Ace, unidentified restaurant patrons, restaurant owner, Smoker, Marines ### Summary Page 13: The man, Portgas D. Ace, looks around, chewing his food. "Whew- Mnn..." He scratches his head and apologizes casually, "My bad... I must've fallen asleep." The restaurant patrons are flabbergasted, screaming in unison, "You fell ASLEEP!?" One patron yells, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HOW COULD A PERSON FALL ASLEEP WHILE TALKING AND EATING!?" Another points in disbelief, "LOOK! HE'S GONE BACK TO EATING AGAIN AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED!" Ace continues to eat his meal calmly, ignoring the uproar. He looks around at the crowd and asks, "So what's everyone all gathered here for?"

The restaurant owner, sweating, replies, "No, but... Well, I'm just relieved that you're alright." Suddenly, Ace falls asleep mid-chew again, his face slamming back into his plate with a "SLUMP". The patrons scream in exasperation, "AGAIN!?" Outside the restaurant, Smoker arrives with his Marines. He looks at the commotion and says, "What, so nobody died? Hmph! All that fuss over nothing..."
