## One Piece Chapter 652, pages 9-11: Grim Premonitions - Chapter: 652 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Caribou, Pekoms, Big Mom Pirates ### Summary Page 9: Caribou storms toward the treasure bags, insisting, "That treasure is mine!! I stole it!! And I'm gonna take it back!!!" Pekoms recognizes him from a wanted poster: "He's Wet-Hair Caribou, a rookie who's made a name for himself recently." Another notes, "He's got two hundred million on his head." Caribou laughs, "Kehihihihihi!!" and opens fire with "Numa Numa no... Gatling Gun!!!" The gunfire tears across the street, but Pekoms does not panic. The attack announces Caribou's Devil Fruit and his bounty, while also setting up the immediate question: how dangerous is a Logia-type rookie in the New World? Page 10: Caribou's Gatling Gun fails to stop Pekoms. The crowd screams, "Mr. Pekoms!!" as smoke clears and something strange appears in the blast's place. Someone asks, "The heck is that...?!!" and another shouts, "A turtle?!!" Pekoms has transformed, then emerges with a grim "Ghh!!" Caribou realizes Pekoms is a fruit user too and laughs, "A fruit user, huh?!! But of course." Pekoms' transformation reveals that he is not simply a lion-faced fighter; he can become a turtle-like creature, using the shell to withstand the barrage. Caribou mistakes that discovery for an advantage. Page 11: Caribou mocks Pekoms as "nothing but a worthless Zoan," but Pekoms closes the distance and strikes. The panels narrow on Pekoms' face, his clawed stance, and Caribou's smug expression before the blow lands with brutal force. Caribou's Logia body, which had let him slip away from ordinary attacks, does not save him here. Pekoms' punch smashes into him directly, and the crowd reacts in shock. The page makes the New World lesson physical: a rookie who believes his Devil Fruit makes him invincible can be hit and defeated by someone who knows how to fight there.
