'Now I 'm not saying they 'll say yes, ' I caution. 'Plus we would need a meeting place, and some of these folks are ' rather rowdy and high maintenance. '

'I don 't really give a shit about other people, ' Luffy says bluntly. 'But if you wanna meet 'em, that 's cool. '

'Aren 't these guys, like, super dangerous? ' Usopp squeaks, peeking over Nami 's shoulder.

'If it 's any consolation, only one of them has a bounty higher than Luffy 's, ' I offer. 'And that 's only because he murders civilians like it 's going out of style. '
