A Beautiful Dessert

A grand banquet fills a lavish hall as heroes and allies gather around a massive feast table. Golden light streams through tall windows while attendants in ornate robes stand watch along the walls. At the head of the table sits a composed figure in dark robes. A large speech bubble declares, "ONE I DEDICATE TO THESE HEROES WHO SAVED OUR KINGDOM." Diners eagerly reach for food amid clattering plates and overflowing dishes. Sound effects ring out with "WAAAA" at the top, multiple "BIGGER" labels beside stretching arms and plates, and "YAMMER" near chattering mouths. A red-hatted figure stretches dramatically across the table while others laugh, eat heartily, or pass platters. The bottom of the page displays the chapter title "3. A BEAUTIFUL DESSERT" alongside the logo "Food Wars! SHOKUGEKI NO SANJI" with credits for the One Piece-based story.

Sanji leans forward at the table with a warm smile, holding a knife and fork as he addresses Vivi. "VIVI, ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH TO EATI" he asks, then adds with a glance toward the chaos, "I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT RUBBER BOY OVER THERE." In the background, Luffy has thrown himself onto the floor, scarfing down food with wild abandon. "EAT! EAT QUICK BEFORE IT'S ALL GONE!" voices shout as he snatches bites from nearby plates. "WAH! HEY! LUFFY! YOU TOOK THAT FROM MY PLATE!" "WHOA, WHOA! DON'T WOLF YOUR FOOD LIKE THAT. GEEZ." "EW! DON'T SPIT FOOD EVERYWHERE!" Luffy grins through mouthfuls, "I WANT MORE OF THIS!" while devouring meat and bones amid loud "GOBL GOBL", "CHMP CHMP", "MUNCH MUNCH", and "SKARF SKARF" sound effects. A woman with short hair stands nearby holding a cup, reassuring everyone with a bright expression: "IT'LL BE FINE! CHEF TERRACOTTA WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT." Sanji, now looking concerned, replies, "EESH. WITH HIM PACKING AWAY FOOD LIKE THAT, WILL THE KITCHEN BE ABLE TO KEEP UPI" as more frantic eating noises fill the air.

Vivi sits on a wooden bench in her striped skirt and dark top, legs crossed and hands clasped over her knee, flashing a bright smile with closed eyes as she reassures Sanji. "SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT SO MUCH, SANJI. GO ON AND EAT UP." A close-up shows her winking playfully with a cheerful grin, adding "OKAYI" In the lower panel Sanji stares upward in flustered awe, sweat drops flying and a heart-shaped mark near his head, his thoughts racing: "VIVI! WHAT A SWEET HEART! SHE'S ELEGANT, DIGNIFIED, LOVELY... LIKE A SACRED LILY BLOOMING IN THE DESERT." A large speech bubble continues the scene, "SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO FILL EVERYONE'S TUMMY TO THE BRIM!" while small SFX "KWEEEN" and motion lines emphasize his smitten reaction.

Sanji's eyes light up with inspiration as a lightbulb appears above his head. A woman politely declines his offer, saying, "NO THANKS. I CAN MANAGE." Sanji kneels dramatically with a tray, hearts floating around him, insisting, "HERE, LET ME DO THE HEAVY LIFTING FOR YOU. SAY AAAHN!" Alone at the counter, Sanji clasps his hands and thinks, "I SHOULD WHIP UP THE PERFECT DESSERT FOR NAMI AND VIVI." He smiles confidently, declaring, "Y'KNOWI THIS FEAST IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY." He then excuses himself with, "PARDON ME A MINUTE." Sanji glances around, cigarette in hand, asking, "NOW, WHERE'S THE KITCHENI" while wondering, "...BUT CAN THEY REALLY KEEP UPI THE FEAST STARTED OFF FINE..." In a large panel, Sanji is surrounded by three adoring women. One exclaims, "THANK YOU, SANJI!" while another declares, "THAT'LL ENSURE BOTH OF THEM FALL HEAD OVER HEELS FOR ME. I'M SURE OF IT!" Sanji's face twists in overwhelming delight, hearts swirling as he lets out an ecstatic "DWEEH HEH HEH HEH..."

