Selling Organs to Pay the Bill.

After taking care of Sanji, Zeff looked at Gohan and said, "You are hired! Your uniform will be given to you shortly. As for your sleeping arrangements, there's a room that has been unused for a while, but you have to clean it up yourself. Are you okay with that?"

"No problem, Chef Zeff," said Gohan, but he continued, "But I will only be working until I can pay for the damage and save some money," said Gohan.

"Hm? Temporary worker? Why?" asked Zeff.

"Well, I want to see this world. I want to be an adventurer. I want to go to new places, meet new people, make friends, and enjoy new cuisines. I am so excited to even talk about it," said Gohan. 'And I want to beat up some guys,' he thought.

Hearing that, Zeff looked towards Sanji. Coincidentally, Sanji was also looking at him, but Sanji looked away and walked off. "Stubborn brat," muttered Zeff and sighed.

"Oh yes, do you have books and maps about the places in this world? Can I borrow them, please?" 'This can be a great excuse for me to be knowledgeable about this world,' thought Gohan.

"I have some in my room. I will give them to you after the lunch hours. But remember, this brat, realizing your dream is as difficult as becoming a Pirate King. And before you ask what a Pirate King is, you will know when you read those books that I will give you," warned Zeff. "And you will have to work here for a long time to save money for a ship that could help you sail on those chaotic waters," said Zeff.

"You don't have to worry, Chef Zeff. I am a very lucky guy. I have a feeling I might not be working here for long," said Gohan while thinking, 'I hope.' Zeff didn't say anything else to him and looked towards a man. "George, give him a uniform and menu and tell him about how things work here." Then he looked at Gohan. "Let's see how smart you are, brat. You're starting today's lunch hours, and you better memorize every dish on the menu before that. If you mess up, I will put you on cleaning duty," said Zeff as he walked away.

"Okay, newbie, first of all, there are some rules that you have to follow even in your sleep. Follow Chef Zeff's every order without questioning, don't talk back to Chef Zeff, don't mess up, and finally, anyone who comes in from that door, whether it is a marine, pirate, civilian, or any other being, is a customer that you have to serve. Do you get it?" asked George.

"Yes," replied Gohan, smiling as he followed George to get his uniform and menu.

After some time, Gohan stood at the entrance, dressed in a white shirt and white pants with black boots. "What do you think, Sanji? Don't I look dashing?" Gohan smilingly asked as Sanji walked out of the kitchen.

"Who cares? You narcissistic bastard," said Sanji as he walked out of the restaurant. 'He is such an easy target for teasing,' thought Gohan. 'Now let's just hope that a beautiful girl walks in as my first customer,' as he adjusted his collar.

He didn't have to wait for long as his first customer, or I should say customers, walked in. There were three men with unkempt hair and ugly faces. After looking at them, Gohan's smiling face started twitching. 'Be professional, Gohan, be professional!' he thought to himself as he approached them.

"Hello, sir! Welcome to the Baratie. Let me show you to your table," he said with a smile. "Okay, young man! Take us to your best table. Look, that one beside the window," said the man in the front. One of his teeth was missing.

Gohan took them to that table. "Please look at the menu and tell me what you would like to have," he asked the one with the missing teeth, while the other two looked around nervously.

'Hm? Are they here to cause trouble?' thought Gohan after seeing those two. "Bring this one and this one and this one...." Missing Teeth started ordering.

"Okay! Do you want to order anything else?" asked Sanji. "No! We have to sail right after eating, so we cannot eat too much," said Missing Teeth. 'Cannot eat too much? After ordering enough food for ten people!' thought Gohan but kept a smile on his face.

After that, he conveyed the order to the chefs in the kitchen and started welcoming other customers as the restaurant started to get crowded. But after some time, a commotion broke out. "Hey, you guys have to pay for the food," said George. "But I already told you we don't have money," said Missing Teeth as George was starting to get angry.

"Is there any problem, George?" asked Gohan. "They are refusing to pay after eating," said George. "We are not refusing to pay, but it's just that we don't have money. If you want to, we can wash dishes or do any other chores to pay for the food?" said Missing Teeth innocently, thinking, 'Even if you asked us to do that work, we will just mess things up intentionally and you will have to let us go.'

"Ok, George, I will take care of this. You go and serve others," Gohan said. "OK, dear customers, please try to remember, you might have some money between you guys," asked Gohan. "No, we are sure we don't have money," replied Missing Teeth smilingly.

Gohan suddenly lifted him and asked again, "Now you might remember properly?" "What are you trying to do? Even if you beat us, we can't pay for the food."

'Of course, we have money which we have hidden in our underwear, but do you dare to strip us just for a little amount of money? And if you beat us, we will create a ruckus which will affect your other customers. You have no choice but to let us go,' he thought as he started to laugh in his mind.

'So you want to play, huh? Then let's play!' Gohan thought and started smiling devilishly. Seeing his smile, the trio started to get worried. "HEY! MISTER PATTY!" shouted Gohan. "Why are you shouting, Gohan?" said Patty as he came out of the kitchen.

"These people here have eaten the food but have no money to pay for it," said Gohan. "WHAT??" asked Patty, getting angry as he marched towards them.

"Yes, but you don't have to worry because they desperately want to pay, right?" asked Gohan, looking towards the three. "Yes," they replied innocently. "See! They even want to sell their organs to pay for the food. So, do you know any doctor who can do the operation?" asked Gohan as the color drained from the faces of the three. "Yes, I know a man who can do that. He is a regular and he should be coming soon for lunch," Patty played along.

"Really? That's great! Now you guys can finally pay for your food," said Gohan. 'Huh, only an idiot will fall for tricks like this,' thought Missing Teeth.

"NOOO!!! WE HAVE MONEY!! WE WANT TO PAY!" "YES, WE WANT TO PAY!! PLEASE LET US GO!! BOOHOO.." cried the other two, which left Missing Teeth dumbfounded. 'These morons,' he thought angrily.

"But didn't you guys say you don't have money? You showed me your empty pockets," said Gohan. "WE LIED!! WE HIDE OUR MONEY INSIDE OUR UNDERWEAR!" "YES!! HERE, PLEASE TAKE IT."

They both started taking out money from their underwear. They even put their hands in Missing Teeth's underwear and took out his money. "HEY!! THAT'S MY MONEY!!" shouted Missing Teeth.

"Here's the money. This should be more than enough for the food. Please take it," as they held out their hands to give the money.

Gohan looked at the money with disgust and said, "Mister Patty...?" as he looked around, but Patty wasn't there anymore. 'Bastard,' thought Gohan, but suddenly he saw Sanji walking in. "Sanji, can you take the money from this customer? As you can see, my hands are full," said Gohan as he started cleaning the table.

"Ok!" said Sanji as he took the money. "Thank you! Thank you!" they thanked him profusely and ran away. "Weird bastards," said Sanji as he started to walk away, but Gohan said, "Remember to wash your hands, and those bills as well because those bastards took out that money from inside their underwear," said Gohan with an innocent smile.

Sanji froze in his tracks and started trembling. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! COME BACK HERE, YOU BASTARD!" shouted Sanji as he started chasing Gohan.

"SHUT UP, SANJI! AND GO DO YOUR WORK," shouted Zeff.

Note: Sorry if this chapter feels like a filler. But this one and the next chapter are to establish the character of Gohan so that you guys will know what kind of Gohan you are going to get in the future chapters.

So please continue your support for this novel.

I will try to upload one more chapter today.
