With the kraken that Ace caught, Zeff got the opportunity to really flex his cooking muscle. It had been a while since he'd gotten his hands on a beast that size, and every morsel of it was going to be cooked. After all, Ace had announced it was going to be on the menu. Who was this chef to deny his captain?

He'd worked quickly and efficiently, butchering the great beast to separate out the different parts. Then had come the process of cooking it all. The smells coming from the outdoor kitchen he'd had set up would be enough to make anyone's mouth water: takoyaki (practically a requirement), pickled kraken, grilled kraken, kraken ink pasta, and the suckers both fried and made into soup. Of course, there were other foods on the menu to complement the meal: bread, fruits, vegetables, but the focus was largely on the remains of the beast that Ace had provided them.

Zeff set out the last of the drinks before bellowing, "Come and get it!"

"At this rate, we'll have to roll you back to the ship?"

And a big old smirk from the old chef.

Ace gave Zeff an earnest pause at that, "...I wouldn't mind."

Even if the crew would.

[redfootzeff]

[Zeff chuckles at that. Feeding his crew is of his highest priority. As annoying as it would be to have to take care of a bloated captain, at least the man would be fed and satiated.] Let me know if there's anything else you want set out and I'll see what I can dish up.

[hiken]

For now, it's my victory. [He would have saluted the fallen kraken, but it would be tough to do so when he had eaten a fair chunk of it.]

Over this island. Good food makes up for the insult of this place! Ahhh, I'm happy!

[redfootzeff]

Happy to oblige. [Because, let's face it, he's part of the reason you get such good food.]

[hiken]

[Ace leaned back, his mouth open wide as he stared at the ceiling.]

Ahh! Anyway! I'm tired of talking about myself!

Where did my precious chef learn to cook so well!?

And here's where I start making up things...

[redfootzeff]

I was apprenticed under one of the finest women chefs I've had the pleasure to meet starting a little before I was Sanji's age when he started working under me. She was never a pirate, but she used to cook on a cruise ship before she retired to a life on land. Pushed me hard and made sure I knew how not to waste a scrap of food along with respecting it and the people who prepared it.

Not long before I first went to sea as a ship's cook, she ended up having to close down her restaurant due to an accident in the kitchen which damaged the nerves in her left hand. Had one last sample of her food, and it wasn't quite the same. Started developing my kicking style so I wouldn't add more risk to my hands after that.

we can erase their memory if there's ever a flashback!!!

[hiken]

[At that, Ace lowered his head to stare at Zeff.]

Oh. So, that's why you only attack with your legs.

INDEED.

[redfootzeff]

Exactly. Besides, I wouldn't be much of a cook if I didn't have both of my hands.

[hiken]

...Well, to be fair, I like my hands and I'm not a chef. But, I still get it--there's a lot of dexterity you could lose if you got injured a certain way.

[redfootzeff]

[Zeff nods.] Still, pretty difficult for a logia type like you to lose a limb.