Sanji leans against a pillar with a cigarette in his mouth, eyes widening in surprise as an exclamation mark pops beside him. A voice from the hallway asks, "...THE KITCHEN MUST BE SHORTHANDED TONIGHT, RIGHTI" Another replies, "WITH MOST OF THE ROYAL CHEF'S STAFF TEMPORARILY REASSIGNED FOR RECONSTRUCTION WORK..." In a grand hall, a hooded steward named Terracotta stands proudly before a cityscape, unrolling a large map marked with a cross. Narration boxes detail the frantic preparations: "RETIRED COOKS WHO USED TO WORK AT THE PALACE... SHE BROUGHT THEM ALL IN!" "CHEFS WITH RESTAURANTS IN OTHER TOWNS..." "...CALLING IN AS MUCH ADDITIONAL STAFF AS SHE COULD." "SHE SENT OUT WORD AS SOON AS THE CAPTAIN WOKE..." Terracotta raises a finger confidently, declaring, "NOPE! CHEF TERRACOTTA'S A PRO STEWARD. SHE HAS THIS COVERED!" A small "SNIF" sound effect drifts nearby. Below, Sanji sits on a balcony ledge, cigarette smoke curling upward, and murmurs "..." as an unseen speaker praises, "EXCELLENT! WE'D EXPECT NO LESS OF THE PALACE MAITRE D'!" Another voice adds, "THEY SHOULD BE ARRIVING ANY MINUTE NOW."

In the elegant restaurant interior, the suited blond man with a cigarette leans back and says, "DON'T WANT TO BE INSENSITIVE." He continues, "I'M GONNA PRETEND I DIDN'T OVERHEAR THAT." Nearby voices remark, "GOING THAT FAR FOR OUR RAGGEDY CREW... I'M MUCH OBLIGED!" and "MAN, CHEF TERRA-COTTA... I'M IMPRESSED!" The man sits on the stairs, pondering with sweat drops as "YAMR!!" sound effects appear. He mutters, "STILL... NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO DOI" and "CAN'T EXACTLY BARGE IN AND SAY 'LEMME BORROW THE KITCHEN.'" In another panel, staff rush as someone urges, "JUST GET WORD TO THE MAITRE D'!" and "HURRY!" while another exclaims, "THIS IS BAD! NOW WHAT DO WE DOI!" Suddenly, a large, furious woman with voluminous curly hair and a headband bursts in holding a frying pan and knife, "DUN!!!" sound effects ringing out. She demands, "WELLI! WHAT'S THE SITUATIONI!" A nervous subordinate replies, "WE GOT WORD FROM THE CARRIAGE BRINGING THE RESERVE STAFF, AND..." and stammers, "ER, Y-YES, MA'AM." The suited man watches from the side with a quiet "...I"

In the desert outskirts near Alubarna, a wagon loaded with supplies has broken down. Several robed men examine the damage as one shouts in frustration, "DANG IT! THE AXLE'S SNAPPED!" Another voice adds, "...THEY SAID IT'LL TAKE AT LEAST ANOTHER HOUR FOR THEM TO ARRIVE!" A third man notes, "RUBBLE MUST'VE GOT JAMMED IN THE TREADS. AND WE'RE SO CLOSE TO ALUBARNA TOO!" Inside a large tent, several elderly men lie injured on cots with bandages and pained expressions. Sound effects show impacts and groans as one man clutches his back. A woman with curly hair, Princess Vivi, stands over them with a concerned expression, hands raised. She says, "THE RETIRED COOKS CAN'T COME ANYWAY. THEY'RE ALL DOWN WITH BAD BACKS!" One of the men replies apologetically, "PRINCESS VIVI, WE'RE SORRY!" Vivi continues gently, "LOOK, I GET WANTING TO WORK HARD TO FIX UP THE TOWN......BUT TRY TO REMEMBER YOUR AGE, OKAYI!"

