## One Piece Chapter 661, pages 6-7: The Lake of Bandits - Chapter: 661 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nico Robin, Usopp, Boss, Brook ### Summary Page 6: Before the centaurs can finish them, their weapons fail. The gun barrels are suddenly covered in ice, and the attackers are shocked: "What is it?! What just happened?!!!" They cough and groan while one says, "Agg ghhh...!!" Another asks, "Huh?" as bodies fall around them. Usopp shouts from the lake, "Ahhh hahah hh!!" The attack has been interrupted from behind, and the centaurs cannot understand why their firearms have frozen solid. The page gives the Straw Hats a sudden reprieve without yet showing the rescuer clearly, shifting the momentum away from Boss's trap. Page 7: Brook steps into the fight with his blade drawn and announces, "It may be a little late for a warning now, but just so you know... I froze all of your gun barrels." He adds, "Though the icy blizzard blows strong, the winds of the underworld blow icier still!!! If you fire them, they might just explode!!" The centaurs recognize him as the skeleton from earlier and shout, "!! Who the devil are you, skeleton mask?!" Brook corrects them with dignity: "My name is not important. I am Brook!! A parched white skeleton, returned from the land of the dead... to serve a new captain, the one called Straw Hat!!! Some call me... the Soul King!!" The centaurs demand payment for the damaged weapons, and Brook answers, "I will pay?!" The page reintroduces Brook as both rescuer and performer, saving the crew with cold power and announcing his loyalty to Luffy.
