Chapter 2: The Return

After that, 5 years have passed. So far, everyone has made their dreams come true. Except for choppers. He has not yet been able to find a cure for cancer. Even Usopp managed to become a brave warrior of the seas. Nami and Luffy got together after the One Piece was found. The others on the team thought that Nami was only with Luffy because of the gold. But when Nami gave birth a year later, everyone noticed that they really loved each other and they took the rumors back.

Now they're back at the East Blue. Most have decided to return to their islands with their share of the treasure. Sanji has also decided to return to the Baratie. He wants to tell Jeff and the other chefs about the All Blue, which really exists. So they set course for the baratie.

A few days later they arrived at the baratie. Sanji got off the ship and asked: "Are you sure you don’t want to eat something else?"Nami nodded and replied: "Yes. I want to go back to my island and show Nojiko my map of the world. Besides, she doesn't know anything about Ruby yet."
But Luffy contradicted her: "I'm hungry! And not only me. Your daughter is already starving too."
"You only ate this morning. Typical! Like father like daughter. Okay. Then we'll stop at the Baratie."
With that they left the ship. Zorro, Usopp, Chopper and Robin also went in. Finally, they had to eat their fill one more time so that they would not starve to death until they came to their islands. After all, if Sanji really wants to stay on the baratie, they will no longer have a cook.

Inside, Nami said, "I just hope Ruby will get something from me when she's older."
Sanji changed the subject: "It looks like Jeff has waiters on his ship again."
They sat down at an empty table and studied the map. Then everyone ordered something from the menu.
Only Ruby had to make an exception.She said, "And I want french fries red - white."
The waiter said to her, "I'm sorry, little lady. It's not on the menu."
"I want french fries red - white! I want! I want! I want!"
"I'm sorry. Listen. Why don't you order something from the children's menu and I'll tell the cooks to make it twice as good for you. Okay?"
Sanji said: "Listen to me. The little lady wants french fries - red - white and nothing else. So bring them to her too!"
"I'm sorry, sir. If we don't have this on the menu, then we can't cut ourselves off because of a guest."
"Then put it on the menu as soon as possible! I thought the guest here was king!"
"It is, too, but ..."
"Listen. If you don't bring us red and white french fries for the little one, the chef will want to speak to you."
"Right away."
The waiter was about to leave when Sanji said: "And tell him, the All Blue really exists."The waiter nodded and walked away, somewhat confused.
Zorro replied: "If he says that to Jeff, he'll know right away that you're out here."
"I don't think so. I think that after 7 years he has already forgotten me."
Zorro and Sanji have now become friends. They put their arguments on hold when Sanji had donated a kidney to Zorro when Zorro's one kidney he still had had failed due to an illness. Since Sanji was the only one who had the same blood type as Zorro, he donated immediately.

In the baratie kitchen

Jeff was sitting at a table in the kitchen planning the shift schedule for next week, which wasn't that easy. Most cooks are on vacation there and he doesn't want to mess it up for them.
Then came the waiter who had taken the order at Sanji's table. He passed the order on to the cooks and went to Jeff. He said to him: "Uh, boss ..."
"Now you don't start on vacation too.I already have enough problems with the shift schedule. The next week will probably not run without overtime and double shifts. "
"No, boss. I don't want a vacation. It's just that a couple of people are sitting outside at table 5 with a child who wants to eat red and white fries."
"You didn't tell them we didn't?"
"Uh, yes."
"Ray, you idiot! What did I say to you when you started here?"
"The guest is the king."
"Exactly."
"But, boss. We don't have red - white fries on the menu."
"It doesn't matter. Our cooks can do everything. I'll go out now and apologize to the guests."
"I should tell you something else."
"You can do that afterwards." Then he turned to Patty: "Patty, make french fries red - white for a little guest."
Patty nodded and started chopping potatoes.
Then Jeff went to the restaurant.
Carne said to Ray: "Well, Ray. You've only been here three weeks and you're as good as quit."
Patty added, "I don't think Jeff Ray is going to quit.""And why not in your opinion?"
"Because next week more than half of them have vacation. Heard Jeff. The next week cannot be got through without overtime and double shifts."
"But definitely after that."
"Probably. The way Jeff is at it, I would believe it."
"One wishes for Sanji back again."
"You don't think yourself that Sanji will come back, Carne? Sanji is a pirate and will remain a pirate too."
Ray asked, "Who is Sanji?"
"Sanji worked here as a cook for 10 years before he decided to become a pirate."
Carne added: "He had a dream. He wanted to find this All Blue. And he was fine with any means. He would even have gone on a naval ship."
At that moment, Ray remembered what the guest had said: "Uh, guys, I think this Sanji is sitting in the restaurant. Anyway, he said I should tell the boss that the All Blue really existed."

