"Look at this poor woman!"

"She must have starved for days!"

"Quick! We must feed her!"

"Let's take her to restaurant Araw!" I could hear worried shouts around me but didn't have a clear memory of how they transported me. I had sailed for days to the point that all my food had run out. Cons of not having a navigator to lead you to the next island.
Before I knew it, I was placed on something soft that I could assume was cushion.

"What happened here?"

"We found this woman and her ship washed up in our docks and she clearly has been starving!"

"Please feed her! We will pay for her survival"

"Alright alright. I'll see what I can do" I might have not been aware of what was going on but I knew I could smell delicious food which was enough for me to wake up.

"Where... am I ?" I slowly sat up from my seat and the people around me sighed in relief and cheered that I was awoken.

"Oh thanks above that she is alive!"

"We thought you were dead for a second!" I didn't know these people but they were kind enough to worry about a stranger so I liked them already!

"To fill you in. We took you to the restaurant Araw. They make the most delicious food in the town" A young man around my age spoke.

"And don't worry about your ship. We have docked it safely" Another woman informed me and I thanked them both for their kind gestures.

"So... what food will I get?"

"I don't know yet. We sorta just asked for anything to keep you alive" The short haired woman chuckles but I was just happy to get something. I looked around the restaurant and it looked pretty fancy. It had a baby blue color theme with pretty shells and pearl decorations. While scanning the area I notice one of the chefs serving a table. They had several arms that carried multiple plates of food. It looks so cool! When the chef places down the plates on the table the extra limbs disappear making the person look "normal".

"Whoa! That chef had multiple arms!"

"That's chef Taiyō. They consumed a devil fruit called the flower flower fruit. It gives them the ability to sprout their limbs anywhere they want. It's the reason why they're a great chef. They can cook several things at the same time with the help of so many arms!" The scar boy explained which made me gasp knowing that the chef was a devil fruit user like me!

"Tsk. A devil fruit user serving my food? I thought the restaurant had higher standards than that" Whoever the chef was serving was a complete jerk as the snobby rich man disrespected Taiyō.

"Why don't you go back to hell where you belong huh?!" The rich people at the table just laughed at the poor cook and even poured wine over their head! Not only that, Taiyō did nothing about it! They just stood there and took the harassment! Their fake brown eyes showed no sign of frustration and simply bowed to the customers.

"... Enjoy your meal" The short chef walked back into the kitchen and I couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

"HEY YOU JERK!" The few people surrounding me gasped in shock as I stood up hastily, shouting at the man who passively angered me.
