Your POV:

"Repay your debt... ?"

Zeff: Sanji ! Don't do any more unnecessary things. I'm not so old and feeble enough yet that I need to be rescued by a little eggplant !

Sanji: Hmph, you're one to talk. If you hadn't given up your leg for my sake, then these guys wouldn't be able to push you around !

Cooks: So owner Zeff gave up his leg, to save Sanji... ? Then the reason why he's stayed here all along...

Patty: Must've been to repay his debt to owner Zeff... !

Carne: Never would've imagined that two people who argue with each other all the time would share such a deep relationship...

Gin: Why... Why do you still stand up, Sanji... ?! You'll lose without being able to lay a finger on us in the end, so why do you still stand ?! You'll only be beaten to a bloody pulp if you do !

Sanji: I want to preserve this restaurant, if even just one second longer.

Patty: Aghhh ! Are you actually trying to get yourself killed ?!

Zeff: Damn brat...

Cooks: Ahh HOT ! The fire's growing larger ! The restaurant's going to burn down for sure this time !

Pirates: H- Hey ! We gotta put out this fire or there will be no point in taking over this ship !

Pirate: I'm trying, but the fire is too big !

Luffy: NGHHHH...

Sanji: Stop, you idiot ! Don't attack him !

"He's not gonna attack him... Everyone, brace yourself !!"

Luffy: GUM-GUM...

Luffy: AXE !!!

Pirates: AGHHHH !

"The 'fins'... He destroyed them !"

Krieg: that little brat.. ! Gin ! Just blow that damn geezer's head off !

Gin: B- But...

Luffy: Hey, I haven't laid a single finger on you guys at all. All I did was break the fins.

Sanji: The hell do you think you're doing, errand boy ?!

Luffy: I'll sink this ship.

Cooks: What ?! What did he just say ?! He's gonna sink this ship ?! OH HELL NO !!

Pirates: THIS SHIP IS OURS ! DON'T YOU DARE !!

Krieg: GIN ! DON'T JUST STAND THERE ! KILL ZEFF ALREADY !!

Sanji: Are you out of your mind ?! Just what the hell do you think I've been working in this restaurant for ?!!

"Well, that make sense. If the ship's destroyed, then their plans will be ruined."

Sanji: You have no idea what this restaurant means to me, nor the gravity of my debt !

"So, you're planning to die for this restaurant ? That's stupid as hell."

Sanji: What ?!

Luffy: You won't be repaying any debt by dying !! That's not what he saved you for ! To throw away your life and die like this after being saved... That's what a weakling does !!

Sanji: Well, it's not like you know of a better way out of this mess !

"... I believe that way just appeared here and now... You guys should stop arguing."

Just in time, I threw the two of them out of the way, right before Gin smashed the floor where they stood.

Sanji/Luffy: Gin ?!

Gin: My apologies, Don Krieg. But please allow me... To put an end to our saviors with my own two hands.

Sanji: Hm ?

Luffy: There, see ? Things worked out pretty well, didn't it ? My decoy strategy worked.

"Even Usopp is a better liar than you are. You were really planning on sinking that ship, weren't you ?"

Krieg: have you lost your mind, my pirate fleet's battle commander Gin... ?

Gin: Sanji, I wanted you to leave this ship without hurting you. But it seems things can't be that way.

Sanji: No, they can't.

Gin: So then the least I could do is kill you myself... That's the solution I've arrived at.

Sanji: ... Ha. Why, thank you. Now kindly eat shit and die.

Gin: the two of you as well. It would've been best for you to leave with your crew-mates earlier.

Luffy: Nah, it's not as if we'd ever be beaten by weaklings like you.

Pirates: T- THEY JUST CALLED US WEAKLINGS AND TOLD OUR COMMANDER OFF ! WE'RE THE KRIEG PIRATES, THE STRONGEST PIRATE CREW IN ALL OF EAST BLUE !!

"Weren't you guys just the biggest crew ?"

Cooks: Y- You idiot ! Don't provoke them any more ! You're still up against Don Krieg ! His strength's the real thing !

Pirates: THAT'S IT ! LET'S KILL THEM OURSELVES !!

Krieg: STEP BACK, ALL OF YOU !

