## One Piece Chapter 21, pages 15-17: VILLAGE - Chapter: 21 - Pages: 15-17 - Characters: Boodle, villagers, Roronoa Zoro, Monkey D. Luffy, Nami ### Summary Page 15: Boodle finishes adjusting his armor with a "CLICK CLICK" and asks, "DID THEY GO TO THE HARBOR!?". A villager confirms, "YES...!! THEY RAN OFF IN THE DIRECTION OF THE HARBOR...!!". Suddenly, Boodle takes off running with a "DADA!!" sound effect. The villagers call out in surprise, "AAH! CHIEF!!". In the middle panel, Boodle sprints furiously down the street with a rapid "DADADADA" running sound, his spear clanking against the ground with a "SFX: CLANK". He shouts, "DAMMIT!!! COMING INTO MY VILLAGE AND MESSING AROUND AND THEN LEAVING WITHOUT MY PERMISSION...!! THE NUMBER OF THINGS I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU ARE PILED LIKE A MOUNTAIN!!!". The bottom panel shows the small boat with a pirate Jolly Roger sail catching the wind with a "BASA! BASA!" sound effect as it leaves the harbor. A voice from the boat calls out, "OKAY, LET'S GO!". Page 16: The page opens with a view of two small boats sailing away from the town. One boat has a striped sail, while the other flies a black sail with Buggy's jolly roger. A voice points out, "HEY, THAT FLAG HAS BUGGY'S MARK ON IT". Another voice replies, "IT WAS THOSE PIRATES' BOAT SO OF COURSE IT DOES. I'LL ERASE IT LATER". In the next panel, Zoro is seen from behind, looking back at the town from one of the boats. He smirks and says, "FUH!". From the town, a voice yells, "I STILL HAVE TONS TO SAY TO YOU...!!". In the middle panel, Luffy stands at the back of his boat, looking toward the pier. On the pier, Boodle stands with his arms wide, yelling, "STOP RIGHT THERE YOU MORONS!!!". Luffy calls back, "MISTER CHIEF!". The bottom row of panels shows the characters' reactions. On the right, a close-up of Boodle shows him panting heavily with a "PANT PANT" sound. He says, "I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY FOR ME TO DIE AT THAT TIME...!! IN MY DESPAIR, I CONSIDERED DEATH TO BE NOTHING...!!". The next three panels show close-ups of Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, all looking back silently toward the town. Page 17: The page features a large, dramatic top panel showing a close-up of Boodle. He is crying loudly, tears streaming down his face as he shouts with his mouth wide open, "I'M SORRY!! I OWE YOU!!!". In the middle panel, the scene shifts back to the boat. Luffy bursts into a huge, happy smile. Behind him, Zoro relaxes against the side of the boat, smiling, and Nami stands nearby, also smiling warmly. In the bottom left panel, Boodle is shown in profile, looking down with tears still in his eyes. He says softly, "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE...!!". The bottom right panel shows a wide view of the two boats sailing further away from the pier where Boodle stands. A voice from the boat, likely Luffy, calls out to him, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!! JUST LIVE HAPPY LIVES!!".
