ONE PIECE Episode 20 Recap & Characters (Spoiler-Free)

Episode Summary

Famous Cook! Sanji of the Sea Restaurant!

Johnny explains that after his bounty hunting partner, Yosaku, fell ill from an unknown disease, they stopped at a rock so he could rest, but Luffy's cannon targeted the rock, which Johnny assumed was deliberate. The crew take the ill Yosaku aboard, and Nami diagnoses scurvy from vitamin C deficiency; lime juice treats him. The crew decide they need a cook and stop at the Baratie, where Marine lieutenant Fullbody arrives for a date and orders his men to destroy their ship. Luffy deflects the cannonball with his rubber body, sending it into the Baratie's roof and injuring head chef Zeff; with no money for repairs, Luffy is forced to work as a chore boy for a year. Fullbody then clashes with sous chef Sanji over a fly in his soup, destroys the table, and is beaten by Sanji's leg attacks, drawing the crew inside.
