Fifth course [video]
[well, now! That classy-yet-casual-looking restaurant in the background just happens to be Brooke's - the new Brooke's, remodeling all finished. Sanji himself is dressed up in a new shirt that perfectly compliments the orange tie Alice gave him, and putting on his best suave-face for the camera]
Welcome, people of the NV-network, to Brooke's. The grand opening isn't until next week at the earliest, for a very good reason - it needs workers. The redecorating is finished, but we need to clean up a little and hire staff. Rather than just put it out there in the news, I figured, if the locals are going to be so huffy about us 'newcomers,' then I ought to hire newcomers, right? After all, making the best alliances is how anyone survives in a shitty place like this.
So! A cook or two, kitchen assistants, dishwashers, and waitresses would be lovely. And if anyone wants to come try out a few dishes and help me make some final decisions on the menu, I'd be happy to accommodate. Just let me know. The sooner the better!
[a pause. The rest is for Straw Hats even though he's not going to bother making it private. The suave changes to flailing]
I've been so busy I'm only just finding out the purpose behind this holiday we just had. I didn't know you're supposed to get gifts for the people you love! Naaaamiiii, Viiviii, Riiiikkuuu...can you ever forgive me? I'll make it up to you somehow. I promise! Your love-cook will show you that even delayed by a few days, he can treat you the way you deserve to be, showered with appreciation~.
[he also might be nice to Usopp and Zoro but he's not going to tell them that]
