Baratie part 5
*2 days later, Zoro and the others wait on the Going Merry in a thick fog.*
Usopp: Aaaaahhh! We’ve been sitting here for 2 days now! How long do you think we’ll be here anyway?
Zoro: Who knows.
Morbius: Luffy said he’d stay here for a year.
Usopp: But I’m already bored.
Nami: Oh come on, this place is great. And the food is free.
Zoro: For you maybe.
*Luffy takes out the trash.*
Usopp: Hey Luffy, what are we still doing here? Let’s just get out of this place.
Morbius: Yeah, me and Usopp are getting bored.
Luffy: Just sit tight a little longer. I’m going to try to make another deal with the owner.
Usopp: Well hurry up!
*Luffy and Morbius see something through the fog.*
Morbius: What is that?
*The restaurant patrons see a pirate ship sailing towards them.*
Patron: Oh no, that flag belongs to the fearsome Krieg pirates! We’re doomed!
Carne: I told you they would show up! Are you going to get rid of them or what?!
Patty: This can’t be! He’s got a whole fleet to command! Why would Krieg come get revenge for one guy?! Doesn’t he have anything better to do?!
Chef Peepee: If you're too scared to fight him, then don’t make promises you can’t keep!
Usopp: Guys, I think this is our cue to leave right now!
Nami: Look at the size of that ship!
Morbius: Fighting Buggy, Kuro and the empire is one thing, but this is something else! We barely managed to kill Cthulhu!
Johnny and Yosaku: Big bro, we don’t want to die!
Luffy: That’s a huge ship. You think Gin came back to repay you for your kindness?
Sanji: I seriously doubt that’s it. It’s something else.
*The fog begins to lift as the ship docks near the Baratie. But it seems to have undergone heavy damage.*
Luffy: Did they sail through a storm or something?
Sanji: It doesn’t seem like damage was inflicted by cannons. In fact, the damage doesn’t look man made at all.
Luffy: Maybe it was a typhoon.
*Sanji sees Krieg on top of his ship.*
*Krieg and Gin walk into the restaurant.*
Krieg: I beg of you… I need food… water… we have money… lots of money… please. It’s been so long, I don’t remember the last time I ate… please sir, I need food and drink…
Carne: Huh?
Patty: That’s Don Krieg?
Chef Peepee: What the heck is going on?
Luffy: He looks hungry.
*Krieg collapses.*
Gin: Captain! Please help him! He’s on the brink of starvation! He hasn’t had a single bite for days! He’ll die if he doesn’t get some food!
Patty: Hahahahaha! This is great! I haven’t laughed hard in a long time! The great Don Krieg kneeling before us!
Gin: We have money! We’re here as customers this time!
Patty: You really think I’m that stupid? Get a hold of the marines right away. This opportunity may never happen again. And I’m not going to ruin it by giving him his strength back.
Patron 1: If he regains his strength, there’s no telling what he’ll do.
Patron 2: He’s a cold blooded killer! I say we let him starve to death!
Chef: If he regains his strength, he’ll kill every last person in the restaurant. Yours not getting so much as a glass of water from me.
Krieg: I won’t do anything… Once I eat, I promise I’ll leave quietly. Please be merciful and help me.
Gin: Stop it, Captain! Don’t reduce yourself to this! You’re better than a common beggar! What about your pride?!
Krieg: Please… I’ll take scraps… I’ll take anything. Anything…
Patty: Bo ho for the poor pirate.
Sanji: Hey, step aside Patty.
*He kicks Patty in the face.*
Sanji: He can eat this.
*Sanji gives them some food and drink.*
Krieg: Thank you!
*He starts eating the food Sanji gave him.*
Carne: You nimwit, get food away from him! Don’t you realize he’s a cold blooded killing machine?! He’s known as the ruler of the eastern sea, the most treacherous of all pirates! It all started back in prison, he pretended to be a marine. And when he decided to begin his pirate ambitions, he took command of a marine vessel by killing its officer. He then raised the marine flag in ports and laid waste to the unsuspecting civilians there. He waved the white flag before attacking enemy ships. He would do anything to win.
Luffy: That guy fights dirty.
Carne: He’s also unmatched in combat. You think he’ll just leave us alone? That’s not possible for a bloodthirsty killer like him.
*Once Krieg finishes eating, he elbow slams Sanji to the floor.*
Carne: Sanji!
Chef Peepee: We told you it was a bad idea to feed him!
