"He's Gin, from the Don Krieg pirates!" A customer shouted in amazement, echoing the surprise throughout the establishment.

"The most powerful pirate group in East Blue?" Another voice spoke with evident fear, creating a wave of apprehension among those present.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Luffy, who was still laughing at Gin's situation, completely ignored the common customers' despair around him, receiving strange looks from everyone.

"Hey, this guy is crazy!"
"He may be a 10-million pirate, but he's messing with one of Don Krieg's main members."
"He's asking for death!"
"HAHAHAHAH. I couldn't help but find this man's situation funny." Luffy said to his companions, indifferent to the comments coming from other parts.

"You seem to be in a good mood..." Zoro couldn't help but comment on the side, watching the confusion unfold.

"Stop laughing like that; you're attracting too much attention!" Nami yelled at Luffy.
"If Don Krieg hunts us down, won't we be in trouble?" Usopp asked a bit cautiously, voicing his concerns.

Gin, not liking any of this, ignored it for now and walked to an empty table, sitting down and waiting for service. Silence fell over the place once again, at least for the customers, while Luffy squeezed the last laughs out of his throat.

A waiter with a funny expression approached the solitary Gin, a waiter Luffy had not seen before. When he reached the man from Don Krieg, the waiter seemed like a terrible actor, displaying a forced smile and scratching his hands while saying, "Dear customer, how may I assist you?" The clearly weak performance was quite funny in Luffy's opinion.

"Food, just food, and a lot of it!" Gin said desperately.

"Sure, but may I ask beforehand if you have money to pay?" The waiter said, closing his eyes with his smile more forced than usual.

"Will a bullet do?" Gin simply spoke, pointing a gun at the waiter's head.

"So, you don't have a penny, do you?" The man asked, maintaining that strange smile.

*CRACK!*

Before Gin could react, the waiter clasped his hands and connected the pirate to the ground. Gin didn't even realize when he was hit, lying there like a kicked dog.

"OWWW!" The crowd found this surprising.

"PATTY, YOU BROKE A CHAIR, I'M DEDUCTING IT FROM YOUR SALARY!" Zeff shouted from the kitchen entrance, coming out as soon as he heard another commotion.

"That strength!" Kuina found it surprising.

"If you don't pay, you're not a customer!" Patty said, crossing his arms in front of the man on the ground with a fierce expression, much different from what he had until then. Gin was stunned, his stomach growling at this moment, showing how weak he was to react.

"That's right, waiter!"
"You got him there!"

While customers and waiters celebrated, Luffy noticed Reiju once again, next to the owner, simply turning around to the kitchen when Patty grabbed Gin and dragged him through the restaurant.

The waiter Patty simply threw Gin out of the boat.

"That was harsh..." Nami murmured.

"Is this pirate really dangerous, Luffy-Sama?" Shirahoshi asked, showing her concern for the unusual event.
"No, just an ant in this sea, all pirates are weak here..." Luffy simply spoke, his voice echoing through the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. His eyes observed the movement around, while his mind seemed to wander in thoughts.
