## One Piece Chapter 1.2, pages 27-30: Romance Dawn - Chapter: 1.2 - Pages: 27-30 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Anne, Six-Sided Spiel, unidentified pirates ### Summary Page 27: In the top panel, the bullets snap back out of Luffy's rubber body, ricocheting towards the pirates. Luffy stands casually, catching his straw hat, and says, "AAAH, THAT SCARED ME." The pirates in the background are hit or scramble to dodge the returning fire. In the middle panel, a close-up shows Anne looking completely bewildered, thinking, "WHAT JUST HAPPENED...?". Next to her, a large "?" bubble appears beside a shocked pirate's face. In the bottom panel, Spiel is furious, wielding his staff and yelling, "!!!! COME OUT HAMMER-!!!". The pirate crew is in a full panic, screaming, "H-HE BOUNCED BACK THE BULLETS-!!!" and "IS IT BLACK MAGIC!? IS HE A BLACK MAGIC USER LIKE THE CAPTAIN~~~!!?". Page 28: In the top panel, Spiel swings his large wooden staff down with immense force, smashing the deck where Luffy was standing. A large "!!!" bubble accompanies the destructive impact. In the middle panel, Luffy is now standing completely unharmed behind Spiel, adjusting his straw hat. He says calmly, "I'M GONNA GET MAD." Spiel turns his head, sweating profusely in shock. A pirate in the background yells, "NO WAAAY!!!!". In the bottom right panel, Spiel frantically scrambles up the ship's mast in terror, yelling, "GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU MONSTER!!!" and "YOU STARTED IT." Luffy looks up at him and replies, "WHAT!!?". In the bottom left panel, Luffy crouches low to the deck, preparing to launch an attack, and says, "CLIMBING UP THERE IS USELESS." Page 29: The top panel features a close-up of Luffy's face, looking fierce and determined. His arm is shown stretching and twisting backward, building up tension with motion lines indicating the wind-up of his attack. The bottom panel is a massive, dynamic shot showing Luffy's stretched fist slamming directly into Spiel's face with incredible force. Spiel's face is comically caved in and distorted by the impact, and he lets out a choked "BUH!!!?". Luffy is seen in the background, his arm extended all the way across the panel to deliver the devastating punch. Page 30: A large, dynamic splash page shows the immediate aftermath of Luffy's punch. Luffy stands on the deck of the ship, leaning forward and holding his straw hat onto his head with his left hand. His right arm is stretched out to an impossible length, looping high into the air in a massive arc. At the very end of his stretched fist, the pirate captain Spiel is sent flying far off into the distance from the impact of the blow. There is no dialogue on this page, only the visual spectacle of Luffy's elongated rubber arm and the defeated captain soaring through the sky.
