## One Piece Chapter 473, pages 10-12: Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma Appears - Chapter: 473 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Perona, Nami, Bartholomew Kuma, Wild Zombies, Gecko Moria ### Summary Page 10: Before Perona can enjoy the fight, a massive figure appears behind her. Her servants scream, "Lady Perona, please run away!!!" Nami stares upward, startled, while Perona turns and demands, "Who the hell are you...!?" The zombies shout warnings: "We don't know who he is, but he's an enemy!!" "He just destroyed some of our brothers right in front of us! There's not even a trace of them left!!!" "He's not just anybody!!! He's dangerous!!!" Nami senses the danger too, asking only, "...?" as the shadow looms over the deck. One zombie trembles, "Of course he's not ordinary...!!" The page builds Bartholomew Kuma's threat through absence: the missing zombies prove his power before he explains anything. Page 11: The enormous stranger is identified: "He's one of the Shichibukai!!! The 'Tyrant,' Bartholomew Kuma!!!" Kuma stands with a Bible in his hands, towering over Perona, Nami, and the terrified zombies. Someone says, "Once... he was the cruelest pirate on the seas...!!!" The panic spreads at once: "Whaaa--!?" "No way!" "A 'Shichi-bukai'!?" "How can that be!?" and "A man on the same level as Lord Moria...!?" Nami covers her mouth, thinking, "This can't be...!!" while others scream, "Wh... why did he come to Thriller Bark!?" Kuma's arrival changes the scale of the chapter. The fight over treasure and escape suddenly becomes a confrontation with another Warlord of the Sea. Page 12: Perona tries to distance herself from Moria immediately. Kuma asks, "Are you one of Moria's men?" and she answers, "Lord Moria... No, Gecko Moria and I have no relationship!! I was just... about to flee this island..." Kuma does not attack her. Instead, he asks with unsettling calm, "If you were to go on vacation, where would you like to go?" The zombies panic at the strange politeness: "Whaaa~!? Small talk!?" Perona, still confident in her own style, answers anyway: "Well, a vacation... Somewhere dark... damp... near an old castle, swimming in malice. I'd like to pass the time singing cursed songs." A servant says, "She answered!!! That's Lady Perona, without a doubt." The question feels absurd, but Kuma's stillness makes it ominous.
