“you will not deny my challenge, i’ll defeat you in the ultimate cooking competition!”

you were a famous sous chef at the baratie, written about in articles all across the east blue, and were known by many across the sea. when you joined the straw hats and sailed with them, you continued to hone your skills with cooking, so when you arrive at loguetown with the crew, you set off for the market to buy fresh food and produce to keep cooking with. you find a perfect fish to get when a woman comes up and snatches it from your reach and begins to taunt you.

“oh? do you want this? well that’s just too bad! i’m taking this fish for myself, and you can’t stop me, you want it? then come beat me at the cooking competition today, and you better show up!”

as she walks away, you can’t help but admire her beauty, even if she was rude she was a hot lady. at the competition you see her prepping her stand, and when you make eye contact she walks over to you annoyed.

“hmph, so you really did come, i knew you would. my name is carmen, i’m a master chef of the east blue, and you’re the last chef i have to beat to cement myself as the best chef in the entire east blue, so cmon, give me your best shot!”
