## One Piece Chapter 618, pages 15-16: Proposal - Chapter: 618 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Nami, Camie, Jinbe, Hody Jones, Arlong, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Neptune, Usopp ### Summary Page 15: As Nami and Camie continue racing away, Nami connects the warning about Hody to Jinbe's message. Camie says, "I see... But he was in the same crew as Arlong once, right?!" Nami adds, "And that man, Hordy... He thinks of himself as Arlong's successor..." Then she admits what is bothering her: "I'm just thinking about Jimbei's message for Luffy, 'Do not fight with Hordy'... I think I might know why he said that." Camie asks, "Eh? Is it not just because he's dangerous?" Nami answers, "He said he was waiting in the ocean forest, right?! There's more to this incident than meets the eye... and I get the feeling he knows exactly what's going on...!!!" She worries about the crew left behind: "I just hope Zoro and the others don't end up angering Hordy too badly as a result of this incident... At any rate... I have to meet Jimbei!" With urgency rising, she tells Camie, "Caimie... Take me to the ocean forest!" and then shouts, "And hurry!!!" Page 16: Within the palace, the situation has already become exactly what Nami feared. A guard commands, "Listen well, men!!! Of course, your majesty!! We will go after Hordy and his crew at -" but Neptune stops them: "You shall not!!" The king chooses surrender over a doomed fight: "Now that I am in no shape to fight, attempting to do battle with them would only result in meaningless sacrifices. We will surrender the palace for now, regroup with the princes, and await the right opportunity to counterattack!!" The guards are stunned: "Surrender the palace?!! Your majesty, are you quite certain?!!" In the water nearby, Usopp watches in horror as Zoro attacks Hody directly. "What does Zoro think he's doing?! Fighting a fishman in the water is suicide...!" He gasps, "Usopp-san... I... can't..." while someone chokes, "MBLP HH?!" Zoro nevertheless meets Hody underwater, blade drawn, as the guards cry, "Boss!!! Boss!!!"
