## One Piece Chapter 99, pages 2-3: LUFFY DIES - Chapter: 99 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy, Crowd, Nami, Usopp ### Summary Page 2: Trapped in the wooden pillory on the execution platform, Luffy looks up at Buggy with a mild expression and says, "THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN AN EXECUTION." Buggy angrily yells back, "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BEING EXECUTED HERE!" Luffy's eyes widen in shock as he exclaims, "WHAT!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Buggy retorts, "NO, YOU STOP KIDDING AROUND!" A wide shot shows the massive execution platform situated in front of a grand building in the town square, surrounded by a huge crowd of onlookers. Buggy raises his sword high and announces to the masses, "YOUR FLASHY EXECUTION, SHALL NOW BE CARRIED OUT FOR THE WHOLE PUBLIC TO SEE!" Someone in the crowd cries out, "NOOO!" Page 3: Nami and Usopp run frantically through the town streets. Usopp, trailing behind, asks, "WHY'RE YOU IN SUCH A RUSH FOR!?", "SHOULDN'T WE BE TRYING TO SAVE LUFFY BACK THERE!?" Nami replies without stopping, "WHAT USE WOULD WE BE BACK THERE!?", "WE COULD BACK THEM UP! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I TOOK DOWN A FISHMAN OFFICER ALL BY MYSELF!", "WELL, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT TO WORRY ABOUT." Usopp is confused: "MORE IMPORTANT?" Nami turns her head, looking serious, and says, "A STORM IS HEADED FOR THIS ISLAND." Usopp exclaims, "WHAT!?" Nami explains her reasoning: "THE AIR PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE'S BEEN DROPPING FOR THE PAST WHILE NOW.", "NOT ONLY THAT, I SAW CUMULUS CLOUDS HEADING FROM THE EAST.", "THAT'S A SURE SIGN OF A STORM!" She adds, "WITH THAT RUCKUS GOING ON IN THE TOWN SQUARE, THE MARINES ARE SURE TO COME OUT.", "WHAT WOULD WE DO IF OUR SHIP HAPPENED TO WASH AWAY WHEN WE NEEDED TO RUN AWAY!?" Realizing the danger, Usopp panics and sprints after her, yelling, "HOLY CRAP, YOU'RE RIGHT! THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT!", "H-HEY! WAIT FOR ME!"
