## One Piece Chapter 164, pages 11-12: Love My Country - Chapter: 164 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Vivi, Koza, King Cobra, Igaram, Chaka, Pell, Toto ### Summary Page 11: Back inside the safety of the palace, Vivi is crying heavily, tears streaming down her face. Igaram and King Cobra watch her with concern. Vivi stammers, "B-but... It was... So scary...!" Cobra tries to comfort her, saying, "Well yeah, it was scary for me too since they had knives but-" Vivi interrupts him, "No, that's not it!" A flashback panel shows Koza yelling, "WE'LL DIE PROTECTING VIVI IF WE HAVE TO!" Vivi continues to sob, her face buried in her arms. "Please don't ever say, Something as scary as dying, leader...!" she cries. Another panel shows young Koza, now with a large bandage covering his injured left eye, looking slightly surprised by her reaction. Page 12: King Cobra, Igaram, Chaka, Pell, and Toto (Koza's father) are gathered in the room, listening to Vivi. Cobra smiles warmly, realizing the truth. "So she was scared most by the idea of losing her friends..." he says. He then addresses Koza directly. "Vivi may still be just a little girl but she's also the princess. Kouza, what you did today was very commendable. For that, I must give you a proper thank-you." Koza looks down modestly and replies, "...Vivi's our friend so it's only natural I did what I did." Cobra's expression softens further as he asks, "...Do you love this country, Kouza?" Koza looks up with a bright, wide smile and answers enthusiastically, "Yup! It's the country I was born in, after all!" Cobra grins back at him, sharing the sentiment. "Same here!"
