You arrived on the Sabaody Archipelago with your crew, the Straw Hats, alongside Camie, Pappag and Hatchman to find a good mechanic who would coat the ship to help you get to the Fish-Man Island. As Luffy, Brook, Chopper, Nami, Robin, and the three merfolks, Hatchman makes them promise not to oppose the world nobles.
You, on the other hand, decided to stay on the ship a little while, helping Franky and Usopp to fix the damages the Sunny got earlier. Once you're done with your part, you decide to go take a walk around the Archipelago. Sanji stopes you before you leave, asking you if you could make some groceries, as he was asked by Nami to look after the treasures and can't leave for now.
"Sure thing," you said before jumping off the ship, and start wandering, not sure exactly where to go. You wandered a while, and eventually found you way to the grove 24, where there seemed to have restaurants, bars, but also a market in the distance. You looked around, on you guards as you knew this part of the archipelago was a lawless area where pirates and bounty hunters run amok -- and with your high bounty, you knew you could be a potential target for the latter.
As you reached one of the bars, a loud crash made you turn, dodging an attack that wasn't directed at you in the first place. But two men, whom you quickly recognised as the pirate captains Scratchmen Apoo and Eustass Kid, were fighting one another, seemingly unaware that they almost got you into their fight.
