"That's all bullshit!"
"People's dreams never end!"
Teach smashed his empty bottle against the floor and shouted!
"Am I right?"
Teach looked at Luffy and asked loudly.
"..."
"Bullying people isn't all that much fun either!"
"Once you've set your sights on a goal, go for it! If people want to laugh, let them!"
"You don't always need your fists to fight!"
With that, Teach picked up the meat the bartender had wrapped for him earlier and stood.
"Sorry for the interruption. I'll be going, Mr. Barn."
Barn didn't look up. He simply raised his glass to Teach.
Teach nodded and walked out, but as he passed Luffy, he said,
"Hope you can get there... Sky Island."
"Hahaha! The booze tastes especially good today!"
Teach left, and the crowd that had fallen silent burst into laughter again.
"Is that guy nuts? Hahahaha!"
"What's with the sudden shouting? Is he a rabid dog? Haha!"
"He actually believes in that nonexistent Sky Island too? Haha! Since when did this place have so many country bumpkins?"
"Wahahahaha! I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts!"
Amid the raucous laughter, Barn finally put down his long-empty glass, walked over to Luffy, and picked up the package full of cherry pies.
"Let's go, Luffy."
At Barn's actions, everyone who had been mocking Luffy stopped laughing at once and stared oddly at the man worth ten billion.
"Don't mind them. Didn't you say it yourself? You're the man who's going to become the Pirate King."
"You don't live in the same world to begin with. Why bother with them?"
With that, Barn left the tavern, leaving behind a roomful of drunks whose faces looked as though they'd swallowed flies...
"Sigh. In the end, we didn't learn anything..."
Back aboard the ship, Nami sighed.
"Hey! What's wrong, Nami?
