 Sanji is greeted by the greatest culinary chef of the East Blue, named Carmen. Accompanied by Leon(who has an egg shaped head) and Jose(who has larger nostrils than his eyes). Sanji thinks he s lucky that a woman is interested ih him, as he attempts to kiss her hand. But was hit with a frying pan before he started. He wonder if he and her had met, before but was given a selection of photos of other chefs. They were all beaten by Carmen s skills in cooking. She believed she had no equal in the East Blue, until she found Sanji s picture in the newspaper. While he was still working at the Baratie, he was commented as the best chef of the East Blue. Carmen has spent 10 years in searching for Sanji to compete their skills in culinary cooking. She tells him to meet her at the Loguetown Cooking Contest at 1 o clock afternoon. To determine who s the greatest chef of the East Blue. She departs, but Sanji wasn t at all interested in competing against a woman. Meanwhile at a restaurant, Luffy and Zoro were enjoying their meals as well as Buggy and Mohji(who re still wearing cloaks). Zoro thanked Luffy for paying the meals, but Luffy revealed that he has no money to use. Which leads to a misunderstanding on who was responsible for the bill. Buggy at the next table was angry on where Luffy. He starts to bang the table, which cased his bag of coins to jump to Luffy and Zoro s table. Which had enough to pay their bill. They thanked Buggy for the honesty, without knowing it was him. After they left, Buggy recognized their voices. Mohji mentioned it was Luffy, which cased Buggy to lit up with anger. And kicked him out of the restaurant to hunt down Luffy. At the Louguetown pier, Sanji found the fish market. He checked out all the fish, and couldn t help but noticing how foreign the fish looked. The fish merchant commented how good of an eye, Sanji has. And told him that the fish he s looking at a from the West Blue, and not the East Blue. They were caught naturally inshore. Sanji was surprised that they were able to catch fish from a different region. The Merchant told Sanji, that Loguetown is the closest civilization to the Grand Line, which is where all the oceans meet. Meaning that s how it s possible to find fish from different regions. Then there a crowd forming at the docks. The merchant and Sanji went to see what it was. A group of fishermen caught a Blue Finned Elephant Tuna. Only found from the South Blue, and very rare to catch. Sanji remembered before meeting Red Leg Zeff, he was looking at a book and learned about the Blue Finned Elephant Tuna. He asked his chef friends if they ve ever seen one, but it s a rarely prepared dish for common chefs. A miracle ingredient as they say it is. That was when Sanji first heard of the All Blue sea, which he was told countless times, that it s a fantasy. After the flashback, Sanji asked how much the fish is for. But it wasn t for sale, as it s suppose to be the Grand Prize for the Cooking Contest. Sanji wants that fish more than anything, and will enter the contest after all. As the contest is beginning, Sanji meets Carmen again, who knew he d compete. Everytime Sanji sees her, he d try to kiss her hand, and ends up getting hit by a frying pan. Usopp and Nami went by and found Sanji competing in the contest, and decided to watch. The rules are simple, there are 10 competitors, and must out cook the best culinary meal. The 2 of the best will be in the semifinals for the grand prize. Both Sanji and Carmen won with a breeze, till they find themselves against each other in the semi finals. As Sanji cooks with all his effort, he remembered how as a kid, he d deny that the All Blue is a hoax. And knows it exists, as all 4 oceans: North, East, West, & South Blue meet at the Red Line peninsula from north to south. That s where the Grand Line is, a water current going from East to West. There s no doubt that the All Blue is located there. A place where all breeds of fish lived. Once he gets to the Grand Line, he ll find it. To prove that he was right all along. After pondering about his All Blue theory, he finished his culinary meal before time ran out. Sanji won the contest, and prove himself to be the greatest chef of the East Blue. Carmen finds it unbelievable that she lost to someone like Sanji. She revealed that she tried so hard to be the greatest, which is why she wanted to see him in the first place. To share the same title as him. 10 years ago, she over heard Sanji about his dream. And thought she could be able to overcome that dream too. But accepted her lost, and admits that Sanji s cooking is perfect. And hopes to meet him again someday. Usopp helped carry Sanji s Elephant Tuna, while Sanji couldn t stop thinking about how he should prepare it as a meal. Zoro and Luffy were walking, till Luffy s straw hat was caught by the wind. He chased it, and got it back. Which lead him to the gallows, he s been looking for earlier. And got his chance to see the view up on the platform where Gold Roger was executed. But little does he know that Smoker, Buggy, and the mystery woman are all heading towards the execution grounds to fight him.
