled down in his cheeks.
The chefs started crying as they urge him to leave as they didn't want Sanji to see them like this.
"SEE YOU LATER, IDIOTS" Sanji shouted with a big smile on his face.
...
Sob~ Sob~ Sob~
"How long will you be crying?" Luffy questioned.
"But I'm just very touched from departing from those chef-sempai" Yosaku replied as he bawled his eyes out.
"I thought you've been through these kinds of situations many times" Sanji stated in annoyance.
"I know, right?" Kaito said as he started to get annoyed at his crying.
The four of them started talking to each other to pass time.
"Ah... I want Nami to get back to us soon, so we can go to the grandline" Luffy said with an impatient look.
"Are you sure that you want to go to the grandline with only 6 people?" Yosaku questioned.
"You will be in doom due to your underestimation" Yosaku warned with a worried look.
"I will gather more people in the grandline because it is a paradise" Luffy replied as he ignored his warning.
"Isn't it also a pirate graveyard?" Yosaku refuted.
"Zeff told me that some people called the grandline 'a paradise' before we left" Luffy stated with a wide smile.
"Old man said that? As for me, everything is okay as long as Nami is with me" Sanji said with a perverted smile.
"Well... I just want to go there because it's looks like an interesting place" Kaito stated with a smirk on his face.
"...You guys are crazy! you know too little about the grandline" Yosaku exclaimed in disbelief.
"...and if Zoro knew about that place then maybe he will come back with me" Yosaku added as he planned to warn Zoro about how dangerous the grandline is.
"Do you guys want to eat?" Sanji asked as he ignored Yosaku.
"YES!" Both Luffy and Kaito answered immediately.
"Didn't you listen to me at all!?" Yosaku remarked with disbelief at how nonchalant the three of them are.
Yosaku then explained the system of the grandline at how there is 3 main factors and one of them is the seven warlords of the sea which was granted to legalize piracy.
"Dracule Mihawk, the one who defeated Zoro was one of the seven warlord of the sea" Yosaku stated in nervousness when he remembered how terrifying Mihawk was.
"There are 7 people who are that strong?" Luffy questioned which Yosaku nodded in response.
"Wow! Super! that seven warlord of the sea are so cool!" Luffy added in shock and amazement.
"The real problem is one of the 7 warlords... Jinbei, the captain of the Sun pirates which consists of fishmen and mermaids" Yosaku stated.
"Jinbei left some monsters in the east blue sea in exchange of becoming one of the seven warlords" Yosaku added with a serious tone.
"Didn't it look like this?" Luffy said as he showed them a drawing of an actual fish with human legs.
"Pfft~ Hahaha... yes.. pfft~ hahaha..." Kaito replied as he tried to suppress his laugh.
"That's a fish, not a mermaid" Sanji stated as he laughed out loud.
"Won't you pay attention?" Yosaku remarked as a vein popped in his head.
"The place we are going to is called Arlong Park" Yosaku added with a grave look.
Yosaku then started explaining how powerful Arlong is and how he controls the entire island.
"That's why you came back, right?" Sanji asked as Yosaku nodded in response.
"So... how did you know that Nami would go there?" Kaito questioned as he looked at him.
"We based it on our idea at the direction she headed to and the thing that we've observed" Yosaku stated
He then went on to explain how they saw Nami would always look at the bounty of Arlong as she took their treasure and ran away.
"I think there must have been something to do with Arlong" Yosaku stated with a thoughtful look.
"Maybe Nami has some business to do with those fishmen or she could be a mermaid" Sanji said with a hopeful look as he imagined Nami as a mermaid.
"What did you say?" Luffy asked as he showed him a drawing of a humanoid fish with human arms and a hair like Nami.
"Pfft~ Hahahaha... an absolute masterpiece" Kaito praised as he laughed at his drawing.
"Stop making me mad!!" Sanji shouted in anger.
Yosaku then argued with them at how dangerous and very strong the fishmen are as the three of them just shrugged it off.
"Anyway, let's eat first... what do you guys want?" Sanji asked as he stood up and looked at them.
"Roast beef!" Luffy shouted as he replied to him.
"Some fried rice will do" Kaito answered nonchalantly.
"I want fried bean!" Yosaku yelled in response.
"Got it" Sanji nodded as he went inside to start cooking.
...
As the group were eating, they stopped as a gigantic sea cow emerged out of the ocean.
"What?" Luffy asked calmly.
"Huge..." Sanji commented in a bit of surprise.
"Cute..." Kaito remarked as he looked at those big cutey eyes.
"AHHHHHHHH! MONSTER!" Yosaku shouted in panic.
Luffy, Kaito and Sanji started commenting on the appearance of the sea cow as Yosaku questioned in shock as why a grandline monster appeared in the east blue.
Sniff~ Sniff~
"He's looking at the food, quick... hand over the food to him before he sinks the ship!" Yosaku suggested as he shouted at them.
"Gomu gomu... bullet punch" Luffy stated as he stretched his arms back and punched the face of the sea cow.
"Don't mess with my food!" Luffy shouted as he warned the sea cow.
"You are so great Luffy-sempai!" Yosaku praised in delight.
MOOOOOO~
They saw as the sea cow roared in anger.
"I will hit him one more time" Luffy suggested as he was about to launch another attack.
"You selfish people... don't hurt him, can't you see he is just hungry" Sanji yelled as he urged Luffy to stop.
Sanji then walked in front of the sea cow with a plate of food in his hand as he urge him to eat.
"DIE!" Sanji shouted as he did an uppercut kick at the chin of the sea cow.
"You told us not to hurt him but why did you kick him instead!?" Yosaku questioned as he popped a vein in his head.
"Because that moron ate my food too" Sanji stated as he smoked a cigatette.
MOoooOoOoO~
"He's coming towards us! He will sink the ship!" Yosaku shouted in panicked tone.
"I will finish him" Luffy stated as he pulled his arms back.
"What? no... It's my turn now, you guys already had your fun" Kaito replied as he wanted to join in the fun as well.
"Poker Style... Royal Flush!" Kaito stated as he threw five [Small Explosive Card] which it flew in different directions as it hit the sea cow's face consecutively and exploded which knocked it out.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
"Let's continue eating" Luffy suggested as he sat down.
"It's a very good way to kill time" Sanji stated nonchalantly as he sat down on Luffy's right.
"I agree... I wish there would be more sea cow that would appear" Kaito said with a hopeful look as he sat down on Luffy's left.
"These people are dangerous..." Yosaku commented as a drop of sweat appeared on his head.
