## One Piece Chapter 171, pages 7-8: The Rebellion's Leader, Kouza - Chapter: 171 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Kouza, King Cobra ### Summary 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..." Page 8: The flashback continues. Cobra says, "You haven't changed at all, have you..." Kouza turns and walks away, declaring, "No, I've changed...! I can fight now!" Close-ups show Cobra's stern face and Kouza's angry one. Kouza shouts, "JUST YOU WATCH! I'LL COME BACK TO STEAL YOUR RAIN!" Back in the present, Kouza continues his furious horse ride across the desert. He looks distressed and confused as he thinks to himself, "WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A POINTLESS THING...!?"
