## One Piece Chapter 12, pages 15-18: DOG - Chapter: 12 - Pages: 15-18 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Mohji, Richie, Chouchou, Nami, Boodle ### Summary Page 15: A massive lion named Richie steps into the street with a booming "DA-DOOM!!" sound effect, letting out a fierce "GRRRARR...!!" growl. Sitting cross-legged on top of the giant lion's head is a man wearing a furry, bear-eared outfit. He looks down at the scene and says, "WELL, WHAT HAVE WE HERE...?" He introduces himself: "I'M MOHJI, BUGGY'S FIRST MATE. THEY CALL ME THE LION TAMER!" Luffy looks up at them from inside his cage, while Chouchou sits calmly on the ground nearby, staring up at the enormous beast. A close-up of Mohji shows him smiling maliciously as he taunts Luffy, "HA HA HA... LOOKS LIKE YOUR FRIENDS ABANDONED YOU. AND AFTER ALL THAT EFFORT TO GET YOU THIS FAR..." Page 16: Mohji sits atop his giant lion, Richie, who scratches at the ground with a "KRSS KRSS" sound and growls "GRRRR...". Mohji looks down at Luffy in the cage and says, "CAPTAIN BUGGY IS PRETTY WORKED UP... YOU GUYS STIRRED UP A REAL HORNETS' NEST." From inside the cage, Luffy looks at Mohji with a confused expression and asks, "HEY, WHAT'S WITH THE WEIRD COSTUME?" A massive "WHAT!!?" bubble erupts from off-panel. In a close-up, Mohji yells furiously, "COSTUME!? THIS IS MY HAIR!!!" The next panel shows the back of Mohji's head, highlighting the bear-ear shapes of his hair, as he shouts, "SHUT UP!" Luffy calmly replies, "THAT JUST MAKES IT WEIRDER." Mohji glares menacingly, his face shadowed, and warns, "MAYBE YOU THINK YOU'RE SAFE IN THAT CAGE... IF SO, THEN YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHO I AM..." Page 17: Nami hides behind a nearby building corner, trembling ("TREMBLE TREMBLE") and sweating as she watches the scene. She thinks, "IS LUFFY PROVOKING THAT GUY? IS THAT BOY ADDLE-BRAINED?" From behind, Mohji is seen sitting on Richie, facing Luffy's cage down the street. Chouchou the dog sits quietly in the background. Mohji boasts, "THERE'S NOT AN ANIMAL ALIVE THAT I CAN'T CONTROL. I CAN EVEN CONTROL THAT MUTT." The next panel shows Mohji attempting to handle Chouchou, but the small dog fiercely bites his hand with a "CHOMP!" and a "SHAKE!", causing Mohji to scream "YEOW!!". Back on his lion, Mohji looks irritated and says, "YOU'RE JUST A NOBODY THIEF..." while Luffy laughs from his cage, "HA HA! DOG GOT YA!" Mohji's eyes narrow in a close-up as Richie growls "GRRRR...!!". Mohji demands, "YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME. NOW TELL ME WHERE RORONOA ZOLO IS." Luffy, looking determined and serious, bluntly replies, "NO!" Page 18: Mohji grins sadistically and commands, "THEN DIE! GET HIM, RICHIE!" With a massive "GRROOWR!!" and a deafening "KRAK", the giant lion Richie slams his huge paw down onto the iron cage, crushing it completely. The impact is accompanied by a loud "CHONK" sound. Nami watches in horror, her eyes wide and sweating, as she screams, "THE CAGE!" Boodle, the mayor, is equally shocked, his glasses askew as he yells, "THAT BOY'S A GONER!" However, in the next panel, Luffy is sent flying through the air away from the shattered cage, completely unharmed. He throws his arms up joyfully and cheers, "HOORAY! I'M FREE!" Richie's paw swipes through the air with a "WOOSH", and a small box with "!?" indicates surprise at Luffy's survival and reaction.
