Luffy, Crowd, Buggy ### Summary Page 7: A massive splash page shows Luffy trapped in the pillory on the execution platform, looking out over the enormous crowd gathered in the town square. With a wide, determined expression, he shouts at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing across the plaza: "I'M THE MAN...! WHO'LL BECOME THE PIRATE KING!" The crowd stares up at him in stunned silence. Page 8: The crowd reacts in shock to Luffy's declaration. People murmur, "WHA...!?", "THE PIRATE KING...?", "SAYING THAT IN THIS TOWN OUT OF ALL PLACES...", "HOW OUTRAGEOUS..." Buggy looks annoyed and asks, "IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY... YOU RUBBER BRAT!?" Luffy struggles against the wooden pillory, grunting, "NGHHHHH!" As Buggy raises his sword high, preparing to strike, a voice from the crowd shouts, "WAIT!" Suddenly, Luffy looks down and his face lights up with a huge smile. He shouts, "SANJI! ZORO!", "HELP ME OUT HERE!" Buggy swings his sword downward, noticing the approaching pirates, and says, "SO YOU'VE COME, ZORO?", "BUT IT SEEMS YOU'RE TOO LATE...!"
