## One Piece Chapter 1, pages 10-12: Romance Dawn - Chapter: 1 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Shanks, Lucky Roux, Yasopp, Red Hair Pirates ### Summary Page 10: The scene shifts to the village, showing a building with a sign that reads "PARTYS BAR". Voices from inside shout, "A TOAST!!", "TO LUFFY'S...", "COURAGE...", "AND TO OUR GREAT VOYAGE!" Inside the tavern, the pirate crew is having a rowdy party. They are drinking, laughing, and fighting. One pirate cheers, "HAR HAR HAR HAR! DRINK UP!" Another demands, "GROG! GROG! GROG! MORE GROG!" Two pirates argue over food: "HEY THAT'S MY MEAT!!" and "NOT ANY MORE! I'M GONNA EAT IT!" Another tries to calm them down: "HEY, STOP FIGHTING! YOU'LL SPOIL OUR FUN!" In the bottom panel, Luffy sits at the bar counter, now sporting a bandage under his left eye. He smiles broadly and says, "IT DIDN'T HURT A BIT!" Shanks, sitting next to him, scolds him with a sharp-toothed, angry expression: "LIAR! THAT WAS A FOOLISH THING TO DO!" Luffy, undeterred, leans forward enthusiastically and declares, "I'M NOT THE LEAST BIT AFRAID OF GETTING HURT!! TAKE ME WITH YOU ON YOUR NEXT VOYAGE!! I WANNA BE A PIRATE TOO!!!" Page 11: Shanks bursts into loud laughter, his face filling the top panel as he mocks Luffy: "HAHAHAHAHAHA", "YOU?! A PIRATE?! IMPOSSIBLE!!" In the middle panel, Shanks sits casually at the bar, holding a fork and a glass. A caption box identifies him: "PIRATE CAPTAIN 'RED-HAIRED' SHANKS". He explains, "LUFFY, DO YOU KNOW WHY WE CALL YOU 'ANCHOR'? BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SWIM-- YOU JUST SINK!! WHAT GOOD IS A PIRATE WHO CAN'T SWIM?" In the bottom panels, Luffy stands up, looking frustrated and determined. He argues back, "BUT IF I DON'T FALL OVERBOARD, THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M AN ANCHOR!! AND I'M A STRONG FIGHTER!" He throws a punch to demonstrate, adding, "I'VE BEEN TRAINING! MY PUNCH IS AS POWERFUL AS A PISTOL!" Page 12: Luffy angrily yells at Shanks, "ARE YOU DOUBTING ME?!" Shanks, resting his head on his hand, calmly replies, "IS THAT SO... A PISTOL, EH?" The rest of the Red Hair Pirates are shown having a rowdy party, laughing and drinking. They try to cheer Luffy up, shouting, "CALM DOWN, LUFFY!", "LET'S JUST HAVE A GOOD TIME!", and "YEAH! PIRATES ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME!" They boast about their lifestyle, adding, "THE SEA IS VAST AND THERE'S LOTS OF ISLANDS TO EXPLORE!" and "AND BEST OF ALL, PIRATES HAVE FREEDOM!!" Luffy's eyes widen with excitement as he exclaims, "WOW!" Shanks tells his crew, "YOU GUYS STOP FILLING HIS HEAD WITH CRAZY IDEAS." However, Lucky Roux, holding a large piece of meat on a bone, insists, "BUT IT'S TRUE! RIGHT!?"
