## One Piece Chapter 338, pages 5-7: COUP DE VENT - Chapter: 338 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Luffy, Paulie, Tilestone, Peeply Lulu, Rob Lucci, Galley-La workers ### Summary Page 5: The battle between Luffy and the Galley-La foremen intensifies. Paulie launches an attack, throwing his thick ropes toward Luffy with a swift 'GRAB!' motion. Luffy quickly dodges backward, exclaiming 'WA!!!' as the ropes narrowly miss him. Paulie then pulls the ropes taut with a sharp 'SQUEEZE!' sound effect, trying to ensnare his target. Luffy leaps high into the air to avoid further entanglement, shouting 'WHOA!!!' as he flips backward gracefully. Paulie retracts his ropes, preparing for another powerful strike, with a 'GI!!!' sound effect indicating the tension in the ropes. Luffy lands safely on the ground a distance away, panting heavily, 'HAA HAA...', realizing the foremen are not holding back. Page 6: Luffy, looking angry and frustrated by the relentless attacks, yells at Paulie, 'I SAID...!! I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO FIGHT YOU!!!' Paulie, still casually smoking his cigar, looks confused by Luffy's reluctance to engage and asks, 'WHAT'S WRONG? WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT BACK?' Suddenly, a large, menacing saw blade is thrown at Luffy, embedding itself deeply into the stone ground right next to him with a loud 'CLANG!' Luffy looks surprised and startled by the sudden projectile. Stepping forward to join the fray are the other Galley-La foremen: Tilestone, holding a massive saw, Peeply Lulu, and Rob Lucci. Tilestone grins menacingly, ready for combat, and says, 'NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT PISTOLS DON'T WORK...' Page 7: Tilestone takes aim with a massive, cannon-like weapon mounted on his shoulder, pointing it directly at Luffy. Luffy looks shocked by the heavy artillery and mutters, 'THEY'RE SO INTENSE ABOUT THIS!! DAMN.' Tilestone fires the weapon, causing a massive, devastating explosion that completely engulfs the area where Luffy was standing. A loud scream of 'WAAAAH!!!' is heard from the blast zone. As the thick smoke begins to clear, Rob Lucci watches silently, his expression unreadable. Paulie observes the aftermath and notes calmly, '..... NAH, HE GOT AWAY.' The crowd of Galley-La workers, believing Luffy was hit, cheers enthusiastically, shouting, 'BULLS-EYE!!!' and 'WOW!!!' Someone in the crowd remarks, 'THAT WAS CLOSE!'
