## One Piece Chapter 203, pages 0-3: Croc-Like - Chapter: 203 - Pages: 0-3 - Characters: Hachi, Octopako, Mash, Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, King Cobra, Crocodile ### Summary Page 0: The title page for Chapter 203, titled "Croc-Like". The cover story is "Hachi's Ocean Floor Stroll Vol. 18 'Proposing again to his beloved Octopako'". The illustration shows Hachi, the octopus fish-man, offering a proposal to Octopako, an octopus fish-woman. She rejects him, indicated by a speech bubble containing a broken heart. Hachi looks devastated, crying out in shock with his hands raised. In the foreground below them, the large face of Mash observes the scene. Page 1: The scene opens outside a grand temple or palace entrance lined with tall palm trees, as the roar of a crowd echoes in the background with a loud "WAAAAAA..." sound effect. In the next panel, Monkey D. Luffy lies face down on the ground, seemingly unconscious or completely exhausted. The perspective then shifts to the feet of three individuals walking with a steady "clack... clack..." sound. The bottom panels reveal the faces of the people walking: Nico Robin wearing her signature cowboy hat, King Cobra looking downcast and serious, and Crocodile walking forward with a stern expression. Page 2: Inside a dimly lit underground crypt, King Cobra sits on the floor, looking up at a massive, ancient stone block covered in Poneglyph text. He asks, "Is this everything this country is hiding...!?" Nico Robin and Crocodile stand before the Poneglyph, examining it. Crocodile replies to the king, "I showed you everything as promised..." Cobra questions him, "Why, dissatisfied?" Cobra continues, "You wouldn't be able to find this place without knowing where to look... A fitting place for a state secret." Crocodile glares at him, looking visibly annoyed by the king's remarks. Page 3: Crocodile and Nico Robin stand in front of the massive Poneglyph, with King Cobra sitting on the floor in the background. Crocodile asks, "...So is this a poneglyph, Nico Robin?" Robin replies, "...You arrived quickly." She then asks him, "So can you decipher it?" Crocodile looks at the ancient text and says, "It's rather... Hmm, I'm not quite sure how to describe it..." Cobra watches them nervously, sweating as they discuss the stone. Crocodile commands Robin, "Read this poneglyph... Then read it aloud." Robin simply answers, "...Yes."
