Long Summary
Luffy is trying to work out a much shorter time for working at the Baratie then the one Zeff preposes. But Zeff states he did the damage and now must repair it. When Luffy rudely states he won't accept, Zeff kicks him with his peg leg and offers a much faster way of repairing his debt; have one of his legs cut off. Luffy refuses one more and berates Zeff causing the chef to kick at him once more.

Meanwhile Patty is preparing himself to greet customers, although he means well in pratice he is getting everything round the wrong way. To his horror when he finally goes to work, Sanji is holding the bloodstained Fullbody by the neck. The two insult each other before breaking into a fight. However when Fullbody threatens to have the place shut down, Sanji simply states he can't let the Marine live now. The other chefs grab Sanji to prevent the Marine from being killed, at that moment Zeff and Luffy come crashing through the ceiling. The two get up and continue to argue, Zeff's attention is drawn to Sanji as the other chefs plea for his behaviour to stop. After stopping Sanji with a kick, Zeff kicks out Fullbody who comments these chefs are no better then pirates.

At that moment Fullbody's attention is drawn by oe of his men who reports the prisoner has escaped from his cell and 7 of Fullbody's men couldn't stop him. Fullbody dismisses it, stating that he was starving when they found him and had gone for the last 3 days without any food given to him. When the Marine asks for forgiveness, the prisoner appears and shots the Marine to the ground with a single shot. He walks in and sits at a table with his feet up on it. Patty walks up to the man and treats him with repect to the horror of the other customers. When Gin threatens to pay for his food with bullets since he has no money, Patty clobbers the man breaking one of Zeff's chairs. Patty kicks the man about to the cheering of the customers while Fullbody makes a escape.

Outside the resturant, the man lays hungrey, Sanji appears and gives him food. Sanji is happy at the mn's reactions who comments its the best food he has had in his life. Luffy comments on he has found his chef.
