## One Piece Chapter 444, pages 8-9: Adventure at Ghost Island - Chapter: 444 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Robin, Nami ### Summary Page 8: On the Sunny, the mystery deepens. With a splash and a heavy "GAKO..." the anchor suddenly drops. Sanji and Luffy stare: "EH!?" "THE ANCHOR JUST DROPPED!!!" Yet Zoro says, "NO ONE TOUCHED IT THOUGH!!!" Robin adds, "THERE'S NO WAY THE COG-WHEEL COULD BE LOOSE. IT'S BRAND NEW...!" Zoro decides, "ANYWAY, RAISE THE ANCHOR AGAIN, OR THE SHIP WILL LOSE ITS BALANCE!!" Then the hatch opens by itself. Luffy asks, "...!? HUH? THE HATCH OPENED BY ITSELF!?" and "... DID ANYONE TOUCH IT?" Zoro answers, "NO... NO ONE WAS EVEN NEAR IT." Luffy goes still, murmuring, "HRM?" while the empty deck seems to move around them. Page 9: Luffy suddenly stands with his face stretched sideways, making a strange "NNM?" Sanji shouts, "HEY, LUFFY!! WHY ARE YOU JOKING AROUND AT A TIME LIKE THIS!?" Luffy insists through the pulled mouth, "NOH, ISN NOH HAT!!" "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!" Sanji demands, "YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING? THEN WHAT'S WITH THAT MOUTH!?" Nami yells from below, "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU FOOLING AROUND!?" Then an animal-like growl cuts through the scene: "GRRR..." and "UWAH!!!" Zoro reacts instantly. Robin says, "AN ANIMAL SOUND...!?" Zoro draws and slashes toward the source with a sharp "SLAH," striking through the air: "HRMM!!?"
