After a bit of walking Griff noticed more and more marine troops gathering around them, had they noticed him? Even if he didn’t have a big bounty, he did have one, and he was known for being one slippery bastard, or was it for the straw hat guy, he was a pirate captain, who knows how much his bounty’s worth, not to mention his crew mates. Walking a little faster to reach Sammy, he reached inside his cart and took out a riffle and some bags that he left in his pants pocket. 
“Hey staw hat, don’t look alarmed but, were being surrounded by marines, I believe they’re looking for us, I can get us out of here but I’d prefer to keep my cart, how bout we team up to get out of here?”
Meanwhile the marine grunts
Grunt 1: There he is, that slippery bastard with the low bounty, if we catch him maybe we can get a promotion.
Grunt 2: He isn’t that strong, but the guy next to him, who is he?
Grunt 3: Who cares, if he doesn’t even have a bounty he can’t be that strong
Grunt 1: but that Griff guy did say he wanted to join his crew, could the other guy be the Master of a thief’s guild? If so we could get an even bigger promotion!
Grunt 4: *by denden mushi* Hey, they’re arriving at the ambush zone, get ready.
