King of East Blue; Krieg

It has been three days since Luffy and his crew docked at the Baratie, And In these three days Luffy had talked to Reiju many times and also introduced the girls to her. But even the girl's attempts to make her agree to join were failures. So the girls were just relaxing waiting for their captain to wear down the girl.

And to Reiju's surprise Zeff not only didn't deter them but also laughed at her predicament.

On the third day though, when all the strawhats were in Merry, Luffy felt a very big ship With people which was like fifty times of Baratie in size coming towards them. Soon they saw a ship coming towards them. 'Looks like it's time.' thought Luffy. They heard the sound of commotion coming from inside Baratie when they saw the ship and the pirate flag on it. But when the ship came closer they saw the ship was in very bad condition and was on the verge of collapse.

They then Soon saw Gin getting off the ship carrying a large man who had a long overcoat over him. Then Gin carried the man to Baratie.

"You guys go and rob that ship, it is the main ship of the so called King of East blue who had like fifty ships and more than five thousand pirates. There must be a great amount of treasure in there, I will go and check out the situation in the restaurant." Luffy told the group and went towards the restaurant. Ann, Makinoo and Kuina went to Kreig's ship.

When Luffy reached, He saw Kreig on his knees with his head bowed down begging for food while Gin was supporting him and saying things like they had money this time, while cooks were just refusing them as they knew that Kreig would just attack them if they fed him. Soon Reiju came out of the kitchen a big bowl of food. The Other cooks tried to stop her but were not successful in their attempts. She then served the food to Kreig, Who started wolfing down the food at a fast speed. While one other cook told her to take away the food and begin telling her how this man was the sneakiest pirate, how he had become a marine and then killed all of them to steal the ship to become a pirate and how he many times raised the marine flag to enter an island and then destroying it. And how he might try to take over their ship.

Reiju obviously knew that but the cooks didn't really know what her real strength was. And if this guy tried anything she could crush him like a bug.

Then suddenly Krieg tried to punch Reiju. Reiju was ready to intercept the punch, not like it would have done anything to her tough skin. But Luffy came and picked Reiju up and dodged the punch.

Reiju was in Luffy's arm, Blushing at being picked up like a princess. "I could've easily handled it you know." Reiju said to Luffy.

"Oh I know that, It was just such a great opportunity to pick you up in my arms. How could I have missed it?" He gave her a cheeky smile. She blushed even more after that.

Don Krieg looked at them for some time before ignoring them, "That was good. I feel re-energized." Don Krieg commented as looked around the ship, "Isn't this a nice restaurant, I'll take it." The other cooks just shrieked in fear at the proclamation. "My ship is ruined, I need a new one. Leave after you've gotten your things." Gin said to Krieg that's not what you promised. But Krieg just Ignored him and continued, "There are about a hundred men still alive on that ship, All of them starved and preparing food and water for them."

The cooks knowing that those men will eventually attack them, refused to do it. And then Krieg went on and tried about how he was the strongest and such. Reiju Got off of Luffy and started going towards the kitchen.

"Are you going to make food for them?" Luffy asked Reiju.

"Everyone who is hungry is a Customer." She replied simply.

"And what will you do when they attack the restaurant?" Luffy asked her curiously.

She turned her head towards Luffy and replied with a smile, "I will just kill all of them." Then she continued her way towards the kitchen.

'Looks like she is quite a sadist.' Luffy thought.

But other cooks stopped her and stood in front of her blocking the way to the kitchen.

Some time later Zeff came out with a bag full of food. All the cooks protested but he just ignored them and put the bag in front of Krieg. Then taunted him for not getting through the Grand Line.

"You are Zeff?" Krieg said as he heard the cooks call the old man and a smile came to his face.

When Don Krieg heard that the owner was Zeff he got a smile on his face and stated how he knew about the great pirate Red Legged Zeff. Who got his name red leg because How he used to fight with his feet which were used to be red with the blood of his enemy. And now he was nothing more than a cook who couldn't even fight anymore because of losing his foot.