*All the patrons flee in terror.*
Gin: This was not what we agreed on! You gave me your word! I brought you here because you said you wouldn’t ruin this place! Or hurt the man who saved us!
*Krieg grabs Gin by the shoulder and starts crushing it.*
Krieg: Yes, that was delicious. I feel alive again.
*Zoro and the others see the patrons leave the restaurant.*
Usopp: What do you think is going on in there?
Morbius: Whatever it is, it can’t be good.
Zoro: Why don’t we go inside and find out?
Usopp: Are you serious?!
Zoro: You sound scared.
Usopp: I am not scared!
Krieg: This is a pretty good ship. I think I’ll take it. As you can all see, my ship is a wreck. So naturally I’ll be needing a new one. After a few small chores, every last one of you will leave.
Gin: Captain, you promised! Please!
Krieg: There are about 100 men left on my ship. All are weak from hunger and some are seriously injured. If you value your lives, you will prepare food and water for all of them. I’ve already lost too many men to starvation already. Now bring them over!
Carne: Are you telling us to feed our executioners?! Do you know how stupid that sounds?!
Chef Peepee: There’s no way we’re doing that!
Krieg: You refuse? I wasn’t asking. I’m not placing an order cook, I’m giving you an order. Do I make myself clear?! Don’t defy me!
Gin: Sanji… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen.
Patty: See what you’ve done?! Look what you brought to the restaurant, you stupid bastard!
*Sanji gets up and starts walking to the kitchen.*
Patty: Hey, where do you think you’re going?!
Sanji: To the kitchen. Looks like I’ll be cooking a hundred more meals today.
Chefs: What?!
Gin: Sanji?!
Luffy: Sanji.
Krieg: Good. Hop to it.
*All the chefs point guns at Sanji.*
Chef 1: Tell me the truth Sanji! Are you a spy or something?!
Chef 2: We’re not letting you go anywhere near that kitchen!
Chef Peepee: We’re fed up with you acting crazy!
Sanji: Alright, stop me if you wish. I know it’s no secret that Don Krieg is a terrible and ruthless man. But that doesn’t matter to me. After we feed these men, who knows what’s going to happen. I’m just a simple cook. If someone is going hungry, it’s my duty to feed them. What do you say? Is that wrong?
*Patty hits him over the head.*
Carne: Patty!
Patty: Hold him down! I know you feed free food to the bums I kick out of here, over and over again. I’m not about to argue on who’s right in that particular situation. But in this case, you’re wrong. I can’t let you do things like that anymore.
Patty: We’re going to protect this place. Fortunately, we’ve got numbers on our side. It is Don Krieg, but what can he do against all of us? In this joint, pirates come and go every day. We’re fully prepared to serve any customer.
*Patty retrieves something.*
Patty: I hope you’ve saved room for dessert. Cause I have a secret recipe. That is truly to die for!
*It’s revealed to be a crab themed rocket launcher.*
Patty: Here comes the meatball of doom!
*Patty shoots Krieg, causing a large explosion.*
Patty: It seems I’ve broken the door. I hope Zeff doesn’t yell at me again.
Carne: He might go easy on you, saving the restaurant and all.
Sanji: What are we going to do about all the guys on Krieg’s ship?
Patty: We’ll fry them. Cover the ship in batter and burn the entire thing.
Krieg: Are you a chef or a comedian? Cause your jokes are lame. And that desert was terrible! The worst I ever had!
*The smoke clears to reveal that Krieg is still alive thanks to steel armor with diamond gauntlets he’s wearing.*
Luffy: His body is all shiny!
Patty: Steel armor?! What a dirty trick! Rush him!
Krieg: Die!
*The chef’s try to rush krieg, but his armor reveals 10 guns built into it and shoots the chefs.*
Luffy: He’s got guns all around him!
Sanji: All those bullets!
Krieg: You punks should not have defied me! I am by far the world’s strongest man! Arms made of solid steel! Armor made of wootz steel! And a diamond fist that can pound this entire world into dust! In addition to the weapons on my body, I have a fleet of 50 ships with over 5,000 men! My record is perfect! I’ve won every single battle I've ever been in! I am Don! The only one fit to be called Don!
Zeff: Out of the way, kid.
*Luffy pushes Luffy aside.*
Krieg: When I give you an order, you will follow it! Don’t you ever disobey me!
*Zeff gives Krieg a large bag.*
Zeff: This is about 100 meals. Now take it to your men.
Chefs: Boss Zeff, no!
Krieg: You’re… “Red Foot” Zeff…
