## One Piece Chapter 169, pages 4-6: The Kingdom's Strongest Warrior - Chapter: 169 - Pages: 4-6 - Characters: Smoker, Miss All Sunday, Ultraking, security guards, Luffy, Usopp, Nami, Zoro, casino workers ### Summary Page 4: Three large, imposing security guards in suits block the hallway. One of them commands, 'Hold it right there!' while another adds, 'We're gonna have to ask you to step outside...' Suddenly, Smoker bursts through them at full speed, sending the massive guards flying with a loud 'CLANG!' Smoker doesn't even slow down, casually wondering, 'Huh? Did I just run over something?' Nearby, Miss All Sunday appears and speaks to the casino manager. 'Crocodile's orders,' she says. The manager looks surprised and asks, 'Pardon?' Miss All Sunday instructs him, 'Invite them into the V.I.P. room.' The manager stammers, 'Manager! Some strangers are-' Page 5: Casino workers stand by a grand set of double doors marked 'V.I.P', gesturing welcomingly. 'Welcome, sirs!' they say, 'Please come this way to the V.I.P. room!' Usopp spots the open doors and points, 'Hey, look over there!' Zoro smirks around his swords, deducing, 'V.I.P. room!? So there is some sort of connection between Crocodile and them...' Luffy looks determined and shouts, 'ALRIGHT! LET'S GO!' Smoker, still in pursuit, narrows his eyes and thinks, 'A man who gets down right to business, eh?' Nami smiles confidently, 'Is that a challenge for us to "bring it on!?"' The four pirates sprint toward the V.I.P. room, with Smoker running right behind them. Luffy asks, 'By the way, what the heck's a VIP?' Smoker, chasing them, thinks, 'Great! This might be a chance to send all these pirates to the gallows!' Page 6: A massive metal cage slams shut with a resounding 'CLANG!!' Through the thick, grid-like bars of the cage, the faces of Nami, Usopp, Luffy, and Zoro are visible, looking out in shock. A wider view of the room reveals the full situation: the four pirates are trapped inside a large, sturdy cell within the V.I.P. room. Outside the cage, Captain Smoker stands with his back to the viewer, looking at the trapped pirates. Zoro sits on a bench inside the cage, while Luffy, Usopp, and Nami stand near the bars.
