Just as Runa was about to test her luck to try a sip of alcohol, the doors were slammed open, silencing the entire room. Luffy was sitting at the side, eating calmly, while Runa was just observing the newcomers with a condescending gaze that most children won't have.
"Hey, get us some booze! We want six bottles!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Runa almost instantly lost interest at their existence after the conversation, she merely kept an eye on them to see what they would do when they found out the booze was sold out. Each time Shanks and the rest came to drink, Makino's booze would be emptied out. She needed to get it restocked almost every day.
"I'm sorry but we're all out of booze," Makino apologised with a slight dip of her head, maintaining customary courtesy towards the wild bandits.
The bandit leader, assuming he was him, scoffed, "Out of booze? Then what are these idiots drinking? Water?"
Makino kept her calm smile, "Those were the last of my stock. If you'd like, you can come back tomorrow and I'll have six bottles set aside for you."
"Woman, don't you know who I am?" The man snarled, bringing out a rather unimpressive-looking bounty poster with his picture, name, and a small bounty. Higuma. 8,000,000 berries as bounty. Pretty high when it comes to East Blue. But, he was actually flaunting his bounty around? Bringing it on his body to use as a threatening device?
"Is he an idiot?" Runa questioned quietly under her breath before nodding to herself, "He is an idiot."
Sina, sitting beside her, covered up his laughter at her comment by taking another sip from his drink.
Shanks was not affected at all, "We must have drunk all the booze, how about this bottle? It's unopen?"
Higuma stared at Shanks incredulously before taking the bottle and smashing it on Shanks' head. Runa watched the scene with more interest, curious as to what Shanks would do. If it was Luffy who was injured, Runa might have already come up with a few dozen methods to humiliate the pirate and brew up an entire vocabulary of condescending words to bestow upon Higuma.
Shanks didn't say anything to defend himself, he merely got onto his knees and began cleaning, "What a shame, the booze is all wasted. Makino-san, can you get me a wet cloth and a broom? Don't want all these getting around."
"Pfft, pathetic," Higuma scoffed, "Come on, men. Let's go! Don't bother with these weak pirates."
Runa's respect for Shanks might have just risen a little bit.