Zeff just replied to him, "I don't need feet for cooking food, as long as I have Hands it's enough. Don Krieg just says what you really want to say."

"I know you are the only person to ever return alive from the grand line, you must have kept a journal of that voyage. I want that journal." Kreig demanded Zeff.

"I do have a journal, but I will not give it to you. It is not mine. It is the pride of our entire crew. It's far too valuable for the likes of you." Zeff just refused Kreig.

"Then I'll just have to take it from you. I am the strongest man there is! These arms are stronger than anybody's. My super alloy armor is tougher than anything and I got a diamond punch which can destroy anything. Don Krieg continued to prattle on how he was the strongest and how he had everything ships, Men and ambition for the Grand line but didn't have any information. And with Zeff's journal no one can stop him from becoming the pirate King.

"Hahahaha.." At this point Luffy started Laughing. "Really you think just because you have a journal a weakling like you would be able to become pirate King." He said to him.

All the cook started warning him and telling him to shut up and that he was not his match or something like that.

"What did you say boy?" asked an enraged Krieg.

"I said you are a weakling and would never become Pirate King as I will be the one who will become pirate King." Luffy told him that.

Everyone was surprised by that proclamation including Krieg.

"This is no game, brat. It may have been a lack of information, but even a fleet of five thousand men was defeated in just seven days! What makes you think you can make it?" Don Krieg yelled at luffy.

Everyone was again surprised to hear that all of the krieg pirates were defeated in just seven days.

Don Krieg then continued "If you insist, shall I kill you right now."

Luffy just put his hand on the sword handle, "You can try if you want to." Then Don Krieg looked all around thinking whether he should attack or not.

"Are we starting a fight Luffy?" All girls came inside the restaurant. They had their hand on their weapons.

Don Kreig looked at them and started laughing at them, "Are these women your only crew?"

"Well there is one more." Luffy replied in a calm tone.

"Don't Count me in." He heard Reiju's Voice from behind.

"I'll take care of you guys later. Right now I need to feed this to my crew." He said picking up the bag filled with food. "For those who don't wish to die, Get out of here before I return. The only things I want are the journal and this ship, but if you just want to throw your life away, Do whatever you want." Don Krieg said and left with food.

"So how much did we get?" Luffy asked the girls, from the smile on their face it was a pretty good haul.

"It is about two hundred million if counted in Beli or maybe even more." Nami replied with a huge smile. 'This girl really likes money.'

Luffy then went to Zeff's side, "Hey Old man how about we make a deal, I will take care of Krieg For you, and then you Convince Reiju to Leave."

"With her here I don't think I need to worry about Krieg. So why would I make a deal like that with you." Zeff said to Luffy.

"Because We both know that you want her to leave from here and live her life." Luffy replied.

Zeff was surprised and wondered how Luffy knew that. Then he just sighed and nodded his head.

Then Ann stiffened all of a sudden, "Luffy someone really powerful person is coming in this direction." All the girls tensed up knowing if someone was really powerful in their opinion then whoever it was, is really powerful.

'So 'Hawk- Eye' is here' Thought Luffy.

Luffy looked towards Gin and asked, "Oye you said that your fleet was destroyed, who it was that destroyed your Fleet when you were in the grand line."

Then Gin told them how it was only one person who destroyed the fleet And how he had hawk-like eyes.

Kuina was really surprised when she heard that.

Luffy was also able to sense a powerful presence coming towards them shortly after.

"Well looks like that guy followed you here." Luffy said to him. After hearing that that guy became almost lifeless. After that all of them went outside.

Soon they heard the Angry cry of Don Krieg. "Oh looks like he found that almost all of his men died and the treasure was stolen from his ship." Ann said with a mischievous tone.

They clearly heard Don Krieg yelling how he would kill everyone and all that for some time. When Suddenly the Flagship galleon of Don Krieg was cut in Half.
