I Have a Proposal!

He was looking forward to seeing his favorite character, but he suddenly remembered, 'Didn't Don Krieg was supposed to come four days after the Straw Hat Pirates? Is it some kind of butterfly effect?' thought Gohan.

As Gohan was thinking, customers and staff in the restaurant started panicking after seeing Don Krieg. After all, he was famous in the East Blue with a bounty of 17 million berries. But they realized that Don Krieg was walking with the help of Gin.

"Food and water..." said Krieg weakly.

"Please give us some food. We have money!" said Gin in desperation. Sanji was frowning and started walking towards the kitchen.

As Gin was helping him forward, Krieg fell down. "Please give us some food quickly! or Don will die," Gin pleaded. Everyone calmed down after seeing that.

Gohan wasn't interested in the drama; his attention was on Krieg's armor. 'If I remember correctly, his armor should have some diamonds around the knuckles, and if I could get his full armor, then that should be enough to cover the cost of the damage from last week, and I might be able to buy a small ship as well,' thought Gohan as a smile started to form on his face.

As he was dreaming about his ship, Sanji came out of the kitchen carrying a plate full of what looked like fried rice. He got in front of Krieg. "Sanji?" said Gin as Sanji put the plate in front of Krieg.

Everyone started protesting against giving food to Krieg. One of the chefs said, "Don't you know what kind of person he is? He raised Marine flags to loot towns and raised white flags so that he could fool his opponents."

"Yes! He will definitely attack us after he gets some energy back," said a customer. "What do you think you are doing, Sanji? It was such a good chance to get rid of him," said an angry Patty.

'Well, let's see if this past week's training was helpful to him or not?' thought Gohan, smiling. Just as Krieg was done eating food, he hit Sanji with a powerful clothesline. Sanji got hit to the ground three meters away.

Gohan's face twitched seeing that, and he started walking towards Sanji. He bent down next to him and whispered, "Looks like I have to be more strict with your training from now on," with a smile on his face.

Sanji's expression changed, but before he could say anything, Krieg's voice rang out, "This is a great ship. I will take this ship," he declared, while everyone started to panic.

"But didn't you promise not to attack anyone here?" said Gin. "There are about a hundred people on my ship. I want you guys to prepare food for them, after that, you guys can get lost from here because this ship is mine now," said Krieg.

"What! Do you want us to feed them so that they can attack us? No way!" said a chef. "I think you didn't understand me; it was an order and YOU WILL NOT DEFY ME!!!" shouted Krieg as the chef started trembling.

"Sanji... I am sorry! I didn't mean this to happen," said Gin. "YOU BASTARD!! LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE," yelled Patty. Sanji looked at Krieg and stood up. He started going towards the kitchen. "Oye Sanji! Where are you going?" asked Patty.

"To the kitchen. I have 100 more meals to prepare," replied Sanji. "What...? Have you gone mad? Do you want to kill us all? YOU BASTARD," shouted Patty as restaurant staff got in the way of Sanji while carrying all kinds of weapons.

"Do you guys want to stop me? Then you better kill me now," said Sanji with conviction. "Why are you doing this, Sanji?" asked a staff member. "Hm? What they do after they eat doesn't concern me. All I know is that there are about a hundred people starving right now, and my job is to feed them," said Sanji.

"A chef's duty is to feed people if they are hungry; that's all I care about," said Sanji. 'There he goes again, saying all this crap,' thought Gohan with an irritated look.

"Oh, so you don't care what they do after you feed them?" said Gohan as he rested one of his hands on Sanji's shoulder. Sanji knew something was not right from the way Gohan was smiling. 'When did he get there?' thought everyone, as customers had already left the restaurant because of the chaos. "What if they kill innocent people after you feed them? I am pretty sure that he is the kind of person who will kill women and children too," said Gohan with a hint of anger.

Sanji started trembling as he was doubting his principles. "Listen, Sanji, your principles are great; it is a chef's duty to feed people. But one has to be strong enough to face the consequence of his actions," said Gohan as he smiled again.

Sanji calmed down and started thinking. While this was going on, Patty brought out a gun, well, it was more a cannon than a gun, and said, "Move aside, everyone. Even if he is Don Krieg! He is just a single person," said Patty as he aimed the gun at Krieg.

