## One Piece Chapter 252, pages 3-5: JUNCTION - Chapter: 252 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Usopp, Sanji, Luffy, Wyper, Kamakiri, Braham, Genbo ### Summary Page 3: On the Crow boat sailing along the Milky Road, Usopp looks panicked and asks, "Is it 'String'!? 'Iron'!? 'Swamp'!!? What...? One trial is enough, damn it!!". Sanji, smoking a cigarette, warns him, "There will be more priests. Be careful!! It's the place for our next trial". Luffy, looking ahead with his hand over his eyes, asks, "Where are we now?". The boat approaches a large, flat plain covered in clouds. Luffy observes the landscape and says, "It's just an average looking plain." Usopp points frantically towards the plain and yells, "It's not 'average'!! Look carefully!! Those are human skulls on those poles!". The scene reveals numerous poles sticking out of the ground, each topped with a human skull. Luffy looks closer and casually says, "Oh? Ah! They are!". Page 4: Usopp screams in absolute terror, "IT APPEARED~~~~~~!!!", his eyes popping out of his head. A skull on one of the poles is shattered by a sudden impact. A voice yells out, "KA TSA!!". Luffy looks up in surprise, "Eh!!? Something is coming!!". Several Shandia warriors, including Wyper with his bazooka, Kamakiri, Braham, and Genbo, descend rapidly from the sky towards the Crow boat. They are armed with various weapons and look highly aggressive as they swoop down on the unsuspecting crew. Page 5: Luffy looks determined as the Shandia warriors fly past the boat. Wyper, smoking a cigarette, glares down at them menacingly. Luffy stretches his arm far back, preparing an attack, and yells, "GOMU GOMU...!!". The warriors maneuver swiftly in the air, one of them yelling "TSA GIH....". Wyper aims and fires his bazooka towards the boat. A massive explosion erupts in the clouds right next to the boat, sending shockwaves through the air. One of the warriors shouts, "BAA!!", while another yells, "THAT BASTARD!!".
