Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shō than stopped paddling. "Wait a minute, that man was the legendary Chef Captain Red leg Zeff. Like hell would he blow such a chance to train with such a pirate, chef's all around the world worshiped this man. He probably could teach Shō something, Shō than back flipped backwards twirling high into the air. Shō landed directly on the edge of the baratie facing the sea than paused for a couple of seconds. His head was tilted forward, he than took the time to slowly push his fancy yellow glasses up. While he was still pushing the glasses up his head raised, the sun made the lens glow a bright yellow as he was now completely serious. Zeff was shook for a second, he stopped right front of the restaurant before he could actually get out, something was not right.

(2 Kick Combo)
1/4

Zeff than looked behind him slowly now looking at Berserker. The young man in red raised his long silver revolver MoonDoggie directly towards Zeff. People on the ship began to notice Shō, they immediately shook into panic after realizing which red coat that was. Most people didn't know who this man was because he didn't have a pirate crew. The only thing they know Shō for is because he fought Lazy Eyes and survived. Most think this kid's Lazy Eyez rival because he fought the man the second time at the Davy Back Tournament. It seems even though Lazy eyes doesn't see Shō in his league hes always come back for more even stronger. "UNTIL I DEFEAT THAT MAN..........I'LL NEVER LOSE!" Zeff's eyes widened, he than bent his legs disappearing than reappeared right in front of Shō before he could notice him kick straight into his stomach. Shō's eyes rolled backwards within those glasses, Zeff twirled his body upwards and kicked Shō directly in the face while the young man in red was about to drop on his knee's.

2/4

Shō flew directly through one of the pillars on the restaurant boat. All the people having a wonderful meal began to panic even more, they started to run around the area they were in while the rest of Zeff's men were trying to calm them down, telling them everything was okay when it really wasn't. The situation was starting to heat up, from the corner of the baratie Shō slowly started to stand up. That technique, it was a 2 Kick Combo, he would learn it and prove to this man he was not joking. Shō started this fight with Zeff not to be an a** but he just wanted to learn some techniques from the man. Of course Zeff wouldn't teach someone like Shō who wasn't even a kicker any techniques. Shō was a shooter, he'd be a shooter till the day he died.

3/4

Shō dashed forward now with his revolver still in his right hand. Once he was in range he grit his teeth while ducking down very low, Zeff's eyes widened as before he could react he was kicked directly in the stomach by the now in front of the legendary chef was Shō. While Zeff was flying backwards, before he could be sent off the actual Baratie it self the spiky haired blond appeared right at his side in an instant kicking Zeff directly in the side of the face straight through some tables and benches meant for the people. Shō smirked than stuck his tongue out, he told him he'd learn the technique and there it was the two Kick Combo!

4/4

Shō looked at the food and then sat down and took in the image, it was nicely put together. The colors really complemented each other making it look really tasty. He closed his eyes and sniffed the aroma and let out a light sigh, it smelt nice too. So he clapped his hands together and said."ittadekimasu!" Shō grabbed his fork and dug in savoring every bite and made sure that he didn't leave left overs. When he was done a satisfied sigh escaped his lips."That was really good!" He said then stood up and washed the dishes, dried them off with a towel and put them away. When he was about to walk out to find Patty, Zeff was standing in front of the door leaning against the frame with his arms crossed."So your done eh."

6 kick combo 1/6

Seeing Zeff there made the hairs on the back of Shō's neck stand up feeling like he was going to be in trouble. But he stood straight and turned then motioned for him to follow. Shō nodded slightly and followed seeing that they were going to the deck. So he wasn't going to kick him up right the head....right? When they got to the top it took a moment for Shō to gain his vision back but when he was able to see he saw there was a punching dummy in the middle of the deck."Now I'm going to teach you the 6 kick combo." he said and crossed his arms.

6 kick combo 2/6

"Try kicking this dummy six consecutive times as fast as you can." Zeff said standing firm. Shō nodded and used stealth walk to get faster at the dummy then kicked it six times as fast and as hard as she could. The dummy didn't budge! Zeff shook his head."Not fast enough. Do it again." He said. Shō concentrated and started kicking at the dummy faster then landed on his feet. Zeff shook his head again."Faster." 'Does this attack really require that much speed?!' Shō wondered but wasn't about to argue with the man who was so graciously teaching him a good technique.

