## One Piece Chapter 343, pages 16-18: CIPHER POL NO. 9 - Chapter: 343 - Pages: 16-18 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, shipwrights, Monkey D. Luffy, Tilestone, Kaku, Rob Lucci, Hattori, panda-masked figure ### Summary Page 16: Zoro smiles, realizing the plan: "I SEE. SO LUFFY'S RECKLESSNESS GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY!!" Chopper agrees, "I AGREE! SO WE CAN JUST CHARGE IN THERE!" Nami points ahead, shouting, "JUMP OVER THAT WALL!!" They leap over the metal fence, shouting, "FOLLOW LUFFY!!" and "YEAH, LET'S GO!" However, as they land on the other side, they freeze in shock. A massive crowd of hundreds of angry shipwrights is standing right in front of the building, completely blocking the entrance. One of the shipwrights notices them, saying, "HEY, LOOK THERE." Zoro, Nami, and Chopper stare in absolute horror, their faces comically distorted with shock as they realize their plan has failed spectacularly. "THEY'RE ALL STILL THERE----!!!" they scream in unison. Page 17: The scene cuts to Luffy, who is hilariously stuck between two stone walls, unable to move. He is sweating and panting ("ZEE... ZEE..."), squeezing himself as he groans, "DAMN IT! I CAN'T GET OUT... I WAS GOING TO JUST JUMP INTO THE BUILDING... BUT I GOT STUCK!!!" He struggles to free himself, crying, "OUCH! OUCH! I HAVE TO HURRY...!" Meanwhile, inside the building, panic has erupted among the shipwrights. One shouts, "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" and "COME TO THE PRESIDENT'S ROOM!!!" Another yells, "ALL THE GUARDS ON THE THIRD FLOOR ARE DOWN!!" A third shipwright runs up to Tilestone, shouting, "HOW!? KAKU AND LUCCHI ARE OVER THERE!!" Tilestone looks on in shock ("!?") as he hears the news. In the next panel, Tilestone looks into a room and gasps. Page 18: Tilestone stares in horror at the scene before him. Kaku is slumped in a chair, covered in blood, completely unconscious ("COO..."). Next to him, Rob Lucci lies face down on the floor in a pool of blood, his pet pigeon Hattori standing on his back, cooing sadly ("COO~~~", "SO~~~"). Tilestone screams in absolute anguish and disbelief, "KAKU!! LUCCHI!!!!" In the final panel, the panda-masked figure holds up a transponder snail (Den Den Mushi) and speaks into it, smiling menacingly. He says, "...OH DAMN... THERE'S NO END TO THEM OVER HERE. AREN'T THEY FINISHED YET?"
