A tall man with tanned skin, an angular face, and long wiry black hair stepped through the door of the bar and looked around. There was a woman with short orange hair sitting at the bar, talking with several pirates and claiming to know a specific Rubberman. The man turned his head down again, his hair fqlling in his face and hiding it. Then, the man started over.
"Excuse me for interrupting," the man apologized. "But, did you say you know Monkey D. Luffy?"
"Yeah," the woman nodded. "You know him?"
"No," the man grinned, his pointed teehglinting. "But he's about to know me."
The pirates, all sensing his hotile intent, reached for their swords and the man released a bark of harsh laughter. Then, he grabbed the woman as a pair of massive scaled wings erupted from his back. The pirates slashed at him but the man whot skyward with the womn, holding her by the throat. He looked down at the men and they stared at him in awe and fear.
"Relax," the man chuckled. "One of you will live. At least, long enough to tell the Rubberman of me."
Then, he roared and a massive stream of white flames shot out of his mouth, engulfing the inside of the bar.
