## One Piece Chapter 66, pages 16-17: THE STIFLED SPEAR - Chapter: 66 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Don Krieg, Sanji, Baratie cooks, Krieg Pirates, Gin, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary 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!". Page 17: Before Don Krieg can continue his mad rampage, Gin suddenly steps forward and delivers a swift, powerful blow to Krieg. The unexpected hit knocks the wind out of the heavily injured captain, causing him to gasp and his eyes to roll back. Gin speaks quietly but firmly, "DON KRIEG..." "WE'VE LOST." Krieg collapses forward, and Gin catches him, supporting his captain's unconscious weight on his shoulder. The stunned pirate crew calls out to him, "BATTLE COMMANDER!" Gin then gives the order: "LET'S RETREAT FOR TODAY," "AND START ANEW." The defeated crew, realizing the battle is truly over, solemnly agrees, murmuring, "YEAH...". Gin then turns his attention to Sanji, who is sitting exhausted on the deck with the unconscious Luffy beside him. Carrying the weight of his captain and their defeat, Gin offers a sincere farewell: "THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, SANJI..." "PLEASE DON'T COME AGAIN." Sanji watches them silently as the Krieg Pirates prepare to leave the Baratie.
