...

...After resolving the situation with the Marine ship, the crew continued on their journey, sighting the restaurant on the horizon some time later. As they approached, a sense of awe seized Luffy and his crew. The sea restaurant was a unique spectacle, and the sight of it enchanted everyone.

The Baratie rose imposingly above the sea's waters, a splendid floating restaurant that defied imagination. Built on various interconnected platforms, the venue featured a unique architecture that blended the functionality of a ship with the elegance of a luxury establishment. Graceful towers rose above the waves, adorned with banners swaying in harmony with the sea breeze.

Connected by suspended bridges, the platforms offered a breathtaking view of the vast ocean. Stone lions guarded the entrance, giving a majestic aura to the Baratie. The external structure reflected the fusion of maritime themes and refined details, providing an imposing and intriguing look.

As they approached the restaurant, the Straw Hat crew was amazed by the grandeur of the Baratie. The nautical details and the majestic structure left Luffy and his companions in awe. The spacious platforms and large windows promised panoramic views of the ocean, while the legendary cuisine piqued everyone's curiosity.

"Amazing! The sea outside Wano is so fascinating. Thank you, Luffy, for freeing me from that old tyrant!" Yamato expressed her gratitude to Luffy for freeing her from the shackles imposed by her father.

"It's truly extraordinary. Beyond the sky, there are so many peculiar and amazing things on the surface!" Shirahoshi, also someone previously confined, marveled at the diversity of the world beyond her prison.

"This place is quite luxurious!" Zoro commented, directing his admiration to the restaurant itself.

"I've never heard of this place..." Kuina observed the restaurant with curiosity.

"And to think that such a place exists in this vast sea..." Usopp expressed his surprise, making the most of it even after a few days of leaving Syrup Village.

"This place is highly renowned and certainly lives up to its reputation." Nami, with a knowledgeable tone, shared her observations about the location.

"Sharky!"

"Megalo said if there are some seaweeds, he misses eating some that were served at my father's palace..." Shirahoshi said.
"Doubtful, but we'll see soon..." Luffy replied calmly.
"Arf!"
"Let's go then, I know you'll enjoy the food, Chouchou." Luffy responded to the crew's watchdog's expectation.
"I heard that the place has powerful waiters who can kick out any troublemaker looking for trouble." Johnny said.
"Be careful, Brother Luffy!" Yosaku said next to his partner.
"We're not bullies..." Zoro commented next to him, puffing.

Kuina continued to steer the helm towards the location; the place even had a support for six large boats to dock and seemed to be a busy day, as all the spaces were occupied by tourist and commercial boats.
So the ship didn't anchor but stopped at a conveniently accessible dock, and his crew laid down a plank for them to descend beside the restaurant in the open sea.
Leading the way, Luffy walked off the ship onto the beach straight to the restaurant with everyone on the Marine ship following him, but not before he made the ship shrink that besides needing to leave someone to take care of it, he didn't want to attract too much attention.
The people in the group who hadn't witnessed his power and its possibilities were shocked when Luffy took the boat they were on until a moment ago and turned it into a miniature that fit in the palm of his hand with his ability.
