Third Person POV

Baratie, East Blue.

...

...

"He's Gin, from the Don Krieg pirates!" A customer shouted in amazement, echoing the surprise throughout the establishment.

"The most powerful pirate group in East Blue?" Another voice spoke with evident fear, creating a wave of apprehension among those present.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Luffy, who was still laughing at Gin's situation, completely ignored the common customers' despair around him, receiving strange looks from everyone.

"Hey, this guy is crazy!"

"He may be a 10-million pirate, but he's messing with one of Don Krieg's main members."

"He's asking for death!"

"HAHAHAHAH. I couldn't help but find this man's situation funny." Luffy said to his companions, indifferent to the comments coming from other parts.

"You seem to be in a good mood..." Zoro couldn't help but comment on the side, watching the confusion unfold.

"Stop laughing like that; you're attracting too much attention!" Nami yelled at Luffy.

"If Don Krieg hunts us down, won't we be in trouble?" Usopp asked a bit cautiously, voicing his concerns.

Gin, not liking any of this, ignored it for now and walked to an empty table, sitting down and waiting for service. Silence fell over the place once again, at least for the customers, while Luffy squeezed the last laughs out of his throat.

A waiter with a funny expression approached the solitary Gin, a waiter Luffy had not seen before. When he reached the man from Don Krieg, the waiter seemed like a terrible actor, displaying a forced smile and scratching his hands while saying, "Dear customer, how may I assist you?" The clearly weak performance was quite funny in Luffy's opinion.

"Food, just food, and a lot of it!" Gin said desperately.

"Sure, but may I ask beforehand if you have money to pay?" The waiter said, closing his eyes with his smile more forced than usual.

"Will a bullet do?" Gin simply spoke, pointing a gun at the waiter's head.

"So, you don't have a penny, do you?" The man asked, maintaining that strange smile.

*CRACK!*

Before Gin could react, the waiter clasped his hands and connected the pirate to the ground. Gin didn't even realize when he was hit, lying there like a kicked dog.

"OWWW!" The crowd found this surprising.

"PATTY, YOU BROKE A CHAIR, I'M DEDUCTING IT FROM YOUR SALARY!" Zeff shouted from the kitchen entrance, coming out as soon as he heard another commotion.

"That strength!" Kuina found it surprising.

"If you don't pay, you're not a customer!" Patty said, crossing his arms in front of the man on the ground with a fierce expression, much different from what he had until then. Gin was stunned, his stomach growling at this moment, showing how weak he was to react.

"That's right, waiter!"

"You got him there!"

While customers and waiters celebrated, Luffy noticed Reiju once again, next to the owner, simply turning around to the kitchen when Patty grabbed Gin and dragged him through the restaurant.

The waiter Patty simply threw Gin out of the boat.

"That was harsh..." Nami murmured.

"Is this pirate really dangerous, Luffy-Sama?" Shirahoshi asked, showing her concern for the unusual event.

"No, just an ant in this sea, all pirates are weak here..." Luffy simply spoke, his voice echoing through the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. His eyes observed the movement around, while his mind seemed to wander in thoughts.

Meanwhile, Luffy couldn't help but notice Reiju once again leaving the kitchen, balancing a plate full of food toward the restaurant's door. 'So, you behave like Sanji in the end?' Luffy thought, making a connection between the mysterious cook and the former crew member.

While everyone returned to enjoying the delicious food, he saw the waitress and cook return to the kitchen with the empty plate. Without worrying about it, Luffy redirected his attention to his companions, ignoring the momentary commotion.

"And what do we do now? I'm so full!" Yamato spoke, patting her slightly swollen belly directly.

"Can't you behave like a woman at least?" Nami yelled, expressing her frustration with Yamato's carefree attitude.

"What do you mean? I'm a man!" She said clearly, provoking strange looks from everyone around.

As soon as he put the last spoonful of the plate into his mouth, before Reiju could react, Don Krieg stood up and punched the woman who fed him, leaving everyone stunned.

Luffy watched the woman fall backward. He didn't help her because he wanted to see her abilities, but she seemed to be on the same level as Sanji.

Gin, seeing this, demanded to know the reason for the attack on Reiju, the only person who took the initiative to feed them, resulting in a strong blow to his arm from the captain himself.

The man didn't seem to care about his subordinate's questioning. He glared fiercely at everyone present, making his demands.

"I want all the food you have! For all my men over there!" He pointed to the ship.

This left everyone startled, and a crowd of customers began to run to escape on their ships in the docks.

"They're bad people! Shouldn't we run too?" Princess Shirahoshi couldn't help but cry in fear.

"Hm? Why? The salmon is so good!" Yamato said, stuffing a fish into her mouth without paying attention to the commotion.

"How can you be oblivious to what's happening around you!" Usopp grimaced as he shouted at Yamato.

"Hahaha. Don't worry, we have a new guest coming by sea, and I really want to see that!" Luffy spoke excitedly, eager to meet Mihawk for the first time.

"TAKE THIS!" Patty came out with some kind of bazooka, something Luffy didn't imagine seeing in this world, and shot Krieg point-blank.

*BOOOM!* The explosion raised smoke as it subsided, but Don Krieg seemed unfazed by the attack.

"WHAT!" Everyone expressed fear at this moment, seeing that things were getting very bad for them.

"DO AS I SAY, GIVE ME ALL THE FOOD TO FEED MY CREW, OTHERWISE, I WILL DESTROY THIS RESTAURANT!" He exclaimed like a madman and continued announcing his plans.

"I INTEND TO RETURN TO THE GRAND LINE AND PROVE THAT I AM THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD!" He declared.

Reiju got up calmly, a bloodline on her forehead, but she didn't seem bothered by the injury.

Luffy wondered what she would do, and when she headed to the kitchen with the displeasure of her men, shouting at her for feeding their enemy, a hand caught her and stopped her from continuing to walk.

"Hey, why is my cook going to waste food on a dead man?" Luffy casually asked, ignoring the imminent danger.
