Eat at Baratie!

"Eat at Baratie!" is the fifth episode of the One Piece live-action series.

Short Summary
Luffy and the gang are tested in their ability to fight together on the high seas. They arrive at Baratie, a floating restaurant, where they encounter Sanji, a young chef with a love of fine dining. A duel on the docks shocks the group.

Long Summary
Garp, Luffy's grandfather, attacks the Going Merry, throwing a cannonball at the ship with his hands, but Luffy deflects the cannonball, causing it to strike the Marine ship's sail. The Going Merry sails into the fog, escaping Marine pursuit. Garp sends one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Dracule Mihawk, to pursue and capture Luffy. Mihawk eliminates one of his victims, pirate Krieg, before going to the Sambas Region after Luffy. When Koby protests this decision, Garp teaches him to adapt his moral ideals to suit the world, as it is unjust and unequal.

Luffy, after smelling food, stops at the sea-going restaurant Baratie. He meets the line cook, Sanji, who has been demoted to a server by the owner, Zeff. Sanji beats two unruly customers with his legs, impressing Luffy. Luffy eats a meal, but is unable to pay the bill, so Zeff orders him to work as a chore boy for one year to pay off his debts. While on break, Sanji tells Luffy about his dreams of finding All Blue, the mythical ocean where the four seas of the world meet. However, a pirate formerly serving under Krieg arrives at the Baratie, starving. He warns of the dangers that lie in the Grand Line, being the only survivor in his crew.

Mihawk arrives at the Baratie, in search of Luffy. Recognizing him as the world's greatest swordsman, Zoro challenges Mihawk to a duel, against the advice of Nami. Dawn arrives and Zoro meets Mihawk for the duel. Mihawk, seeing Zoro as far weaker than him, initially uses only a small dagger to battle him, blocking all of his attacks. However, impressed by Zoro's strong will, he agrees to use his signature sword, Yoru, to battle Zoro. Zoro is defeated and gravely wounded. Seeing Luffy and Zoro's determination, Mihawk decides not to capture them, reporting back to Garp that he let them go.

Episode Notes

 * The live-action episode changes the following:
 * The Gomu Gomu no Fusen is now something Luffy makes up on the spot, rather than being one of Luffy's oldest moves.
 * Johnny and Yosaku are omitted.
 * The Straw Hats getting into a fight with Fullbody is skipped.
 * This means Luffy doesn't become the chore boy after deflecting Fullbody's cannonball into the Baratie and wounding Zeff. He becomes the chore boy because he didn't pay the bill for his meal.
 * Fullbody now fights with Sanji, where in the manga and anime, he gets into an argument with Sanji.
 * Krieg and most of his crew killed by Mihawk in the Grand Line and therefore makes no appearance at the Baratie.
 * Mihawk now goes to the Baratie after Garp orders him to, rather than to finish the job with the Krieg Pirates.
 * The Straw Hats now spend a couple of days at the Baratie.
 * The fish head part of the Baratie is now a bar, instead of the detachable Sabagashira I.
 * Zoro challenges Mihawk to a duel at dawn the following day, whereas in the original series, Zoro challenges him to a duel immediately.
 * Luffy's mishaps in the kitchen while irritating the cooks and Zeff were severely reduced.
 * Carne is absent.
 * The live-action episode adds the following:
 * Luffy striking Garp's ship with a cannonball.
 * The Going Merry entering fog.
 * Luffy following a smell to the Baratie.
 * Nami drinking with Zoro.
 * Usopp getting drunk and dancing.

Trivia

 * Pearl's body can be seen lying in the sand during Mihawk's battle with Krieg's armada.
 * The famous "Wilhelm Scream" can be heard after Mihawk cut Krieg's battleship in half with Yoru.
