## One Piece Chapter 72, pages 15-17: TO EACH HIS OWN POSITION - Chapter: 72 - Pages: 15-17 - Characters: Usopp, Fishmen, Nojiko, Villagers, Arlong ### Summary Page 15: Usopp stands proudly on the roof of a nearby building, his slingshot drawn back and ready. He strikes a heroic pose and announces, "I AM THE BRAVE AND HEROIC WARRIOR OF THE SEAS! CAPTAIN USOPP!" The fishmen look confused. "....HUH? USOPP...?" "NEVER HEARD OF 'IM..." Usopp continues his bluff, shouting, "FEARED BY THE ENTIRE WORLD AS THE MAN FROM HELL, THEY CALL ME 'USOPP THE WICKED DEVIL KING!' I HAVE 8000 SUBORDINATES AT MY COMMAND! FLEE AT ONCE AND I SHALL CONSIDER FORGIVING YOU!" Down below, Nojiko recognizes him, saying, "IT'S HIM...!" The other villagers wonder, "WHO IS THAT...!?" Page 16: One of the fishmen points at Usopp and tells Arlong, "ARLONG, IT'S HIM! HE'S THAT GUY I TOLD YOU ABOUT EARLIER WHO ESCAPED FROM ME!" Arlong, recovering from the attack with smoke still rising from his face, cracks his knuckles. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE GOT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS... JUST TRY ME! I'LL CRUSH EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF 'EM!" Usopp's confident facade crumbles, and he panics, "AGHHH! HE'S NOT SCARED AT ALL AND MY GUNPOWDER STAR DIDN'T WORK AT ALL!" Arlong glares up at him, furious. "EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE JUST A PUNY HUMAN...! LOWLY HUMAN SCUM! YOU DARE ATTACK ME!?" Page 17: With incredible strength, Arlong smashes the base of the building Usopp is standing on. The entire structure begins to collapse, and Usopp screams in terror, "AGHHHHHHH!" The other fishmen panic, trying to stop their captain. "A-ARLONG, WAIT! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DESTROY ANOTHER VILLAGE, ARE YOU!? HUMAN VILLAGES ARE EASY TO CRUSH BUT OUR GOAL'S TO RULE OVER THEM! IF WE TURN THIS TOWN INTO ANOTHER GOSA VILLAGE, THEN OUR TRIBUTE FUNDS WILL DECREASE AGAIN!" Arlong answers coldly, "IF OUR FUNDS DECREASE, THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS CONQUER ANOTHER VILLAGE!"
