Luffy's gaze drifted to the side and he perked up as he noticed a familiar man in gray and green, kneeling on the floor. "Hey, Gin!" he greeted him cheerfully. "Nice to see you again! Did you meet your captain already?"

Gin stared at his goofy grin, completely stumped. "Yes," he replied slowly. "You just kicked him."

Luffy glanced at the figure, slumped at the base of the staircase, then rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Oops."

A sheer silence settled on the restaurant as everyone gawked at the straw-hatted boy in a complete disbelief, while he surveyed his surroundings with a distinct lack of nervousness.
