## One Piece Chapter 524, pages 9-10: Nobody Can Stop This Anymore - Chapter: 524 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Perona, Bartholomew Kuma, Gecko Moria, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 9: On the Grand Line, Kuraigana Island, the ruins of the Shikkearu Kingdom rise under curling, sinister shadows. Perona sits on the steps before a dark castle and complains that she wanted to go somewhere dark and damp near an old castle, swirling with malice, and that she would like to pass the days singing cursed songs. She admits that if she were to take a trip, this is what she would have wanted, but she is still furious because Kuma never told her she would not have any servants, a fluffy bed, bagels, sandwiches, and warm cocoa. She yells that Kuma also never said she would not have cute stuffed animals. When a figure crashes nearby, she wonders where she is and cries that she wants to go back to Thriller Bark and Lord Moria. Page 10: Perona sees something else flying toward Kuraigana Island and says, "I knew it!! I knew someone else would come flying here!!" A body smashes into the ground with a long "SUUIII..." and a heavy impact, and Perona reacts with a startled "Geh..." When the dust clears, the injured person is Zoro, bloodied and unconscious on the ground. Perona recognizes him with horror: "H... he's... one of the Straw Hats!!!" The page links her own forced relocation by Kuma with the Straw Hats' scattering and confirms that Zoro landed on the same ruined island. Perona's panic also shows how threatening the Straw Hats still seem to her, even with Zoro beaten nearly to death and unable to move.
