Hey, don't eat my food!

"If you don't mind, lady, these are a few different dishes feature seafood that I've prepared especially for all of you."

Little Sanji skillfully and expertly placed plates, dishes, and drinks on the table in front of each of the women who were there. Yet, he neglected to pay attention to one part of the table.

Luffy asked Sanji with a raised eyebrow, "Is this how you treat your customers?" Even though Luffy was familiar with Sanji's personality, he was still irritated by the situation because he was extremely hungry.

"This is a special tea that I concocted especially for beautiful women, and I'm very happy you could taste it."

Sanji clearly didn't seem to care because he continued to entertain Captain Hina, Nami, Uta and Makino with all his extra care and romantic words.

But of all the women, only Captain Hina and Nami seemed to enjoy Sanji's hospitality. In the meantime, Uta did not appear overly impressed, but she raised the corner of her mouth to suggest she was enjoying Luffy's suffering.

"Hey, kid, don't you want to give Luffy some food?"

Makino was the one who said that, and from the very beginning, she didn't look pleased with the treatment Sanji gave Luffy. Nevertheless, Sanji had gone too far this time, so Makino immediately confronted him with an irritated tone.

The only thing Sanji did was give Luffy an expression of disgust before turning to Makino with a smile and saying, "I'm sorry, but if it's a request from a beautiful woman like you, I can't refuse it."

'I didn't know he was crazy for a woman at that young age,' thought Luffy as he watched Sanji walk away.

The next thing that happened was that Makino gave some of her food to Luffy. Meanwhile, Captain Hina and Nami began to enjoy their meals, and the atmosphere in the Baratie restaurant was significantly busier than usual.

After finishing his two portions of seafood fried rice, Luffy said to Uta, "If you don't want that, I'll eat it." He then proceeded to take Uta's portion, which caused the girl to scream in annoyance.

"Hey, wait, who said I don't want to eat it! Give it back!"

Uta tried to retrieve her food, but Luffy had already devoured it within a matter of seconds. Luffy didn't stop there. He also took some of the rations that belonged to Captain Hina and Nami, which rendered the two women speechless.

'Damn, that kid is really annoying, but the food is really good. My appetite seems to be going up right away,' thought Luffy because the food Sanji served was indeed very good compared to the chefs at Marine or even Makino's cooking.

As if knowing what Luffy was thinking, Makino immediately put on a serious face, and she looked down at the food on her plate, and as if she had made up her mind, she said to herself:

'I must admit that the restaurant's chef is very talented. I will learn to cook at this restaurant to make Luffy like my cooking even more.'

"Hey, you greedy pig! What are you doing! Who told you to eat all that food alone!"

As soon as Sanji, who had just arrived with extra food, saw for himself how this boy with black hair snatched food from other women, he became furious.

But what surprised him more was when Luffy casually took all the food he brought and ate it voraciously without caring about what he just said.

"Hey, Luffy… the food, I also want some more."

Captain Hina, who also seemed to enjoy Sanji's cooking, immediately grabbed some of the dishes in front of Luffy. Meanwhile, Uta, who was still irritated, looked like she wanted to grab the dishes as well, but Luffy stopped her, and the two of them got into a fight.

"Luffy, you bastard! Since when did you get this greedy when it comes to food!"

Nami, despite being able to see the chaos unfolding in front of her, appeared calm as she sat sipping her tea. After a while, she got up from her seat before quietly leaving the scene.

"Hey, get your hands off that lady! Watch out, you disgusting animal!"

Sanji, who couldn't take it any longer, suddenly pointed his foot to the side before kicking Luffy hard in the head. But Sanji didn't anticipate that Luffy could parry the kick before smiling at him and saying:

"weak, your kicks are not strong enough. You should go back to the kitchen and bring me more food."

"What did you say! I don't want to cook for ugly people like you!"

Sanji then performed a spin before kicking Luffy one more time with more force. Nevertheless, after observing that Luffy could easily block his kick again, Sanji performed a series of kicks that drew the attention of everyone present.

"Hey, look at that. Luffy is having a fight with that blonde boy," someone exclaimed.

"Hahahaha, what is that kid thinking? His attacks won't work. He doesn't seem to know that Luffy is a devil fruit user."

"Yeah, but that kid's kick looks pretty strong. Is he really just an ordinary little chef in this restaurant?"

Hearing various comments from the marines around him, Sanji finally stopped when he felt pain in his leg. He then muttered, "No wonder I feel something strange about his body. It turns out he's a devil fruit user, huh?"

*smack

"Sanji, why are you making a fuss! I warned you before not to mess with the reputation of my restaurant! Come! I need you in the kitchen!"

The moment Zeff arrived, he went straight to Sanji and gave him a vicious blow to the head before dragging him into the kitchen. The marines who witnessed this exchange laughed before going back to their meal.

"Luffy, are you okay?" Makino asked anxiously, but Luffy's attention was elsewhere as he yelled while pointing at his table:

"Hey, don't eat my food!"

Because Luffy and Sanji were fighting just now, his table was empty for a while. Captain Hina and Uta took advantage of the situation to eat all the food left on the table. Uta, in particular, appeared very eager to get his revenge on Luffy.
