Branch and John Dory had just escaped the Bergens by climbing up a tree to hide, but Branch didn't understand why they were hiding when his older brother could just defeat them in one blow just like in all the stories he would tell him.

Branch: What are you doing JD? You could totally demolish them! Get back here you ugly beasts!
