## One Piece Chapter 138: Mountaintop - Chapter: 138 - Pages: 0-17 - Characters: Jango, Wapol, Robson, Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Chess, Kuromarimo, Lapins ### Summary Page 0: The title page features a large chapter heading: "CHAPTER 138 'MOUNTAINTOP'". Below it is an illustration of Jango seen from behind. He is wearing his signature wide-brimmed hat and a dark coat with a striped shirt underneath. He is holding up his heart-shaped glasses with one hand, adjusting them. A caption at the bottom reads: "JANGO'S DANCE PARADISE VOL. 10 'IN NEED OF A DISGUISE -5 SECONDS BEFORE JANGO REVEALS HIS BARE FACE-'". Page 1: Wapol, a large man with a metallic jaw wearing a thick fur coat, is furious. He yells, "HOW DARE YOU COMMIT NUMEROUS DESPICABLE GRIEVANCES AGAINST MY REGAL SELF!" He is riding a large, fluffy, hippo-like creature named Robson through the snowy landscape. Wapol commands, "HALT RIGHT THERE!" Luffy, carrying Nami and Sanji on his back, stops and glares back. Wapol laughs mockingly, "MAHAHAHA! WHAT'RE YOU, DUMB AS A HIPPO? AS IF I'D MOVE JUST BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME SO!" Luffy simply replies, "MOVE IT!" Wapol notices Luffy's burden and remarks, "HMM, IT SEEMS THE TWO YOU'RE CARRYING ARE ON THE VERGE OF DEATH!" Wapol then turns to his subordinate, Chess, and says, "CHESS, I'VE JUST GOT A GOOD IDEA FOR ANOTHER LAW. WRITE IT DOWN FOR ME." Chess, holding a notepad, replies, "YES, YOUR MAJESTY." Wapol dictates, "'IGNORING THE KING IS A CAPITAL OFFENSE.'" Luffy, still carrying his friends, looks intensely angry and shouts, "HALT!" as he stands his ground in the snow. Page 2: Wapol, his metallic jaw wide open, shouts a brutal command to his men: "SO START BY KILLING THOSE TWO INJURED MAGGOTS WHO'RE IGNORING ME THE MOST RIGHT NOW!" His subordinates immediately spring into action. Chess, a tall man with a bow, draws back an arrow, while Kuromarimo, a man with large afro hair, prepares to throw projectiles. They shout, "AT ONCE!" Luffy, carrying Nami and Sanji on his back, looks back in shock, exclaiming, "WHAT!?" Kuromarimo hurls a spiked, black afro-ball towards them, yelling, "TAKE THIS! SURPRISE MARIMO!" The spiked ball flies through the air with a "SSHING!" sound. Luffy quickly dodges out of the way, leaping through the snow to avoid the attack, yelling, "WHOA!" as the spiked ball narrowly misses them. Page 3: Sanji, barely conscious on Luffy's back, warns him through gritted teeth, "THE IMPACT OF EVERY BLOW YOU DELIVER OR RECEIVE, WILL BE TRANSFERRED OVER TO NAMI AS WELL!" Luffy, realizing he can't fight back without hurting Nami, looks frustrated and angry. "WHY YOU...!" he growls. Making a split-second decision, Luffy turns and sprints away through the thick snow, panting heavily, "HUFF HUFF!" He yells back at his attackers, "JUST DON'T FOLLOW ME RIGHT NOW!" Wapol, furious that his prey is escaping, screams, "DAMN IT! I SWEAR I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS!" Chess, aiming his bow, fires a volley of arrows after the fleeing pirate, declaring confidently, "HMPH! ESCAPE IS FUTILE, COWARD!" The arrows streak through the air towards Luffy. Page 4: Luffy desperately dodges the incoming arrows, leaping and twisting through the air while keeping a tight grip on Nami and Sanji. "WHOA!" he yells as an arrow narrowly misses him. He lands awkwardly in the snow with an "...UGH!" Chess and Kuromarimo pursue him relentlessly. Kuromarimo announces a special technique: "SNOW KINGDOM SPECIALTY, 'SNOW CLOAK'". Suddenly, the two men vanish into the swirling snow, blending in perfectly with their white cloaks. Luffy lands on his feet, panting heavily, "HUFF HUFF". He looks around in confusion, the snowy landscape seemingly empty. "HUH? WHERE'D THEY GO?" he wonders, completely losing sight of his attackers in the whiteout conditions. Page 5: Luffy stands in the snow, looking around cautiously. "DID THEY GIVE UP ALREADY OR SOMETHING?" he wonders aloud. Suddenly, the snow beneath him erupts. Wapol bursts out from under the snow, his massive metallic jaw opened impossibly wide, ready to swallow Luffy whole. "CHOMP!" Wapol's jaws snap shut just behind Luffy as he leaps away in terror. Luffy screams, "AGHHH!" as he narrowly avoids being eaten, scrambling away from the surprise attack from below. Page 6: Chess and Kuromarimo suddenly materialize from the snow right next to Luffy. "BEHOLD OUR BATTLE CAMOUFLAGE, THE SNOW CLOAK!" they declare. Chess aims his bow at point-blank range, and Kuromarimo prepares to strike with his spiked afro-balls. Wapol, standing nearby, gloats, "SEEING AS HOW YOU'VE ALREADY SUSTAINED GRAVE INJURIES, THIS SHOULD BE AN INSTANT KILL!" Luffy, caught off guard and unable to fight back without hurting Nami, yells in panic, "AHH-". Chess confidently says, "CHECKMATE!" as they prepare to deliver the final blow. Luffy screams, "STAA-AAAP!" bracing for the impact. Page 7: Just as Wapol's men are about to strike, massive shadows fall over them. Several giant, ferocious white rabbits—Lapins—plummet from the sky, landing directl...
