## One Piece Chapter 12, pages 5-7: DOG - Chapter: 12 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Monkey D. Luffy, Chouchou, Nami ### Summary Page 5: A small white dog sits quietly on the wooden porch of a nearby building, right next to where Zoro lies face-down. A soft "PO-ON" sound effect accompanies its appearance. From inside the cage, Luffy notices it and says, "HUH!!" He looks at the dog, asking, "WHAT'S WITH YOU, DOG?" The dog simply stares back in silence. Luffy continues, "DOG? HEY, A DOG!" Zoro manages to sit up, looking back over his shoulder at the animal. He dismissively says, "WHO CARES..." Luffy asks, "IS IT REAL? IT'S NOT MOVING..." Zoro, sweating and holding his wounded side, replies, "IT'S HIS BUSINESS IF HE MOVES OR NOT. OUR BUSINESS IS TO GET YOU OUT OF THERE." Luffy reaches his arm through the cage bars and pokes the dog right between the eyes with a "DOINK". The dog gets a surprised exclamation mark above its head as Luffy says, "MAYBE IT'S DEAD." In a flash, the dog lunges and bites down hard on Luffy's face with a loud "CHOMP!!". Luffy recoils, yelling "YOW!!" in pain. Page 6: Luffy struggles wildly inside the cage, trying to pull the dog off his face. The dog growls fiercely ("GRRR ARR") and keeps biting ("CHOMP"), causing the cage to rattle loudly ("KLANG KLANG"). Luffy yells, "DUMB DOG! LEMME GO, LEMME GO!!" Zoro, sitting nearby, yells angrily at Luffy, "LUFFY, STOP PLAYING AROUND!" The exertion causes blood to spurt from Zoro's wound with a "PLIRT". Overcome by his injury, Zoro collapses face-down again with a "FLUMP...!!", groaning, "LOST... TOO MUCH BLOOD!" Luffy falls backward onto the floor of the cage with a "FWOP...!", shouting "DUMB DOG!" while the dog now sits calmly outside the cage, staring silently. Nami suddenly appears, looking down at the two of them with an exasperated expression. A large "SIGH" sound effect frames her as she says, "LOOK AT YOU TWO. NOT TO CRITICIZE, BUT......IS THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET REALLY THE BEST HIDING PLACE YOU COULD COME UP WITH?" Page 7: Luffy looks up from inside the cage and cheerfully announces, "HEY! IT'S OUR NAVIGATOR!" Zoro, still lying on the ground, lifts his head to snap, "I NEVER AGREED TO THAT!" Nami looks down at them and says, "I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME..." Luffy asks, "THANK US?" Nami tosses a small key onto the ground in front of the cage. It lands with a "TINK" near the dog. Luffy's face lights up with a huge grin as he yells, "THE KEY!!! YOU STOLE THE KEY TO THE CAGE!" Nami looks slightly annoyed, puffing a small breath, and replies, "HMPH. YEAH, SURE... I GOT THE STUPID KEY, BUT I LEFT THE MAP AND ALL THE TREASURE." Luffy grips the bars of his cage, laughing joyfully, "THIS IS GREAT! I THOUGHT I'D NEVER GET OUT OF HERE!" Zoro sits up, smiling confidently despite his injuries, and says, "THEN THE RESCUE... WAS A SUCCESS... AFTER ALL!"