6 kick combo 3/6

Shō tried again but that still wasn't fast enough, he did this again and again and again but still not enough. He was getting frustrated as he panted putting her hands to his knees."Again." Zeff said still standing with his arms crossed. Shō looked to him obviously tired and a little irritated."Then you try do it." he said through his panting. Zeff gave a small smirk and walked over to the dummy and preformed the attack first starting with a kick uppercut making the dummy fly up into the air then six quick kicks to the stomach. Shō was amazed that he could still preform that skill with one leg missing. The dummy fell to the ground and rolled a little before stopping.

6 kick combo 4/6

Zeff looked back at Shō. "There now set the dummy back up and practice." he said walking back to where he was and stood there with his arms crossed. Shō nodded and set the dummy back up and focused replaying the attack in his head. Suddenly he kicked the dummy at great speed almost matching Zeff's. Zeff's eyes widened slightly in surprise."Just from looking at it." he said under his breath then smirked."There you go now add in the kick uppercut." Zeff said to him. Shō got back into position then charged at the dummy using the kick uppercut sending the dummy up in the air. Shō's eyes flickered as he jumped up in the air applying the six kicks.

6 kick combo 5/6

The dummy fell to the deck and rolled a little before coming to a stop. Shō was panting and glaring at the dummy then smiled slightly. He then heard clapping coming from behind him making his ears stand up. Shō turned slightly seeing Zeff clapping his hands in a slow way, but this was enough to make him feel like hes gotten a good pat on the back."congratulations you just learned the 6 kick combo......successfully." Zeff said letting his hands drop back to his side. Shō saluted Zeff with a grin then threw his arms around him so happy that he learned it. Zeff flinched at Shō's sudden movement and stared down at him but sighed and loosened up patting her on the head. After a while he shook his head and pried him off by the shoulders."Alright you learned the move now go take a shower and get." Zeff said. Shō laughed slightly and nodded running off to the showers. After he showered he went to the exit of the restaurant but turned slightly and smiled."Bye everyone!" he said with a wave. Some of the chefs were crying as they waved. Zeff simply nodded his head in responce."Feel free to visit anytime and volunteer!" Patty called out. Shō chuckled slightly and left the grand restaurant to train some more.

6 kick combo 6/6

Rake was taken how to chef was able to kick with such a force. He decided to stay a bit longer so that he could hear a bit from what went on in this place and so. He enjoyed the food quite a bit and would love to stick around and eat many times around here. Maybe he should invite the Forte pirates chef to this place, she might pick up a thing or two. He chuckled a bit for himself and noticed that he had allowed his soup to go cold so he did what eh always did back at the boat home.

2 Kick Combo 1-4

He ignited his palm and placed it under the bowl as he slowly took small spoons from it until it had reached the heat that he wished from his food. The soup was indeed fantastical. The very aroma was breathtaking. He couldn't remember when he had gotten this good food in such a long time. He now begun to think that his own chef was slacking of or was cheap with the spices. He would confront her when they met next time. This was the sort of food that he wanted.

2 Kick Combo 2-4

He seemed not be the only one that enjoyed this food for the restaurant was pretty full and it was many sorts of people around here and a few marines but they didn't seem to notice Rake at least. That was a good thing for he would hate to kick out marines from this place and later be kicked out of this paradise. No that would not be good at all but his eyes kept searching the room for he wanted to pick up some more from that chef and with it learn some kicks

2 Kick Combo 3-4

Now Rake just finished his soup when actions came up again. Some drunken guy decided t make the life sad for a young woman. Now it was really something bad but the woman was taken into the defence of the chefs of this restaurant. Yet the chefs found themselves in a big mess because it seemed to be more then one of a pirate crew here. Yet what came caught Rake's eyes and he saw the big hat chef again. He begun to kick around and Rake found a new technique.

2 Kick Combo 4-4

Yet before they truly begun, Rake had to wait for Zeff to be done for the day. He would receive a new plate of his main course quickly. This Rake truly thanked for he had been robbed of the very food they talked about, robbed before he could even sink his fork into it. The smell had been so incredible to even speak of. Rake knew that Kale had to be taken to this place so she could learn their type of food. Yet perhaps Kale would be offended by such a question that Rake knew he wouldn't ask.

6 Kick Combo 1-6

Kale did good enough food and her food was tasty as well. Even if Kale's food where of her style but then again maybe all food tasted a little from the hart of the chef that cooked what ever that would end up on the plate in the end. A chef's life was indeed full of mysteries and strange ways. A swordsman was much simple and far more balanced. Well maybe not balanced but far more meditation within the art of a blade. One got to learn his swords as his hands.

