## One Piece Chapter 223, pages 8-9: I solemnly swear not to fight in this town - Chapter: 223 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, hotel staff ### Summary Page 8: The trio walks away from the noisy, chaotic area and arrives at a quieter part of town. Nami looks around and says, "What about this place then...? It's not too noisy here." Luffy agrees, "Yeah, it's actually quiet." They look out over the water and see a row of luxurious, resort-style buildings built on stilts over the ocean, surrounded by palm trees. Nami is impressed by the sight, "...Wow, what a lovely place. I guess even a town as wild as here has a place like this." Luffy points out the architecture, "Look at all these villas... It's like a floating ocean resort..." Zoro sniffs the air and says, "I don't see any people around, but I sure can smell something good..." They stand on a wooden walkway leading towards a large, inviting building with a sign that reads "TROPICAL HOTEL". Page 9: As Luffy, Nami, and Zoro approach the Tropical Hotel, three panicked hotel staff members rush out to stop them. The staff wave their arms frantically, sweating and yelling, "S-sirs...? You can't just come in here without any permission! T-this is very troubling for me!" They explain the situation, "Our 'Tropical Hotel,' is currently rented out entirely to the Bellamy Pirates." Luffy looks confused and asks, "Hotel? This is a hotel?" Nami questions their panic, "What's the big deal? We're just looking around." The staff members plead desperately, "I-if Bellamy were to s-s-see you here, it'll be disastrous! So please leave the premises now, if you will-" Luffy tilts his head and asks, "Who's this bellamy?" Suddenly, the staff members freeze in absolute terror. Their eyes bulge out as they look behind the trio and scream, "EEK!"
