"Cut it down to one week!" Luffy blurted out.
"What did you say punk?! You think you can destroy my restaurant, leave me critically injured, and then make up for it by working without pay for only one week?!" Zeff barked back as the head chef and the rubber kid are literally butting heads now.
"Hmmm... What about one month?" Pinkie Pie suggested.
"No way! I'm not going to be saying here for a month!" Luffy whines and pouted as the rubber kid crossed his arms over his chest.
"Shut it! You three are going to be working here for four months and that's final!" The head chef declared, finally putting his foot down and exercising his authority in the said establishment.
"I've already waited 10 years to become a pirate! I ain't waiting much more!" Luffy opposed with a swift objection of his hand to what was just announced.
"Luffy please... Lets just work this out for now and see what gets decided later..." Twilight pleaded with Luffy, trying her best to diffuse the situation by Luffy wasn't hearing any of it.
"Alright then! Its settled! We're working here for one week and then you forgive me." Luffy said, once again deciding things on his own much to Zeff's annoyance.
"I'm the one who will decide whether to forgive you or not!" Zeff yelled in his face as the rubber kid struggles to pick himself back up. "Look. Your completely fine." Luffy replied as he observed Zeff standing right there without much of a trouble.
"Shut up!!"
"Oh my god!! Zeff is terrifying!! So Zeff is serial killer then?! W... Well makes sense right..? Since maybe he was a pirate!!" Pinkie blurted out much to Twilight's annoyance and growls of anger.
"Alright. I've seen enough. This stops now! Listen to me!!" Twilight calls out for Luffy and Zeff all the while Pinkie Pie was holding a bucket of popcorn and looked to be enjoying the whole show. The alicorn princess was now on her end radar when she unleashes the Royal Canterlot Voice which was heard from a mile or two as the place halted to a stop. Everyone, the customers, the chefs in the kitchen and even their friends outside recognized who it was and even Chef Zeff and Luffy were halted from Twilight's commanding tone as the alicorn princess calms herself down.
"Stop that already." Twilight sighs before turning to Zeff with a modest approach. "Look. I get it. On one side I agree that we can't stay here for too long." The purple alicorn then turns to face her captain. "On the other hand Luffy, You have to understand that we have to do the right thing here and pay the debt we owe to this gentleman." Twilight explained but an annoyed, childish Luffy just looked to the side with cheeks all puffed up and arms crossed over his chest.
Twilight then turns back to Zeff. "I promise that we will pay you. Maybe we can start working right away and leave this particular discussion for when we are all the more calm? Please?"
The head chef then looks at Twilight for a moment before walking away with a grunt. "Yeah. You better do that. Follow me downstairs you lot." With a satisfied smile Twilight looks to the side and saw Pinkie helping Luffy get back on his feet as the now three restaurant working pirates followed Zeff as they arrived just in time to see the other cooks holding down Sanji and Zeff immediately bolds into action.
"Sir! Please stop Sanji for us!" One of the cooks nearby calls out to their boss.
"Sanji! Are you running wild in my restaurant again?" Zeff reprimanded to his sous chef much to the shock of Twilight and Pinkie.
"Shut up you shitty geezer." Sanji answered back with a harsh tone.
"Its exactly as it seems sir! And this time Sanji beat up some idiot marine lieutenant!" Patty explained to their boss.
"Are you trying to ruin my restaurant you little shit?!" Zeff spats angrily as he kicks Sanji in the face. Meanwhile Twilight, Pinkie and Luffy are watching from the sidelines as Twilight was about to intervene when Luffy brought her attention to something familiar.
"Hey isn't that the guy who fired the cannon ball earlier Twilight? Why is he all bloodied up?"
Twilight saw it with her own eyes and true enough, Fullbody was not looking so good.
"That's it! We will just make him take up the payment and..." Twilight's bright ideas upon seeing him was cut short when Zeff also delivered a kick towards Fullbody.
"This place sure is noisy." Luffy muttered.
"But then again, That's what makes this place so fun right?" Pinkie replied with a grin.
"Hahahaha!! Your correct on that one Pinkie!!" Luffy bursts out laughing as she and Pinkie began to do the can can, playing around, dancing and having a good time while Twilight desperately tries to calm them down lest they got themselves into more trouble.
"Wow... I know that your marines and he's a captured pirate but I never thought guys like you would be heartless monsters to rationalize a decision like that." Pinkie answered Fullbody with a harsh glare.
"She's right! Marines like you don't have mercy. I thought you guys are supposed to be law enforcers and protect innocent people yet you abuse prisoners like this?!" Twilight added with disgust upon understanding the situation.
"Shut up!! This doesn't concern you pony pirates!!" Fullbody yelled back at Twilight and Pinkie as the patrons of the restaurant began to murmur amongst themselves.
The two ponies are just left speechless upon seeing the marine drop at the gunshot as Twilight and Pinkie looks tense at the pirate as he walks, ready to act if he tries anything.
Twilight looks astounded while Pinkie Pie whistles at Patty’s strength.
Up there on some platform is Luffy, Twilight and Pinkie Pie looking down with a smile at Sanji's heart warming gesture of kindness. The man who would feed anyone who's hungry regardless of them being good or bad. The guy who would saved someone who's classified as a violent pirate from starving to death.
"You said it Luffy, It seems we found the one we came looking for." Twilight said with a side glace to the Straw Hat Captain.
"Lucky! You got some food! You were about to die before too! Hahaha!" The rubber kid greeted from up above with a wave.
"Yo Mister cook! Would you join our crew? Please...! Please...! PLEASE?!!" The pink party mare pleaded, even to the point of kneeling, having stars and sparkles in her eyes.
Both Sanji and the pirate looked confused at the trio above them who descended to their direction and explained who they were.
