Synopsis
Luffy’s
pirates thought they were just stopping in for a quick bite...but now Luffy’s
been made a busyboy on Baratie, the oceangoing restaurant, and it turns out
some of the worst-mannered pirates on the Grand Line are just dying for a meal.
Always
one to look on the bright side, Luffy sets his sights on Sanji, the
smart-talking, skirt-chasing assistant chef on the Baratie, as the Meey Go’s new cook. But it’ll take more
than a vicious pirate battle and a little sweet talking from Nami to convince
him to leave the Baratie and join Luffy’s team. His oath to feed any and all
pirates in need keeps getting in the way. The question is: what do you do when
the very same pirates you just fed now want to serve you up for dinner?
Catch up....
Monkey D. Luffy started out as just a kid with a dream—and that dream was to
become the greatest pirate in history! Stirred by the tales of pirate
“Red-Haired” Shank, Luff vowed to become a pirate himself. That was before the
enchanted Devil Fruit gave Luffy the power to stretch like rubber, at the cost
of being unable to swim—a serious handicap for an aspiring sea dog. Undeterred,
Luffy sat out to sea and recruited a couple of crewmates: master swordsman Zolo
and treasure-hunting thief Nami.
After
stopping at a seaside village in search of food and a sturdy ship, Luffy and
his crew meet Usopp, a boy who is famous as the town liar. When Usopp happens
upon a dastardly plot to kill local girl Kaya, Luffy and his crew step into an
intense battle against ruthless Captain Kuro and his Black Cat pirates. With
Usopp’s help, Kuro is defeated and Luffy’s crew gains not only new crewmember
Usopp but also a new ship, the Merry Go.
Luffy’s
next quest? To find a ship’s cook, of course. Zolo’s old bounty-hunted pals,
Yosaku and Johnny, tell Luffy and crew about the oceangoing restaurant Baratie.
Unfortunately, Luffy accidentally ricochets a cannonball into the floating food
emporium, and to recompense he ends up working as Baratie’s chore-boy. There he
meets sous-chef Sanji, who will feed any pirate in need and would make a
perfect ship’s cook for the Merry Go...if only he wanted to jump ship!
My thoughts....so were on the restaurant
ship. We’ve meet Sanji, and he’s going to be Luff’s chef—not that he wants to,
but then again, none of them did when Luff first chose them. So...
A big bad pirate comes abroad
wanting food and then he will come back for more—like the whole ship and a log
book of the grand line.
Zolo goes up against the
best of the best swords man, who lets him live because of his spirit and skill,
telling him to come back when he’s ready. Which he wasn’t. And Uposs takes Zolo
and his pirate brother friends off to find Nami who steals the treasure and
boat off Luffy—he isn’t happy about this because she’s he’s navigator and so
they have to go and get her back.
Luffy whose got to work off
damage he’s done to the ship for a year has made a deal with the head chef that
if he fights off the pirate he gets to walk.
Amd so the battle starts
with some impressive leg work from Sanji....
When it continues....the
indefatigable Don Krieg brings out his secret weapon in the form of a shiny
Pearl...but that won’t stop Sanji from protecting his beloved Baratie. It turns
out Sanji owes the Crap-Geezer a big favour. Meanwhile, Luff gets in the middle
of things and tries his rubber powers against the dreadful Don Krieg, but it
all boils down to Krieg’s Pirate-at-Arms Gin, and the ill-fated favour he owes
Sanji.
