## One Piece Chapter 78, pages 0-1: BELLEMERE - Chapter: 78 - Pages: 0-1 - Characters: Usopp, Nami, Arlong, Kuroobi, unidentified fish-man ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays "CHAPTER 78" and the title "BELLEMERE". The illustration shows Usopp sitting on a wooden stool outdoors, holding a paintbrush and a palette. He is painting a large black sign that reads "$100,000,000" with a portrait of a woman. Several other framed paintings of landscapes and portraits lean against a brick wall behind him. The ground is littered with art supplies, scattered papers, a spilled bottle of ink, a jar labeled "BERRY", and a large duck-like creature wearing a striped hat and a backpack. To the right, the arm and side of a woman, likely Nami, are visible as she stands near Usopp. Page 1: In Cocoyasi Village, Arlong stands tall among the houses, addressing the terrified villagers. He announces the new tax: "100,000 BELI FOR ONE HUMAN ADULT, AND 50,000 BELI FOR ONE HUMAN CHILD." His crew of fish-men surrounds him, armed and intimidating. Kuroobi, a ray fish-man, stands nearby with his arms crossed and asks, "HOW MANY HAVE WE COLLECTED SO FAR?" Arlong, grinning menacingly with his sharp teeth, replies, "CONSIDERING THAT WE CAME WITH NO NOTICE, WE'LL ONLY KILL THOSE WHO CAN'T PAY UP RIGHT NOW...!" Another fish-man reports the total: "ALMOST 25 MILLION..." Arlong's grin widens as he says, "EXCELLENT! THIS IS... TOO MUCH..."
