## One Piece Chapter 8.3, pages 17-19: Nami Enters - Chapter: 8.3 - Pages: 17-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Buggy Pirates ### Summary Page 17: The dust clears to reveal Luffy standing in the crater, casually dusting himself off. He exhales, "WHEW-WWWW!!!" and says, "FINALLY LANDED!" Nami sits on the ground nearby, staring at him in disbelief. Three of the pirates are knocked back by the impact, and one exclaims, "WHAT THE! HE'S STILL ALIVE!" Nami looks at Luffy, and an idea suddenly strikes her. She clasps her hands together, puts on a bright, innocent smile, and says to Luffy, "OH 'BOSS'! YOU'RE FINALLY HERE... I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME!" Before Luffy can react, Nami takes off running again, yelling over her shoulder, "I'LL LEAVE EVERYTHING TO YOU!" One of the pirates notices and shouts, "AH! SHE RAN OFF AGAIN!" Another pirate says, "WE DON'T HAVE TO CHASE THAT GIRL ANYMORE". The three pirates draw their swords and surround the confused Luffy. One says, "HER 'BOSS' IS STILL HERE!" Another agrees, "THAT'S TRUE! THEY'RE TOGETHER ANYWAYS!" Luffy stands there with a question mark floating next to his head, completely oblivious to the situation. Page 18: A pirate with a stitched face swings his sword at Luffy, yelling, "AM I RIGHT? BOSS!" Another pirate shouts, "THAT MAP WAS CAPTAIN BUGGY'S TREASURE!!" Luffy leans back sharply to dodge the blade, exclaiming "AH!" as his straw hat is knocked off his head and flies into the air. Luffy immediately counters, delivering a devastating punch directly into the stitched-face pirate's face. The impact violently squishes the pirate's features with a massive red sound effect. The sheer force of the blow sends the other two pirates flying backward, one crying out "AHH!?!" as they crash to the ground in a cloud of dust. Luffy catches his falling straw hat with a soft "PASA..." sound. He glares forward with a fierce, serious expression, warning, "DON'T YOU DARE... MESS UP MY HAT!!" Page 19: The two remaining pirates flee in terror, sweating profusely as they run away. They yell back over their shoulders, "YOU..." and "DAMN YOU!" Nami sits casually on the edge of a nearby building's roof, looking down at the street. Luffy stands below, surrounded by the unconscious bodies of the pirates he just defeated. Nami calls out to him, "WOW! YOU'RE REALLY STRONG! YOU BEAT THOSE GUYS WITH SWORDS BARE-HANDED!" Luffy looks up at her, confused, and asks, "AH? WHO ARE YOU ANYWAYS?" A close-up shows Nami smiling brightly and confidently. She introduces herself, saying, "I AM A THIEF WHO ONLY STEALS TREASURE FROM PIRATES! MY NAME IS NAMI WANT TO BE PARTNERS?" A close-up of Luffy shows him looking slightly surprised as he repeats her words, "ONLY STEAL TREASURE FROM PIRATES?"
