## One Piece Chapter 473, pages 14-16: Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma Appears - Chapter: 473 - Pages: 14-16 - Characters: Bartholomew Kuma, Perona, Nami, Wild Zombies, Monkey D. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 14: Kuma responds before Perona's attack can matter. He says, "If you keep on yapping, then I won't be able to ask you where Moria is..." and moves with a soft "Patsu." In the next instant, Perona is gone. Nami looks around, startled: "Where did she...?" The zombies stare at the empty space, then erupt in panic: "Lady Perona!?" "Hey, what happened!!?" "Lady Perona disappeared!!!" and "Where did Lady Perona go!?" Kuma stands where he was, while the escaped ship and the bridge shake around him. The terrifying part is that there is no visible impact, no struggle, and no explanation on the page. One moment Perona is attacking; the next, Kuma has erased her from the scene. Page 15: Perona's servants briefly try to be brave. They shout, "You bastard...!! What did you do with our princess!?" and "We won't forgive you!!" "That's right!! We'll never forgive you!!" Then fear wins. The same crowd breaks and runs, screaming, "But we're also terrified!!! Run away!!!" Kuma's silent presence empties the area as thoroughly as his power removed Perona. Nami is left frozen, sweating, while Kuma turns his attention to her. He identifies her calmly: "You're the 'Cat Thief'... one of the 'Strawhat's' nakama...!!" Nami can only stare back, caught between the stolen treasure, the missing Perona, and the Warlord who now knows exactly who she is. Page 16: Kuma asks Nami a question that cuts straight to Luffy: "Is it true that Monkey D. Luffy has a brother?" Nami is stunned by how suddenly he appears above her and thinks, "What...? He got here in an instant... Did he warp...?" She answers carefully, "Y... yes, he does. Ace, right? What about it?" Kuma says, "I see... it was true..." Nami realizes his target may be Luffy and demands, "What!? Are you here for Luffy!? Why are you here!? Are you really a Shichibukai!?" Kuma gives only the coldest answer: "What I do is up to me." Nami understands the danger at once: "He's bad news!! Is he after Luffy!? I have to let the others know!!"
