Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Buggy Pirates, Richie ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays the text "Chapter 16: VERSUS BUGGY'S CREW!" at the top. Below it are three horizontal panels introducing the leaders of Buggy's crew. The top panel is labeled "FIRST MATE" and shows Mohji, a man with furry, animal-like hair and ears, calmly combing his hair. The middle panel is labeled "CAPTAIN" and features Buggy the Clown holding up treasure, including a bottle and a beaded necklace, while surrounded by a scattered pile of coins and valuables. The bottom panel is labeled "SECOND MATE" and shows Cabaji glaring intensely. His face is partially obscured by his long hair, and a sharp glint shines near his eye. Page 1: A massive explosion rocks the town street, sending up a huge cloud of dust and debris with a loud "KRAAAASH...!!". Luffy, Zoro, and Nami stand in the middle of the street, watching the destruction unfold. A defeated pirate lies motionless on the ground near them. In the next panel, wooden planks and building fragments rain down with "KLANK...", "THUD...", and "KRAK..." sounds, burying a pirate wearing striped pants in the rubble. Below, Nami looks at Luffy in disbelief, exclaiming, "WOW. I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT YOU......I MEAN, YOU DID PILE-DRIVE A LION!" She continues to question him, asking, "WHAT KIND OF HUMAN BEING COULD DO THAT?!" and "HOW CAN YOU INFLATE YOURSELF LIKE A BALLOON!?" Luffy stands casually listening to her, while Zoro watches from behind. Page 2: Luffy grins proudly, tapping his chest with a "DA-DA" sound, and answers Nami, "THAT WAS THE GUM-GUM......BALLOON!!" Nami, frustrated by his vague answer, yells, "IDIOT!! BUT HOW DO YOU DO IT!?" Suddenly, a heavy footstep lands with a loud "DA-DOOM" and the clattering sound of "KLAK KLAK KLAK...". An exclamation mark bubble "!" indicates someone's surprise. Nami gasps, "GASP!", and mutters, "UH-OH...", looking worried. Luffy's expression turns serious, and Zoro stands stoically with his arms crossed. From the lingering smoke of the explosion, three figures emerge: two battered pirates and the giant lion, Richie, bearing its sharp teeth. An ominous voice from the smoke says, "YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE..." Page 3: Three close-up panels show the reactions of the trio. Nami looks distressed, sweating as she observes, "HE'S USING HIS MEN AS SHIELDS..." Luffy smirks confidently, ready for a fight, while Zoro glares intensely from under his bandana. The bottom half of the page is a large panel revealing Buggy the Clown standing behind two of his unconscious crew members, holding them up by their collars to block the blast. A large "SHAAOOO" sound effect fills the background. To Buggy's right, Cabaji stands calmly next to the roaring lion, Richie. Cabaji remarks, "CAP'N, THIS IS THE WORST DISGRACE WE'VE SUFFERED SINCE YOU FORMED OUR CREW..." Buggy, trembling with rage and gripping his fallen men, replies, "I'M SO MAD, I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK..." Page 4: The page opens with Mohji, wearing his furry suit, struggling to his feet amidst the rubble of the explosion. He looks disoriented, asking, "UNH... WHERE AM I... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?". Cabaji stands nearby, looking back over his shoulder and saying, "MOHJI... YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?". The sound effect "KLAK KLAK" accompanies the scene. In the next panel, Mohji looks shocked and angry, exclaiming, "CABAJI! WHAT'RE YOU DOING TO RICHIE!?". The scene shifts to Cabaji standing over the fallen lion, Richie, with a "FWUMP" sound. Cabaji asks, "THE KITTY?". Cabaji, seen from behind, calmly explains his actions: "I WAS USING HIM AS A SHIELD. DIDN'T WANT TO SOIL MY RAIMENT." In the bottom right panel, Richie the lion is coughing weakly, "KOFF KOFF". Mohji kneels beside him, asking with concern, "RICHIE!? ARE YOU OKAY!?". A close-up shows Cabaji glaring coldly, accompanied by a "VREEEEN" sound effect. In the final panel, Mohji sweats nervously, swallowing hard with a "GULP!!". He glares at Cabaji and mutters, "WHY YOU...!!". Behind him, Richie is shivering in fear, letting out a weak "GRROWARR!" and "SHIVER SHIVER". Page 5: A wide shot shows Luffy, Zoro, and Nami standing in the street. In the foreground, Mohji points frantically at Luffy and yells a warning to Buggy: "GASP! IT'S THE KID IN THE STRAW HAT!! CAP'N BUGGY, WATCH OUT FOR HIM!! HE'S GOT SPECIAL POWERS FROM EATING THE DEVIL FRUIT-- JUST LIKE YOU!!! HE'S A RUBBER MAN!!!". In the next panel, Luffy playfully stretches his cheeks wide with a "WOING" sound, demonstrating his power. He says, "YEP... SEE? RUBBER MAN!?". Nami stands next to him, looking slightly exasperated. A close-up shows Buggy looking shocked as he realizes, "THE DEVIL FRUIT!!!". Buggy connects the dots, saying, "THAT'S WHY MY BUGGY BALL BOUNCED OFF OF HIM!". In the background, Mohji stands nervously, letting out a "HAH...". Buggy turns his attention to Mohji...
