Long Summary
Krieg tells us the story from Zeff the Red Leg: once a famous pirate, both chef and captain, his main ability was a powerful kick who gave him his surname. He was supposed to have died in an accident, but he only lost a leg which made him unable to fight anymore and forced him to retire has a chef restaurant.

Since Zeff once went on Grand Line and return safely, Krieg wants the journal written at that time. However he will have to take it by force since Zeff is not decided to lend it, given his feelings to this remaining of his former life. When Krieg states that Zeff's journal will give him the informations he lacked when he first tried to enter the Grand Line, eventually making him the pirate king, this leads to a funny scene with Luffy stating in front of an abacked bunch of people that HE will be the one to be the pirate king.
