## One Piece Chapter 37, pages 13-15: KURO, THE PIRATE WITH 100 PLANS - Chapter: 37 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Kuro, Jango, Black Cat Pirates, Marines, Captain Morgan, Nugire Yainu ### Summary Page 13: A grim scene is revealed on the deck of the Marine battleship. The entire crew of Marines lies defeated and bloodied across the wooden planks. Kuro sits calmly on the ship's railing amidst the carnage. A voice from the pirate crew stammers, 'ALL... ALL THE MARINES... ARE DEAD!!'. Kuro looks back over his shoulder at his approaching crew and says, '..... OKAY... LET'S START THE PLAN...'. Back on the pirate ship, the crew is terrified by the display of power. One pirate says, 'EVEN- THOUGH HE'S OUR CAPTAIN... HIS POWER STILL BRINGS SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE.' Another agrees, sweating, 'YEAH... THE OPPONENTS WERE WELL-TRAINED MARINES...'. Page 14: Kuro walks among the fallen Marines and stops over one who is severely injured but still conscious. It is a younger Captain Morgan, before he acquired his metal jaw and axe hand. Kuro looks down and says, '..... UH... OH... YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET...'. Morgan glares up defiantly, his face bloodied. He growls, 'I WON'T BEG FOR MY LIFE. IF YOU WANT TO KILL ME, THEN DO IT NOW!'. Kuro smiles sinisterly, adjusting his glasses. 'YOU'VE GOT QUITE A NICE FACE...... YOUR JAW IS BROKEN... YET YOU STILL CAN SAY SUCH CRAP. I'M IMPRESSED. I SHALL REWARD YOU WITH THE HEAD OF "THE 100 PLANS KURO".' Page 15: Kuro sets his plan in motion. He instructs Jango, who is holding his pendulum in front of the injured Marine Morgan. Kuro says, 'YOUR NAME IS CAPTAIN KURO. THIS TRAGEDY WAS CAUSED BY YOU.' Jango swings the pendulum, chanting, 'TWO... ONE... JANGO!!'. Next to them is a captured pirate, Nugire Yainu, who bears a strong resemblance to Kuro. Under hypnosis, the fake Kuro repeats, 'I AM CAPTAIN KURO. THIS TRAGEDY WAS CAUSED BY ME. I AM CAPTAIN KURO...'. Kuro then tells the hypnotized Morgan, '...AND, YOU'RE THE MAN WHO CAPTURED CAPTAIN KURO!! TAKE HIM BACK TO YOUR BASE AND HAVE HIM EXECUTED. ONE, TWO, JANGO!!'. In the next flashback panel, Morgan repeats, 'I'M THE MAN WHO CAPTURED CAPTAIN KURO!!', while a pirate comments, 'THE FIRST MATE'S HYPNOTIZED HIMSELF AGAIN.' Back in the present, Kuro concludes, 'THIS IS A PERFECT PLAN. ONCE THE FAKE ONE IS EXECUTED, CAPTAIN KURO WILL DISAPPEAR FROM THIS WORLD...!! WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL FOR TODAY'S PLAN TO BE SUCCESFUL... MY PLAN CAN ONLY BE COMPLETE WHEN I HAVE OBTAINED WEALTH AND PEACE'.
