A large piece of debris from a ship is violently kicked away, flying through the air with a loud "BAM" and "CRASH!". On the deck of the Baratie, the cooks are engaged in a fierce battle with the Krieg Pirates. A cook holding a spiked club looks on in shock and yells, "HE KICKED AWAY THAT WEIRD-ASS SHIP!" Another cook nearby stammers, "W-WHAT STRENGTH...!" Monkey D. Luffy, watching the scene with a wide smile, says, "NOT BAD!" Zeff, observing with a stern expression, remains silent: "........." Roronoa Zoro, looking impressed, comments, "THAT KICKING TECHNIQUE...!" Page 8: Patty and Carne, looking furious and comical with their mouths wide open in exaggerated anger, yell at Sanji.

Sanji, standing calmly and smoking a cigarette, simply replies, "YEAH." Patty and Carne point aggressively at him, "SO WHY DON'CHA SCRAM BACK INTO SOME OTHER KITCHEN ON LAND!" Sanji retorts coolly, "POWERFUL? HA! EVEN IF YOU HOLD WEAPONS, A COOK'S STILL A COOK." In the background, a defeated pirate lies groaning on the deck.

Another shouts proudly, "WE'RE PIRATES OF DON KRIEG, THE RULER OF EAST BLUE!" The Baratie cooks look terrified and intimidated by their presence. "SHIT... THESE GUYS ARE STRONG...!"
