The Dadan Family and the villagers of Foosha Village knew this all too well, so after surrounding Luffy, they exchanged looks and unanimously made a decision, just to be safe.
When Dadan returned with the plates she had bought, she found Luffy tied up tightly in the middle of the crowd.
"Just leave the brat like that," Dadan continued. "If those people really wanted to hurt us, they wouldn't have just knocked us out, left Luffy alive, or bandaged him up. He must have picked a fight with them himself and ended up covered in injuries. Take Luffy back. I'll deal with them."