6 Kick Combo 2-6

Yet truth was that even chefs learned their knives as well as a swordsman did but they had more to think about for their hands was their life. A swordsman could take damage to any part of his body and remain what he was. There was always a way to reach a higher level of swordsman ship when one reached the high state of near death. It was indeed trul under those circumstances that a swordsman knew why and what he was doing in the world.

6 Kick Combo 3-6

That's why most swordsmen trained to such a enormous amount and on such a dangerous level for only could their mind be opened the closer to death they where. Yet in such state they where to weak to fight so a swordsman had to balanced on the edge of their strength and to their mind to be open. To be calm and relaxed in all ways but at the same time feel the emotions and be able to protect those around him. Rake would never look back on his way for he had reached such hight in his that it was clear what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.

6 Kick Combo 4-6

Rake sunk his teeth into the fine meat and enjoyed the meal as he watched other people leave the restaurant Baratie. Soon it was just a few left in the area and Rake got his ice-cream. Some vanilla with chocolate, crackers and cream. It was very delicious and had a thick taste. It really filled the mouth and enlightened his senses. Such a clear mind one got after eating, it was truly after a good meal when one truly begun to think on the world at a higher level.

6 Kick Combo 5-6

When Rake was done he gladly paid extra for his meal and didn't take no for an answer about that. He paid what he believed what his food should cost and not what it truly did cost. Then Zeff came out to him and sat down at his table. The man begun truly deep on his story and about a boy he once saved from death, with this having his leg cut of. They had survived starvation together and created the restaurant. This boy had turned into a pirate in the end and all of that. The story continued and after a while Rake learned the last technique Zeff would teach a none cook. Rake left the restaurant for the next place on his map.

6 Kick Combo 6-6 Done

Takehiko Naoki arrived on the floating restaurant 'Baratie' in which during his previous visit, warded off the evil Don Krieg. But that was history, Naoki was there to sample some more of the finest food the blues had to offer. He smiled to the young blonde waitress who walked up to him and led him to his table, as she left with his order of the finest fish dish from the menu, he slapped her on the a** playfully causing her to giggle. as he waited for his meal, he couldn't help but notice the man across the room from Naoki laughing and telling jokes with no real substance but a punchline. The whole thing seemed rather odd, this man continued on as Naoki ate his meal and even afterwards, wiping his mouth with his napkin Naoki asked for the waitress to come back "Hey there my dear, would you mind picking me up an apple pie? Thanks darling" Naoki said, giving her a wink.

Naoki rubbed his hands together as he saw the hot steaming piece of pie being brought over to him. He was about to take a bite of it, sticking his fork in and cutting it away from the subtle crumbling crust, when he was rudely interuptted by the man who had been joking with the rest of the diners, he placed his foot onto the table in an agressive manner, Naoki didn't flinch as it only showed weakness. He looked up at the man, fork still in hand. "If this was yours, you'd be eating it now and not destroying the fine embroidery of this table cloth" Naoki said calmly, then with a smile took the first bite of the pie and licked his lips "Oh, so good" he said, going in for another bite.

Naoki did begin this encounter smiling, but his face soon had a look of shock across it. "Well that is something now isn't it?" Naoki said as the fork fell into two seperate pieces. One of those pieces fell to the floor whilst the other fell into Naoki's plate with the pie still there. Naoki peered his eyes down towards the floor and got off his chair "Excuse me a moment, we don't want to someone to injure their foot on this piece of fork now do we?" Naoki said, getting up off his chair he bent down onto his knees, out of Hisao's sight. He smiled and pressed his hands against the floor of the Baratie and created a door causing Naoki to fall into the door realm and made the exit door sit itself above Hisao's head, falling through this door Naoki pushed his leg out and delivered a megaton kick to Hisao's head.

Naoki found himself amazed that this man could have sensed where he was going to come out from. Maybe his devil fruit's powers weren't as almighty as he had previously thought. As he landed he spun around to face the man who had been able to dodge his kick, but he didn't see him and only saw a large round object being pushed into his face, Naoki went flying backwards with the force of the push, but the apple pie went with him. From his new spot on the floor, Naoki got up and brushed his clothes down, his face still covered in pie. "Who are you sir?" Naoki asked, licking the pie off around his face, then wiping the rest of with the napkin he had tucked into his jumper.
