And now you're here, running your very own place. It's so amazing, Tifa-chan~

[He's going to make his own restaurant someday, probably not in this world, but back home, once they find the All Blue. Course, he has to check on Zeff and the others to make sure their sorry asses aren't dead.]

They sound like wonderful ladies. [He got that implication that Tifa's mom wasn't around for her childhood-- possibly her entire life.] After my mom passed, I eventually found myself onboard a floating restaurant out at sea and it's where a grumpy old man really taught me how to cook. Also had a bunch of other chefs on board that helped every so often.

Takes an entire team to teach someone how to cook sometimes, eh?
