## One Piece Chapter 429, pages 12-13: Complete Defeat - Chapter: 429 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Nico Robin, Spandam, Nami, Franky, Sogeking, Going Merry ### Summary Page 12: Spandam tries to claw back control with his last spite. He orders, "SPARE ME..." and then "CLUTCH!!" Robin catches him in her power, crushing him as he screams "GYAA-AAH!!!" and calls, "CHIEF, SIR!!!" Nami yells, "FRANKY, YOUR TURN!!" Franky answers, "ALL RIGHT!!!" and prepares "COUP DE" while warning that it will hurt the ship a little. He blasts Merry with "VENT!!!" and the little ship leaps from the whirlpool path. At the same time Sogeking fires "HISSATSU" and "CHO KEMURI-BOSHI!!!" creating a smoke screen. The Marines cry, "TH-THE PIRATE SHIP JUMPED!!!" and realize Merry has leapt out of the fleet's range. Page 13: Smoke blooms between Merry and the warships. The Marines shout, "IT'S A SMOKE-SCREEN!!" and keep firing into the chaos, but the whirlpools have taken control of their ships. "IMPOSSIBLE. THE WHIRLPOOLS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OVER THE SHIPS. WE'RE BARELY FLOATING!!" one admits. Another curses, "AFTER THEM!!! WE WON'T LOSE IN SPEED!!!" but the ship that should have been trapped is already slipping away. Merry sails out through spray and smoke while Spandam howls, "BASTARD...!!!" behind them.