In the Baratie restaurantLuffy said, "Sanji, here comes Jeff."
Jeff was just coming down the stairs from the kitchen. When he saw table 5 he knew immediately who it was. He said to himself: "That can't be true. That's Luffy with his crew. He only got a few more members. After 6 years I can still recognize his face. But that also means the Sanji here." is. "
He pulled himself together and went to the table.
Then he said very coolly: "I thought you didn't want to return to the Baratie, Sanji."
Sanji shook his head and replied, "I never said that, old bastard. I just said that I won't be back until I find the All Blue."
"Does that mean you found him?"
"Of course. Didn't the waiter tell you that?"
"Oh, he wanted to tell me that. We'll discuss that with the All Blue later. What's the problem now?"
"Ruby, you tell him."
Ruby said: "I want french fries red - white!"Jeff leaned down to her and said: "Watch out. You go up the stairs and always according to the scents in the kitchen. There you ask for a patty. He's just about to make your fries."
Ruby nodded and got up from her seat and headed for the kitchen.
Jeff sat in Ruby's seat and asked, "Whose daughter is that? Yours, Sanji?"
"That'd be nice. Luffy pushed her way to Nami. I didn't have a chance with her."
Zorro added: "Actually you never had a chance with her. Neither with her nor with Robin."
"Yes, just say it. Pierce my wounds even further. You pushed your way forward, too."
"What do you mean pushed ahead?"
"Well, you're with Robin now. Even though she's actually not your type."
"What are you talking about here? Of course Robin is my type!"
"You're more into a guy like Lieutenant Tashigi from the Navy."
"Lieutenant Tashigi only looks like my best friend from the past.There is nothing more. Or do you think I risk getting my current girlfriend pregnant even though I supposedly don't love her at all? "
"Robin is pregnant? Since when?"
"She is now in her third month."
Jeff changed the subject again: "Wait a minute. Luffy said he wouldn't come back from the Grand Line without the One Piece. Does that mean you've already found it?"
Luffy replied, "We found that 5 years ago."
"Oh that is the reason why there are hardly any pirates left. And why have you been on the Grand Line for so long?"
"We wanted to see the other islands. And by the way we defeated all 7 samurai of the sea. It all started with Crocodile. Besides that, the others made their dreams come true."
"So you've really found the All Blue, Sanji?"
Sanji replied, "What did you think? Do you think I'm just kidding? Of course I found him."
"I was on the Grand Line for a year and didn't find him. What course was he on?Where was he? What did he look like? Do I have to pull everything out of your nose? "
Then the food came and Sanji started talking about the All Blue.

Meanwhile Ruby went into the kitchen and asked a waiter who just came out of the kitchen: "I'm looking for a patty. Do you know where he is?"
The waiter asked her: "What do you want from him?"
"I want to ask him about my meal."
"Go back to the restaurant. When your meal is ready, it will be brought to you."
"Jeff told me to go to Patty's about my meal!"
"You know the head chef?"
"No, but my parents."
"Patty is the one on the third stove."
Ruby thanked her and went into the kitchen. When she found Patty she asked again: "Are you Patty?"
"That's me. And who are you? And what do you want in the kitchen?"
"I'm Ruby. Jeff told me to come to you for my french fries red and white."
"Oh, it's you with the special request. The fries aren't quite ready yet.Please sit down at the table for a while. I'll bring it to you then. "
Ruby did as she was told and sat at the table until her meal came.

When Luffy and his team had finished eating, Sanji said, "I'll explain the rest to you in the next few days."
Jeff asked a little confused: "What do you mean by that?"
"What do you think? I will of course stay here. That means if I can stay here."
"Do you really want to give up being a pirate?"
"Why not? It's boring anyway. All the bad guys have been defeated. Luffy wants to go back to his island."
"As far as I am concerned, you can start again here. We are under-booked next week anyway since most of the people are on vacation. But I have to explain something to you before you start working again. When do you want to start again?"
"Today as far as I can."
"Today
