## One Piece Chapter 197, pages 9-11: The Leaders - Chapter: 197 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Vivi, Crocodile, Kouza, Royal Guards, Rebels, Chaka ### Summary Page 9: Vivi continues her impassioned speech to Kouza, "The proper course of action is still the same thing you should have done from the start! This whole fabricated rebellion must be stopped!" Crocodile smirks, amused by her resolve, "Ohh, An excellent judgment, princess...!" Kouza looks at Vivi, questioning his own actions, "Am I wrong!?" A massive, chaotic battle is shown raging outside the palace, with thousands of soldiers and rebels clashing violently amidst clouds of dust. The roar of the crowd fills the air with "WAAAAA" and "DODODO" sound effects. Vivi tells Kouza firmly, "And that's something only you can do!" urging him to take responsibility and end the fighting. Page 10: Crocodile looms menacingly behind Vivi and Kouza, raising his golden hook high into the air. "AND DO YOU REALLY THINK, THAT I'LL JUST STAND BY AND LET YOU DO THAT...?" Vivi and Kouza look back over their shoulders in shock as the Warlord prepares to strike them down. Suddenly, Chaka intercepts the attack. In his human-jackal hybrid form, Chaka blocks Crocodile's hook with his large sword, sparks flying from the clash. He yells his own name, "CHAKA!", as he steps in to protect the princess and the rebel leader, proving he is not yet defeated. Page 11: A large stone statue of a jackal is shown outside the palace. Chaka declares proudly, "I am this country's guardian deity... The jackal! The one that destroys, The enemies of the royal family...!" Crocodile looks unimpressed, his cigar clamped in his teeth. "Is exactly what stupidity is." Chaka, panting heavily in his hybrid form, retorts, "...And that, Then I will use it to fight! As long as I have even one breath left in me," Chaka stands firmly between Crocodile and the others, instructing them urgently, "Princess! Kouza! Run now and do what you must! I still have enough strength to hold him off for a little while...!"