In the kitchen, a white-haired chef leans over the counter and reports, "REPORT! LUFFY'S APPETITE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN!" as another figure slams a door shut with a loud "SLAM!". Nearby chefs react with alarm. One points forward and exclaims, "THAT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE WORK THAN ANYTHING ELSE ON THE MENU!" while another shouts, "WHATI! BUT WE'RE ABOUT TO START ON THE MAIN DISH!". A massive explosion of food erupts outward with the large sound effect "SHWOOO" and stylized Japanese characters, sending rice balls, meat, bones, and vegetables flying in all directions. A chef wearing a tall white hat grips a huge hunk of meat and declares, "IN FACT, IT'S ONLY GETTING BIGGER!". Below, the stunned kitchen staff stand frozen, eyes wide and mouths agape, as one utters a small "...!" amid floating particles and debris.

In the upper left, a frantic woman with swirling hair and a tear-streaked face shouts desperately, "NO! WE'LL DO NO SUCH THING!" To the right, a short-haired servant in a dark cap sweats and replies, "WE'LL HAVE TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO HIS MAJESTY," while another voice adds, "WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE." A further balloon urges, "LET HIM KNOW THE DISHES WON'T COME OUT AS QUICKLY..." In the middle row, the same swirling-haired woman glares toward an open doorway and corrects herself, "THOSE PIRATES... NO, THOSE HEROES..." Inside the room, uniformed staff react with surprise; one calls out "MAITRE D'!" as another figure peers in with a startled "I!" The bottom panel widens into a dramatic wide shot of the group standing with their backs to the viewer. Sanji stands with hands on hips, Luffy in his straw hat faces forward, and Zoro grips his swords. A long-haired woman on the left declares, "LETTING THEM EAT THEIR FILL AS THEY PLEASE IS THE LEAST WE CAN DO TO REPAY THEM!" while text on the right emphasizes, "THEY RISKED THEIR LIVES......TO SAVE OUR KINGDOM." Motion lines and dust swirl around the determined figures.

The head chef, a woman with elaborate swirling hair and a headband, barks orders at her kitchen staff. "BACK TO YOUR STATIONS, EVERYONE! TOMORROW, NONE OF US WILL HAVE THE ENERGY TO STAND!" Her team replies in unison, "YES, MA'AM!" She presses on with determination, sweat flying: "IT'S UP TO US TO WEATHER THIS STORM AND PREVAIL! WE'VE BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH THE ALUBARNA PALACE KITCHENS." A tight close-up shows a clenched fist sparking with resolve, the sound effect "NOK NOK" ringing out. In the next panel a man with messy hair and a cigarette dangling from his lips leans in and begins, "HEY, UH..." Three figures react with surprise and concern: a wide-eyed man, the same swirly-haired chef now looking tense, and a young girl with a headband who leans forward with wide eyes.

In the palace kitchen, several chefs in uniform react with shock as they prepare elaborate dishes on the counter. One chef exclaims, "YOU...!" while another whispers, "HE'S ONE OF THE PIRATES..." A blonde man seen from behind replies calmly, "ACTUALLY, Y'SEE..." The scene shifts to the same man, revealed as Sanji in a sharp black double-breasted suit, standing in the doorway with a cigarette in his mouth and smoke curling upward. He raises one hand and says, "SORRY TO INTERRUPT." In a close-up, Sanji's hands flick a lighter to ignite his cigarette with a long "ズズゥゥゥゥゥ…" sound effect. He continues speaking, "AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MIND... I HAPPEN TO BE A COOK FROM OUT IN THE EAST BLUE STICKS. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT HOW A PALACE KITCHEN WORKS."

A sharply dressed man with slicked-back blond hair and a scar over his left eyebrow strikes a dramatic pose, one hand clutching his chest as motion lines explode around him. He declares confidently, "...I'LL HAPPILY LET YOU USE ME AS A STAGIAIRE." A small "SHF" effect bursts near his fingers while a large "DOOM!" punctuates the bottom of the panel. In the lower tier of panels, a round-faced character with voluminous curly hair and a headband stares forward with wide eyes. Nearby, the same blond man now wears a simple headband and kitchen uniform, sweat drops flying as he stands among other headband-wearing staff. One background figure states, "DISH WASHING. POTATO PEELING." The curly-haired character leans in with a serious expression, replying, "TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED, AND I'LL DO IT."

