Ep. 21

Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

After eating Sanji's meal, Gin regains enough strength to return to Don Krieg's damaged flagship. Luffy continues asking Sanji to join his crew, but the cook refuses and clashes with the other Baratie chefs. Sanji's habit of feeding anyone who is starving earns their respect even when they mock his cooking or temper. Fullbody tries to arrest Gin, only to be defeated and humiliated. Gin explains that Krieg's fifty-ship fleet entered the Grand Line and was almost completely destroyed within a week by a single mysterious opponent. Despite his captain's reputation for betrayal and ruthless tactics, Gin remains loyal and promises not to reveal Baratie's location. He then leaves in Fullbody's boat. Luffy begins working as a chore boy to repay the restaurant damage, proving comically unsuited to kitchen duty. Patty and Carne make him perform exhausting tasks while Zeff refuses to reduce his debt. Sanji quietly watches the sea, and his conversations hint that he has a personal dream connected to the legendary All Blue. The crew's peaceful stop ends when a massive, battered pirate ship appears on the horizon.
