## One Piece Chapter 661, pages 3-5: The Lake of Bandits - Chapter: 661 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nico Robin, Usopp, Boss ### Summary Page 3: The plan works for a moment. Luffy, Robin, Zoro, and Usopp flounder in the freezing lake, coughing and shouting. Luffy cries, "Aaaaaghhhhh!! It's freezing!!! A few minutes in this water and I'll be frozen alive!!!" Robin gasps, "Blue hhhhhhh hh...!!" and Zoro groans, "Urgh hhhhhhhh hh...!!!" Usopp realizes what happened: "A barrage of projectiles while we were halfway across the lake... I didn't see that one coming...!! You c-c-could've attacked them back, Luffy!! We had p-p-plenty of t-t-time!!" Luffy answers that if Usopp had not kept talking about making friends, he would have done it. Usopp shivers, "I'm sorry... I won't try to make friends wid dem anymore..." Then the enemy takes aim again, and Luffy says, "Oi, Usopp, you hold these two for a minute. I'm going to slice those weirdos apart...!!" Usopp protests that he cannot hold them much longer. Page 4: Zoro is suddenly pulled underwater. Luffy shouts, "Oi!! What's wrong, Zoro?!" and Zoro answers, "Under the water...!!" Something erupts from beneath the lake, and Usopp screams, "Sharks?! In a lake?!" Boss laughs at them: "Wohoho hohohoha! Ignorant fools! Strictly speaking, this is part of the ocean." Beneath the surface, shark-like creatures circle and strike. The surprise matters because the lake is not normal freshwater. It is ocean water trapped inside the crater of Punk Hazard, which means the Devil Fruit users are even more helpless and the predators inside the lake can still be sea creatures. Page 5: Boss explains the lake's origin with cruel delight. The battle between Akainu and Aokiji created a massive hole like a bomb crater, and "ocean water flooded in to fill it through the giant cracks in the island on either side!!!" He concludes, "So of course it would be home to ocean creatures!! Wohohoh!!" In the freezing water, the crew is in worse trouble. Usopp cries, "Zoro got eaten by the sharks!!!" and another voice yells, "Those sharks are too scary!!" The centaurs taunt them: "Take your time and aim carefully!! They're sitting ducks now!! Blow them to pieces!!!" Usopp says, "Oh, we're doomed on so many levels!!" and Luffy screams, "Fire!!!" The page turns the lake into a death trap: freezing water, sea predators, and ranged fire from shore all at once.
