## One Piece Chapter 109, pages 18-20: MATTER OF RESPONSIBILITY - Chapter: 109 - Pages: 18-20 - Characters: Igaram, Roronoa Zoro, Mr. 9, Nefertari Vivi, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 18: Igaram reaches up to his cravat and pulls a hidden string. Suddenly, the large curls of his hair pop open, revealing that they are actually the barrels of multiple shotguns. Zoro stops in his tracks, assessing the new threat. "THAT SHOTGUN'S A REAL PROBLEM... HOW CAN I CLOSE THE GAP TO GO IN FOR THE CLOSE ATTACK...?" he thinks to himself. Just then, Mr. 9, who has recovered from his crash, leaps out from behind a corner, swinging his metal bat. "HOW DARE YOU HARM ME TO THIS EXTENT...! I SHAN'T FORGIVE YOU! BUT YOU HURT YOURSELF ON YOUR OWN. KATTOBASE SHIKOMI BAT! (Hidden Home-Run Bat!)" He swings the bat, and the tip detaches, flying towards Zoro. Page 19: The detached tip of Mr. 9's bat is connected to a strong iron wire, which wraps tightly around Zoro's left arm and one of his swords, binding him. "IRON WIRE?" Zoro says, surprised. Mr. 9 laughs victoriously. "HAHAHA! I'VE SEALED UP ONE OF YOUR ARMS! THERE YOU ARE." Suddenly, Miss Wednesday appears right next to the sleeping Luffy, holding her sharp Peacock Slasher to his throat. "EXACTLY! HAHA HAHA! I WON'T LET YOU ESCAPE!" she declares. "NOW, MR. 8! FINISH HIM OFF! TIGHTEN! MOVE EVEN A SINGLE MUSCLE, AND CONSIDER YOUR PRECIOUS FRIEND'S LIFE FORFEIT!" Zoro glares at her, realizing he is trapped. Page 20: Luffy continues to snore loudly, completely oblivious to the blade held to his throat. Zoro sweats nervously, thinking, "THAT IDIOT... YOU COULD HAVE WOKEN UP AT THE VERY LEAST BEFORE YOU BECAME A HOSTAGE." On the roof, Igaram laughs heartily. "HAHAHA! NICE, MISS WEDNESDAY! NOT ONLY CAN HE NOT ESCAPE ANYMORE, BUT HE WON'T BE ABLE TO ATTACK EITHER!" Igaram grabs the strings connected to his hair guns, preparing to fire. "PREPARE FOR FIRE! PULL! PREPARATION COMPLETE!" Zoro looks up, his eyes wide with alarm as he realizes the imminent danger.
