## One Piece Chapter 448: Moria - Chapter: 448 - Pages: 0-17 - Characters: Enel, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Cindry, Brook, Luffy, Franky, Sanji, Zoro, Robin, Gecko Moria ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 448: "MORIA" opens with Enel's Great Space Mission Vol. 17, "FLASHBACK - BORN THAT DAY ON KARAKURI ISLAND." In a laboratory on Karakuri Island, a hooded inventor bends over a small mechanical soldier at a workbench, the little automaton's beginning framed as a memory. Page 1: Inside the mansion, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper find a room covered with photographs of Cindry. Usopp studies the portraits and says, "NOW THAT I LOOK AT IT AGAIN, SHE'S QUITE PRETTY..." then realizes, "THE SERVANT GIRL, CINDRY-CHAN... IS THIS HER ROOM...?" Nami doubts it: "WOULD YOU PUT UP THIS MANY PICTURES OF YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN ROOM?" Chopper notices the difference between the woman in the photos and the Cindry they met: "BUT SHE HAD A LOT OF SCARS FROM STITCHES ALL OVER HER FACE AND BODY." Usopp agrees, "THAT'S TRUE... NONE OF THESE PHOTOS HAVE THEM... IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S SOMEONE ELSE... SO IT MUST BE HER OLD PHOTO...!!" Page 2: Chopper reads the clippings in the room and finds the name behind the photographs: "VICTORIA CINDRY..." He explains, "IT SEEMS LIKE SHE WAS A FAIRLY FAMOUS STAGE ACTRESS. LOOK, THESE ARE ALL THE ARTICLES ABOUT HER." Usopp is confused because she was introduced as a servant: "ACTRESS? DIDN'T HE SAY THAT SHE WAS A SERVANT SOMEWHERE BEFORE, TOO?" Nami remembers the story: "SHE WAS KICKED OUT AFTER SHE BROKE SOME DISHES OR SOMETHING." Chopper says that version makes no sense: "LOOKING AT THIS, IT'S UNTHINKABLE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SHE WAS BORN INTO AN ARISTOCRATIC FAMILY. SHE WAS POPULAR EVER SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD..." Then he freezes at a darker article. Usopp asks, "WHAT IS IT?" Chopper reads, "... FELL OFF THE STAGE..." and Nami finishes the discovery: "SHE DIED IN AN ACCIDENT... TEN YEARS AGO." Page 3: The truth hits them at once. Usopp screams, "WHAAAA!? WH-WH-WH-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?" Nami insists, "SHE WAS ALIVE!! SHE'S NOT DEAD!!" Chopper looks shaken but follows the logic: "... BUT IF THAT OBITUARY IS REAL, THEN THAT MEANS THAT SHE'S BEEN DEAD ONCE AND REVIVED." He reaches the conclusion none of them wanted: "THE ONES ON THIS ISLAND ARE... REALLY ZOMBIES. THE ONES THAT WE SAW ARE ALL... THE DEAD BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE!!" Outside, the mansion howls, and Usopp cries, "WHAT THE HELL!? IT'S GETTING EVEN CREEPIER...!! IT WAS BETTER NOT TO KNOW THAT...!!" Then Chopper spots a chest and instantly changes mood: "WAIT, USOPP!! ISN'T THAT... A TREASURE CHEST!!?" Usopp and Nami shout for him to try it: "WHAT A QUICK CHANGE!" "OPEN IT!! TRY TO OPEN THAT CHEST!" Page 4: The treasure chest springs open as a trap. A jack-in-the-box zombie bursts out yelling, "TOO BAAAD!!! THE PLACE TO HOLD THE TREASURE ISN'T IN HERE!!!!" The three shriek, "GYAAH!! JACK IN THE BOOOOX!!!" and more zombies spill from the wall paintings. Someone cries, "THEY CAME OUT!" and the room erupts with "GYAAAAH, PAINTING ZOMBIES!!!" Even in panic, Usopp catches the clue in the zombie's words: "'THE PLACE TO HOLD THE TREASURE'... ISN'T IN HERE!? THAT ZOMBIE DEFINITELY SAID THAT...!!" Page 5: In the mansion hallway, zombies realize intruders are loose. One calls out, "OOH, IT'S YOU...!! IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SOMEONE IS LOST IN THE MANSION...!!" and another greets the skeletal swordsman as "OH! BODYGUARD...!!" Brook answers cheerfully, "YO HO HO HO HO!!! NOT A PROBLEM!! I'LL CATCH THEM." Outside, Luffy is still imagining bizarre new crewmates. Franky complains, "WE ALREADY HAVE A RACCOON DOG AND A ROBOT, AMONG OTHER THINGS!!!" and snaps, "HEY, I'M NOT A ROBOT, I'M A CYBORG, YOU DORK!!" Someone shoots back, "WELL, YOU'RE NOT A HUMAN ANYMORE, THAT'S FOR SURE." Page 6: Luffy keeps the absurd argument going: "I'M BASED ON A HUMAN!!" Franky fires back, "YOU'RE BASED ON SOMETHING ABNORMAL!!!" and Sanji protests, "NO, I'M NOT PRAISING YOU!!!" Luffy looks ahead eagerly: "WHAT'S GONNA COME OUT NEXT~~~ HOW FUN~~~ LIKE THE 'TREE MAN' AND THAT 'UNICORN' THAT WE JUST SAW..." Zoro asks, "WHAT IS IT?" Robin calmly summarizes the pattern: "THE COMMON DENOMINATOR FOR THE ODD CREATURES IN THIS FOREST ARE BANDAGES, SCARS FROM STITCHES, AND NUMBERS ENGRAVED ON THEIR BODIES." Zoro agrees, "NUMBERS, HUH... THAT'S TRUE." Robin says, "... IT MEANS THAT THEY'RE BEING MONITORED BY SOMETHING. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS." Then Luffy hears something and says, "HM? I CAN HEAR SOMETHING." Pale ghosts drift out of the dark, murmuring, "NEGATIVE. NEGATIVE," and the crew spots them: "THERE!! IT'S A GHOOOST!!!" Page 7: The ghosts multiply as they float and dance through the graveyard. Someone says, "THEY'RE MULTIPLYING WHILE DANCING, HOW FUNNY!?" while another mutters, "WHAT A DISTURBING CALL..." Luffy's first reaction is not fear but desire: "I'LL CATCH AND RAISE THEM!!" Franky recognizes the danger too late: "THEY'RE TOTALLY SPIRITS... ALL RIGHT..." Luffy attacks with a net and shouts, "FRESH FIRE!!!!" b...
