Luffy, Richie, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Buggy Pirates, villagers, Boodle, Chouchou ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays "CHAPTER 21" and the title "VILLAGE". The illustration shows Luffy sleeping peacefully, leaning back against the side of a large, sleeping tiger. Luffy's straw hat rests on the tiger's back. Scattered around them on a mat are empty bowls, plates with picked-clean bones, a bottle, and a tied sack, suggesting they have just finished a large feast on the beach. Page 1: Luffy throws his arms wide in the air, shouting "VICTORY!!" with a loud "DO-N" sound effect. In the next panel, Luffy stands with his hands on his hips, smiling at Nami who is holding a large sack. He asks, "NOW YOU'RE GONNA BECOME MY CREW MEMBER, RIGHT?" Nami replies, "I'M JUST COOPERATING WITH YOU WHILE IT SERVES MY PURPOSE, REMEMBER THAT! I'LL SAY OKAY FOR NOW, SINCE IT SEEMS THAT IF I GO ALONG WITH YOU GUYS I'LL BE ABLE TO EARN A LOT!" In the bottom panel, Nami happily hugs the large sack of treasure, a heart floating near her head with a "BAFU" sound effect. She says, "BUGGY SAID THAT HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST TREASURES FOR HIMSELF, SO THIS BAG'S CONTENTS ARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY! THIS MUCH TREASURE SHOULD BE WORTH AT LEAST 10 MILLION BELI!!" Page 2: A wide view of the town street shows several of Buggy's pirates lying unconscious on the ground. In the foreground, Zoro lies face down, motionless. Further down the street, Nami and Luffy stand together. Nami says, "I'VE DIVIDED IT INTO TWO BAGS SO YOU HOLD HALF OF IT. THIS TREASURE IS SO HEAVY THAT CARRYING IT ALONE IS DIFFICULT." A loud "BA---N!" sound effect rings out. Luffy looks down with a "!" of surprise. Nami observes him quietly, then asks, "......... THAT HAT... IS IT THAT PRECIOUS TO YOU??" Luffy smiles broadly, pulling the straw hat firmly onto his head with a "PULLS!" motion. He answers, "YEAH, BUT IT'S ALRIGHT. I FEEL BETTER NOW THAT I GOT RID OF BUGGY!!" Page 3: Two of Buggy's pirates, battered and hiding behind wooden debris, tremble with a "GAKU..." sound. One whispers, "...HEY, CAPTAIN BUGGY GOT KNOCKED OUT OF SIGHT. WHAT... SHOULD WE DO?" The other replies, "FOR NOW LET'S PRETEND WE'RE STILL PASSED OUT." The first agrees, "THAT'S A GOOD IDEA." Nearby, Luffy crouches beside the prone Zoro, patting his back with a "PAT! PAT!" sound. "OI ZORO, GET UP! LET'S GO," Luffy says. Zoro groans, "HMM?" Zoro sits up with a "MUKU..." sound, looking over his shoulder at Luffy. ".........! DID YOU FINISH THE FIGHT...?" he asks. Luffy grins, "YEAH, WE ALSO GOT THE MAP AND THE TREASURE." Zoro remains seated, holding his head. "...AAH I DON'T THINK I CAN WALK YET. FEELS DIZZY..." Nami, standing nearby, remarks, "OBVIOUSLY! IF YOU GUYS CAN STILL WALK, THEN YOU AREN'T HUMAN..." Luffy looks confused and asks, "WHY DID YOU INCLUDE ME?" Nami yells back angrily, "YOU'RE THE WEIRDEST!!" Page 4: The page opens with a view of the town street. In the foreground, the back of a villager's head is visible. Further down the street, Luffy and Nami stand near the unconscious bodies of Buggy's pirates. Voices from off-panel say, "OH YEAH" and "I'LL WAKE UP THE CHIEF!". Another voice calls out, "YOU GUYS...". In the next panel, a group of armed villagers approaches. The man in the front, wearing a diamond-patterned shirt and carrying a sword over his shoulder, announces, "WE'RE THE PEOPLE OF THIS VILLAGE". He asks, "DID THE PIRATES STIR UP A FIGHT AMONGST THEMSELVES...? IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING PLEASE TELL US...". In the bottom panel, Nami smiles warmly and replies, "OH... SO YOU'RE THE VILLAGERS". She continues, "I THINK SOME OF THE PIRATE CREW ARE STILL HERE", and adds, "IF YOU WANT US TO TELL YOU THEN THERE ISN'T ANYTHING MUCH LEFT TO TELL YOU...". Suddenly, a panicked voice from off-panel interrupts, shouting, "AH!! CHIEF!!". Page 5: The villagers rush past Luffy and Nami, gathering anxiously around the unconscious body of their Chief, Boodle, who lies face down on the ground. They cry out in distress, "GOODNESS GRACIOUS!! PLEASE GET UP!", "DAMMIT!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!?", and "IT'S DEFINITELY THE WORK OF THOSE PIRATES!!". In the middle panel, Luffy stands calmly. A voice says, "AH, SORRY...", before Luffy bluntly declares, "I DID THAT TO THE CHIEF!". A large "DO-N" sound effect emphasizes his confession. In the bottom panel, the villagers whip around to face him, their expressions twisting into fierce, angry glares accompanied by a "GIRO!!" sound effect. They shout, "WHAT?!". Nami, sweating nervously, turns to Luffy and scolds him, "HEY! WHY DID YOU TELL THEM THAT KINDA THING ON PURPOSE...". Luffy simply replies, "YOU SAW ME DO IT, RIGHT?...". Nami yells back, "I KNOW, BUT STILL!! THAT WAS BECAUSE YOU HAD A GOOD REASON...". Page 6: The angry villagers point their spears and swords threateningly at Luffy and Nami. They shout, "ALL OF YOU, HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO OUR CHIEF...", "IT DOESN'T MATTER WH...
