## One Piece Chapter 471, pages 20-21: My Friend - Chapter: 471 - Pages: 20-21 - Characters: Nami, Absalom, Inuppe, Sanji, Lola ### Summary Page 20: The aftermath settles over the ceremonial hall. Nami looks at Absalom's collapsed body and asks herself, "...?" Then she explains what she has learned: "It didn't work at all when we fought at the bridge..." and wonders, "Why?" Nearby, Sanji's zombie counterpart Inuppe understands the reason: "I knew it... he was already past his limits after his fight with that man... That makes sense..." Nami decides not to overthink it. Raising the Clima-Tact, she announces, "Well, whatever!! I won!!" and guesses, "I must have hit a weak spot or something!!" It is a practical, comic victory, but it also matters: Absalom's obsession ends here because Nami stands up, fights for Lola, and claims the win. Page 21: Nami immediately returns to Lola. She kneels by the wounded zombie and calls, "Lola!! Are you okay? Get a grip!!" Then she says, "Thank you for coming to help me!!" Lola, still breathing hard, answers, "Haa... What are you saying, Namizou...? We're friends." Nami confesses the truth at last: "But I... I was scared, and I lied to you!! I'm really sorry!! I'm a woman!!" Lola smiles through the damage and replies, "You fool. I knew all along." Nami says her name, "Lola." The friendship does not break. Lola's real concern is still romance: "More importantly!! My dear Ab can't resist now, right!? You're going to be a groom, Absalom!!!" The page turns the chapter title into the emotional punchline: Lola knew, forgave, and helped anyway.
