The waves rolled across the vast sea.
A luxurious ship painted red and green, with a fish-shaped bow, floated upon the sea.
As white steam drifted from its chimneys, the aroma of food spread across the entire sea.
This was the famous sea restaurant of the East Blue: Baratie.
Inside Baratie, in the clean and tidy restaurant,
people of all kinds were enjoying delicious food to the fullest as melodious music played.
There were elegant nobles, crude pirates, and merchants coming and going.
Of course, besides them, there was also a blond waiter in a suit with extraordinarily distinctive curled eyebrows, darting back and forth among the beautiful ladies instead of doing his actual job. The clear, joyful laughter of the women rang out at the same time.
That continued until an old man dressed like a head chef walked out. Seeing this scene, he shouted sternly,
"Sanji, what are you doing out front? Get back to the kitchen!"
Upon hearing his name, the man called Sanji stiffened all over. In the end, he obediently prepared to return to the kitchen.
But just then, a worker rushed in and shouted excitedly,
"Boss... It's a merchant ship from the Kaya Family. It'll be arriving soon..."
"Oh..."
The chefs in the restaurant, and even the workers, had their eyes light up. They rubbed their hands excitedly, their eyes practically filled with Beli.
The dining customers also began whispering among themselves.
"The Kaya Family? You mean the family that joined the Rainbow Trade Alliance?"
"I heard they've made a fortune these past few years!"
"I'm so jealous..."
"If it weren't for the Marines, damn it..."
At that moment, Sanji had already rushed out with hearts in his eyes, shouting nonstop,
"Is Nami-san coming? Nami-san, I'm coming to pick you up..."
Then he vanished
