Episode 20

"The Famous Cook! Sanji of the Floating Restaurant" is the 20th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
The crew meets Johnny and Yosaku, Zoro's former bounty hunter companions, and they set sail for the Baratie restaurant in search of a cook. Meanwhile, Sanji, a cook at the Baratie, teaches a lesson about food to an arrogant Marines Officer named Fullbody.

Long Summary
Zoro is surprised to find Johnny alone and asks about Yosaku. Johnny recounts what happened that day, how Yosaku fell ill and they decided to rest on a rocky island, when they were "attacked" by Usopp. Nami examines Yosaku and finds that he has scurvy which can be easily cured with vitamin C. Johnny is relieved to hear that Yosaku will be alright in a few days time, and when Yosaku was feeling better after taking some lime, they introduce themselves to the rest of the crew. The crew decided that they need a cook to take care of their diet for their long trip, as they don't want to get scurvy like Yosaku. Johnny suggests that they go to Baratie, the floating restaurant.

On the way to Baratie, the Straw Hat Pirates runs into Iron Fist Fullbody, a lieutenant in the marines who didn't think much of the Straw Hats. As he heads to the Baratie with his date, he orders his crew to sink Going Merry. A shot was fired but Luffy managed to divert it from hitting Going Merry, but due to losing his grip, Chef Zeff's cabin on the Baratie was hit. The Baratie crew drag Luffy to Chef Zeff's cabin. Luffy naïvely thought that Chef Zeff lost his leg from the attack. Chef Zeff sets Luffy straight and wants him to work in his restaurant for a year to pay for the damage done. Luffy disagrees, and gets beaten up by Chef Zeff. Meanwhile, in the dining hall of the Baratie, Fullbody gets into a fight with Sanji, the sous chef.
