## One Piece Chapter 66, pages 12-13: THE STIFLED SPEAR - Chapter: 66 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Sanji, Zeff, Krieg Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 12: Sanji sits exhausted on the floating wreckage of the Baratie's fin, his clothes soaked and torn, blood trickling down his face. Zeff stands beside him, looking out over the water. Zeff begins to speak, sharing his wisdom: "IF THE FLEET THAT KRIEG AMASSED," "ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF HIS WEAPONS, ARMOURS, AND EVEN HIS POISON GAS CAN BE SEEN AS HIS 'MIGHT,'" "THEN THE 'SPEAR' OF THAT BOY..." "IS HIS OWN BRAND OF MIGHT ALL THE SAME." Sanji listens intently, quietly repeating the word, "SPEAR..". Zeff continues his explanation, his face serious and weathered: "NO MATTER HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF WEAPONS OR ARMOUR ONE IS EQUIPPED WITH," "THEY'RE NO MATCH FOR THAT 'ONE SPECIAL SPEAR' THAT COMES FROM YOUR GUTS...". In the background, Krieg's men are in turmoil, crying out for their fallen leader: "DON! HANG IN THERE!" and "DAMN IT! HOW COULD OUR DON HAVE BEEN...!". Sanji stares intensely at the ocean surface, absorbing Zeff's words and reflecting on Luffy's unwavering determination, thinking to himself, "CONVICTION...". Page 13: Sanji stands up on the wooden deck, his head bowed slightly as he reflects on Zeff's words. He says quietly, "I HAPPEN TO KNOW OF A CERTAIN IDIOT," "WHO'D STIFLE THAT VERY SPEAR FOR NO GOOD REASON...". Zeff, standing nearby, interrupts his thoughts with a sharp reprimand: "WHAT'RE YOU SITTING THERE FOR? HURRY UP AND GO RESCUE HIM 'CAUSE HE AIN'T COMING BACK UP ON HIS OWN." Zeff then reveals a crucial piece of information: "THOSE WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES OBTAINED FROM DEVIL FRUITS ARE HATED BY THE SEA AND CAN'T SWIM." A panel shows Luffy sinking deeper underwater, still trapped in the net, bubbles escaping his mouth. Sanji's eyes widen in absolute shock and panic. He yells furiously at Zeff, "WHA! YOU DAMN GEEZER, YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME THAT SOONER!". Zeff simply smirks, letting out a quiet "HMF...". Without wasting another second, Sanji dives headfirst off the deck into the ocean with a large splash, rushing to save the drowning rubber boy.