In a bustling kitchen, Sanji stands with sleeves rolled up, gripping a knife as he focuses intently on his work. A massive woman with wild curly hair towers nearby, her hand raised as she declares, "DON'T GO TOO HARD ON ME, MA'AM." She responds with a fierce grin, "...I'LL GLADLY WORK YOU TO THE BONE AND BEYOND." "ALL RIGHT. IF YOU'RE VOLUNTEERING..." Large stylized sound effects explode across the page: "オオオオオオオオオ!!" Sanji issues sharp commands while preparing the dish: "...TAKE THE SAUCE AND FINISH WITH MONTER AU BEURRE!" "THE PIGEON ARROSER NEXT! ONCE IT'S DONE..." "START WITH THE ÉCHALOTE HACHÉE!" A female kitchen staff member snaps to attention and replies, "Oui, chef!" Other cooks watch from the background as the intense cooking session continues.

In the kitchen, hands rapidly chop onions and other ingredients with repeated sharp sounds of CHOP CHOP CHOP. Nearby, a blade slices through a long vegetable with a clean SWISH. Sanji leans over a hot stove, smiling confidently as he uses long chopsticks to turn and stir large pieces of meat in a sizzling pan. Thick smoke and oil bubble violently while dramatic sound effects emphasize the intense heat: SIZZLE and large stylized Japanese characters for the searing juices. He grips a cloth in his other hand. The finished dish appears below—a whole roasted bird stuffed and garnished, steaming on a plate. A voice calls out nervously, "R-RIGHT!" while another declares, "IT'S DONE! TAKE IT TO TABLE." A loud BAN!! rings out as the plate is set down.

In the bustling kitchen, staff bustle around a young chef as he works. One coworker exclaims, "AND HE ISN'T FORGETTING TO FLIRT ALONG THE WAY TOO!" The chef himself smiles at a female colleague, saying, "OOH, YOU'RE CUTE. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING HEREI" Another server presents a plated dessert and asks, "HOW'S THIS FOR PLATINGI GOODI" A voice replies, "IT'S PERFECT!" A headband-wearing chef watches closely and notes, "BUT IT'S NOT ONLY THAT. HE'S GOT TALENT, YES." Nearby, a woman with a ponytail adds in surprise, "HE'S LEARNING SO QUICKLY! SOME OF THESE TECHNIQUES SHOULD BE NEW TO HIM, YET HE REPLICATES THEM PERFECTLY." In a large close-up, the blond chef with a loosened tie beams with quiet joy amid swirling steam. Narration reflects, "THAT HE FINDS JOY SIMPLY IN THE ACT OF COOKING. THERE'S A SENSE THAT UNDER IT ALL......HE JUST WANTS TO DO THINGS FOR OTHERS."

In a bustling kitchen filled with steam and chaos, a tall blond man in a white shirt and loosened black tie stands at the stove, gripping a flaming pan with intense focus. His mere arrival shifts the atmosphere as narration reads, "HIS PRESENCE ALONE WAS ENOUGH......TO HAUL THIS KITCHEN BACK FROM THE BRINK OF PANIC." Kitchen staff in the background, including a bandana-wearing cook and a woman with a ponytail, react with surprise and relief. In a sudden close-up, a scarred man with an earring leans forward and shouts desperately, "ALLUBARNA! FORGIVE US OUR TARDINESS!" Nearby, a young girl in a cap stares wide-eyed while another figure holds a small round object. The sequence ends with a door slamming shut, marked by bold "SLAM" sound effects and motion lines.

A young person with light hair stares upward in shock as a large speech bubble declares, "THEY'RE HERE! THE HELP FINALLY MADE IT!" Nearby, an older man with a mustache clutches his chest and cries out, "WE'RE SAVED!" Sound effects like "WAA" and "わっ" punctuate the excitement. In the next panels, a group of determined chefs from Alabasta rush into the scene. One narration box states, "IN RESPONSE TO THE CALL FOR HELP, THE COOKS OF NANOHANA ARE HERE!" Another adds, "TEN CHEFS FROM RAINBASE, JOINING THE FRAY!" A chef with a patterned bandana and striped shirt leans forward aggressively, boasting, "I ONCE RAN A MESS HALL OVER IN YUBA!" An elderly bald chef with an earring glares upward and shouts, "I AIN'T GONNA LET YOU YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS SHOW ME UP!" A headband-wearing chef with crossed arms demands, "TELL US WHAT YOU NEED!" Smaller panels show a figure reacting with "WAAAA" and "ワアア" sounds while reaching for a covered dish, accompanied by the clattering SFX "カチャ... TNK". The arriving cooks fill the frame with fierce expressions, ready to assist in the battle.

