Long Summary
A cruise ship is attacked by pirates from Grand Line. They are the fearsome Cook Pirates with their chef/captain Zeff. Before a storm hit the ship, they hurry to steal every treasure from the ship, however when one of the pirate tries to steal some food, he is violently kicked by his captain who does not permit that. Meanwhile Sanji does not accept this fate and has decided to bravely attack some pirates with his cook knives. He is easily beaten but does not surrender. The young boy does not want to die, until he has realised his dream to find All Blue. When they hear that, every one laugh at him beside Zeff.

Suddenly, the storm is here and a huge wave catchs Sanji who is thrown overboard. When Zeff sees that, he decides to help the kid, due to his respect for the kid because they share the same dream. He jumps into the sea after he has taken the ship mast with him. Short after, the ship is submerged by the storm.

When Sanji wakes up, he is alive but there is only the two of them, neither Sanji or Zeff's crew has come to find them. Zeff explains to him that their ships have sunk and that they have reached a deserted island. They have no choice but to wait for rescue, which they both know isn't likely due to the previous events. They decide to increase their chance by watching the sea from opposite sides of the island. Each of them has a small amount of food that they will have to spare. But when Zeff lets Sanji alone and reaches his side of the island, he starts to cut his leg with a rock.
