## One Piece Chapter 617, pages 12-13: Major Incident on Coral Hill - Chapter: 617 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Hody Jones, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Hatchan, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 12: Zoro and Hody face each other underwater in the flooded palace. Hody, grinning, says, "I hope you're not planning... to get in the way of my coup d'etat..." Zoro's expression remains cold, swords ready despite the water. The confrontation is quiet compared with the chaos around them, but it is the chapter's center of force: Hody has the home-field advantage and a palace full of soldiers as leverage, while Zoro is choosing to become the obstacle anyway. The page leaves the two fighters suspended in water, Hody's shark teeth bared and Zoro's blades drawn, as if the whole palace has narrowed to the question of whether a human swordsman can hold back the rebellion's leader below the sea.

A voice shouts, "Don't play dumb, you filthy pirates!!" and another says, "I hear another two young mermaids... have vanished from the southern shore!! What have you done with them?!!" Sanji, standing over the wounded Hachi, pushes back hard: "For the love of... how would I know what happened to them?!! I mean, sure, I love mermaids so much that I'd love to abduct them, but that doesn't mean I'm the kidnapper!!!" Chopper asks Hachi, "Hang in there, Hachi! You're gonna be all right!" while the crowd remains suspicious. Then a huge black shape approaches overhead, and someone cries, "Huh?! Sanji!! Chopper!!" The crowd points upward: "It's Luffyyyyy!!!" and another asks, "What's that puffer-fish he's riding...?"
