Cover
Jango's Dance Paradise Vol. 25:- "The Brittle Fang Called Justice"

With the woman as their hostage, Fullbody can do nothing but take a beating by the pirate captain.

Short Summary
While the crew is arguing about Luffy's irresponsible behaviour, Smoker and Ace are confronting each other in the restaurant. Smoker starts to make a move to arrest Ace, when suddenly, a starving Luffy bumps into the restaurant, propelling both Smoker and Ace away in the process. While Luffy is starting to eat in front of a bemused assembly, Smoker and Ace realise that the guy who hit them is the one they are looking for. Smoker reacts first and confronts Luffy. After an abnormal (but funny) amount of time, our hero realises his situation and flees the restaurant, hence not realising the presence of Ace. While the marines are pursuing Luffy, the rest of the crew has bought some local clothes (much to Sanji's delight) in order to remain anonymous. Unfortunately for them, their captain soon give them out, forcing everyone to flee. While Smoker is about to catch Luffy thanks to his Moku Moku no Mi, Ace interposes.
