## One Piece Chapter 424, pages 5-6: Escape Ship - Chapter: 424 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Sanji, Sogeking, Roronoa Zoro, Kokoro, Franky, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 5: The Straw Hats and their allies are trapped between two disasters. Behind them are "THE WATER-FALL AND A BURNING ISLAND," and in front of them are "MUZZLES AND CANNONS POINTED AT US!!" Someone groans, "OH CRAP~~~!!!" because there is nowhere to run. A Marine report confirms the larger encirclement: "WE HAVE COMPLETED THE RETRIEVAL OF THE MARINES AND THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS." Then the ships form a line: "EACH SHIP, KEEP A DISTANCE FROM THE MAIN GATE." The crew looks out at the surrounding warships and asks, "WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO?" The answer is not yet spoken, but the formation tells them they are being boxed in before the final fire begins. Page 6: The warships confirm the Straw Hats' route. "WARSHIPS NUMBER 6, 7, AND 8 HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE PIRATES ARE IN FRONT OF THE MAIN GATE, SIR," one report says. The answer is simply, "GOOD." Around the gate, the fleet settles into firing positions while the escape ship waits below. From the bridge and towers, people call, "HEEY!!" and "HEY, GUYS, GET A GRIP!!" but the shape of the battlefield has changed. The crew may have reached the ship, but the Buster Call has finished surrounding the very place they must pass through.
