Screen 2 — First Impressions of the Food
Sans orders a hot dog, takes a bite, and pauses.
Sans: "Huh… feels like I've never eaten this before. Very good."
Papyrus orders dinosaur eggs oatmeal and reacts with great delight.
Papyrus: "NYEH! DELICIOUS!"
The crew enjoys the feast.

Screen 3 — Sanji Impresses the Crew
Sanji prepares a meal with precision and respect for the sea. The crew admires his skills.
Luffy & Zoro: nod in respect for his fighting skills.
Sanji refuses to leave the Baratie, determined to protect it and pursue his dream of finding the All Blue.
Papyrus: "PLEASE JOIN US, SANJI!"
Sanji: "No. This is my place."

Screen 4 — First Meeting with Sanji
Sanji notices the skeleton brothers.
Sanji: "You two look like something out of a cartoon."
Papyrus: "WE ARE PIRATES!" (starts playing dramatic music).
Sanji: laughs "That's the funniest thing I've heard all day."
The crew laughs. Papyrus befriends the Baratie staff.
Sans sits down and falls asleep quietly.
Screen 4 — Mihawk Appears
The ocean falls silent.
A small coffin-shaped boat cuts through the waves like it's slicing the sea itself.
Zoro senses it first.
Zoro: "He's here…"
Luffy looks confused.
Luffy: "Who?"
A tall man steps onto the Baratie deck, carrying the largest black blade anyone has ever seen.
Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk.
Even Sans sits up straight, sensing the pressure.
Sans: "whoa… this guy's soul feels sharp."
Papyrus hides behind a railing.
Papyrus: "THAT MAN IS VERY… VERY… DANGEROUS."
Zoro steps forward.
Zoro: "Are you Mihawk? World's greatest swordsman?"
Mihawk raises a brow, amused.
Mihawk: "You, with the bandana and broken pride… are challenging me?"
Zoro draws his swords.
Luffy watches silently — he knows this isn't his fight.
Sans nods, not interfering.
Sans: "this one's his battle. let him cook."
The fight begins.
Zoro charges with full force, but Mihawk blocks everything with a knife the size of a butter spreader.
Zoro is stunned — the gap is unreal.
Mihawk: "If you cannot surpass this small blade, you have no chance against the true one."
He unsheathes Yoru, the massive black sword.
The air shakes.
Zoro goes for his final attack.
Mihawk moves once.
Zoro falls — not destroyed, but defeated completely.
He stares up at the sky.
Zoro: "I'll never lose again… until I defeat you."
For the first time, Mihawk smiles slightly.
Mihawk: "Good. Grow strong."
Zoro collapses forward.
Before he hits the deck, Sans uses Soul Manipulation — gently catching Zoro's body in midair with soft blue energy.
Sans: "easy, tiger. you did your best."
He teleports Zoro back onto the deck of the Baratie, laying him safely against the wall.
Mihawk turns, eye narrowing at Sans.
Mihawk: "Soul manipulation… intriguing. You are not of this world."
Sans shrugs.
Sans: "yeah, most people say that."
Mihawk gives the smallest nod.
Mihawk: "Your presence is… unthinkable. Yet you did not interfere in the duel. That earns my respect."
He steps back into his coffin boat.
Mihawk: "Grow stronger, Straw Hats. The world will not wait."
With that, he sails away.
Luffy, eyes serious for once, grips his hat.
Luffy: "Zoro… we're heading to the top."
Papyrus: "AND WE SHALL SUPPORT YOU WITH ALL OUR BONES!"
Sans: "heh. we're not letting you die on us, swordsman."
The moment becomes a turning point for the whole crew.

Screen 5 — The Clash with Don Krieg
Scene: Baratie Deck — waves crash, cannon smoke fills the air.
Don Krieg: "You fools think you can stop the most powerful fleet in East Blue?!"
He slams his golden spear down, shaking the restaurant.
Luffy: "We're not backing down! This is Sanji's home, and we don't let friends get crushed!"
He stretches his arm back. "Gomu Gomu no… Pistol!"
Krieg blocks it with his spiked armor, smirking — but suddenly, bones shoot out from the deck, knocking Krieg's men off balance.
Sans: "heh… looks like you bit off more than you can chew."
He opens a blue eye flame — several Gaster Blasters appear and fire at Krieg's fleet, destroying cannons.
Papyrus: "NYEH HEH HEH! TREMBLE BEFORE THE GREAT PAPYRUS, MASTER CHEF AND BONETASTIC HERO!"
He swings a bone spear, protecting the Baratie kitchen.
Sanji: (grinning) "Not bad, bone bros. But don't mess up my floor, alright?"
Zoro: "Just don't slow down, cook."
He cuts through Krieg's lieutenants.
Don Krieg: "You miserable brats! DIE!"
He fires explosive bullets — but Sans teleports, catches the blast midair, and redirects it back at Krieg's armor.
Luffy + Sans + Sanji:
"Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!" + Gaster Blaster Beam! + Diable Jambe Kick!
The triple impact smashes Krieg into his shattered ship.
Papyrus: "VICTORY FOR THE STRAW HAT PIRATES! AND THEIR SKELETAL ALLIES!"
He strikes a dramatic pose.
Sanji: (lighting a cigarette) "You guys aren't half bad."
Sans: "Guess we're part of the crew now, huh?"

Screen 6 — Sanji Joins the Crew
After the battle, Sanji is moved by Luffy's respect for food and freedom. He joins the Straw Hat Pirates as their cook — with one condition: they must protect his dream of finding the All Blue.
Sans: "Heh… food's good for the bones
The Straw Hat crew sails onward, stronger and with new bonds.
