Chapter 224 of One Piece has Bellamy ambush Luffy in a bar, mocking dreamers and the very idea of a sky island, while Luffy and Zoro choose to absorb the beating rather than break their promise and waste a fight on him.
Summary
Townsfolk marvel at the damage Bellamy left where he crushed Roshio, guessing he wields a Devil Fruit. Bellamy enters the tavern, confirms Luffy is the 30,000,000-berry rookie, and feigns friendliness by buying him a drink. As Luffy lowers his guard, Bellamy slams his head into the counter while his crew laughs and slaughters bystanders for seats. Zoro draws a blade to Bellamy's throat, but Nami stops him, reminding him they still have no information.
Key Events
Nami openly asks the barkeep about the sky island, and the whole room erupts in laughter, insisting Log Poses simply malfunction. Bellamy ridicules anyone foolish enough to chase dreams, declaring such people weaklings unfit for his "New Age" crew, then strikes Luffy with a bottle. The crowd joins in, pelting the three and demanding they leave. When Nami tells Luffy and Zoro the promise no longer holds and they may retaliate, Luffy instead orders Zoro never to buy into this fight.
Notes
Part of the Jaya arc, this chapter marks Luffy's direct meeting with Bellamy. The cover continues Hatchan's Sea-Floor Stroll, with a defeated Hatchan watching the sunset as Camie and Pappag comfort him.
