Luffy, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, hotel staff, Sarquiss, Lily ### Summary 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!" 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...!"
