## One Piece Chapter 138, pages 7-9: Mountaintop - Chapter: 138 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Lapins, Wapol, Chess, Kuromarimo, Luffy, Nami, Sanji ### Summary Page 7: Just as Wapol's men are about to strike, massive shadows fall over them. Several giant, ferocious white rabbits—Lapins—plummet from the sky, landing directly on top of Wapol, Chess, and Kuromarimo. The heavy impacts crush the attackers into the snow with loud thuds. Luffy, completely bewildered by the sudden intervention, stares in shock. "!!!?" he exclaims. The Lapins land heavily around him, "OOF!" "PLOP!" Luffy recognizes the creatures from earlier, realizing, "IT'S THE WHITE BEARS..." The Lapins stand tall, effectively shielding Luffy from Wapol's group. Page 8: Wapol, buried under the snow and a Lapin, is utterly shocked. "THE LAPIN!?" he yells. "WHY WOULD THEY HELP HIM!?" Chess, also recovering from the impact, dismisses the idea. "DON'T BE RIDICULOUS! IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE. A LAPIN NEVER SHOWS MERCY TOWARDS HUMANS." One of the giant Lapins stands protectively, growling menacingly, "GRRR." Taking advantage of the distraction, Luffy resumes his desperate run up the mountain, panting heavily, "HUFF HUFF". He looks back and shouts, "THANKS A BUNCH! YOU REALLY SAVED US!" Wapol, furious, commands his men, "DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!" Chess replies, "YES, YOUR MAJESTY!" as they try to get past the giant rabbits. Page 9: A line of giant Lapins stands firmly in the snow, blocking Wapol, Chess, and Kuromarimo from pursuing Luffy. Wapol yells in frustration, "JUST WHAT THE HELL DO THESE DAMN RABBITS THINK THEY'RE DOING!?" Meanwhile, Luffy continues his grueling trek through the blizzard. The wind howls around him as he trudges forward, carrying Nami and Sanji. "DOC..." he mutters, panting heavily. "PANT PANT... DOCTOR..." He is shivering violently from the extreme cold, his teeth chattering. "SHIVER SHIVER... HUFF... DOCTOR... PANT PANT... DOC... TOR..." He pushes himself to the absolute limit, determined to reach the top of the mountain.
