## One Piece Chapter 656, pages 3-7: Adventure on the Burning Island - Chapter: 656 - Pages: 3-7 - Characters: Dragon, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp ### Summary Page 3: The fire blast tears across the ruins, and Usopp finally names what just happened: "It breathed fire!!!" Smoke and debris fill the page while the dragon's huge neck coils through the burning air. Luffy is thrilled rather than frightened, laughing, "Ahaha haha!!" Zoro, already sprinting with his swords, says, "This is getting interesting...!!" Usopp, overwhelmed by the impossibility of the scene, cries, "Owowowo wowwww!!! This thing can't exist!! I must be dreaming!!" Luffy does not stop to debate the dream; he swings himself into position and begins, "Gomu Gomu no..." The page turns the encounter from shock into action, with Luffy launching himself straight toward the dragon while the others race through the flames. Page 4: Luffy drives his fist into the dragon with "Jet Bullet!!!" The impact crashes into the beast's face, but instead of collapsing, the dragon only snarls and keeps moving. Its body grinds through the ruins with "Rrrghhhhhhh...!!!" and the Straw Hats are forced to keep dodging its massive frame. Luffy lands nearby and notices the problem at once: "Whoa!! Its skin is really hard!!" Another small sound, "Hm?", marks that something about the situation still does not fit. The punch connected cleanly, yet the dragon's hide barely gives way. The page establishes that brute force alone will not be simple here; this enemy is not only huge and fire-breathing, but armored by an unusually tough body. Page 5: The dragon answers Luffy's strike by smashing through more of the burning ruins, sending rocks and smoke outward as it roars, "Ggrr rrrhah hhh!!!" The crash throws Luffy away and Usopp screams, "Luffy!!!" Zoro stands closer to the beast, calm enough to invite the fight: "Go on. Try it." The strange voice also returns, taunting from the middle of the chaos: "I can feel your presence, pfft!!!" Someone nearby only reacts with "Huh?" The page makes the confusion sharper. Zoro is ready to cut the dragon, Luffy is being tossed around by the collision, and the unexplained speaker is now clearly sensing people rather than just making random animal sounds. Page 6: The dragon swings through the ruins again, and Luffy is flung with a long cry of "Whooaaaaaaa!!" The shock of the voice is no longer only Usopp's imagination; Zoro states, "Luffy's right... This thing really can talk!!" Usopp calls toward him, "Samurai!!!" while a note on the page explains the attack name as a pun on "ultra" and "tora-gari" meaning "tiger hunt." Zoro draws himself into a cutting stance and completes the technique: "Ul... ...Tora-Gari!!!" The blade flashes against the dragon's hard body. The page pushes two things at once: Zoro is escalating to a named sword attack, and the voice issue has become undeniable enough that even Zoro accepts it. Page 7: Zoro's sword strike bites into the dragon and the beast howls, "Ngwoooohhhhh!!!" Zoro grits his teeth at the resistance and says, "Ugh...!!! What's up with its strength and its toughness?!" The dragon crashes forward again, roaring, "Rgggghh, ghhhhh!!!" Luffy, furious now, shouts from the side, "...Nnnn ghhh!!! You're going down for that!!!" He rushes back toward the beast as the ruins splinter around them. The page keeps the physical facts very clear: Zoro can hurt the creature, but even his cut does not simply end the fight. The dragon remains mobile, loud, and powerful enough to keep both Luffy and Zoro struggling.
