## One Piece Chapter 388, pages 0-2: Gear Second - Chapter: 388 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Miss Goldenweek, Mr. 3, Monkey D. Luffy, Blueno ### Summary Page 0: The chapter opens with the cover-story title Chapter 388: "Gear Second." In Miss Goldenweek's strategy "Meet Baroque," Volume 22 is labeled "Mr. 3 Surrenders!?" The image is a bonus cover-story scene rather than the Enies Lobby battle itself, but it still belongs to the chapter package: Mr. 3 is shown in a tense surrender-themed situation connected to the Baroque Works side story. Page 1: On the courthouse roof, Blueno stares at Luffy's changed stance and repeats the word he has just heard: "Gear"? Then, trying to understand the threat in front of him, he asks, "Your technique will evolve?" Luffy answers with his body rather than with an explanation. He crouches low, one fist braced near the ground, and steam begins to pour off him with a soft "Shuuu..." The empty rooftop around them makes the moment feel still and dangerous. Blueno has faced Luffy as a rubber-bodied pirate, but now the air around Luffy is heating, his posture has tightened, and the fight is about to shift into something Blueno has not measured yet. Page 2: Blueno tries to dismiss what he is seeing. Steam rises from Luffy's body, and Blueno says, "Emitting steam from your body... are you trying to imitate a steam engine -- what're you trying to bluff?" Luffy does not argue. He simply says, "I... am glad I met you here." Then he begins the attack name: "Gomu Gomu"... Blueno assumes the distance still favors him and says, "Are you trying to snipe me...? You're just giving me a chance to escape." Luffy's expression sharpens into a grin. "Heh... try to aim your best and hit me...!!" Blueno accepts the challenge and vanishes with "Soru," expecting his Rokushiki speed to decide the exchange. The page holds the last instant before Luffy proves that the old speed gap has disappeared.
