## One Piece Chapter 56, pages 12-14: AS IF - Chapter: 56 - Pages: 12-14 - Characters: Pearl, Sanji, Patty, Carne, Zeff, Monkey D. Luffy, Gin ### Summary Page 12: Pearl leaps high into the air above Sanji, spreading his arms wide. He holds his large, pearl-studded shields ready to strike. He yells, "PEARL..." Sanji looks up, noticing the impending attack. With a brutal shout of "CLOSE!", Pearl slams the two heavy shields together, crushing Sanji's head between them with tremendous force. The impact creates a loud crash and a burst of impact lines. Page 13: Sanji takes the full, crushing blow from Pearl's shields. Blood spurts violently from his mouth as he cries out, "AHH...!" The Baratie cooks scream his name in horror. Zeff watches the brutal scene, his expression tight with suppressed emotion. Pearl lands, grinning sadistically as he holds his shields. Luffy, watching from the side, looks furious. He states firmly, "YOUR STORY'S GOT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH ME," implying he won't stand by and watch this happen, regardless of Sanji's reasons. Sanji collapses face-first onto the deck. Page 14: The cooks yell, "HE JUMPED!" as Pearl leaps high into the air once more, preparing to drop his massive weight onto the motionless Sanji. Pearl shouts his attack name, "SERVICE PEARL!" Sanji lies sprawled on the deck, letting out a weak "GUH!" Luffy turns his anger towards Gin, yelling, "THIS IS DIRTY, GIN!" Gin, sweating and defensive, yells back, "THIS IS HOW WE FIGHT! THIS IS YOUR FAULT ANYWAYS! ALL YOU NEED IS TO HAND OVER THE SHIP TO US AND IT'D BE ALL OVER!"
