2nd Course [Audio + Written // Open to Spade Pirates]

[Audio]
After that last disaster in my galley, I suppose the only way to make sure you all get the rules is to write them down. If I have to, I'll nail the damn page to the wall.

[This next part is written in large neat and precise script.]

[And switching back to audio.]

The only exception to the second rule is if I'm not able to do my job which will likely be when I'm dead or dying, and the latter's questionable.

And if you think I'm not allowed to send you for impromptu swimming practice, it was part of my deal with the captain when I signed on.

Also, Captain, I'll be needing to replace what was ruined in that fire next time we hit port.

[The pain could be felt in Ace's very soul.]

What exactly did they start tossing out? I only woke up when you guys were all done.

Water at first. Then they started throwing around all my salt.

I managed to salvage some of what got wet and seasoned, but a lot of it from that section had to go. At least the flour didn't catch fire, or the galley would've become one huge fireball.

Well, I gathered that much. Was it a grease fire, then? That would explain why it was so bad in the first place.

Most likely. Trying to find the flash point is a pain in the ass. The girl said she was trying to speed things up when she was cooking.

[The words are pressed deeply into the page and are a bit less neatly-written than normal. Somebody's pissed.]

We all have to learn the hard way.

I learned all about grease the first time I cooked wild boarwith

It turns out to be a big mess, especially without any pans to catch on.

[redfootzeff]

[Huh. What was with the scratched out line? Oh well.]

Exactly. However, this is exactly why I'm not letting anyone touch my kitchen from now on without my supervision. We can't have too many more "learning experiences" like that one.

[hiken]

I'm all for this idea. Strictly speaking, you're the best one to make sure we never starve.

Not many people understand that cooking isn't just about taste.

[redfootzeff]

At least you're aware of that. The number of captains that never get that is ridiculous. It's a miracle their crews haven't all died from malnutrition and scurvy.

[hiken]

Heh. It means they came from healthier homes. Luffy and I had a proper home, but we were among bandits that knew how to eat to survive in the mountains.

So, we learned quick that food wasn't just big animals, even if that's usually the tastiest type of food!

[redfootzeff]

I suppose but having a good background of excellent nutrition won't save you forever.

[And a snort of amusement though you can't hear it.] I'm guessing someone's getting a little sick of all the lean meats?

[hiken]

Ahhh? Not me, I'll eat anything.

I think you're a savior at the moment--cabin fever comes quicker when your only chef is on half the ships you've got.

[redfootzeff]

I'm still amazed you had only one cook to share between the two ships. What were you holding out for?
