## One Piece Chapter 45, pages 18-19: BEFORE THE STORM - Chapter: 45 - Pages: 18-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Gin, Zeff, unidentified Baratie cooks ### Summary Page 18: Sanji quietly gets rid of the evidence: the empty plate and glass splash into the ocean. Gin looks worried, "AH, SORRY. JUST BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME FOOD, YOU'RE GOING TO GET SCOLDED..." Sanji waves him off, "GO, GIN..." Gin rows away. Sanji turns back, holding his hands up innocently. "HOW CAN I BE SCOLDED, IF THERE'S NO PROOF?" he asks. Zeff glares at him, clearly aware of what happened, and calls after the departing pirate, "DON'T YOU GET CAUGHT AGAIN, GIN!" Zeff then barks orders, "SANJI! ERRAND-BOY! BOTH OF YOU GET BACK TO WORK!" Page 19: Inside the restaurant, Luffy stands proudly in an apron, declaring, "I'M LUFFY! STARTING TODAY, I'LL BE THE ERRAND-BOY! NICE TO MEET YA!" The kitchen is a blur of activity behind him ("CLANG CLANG! CHOP CHOP!"). A caption box points to him: "TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED FROM PIRATING. RESTAURANT ON THE SEA'S ERRAND-BOY WORKING WITHOUT PAY. MONKEY D. LUFFY". The cooks immediately start yelling at him. "IS TABLE 6'S DESSERT STILL NOT DONE!?" "WHO TOOK THE ORDER FOR THAT!?" "WASN'T IT YOU!?" "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M FRICKIN' BUSY!?" "YEAH, BUSY SPACING OUT!" "THE HELL DID YOU SAY TO ME, PRICK!?" The cooks are fighting amongst themselves. Three cooks yell at Luffy, "IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO DO, AT LEAST WASH THE DAMN DISHES!" Luffy cheerfully replies, "OKIE-DOKIE."
