Chapter 43 summary
The Going Merry approaches the floating restaurant Baratie with Johnny and Yosaku leading the way. A Marine ship arrives carrying Lieutenant Fullbody, who questions the crew about their flag and quickly defeats Johnny and Yosaku when they challenge him. Fullbody orders a cannon fired at the Merry, but Luffy deflects the shot with Gum Gum Balloon, sending the cannonball crashing into the Baratie roof instead. Inside the restaurant Fullbody mocks the wine selection and is corrected by assistant head chef Sanji, who then ignores him to speak with his date Moodie. Zeff confronts Luffy over the damage and forces him to work off the debt for a year. Fullbody plants a bug in his soup to complain and ruin the restaurant's reputation, prompting Sanji to confront him directly. Sanji grabs Fullbody by the face and lifts him off the ground while warning that going against a cook on the seas is tantamount to suicide and that food must never be wasted.
