Baratie

The Baratie (バラティエ, Baratie) is an ocean-going restaurant in the manga and anime One Piece.

Appearance
The Baratie is a fairly large ship. It takes an oval shape, with the normal masts but has a fish as a frontpiece/head. The Baratie has a round bottom. A small array of cannons are lined on the sides, which can be used for battle. The Baratie also has 3 levels:
 * Lower deck, which is where the main restaurant is.
 * Middle Deck, which is the main kitchen.
 * Upper Deck, where 23 cooks reside.

Features
The Baratie has certain parts that caught the interest of Don Krieg. One main part was that the Baratie has "fins". The bottom of the ship was rounded, and could be extended into "fins" or a battle deck. Also, the fish head of the ship can be detached to make the mobile attack unit Sabagashira. Similar to a pedal boat, it is covered and made out of metal. Cannons are stationed inside of the fish's mouth.

History
The Baratie was attacked by Don Krieg's Pirate Armada after Sanji gave Gin some food. Gin responded by taking the Armada to the Baratie, as the Armada was starving to death. After Zeff gave Krieg some food, which the cooks of the Baratie wouldn't do, Krieg attempted to capture the Baratie, saying that it would be the perfect disguise to attack towns and other ships. The cooks began to prepare themselves against the Wolves of the Sea, the nickname given to the Armarda and Krieg's weapon arsenal. Afterwards, after a hard long battle between Krieg and Luffy, the Baratie was won back.

Battles
Many battles took place during the battle between Don Krieg's Pirate Armarda and the Cooks of the Baratie.
 * Luffy vs. Don Krieg
 * Sanji vs. Gin
