## One Piece Chapter 529, pages 11-13: Beast Hell - Chapter: 529 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Sphinx, Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy, Galdino, Mr. 3, Impel Down prisoners ### Summary Page 11: The Sphinx's huge paw comes down with a heavy impact, and the beast smashes the floor so violently that Luffy, Buggy, and Mr. 3 are thrown into panic. Someone shouts, "Uwohh!! This guy is bad news!!" The imprisoned men nearby also panic as the Sphinx goes wild. They say the Sphinx is going wild someplace far away and that they knew it was impossible for them to escape. The Sphinx's roar echoes through the cells as prisoners cling to the bars, realizing that opening their cages has not made them free if the floor boss can still crush everything in sight. The page turns the escape momentum back against the prisoners and makes the Sphinx feel less like a guardian and more like a walking disaster. Page 12: The Sphinx roars again, and Luffy asks what Buggy and Mr. 3 are doing as they scramble behind him. Mr. 3 and Buggy clasp hands and announce, "All right!! We're forming the jail-break alliance!!" Buggy says he is glad someone else is serious about escaping, while Mr. 3 says they can now put the "make-Strawhat-into-bait" plan into action. Luffy ignores the scheming behind him and launches forward with "Gomu Gomu..." before slamming the Sphinx with "Bazooka!!!" The attack crashes into the beast with a huge impact. The page is funny because Buggy and Mr. 3 believe they are manipulating Luffy, while Luffy is already doing exactly what he does best: charging straight into the strongest enemy blocking the way. Page 13: Luffy's attack enrages the Sphinx instead of stopping it. The creature roars "Vuoru-ruru-raah!!!" and Buggy yells that this is bad, while Mr. 3 asks why Luffy is angering it. Buggy declares, "Hah!! That's not fair, you two can get so high up!!" as he and Mr. 3 move in from the sides, trying to strike the Sphinx while Luffy is above. For a second it looks as if the three escapees might surround the beast, but the Sphinx swings its enormous paw down and smashes Buggy and Mr. 3 into the floor with a loud "Gashaan!!" Their plan to exploit Luffy's frontal attack collapses immediately. The page makes clear that the Sphinx is too strong to be handled by cheap opportunistic tactics.
