## One Piece Chapter 21, pages 7-9: VILLAGE - Chapter: 21 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Boodle, villagers, Chouchou ### Summary Page 7: Luffy suddenly takes off running, carrying Zoro over his shoulder. Nami runs ahead of him, clutching her large sack of treasure. Luffy yells, "LET'S RUN AWAY!". In the background, the angry villagers give chase, shouting, "AAH! THEY'RE RUNNING AWAY!!" and "CHASE THEM!!". Nami cries out, "YIPES!!", as they flee with a "DADA" running sound effect. In the next panel, the villagers pursue them relentlessly with their weapons drawn, yelling, "WE WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY!!" and "WE'LL PAY YOU BACK FOR WHAT YOU DID TO THE CHIEF!!". A small panel shows a close-up of the unconscious Chief Boodle's face, his eyes closed and a stern expression on his features. In the bottom panel, Nami looks back over her shoulder as she runs, angrily asking Luffy, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU MAKE THE SITUATION MORE COMPLICATED?". Luffy, smiling broadly as he runs with Zoro, cheerfully replies, "THIS IS A GOOD VILLAGE!!". Nami looks completely bewildered, responding, "WHA..?". Page 8: The page begins with a close-up of Boodle, the town chief, looking serious in profile. A voice notes, "THEY'RE ALL GETTING THAT MAD! FOR THEIR CHIEF, FOR JUST ONE PERSON...". Next to this, Luffy is shown smiling as he runs. Behind them, the angry villagers charge forward with swords and spears raised, shouting with a roaring "OOOO" sound effect. In the middle row, a villager points down a narrow street, yelling, "THEY'RE RUNNING AWAY THROUGH AN ALLEY!". Luffy and Nami sprint down the alleyway with a "DADA" running sound effect. Luffy carries the unconscious Zoro over his shoulder, still grinning, while Nami clutches her large sack of treasure. Nami looks back nervously, thinking, "NO MATTER WHAT EXCUSE WE GIVE, THEY'LL STILL BE MAD AT US!!". In the bottom panels, the pursuing villagers suddenly skid to a halt with a loud "KIKI" sound effect, one of them crying out, "OOH!". Blocking their path is the small white dog, Chouchou, his head wrapped in bandages. He glares fiercely at the villagers and barks a loud "WOOF!!!". Page 9: The villagers stand halted in the alleyway, frustrated by the small dog blocking their path. One villager yells, "THOSE GUYS ARE BAD PIRATES!!" while another pleads, "HEY, SHUSHU! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, QUICKLY!!". Chouchou responds with a defiant "WOOF!! WOOF!!". Further down the alley, Luffy looks back over his shoulder in surprise, exclaiming, "AAH, THAT DOG!". Nami also looks back, recognizing him: "SHUSHU!". A wider view of the alley shows Chouchou standing firmly between the fleeing pirates and the angry mob. The villagers shout, "WHY ARE YOU STOPPING US? SHUSHU!!", but the dog just barks back, "WOOF WOOF!!". A close-up shows Chouchou growling menacingly, "GRRRRR...!", his bandaged face set in determination. Luffy smiles warmly as he watches the dog defend them. Chouchou continues to bark aggressively, "WOOF!!! WOOF!!!", prompting an enraged villager with a prominent chin to scream, "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY NOW!! SHUSHU!!".
