At Baratie,
The Dining is closed for renovations,
Repairing the damages done by Arlong Pirates.
Suddenly Garp, Bogard, Koby and Helmappo entered the Baratie surprising the staffs.
They asked Garp to wait for the moment until they can get touch with Zeff.

"It's a nice place.." Koby says whispering to Helmappo,

"My dad used to eat here all the time.
Not that he ever took me, but..." Helmappo says with a shrug,

Koby and Helmappo looked at Bogard glaring at them as they awkwardly turned away.
Zeff walked in completely surprising Garp.

"Marine..? And Vice Admiral Garp..!
Never in million years i thought i'd see faces from the old days here.
Little late to the party I'm afraid, Garp.." Zeff says with a surprised smirk,

"I always wondered what happened to the Infamous Red Leg Zeff..." Garp says with a surprised smile,

"Sir, do you know this man..?" Koby ask with a confused look,

"Red Leg Zeff..!
Captain of the Dreaded Cook Pirates.
One of the few Pirates in the old days, manage to sail inside the grand line and not die... His reputation speaks volume." Garp says walking up to stand infront of Zeff,

"Well, those days are far behind me...
I'm retired. I'm a cheff now.
And the only thing under my command is this restaurant." Zeff says with a proud look,

"We're not here for you, Red Leg..!
We need some information about a Young Pirate who was here recently.
Name of Monkey.D.Luffy..?" Garp says with a stiff tone,

"I can't help you, Vice Admiral..!" Zeff says refusing to co operate,

"Can't..? Or won't..?" Bogard ask with a suspicious look,

"These days,
I'm lucky if i remember my regulars..
But how about a meal in the house..?
I got a dozen T-bone steaks and a busted cooler.
It'd be such a shame to let all the delicious marbling go to waste." Zeff says offering meal for Garp,

"We're not here for meal..
We're here for inform..." Bogard says but interrupted by Garp,

"That Steak..!" Garp says with a curious smile,

"Medium rare..?" Zeff ask with a smirk,

"More rare than Medium.." Garp says with a smirk,

At Coco-Yashi Village,
Luffy, Sanji and Ussop happen to walk through an empty street...
Zoro was gone for a recon in a small boat before Luffy and others got there.
The 3 guys saw a house upside down and they figured only a fishman have the strength to turn a house upside down.

A little far from the street,
People of Coco-Yashi Village all gathered collecting money.

"Everyone..! Please...
We don't have much time..
We're short again this month." The Mayor of the village says with a worried tone,

People put more coins into the bag but it's still not gonna be enough.

"Do we have time to get some more..?" People ask the Mayor,

"No..!" Nami says walking from behind surprising everyone but not in a good way.

The whole village throw hate words and disgusted glares at Nami for what she did to the village.
To them, Nami turned her back on them to go join The Arlong Pirates since she always bragged about hate being poor.

Luffy and the others saw Nami walking among the crowd.
Luffy was about to run to her but Ussop stopped him.
Sanji seem glad Nami is okay and safe.
