The story resumes at the Baratie. A large piece of debris from a ship is violently kicked away, flying through the air with a loud "BAM" and "CRASH!". On the deck of the Baratie, the cooks are engaged in a fierce battle with the Krieg Pirates. A cook holding a spiked club looks on in shock and yells, "HE KICKED AWAY THAT WEIRD-ASS SHIP!" Another cook nearby stammers, "W-WHAT STRENGTH...!" Monkey D. Luffy, watching the scene with a wide smile, says, "NOT BAD!" Zeff, observing with a stern expression, remains silent: "........." Roronoa Zoro, looking impressed, comments, "THAT KICKING TECHNIQUE...!"

Patty and Carne, looking furious and comical with their mouths wide open in exaggerated anger, yell at Sanji. "YOU TRYING TO KILL YOUR OWN SIDE!?" "SAAAAAANJIIIIII!" "YOU ALMOST LOST 2 POWERFUL FIGHTERS, YOU SPAGHETTI-HEAD!" "DID YOUR BRAINS BECOME BOILED INTO STEW, YOU RETARD!?" Sanji, standing calmly and smoking a cigarette, simply replies, "YEAH." Patty and Carne point aggressively at him, "SO WHY DON'CHA SCRAM BACK INTO SOME OTHER KITCHEN ON LAND!" Sanji retorts coolly, "POWERFUL? HA! EVEN IF YOU HOLD WEAPONS, A COOK'S STILL A COOK." In the background, a defeated pirate lies groaning on the deck.

The Krieg Pirates stand tall and menacing on the deck, recovering from the initial clash. One pirate yells, "DON'T COMPARE US TO OTHER PIRATES YOU'VE CROSSED BEFORE!" Another shouts proudly, "WE'RE PIRATES OF DON KRIEG, THE RULER OF EAST BLUE!" The Baratie cooks look terrified and intimidated by their presence. "SHIT... THESE GUYS ARE STRONG...!" "THEY'RE NOTHING LIKE THE OTHER PIRATES THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT BEFORE!" Patty and Carne, furious at their crew's hesitation, yell at the cooks to fight back. "ARE YOU GONNA LET THEM BEAT YOU THAT EASILY!?" "AND YOU CALL YOURSELVES FIGHTIN' COOKS!?"

An off-screen pirate voice yells, "SO JUST QUIETLY HAND THIS BOAT OVER TO US!" Patty and Carne rally the cooks, refusing to back down. Patty yells, "SO WHAT IF YOU'RE FIGHTING COOKS!? WE FIGHT FOR A LIVING!" Carne adds, "10 YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN A COOK! AND 300 RESTAURANTS I'VE GONE TO!" Patty continues, "IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF'EM, I'D GET INTO FIGHTS AND REFUSE TO BE HIRED! THOSE DAYS WERE ROUGH...!" Carne says, "AFTER SEARCHING AND SEARCHING, WE FINALLY CAME TO THIS RESTAURANT!" Patty finishes, "HERE, WHETHER IT BE FIGHTING OR COOKING, WE CAN DO IT AS MUCH WE WANT!" They both charge forward, weapons raised high. Carne yells, "THERE AIN'T ANOTHER PLACE AS GOOD AS THIS SHOP!" Patty yells, "AS IF WE'D HAND IT OVER TO YOU PIRATE SCUM!"

PattyCarneKrieg Pirates

The Baratie cooks clash violently with the Krieg Pirates in a chaotic melee on the deck. Weapons are swung, and men are thrown around. "AGHHHHH!" Patty and Carne lead the charge, swinging their large weapons with full force. Patty yells, "WHAT'S UP WITH THESE GUYS!?" Carne shouts triumphantly, "THIS IS THE POWER OF FIGHTIN' COOKS OF THE SEA!"

A loud splash is heard from the ocean next to the Baratie. "SPLASH SPLASH". Someone is emerging from the water, climbing up the side of the ship. A pirate notices the commotion and asks, "THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING...?" A cook nearby wonders, "WHO'S THIS GUY..." Suddenly, Sanji is seen delivering a brutal kick to a pirate's face, sending him crashing to the deck. "!!!!"

A large, imposing man covered in round shields with pearl-like centers appears on the deck, laughing boisterously. "HAAAA HAHAHA! BEHOLD!" He strikes a dramatic pose, showing off his armor. "MY INVINCIBLE IRON WALL! PEARL!" A caption identifies him: "KRIEG PIRATES 2ND DIVISION COMMANDER IRON WALL PEARL". Patty and Carne are shown lying defeated and unconscious on the deck in front of him. A cook yells out in concern, "PATTY! CARNE! YOU ALRIGHT!?"

PearlPattyCarneBaratie cooks

Pearl continues to laugh confidently. "HAAAA HAHAHA! YOU WON'T BE STANDIN' AFTER MY LETHAL PUNCH!" He boasts, "YOU JUST GOT A GOOD TASTE OF MY SPECIAL 'PEARL PRESENT'!" Meanwhile, a pirate sneaks up behind Sanji, holding a large kitchen knife. "HEY LOOK! THIS GUY'S GOT A DAMN FINE KNIFE ON HIM!" "HEH HEH, DON'T MIND IF I DO. THIS SHOULD CUT BETTER THAN MY KNIFE." Before the pirate can strike, Sanji grabs his wrist tightly. "HM!?" The pirate struggles to free himself, "U... UGH... HEY, LET GO!" Sanji glares at him menacingly. The pirate yells, "LET GO OF YOUR DAMN HAND! JUST FRICKIN' DIE ALREADY!"

