## One Piece Chapter 205, pages 2-3: Sand Sand Gang's Secret Base - Chapter: 205 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Usopp, Vivi, Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Karoo, Tony Tony Chopper, Koza ### Summary Page 2: The frantic rush continues across the top panels. Usopp, looking panicked and sweating heavily as he runs, yells, "Praying won't help us in this situation!" Next to him, Vivi, also running hard with a determined but strained expression, agrees, "...Right!" On the right, Sanji and Zoro push forward. Sanji, looking serious, states, "This much bloodshed's insignificant to what'll happen if we fail to stop the explosion!" Zoro, running beside him, barks, "Don't look at them, you idiot!" In the middle section, the group is seen from a distance, sprinting across the plaza. Voices call out, "RIGHT!" and "We need everyone for this last job!" A shot of a large clock tower is shown as the countdown continues. Voices urgently note, "Right!", "No, only a minute and a half left now!", and "In just 2 minutes, we'll either have won or be dead!" In the large bottom panel, Vivi is seen riding the large duck Karoo, leading the charge. Nami runs alongside them, looking ahead with wide eyes. Someone shouts, "They're here!" followed by "VIVI! USOPP!" and a surprised "Ah!" The roar of the crowd "WAAAAAA" and the rumbling "DODODODO!!" of their approach fill the scene. Page 3: In the top left panel, Vivi looks urgent and explains, "No, but I'm sure I know where it is! Considering this planned-dust storm,". In the adjacent panels, Usopp asks, "Is the cannon here!?" while Nami and Chopper run, with voices calling out, "What's going on!? The marines helped us get here!" and "Nami! Tony!". In the middle row, Vivi continues her realization, her face tense: "It's been staring me in the face all along but it took me forever to realize it! It was in our blind spot! There's no other place it could be at!" A flashback panel shows a group of children, the Sand Sand Gang, standing in front of a large building. A young voice excitedly declares, "CHECK IT OUT! THIS PLACE IS PRETTY BIG, RIGHT!? HOW ABOUT WE MAKE THIS OUR SECRET BASE FROM NOW!?" Back in the present, Chopper and Nami listen intently as the deduction continues: "It also has to be big enough to house the cannon but not be visible from the sky!" and "The place has to be close enough where it's impossible to miss...!" The bottom panel reveals a massive, imposing clock tower looming over the city square. A large speech bubble dramatically announces, "IT'S INSIDE THE CLOCK TOWER!" accompanied by a shocked "WHA?" and a booming "DON" sound effect, while the background noise of the battle "WAAAAAA" continues.
