Luffy, Kuro, Black Cat Pirates, Jango, Usopp, Kaya ### Summary Page 15: Back at the slope, Kuro is shocked by Luffy's words. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!" he demands, then snarls, "DAMN!! LET ME GO!!!" as Luffy keeps hold of him. Luffy replies, "NOW YOUR THREE YEAR PLAN WILL FAIL". The Black Cat Pirates watch in disbelief. "HE'S... HE'S GOT CAPTAIN KURO!" one says. Another realizes, "WAIT A MINUTE... IF HE WINS, THEN WE WON'T BE KILLED...!!". They start cheering for Luffy, "THAT'S GREAT, RUBBER MAN!!", "KILL CAPTAIN KURO...!!". Furious, Kuro yells "HEAH!" and violently kicks Luffy away, causing Luffy to grunt "GUH!". Page 16: Kuro turns his rage towards his own crew. "I DON'T NEED YOUR CHEERS! I'M GONNA BEAT YOU ALL UP TOO, SO BE READY!". The crew recoils in terror, screaming "GYAAAA-AAAHH!!!". Kuro looks back at Luffy, muttering, "HOW CAN IT BE... MY PLAN...". Luffy stands ready, stretching both his arms far back behind him, preparing an attack. "GOMU GOMU..." Luffy chants. Kuro's face contorts into a mask of pure fury and desperation as he screams, "MY PLAN... CANNOT FAIL!!". Page 17: In the forest, Jango looks up in sheer terror as Usopp's projectile flies straight at him. Usopp's voice rings out, "SPECIAL TECHNIQUE 'KAYAKU-BOSHI'!! (GUNPOWDER STAR)". The projectile strikes Jango directly in the face, resulting in a massive, fiery explosion. A loud "KABOOM!!" echoes through the trees as Jango is engulfed in the blast, screaming in agony, "BUUAA-AAAAHH!!!!".
