## One Piece Chapter 524, pages 11-12: Nobody Can Stop This Anymore - Chapter: 524 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Perona, Bartholomew Kuma, Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Salome, Marine crew, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 11: Perona tends to Zoro in the gloomy castle and laughs that he must have been beaten by Kuma, because he looks like he is about to die. Zoro wakes under bandages and thinks back to Kuma's offer: "If you were to take a trip, where would you like to go...?" He realizes, "I'm alive..." then asks, "Where... am I?" The shock of remembering Kuma hits him, and he screams. Perona asks what is wrong with him and why he is suddenly yelling. Zoro, still barely conscious, asks where his swords are. Perona snaps, "You think I'd give you a weapon!?" The page captures Zoro's priorities perfectly: after nearly dying and waking in an unknown castle beside an enemy, his first practical concern is still his blades. Page 12: Back in the present, the captain Luffy steadily crosses the waves toward the great prison Impel Down in order to free his brother Ace. A route map shows the Red Line, Mariejoa, Marine Headquarters, the Calm Belt, Impel Down, Enies Lobby, and Amazon Lily, emphasizing the Government current that carries the ship forward. Hancock catches Luffy's attention and says, "Remember this well, you dummy!" while he cries out because Salome has him clamped in hiding. In Hancock's room, she warns him that her meals are supposed to be 100 kilograms each, and any less will not satisfy her. Luffy apologizes desperately to the frightened Marines, asking if they wish to be turned to stone again, while Hancock maintains the cover story and orders everyone to be more careful.
