A Small Problem

"What happened?"

Sanji's face looked extremely grim. He slowly crouched down and reached toward the shattered plate on the floor.

"This soup took three days and three nights of careful simmering to make, and you just wasted it like that." The moment he reached out, someone stomped his hand hard against the floor.

"What is wrong with you people? Do you understand the principle that the customer comes first?"

"Mr. Fullbody, please calm down first."

The woman in the red dress tried to stop Fullbody, but the man shoved her aside.

The pain she expected never came. Instead, she seemed to fall into someone's arms.

Moyun had been watching the commotion from the side, but when he saw such a beautiful lady about to fall, he couldn't bear to leave her to it.

So he distorted space and instantly moved to the woman's side, preventing her from falling.

Only after the woman had regained her balance did Moyun release her with gentlemanly courtesy.

"If you have a problem, don't take it out on a woman."

Moyun's voice was somewhat cold as he stared icily at Fullbody.

Sanji, standing nearby, widened his eyes in astonishment. He remembered that the kid had been standing over there just moments ago. What kind of speed was that? How had he moved so quickly?

"You little brat, you actually dare to come over here? You were laughing the loudest just now! I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Perhaps Moyun looked too young, because Fullbody did not take him seriously at all.

Fullbody had already raised his fist and was about to throw a punch when a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"I'm here, restaurant! Hahaha!"

An unidentified object charged straight into the restaurant from outside, smashing the entire door to pieces.

With a loud bang, the figure crashed into the wall. His momentum stopped, but a huge hole appeared in the wall.

"Looks like the protagonist is about to make his entrance."

When Moyun saw Luffy arrive, he knew the good show was about to begin.

As for Fullbody, he would leave him to Sanji.

"I want food!"

Luffy stood up from the rubble and patted the dust off himself. He clearly had no idea what had just happened.

A figure rushed in front of Luffy and slammed a kick into his waist.

"What the hell have you done, you little brat?"

This man was the owner of the restaurant and its head chef, Red-Leg Zeff.

"What? Who are you?"

Luffy had failed to dodge and was kicked by the man wearing a tall chef's hat.

"Your leg! I'm sorry! Waaaah!"

When Luffy noticed Zeff's other leg, he was completely dumbfounded. He had just smashed a piece of wood into someone else's leg. Where was his leg?

"Can it still be found? I'm sorry, old man!"

"What are you talking about? This wasn't caused by you just now!"

"Huh? It wasn't? That's great, then. Old man, can you cook? Are you a chef here? I'm starving."

After hearing that Zeff was fine, Luffy relaxed. He looked around and saw delicious food on everyone's tables, which only made him hungrier.

"Tsk, tsk. Luffy's nerves really are thick."

Moyun had thought he already understood him fairly well, but hearing it with his own ears still left him amazed.

If he ever ended up on the same ship as Luffy, he would definitely be driven to his grave.

But they were destined never to sail on the same ship. A ship could only have one captain, and Moyun would never willingly submit to anyone else.

Kuina quietly watched Luffy's figure. So this was the person Zoro had been following. He didn't seem particularly special.

"Kuina, are you ready? Zoro should be showing up soon."

Moyun suddenly turned and asked her.

"Yes. He probably won't recognize me either."

Kuina also wanted to see how much Zoro had grown by now.

"What's the matter with this ship? There are so many safety hazards! I'm going to report you! Don't even think about keeping this restaurant open!"

"What did you say?"

This restaurant was the old man's life's work. How could he just destroy it with a few words?

Sanji clenched his fists, fury filling his eyes and brows.

Fullbody fearfully backed away several steps, his voice trembling slightly.

"What are you doing? What do you want?"

"I have no choice but to finish you off here, so you can't keep causing trouble!"

"You dare!"

Sanji finished smoking his cigarette, then slowly raised his foot and swept it toward Fullbody's head.

"Sanji! What are you doing?"

By the time Zeff noticed what was happening, it was already too late. He had no time to stop Sanji.

Attacking a Marine officer here was a serious crime!

Fullbody fought back at first, but by the end, Sanji had beaten him until his face was swollen and bruised. He lay sprawled on the floor with his rear sticking up.

Just as Sanji was about to deliver the final blow, a silver-haired youth blocked him with his leg.

"Sanji, you'd better calm down. This won't solve the problem."

Moyun pushed Sanji farther away, then expressionlessly glanced at Fullbody, who was trembling on the floor.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

Sanji frowned deeply and silently lit another cigarette. This frail-looking little boy had actually blocked his attack—that had been his full-power strike.

Olvia and Kuina were also somewhat surprised that Moyun had stepped in.

Didn't this kid only selectively help the weak, or help beautiful women?

Yet now he had gone out of his way to stop a man. Suspicious.

"You should be thanking me. If you kill him, do you think the people from Marine Headquarters won't come after you?"

Moyun returned to Olvia's side and quietly looked at Sanji.

But Sanji's attention had already gone astray.

"What enchanting ladies. Even with your graceful figures hidden beneath cloaks and your beautiful faces concealed behind masks, you still can't stop me from falling madly for you."

Sanji immediately rushed over to Kuina and Olvia. He gently took one of Olvia's hands and placed it over his heart.

"You little brat!"

Before Sanji could continue singing the praises of love, Zeff struck him hard on the head several times with his hat.

"You old geezer! Why are you hitting me? What if you frightened these two lovely ladies?"

Sanji shouted, but when he looked up, he saw Zeff's ominous smile.

"You little brat! Do you know you almost caused me a huge problem?"

Zeff's fists began to crack ominously. Sanji wore a terrified expression and scrambled backward several steps on all fours.

"You old geezer, what are you trying to do?"
