## One Piece Chapter 23, pages 10-12: CAPTAIN USOPP ENTERS - Chapter: 23 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Usopp, Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami ### Summary Page 10: Ninjin and Piiman yell at Usopp, "CAPTAIN, AREN'T YOU ALWAYS SAYING YOU WANT TO BE A REAL PIRATE!? HOW CAN A PIRATE BE AFRAID OF OTHER PIRATES!?" Usopp turns back, sweating, and rationalizes, "THAT'S RIGHT! AND THERE ARE ONLY THREE OF THEM..." Tamanegi asks, "WHAT? THREE...?" Usopp adds, "IT'S JUST TWO SMALL BOATS!" Usopp then strikes a confident pose, raising his fist high with a loud "DO--N!!" sound effect. He declares, "OKAY! USOPP'S PIRATE, LET'S MOVE! LET'S FIGHT FOR THE VILLAGE AND PEACE!" He starts running off, shouting, "LET'S GO! FOLLOW ME!" The three boys initially stare in silence with a "..." bubble, but then they cheer enthusiastically, raising their fists and yelling, "YES!!" and "YES CAPTAIN!!" Page 11: A wide view shows a large island with mountains in the distance under a cloudy sky. Luffy, Zoro, and Nami arrive at the island's shore in their two small boats. Luffy stands at the bow of his boat, holding a wooden pole, and looks out, saying, "WOW! THERE'S REALLY AN ISLAND HERE!!" Zoro sits behind him, resting his arms on his knees, and replies, "SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?" Nami, standing on the shore nearby, says, "WE FOLLOWED THE MAP, SO IT WON'T BE WRONG!" Luffy responds, "OH..." as the boat bumps against the shore with a "GAKON!" sound effect. Luffy points forward with a big smile, asking, "IS THERE A VILLAGE HERE?" Nami looks down at a map in her hands and confirms, "UH HUH! LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A SMALL VILLAGE!" Page 12: The page starts with three young boys, Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi, hiding behind a bush on a cliff overlooking the shore. One asks, "HEY! TAMANEGI, ARE THOSE THE PIRATES THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT?" Tamanegi replies, "THAT'S RIGHT! LOOK, THERE'S A PIRATE SYMBOL!" pointing towards the two small boats docked below. Another boy observes, "THEY DON'T LOOK SCARY!" and the first agrees, "YEAH!" Down on the beach, Luffy stretches his arms high, exclaiming, "BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I LAST STOOD ON FIRM GROUND..." Nami, standing nearby with her hands on her hips, retorts, "THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WERE SLEEPING ALL THE TIME!" Meanwhile, Usopp is shown hiding behind a rock, sweating and looking nervous, thinking ".........". In the next panel, Zoro looks back over his shoulder and casually remarks, "BY THE WAY, I JUST NOTICED A MOMENT AGO... WHAT ARE THOSE GUYS DOING THERE?" Luffy and Nami look confused. A large, jagged sound effect "Gikuuu!!" (SHOCKED!) erupts from the bush where the three boys are hiding, indicating they realize they've been spotted.
