## One Piece Chapter 177, pages 18-21: 30 Million vs. 81 Million - Chapter: 177 - Pages: 18-21 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Crocodile ### Summary Page 18: To Luffy's shock, his punch goes right through Crocodile's head, which instantly turns into sand upon impact. "WHOA!" Luffy exclaims in surprise. Crocodile immediately retaliates by swinging his large golden hook. "SWIPE!" Luffy barely manages to dodge the deadly hook, grunting, "NGH!" Luffy pulls his stretched arm back, preparing for another strike. "GOMU GOMU-" Crocodile watches him, completely unbothered by the assault. "Hmm..." Page 19: Luffy attacks again, this time with a powerful downward kick. "STAMP!" His foot goes straight through Crocodile's sandy torso, causing no damage. Crocodile's body dissolves entirely into sand and flows past Luffy, reforming behind him. Luffy looks around, confused by the movement. "!!" Crocodile solidifies and grabs Luffy's arm tightly with his free hand. "UGH!" Luffy struggles against the strong grip. "NGH!" Page 20: Crocodile speaks calmly while holding Luffy's arm, "Let me tell you just one thing, Straw-Hat Luffy... No matter how much you struggle, you won't-" Luffy interrupts him by unleashing a furious barrage of rapid-fire punches. "GOMU GOMU GATLING!" The countless punches tear through Crocodile's body, but they only hit sand, scattering it in all directions. Page 21: Crocodile's upper body is completely scattered into sand by the Gatling attack, but his voice still echoes from the swirling dust. "Listen up, Straw-Hat Luffy...! No matter how long you keep up with these annoying attacks like an insignificant mosquito, you'll never-" Luffy, frustrated by the lack of effect, yells, "DAMN HIM AND HIS SAND...! BAZOOKA!" He stretches both arms far back, preparing for a massive, two-handed strike.
