## One Piece Chapter 15, pages 16-18: GONG - Chapter: 15 - Pages: 16-18 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy, Cabaji, Mohji, Buggy Pirates, Nami, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 16: The top panel shows the massive cannonball flying rapidly through the air towards its target. In the middle panel, Luffy tilts his head back and takes a deep breath with a "HUFF" sound, his chest expanding as he begins his technique, saying, "GUM-GUM...". In the large bottom panel, Luffy has inflated his torso to a gigantic, spherical size, resembling a massive balloon. The cannonball strikes him directly in the center of his stretched stomach, sinking deeply into his rubbery flesh without exploding. A massive "FOOOOH!!" sound effect surrounds him as he completes his attack name, shouting, "...BALLOON!!!". A small "!!?" indicates someone's shock off-panel at the impossible sight. Page 17: In the top panel, the momentum of the cannonball stretches Luffy's rubbery stomach backward to its absolute limit with a tense "GGNNNN...!!" sound effect. The middle panel shows the stunned reactions of Buggy and his crew on the roof. Buggy's eyes bug out in shock as he yells, "...!? WHAT THE HECK IS THAT GUY?!". Beside him, Cabaji and Mohji look on in disbelief, while another pirate exclaims, "HE TOOK A DIRECT HIT FROM A BUGGY BALL!". On the right side of the panel, Nami sweats nervously, her eyes wide with shock. In the large bottom panel, the tension releases with a massive "BOING!!" sound effect. The cannonball rebounds off Luffy's stomach and rockets back toward the Drinker Pub roof with a "VWOOOO". Nami screams in disbelief, "AND HE BOUNCED IT BACK!!!!". In the foreground, Zoro watches the cannonball fly back, calmly remarking to Luffy, "YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST TOLD US WHAT YOU WERE PLANNING...". Page 18: The top half of the page is consumed by a massive explosion on the roof of the building where Buggy and his crew were standing. A gigantic "KABOOM!!!!" sound effect dominates the panel as debris, smoke, and shattered wood fly violently in all directions. From within the blast, the pirates scream in terror and pain, "AAARRRGGGHH!!!!". In the bottom panel, the dust settles on the street below. Luffy stands in the foreground, grinning widely and holding his straw hat on his head. He confidently declares, "THAT EVENS THE ODDS A LITTLE! LET'S GET 'EM!". Behind him, Nami sits slumped on the ground, utterly bewildered by what she just witnessed, asking, "...WHAT ARE YOU!?". To the left, Zoro stands relaxed with his hand resting on his sheathed swords, casually commenting, "MADE ME WORRY FOR NOTHING...".
