Gyari glares menacingly at Luffy, warning him, "BUT THIS TIME YOU PICKED THE WRONG ENEMY. YOU HAVE ANGERED A PERSON NO ONE IN THE WORLD WANTS TO MAKES AN ENEMY OF - THE MAN WHO WILL ENTER THE 'BEST 3,' GYARI..". However, Luffy has already walked away, leaving Gyari talking to empty air. Gyari's subordinate sweatdrops, saying, "HE'S GONE." and "OH, HE IS." Gyari furiously punches his subordinate with a loud "BONK" and screams, "I'LL KILL HIM!!!" Luffy walks down the quiet streets of the village, thinking, "THIS IS A QUIET VILLAGE, HUH... I'LL SET THOSE GUYS FREE SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY OUT AT SEA. IF THEY GOT OUT HERE AND STARTED RAMPAGING ABOUT, IT'D SEEM LIKE I BROUGHT THEM HERE." Suddenly, the village headman pops up in front of him, startled. Luffy blinks and says, "WAH" and "OH, HI. YOU HAVE A STRANGE HEAD, HUH?". The headman, sweating, bows and says, "I AM THIS VILLAGE'S HEADMAN! WE'LL LISTEN TO YOUR DEMANDS."
