Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Kuro, Merry, Jango, Black Cat Pirates, Tamanegi ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays "CHAPTER 30" and the title "GREAT!!!". The illustration features the characters reimagined in a mechanical toy city scene. A giant robot version of Monkey D. Luffy stands in the center with a massive fist extended forward. To his left is a robotic Roronoa Zoro holding a sword, and to his right is a robotic Nami holding a staff. Usopp appears in the foreground as a smaller figure shouting upward, while other small townspeople and shop signs fill the street below. Small toy planes fly in the sky above them. Page 1: A large, grand mansion sits behind a closed wrought-iron gate. A heavy "DO--N!" sound effect hangs in the air. On the wide steps leading up to the mansion's entrance, a lone figure sits waiting. The man, Kuro, is dressed in a dark suit and glasses. He rests his chin on his hands, his fingers crossed, looking intensely annoyed. He mutters to himself, "WHY ARE THEY LATE..." as he adjusts his glasses with the palms of his hands, producing a "SRET SRET" sound. Page 2: A close-up focuses on Kuro's eye behind his glasses as he continues to seethe, saying, "AND STILL THEY DARE TO BE LATE..." The scene cuts to the interior of the mansion, where a man, Merry, lies face down on the floor in a pool of blood. Kuro's voice continues over the grim sight: "THOSE IDIOTS... SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO RUIN MY PLANS". Back outside, Kuro stands up from the steps with a "SUKU...!" sound, his expression darkening. He says, "IF THEY DARE FORGET ABOUT MY PLANS..." He begins walking purposefully toward the front gate, his footsteps making a "SUTA SUTA" sound, and declares, "I WILL KILL THEM ALL..." Page 3: The scene shifts to a view of the sky and treetops. Down on a rocky, uneven path, a wide shot reveals the aftermath of a battle. Jango stands in the foreground, facing away, surrounded by numerous defeated Black Cat Pirates scattered across the ground. Further down the path, Roronoa Zoro and Monkey D. Luffy stand victorious, while Usopp sits on the ground nearby. A heavy "DO--N!" sound effect emphasizes the scene, and Jango reacts with a silent ".........!!" bubble. Usopp, sitting on the ground and looking at Luffy and Zoro in awe, says, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE THIS STRONG..." The back of Luffy's straw hat is shown as he confidently replies, "OF COURSE!" Page 4: Nami looks annoyed and scolds someone off-panel, saying, "YOU'RE LATE... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?" Usopp, looking extremely pissed with a throbbing vein on his head, retorts, "IT WAS YOU WHO MADE ME FALL DOWN! AND NOW YOU'RE BLAMING ME?!" A wider shot shows Nami and Usopp arguing fiercely on the rocky path, while Luffy and Zoro stand calmly behind them. Nami yells, "I COULDN'T HELP IT! BETTER ONE PERSON FALL DOWN THAN BOTH OF US!" and adds, "THEN YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO FALL!" Usopp shouts back, "YOU BASTARD! YOU JUST SAID NORTH, YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHICH WAY NORTH IS!" He continues, "IT WAS YOUR FAULT FOR RUNNING SO FAST!" to which Nami replies, "I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU!" The scene shifts to Jango, who looks over his shoulder and calls out, "HEY! YOU IDIOTS!" He continues, "DON'T TELL ME YOU GUYS ARE FINISHED JUST FROM ONE BLOW FROM THOSE FOOLS?" On the ground, the defeated Black Cat Pirates begin to stir, groaning "OH... OOOH..." as they stagger to their feet. Page 5: Luffy looks surprised as he notices the stirring pirates, exclaiming, "AH! THEY'RE STILL ALIVE! THEY'RE PRETTY TOUGH!" Jango, looking serious, addresses his crew: "LISTEN! WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE HERE! SINCE THE OPPONENT IS STRONG, WE MUST BE STRONGER..." Jango then holds up his ringed pendulum by a string, instructing them, "COME! LOOK AT MY PENDULUM. AFTER I SAY '1, 2, JANGO' YOU GUYS WILL BECOME STRONGER!" The battered Black Cat Pirates stare blankly at the swinging pendulum as Jango continues his hypnotic suggestion: "YOUR WOUNDS WILL HEAL! AND YOU WILL BECOME MUCH STRONGER THAN BEFORE!!" Watching this bizarre display, Luffy asks, "WHAT'S THAT GUY DOING?" Usopp, standing next to him, replies, "I DUNNO..." Nami realizes what is happening and says, "IT MUST BE HYPNOTISM! HE'S TRYING TO MAKE THEM THINK THEY'RE STRONGER!" Usopp, sweating, adds, "THIS IS ABSURD!" Page 6: Jango begins his countdown while the battered Black Cat Pirates stare at the swinging pendulum. "ONE..." he says, as the pirates stagger weakly. "TWO..." he continues. Then, Jango suddenly pulls the brim of his hat down over his eyes with a "TAP" and shouts, "JANGO!!!" Nami, Usopp, Luffy, and Zoro watch in silence, with Nami uttering a confused "EHH..." Suddenly, the Black Cat Pirates erupt with explosive energy. They roar "UWOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!" at the top of their lungs. Their bodies bulge with newfound muscle, veins popping on their faces and arms as they brandish their swords, completely trans...
