## One Piece Chapter 223, pages 13-15: I solemnly swear not to fight in this town - Chapter: 223 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Sarquiss, tavern patrons, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Terry, Marshall D. Teach ### Summary Page 13: Sarquiss holds up Luffy's wanted poster, which clearly shows his bounty of 30,000,000 Beli. He smirks and says, "But still... 30 million for that pipsqueak? Gonna show this to Bellamy." The scene then shifts to a bustling tavern in Mocktown. A narration box explains the nature of the town: "Mocktown, is a town built from pirate-money. Pirates spend money like running water, you know. Fights and killings are everyday occurrences here, but the pirates rarely harm the locals here. After all, what good's money without people to accept it?" The panel shows the crowded exterior and interior of the pub, filled with various rough-looking pirates drinking, laughing, and eating at tables. The atmosphere is rowdy and chaotic, typical of a pirate haven. Page 14: At the bar in the Mocktown tavern, Nami, Luffy, and Zoro are seated. A pirate next to them advises, "I don't know... This town just ain't right. Ahaha... Yeah, I suppose it's normal to think that, but there aren't many normal folks here in this town. The log here takes 4 days to record, so if you don't wanna get caught up in trouble, you should leave right after." Nami looks at her Log Pose and says, "4 days, huh... Then we shouldn't stay any longer than 2 days..." Luffy and Zoro simultaneously slam their hands on the bar and yell loudly, "HEY MISTER!" and "HEY MR.!" Nami yells at them, "Barkeep." The large, muscular barkeep, Terry, with a thick mustache and tattoos on his arms, turns around and asks, "What?" Page 15: Inside the tavern, Luffy and a massive, dark-haired man, Marshall D. Teach, are sitting next to each other at the bar, both eating cherry pie. Teach, wearing a white shirt and a black bandana, takes a huge bite of his pie and yells enthusiastically, "This cherry pie is... TO DIE FOR!" At the exact same time, Luffy takes a bite of his own pie, looks completely disgusted, and yells, "This cherry pie is so gross I thought I'D DIE!" The two of them stop eating and slowly turn to look at each other, glaring intensely. The other patrons in the bar notice the sudden tension and murmur, "Hm?" and "Huh?" as they watch the standoff between the two pirates.
