## One Piece Chapter 144, pages 10-11: SNOW STORY - Chapter: 144 - Pages: 10-11 - Characters: Kureha, unidentified townspeople, Hiriluk, unidentified guards ### Summary Page 10: A wide shot shows the snowy landscape with the Drum Castle towering on the mountain peaks in the distance. The voices of the desperate townspeople fill the air: "PLEASE! MY CHILD HAS A HIGH FEVER!" "MINE FELL OFF A CLIFF! HE NEEDS URGENT TREATMENT!" "THE MD-20 WERE SCHEDULED TO COME TO MY HOUSE TODAY!" "I'VE WAITED OVER A WEEK FOR A DOCTOR!" "GIVE US MEDICINE!" "SEND OUT THE MD-20!" "DO THEY PLAN TO JUST ABANDON ALL THEIR PATIENTS!?" Back inside her treehouse, Kureha sits quietly, looking at the bag of dust Hiriluk left her. She thinks to herself, "AFTER ALL THAT TALK ABOUT SAVING THIS COUNTRY, YOU GIVE UP AND ASK ME INSTEAD...? ARE YOU SAYING YOU CAN'T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING, EVEN WITH THE TWO WEEKS YOU STILL HAVE LEFT...? THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU AT ALL..." Page 11: Kureha suddenly realizes something, her eyes widening behind her sunglasses. "-NOR ANY TIME LEFT...! DON'T TELL ME... THAT IDIOT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE THINKING OF...!" She recalls Hiriluk's earlier words: "DID YOU HEAR, KUREHA? THIS COUNTRY'S IN A REAL CRISIS RIGHT NOW." Realizing his plan, she jumps up, grabbing her coat. Meanwhile, Hiriluk is seen sprinting through the snow towards the town, carrying his medical bag with a skull and crossbones on it. Kureha shouts, "AS IF I'D LET YOU!" Hiriluk arrives in the town, causing a commotion. The guards spot him and yell, "IT'S DR. HILULUK! ARREST HIM!" "MOVE IT, YOU LOT!" "DR. HILULUK!?" Hiriluk pulls out two lit bombs, holding them up threateningly. The guards panic, "HE'S CARRYING BOMBS! RUN FOR IT!"