Pirates: D- Don Krieg... But they...

Krieg: A person who gets angry just for being called weak, is indirectly admitting that he's weak. The final result is what decides who's strong and who's not. I'm still standing here so don't you start whining for nothing.

Pirates: Yes, Don ! Of course, Don !

Patty: talk about leadership...

Carne:: His title "Don" as the fleet admiral of 50 ships isn't just for show.

Krieg: You there, brats. Who do you think is more fit to become the Pirate King ? You or me... ?

Luffy: Me.

Patty: Hey ! Don't egg him on any further !

"Why ?"

Krieg: ... Alright, move it men.

Pirates: It can't be... !

Krieg: It's time to teach these dreamer brats over there, the true meaning of "Strength"...

Pirates: It's... THE MH5 !!!

Gin: Wha... Don, wait !

"MH5... ?"

Luffy: If it's just a cannonball, we'll just send it back, you know !

Gin: Please, Don ! Allow me to kill this man with my own h...

Krieg: Whether you kill him or I do, the result is the same. You know that there's nothing I hate more, than foolishly things like "Honor" or "Compassion". Listen well, this is a battle we're in. And in a battle, you fight to win. So all you have to do is win ! Even if it means using a poison gas bomb !!

"Poison gas ?!"

Gin: DON !!

Krieg: One whiff of this will be enough to render your entire body immobile. THIS IS "STRENGTH" !

Cooks: crap ! Dive into the sea !

Luffy: Hmph ! We'll just knock it down into the sea !

Sanji: Idiots ! Come back !

Luffy: I ain't afraid of a little poison gas...

Krieg: Heh...

Gin: No, that's not it !

"Luffy, get b-"

Cooks: What is this ?! Shurikens ?!

Given their closeness and number, even I wasn't able to deflect them all at once, and Luffy still got hit by some of them.

Pirates: A Shrapnell shell ?! It was just a trick !

Luffy: Huh ?! Wasn't it supposed to be a poison gas bomb ?!

Sanji: A little slow on the uptake, don't you think ?!

Krieg: Ha Ha Ha ! A single poison gas bomb is enough to entirely wipe out a small town. As if I'd waste it to kill you two pieces of trash !

Luffy: I see. He got me good.

"Stop agreeing with the enemy, Luffy..."

Krieg: This is what a battle is ! I've got more ways to kill than I can counr ! Now I'll ask you again ! Which one of us do you think is more fit to become pirate king ?!

Luffy: Me. It definitely can't be you.

Krieg: ... GIN ! You're responsible for killing that cook ! But I'll kill these brats myself !

Pirates: D- Don Krieg is really pissed off !

Krieg: damn brats... I'll demonstrate to you the might of the ruler of East Blue. You'll know soon enough that your strange powers are meaningless before me.

"Keep talking, we'll send you flying away either way."

Luffy: We'll come on over there right now so wash your face and sit tight.

Krieg: Hahaha... So you're stupid enough to try and come over here again, are you ?

"You're greatly underestimating Luffy here. he's already gone."

Krieg: No need to be so impatient...

Krieg: Because I'll kill you as well within due time !

Luffy: Aghh ! SPEARS !! UGH !!

One blue light later, Luffy was safely transported back to the other side.

"Luffy, as much as I know how much you want to send him flying, maybe you should be a little pore careful."

Krieg: So you managed to get away, rubber boy.

Luffy: Damn it ! Hey, you bastard ! Do you not want to fight or what ?!

Krieg: Do I want to fight... ? Ha, I don't need to. The only thing I need in a battle are methods which to kill you, that is true might as a human ! On the other hand, you, who can only charge straight-ahead without using your head, are equivalent to a monkey !

Luffy: OO-OO-AHH-AHH ! Underestimate the monkeys and you'll get clawed !

Pirates: FINISH HIM, GIN !!

Krieg: About time...

Sanji: You son of a...

Gin: ... ... ... ... ... I JUST CAN'T ! DON KRIEG !!

Krieg: What ?

Gin: I simply can't... Kill this man... !

Krieg: What did you just say... ?!

Sanji: Eat up.

Gin: Because...

Sanji: Damn good, right ?

Krieg: SAY THAT TO ME ONE MORE TIME !