In the dining hall, a man with a bandana looks around in confusion. "NOWHERE. JUST WENT OUT TO GET SOME AIR," a voice answers from off-panel. "OH! SANJI, THERE YOU ARE. WHERE DID YOU GOI" a woman with pigtails calls out. "HE WAS HERE JUST A MINUTE AGO," the bandana man replies. "HUHI WAIT, WHERE DID SANJI GOI" another figure asks. The scene erupts into a grand feast as a woman with elaborate curly hair and a confident smirk raises her arms. "OKAY, EVERYONE! IT'S TIME WE FINISHED THE MAIN DISH!" she announces to the cheering crowd. "YAAAAH!" the guests roar amid large impact SFX. She adds with a knowing look, "HMPH. HE JUST HAD TO SWOOP IN AND SHOW OFF, DIDN'T HEI" In the foreground, Luffy in a wide hat devours food ravenously, cheeks bulging with rapid bites. "MCH MCH MCH MCH" sound effects fill the panel as he gulps massively, "GULP," followed by a satisfied "AAAAH... HAAH..."

In the upper left, servants and attendants react wildly as a figure collapses in the background. "HE'S GRACED US WITH AN 'I'M STUFFED!'" one exclaims while another shouts "THE CAPTAIN IS FINALLY FINISHED!" Nearby voices cheer "WE WEATHERED THE STORM!" and "WE DID IT!" amid motion lines and the large SFX "KSAHHH". The top right panel shows a sweeping view of a grand domed palace under cloudy skies as a massive speech bubble declares "I'M STUFFED!". In the middle section a blonde woman with long flowing hair smiles and says "OKAY, GUYS! IT'S TIME TO DANCE!" while smaller bubbles add "YEAH!" and "PHEW.". At the bottom a white-haired man in a patterned outfit kneels and asks "CHOP-STICKSI" as a small figure wearing a top hat replies "N'KAY! I'LL DO IT!" and "EXCUSE MEI CAN I HAVE TWO SMALL STICKSI OR CHOPSTICKS!". Another bubble calls out "HEY, CHOPPER! THE THING YOU SHOWED ME! DO THE THING!" with cross-shaped reaction marks around the exchange.

A smiling young woman with light hair gazes warmly at the viewer. In the panel beside her, a short-haired figure stands with their back partly turned while a suited man with slicked-back hair looks on thoughtfully. Speech bubbles read: "...WITH EVERYONE SITTING TOGETHER, EATING AND DANCING....I COULDN'T IMAGINE A DAY LIKE THIS WOULD COME AGAIN FOR ALABASTA... A YEAR AGO..." A small question mark floats near a doorway as the suited man, revealed as Sanji, bows slightly and presents a covered dish to the smiling princess, Vivi. He says, "...FROM MR. PRINCE TO A VERY SPECIAL PRINCESS. AND SO A GIFT..." Vivi replies from the next panel, "HEY, DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT. I DON'T THINK I CAN EVER THANK YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ENOUGH." Sanji leans forward earnestly, one hand on the counter, stating, "THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE YOU WORKED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, PRINCESS." Below, hands lift a shining silver cloche with a crisp "KAPOK" sound effect as the dessert is revealed.

