## One Piece Chapter 205, pages 3-4: Sand Sand Gang's Secret Base - Chapter: 205 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Vivi, Usopp, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Koza, Pell ### Summary Page 3: In the top left panel, Vivi looks urgent and explains, "No, but I'm sure I know where it is! Considering this planned-dust storm,". In the adjacent panels, Usopp asks, "Is the cannon here!?" while Nami and Chopper run, with voices calling out, "What's going on!? The marines helped us get here!" and "Nami! Tony!". In the middle row, Vivi continues her realization, her face tense: "It's been staring me in the face all along but it took me forever to realize it! It was in our blind spot! There's no other place it could be at!" A flashback panel shows a group of children, the Sand Sand Gang, standing in front of a large building. A young voice excitedly declares, "CHECK IT OUT! THIS PLACE IS PRETTY BIG, RIGHT!? HOW ABOUT WE MAKE THIS OUR SECRET BASE FROM NOW!?" Back in the present, Chopper and Nami listen intently as the deduction continues: "It also has to be big enough to house the cannon but not be visible from the sky!" and "The place has to be close enough where it's impossible to miss...!" The bottom panel reveals a massive, imposing clock tower looming over the city square. A large speech bubble dramatically announces, "IT'S INSIDE THE CLOCK TOWER!" accompanied by a shocked "WHA?" and a booming "DON" sound effect, while the background noise of the battle "WAAAAAA" continues. Page 4: In the top panels, Chopper and Nami react to the revelation. Chopper, looking up in realization, says, "You'd have a clear shot at the palace square from up there!" Nami, sweating and wide-eyed, agrees, "You're right! The clock tower!?" The middle panel focuses tightly on the face of the massive clock, its hands ticking ominously close to the deadline. Sound effects "GOOOO", "tic", "toc", "tic..." emphasize the passing seconds. In the bottom panels, a voice notes the urgency: "There's no more time!" while another voice, struggling against the conditions, says, "I know the smoke signal was somewhere around here, But I can hardly see 'cause of this dust storm..." A large bird, Pell in his falcon form, is seen diving through the thick, swirling dust, accompanied by a loud "BA-BUN!!" sound effect as he searches for the signal.
