## One Piece Chapter 223, pages 15-17: I solemnly swear not to fight in this town - Chapter: 223 - Pages: 15-17 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Marshall D. Teach, Terry, Nami ### Summary 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. Page 16: Luffy and Marshall D. Teach both grab their mugs and chug their drinks. Teach slams his mug down and shouts, "This drink is TERRRR-RIIIIFIC!" Luffy slams his mug down and shouts, "This drink is TERRRR-RIIIIBLE!" They turn and glare at each other again, sparks practically flying between them. Teach yells to the barkeep, Terry, "Gimme 50 pieces of meat wrapped to go!" Luffy immediately counters, "Give me 51 cherry pies wrapped to go!" Teach ups the ante, "Actually, make that 52 pieces of meat." Luffy yells, "Know what, give me 53 cherry pies." They continue bidding higher and higher: "54 pieces of meat," "55 pies will do," "60 pieces of meat!", "70 pies!", "80!", "100!" Terry looks at them, sweating, and says, "Umm... I ain't the cook so I don't really care either way... Somethin' wrong with yer tongue? Somethin' wrong with your brain?" Page 17: Nami grabs Luffy by the collar and yells, "Luffy! You promised, remember!? We don't even have the money to buy that much meat! We didn't come here to shop!" Marshall D. Teach stands up, towering over Luffy, and yells, "WHAT, YOU WANT SOME OF THIS!? HOW DO YOU GET A FIGHT FROM THAT!?" Luffy stands his ground and yells back, "Yeah, so what!?" Teach leans in and asks, "You a pirate...? Bounty?" Luffy confidently replies, "30 MIL!" Teach looks surprised, then laughs mockingly, "30 MIL! 30 mil? You...!?" He leans down close to Luffy's face and says, "LIKE HELL YOU ARE! STOP LYING!" Luffy yells back, "Cut it out! I AIN'T LYIN'! IT'S THE TRUTH!" The tension between them reaches a boiling point as they continue to shout at each other.