A lavish glass goblet overflows with Roz Bel Laban, a delicate, mildly sweet rice pudding simmered in milk. Shredded coconut, dark berries, a striped wafer stick, and leafy garnishes crown the snowy dessert. Sparkles and light rays emphasize its purity. Text reads: "ROZ BEL LABAN A DELICATE, MILDLY SWEET VARIETY OF RICE-PUDDING WHERE THE RICE IS SIMMERED IN MILK. AS WHITE IS CONSIDERED AN AUSPICIOUS COLOR, THIS DISH IS OFTEN SERVED DURING NEW YEAR'S FESTIVITIES WITH THE WISH THAT THE NEW YEAR MAY BE AS PURE AND BEAUTIFUL AS THE WHITE MILK USED IN IT. A GIFT FOR A GODDESS: ROZ BEL LABAN ENJOY." In smaller panels below, a blonde woman with pigtails leans in close. SFX: "ふわっ PWUF" and "スワフ SWUF". She inhales deeply: "...THE SWEET AROMA OF COCONUT WAFTED UP." Her eyes widen in delight as she lifts a spoonful: "OOH! THE MINUTE I PUT MY SPOON IN IT... THE CRUSHED ALMONDS AND PISTACHIOS THAT GLITTER ON THE TOP......LOOK LIKE SHINY GRAINS OF GOLD!" She beams, cheeks flushed, holding the goblet: "Oh, HOW PRETTY!"

A blonde woman with a ponytail sits enjoying a beautiful layered dessert. She brings a spoonful to her mouth, eyes closed in delight. "NOM もぐもぐ..." "MM!" A close-up shows the spoon wiggling with the dessert. "WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE". She leans back with a satisfied sigh, "はぁAAH...", then continues eating. "MUNCH" A small puff escapes as she chews. "ぷいっ PUFF..." Her expression softens as memories surface. In a dramatic flashback panel, Alabasta's turmoil unfolds: a muscular warrior swings a massive weapon, a cannonball flies, Igaram stands firm, and Vivi rides a horse with determination. "NOW IT'S TIME FOR ALABASTA TO ACCEPT WHAT HAPPENED..." The woman reflects quietly, "ME, THOUGH... I WON'T FORGET." Below, the group presses onward. "...AND WE MOVE FORWARD WITH RENEWED COURAGE." Back in the present, her face fills the final panel. "SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED. WE ALL WENT THROUGH SO MUCH."

Multiple overlapping images of the same pigtail-haired woman fill the page in dynamic poses. In the upper right, she floats with a joyful expression, arms outstretched, declaring, "I COULD NEVER FORGET THE IRREPLACEABLE FRIENDS I'VE MADE..." A tiny chibi Sanji appears beside her with heart-shaped eyes and a blissful grin. Below, another version of her leans back with a gentle smile, hands clasped, while a third depiction in the lower center stares forward with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth, sweat drops visible. A large hand grips her shoulder from the side. Narration text flows across her flowing outfit: "...OR THE GRAND ADVENTURES WE HAD." Bubbles and sparkles surround the figures, emphasizing a nostalgic, emotional atmosphere as the woman reflects on her bonds and past journeys.

A woman with short hair tilts her head back and drinks deeply, exhaling with satisfaction as the liquid goes down. "はぁ... AHH" "GULP" A smiling woman with her hair in a high ponytail blushes and points to herself, clearly delighted by the taste. "IT'S DELICIOUS." She giggles, "ふふっ" and clasps her hands together gratefully. "THANK YOU!" Towering beside them, a striking woman in an enormous white hat, fur-trimmed dress, and a belt loaded with ornate weapons holds up a delicate wine glass with a confident smile, her long hair flowing as bubbles rise around her.

In a cozy restaurant booth, a blond man in a dark suit leans forward with a charming smile and asks, "IF I MAY, M'LADY, MIGHT I ASK YOU TO DANCEI" The short-haired woman seated across from him turns away slightly and replies firmly, "NO THANKS." Nearby, another woman watches the exchange with a playful grin and hearts floating around her. The scene shifts to the blond man, now looking flustered with sweat drops and a surprised expression as he points upward. He stammers, "I ONLY HAD TIME FOR ONE..." The woman responds with a nervous smile, "UM, W-WELL, THE KITCHEN WAS WAY BUSIER THAN I EXPECTED!" He continues earnestly, "OKAY, UM, THEN WHEN WE'RE BACK ON THE MERRY GO, I'LL WHIP UP A SPECIAL DESSERT JUST FOR YOU. OKAYI PLEASEI" She leans on her hands and answers, "I'M SO FULL I COULDN'T EAT ANOTHER BITE." Another voice chimes in, "I-I'LL GO MAKE YOU ONE RIGHT NOW." The woman glances aside and says, "UH-HUH. NONE FOR ME, HUHI" A large "URK" sound effect and Japanese SFX emphasize his sudden reaction.

