## One Piece Chapter 223, pages 3-4: I solemnly swear not to fight in this town - Chapter: 223 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Doc Q, Stronger ### Summary Page 3: Nami glares intensely at Luffy, making him promise to behave in the dangerous town. Luffy, looking unusually serious, repeats her words, '"I solemnly swear," "Not to fight in this town."' Nami warns him sternly, "The moment you start trouble in this town, we won't be able to stay here any longer! That means we can't go to the sky either!" Luffy and Zoro, walking behind her, give uninterested, dismissive replies of "Uh huh" and "Yeah, yeah." Nami yells at them for their lack of enthusiasm, "What's with that uninterested reply!?" but concludes, "That's a promise, you two!" Luffy replies cheerfully, "Good!" As they walk through the busy streets, a loud "UGHH..." is heard. A pale, sickly-looking man with long hair, a black hat, and a thick fur coat is seen coughing violently. Blood sprays from his mouth as he slumps over the neck of his equally sickly-looking white horse. Page 4: The sickly man, Doc Q, falls completely off his horse, landing face-first on the wooden boardwalk with a loud thud. Bystanders notice the commotion, commenting, "Look, he fell off his horse," and "Yeah, he's coughing up blood." Doc Q continues to cough weakly on the ground. He looks up at Luffy and Zoro, who are standing nearby, and asks in a frail voice, "Could you help me get back up...? You two... I'm sorry but..." They help him back onto his horse. Doc Q pants heavily and says, "Sorry for the trouble... Whew... Finally back on my horse..." Zoro, looking skeptical, remarks, "You just don't want to stand up on your own, don't you?" Doc Q explains, "My body's been fragile ever since I was born..." He then tells his horse, "Let's go, Stronger." Suddenly, the horse, Stronger, coughs up blood as well and collapses to the ground, prompting Luffy and Zoro to yell in shock, "THE HORSE IS SICK TOO!?"
