- Page 10
The scene shifts inside the elegant, bustling dining room of the Baratie. Customers are dining at various tables, whispering and gossiping about the distinguished guest. One customer says, "LOOK, THE ONE SITTING OVER THERE IS LT. FULLBODY..." and another responds, "NO WAY, A MARINE LIEUTENANT IS EATING HERE?" A woman admires him, saying, "LOOK HOW GRACEFUL HE IS..." Fullbody sits at a table with his elegant female companion. She smiles and says, "AMAZING, YOU'RE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION." Fullbody raises his glass, replying smoothly, "OH PLEASE, I'M SURE THEY'RE ALL LOOKING AT YOU." He takes a sniff of his red wine and boasts, "MM! THIS DELICATE SCENT! IT MUST BE FROM MICQUEOT OF THE NORTHERN LANDS! AND THIS SLIGHT SOURNESS MIXED WITH A THICK, DRY TASTE... THIS WINE MUST BE... ITELZBULGER STEIN! AM I WRONG, WAITER!?

A blonde waiter wearing a black suit and tie, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, stands by the table holding a bowl of soup. He looks down at Fullbody and says flatly, "NOT EVEN CLOSE, SIR." Fullbody freezes in shock. The waiter continues, "OH AND BY THE WAY, I'M ACTUALLY THE ASSISTANT HEAD CHEF. I'M ONLY TEMPORARILY FILLING IN FOR THE WAITERS WHO ALL RAN AWAY YESTERDAY. HERE'S YOUR SOUP, SIR. PLEASE ENJOY IT WHILE IT'S STILL HOT!" A text box introduces him: "RESTAURANT ON THE SEA'S ASSISTANT HEAD CHEF, SANJI". Nearby customers begin snickering and laughing at Fullbody's failed attempt to show off. One customer whispers, "B-BUT HE WAS SO SURE OF HIMSELF! PFFT!" while another says, "HEY, DON'T LAUGH!" Fullbody sweats and trembles with intense embarrassment and anger.
