One Piece Manga Chapter 158

While the crew argues about Luffy’s irresponsible behavior, Smoker and Ace have a confrontation at the restaurant. Smoker moves to arrest Ace when a starving Luffy suddenly runs into the restaurant, chasing both Smoker and Ace away. As Luffy begins to eat in front of the confused gathering, Smoker and Ace realize that the one who hit them is the one they are both looking for. Smoker reacts first and confronts Luffy. After an abnormally long time, Luffy realizes his situation and flees the restaurant, unaware of Ace’s presence. While the marines chase after Luffy, the rest of the crew buy some local clothing (much to Sanji’s delight) to blend in. Unfortunately, their captain soon reveals his position and forces everyone to flee. Just as Smoker is about to catch Luffy with his Moku Moku no Mi, Ace intervenes.

The crew waits for Luffy to return when they see Mr. 3’s ship. Meanwhile, Smoker confronts Ace and the audience is stunned that the Whitebeard Pirates commander is there, while Luffy smells the food from the restaurant, Smoker prepares to attack Ace when Luffy rockets flies into the room. Luffy then orders his food while Ace apologizes for the mess and recognizes Luffy, but is pushed down by Smoker, who also recognizes him, but is annoyed by Luffy’s disinterest and rudeness. Luffy then recognizes Smoker and runs away while Ace and Smoker chase after him. Smoker warns Tashigi about Luffy, who then tries to stop Luffy, but is unable to, and Smoker is forced to go after him alone. Meanwhile, Vivi and Nami try different perfumes to Sanji’s delight but Chopper’s horror. Vivi then explains that they need to get to Yuba so she can talk to Koza, the leader of the rebellion. Luffy suddenly appears to be being chased by marines, including Smoker, who attacks him until he is stopped by Ace, whom Luffy recognizes.
