## One Piece Chapter 638, pages 2-3: Runawayhoshi - Chapter: 638 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Shirahoshi, Ryugu Palace, Monkey D. Luffy, Vander Decken IX, Hody Jones, Noah, Jinbe, Sanji ### Summary Page 2: Shirahoshi thinks through the route. The main entrance is too far away, and the bubble would be horribly damaged before she could reach it. She remembers that the last people to leave Ryugu Palace were Luffy's friends and realizes where they must have gone. Below, the citizens cry, "Is there nothing we can do?!" and recognize that the princess is risking her life for them. Others insist that it is not her fault and point out that Decken is on the ship, and Hody has gone up there too. Hody, still panting but driven by hatred, climbs toward Noah while Shirahoshi remains in terrible danger. Page 3: At the plaza, Jinbe warns Luffy that Hody's fishman strength will be on a completely different level up in the ocean. Sanji prepares to send Luffy after him anyway. He knows he cannot simply kick Luffy into open water; he has to get the force just right, strong enough to launch him but not so strong that Luffy becomes helpless. Sanji names the setup `Armee de l'Air...` and drives Luffy upward with `Gomu Shoot!!!` Luffy rockets toward Noah, trusting Sanji's aim and leaving the fight below to the others.
