## One Piece Chapter 202, pages 4-5: The Royal Crypt - Chapter: 202 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, Crocodile ### Summary Page 4: Luffy suddenly sits up, his body completely rehydrated and back to normal. He yells with wide eyes and a huge open mouth, "GASP! I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE FOR A SECOND THERE!" He looks up at the high palace balcony where he was dropped. "He's gone..." "Dammit!" Luffy sits cross-legged on the ground, panting heavily as he recovers from his near-death experience. His expression hardens into one of fierce determination. "I'M NOT GONNA LET HIM GET AWAY!" He jumps to his feet and turns to run. "But I saw him flying that way!" he says, sprinting off in pursuit of Crocodile. Page 5: A wide view shows the grand, ancient entrance to a temple. A text box reads: "West of the Palace: Royal Crypt". Inside, Nico Robin and Crocodile descend a long, dark stone staircase. Robin says, "The criminal world is far bigger than you might think. Even if you are the king of one alliance state in the World Government, Most aren't even aware of its existence." She glances back at him. "You're not the only one aware of such secrets." Crocodile follows her down the hidden staircase. Robin continues, "The poneglyph is housed deep down in an underground chamber." She looks over her shoulder with a knowing smile. "And why he cannot kill me... Yes... That is why Crocodile partnered up with me," Crocodile glares at her, asking pointedly, "Can you... Read the poneglyphs?"
