## One Piece Chapter 65, pages 16-17: PREPAREDNESS - Chapter: 65 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Don Krieg, Sanji, Zeff ### Summary Page 16: Luffy's Bazooka attack connects with Krieg's armor, but Krieg stands firm. "KUHAHAHAHA! YOUR ATTACK WAS USELESS AGAIN! THIS IS THE EXTENT OF YOUR STRENGTH!" Krieg laughs. However, a small "CRACK" appears on the Wootz steel armor. "BUT I'LL COMPLIMENT YOU FOR MANAGING TO PUT A SMALL CRACK IN MY ARMOUR!" Krieg says. He then unleashes a massive explosion at point-blank range. "NOW YOU CAN DIE HAPPILY!" he shouts. The blast engulfs Luffy completely. Sanji screams in horror, "ERRAND BOY!" As the smoke billows, Zeff's words echo once more: "PERHAPS IT STEMS FROM HIS COMPLETE PREPAREDNESS TO SURVIVE NO MATTER WHAT, OR HIS CONVICTION THAT FEARS NO DEATH..." Page 17: Suddenly, from within the thick smoke of the explosion, Luffy's arms stretch out. "GOMU GOMU..." he says, with a "STRETCH!" text bubble. His hands latch onto Krieg's armor, pulling Luffy's body forward through the blast. Krieg is caught completely off guard, exclaiming "WHA!?" and "!!?". Luffy flies out of the smoke, his face battered but furious. He slams both of his palms directly into the cracked section of Krieg's Wootz steel chest plate. "BAZOOKA!!" he screams. The impact is devastating, accompanied by a massive "BAM!!" sound effect. The supposedly impenetrable armor shatters into pieces upon impact, leaving Krieg wide-eyed in shock.