At a table, a smiling woman with a ponytail watches as Sanji leans forward with wide eyes and an open mouth, shouting "DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY YOU WERE STUFFEDI!" A drooling figure in a straw hat replies from the side, "DESSERTI SOUNDS YUMMY..." Below, a wild masked figure wearing a top hat with antlers bursts into uproarious laughter "WA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA" while gesturing wildly and yelling "SANJI! WHAT'RE YOU JUST SITTING AROUND FORI HAVE SOME FUN!" In a close-up, Sanji calmly lights his cigarette with a lighter, producing a sharp "FSK" spark as he exhales, his eyes half-closed in quiet focus amid the surrounding chaos.

In a bustling dining hall lined with tall arched windows, chaos erupts as a loud "WAAA" and trailing "アアア.." sound effect fills the air. At the center, Sanji leans back with a wide, ecstatic grin, cigarette clenched between his teeth and one eye winking shut. His arms are thrown upward in wild excitement, one hand pressed dramatically to his chest. To his right, a short-haired woman smiles brightly while clutching several plates of food. On the left, another figure with long hair raises both hands against the wall in surprise. A top-hatted patron and a small horned creature-like hand appear on the far right, adding to the frenzied atmosphere as plates and table settings shake from the sudden outburst.

In a spacious kitchen with stone floors and large barrels, a woman in a polka-dot dress stands at a counter while a suited man gestures toward her. Background figures watch the exchange. "AH. SO YOU'RE LEAVING ALREADYI" she asks. "WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THE MILITARY'S UP TO TOO," another voice adds. The man replies, "YEAH. THE CAPTAIN'S AWAKE NOW." The woman leans in with a slight smile, "OH, BEFORE YOU GO... YOU WERE INTERESTED IN THE RECIPE FOR KONAFA, RIGHTI WITH YOUR SKILL, YOU COULD PROBABLY MASTER THE OTHERS TOO." In a close-up, she extends a thick, worn cookbook toward him, declaring with wide eyes and an eager grin, "THIS IS A COPY OF THE PALACE'S SECRET COOKBOOK OF ALABASTAN RECIPES." "HERE. TAKE IT," she offers, holding the zipper pouch open as the man reaches for it.

In a spice shop overflowing with bulging sacks, the merchant gestures enthusiastically and calls out, "PLEASE, TAKE A FEW SPICES WITH YOU!" A horned figure viewed from behind answers, "JUST A SMALL PORTION IS FINE." Another voice adds, "UM, I DON'T NEED THAT MUCH." SFX: TA-DA! and どっさり as the generous pile is revealed. In close-up, a light-haired man with a cigarette in his mouth bows slightly and says, "...MADAM TERRA-COTTA! I HUMBLY ACCEPT YOUR GENEROUS GIFT..." From behind, the same man waves farewell through an arched doorway while declaring, "AFTER WE'VE FINISHED MAKING A FULL CIRCUIT OF THE GRAND LINE. WHEN I RUN OUT, WE'LL DROP BY AGAIN..." A separate panel shows a detailed view of the moon. In the final panel the curly-haired woman smirks and utters "HEH." beside a smiling short-haired girl, with a mustached man visible behind them.

A hooded figure with light hair, a goatee, and a cigarette in his mouth adjusts the scarf around his neck with both hands. Sanji glances to the side as a voice calls out from off-panel, "SANJI, WHAT'S THE HOLDUPI! LET'S MOVE!" He replies calmly, "RIGHT. SORRY." In the wide lower panel, a group of cloaked figures runs across a barren, rocky landscape under a cloudy sky, their forms small against the horizon. Footsteps echo with repeated "DM DM DM DM..." sound effects. Speech bubbles praise the departing figure: "...AN INCREDIBLE CHEF!" "HE REALLY IS..." "WE'RE OFF!" The page ends with a black banner reading "Chapter 3 - End."
