## One Piece Chapter 16, pages 13-15: VERSUS BUGGY'S CREW! - Chapter: 16 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Cabaji, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy ### Summary Page 13: Cabaji recovers and is back upright on his unicycle, pedaling forward with a "RERK RERK" sound. He holds his sword ready and addresses Zoro: "YOUR MATEY'S ODD TALENTS CAUSED US QUITE A BIT OF TROUBLE." He continues his taunt, "SO YOU'RE THE BIG SCARY 'PIRATE HUNTER.' WELL, THIS'LL TEACH YOU TO MESS WITH CAP'N BUGGY'S CREW." The scene shifts to Zoro, who is on his hands and knees, struggling to stay up. He pants heavily, with "HUFF!!", "HUFF...!!", and "HUFF...!!" indicating his exhaustion and pain. Sweat drips from his face. Nearby, Nami turns to Luffy, looking frantic and angry. She yells at him, "HOW CAN YOU JUST STAND THERE AND WATCH YOUR FRIEND GET KILLED!?" Luffy remains completely silent, his face serious, with a simple "..." speech bubble. In the bottom panel, Cabaji lunges forward aggressively, swinging his sword down with a loud "FWOSH" sound. He shouts, "RORONOA ZOLO!!" and "PREPARE TO BE WELL DONE!!". Page 14: Zoro intercepts Cabaji's attack, blocking the downward sword strike with his own blade. A loud clashing sound effect marks the impact. Zoro grunts, "UNGH!?", holding his ground despite his heavily bandaged and bleeding side. Watching the clash, Nami stares in disbelief, asking, "HOW...?" Beside her, Luffy breaks into a wide, confident grin and cheers, "YEAH!!" The force of Zoro's block sends Cabaji flying backward. He flips upside down with a "FWUMP" sound, looking completely bewildered with "!??" floating near his head. Zoro stands tall in the background. In a small panel, Buggy the Clown reacts to the turn of events with a surprised "!" bubble. In the final panel, Zoro stands ready, panting slightly with a "HUF". He wipes his mouth with his thumb, producing a "SWIP" sound, and glares menacingly. He says, "YOU'RE A VERY ANNOYING PERSON..." and adds, "I HOPE YOU ENJOYED KICKING MY WOUND...". Page 15: A massive, dramatic panel dominates the top half of the page. Zoro deliberately plunges his own sword directly into his heavily bandaged side wound. A huge "SLISH!!" sound effect fills the background as blood violently spurts from the self-inflicted stab. Zoro's expression is intense and resolute, his head bowed slightly as he commits the shocking act. The bottom half of the page features four reaction panels. On the far right, Cabaji's face is contorted in absolute shock, his eyes bulging. He screams, "WHAT!!!" and "HE CUT HIMSELF!?". A jagged exclamation mark "!" bubble emphasizes his disbelief. Next to him, Nami covers her mouth with both hands, trembling and sweating in horror, with a "!?" bubble above her. Beside her, Luffy's jaw drops in a comical, wide-eyed expression of sympathetic pain, yelling, "OUCH!". On the far left, Buggy is equally stunned, his eyes wide and jaw slack, with an exclamation mark "!" bubble above his head.
