Luffy ### Summary Page 15: Smoker enters the restaurant and stands behind Ace. The restaurant owner asks Ace, "Something else you need?" Ace, holding up a piece of paper, replies, "By the way... Did a guy like this show up in this town? He's this kid wearing a strawhat..." Smoker observes Ace and says, "You seem to be eating without a care in the world, despite all the attention you're drawing." Smoker then addresses him directly, "What brings the Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd division commander to this kingdom? Well, Portgas D. Ace...?" The patrons in the restaurant overhear this and panic. "W-WHITEBEARD!? HE'S ONE OF THEIR CREW-MEMBER...!?" "AHH! NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, I'VE SEEN THAT MARK ON HIS BACK BEFORE!" "WHAT'S HE DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS!?" Page 16: Suddenly, Luffy bursts through the restaurant doors, running at full speed and shouting joyfully, "TIME FOR FOOOOOD!" Smoker turns around in surprise, yelling, "NO, WAIT!" Ace, still sitting at the counter, smiles warmly. He answers Smoker's previous question, "Oh, I'm just looking around. For my little brother, that is..." A text box officially introduces him: "Whitebeard Pirates 2nd Division Commander Portgas D. Ace".
