## One Piece Chapter 65, pages 3-5: PREPAREDNESS - Chapter: 65 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Zeff, Sanji, Monkey D. Luffy, Don Krieg ### Summary Page 3: Zeff speaks up, his expression serious. "THEY'RE NO MATCH FOR THAT 'ONE SPECIAL SPEAR' THAT COMES FROM YOUR GUTS..." Sanji looks back at him, frustrated. "WITH ALL THOSE WEAPONS AND ARMOUR, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT HIM! DAMN IT..." Zeff continues his thought, "BUT YOU KNOW, SANJI... NO MATTER HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF WEAPONS OR ARMOUR ONE IS EQUIPPED WITH, THE ONE WHO FEARS DEATH AND HESITATES FOR EVEN AN INSTANT SHALL FALL TO THEIR DOOM." Sanji looks confused, a question mark appearing near his head. Zeff elaborates, "ON THE PIRATES' BATTLEFIELD WHERE LIFE AND DEATH ARE DECIDED," prompting Sanji to sit down on the deck and ask, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?" Zeff looks toward the fight and says, "WITHIN THAT BOY, IF NOTHING ELSE," Page 4: Luffy's face is shown up close, a wide, fearless grin on his face. Zeff's narration continues, "LIES NO HESITATION." Luffy chuckles, "HEE HEE." Sanji looks on, his eyes wide with realization and shock. Zeff explains further, "PERHAPS IT STEMS FROM HIS COMPLETE PREPAREDNESS TO SURVIVE NO MATTER WHAT," Sanji mutters, "CONVICTION...!?" Zeff finishes, "OR HIS CONVICTION THAT FEARS NO DEATH..." Meanwhile, Krieg swings his broken spear with a fierce "ZCHAA!!" sound effect, preparing to strike Luffy again. Page 5: Krieg brings his broken spear crashing down toward Luffy with immense force. He shouts, "SAY YOUR PRAYERS! FROM THE MOMENT YOU WENT AGAINST ME, YOUR DEATH WAS SET IN STONE!" Luffy, completely unfazed, looks up at the incoming attack and sticks his tongue out playfully. "AS IF!" he retorts. With a powerful "BO!!" and "O!!" sound effect, Luffy leaps high into the air, dodging the strike entirely. A small text bubble near his feet says "JUMP!" as he propels himself upward.
