## One Piece Chapter 171, pages 6-7: The Rebellion's Leader, Kouza - Chapter: 171 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Kouza, Civilians, King Cobra ### Summary Page 6: Scenes of the severe drought are shown. People look at a dried-up canal in despair. "THIS IS TERRIBLE! THE IRRIGATION CANALS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED! WHO WOULD'VE DONE SUCH A THING!? NOW THE TOWN'S CUT OFF FROM WATER!" A dry water tap drips nothing onto the cracked earth. "If only the rain would come..." "It's already been over a year since it last rained..." A child cries loudly, "WAHHHH!" A man tends to a wounded person on the ground. "THIS MAN IS CRITICALLY WOUNDED! HE NEEDS TREATMENT AT ONCE!" Kouza looks on with a serious, pained expression. A voice tells him, "I hear Erumalu's a ghost town now. Don't lose faith, Kouza. The rain will come." Page 7: A flashback shows Kouza arguing passionately with King Cobra inside the palace. Kouza pleads, "I don't want to doubt you but the fact is, there are people starving out there! So whether or not you've actually used it in the past, I'm sure you have some left to spare!" Cobra firmly refuses, "Absolutely not! We must wait for the rain to fall naturally!" Cobra explains, "Dance Powder is a powder that calls forth misfortune. Its use is prohibited! Alabasta is not the only country that needs rain." Kouza argues back, "If we could just make a little bit of rain... Just a small amount enough to get the people through this drought... Then the rebellion might stop! I'm sure using just a little won't hurt!" Kouza yells, veins popping on his forehead, "I WON'T STAND BY AND WATCH THE TOWNS DRY UP ONE BY ONE ANYMORE!" Cobra remains resolute, sitting on his throne. "GIVE US OUR RAIN BACK, KING COBRA! That would only exacerbate the situation. You're underestimating the dangers of Dance Powder, Kouza..."
