Not yet. But that's the reason why I became a pirate - I was working at this shitty restaurant called the Baratie and one day this crazy kid comes crashing in through our roof. Talks about how he's going to become the Pirate King and that he needs a chef... he tried to recruit me but I had no intention of becoming a pirate. I was planning to work at that restaurant for as long as I lived.

Long story short... he convinced me in the end. I left the Baratie and went out to sea to follow my dreams onboard his ship.
