Long Summary
As a thank for saving his life, Gin will make the honor to kill Sanji by himself which does not seem to disturb the cook. Luffy too does not see himself loosing in front of such a crew. For Don Krieg Pirates, who see themselves as the most powerfull of East Blue, this is unforgivable and they start to rush at the two kids. However, they are immediatly stopped by their captain: while he is here they have not to be worry of who is the stronger. But when he asks Luffy the question, he has not the expected answer, Luffy naturally says he is strongest one here. In order to make him realise the difference between the two of them, Don Krieg threatens Luffy with one of his strongest weapon: poison gas MH5. But when Luffy tries to bounce it back, it reveals to be a shuriken bomb. Hurt, Luffy admits he was tricked, but still does not change his mind of who his the strongest. More and more pissed, Don Krieg asks Gin to take care of Sanji, while he will deal with Luffy personnaly.
