Gyari's pirates quickly overpower the villagers. One pirate pins Shiruku to the ground, holding a sword to her back and asking, "STILL PLAN ON FIGHTING?". Shiruku groans in pain, "UH". The village headman cries out in despair, "STOP ALREADY, SHIRUKU!!". Shiruku, pinned to the ground, yells back, "BUT!!...IF WE HAND OVER OUR VALUABLES NOW, THIS VILLAGE WILL START TO BECOME EASY PREY FOR PIRATES AGAIN!!". Luffy, still tied up in ropes, watches the scene silently.

The village headman weeps, saying, "WE CAN'T... SACRIFICE OUR LIVES.... THESE AREN'T OPPONENTS WE CAN MATCH.". Shiruku closes her eyes in bitter defeat. Luffy, still tied up, looks at Gyari and remarks, "NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, THAT'S A WEIRD BEARD.". Gyari is enraged, screaming, "DID YOU SAY SOMETHING!?". Shiruku and the headman gasp, "WHAT!?" and "EH". Gyari kicks Luffy hard, sending him sliding across the ground with a loud "UGAAH!!". Luffy sits up, completely unharmed, and says, "AHHH, THAT SURPRISED ME. Though it didn't hurt. Since I'm rubber.". Gyari veins pop in anger: "DAMN RUBBER BASTARD!!!"
