Luffy ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays "CHAPTER 145" and the title "'INHERITED WILL'". The illustration shows a lively scene at the "MIRROR BALL DANCE CONTEST". A large stage features a sign reading "Funky Style". Jango is on stage, striking a dance pose under a disco ball. Below the stage, a large crowd cheers enthusiastically. Among the crowd, several Marines are visible, enjoying the show and holding up signs, with one small note pointing out they are "Skipping Marine-duties". The caption at the bottom reads "JANGO'S DANCE PARADISE VOL. 15 'DAZZLINGLY DASHING DANCE-OFF'". Page 1: Hiriluk arrives at the Drum Castle, panting heavily and coughing. "PANT PANT... COUGH". He looks up in shock, muttering, "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS... WHAT...!?" From a high balcony on the castle, Wapol looks down and laughs mockingly, "MAHAHAHA! STILL CAN'T REALIZE IT!?" Hiriluk stands alone in the snow before the grand castle, surrounded by a large contingent of armed guards. He realizes the deception and shouts, "THIS IS A TRAP! THE MD-20 ARE PERFECTLY FINE AS YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF!" A massive "DOOON!!" sound effect emphasizes the dramatic reveal of the ambush. Page 2: Wapol continues to laugh from his vantage point, "HAHAHAHA. ALL YOU'VE COME HERE FOR IS TO MEET YOUR DEATH, DR. HILULUK!" Hiriluk looks up, questioning, "WHY DID YOU COME...!?" Dalton is shown nearby, his face tense and conflicted. Wapol angrily declares, "YOUR CRIMES ARE HEAVY FOR DEFYING MY ROYAL WILL FOR SO LONG! COMMENCE THE EXECUTION, GUARDS! TAKE AIM!" Despite the dire situation, Hiriluk simply smiles and says, "IS THAT SO... WHAT A DIMWIT! HEH..." The guards ready their rifles, aiming directly at him with a loud "GACHA!!" sound effect. Page 3: To everyone's surprise, Hiriluk sits down in the snow, dropping his medical bag. He looks incredibly relieved and says, "THANK GOD, NOBODY'S SICK..." Dalton stares at him in shock, "!!?" Hiriluk smiles broadly, tears welling in his eyes as he speaks to the bewildered guards and Dalton. "HERE I WAS, THINKING THAT THE COUNTRY WAS IN CRISIS... BUT IT WAS ALL JUST A LITTLE TRICK INSTEAD..." Page 4: Wapol is infuriated by Hiriluk's reaction. "AHAHA! IF THIS COUNTRY REALLY WERE IN CRISIS, A QUACK DOCTOR LIKE YOU WOULD BE THE LAST PERSON I'D WANT TO COME! IGNORE THIS QUACK'S WORTHLESS BLATHER AND SHOOT!" Hiriluk raises a hand calmly, commanding, "STOP." He pulls out a small glass bottle marked with a skull and crossbones. "YOU PEOPLE CAN'T POSSIBLY KILL ME." The guards are taken aback, muttering, "WHAT!?" Hiriluk looks forward with intense resolve and asks a profound question: "WHEN DO YOU THINK A PERSON DIES...?" Page 5: Chopper is shown running frantically through the snowy forest, panting heavily. "DOC-TOOO-OOR!" "PANT PANT". Meanwhile, Hiriluk continues his speech to the guards. "WHEN HIS HEART IS PIERCED BY A BULLET? NO..." Chopper continues his desperate sprint towards the castle. Hiriluk goes on, "WHEN HE DRINKS SOUP, MADE FROM A POISONOUS MUSHROOM...? NO!" Chopper is seen running up the snowy path leading to the Drum Castle, determined to reach his mentor. Page 6: Chopper continues his urgent run. Hiriluk, still sitting peacefully in the snow, delivers the climax of his speech: "A MAN DIES, WHEN HE IS FORGOTTEN...!" He holds up the small glass bottle containing the explosive liquid. "EVEN IF I'M GONE, MY DREAM WILL COME TRUE. THE SICK HEARTS OF THIS COUNTRY'S CITIZENS TOO WILL BE SAVED...!" Dalton listens, his eyes widening in profound shock and realization. "!!!" Page 7: Tears stream down Dalton's face as he listens. Hiriluk notices and smiles gently, "WHY THE TEARS, DALTON? AS LONG AS THERE ARE THOSE TO INHERIT THE WILL... CAN THE SAME BE SAID FOR THE COUNTRY AS WELL...?" Wapol, oblivious to the emotional weight of the moment, laughs cruelly. "EH EH... BAHAHAHA! THE HECK ARE YOU CRYING FOR, DALTON!? A MONSTER SHALL SOON COME HERE." Hiriluk holds up a small cup filled with the liquid from his bottle. "HE IS MY SON, SO DON'T LAY A HAND UPON HIM. DON'T WORRY, CHOPPER. I WON'T DIE FROM YOUR MUSHROOM..." Page 8: Hiriluk throws his arms wide open, a massive, joyful smile on his face as he shouts to the heavens, "WHAT A SPECTACULAR LIFE IT'S BEEN! TRULY!" He swiftly drinks the liquid from the cup. "GULP". Wapol watches, confused and suspicious. "JUST WHAT IS HE PLANNING...?" Elsewhere, Kureha is shown taking a swig from a bottle, softly saying, "FAREWELL, QUACK DOCTOR!" As Hiriluk sits before the castle, he thinks his final words: "THANK YOU, CHOPPER." Page 9: A massive explosion erupts exactly where Hiriluk was sitting. A huge plume of smoke and debris blasts into the sky with a deafening "BOOOM". The sheer force of the shockwave blows the surrounding guards off their feet, sending them flying backward through the snow as they...
