## One Piece Chapter 204, pages 13-15: RED - Chapter: 204 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Crocodile ### Summary Page 13: The force of Luffy's punches sends Crocodile flying backward, crashing violently into a large stone pillar. The impact shatters the stone, creating a massive cloud of dust. Crocodile slumps to the ground, coughing and gasping for air, "KU... HA...!" As he looks up, he notices blood dripping from Luffy's clenched fist onto the floor. Crocodile's eyes widen in realization as he stammers, "IT CAN'T BE... IT... YOU USED YOUR BLOOD!?" Page 14: Luffy holds up his blood-soaked fist, glaring at Crocodile. "BLOOD WORKS JUST AS WELL IN CLUMPING UP YOUR SAND, RIGHT!?" Crocodile stares at him for a moment before breaking into a low, menacing laugh, "KU... HAHAHA! HA... HAHA..." He slowly stands back up, his expression turning deadly serious. "LET ME REWARD YOUR PERSISTENCE IN CHALLENGING ME A THIRD TIME EVEN AFTER TWICE TASTING HELL...! RAINBASE... THE PALACE... AND NOW THIS UNDERGROUND CRYPT... SO BE IT..." Page 15: Crocodile lunges forward, swinging his massive golden hook at Luffy. Luffy barely manages to dodge the attack, grunting "NGHH-" as the hook smashes into the ground. With a loud "CLINK!", Crocodile removes the golden casing from his hook, revealing a sinister, multi-pronged weapon underneath. "I WILL TREAT YOU AS A REAL PIRATE..." he declares. Luffy looks at the new weapon, confused. "He took it off... But what is it?" Crocodile explains, "It seems you're set on beating me no matter what. So I shall acknowledge you as a troublesome enemy. A POISON-HOOK."
