## One Piece Chapter 357: Cutty Flam - Chapter: 357 - Pages: 0-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Tom, Franky, Iceburg, Spandam, Jorge, Kokoro, Yokozuna, Gol D. Roger ### Summary Page 0: A color promotional page for the Water 7 section shows the Straw Hat Pirates posed together with the words "MUGIWARA PIRATES VENTURE TO WATER 7." Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin appear in a staged group illustration with a giraffe-patterned backdrop and blue curtains. This page does not continue the trial flashback or add dialogue to chapter 357, but it is relevant as arc branding and confirms the Water 7 setting around the chapter. Page 1: The plaza is still shaken by Tom's outburst. Citizens scatter and shout, "GET OUT OF THE HARBOR---!" while another voice cries, "TOM'S GONE BERSERK---!" Tom stands wounded and massive in the center of the square, surrounded by guards, townspeople, Franky, Iceburg, Spandam, and the judge. The silence between their faces is heavy: Franky is horrified, Iceburg is grim, Spandam watches for advantage, and the judge listens. Tom finally speaks with deliberate calm, not as a man denying what happened, but as one choosing where the blame should fall: "I WAS FRAMED BY THE WORLD GOVERNMENT, I WILL BE JUDGED BY THE WORLD GOVERNMENT." Then he accepts the consequence in his own words: "THIS DOUBT CAN'T BE DISPELLED ..... THIS IS THE END ...!!" Page 2: Tom's decision horrifies Franky. Franky pleads, "DON'T YOU WANT TO PUNCH HIM, FRANKY?!" while Tom answers the deeper wound rather than the provocation. His ships, his apprentices, and his reputation have all been "USED FOR SUCH A THING..." because of the government's trap, and the accusation hangs over his "untainted ships." But Tom does not turn his fury on Franky. Instead, he turns on the people trying to use Franky's pain as a weapon, striking with brutal force. The blow sends a guard flying with "HOGYAAA!!!" and the square erupts again. Someone screams, "TOM'S STARTING TO GET VIOLENT!!!" while another cries, "WAAAAAAA!!" The violence is not random madness; Tom is refusing to let Franky carry the whole shame alone while Spandam's lie turns their craft into evidence. Page 3: Franky, Iceburg, Kokoro, and Yokozuna watch Tom fight back. Franky screams, "TOM-SAN!!!" Iceburg shouts, "STOP IT, TOM-SAN!!! IF YOU REALLY GET INTO THIS --" Yokozuna cries, "GERO!!" and Kokoro can only ask, "WHAT IS..." Tom's answer cuts through the panic: "DO YOU UNDERSTAND HIS PAIN!!?" He is talking about Franky, the boy whose creations have been twisted into proof of a crime. Tom grabs and throws another man, yelling, "YOU!!!" and the guards respond with force. A command rings out: "FIRE--!!!" Rifles and cannons blast toward him. The page holds the contradiction of the scene: Tom is being treated as the attacker, but his rage comes from watching the World Government crush the child he raised as an apprentice. Page 4: The armed response escalates. Bullets and cannon fire hammer Tom's body while Franky screams, "TOM-SAN---!!!" The authorities fire a "TRANQUIL-IZER PELETE---!!!" and Tom is finally brought down under the eyes of the whole plaza. The sound of impact and smoke fills the square, and the people around him stare at what has been done. Franky rushes to him and asks, "TOM-SAN!!! WHAT IS THIS--" Spandam, delighted by the spectacle, laughs, "WAHAHAHAHA!!" and mocks him: "HA---!! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, YOU STUPID MERMAN!!" Tom, Franky, and the townspeople are all forced to watch the trap complete itself. The government has not simply caught Tom; it has made his resistance look like further proof of guilt. Page 5: Spandam seizes control of the public narrative. He orders, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MEN?! CAPTURE HIM, QUICKLY!!!" and then, "TAKE ALL OF THESE FELONIOUS WORKERS OF TOM TO ENIES LOBBY!!!" The crowd turns on Tom almost immediately. "...THAT TOM IS SUCH A DANGEROUS GUY!" one person says. Another asks, "WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?!" Others decide his past must have been a lie: "JUST AS I THOUGHT, HE SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE PIRATES!!" and "BUILDING THOSE SHIPS!! HE WAS JUST WAITING FOR THIS CHANCE!!" Franky cannot endure it and shouts back, "YOU ASSHOLES...!! YOU SAY THAT AGAIN TO TOM-SAN'S FACE...!!" But Tom stops him gently: "KNOCK IT OFF... IT'S ALRIGHT, FRANKY..." Then he turns to the judge: "YOUR HONOR ..." The judge answers, "HM?" Page 6: Tom makes his request plainly. He says, "I'LL CONFESS TO ATTACKING ... THE SHIHOUSEN!!!" Franky reacts in shock: "EH!!?" and tries to stop him, "WHA--?!!! STOP IT, TOM-SAN!!!" But Tom silences CP5 first: "BE QUIET, CP5!!!" When they call him a fool, he answers their contempt: "IGNORE THAT!! FOOLISH MERMAN!! WHO LISTENS TO REQUESTS FROM A CRIMINAL." The judge listens anyway, and Tom continues: "...... BUT I HAVE ... ONE REQUEST...!!!" He asks the court to use this new charge instead of the old one: "IF YOU SAY THAT I CAN MAKE ANY ONE CRIME DISAPPEA...
