His expression is dead serious. "ALRIGHT... YOU BETTER BE PREPARED..." he warns. The entire bar erupts into cheers and excitement. The patrons raise their glasses, thrilled by the prospect of violence. "OHHH!? THOSE TWO ARE GONNA FIGHT BELLAMY!" one shouts. "AHAHAHA! FIGHT! FIGHT!" others chant. Nami, looking panicked, yells, "LUFFY! WAIT!" Luffy glares intensely at Bellamy, his fists clenched. Bellamy matches his glare with a wide, unhinged grin. "HAHAHA! This ain't no fight, it's a test! C'mon, let me see what ya got...!" Page 10: Ignoring the escalating tension, Nami turns to the large bartender and asks loudly, "Barkeep! We want to go to a 'Sky Island!' Do you know anything about it!?" The moment the words leave her mouth, the entire bar falls dead silent. The cheering stops instantly. Everyone, from the patrons to Bellamy's crew, stares at Nami in utter shock. Zoro looks confused by the sudden silence. Nami, feeling the heavy stares, looks around nervously and repeats her question, "Would anyone know of a way to get to Sky Island...?" Sarquiss and the woman sitting with him look at her in disbelief. "Is she serious?" the woman asks. Sarquiss mutters, "What did she just say...?" Luffy remains focused, though a question mark appears near his head. Page 11: A massive two-page spread captures the entire bar erupting into uproarious, uncontrollable laughter. The silence is broken by a deafening roar of mockery. Patrons are throwing their heads back, clutching their stomachs, and pointing at Nami, Luffy, and Zoro. Mugs of beer are spilled, chairs are tipped over, and people are literally rolling on the floor in hysterics. Huge sound effects of laughter fill the air: "GAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA!" "AHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA!" In the center of the chaos, Nami, Luffy, and Zoro stand frozen. Nami looks incredibly embarrassed and confused, while Luffy and Zoro just look bewildered by the extreme reaction.
