The Baratie cooks are furious. Patty demands, "SIR! HOW COULD YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SIDE WITH SANJI ON THIS!?" Carne yells, "JUST WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Others join in, blaming Sanji for putting the restaurant in danger. Zeff silences them, shouting, "SILENCE, YOU NUMBSKULLS!" He turns to Sanji and asks, "SANJI! WERE YOU PLANNING ON USING THIS MESS WE'RE IN TO BECOME THE NEXT HEAD CHEF!? OR HAVE YOU JUST COMPLETELY LOST IT!? WHICH IS IT!?" Zeff then asks the cooks, "DO ANY OF YOU KNOW JUST HOW TERRIFYING AND PAINFUL IT IS, TO BE STUCK IN THIS OCEAN, DEPRIVED OF FOOD AND WATER!? HAVE ANY ONE OF YOU EVER BEEN HUNGRY ENOUGH TO DIE...?"
