Long Summary
Years ago, 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 pirates tries to steal some food. He is violently kicked by his captain who does not permit stealing food from others. Meanwhile, Sanji does not accept this fate and has decided to bravely attack tge pirates with his cooking knives. He is easily beaten but does not surrender. The young boy does not want to die, until he has realized his dream to find All Blue. When they hear that, every one laughs at him, besides Zeff.

Suddenly, the storm arrives and a huge wave catches Sanji and he is thrown overboard. Zeff helps the kid by smashing the ship mast with his powerful leg. He then jumps into the sea after the boy. Shortly after, the ship is submerged by the storm.

When Sanji wakes up, he is alive with Zeff on a deserted rock. Neither Sanji's, nor Zeff's, crew has come to find them. Zeff explains that their ships has sank and that they have reached a deserted island. They have no choice but to wait for rescue, which they both know is not likely due to the previous events. Zeff informs Sanji he saved him due to his mutual desire to have found the All Blue. 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. Sanji at first becomes angry that Zeff has more food than him. Zeff tells him it is because he is bigger.

Zeff leaves Sanji alone and reaches his side of the island. He begins to severe his leg with a rock and announces this is the end of "Red Shoes."
