Luffy, Sanji, Baratie cooks, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Gin, Patty, Carne, Dracule Mihawk ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays "CHAPTER 48" and the title "GIVE UP ON THAT SEA". Below, a subtitle reads "ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL. 10 'PARTING WITH A FRIEND'". The illustration shows Buggy the Clown furiously rowing a small raft made of logs with a makeshift patched sail. He grips the wooden oars tightly, his face contorted in an angry, determined yell, shouting "SHYAAA!!". In the background, on a distant grassy shore, several small figures, including a large bear-like creature and a person with an afro, watch him depart. Page 1: Inside the Baratie dining room, Don Krieg stands tall, addressing Zeff. Krieg says, "So you were alive, Red-Leg Zeff... The peerless captain and cook of his own pirate crew." Zeff, standing calmly in his chef's uniform, replies, "So what if I'm alive? It's got nothing to do with you. As you can see, I'm living as a mere cook now." Luffy, Sanji, and the other Baratie cooks watch the exchange closely. Krieg, carrying a large sack of food over his shoulder, looks down at Zeff with a confident smirk. Page 2: Krieg continues his speech, looking amused. "Hahaha... Interesting to hear it put that way... But from the way I see it, you're living as a cook not by choice, but because that's the only thing you can do." Zeff remains silent, his expression stern. Krieg points out, "With the way you are now, you can't wear your infamous 'red shoes.'" A dramatic silhouette illustrates Zeff in his prime, delivering a powerful kick that shatters the ground. Krieg describes the legend: "To speak of Red-Leg Zeff, is to speak of the master of kicking who refused to use his hands in battle! The pirate whose destructive kicks could pulverize bedrock, and leave a clear imprint even on steel!" Page 3: The focus shifts to Zeff's peg leg. Krieg says, "Your nickname 'Red-Leg' refers to your legs, that would be dyed in the blood of your enemies after a fight." Krieg looks at Zeff with a smirk. "Though I've heard from rumours that you died during a shipwreck, it seems that you've managed to survive, though at the cost of one of your precious legs. With one of your legs gone, you shouldn't be able to fight anymore." Sanji listens, his face showing a mix of shock and concern. Zeff holds up his hands, unbothered. "I may not be able to fight anymore but I can still cook as long as I have these hands. But just what are you getting at exactly?" Page 4: Krieg points a thumb at himself, grinning confidently. "Red-Leg Zeff, you're a man who once braved the waters of the Devil's Hideout, the Grand Line itself! Not only that, you returned without injury. You must've kept a log during your time in Grand Line. So what I'm getting at is... Hand over that log to me!" Luffy, standing nearby, looks excited and asks, "Cool, you've been to Grand Line, old man?" Zeff confirms, "Yes. You are certainly correct to assume that I kept a log, and I indeed have it to this day." Zeff's expression hardens as he refuses. "But I shan't hand that over to you. That log is the pride of me and my men who bravely ventured Grand Line together. It's much too valuable to give to the likes of you!" Page 5: Krieg raises a massive fist, his expression darkening. "Then I'll just steal it from you! It's true that I came back defeated from Grand Line...! But even so, I'm still the mighty Don Krieg!" Luffy watches him intently. Krieg continues, his face intense. "That ocean shrouded by darkness, the mention of which alone causes weak men to tremble in their boots...! I had enough power to conquer that sea! Enough manpower! Enough ambition! I simply did not know enough... The only thing I lacked was information! That was my only flaw! Which is why I'll steal your travel log and this ship!" The Baratie cooks look on nervously. Page 6: The Baratie cooks erupt in anger, shouting at Krieg. "Like hell we'll let you! If we lose this ship, we've got nowhere to go!" "That's right! All the cooks here were chased out by other restaurants before finally finding their home in this place!" "Owner Zeff is the only one who accepted us as chefs! He's our saviour!" "We ain't letting you pirates steal our home away!" Suddenly, Krieg slams his fist down, creating a massive shockwave that knocks the cooks off their feet. "Silence! The difference in strength between you and I is clear as night and day! I even proved it to you just now! Don't you dare forget that I'm the strongest!" Krieg points to himself with a fierce glare. "Once I obtain Zeff's travel log, I'll reassemble my pirate fleet, and find One Piece to become the greatest pirate of this era!" Page 7: Luffy steps forward boldly, pointing directly at Krieg with a serious expression. "Hold it right there! The one who'll become Pirate King is me." The entire room falls sile...