"Now! DIE, YOU BASTARD!!!" shouted Patty as he fired. The cannonball hit Krieg, and smoke filled the restaurant, and Patty started celebrating. Restaurant staff also started cheering, while Gin looked worried.

When the smoke cleared up, Krieg was unscathed and was now seen wearing a full-body armor. "It was such a nasty dessert! I will punish you for serving me that kind of dessert," said Krieg with anger.

Muzzles popped out from his armor. 'Huh? Oh yes! This happened! Well, can't let him shoot these people,' Gohan thought as he disappeared. "Now! Receive your punishment," said Krieg as he opened fire.

But Gohan appeared before them and waved his hand. The bullets stopped in their tracks and started falling down. Everyone's eyes almost popped out seeing that.

As the sound of bullets hitting the ground rang out, people started to snap out of their shocked state.

"He stopped the bullets!! But how?" thought Patty.

"It must be a Devil Fruit ability, right? There's no way a human could do that!" said Nami in shock.

Krieg was looking at Gohan in shock as well. 'He stopped it, how? Is he a Devil Fruit user? No! Why would a Devil Fruit user work in a restaurant as a server? He must have used some kind of trick,' thought Krieg.

"Boy! Do you want to die? How dare you get in the way of me pushing people!" said Krieg angrily. "Don't be angry! I just wanted to ask you something, are those diamonds on your knuckles real?" asked Gohan in anticipation.

"Hm? Why don't I make you feel if they are real or not!" said Krieg as he started walking towards Gohan, intending to punch him. But suddenly, a big sack of

clothes flew at him, and he got hit and fell down.

"Here's the food for your men. Take it and leave," said Zeff finally coming out to confront the pirate. "Chef Zeff!! What are you doing? His men will attack us."

"Yes, please don't do it!" said the servers.

"Zeff? You are Red Boot Zeff!! So you are alive!" asked Krieg. "So what if I am? It has nothing to do with you! And I am nothing but a cook now," said Zeff. "No, you can't be more than a cook seeing as you have lost a leg," said Krieg with a smile.

"You were once a pirate who had spent one year in the Grand Line, so you must have a logbook. I want that logbook along with this ship," demanded Krieg. "So you have also sailed in the Grand Line, old man?" asked Luffy, looking excited.

"Yes, and I also have that logbook, but I will not give it to you because it's the hard work of my crew," said Zeff. "Then I will take it by force! This time we didn't know anything about the Grand Line, so my fleet of 50 ships wiped out in only one week. But once I get that logbook, I will make a big fleet again and find the One Piece. Then I will stand above everyone in the Grand Line!!" declared Krieg.

"No, you can't become the Pirate King because I am the one who's going to be the King of Pirates," declared Luffy. "Do you want to die? Boy!" said Krieg in anger. "No, but I want to kick your ass," replied Luffy.

"Are we fighting, Luffy?" asked Zoro and started taking out his sword. "Yes, do you need help from the great Captain Usopp?" said Usopp while his legs were shaking. "Are they your crewmates? Just three people!" said Krieg while looking at Zoro, Nami, and Usopp. "No! We have two more!" said Luffy while raising two fingers. "Don't count me, you bastard!" said Sanji. 'Don't tell me?' thought Gohan, while Luffy ignored Sanji and said to Zoro, "No! You guys just watch," said Luffy.

As they were about to fight, Gohan got between them and said, "Please don't fight in the restaurant or you will damage it." 'Stop appearing everywhere out of nowhere like a ghost,' thought everyone. "You are lucky, boy! I will let you go for now because I don't want to damage my new ship," said Krieg. Then he looked at Zeff. "Be prepared to hand over the ship and the logbook; I will come back with my men in a while," he said and walked away, taking the big sack with him.

"Why did you do that, Chef Zeff? How are we going to survive now?" said the chefs. "Those who want to fight to protect this place shall remain; everyone else can get out," said Zeff as everyone became quiet.

"This restaurant is our home, and we will protect it!" declared Zeff. Just then, "Old man!" "Chef Zeff!" "I have a proposal for you," said Gohan and Luffy at the same time.
