[It's been a rough couple of days for these crews, and any good cook would know that despite everything that's happening, it's important to keep your nakama fed. They need to keep their strength up, no matter how easy it is to skip meals in the middle of death, doom, and destruction. Plus, a warm, home-cooked meal always helps to soothe away the aches and pains brought on my this kind of devastation.

Also there's way too many people still alive, seriously, how many of his fellow shitty possessed even bothered to heed the lady's orders? Tch.

So Sanji will just be in the galley, stirring a giant pot of stew as he puts the...final touches...into it. He spread the word earlier and told everyone to get their asses to the ship for dinner. Now to see who all shows up...

(At the end of all this, Sanji's journal can be found on his bunk. He's leaving it behind on purpose so he can't be contacted.)]
