## One Piece Chapter 427, pages 7-9: It Ain't Like It's Hell Here - Chapter: 427 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Sogeking, Monkey D. Luffy, Rob Lucci ### Summary Page 7: Sogeking promises the ending Luffy has to reach: "WIN!!! AND WE'LL ALL GO BACK TOGETHER, LUFFY!!!" Luffy answers with the smallest but strongest word: "OF COURSE!!!" The shout pulls him back into motion. He rises from the rubble, steam twisting around him again, and Lucci watches in surprise. "...YOU COULD STILL MOVE?" Lucci asks. Luffy, breathing hard, says, "I NEVER SAID... ANYTHING ABOUT GIVING UP!!" Page 8: Lucci releases "SEIMEI KIKAN" and changes his body, becoming slimmer and more controlled. "I'LL FINISH YOU OFF WITH POWER AT ONCE," he says. Luffy coughs and rises anyway. "DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR NAKAMA, STRAWHAT," Lucci tells him. "I'LL SEND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM TO THE SAME HELL!!!" The threat is meant to crush him, but Luffy has just heard that this place is not hell, and he refuses to let Lucci decide where his friends will go. Page 9: Lucci attacks with "MADARA" and batters Luffy with a storm of rapid Shigan strikes. Luffy is driven backward through the smoke, but he watches the pattern and refuses to be struck the same way again. "I WON'T GET HIT BY THAT AGAIN..." he thinks. When Lucci tries to follow with "SAI DAI RIN," Luffy twists away from the next finger pistol, shocking Lucci for an instant. The momentum begins to shift, not because Luffy is unharmed, but because he is still learning in the middle of being destroyed.
