A dramatic splash page shows a fierce duel between a black-haired swordsman wielding a massive curved blade and a muscular, shirtless fighter swinging a spiked mace. The swordsman’s weapon clashes against the mace as the larger man lunges forward. In the background, the Buggy Pirates cheer wildly from the stands. A small panel at the bottom reads “ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL.16 ‘FIGHTING TO DECIDE THE NEXT CAPTAIN’”.Dracule MihawkDon KriegBuggy PiratesPage 1A massive pirate ship with a duck-like figurehead and a chef’s hat flag sails through rough seas. “THAT SHIP IS… IT’S THE COOK PIRATES!” someone shouts. A close-up reveals the black flag bearing a skull with a chef’s hat and fork. “HE CAME BACK FROM GRAND LINE!I” another voice exclaims. “THAT’S RED-LEG ZEFF’S SHIP…!” Below, Red-Leg Zeff stands with a fierce glare, surrounded by his crew and onlookers reacting in shock as the ship approaches.Red-Leg ZeffBaratie cooksPage 2On the deck of a Marine vessel, Red-Leg Zeff faces a sweating Marine officer. The officer stammers, “Y-YOU MUST BE THE CAPTAIN OF THESE PIRATES, RED-LEG ZEFF.” Zeff replies coldly, “MONEY.” In a chaotic lower panel, pirates swarm the ship, one swinging a weapon while shouting “ALRIGHT! TAKE ALL THEIR VALUABLES, DOWN TO THE LAST PENNY!” Crew members scream “A G H H H H H!” as the raid begins.Red-Leg ZeffMarine officerPage 3Amid the storm-tossed deck, a young blond cook in a mask grips a railing and declares, “I’M NOT… JUST GOING TO SIT STILL AND BE KILLED BY THOSE PIRATES….” Nearby, a crewman yells, “CAP’N! IF WE DON’T LEAVE SOON, WE’LL GET CAUGHT UP IN THE STORM!” The captain answers, “I KNOW.” In the foreground, Zeff examines a small object and mutters, “UMM… WHAT’S THIS!I” while another voice calls, “WAIT JUST A SECOND!” Pirates clash with swords and guns as waves crash over the railing.SanjiRed-Leg ZeffPage 4Zeff looms with a furious expression as a customer with checkered pants cowers and pleads, "I WAS... JUST A LITTLE HUNGRY..." The man is sent flying by a massive impact, screaming "AGHHHH! F-FORGIVE ME, CAPT. ZEFF!" as the huge onomatopoeia "ドコォォン!!!" erupts across the deck. Below, the Baratie cooks react in shock with crashing sounds "ガラガラアァァァァァァ!" and "CRACK" as debris flies and one cook is knocked back. A woman covers her mouth in horror while another figure stares wide-eyed at the destruction.Zeffhungry customerPattyCarnePage 5Zeff grips the customer's head tightly, growling "ON OUR ENEMIES' FOOD...I DON'T I ALWAYS SAY NOT TO EVER LAY EVEN A FINGER," while the terrified man stammers "YES, SIR...!" Nearby, onlookers shout "AHHH! WHAT'S WITH THIS KID!" and "DAMN IDIOT!" as chaos erupts on deck. In the lower scene, Sanji stands ready with a knife facing Don Krieg's pirates, declaring "LOOK, I'M BLEEDING. I MIGHT BE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED." A pirate warns "HEY KID, YOU SHOULDN'T BE SWINGING AROUND THOSE THINGS. IT'S DANGEROUS," but Sanji snaps back "SHUT UP! LIKE I'M JUST GOING TO STAND STILL AND LET YOU KILL ME!"ZeffSanjiDon Krieghungry customerPage 6The Baratie cooks panic and yell "IF THE KID WANTS TO DIE SO BADLY, THEN KILL HIM ALREADY AND BE DONE WITH IT!" "SANJI! STOP!" "DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIM! HE'S ONE OF YOUR COOKS, ISN'T HE!I" and "STOP IT, KID! DON'T PROVOKE THEM ANY FURTHER! SANJI, NO! DON'T FIGHT BACK!" Sanji lunges forward with his knife, shouting "SO I'LL KILL YOU FIRST BEFORE YOU CAN KILL ME! IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT TO DIE! BUT YOU PIRATES ARE GONNA KILL US ALL ANYWAYS!" Zeff charges in with a powerful kick, the impact "ドォォン!!!" sending shockwaves through the air.SanjiZeffPattyCarneDon KriegPage 7Zeff's devastating kick sends Sanji flying through the wreckage with massive impact "ビシャアアアア!!" A dropped knife spins through the air. Onlookers react: "HE NEVER HOLDS BACK, DOES HE...!" "DAMN, LOOK AT THE CAPTAIN GO." "SANJI!" Sanji lies battered on the floor, bloodied and determined, vowing "FIND ALL BLUE ONE DAY...!" while struggling to rise with "I'M GONNA..." as more impacts "ガブッ!!" and "ハアアアア." echo around him.ZeffSanjiPattyCarnePage 8On the deck of the Krieg Pirates' ship amid pouring rain, the crew erupts in mocking laughter. "DOESN'T EXIST EVEN IN GRAND LINE!" one pirate jeers. "GO AHEAD, CAPTAIN! TELL HIM! TELL HIM THAT A PLACE