## One Piece Chapter 703, pages 16-17: Waiting Room - Chapter: 703 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Spartan ### Summary Page 16: Spartan stands over Luffy, enormous and furious, while the crowd mocks the newcomer. "Where's the fun in crushing weaklings!? The crowd's here to see true fighters clash!!" one gladiator shouts. Another says, "Calm down, Spartan," but someone else sneers at Luffy's disguise: "Hey brat with the fake beard!!! This is an arena, ain't it!? It's no place for you!! Go home!!" Spartan adds, "Get out of here, now!!" Luffy looks up with a quiet "Hmm?" as Spartan lunges. The next moments happen almost too quickly to follow: a "Whoosh," a "Swoosh," a shocked "Eh... Ahh!!" and the huge man is thrown off balance. Luffy barely seems to move, yet Spartan's power turns into his own downfall. The room sees that the strange old-looking entrant is not weak at all. Page 17: Spartan crashes into the floor with a massive impact, the room exploding in debris and giant sound effects. Fighters recoil in disbelief: "!!?" Luffy stands calmly in the aftermath, still wearing the ridiculous disguise. Someone begins to protest, "A declaration of war...!!" but Luffy only grins with all his usual confidence. "Shishi shishi," he laughs. "Nice to meet ya." Around him, hardened gladiators stare with open mouths, one crying "Buhu" as the scale of what just happened sinks in. The page closes the chapter on the punchline and the warning at once: the fighter registered as Lucy has introduced himself to the Corrida Colosseum waiting room by dropping Spartan, and no one there can still dismiss him as a harmless old man.
