The Baratie
arc is the fourth story arc in the
East Blue Saga of the
anime and
manga One Piece. The Straw Hats meet
Johnny and Yosaku, who direct
them to the restaurant ship Baratie, a sort of "floating oasis" in
the middle of the ocean where they meet
Sanji. However, a pirate admiral named
Don Krieg sets his sights on the
Baratie as a replacement for his devastated fleet, and the
restaurant soon comes under siege. It is followed by the
Arlong arc.
The arc begins with the Straw Hats (
Luffy,
Zoro,
Nami
and the newly joined
Usopp)
checking out their new pirate ship as well as designing a Jolly
Roger for it. As a test of the ship's capabilities, Luffy and Usopp
test out one of the cannons on board by shooting at a rock
formation. However, unbeknownst to them, two pirate hunters happen
to be on said rock and one of them attacks the ship in retaliation.
Luffy fights him, but Zoro points him out to be a friend of his.
It's here we meet Johnny and Yosaku, who were on the rock that was
shot at. After the Straw Hats apologize and Nami cures Yosaku of
his
scurvy, the two tell
the crew of a floating restaurant in the middle of the ocean where
they might find a cook. They then help navigate the crew to said
restaurant, the Baratie.
As soon as they get there the group
runs into trouble with a marine Lieutenant, Fullbody. In the
scuffle between the two, Luffy accidentally redirects a cannonball
into the Baratie's roof. While Luffy tries to make a deal with the
captain, head chef and owner of the ship, Zeff, to pay for the
damages caused to the roof, we meet Sanji, the assistant chef.
Sanji has an encounter with Fullbody as well, and almost kills
Fullbody for insulting the Baratie's food. However, an even bigger
incident occurs when a pirate named Gin, comes onto the ship
demanding food (he was being detained by Fullbody, because he is a
member of
Don
Krieg's armada). Although denied food, beaten and thrown out of
the restaurant by the crew, Sanji secretly serves the man a savory
meal, saving Gin from starvation. Despite this act of kindness,
when Gin leaves and returns to his ship, he tells Don Krieg about
the Baratie. After hearing about the ship, Don Krieg comes to
believe that taking over the Baratie is a key step in resurrecting
his fleet (Read on for details).
Eventually Krieg comes to the
restaurant under the pretense that he won't hurt anyone if he
receives some food. Of course, Krieg attacks the cooks onboard and
claims the Baratie as his own, since his original ship and his
entire fleet were destroyed seven days into the Grand Line by a
mysterious figure. Just as important, his crew is on the verge of
death from starvation. Surprisingly, Zeff gives a sack of food to
Krieg and warns his cooks about the upcoming battle. The Baratie
raises the battle fins, which protect the restaurant part of the
Baratie, and the cooks and Krieg's pirates begin to fight.
In
the midst of the battle, Luffy (who has been working as "Chore Boy"
to pay off the damages to the roof) and the other male Straw Hat
members try to get the Going Merry away from the battle. Only then
do they realize that Nami double crossed them and stole their ship
and treasure. Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku prepare to go after her.
However, their plans are brought to a halt when Krieg's galleon is
suddenly sliced in half. Through the wreckage of the ship sails the
mysterious figure that Zoro instantly recognizes as
Dracule
"Hawkeye" Mihawk, one of
Shichibukai, and the best swordsman in the
world. Zoro decides to try and defeat Mihawk to gain the title of
best swordsman in the world, but is clearly outmatched by Mihawk's
strength. However, Zoro impresses Mihawk with his courage and
honor. As a result, Mihawk spares Zoro's life (so that he can
become a better swordsman and that they may battle again). After
the loss, Zoro vows never to lose again before setting off with the
other Straw Hats to go after Nami while Luffy stays behind to help
the Baratie. With that Mihawk disappears and Krieg directs his
attention back to the Baratie.
The cooks find that Krieg's
pirates aren't pushovers and the battle isn't going well for the
Baratie's cooks, at least until Sanji joins the fray. However, the
tide turns back in Krieg's favor when his second mate, Iron Wall
Pearl arrives. He almost burns down the ship, and thrashes Sanji
around while Gin holds Zeff at gunpoint. It is during this point we
learn about Sanji's past. Surprisingly, Gin saves Sanji from Pearl,
claiming he wanted to kill the cook. The two fight briefly, with
Gin gaining the upper hand. However Gin can't bring himself to kill
Sanji, which makes Krieg furious. As a result, he tries to kill Gin
with a poison gas grenade known as MH5. Gin barely survives. This
act upsets Luffy, and he attacks Krieg. What follows is a long
fight on the wreckage of Krieg's ship. Krieg uses everything in his
armor's arsenal to kill Luffy. However, Luffy counters and powers
though each weapon, finally finishing off Krieg by slamming him
into the side of the Baratie with his legs (although Krieg would
not stay down until a final punch in the gut by Gin stops him in
his tracks). However, Krieg's final attack with his iron net sends
Luffy into the ocean . Sanji saves Luffy from the ocean and Gin and
the rest of Kreig's pirates sail away on a small dingy.
In the
final act of the arc, Zeff and his cooks try to persuade Sanji to
leave by telling him a soup he cooked tasted awful. Sanji doesn't
buy into the act but remembers his dream of the All Blue and
finally decides agrees to join Luffy's crew. Just as he makes his
decision, Yosaku comes back (traveling on a panda shark) and warns
Luffy that Nami headed toward a dangerous island. Zeff and the
Baratie cooks all give Sanji a tearful send off before he, Luffy,
and Yosaku head out to catch up with the others.