Gin: I've never been treated so kindly by another person, in my entire life... ! That's why... I just can't kill that man !

Krieg: Coward... !

Pirates: I- It can't be... Don ?!

Krieg: You can't kill him ? that's quite disappointing, Gin. I always believed you to be my most loyal subordinate, who could adhere to my philosophy of war more than anyone else... The reason why I placed you as the battle commander of my pirate fleet of 50 ships, is because your fighting abilities, as well as you willingness to win by any mean no matter how vile or despicable, was greater than that of any of my subordinates !

Gin: I know, Don. I really have no intention of betraying you, nor do I think what I've done all along was a mistake. I deeply admire your strength, Don. You could even say I'm grateful... But, I just can't bring myself to kill this man !

Gin: Don Krieg... ! If it's possible... If there's the slightest chance possible... Could we please, let this ship go... ?

Pirates: Gin ! How could you... ! We've misjudged you ! What happened to you, commander ?!

Krieg: YOU, MY MOST LOYAL SUBORDINATE, DARE DEFY MY ORDERS ?! HAVE YOU GONE COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND, GIN ?!

Pirates: AGHH ! IT'S THE MH5 ! PUT ON YOUR MASKS ! THIS TIME, IT'S FOR REAL !!

Cooks: That poison gas... ?!

Luffy: Why that bastard...

Gin: But Don ! We were saved because of this restaurant !

Krieg: Throw away your gas mask, Gin. You're no longer one of my crew.

Gin: Wha... ?! Don... Krieg...

Pirates: The Don's really planning on killing even Gin ? That's impossible ! Gin's he's right-hand man !

Pirates: that's right. There's not a single man who's more loyal to the Don than Gin. Even during that time too... ! Back when we just escaped Grand Line only to be suddenly ambushed by Fullbody, Gin alone disguised as our Don, and lured the navy away ! He's a man who always risked his life fighting for the Don's sake. A man who even became a demon to carry out the Don's orders ! There's just no way Don Krieg would kill a man like Gin... !

Krieg: THROW AWAY YOUR MASK !

Luffy: AS IF I'D LET YOU FIRE YOUR POISON GAS BOMB !!

Krieg: NUISANCE !!

"No way in hell we'd fall for that trick twice !"

Krieg: If you insist... I told you I'd kill you within due time, didn't I ?!

Luffy: Aghh ! It's sinking ! Damn it !

"Gin... You know you don't need to listen to that pathetic excuse of a man... Just wait, we'll send him flying soon enough."

Sanji: Errand-boys...

Gin: D- Don't you dare insult Don Krieg ! Don Krieg is the strongest man. You don't have a chance of beating him.

Sanji: Hey ! Open your eyes already ! That man is trying to kill you !

Gin: Of course he is. I'm just a failure who broke his crew's code of law because his compassion got in the way... This is what I deserve !

Sanji: What ! Why ?!

Pirates: Gin...

Krieg: LETHAL POISON GAS BOMB !! MH5 !!!

Pirates: It's coming !

Cooks: Crap, dive and swim as far away as you can !!

Krieg: This... This is a true weapon.

Cooks: pirates using poison gas... this is unheard of ! He's a demon for sure !

Cooks: it's already been five minutes... Do you think Sanji and the errand-boys are alright... ? The poison gas is clearing up...

Even though the cloud of gas was dissipating, there was nothing to see on what was left of the fins. No one was standing there anymore... Well, not ON the fins, at least.

"God... What a close call..."

There was a giant floating skull, high in the sky above the ship, four people on top of it.

"That monster... Using something as dirty as that to fight... He truly is the lowest scum on earth."

Gin: W- What ?! What happened ?!

Luffy: That is what happen, when Y/n actually get serious. Do you think they noticed where we went yet ?

Sanji: Don't think so. Krieg must think we've been blasted away by the explosion, most likely dead now.

Krieg: HAHAHAHA ! What a fool ! That's what he gets for thinking he's eternally indebted just for receiving some grub ! Well... Idiots will never understand until they die-

Gin: D... Don...

"I don't want to sound rude, but it seems like you chose the wrong man to follow, Gin. Krieg... Now you're gonna have a bad time."
