Sixth course [video]

[Sanji's looking rather happy and derpy at the moment as he scrambles to use the video to show what's going on around the restaurant]

Ah...this may be a strange question, but...can anyone familiar with this world tell me if these kinds of fish are local?

Oh wow! An elephant bluefin? Is it really? [She peers closely at the video] I don't think I've ever seen one in real life before! Only ever in pictures! It's enormous!

And you're probably right, it'll take a few more like that to keep Luffy fed. [she laughs] I don't know about the fish here...but I'm sure if I ask around I can find out!

It is! I got one in Loguetown - in fact, I cooked it for the crew right before we met you, Vivi! Ah, that takes me back...

It's really strange to see one, but I'm not taking it for granted. I'm going to clean it right away.

Please don't get so nostalgic Sanji-san, you'll make me homesick!

Is there anything I can do to help? I've been getting restless not doing anything useful!

Aww I'm sorry Vivi, I'll try not to do it again~.

Hmmm let's see. I'm not sure! What would you like to do?

It's quite alright. I guess I've just had so much time on my hands lately I've had too much time to think about home... [She looks sad for a moment but quickly pushes it away]

I can help with the fish or help get the place ready or even run to the market for more food. I'm sure I could ask the people there about local fish!

[a smile. He understands]

I know it's not the most glamorous of duties, but would you like to help me clean out the fridge to make room for the fish? There's going to be a lot of it even after I cut it apart.

I'd be happy to! Although once Luffy finds out there might not be nearly as much left! I'll be right down!

[She switches off the NV and runs down the stairs.]

Okay! Where do we get started? [She rolls up her sleeves, eager to be helpful again!]

[he's crouching over the huge fish, sparkling like it's Christmas all over again]

Ahh, Vivi, isn't it beautiful? Let's see. I think we need to get the prep island in the kitchen cleaned off so I can carry it in there and cut it up. And make room in the fridge - but don't throw anything out. It's all still good.

Oh wow! It's even bigger than it looked in the pictures! It really will take a lot of space!

[She hurries into the kitchen to start clearing off the island and calls back over her shoulder]

Where do you want me to put the food in the fridge? Is there somewhere else safe from Zoro and Luffy?

[he's still sizing up the fish, trying to decide whether to start hacking it out here on the nice restaurant floor or what, so he calls out over his shoulder]

Ah...take out the meat on the second shelf, I'm going to make that for dinner tonight. Try to stack up as much as you can or move it to the freezer for now.

[wandering into the kitchen to help, now, he's decided he doesn't want blood on the floor out there]

I'll put some of it in the freezer, too. Phew, this is going to take some work.

We can do it though! With both of us working it shouldn't take too long.

[She ties her hair back out of the way and starts moving things off the island to make way for the massive fish.]

What will you make with it all? It's bound to serve at least a few meals!

[meanwhile, he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work shifting things around on the other counters to make room for other stuff]

I can make stock from the fins, use the prime meat for filets and steaks, the lesser flesh for stir-fry and stew. Believe me, a gift like this isn't going to go to waste.

[and he's totally excited to be talking cooking]

[She's happy to see him so excited and joins in the fun.]

What will you be doing with the head? Terracotta knows some amazing recipes with parts of the fish's head. I wish I had her cookbook here! You remember her, don't you? Igaram's wife.

Of course! Miss Terracotta gave me some wonderful recipes when we left Alabasta, I still have them. Well, on the ship - not here.

[he stops and strokes his chin] The head is surely a delicacy, with the trunk and all. I'll have to invent something spectacular to make the best of it.

I'm sure she'll be glad to hear that. She always asks about you when we get any news. I think you made an impression on her.

I can't wait to see what you make with it! I know it'll be amazing!

Ahaha, really, she does? [so amused]

I'll have to carefully preserve it until I know what I want to do with it. Lucky for us, we have the big freezer for the restaurant to store all the extra.
