Luffy, Koby, Alvida, Alvida Pirates ### Summary Page 15: Alvida and her pirate crew surround Luffy and Koby in the woods. Alvida points her mace at Luffy, "IS THAT THE BOUNTY HUNTER YOU HIRED? WELL, HE CERTAINLY ISN'T RORONOA ZOLO..." She then turns her attention to Koby, "SO I'LL GIVE YOU ONE CHANCE TO REPENT... WHO IS THE FAIREST THROUGHOUT ALL THE SEAS?" Luffy looks confused, "ZOLO?" He then points directly at Alvida and asks loudly, "HEY, WHO'S THAT TOUGH-LOOKING OLD BIDDY?" The entire pirate crew recoils in absolute shock, their jaws dropping as they scream "BWAAA". Koby is paralyzed with fear, stammering, "HEH HEH HEH... LADY ALVIDA, YOU--" The pirates panic, yelling at Luffy, "HOW DARE..." "NO WAY!" "LUFFY!! TAKE IT BACK!!" One pirate tries to salvage the situation, "THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE SEAS, LADY ALVIDA IS..." Page 16: Koby, mustering all his courage, screams at the top of his lungs, "...THE UGLIEST OLD HAG OF ALL!!!" Luffy bursts into uncontrollable laughter, "HAHAHAHAHA!" Alvida's face contorts in pure, unadulterated rage. "YOU LITTLE--!!!" Koby stands his ground, tears streaming down his face, "I SAID IT AND I WON'T TAKE IT BACK! NO MORE CRINGING FOR ME!! FROM NOW ON, I'LL FIGHT FOR MY DREAMS!!" Luffy smiles proudly, "I'M GONNA BE THE KING OF THE PIRATES... AND IF I DIE TRYING... THEN AT LEAST I TRIED!" Koby repeats to himself, "LADY ALVIDA IS... LADY ALVIDA IS..." Page 17: Enraged, Alvida swings her massive iron mace down with a powerful "WHAM!". "YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO DIE!!" she roars. Koby screams, "L-LUFFY...!!" while Luffy smiles and says, "GOOD FOR YOU, KOBY!!" The spiked mace comes down on Luffy, but he remains standing beneath his straw hat. Alvida sneers, "IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME..." However, Luffy simply smiles and says, "THAT DIDN'T HURT!" Alvida and her crew stare in absolute disbelief, their eyes bulging. "IMPOSSIBLE! NO ONE SURVIVES THE IRON MACE!!" Luffy smirks and explains, "'CAUSE I'M MADE OF RUBBER!"
