## One Piece Chapter 66, pages 15-16: THE STIFLED SPEAR - Chapter: 66 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Sanji, Monkey D. Luffy, Don Krieg, Baratie cooks, Krieg Pirates ### Summary Page 15: Sanji hauls Luffy's limp, soaked body onto the wooden wreckage, panting heavily from the exertion and his own injuries. He gently pats Luffy's head, saying softly, "HEY," "DON'T YOU DIE ON ME NOW." As Sanji looks down at the unconscious boy, a series of memories flash through his mind, reflecting on the intense battle and the unwavering resolve he just witnessed. He thinks to himself, "ALL OF THEM.." "IF I WERE TO TAKE EVEN ONE STEP BACK RIGHT NOW," "I GET THE FEELING THAT I'D NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN BACK TO WHERE I'M STANDING RIGHT NOW." The flashback panels show key moments that shook Sanji's worldview: Luffy pointing fiercely and declaring, "THIS AIN'T THE PLACE FOR ME TO DIE!"; Luffy yelling, "IT'S SIMPLE! JUST THROW YOUR AMBITIONS AWAY!"; and a moment of Sanji's own shocked realization, accompanied by the words "AREN'T I STRONGEST!?". These memories solidify Sanji's understanding of the true strength and conviction required to survive and pursue one's dreams on the Grand Line. Page 16: The quiet aftermath is suddenly shattered as Don Krieg regains consciousness. He forces himself to stand on the ruined deck, his body battered and bleeding heavily, but his eyes burn with a mad, desperate fury. He roars at the top of his lungs, "NO ONE DARES TO GO AGAINST ME!". The sudden outburst terrifies both his crew and the Baratie cooks. His men plead with him, "DON! PLEASE STOP!" and "IF YOU KEEP YELLING WITH THOSE INJURIES...". But Krieg ignores them, his pride refusing to accept defeat. He yells, "I'VE WON EVERY SINGLE BATTLE I'VE BEEN IN! IT'S UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THERE TO BE SOMEONE THAT CAN MATCH MY STRENGTH!". Sanji watches in stunned disbelief, muttering, "KRIEG!". Krieg pants heavily, blood pouring from his mouth, as he forces out the words, "I WIN... AND W... ILL CONTI... NUE... TO WIN!". His crew desperately tries to calm him, shouting, "CALM DOWN THE DON! HE'S LOST HIS CONSCIOUSNESS!". But Krieg, completely unhinged, glares wildly and screams one final, delusional declaration: "I AM THE STRONGEST!".
