## One Piece Chapter 75, pages 16-17: Sea Charts and Fishmen - Chapter: 75 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Marines, Nojiko, Genzo, Cocoyasi Villagers, Arlong, Kuroobi, Chew, Hatchan ### Summary Page 16: A massive, violent whirlpool forms directly in the path of the Marine ship. The crew is in absolute terror. One yells, "AGHH! A GIGANTIC WHIRLPOOL SUDDENLY APPEARED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!" Another cries, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" A third confirms their doom, "THE RUDDER WON'T WORK!" The ship is caught in the swirling vortex, tilting dangerously as a Marine screams, "WE'RE BEING SUCKED IN!" The scene cuts back to the shore, where the villagers watch the destruction of their only hope. A villager laments, "EVEN THOUGH THEY CAME TO SAVE US..." Genzo, looking grim, adds, "THIS IS THE CRUEL REALITY..." Nojiko watches with a stoic, resigned expression, thinking, "NO ONE CAN HOPE TO ESCAPE FROM ARLONG'S RULE." Page 17: Back at Arlong Park, the three officers return. Arlong grins widely and says, "SORRY FOR MAKING YOU GO THROUGH ALL THAT TROUBLE, BOYS..." Kuroobi replies, "HEH, IT'S NOTHING AS LONG AS WE KNOW EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THESE SEAS FROM THE WINDS TO THE OCEAN FLOORS." Chew adds his usual "CHU <3". Kuroobi continues, "WITH NAMI'S SEA CHARTS AND OUR ABILITIES, NO ONE CAN CHALLENGE US ON THE SEAS." Arlong's grin widens as he states, "SPEAKING OF WHICH, NAMI'S AN INVALUABLE MEMBER IF WE'RE TO CREATE OUR ARLONG EMPIRE." Kuroobi questions him, "BUT DIDN'T YOU PROMISE TO LET HER AND HER VILLAGE GO FREE, ONCE SHE PAYS 100 MILLION BELI?" Arlong's expression turns sinister, his sharp teeth gleaming as he replies, "OF COURSE. AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, I'M A MAN WHO WOULD RATHER DIE THAN BREAK A PROMISE INVOLVING MONEY...!"