LIKE THAT," another shouts. A third adds, "HE SAID HE'S GONNA FIND ALL BLUE! THAT'S QUITE THE DREAM!" while Don Krieg himself laughs, "AHAHA HAHA!" A subordinate snaps back, "WHY WOULD YOU GO AND TALK ABOUT THAT NOW OF ALL TIMES...!I" and "YOU IDIOT..." The ship suddenly lurches violently from a massive impact, sending crew flying as debris scatters. Below, a long-haired figure lies sprawled on the tilting deck, yelling in terror, "THAT I'M GONNA BE KILLED BY STUPID PIRATES LIKE YOU IN A PLACE LIKE THIS!" Another voice cries, "THERE'S NO WAY," as the vessel groans under the storm's force and the crew panics.Don KriegKrieg Pirates crew memberlong-haired crew memberPage 9The storm rages harder. A crewman shouts, "LOAD UP ALL OF THE LOOT BACK TO OUR BOAT!" Another replies, "ALRIGHT." On the tilting deck a panicked pirate yells, "CAPTAIN, WE HAVE TO PULL BACK RIGHT AWAY! THE COMING STORM'S MUCH BIGGER THAN WE THOUGHT!" The ship is slammed sideways by enormous waves; crates, barrels, and men tumble across the listing deck amid huge impact SFX. From the lower deck Luffy appears, eyes wide, shouting "SANJI!" as the vessel heaves violently and crew members are hurled overboard with cries of "AGHHH!"Don KriegKrieg Pirates crew memberMonkey D. LuffyPage 10The ship is torn apart by the storm. A crewman screams "CAPTAIN!I" while another shouts "WHA!I" A massive wave smashes the vessel, flinging men into the air with a loud "AHHHHHHH!" and impact SFX. The mast and rigging collapse; a long-haired figure clings desperately to the broken deck as the hull cracks and water surges everywhere. The entire ship lists sharply, ropes and debris flying in the chaos.Don KriegKrieg Pirates crew memberlong-haired crew memberPage 11Don Krieg glares furiously through the downpour, muttering "THAT STUPID BRAT..." The ship is wrenched upward by a colossal whirlpool-like wave; crew members cling to the tilting structure, shouting "CAPTAIN!" and "W-WHAT'RE YOU DOING!I IT'S JUST A STUPID LITTLE KID!" Another yells "CAPTAIN!" as the vessel is dragged into the massive vortex. The entire ship spins violently in the roaring sea while the crew stares in horror at the overwhelming force of the storm.Don KriegKrieg Pirates crew memberPage 12A massive pirate ship is violently smashed apart by a raging storm. Huge waves crash over the deck as the vessel breaks, with loud SFX reading CRACK... CRACK and CRASH. The ship tilts and sinks beneath the churning sea. The storm subsides, leaving only swirling whirlpools and debris. Far in the distance, a lone barren rock juts from the calm ocean under a clear sky with a few birds flying overhead. The rock stands isolated with no visible vegetation or life.Page 13On the barren rock, a blond young man in a suit sits up and speaks to the cloaked bearded man beside him. "YOU'RE A PRETTY LUCKY ONE, ALRIGHT. SO YOU WOKE UP, DID YOU, YOU LITTLE EGGPLANT..." The cloaked man replies gruffly. They discuss the shipwreck: "WOULDN'T BE SURPRISING IF YOUR SHIP SANK DURING THAT ROUGH STORM." "WHO KNOWS. WHERE'S THE SHIPI" "OF COURSE YOU CAN'T MOVE EASILY. JUST WHOSE KICK DID YOU THINK YOU RECEIVEDI OW OW AWWW! P-PIRA..." The cloaked man notes the wreckage around them. The blond man says, "I CAN TELL BY THE WRECKAGE. I CAN ONLY BE GRATEFUL THAT I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF MY CREWMATES' DEAD BODIES. BUT... I KNOW MY SHIP HAS SUNK FOR SURE AT LEAST."Sanjiunidentified cloaked manPage 14The cloaked man sits on the rock and declares, "ARE YOU STUCK ON THIS GOD-FORSAKEN ROCK, WITHOUT A SINGLE PLANT, FRUIT, OR ANIMAL TO EAT. MEANING THAT YOU AND I, IN ANY CASE, THE STORM WAS 2 DAYS AGO." He warns that jumping into the sea is impossible due to the waves carving the rock. The blond man protests, "IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP, I'LL JUST EAT YOU INSTEAD." The cloaked man snaps back, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" The blond man firmly answers, "NO. IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO GET FOOD. FEEL FREE TO CRY FOR YOU WANT."Sanjiunidentified cloaked manPage 15The cloaked man and the blond man continue talking on the rock. "IF WE'RE LUCKY, WE MIGHT BE SAVED TOMORROW. AND IF WE'RE NOT, WE'LL BE WAITING UNTIL WE'RE NOTHING BUT A DRIED UP PILE OF BONES. WAITING FOR HELP IS THE ONLY OPTION WE HAVE." The cloaked man offers a share of