PearlSanjiKrieg Pirates

Sanji delivers a powerful, swift kick to the pirate's stomach, sending him flying backward through the air. The force of the blow disarms the pirate, and the kitchen knife flies up into the air. "!!?"

SanjiKrieg Pirates

The pirate crashes violently into Pearl's iron shield, screaming in pain. "AGHHHH!" "GYAAAAAA!" Pearl is shocked by the sudden impact. "!" "W... WHA...?" As the pirate falls, Sanji calmly reaches out and catches the falling kitchen knife perfectly by the handle.

SanjiPearlKrieg Pirates

The defeated pirate lies groaning on the deck. The Baratie cooks watch Sanji in awe. "NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SEE IT, HIS KICKS ARE AMAZING..." Sanji holds the kitchen knife up, still smoking his cigarette. "A KITCHEN KNIFE IS THE SOUL OF A COOK. IT'S NOT SOMETHING AN AMATEUR LIKE YOU, SHOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING." He points the knife towards the remaining pirates. "NOW MAKE SURE YOU KICK THE BUCKET FOR GOOD THIS TIME. I'LL HANDLE THE REST." A cook calls out to him, "SANJI... HERE..."

Two pirates charge at Sanji with swords drawn, underestimating him. "HANDLE, MY ASS! YOU'RE JUST A COOK! YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE US PIRATES ON!?" Sanji easily dodges their attacks and counters with a swift double kick, hitting them both simultaneously. "HM?" "WHA?" "!!?" He then unleashes a rapid flurry of kicks, taking down multiple pirates in quick succession.

A close-up shows Sanji's foot connecting solidly with the faces of several pirates, knocking them out. He stands tall amidst the fallen bodies of the Krieg Pirates. "JUST A COOK? I'LL KILL YOU SCUM..."

Sanji sits down on the deck, resting his hands on his knees. "A COOK'S HANDS ARE HIS LIFE. I CAN'T RISK FIGHTING WITH'EM. BUT DON'T WORRY, MY FEET'LL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO TAKE YOU DOWN." Pearl looks at him, unimpressed. "HAH! TO BEAT UP ALL OF'EM USING ONLY YOUR FEET, YOU STRIKE ME AS A RATHER LAZY GUY... OR IS THAT YOUR POLICY?" Pearl points to himself confidently. "YOU TAKE ME DOWN? I'M AFRAID THAT JUST AIN'T HAPPENING! IN THE LAST 61 FIGHTS I'VE BEEN IN, I'VE WON THEM ALL WITHOUT EVEN SO MUCH AS A SCRATCH ON ME! YOU MAY PROTECT YOUR HANDS IN A FIGHT, BUT I FIGHT WHILE PROTECTING MY ENTIRE BODY. I'VE NEVER EVEN LOST A SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD IN ALL THE FIGHTS I'VE BEEN IN. NOT ONE, SINGLE DROP."

Pearl continues to boast, "THAT'S PROOF OF MY INVINCIBLE STRENGTH! THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME KRIEG PIRATES' 'IRON SHIELD PEARL!'" He smiles smugly, showing off his armor. "AND MY IRON DEFENCE, HAS GOT QUITE THE FASHION SENSE." Monkey D. Luffy is watching the scene from a distance. Pearl notices him looking away. "AIN'T I STYLISH? WHAT'S WITH HIM?" Annoyed, Pearl swings a spiked ball on a chain towards Luffy. "STRAWHAT! YOU'LL GET HURT IF YOU LOOK AWAY IN A FIGHT!"

PearlMonkey D. Luffy

Pearl throws the heavy spiked ball directly at Luffy. "DIE!" Luffy quickly dodges the attack by jumping high into the air. "AGH!" He lands safely on the ship's mast, clinging to it. "OOF!"

Monkey D. LuffyPearl

Sanji suddenly appears and delivers a powerful kick directly to Pearl's head. "ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH TALK FROM YOU. I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY TO FIGHT ME WITHOUT GETTING HURT!" Pearl stumbles back from the impact but quickly recovers, his shields protecting him. "I CAN EVEN WITHSTAND A DIRECT BLAST FROM A BATTLESHIP CANNON! NO MATTER THE ATTACK, I'M IMPENETRABLE!" Sanji lands another kick, this time on Pearl's shield. "ACK!"

SanjiPearl

Luffy watches from his perch on the mast. "WHEW, THAT WAS CLOSE. GLAD I DIDN'T FALL INTO THE OCEAN." He suddenly notices something. "HM?" Sanji also notices something amiss. "HM?" Pearl touches his nose, feeling something wet. "HUH?" He looks at his hand and is shocked to see blood. "........." The Baratie cooks and Zoro look on in absolute shock. "IT'S BLOOD! OH SHIT!" "SHIT..."

SBS Corner. A Q&A section with Eiichiro Oda. It features a drawing of Sanji holding a plate of food shaped like a question mark. The text includes questions from fans and Oda's humorous answers. One fan asks what time it is, and Oda replies it's 12:09 A.M. Another asks if Shanks likes them, to which Oda says "I DON'T CARE!". A fan jokes about eating the "Samu Samu Fruit" (Cold Cold Fruit) which makes their jokes unfunny, and Oda plays along, saying they got a raw deal. Another question asks why the door broken by bandits in Volume 1 was repaired when they left. Oda explains it was the work of a carpenter named "Minatomo-san" who has a short temper and fixes broken things immediately. A drawing of Minatomo-san is shown, holding a hammer and saying "DON'T JOKE AROUND, PUNK!!" and "QUIT LOOKIN' AT ME."
