## One Piece Chapter 656, pages 7-9: Adventure on the Burning Island - Chapter: 656 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Dragon, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nico Robin, Usopp ### Summary Page 7: Zoro's sword strike bites into the dragon and the beast howls, "Ngwoooohhhhh!!!" Zoro grits his teeth at the resistance and says, "Ugh...!!! What's up with its strength and its toughness?!" The dragon crashes forward again, roaring, "Rgggghh, ghhhhh!!!" Luffy, furious now, shouts from the side, "...Nnnn ghhh!!! You're going down for that!!!" He rushes back toward the beast as the ruins splinter around them. The page keeps the physical facts very clear: Zoro can hurt the creature, but even his cut does not simply end the fight. The dragon remains mobile, loud, and powerful enough to keep both Luffy and Zoro struggling. Page 8: The battle suddenly becomes stranger. Luffy hears the voice again and calls, "It talked!!! See?! I told you!!" He also shouts, "Luffy!!" as the action scatters across the burning ground. Usopp and Robin listen from the smoke; Usopp admits, "I heard it talk too ...but how?!" Robin remains silent, watching. The unseen speaker then reveals the target of its suspicion: "Pfft!! Are you friends of the Shichibukai?!" At the same time the dragon roars, "Ggrr rrhah hhh!!!" and its movement sends Luffy flying with "Whoaa aahhh hhh!!!" The page is important because the voice says something specific and political. It is not the mindless dragon asking; someone connected to the dragon's body is accusing them of ties to the Shichibukai. Page 9: Robin lands near the hot wall of flame and gasps, "Aaaaghhhh!! So hot!! And it talked again too!!!" She thinks through the clue: "It mentioned the Shichibukai... Does it have some kind of grudge against them...?" Nearby, Zoro wants to take the fight over: "Luffy!! Let me handle this thing!! I'll slice it to pieces!!!" Luffy answers from the attack line, "I'll smack it down to you!!" and Zoro agrees, "All right then!!" The dragon begins another fiery motion, and Luffy shifts into the plan: "In that case..." Usopp panics with "Owo wowowow ...!!" The page organizes the chaos into teamwork. Robin is gathering meaning from the voice, while Luffy and Zoro turn the dragon's body into a target they can coordinate against.