food from large sacks, saying "THIS IS YOUR SHARE." The blond man reacts with shock, "ME...I PILE OF BONESI" They argue over portions: "OF COURSE! I'M AN ADULT, SO IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT I EAT MORE." "WAIT A MINUTE! YOUR SHARE IS WAY BIGGER THAN MINE! IT'S ALMOST 3 TIMES WHAT I'VE GOT!" "BUT USE YOUR HEAD AND SAVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. EATING NORMALLY, IT SHOULD LAST YOU 5 DAYS. THIS FOOD HERE GOT WASHED UP HERE JUST LIKE US. IT'S A GOOD THING THAT WE'RE BOTH COOKS."Sanjiunidentified cloaked manPage 16Zeff stands on the rocky outcrop with a large sack over his shoulder, one leg raised after kicking. "SO LET'S JUST TRY TO GET ALONG UNTIL HELP COMES, ALRIGHTI" he says. A small "!!" reaction comes from below. "THAT'S THE SITUATION WE'RE STUCK IN," he continues. Young Sanji glares up furiously. "SO DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE ANY NICER THAN THAT," Sanji growls. Zeff retorts, "YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ME NICE FOR EVEN GIVING YOU FOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE." "YOU DAMN GEEZER..." Sanji mutters. Zeff points across the sea and instructs, "BEST NOT TO WASTE ANY ENERGY FOR UNNECESSARY THINGS. UNTIL THEN, DON'T BOTHER CONTACTING ME. IF YOU SEE A SHIP, CALL AND LET ME KNOW RIGHT AWAY. AND I'LL SIT ON THAT OTHER SIDE OF THE ROCK. THIS WAY, WE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP WATCH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SEA. YOU SIT ON THIS SIDE." Young Sanji sits hugging his knees. "PRAY FOR GOOD LUCK," Zeff says as he walks away.ZeffSanjiPage 17Young Sanji sits alone on the barren rocks by the sea at sunset, a small bag beside him. Distant birds fly over the water. He hunches forward, stomach growling loudly with "ぐううう..." SFX. He clutches his belly in pain. A close-up shows his determined yet pained face. Narration notes that using his head to save as much food as possible should let the supplies last five days if eaten normally. Sanji stares out at the horizon with a serious expression, the sea stretching empty before him.SanjiPage 18Young Sanji screams from the cliff edge, "I DON'T WANNA DIE!" Waves crash violently below. Zeff's face appears in close-up, sweat dripping, eyes fierce. "EVEN MY RED-LEG WILL MEET ITS END..." he mutters. "SO THIS IS WHERE..." A massive impact follows with bold "ドカン" and "カン" SFX as Zeff is hurled backward, cloak flaring, body slamming into the rocks. "!!!" reaction marks punctuate the blow. Young Sanji watches from the cliff in shock.ZeffSanjiPage 19ExtraThis is the Question Corner (質問コーナー) page. D: I HAVE A QUESTION. HOW QUICKLY CAN CAPTAIN KURO RUN 100 METERSI O: TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO MEASURE HIS SPEED CORRECTLY, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN 5 SECONDS. THINK OF IT AS 4 POINT SOMETHING. WHOA! THAT'S A WORLD RECORD. D: ARE PATTY AND CARNE'S NAMES FROM "SPAGHETTI!" AND "CALZONE"I O: HMMM! IT IS TRUE THAT THEIR NAMES ARE DERIVED FROM FOOD-RELATED WORDS, BUT THAT'S NOT RIGHT. PATTY IS TAKEN FROM THE NAME OF A TYPE OF DESSERT CHEF (PATISSIERE). AND CARNE IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE SPANISH WORD FOR MEAT. D: IF LUFFY GETS 7,200 FUNKY GOMU GOMUS, DOES THAT MEAN SANJI IS ABOUT 8,500 FUNKY ERO EROSI O: OH, NO, NOT AT ALL. HE CAN GET AT LEAST 930 MERCHEN ERO EROS. D: COULD YOU MAKE THE ONE PIECE TANKOBON A LITTLE CHEAPERI O: RIGHT NOW... 1 BOOK IS 410 YEN. AND JUMP COSTS 220 YEN... WHEN I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, A TANKOBON WAS 360 YEN AND A JUMP COST 170 YEN. BUT THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING RISES. THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT'S THE SAME FOR EVERYONE. AND 100 YEN IS JUST NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. D: SENSEI! WHEN YOU ARE DRAWING THE CHARACTERS OF ONE PIECE, AND LUFFY IS MAD, FOR EXAMPLE, DO YOU GET A MAD EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE, OR LOOK REALLY STRAINEDIII TELL ME!! I DO IT. O: OH, I SURE DO. I MAKE LOTS OF FACES WHEN I DRAW. WHEN I DREW THE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD OF THE BREAK-UP OF THE USOPP PIRATE CREW, MY FACE GOT REALLY TIRED. I CRIED SO MUCH WHEN I DREW THAT, I THOUGHT MY FACE WAS GOING TO CRAMP UP.Page 20No description for this page.
