Luffy, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 16: Top panel: A massive close-up of Koby's face as he screams at the top of his lungs, "I'M NO PIRATE!!" "I'M GONNA BE A NAVY OFFICER!!!" A huge "WHAM" sound effect emphasizes his outburst. Middle panels: The Marine Commander and the other Marines stare at Koby in stunned silence. Ririka and Rika watch from the background. A close-up shows Koby's nervous, wide eye, followed by a close-up of the Commander's serious, silent expression with a "..." bubble. Bottom panels: The Commander turns and begins to walk away with "TP TP" footsteps. He says, "MANY OF MY FELLOW SAILORS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY PIRATES..." "DON'T TAKE BEING A SAILOR LIGHTLY." He then adds, "YOU'RE ACCEPTED..." Koby immediately responds, "YES SIR!" In the final panel, Koby salutes sharply, tears streaming down his face as he yells, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR!!" Page 17: Top panel: At the docks, Luffy and Zoro are preparing a small boat. Zoro remarks, "THAT WAS SOME PRETTY BAD ACTING..." "I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY SAW THROUGH IT." Luffy, smiling, replies, "IT'S ALL UP TO KOBY, NOW. HE'LL GET IN SOMEHOW!" Middle panel: Zoro stands on the dock while Luffy is in the boat, untying a rope. Zoro says, "WELL, IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BE LEAVING..." "EVERYBODY HATES US... THAT'S THE WAY PIRATES SHOULD LEAVE A TOWN..." Luffy laughs, "HAHAHA. I GUESS THAT'S TRUE!" Bottom panel: Luffy and Zoro look back towards the town buildings. In the distance, Koby is running towards them, calling out, "L-LU--" "L-LU--" "LUFFY!!!" Luffy looks over his shoulder, a bubble reading "KOBY!" appearing next to him. Page 18: Top panel: Koby stands at attention, tears streaming down his face as he delivers a crisp salute with a loud "FWIP!" sound effect. He yells at the top of his lungs, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CAP'N LUFFY! I'LL NEVER FORGET ALL YOU DID FOR ME!!!" Middle panels: Luffy, standing in the small boat, throws his head back in a wide, joyous laugh, "HAHA HA!" He calls back to his friend, "WE'LL MEET AGAIN, KOBY!!" In the boat beside him, Zoro holds his swords and looks back at the shore with a smirk, remarking, "THIS IS A NEW ONE. A PIRATE BEING SALUTED BY THE NAVY!" Bottom panel: The Marine Commander, Ripper, suddenly shouts, "'TEN-SHUN!" With a synchronized "FWIP!!", the Commander and all the Marines lined up behind Koby snap into a crisp salute directed at the departing pirates. Koby turns his head in surprise, uttering a confused "HUH!?"
