## One Piece Chapter 661, pages 8-10: The Lake of Bandits - Chapter: 661 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Brook, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nico Robin, Usopp, Boss ### Summary Page 8: Brook strikes through the centaurs while declaring, "But it is you who must pay!!! I will not stand to lose my crewmates a second time!!!" He cuts into the attackers, who cry, "Whoo aarg ah!!!" Meanwhile, the lake group survives. Someone says, "He's fast!! This guy can really fight!!" Luffy notices another fact: "The sharks are out cold! Where did the other guys go?!" Brook explains cheerfully, "Yohoho... Mere coincidence, I assure you. I just happened to be running this way... but it is good to see you are all right!!" Luffy, still in the water, says, "I gotta say, that was pretty nice timing, Brook!!" The page makes Brook's rescue personal. He does not just stumble in; he acts with the pain of once having lost a crew and refuses to let the Straw Hats be lost too. Page 9: The centaurs regroup and curse the Straw Hats: "You've got some nerve, you half-beast ingrates!!! But if you think we're so weak we'd get done in by a few sharks, you've got another thing coming!!!" Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Usopp drag themselves out of the freezing water, blackened with cold and shivering. Luffy says, "I'm freezing up!!!" Usopp stammers, "Freeeeeeezing!!!" and adds, "I tol' you guys I was crazy comin' to dese freezin' moun'ains dress'p lik' dis!!" Robin quietly says, "But look... it seems we're in luck..." The group has survived, but they are soaked, half-frozen, and surrounded by hostile centaurs in a climate for which they are completely unprepared. Page 10: The centaurs recognize the freezing Straw Hats and start discussing them. One says, "We should be thankful for our meeting with these people..." Another warns, "Boss!! They're getting awful close!!" The centaur leader says, "I know... but hold on a second. I think I recognise these people from somewhere!!" He decides, "I'll take the fourth from the right... I like the look of the one next to him..." Luffy, Robin, and the others stare at the warm coats and gear. Then they shout together, "Those clothes look nice and warm!!!" The centaurs panic. One cries, "G-good luck, guys!! Ge' some clothes for me, too!!" Another recognizes Luffy: "That's one of the rookies from the terrible generation of two years ago!! I knew I recognised them... I remember that hat...!! It's Fire Fist's younger brother!!! The 400 million bounty pirate, Straw Hat Luffy!!!" Others scream that common thieves are after their coats. The page turns the fight into a clothing raid born from survival.
