## One Piece Chapter 14, pages 4-6: RECKLESS - Chapter: 14 - Pages: 4-6 - Characters: Townspeople, Boodle, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 4: In the refuge camp, the townspeople are gathered together, looking worried as a "MURMUR MURMUR" sound effect fills the air. One person asks, "YOU DON'T THINK SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE MAYOR?" Another replies, "THIS ISN'T GOOD..." A third volunteers, "I'LL GO FIND HIM!" A man with a mustache and a plaid shirt interjects, "NOW DON'T GO OFF HALF-COCKED! THE MAYOR'S TOO CLEVER TO LET HIMSELF GET CAPTURED." Another townsperson adds, "HE KNOWS THIS TOWN BETTER THAN ANYONE." The man with the mustache continues, "BUT HE ALSO CARES ABOUT THE TOWN MORE THAN ANYONE. MAYBE TOO MUCH." A flashback shows Boodle carrying a small sack. A townsperson tells him, "DON'T TAKE ANY UNNECESSARY RISKS NOW, MAYOR." Boodle replies, "WHAT MATTERS IS THAT WE'RE ALL SAFE. AS LONG AS WE ALL SURVIVE, WE CAN REBUILD THIS TOWN." He adds, "I KNOW, I KNOW. I'M JUST GOING TO FEED CHOUCHOU!" Back in the present, the man with the mustache says, "I WARNED HIM NOT TO TAKE ANY RISKS. I JUST HOPE HE HEARD ME." Meanwhile, in the empty streets of Orange Town, Nami and Luffy are walking together. A "STP" sound effect accompanies their footsteps. Nami looks back over her shoulder as a question mark bubble appears from behind a nearby building. Page 5: Nami turns to Luffy with a friendly smile, holding up a hand apologetically. "SORRY I YELLED AT YOU!" she says. Luffy looks at her blankly and simply replies, "HUH?" As they continue walking down the street, Nami says, "THAT'S OKAY. I KNOW YOU LOST SOMEONE TO PIRATES." She looks ahead with a slightly smug but sympathetic expression, adding, "I UNDERSTAND..." and "NOT THAT I WANT TO HEAR THE DETAILS OR ANYTHING..." Luffy walks beside her, looking at her. In the background behind them, Boodle is standing completely still, staring at the ground. Suddenly, Boodle throws his arms up in the air and screams at the top of his lungs, "AAAAH!!" He yells, "I CAN'T STANDS IT NO MORE!!!" Nami and Luffy turn around in shock, with Nami exclaiming, "HUH!?" A close-up of Boodle's face shows him gritting his teeth in intense frustration, tears streaming down his face as he growls, "UNGRRRR!!" Page 6: Boodle stands in the street, clenching his fist with tears flying from his eyes. He yells passionately, "I CAN'T STAND ANY MORE OF THEIR CRUEL BULLYING! NOT AFTER THE WAY CHOUCHOU AND THIS KID FOUGHT BACK SO BRAVELY!" He continues, "WHAT KIND OF MAYOR STANDS BACK AND WATCHES HIS TOWN BE DESTROYED!?" Nami and Luffy watch his outburst from a few steps away. Nami holds her hands out defensively, trying to placate the furious mayor. "MAYOR, PLEASE! CALM DOWN!" she pleads. A dramatic close-up shows Boodle yelling with intense conviction, "SOMETIMES A MAN'S GOTTA DO WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA DO!" He looks directly forward and asks, "ISN'T THAT RIGHT, SONNY?" A large "BWAAH!" sound effect emphasizes his powerful declaration. The page ends with a close-up of Luffy, who is grinning widely. He agrees enthusiastically, shouting, "THAT'S RIGHT!!" and "YOU SAID IT, OLD MAN!!" A large "DOOM" sound effect appears behind his head, matching his energetic response.
