## One Piece Chapter 158, pages 3-5: Docking at Alabasta - Chapter: 158 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Smoker, Portgas D. Ace, gossiping men, Luffy ### Summary Page 3: In a local establishment, two men are gossiping. One whispers, "Did you hear? He's one of the Whitebeard pirates..." The other gulps and adds, "That marine called Smoker's pretty famous too!" Inside the "Spice bean" restaurant, Marine Captain Smoker stands over a man seated at a table. The man wears an orange hat adorned with two smiley faces and a skull necklace. The man asks casually, "So? What d'ya want me to do...?" Smoker, clenching two cigars in his teeth, demands, "Give yourself up without resisting." The man, Portgas D. Ace, simply smirks and replies, "Sorry, No can do, Smokie." Page 4: Outside in the city streets, Luffy is sprinting at full speed, sniffing the air eagerly. "SNIFF SNIFF. What's that? I smell something strange..." he wonders. He suddenly spots a large building ahead. "OVER THERE! A RESTAURANT!" he yells, dashing towards it. Back inside the restaurant, Smoker tells Ace, "...I'm already on the hunt for another pirate right now, So I don't particularly care about taking your head... So just look the other way then." Ace, resting his chin on his hand, smiles and refuses, "I'm afraid I can't do that." Page 5: Smoker prepares for a fight, smoke beginning to billow from his arm and shoulders. "AS LONG AS I'M A MARINE, AND YOU'RE A PIRATE, THAT IS...!" he declares. Ace maintains his relaxed smile, saying, "Well, let's see what ya got." Smoker mutters, "What a dull reason..." Suddenly, a loud "YAHOO!" echoes from outside. Luffy comes hurtling through the air, propelled by his stretching powers. With a shout of "ROCKET!", Luffy crashes feet-first directly into Smoker's back. Smoker yells "GAHH!" in pain, while Ace looks on in utter shock, exclaiming "WHA!?"
