## One Piece Chapter 617, pages 8-9: Major Incident on Coral Hill - Chapter: 617 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Hody Jones, Neptune, Roronoa Zoro, Arlong, Brook, Nami, Usopp ### Summary Page 8: Hody turns Neptune's own criticism against him. He says, "You're the fool, Neptune!!! What kind of king takes a bullet for his servants?!! You really aren't fit for the throne at all!!!" Neptune's soldiers plead, "Your majesty!! Please, don't do this!!" while others cry, "That despicable!! Attacking defenseless prisoners!!" Hody's strength is described as "way beyond Arlong's!!" Zoro steps in before Hody can continue slaughtering. He says, "Ittoryu," then unleashes "Yakkodori," a one-sword flying slash that cuts through the water and crashes toward Hody. The page positions Zoro as the only immediate counterweight in the room: the palace is flooding, Hody is at full advantage, and yet Zoro can still answer with a compressed sword strike. Page 9: Zoro's Yakkodori tears into Hody, making him grunt, "Guehh hh!!" A subordinate yells, "H - hold on a minute, boss...!!! That's not-" but the impact has already shown the danger of Zoro's blade. Someone says, "He used his own crewmate as a shield!! He really is a monster!!!" and Zoro immediately orders, "Guys... you go and untie the soldiers!!!" A bound palace official responds with bitter respect: "Our deal with this country is broken!! We were unable to keep our promise to return all the hostages unharmed!! Such honesty...!!" At the same time, Brook calls out, "Could you listen to me?! Nami-san seems to have vanished off somewhere..." Zoro, waist-deep in rising water, notes the practical danger: "And this water flooding in is sapping all of my strength...!!" Usopp reacts, "What?! Nami's vanished?!" The crew is now split, the palace is flooding, and Zoro cannot keep fighting indefinitely underwater.
