## One Piece Chapter 223, pages 10-12: I solemnly swear not to fight in this town - Chapter: 223 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Sarquiss, Lily, Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, hotel staff, Bellamy, Bellamy Pirates ### Summary Page 10: A tall, imposing man with long blonde hair, wearing a large fur coat, striped pants, and sunglasses, steps out of the hotel. He has a large circular emblem tattooed on his chest. A woman with long wavy hair, Lily, clings to his arm. A caption identifies him as 'First Mate of the Bellamy Pirates, "Big Knife Sarquiss", Bounty: 38,000,000 Beli'. Sarquiss looks down at Luffy, Zoro, and Nami with disgust and asks, "Who the hell are these dirty little shits?" The terrified hotel staff stammer, "M-m-mister Sarquiss! I... Umm... No- These three are..." Sarquiss interrupts them harshly, "I don't care what your excuses are so just drive them out already! How much do you think we're paying to rent out this whole place!?" Lily agrees, "That's right!" Sarquiss glares at Luffy and orders, "Beat it, kid...!" Page 11: Sarquiss laughs arrogantly at the trio, "Ahahaha! A real joker, aren'cha? You think you can kick my ass...!?" Luffy stares at him blankly and asks Nami, "Hey, can I kick his ass?" Nami immediately yells, "NO!" Sarquiss tosses a handful of coins and bills onto the ground in front of them, saying condescendingly, "What a bunch of ragamuffins. Here, get yourself something decent to wear." The hotel staff watch nervously. Zoro looks annoyed and says, "Yeah, I guess it'd have been better to wipe my ass with those bills! Sarquiss! The money's wasted on them." Luffy looks at the money and asks, "Really? You're giving it to me?" Sarquiss turns and walks away with Lily, laughing, "Ahahaha! What a bunch of losers! Heh heh..." Nami quickly bends down and scoops up all the money, saying, "Ow ow oww... I CAN WALK ON MY OWN...! Come on! We're leaving this lousy place!" She drags Luffy and Zoro away. Page 12: Inside the luxurious Tropical Hotel, the Bellamy Pirates are lounging around in a lavish room, drinking and relaxing. Sarquiss and Lily enter the room. Lily says, "Don't tease 'em too much, now. Sarquiss! Lily!" Sarquiss replies, "Sure, they might be trash compared to you and Bellamy. But they're doing pretty good for 'normal people'...!'" He looks over at a man sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper. This is Bellamy, wearing a dark jacket and sunglasses. Bellamy looks up and says, "Hm? What, you were here?" Sarquiss holds up a wanted poster and says, "Look. Those guys have managed to hold their own in their own way. Still, they won't be able to keep up in the coming 'new age.'" A caption identifies the group as the 'Bellamy Pirates'.
