Chapter 503 summary
Monkey D. Luffy glares forward with intense narrowed eyes and a serious expression. Sweat shows on his cheek and his mouth sets in a firm line. A massive impact strikes with a loud crash and sends debris and smoke flying. Inside the auction house a panicked crowd flees in all directions across the tiered seating. Smoke and rubble fill the air as people scatter. A small figure runs down the central stairs amid the chaos. Several spectators in the front rows stare with mouths open wide in screams and surprise. Their eyes bulge with terror.
