Teach, Bellamy, tavern patrons ### Summary 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. Page 18: Marshall D. Teach grabs his massive sack of 50 cherry pies and turns to leave the tavern. He says, "Whoa there. No rough-housing inside the bar. Now take this and leave." He walks out the swinging doors of the tavern, muttering "Hmph..." Luffy watches him go, still looking annoyed. Suddenly, the tavern doors burst open again with a loud "CREAK...!!" The patrons inside gasp in shock. A tall figure stands in the doorway, casting a long shadow. It's Bellamy, grinning widely with a manic expression. He announces loudly to the room, "IS THERE A PIRATE WEARING A STRAW-HAT HERE...?" Luffy looks over his shoulder at the newcomer. A patron in the background stammers in fear, "I-IT'S BELLAMY!" The atmosphere in the bar instantly changes from rowdy to terrified.
