## One Piece Chapter 18, pages 7-9: BUGGY, "THE CLOWN PIRATE" - Chapter: 18 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Buggy, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 7: Buggy holds up both hands, revealing three sharp knives gripped securely between the fingers of each hand. He threatens, "I'M SAYING THAT I'M NOT A NICE ENOUGH GUY TO TELL YOU INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW EVEN IF IT'S YOUR LAST WISH BEFORE YOU DIE..." Luffy smiles confidently and cracks his knuckles, replying, "THEN LET ME MAKE YOU SAY IT BY FORCE!" Buggy stomps his feet on the ground with a "STOMP STOMP" sound effect and laughs menacingly, "KUHAHAHAHA! BEFORE YOU HEAR IT... YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEAD." A close-up shows the gleaming blade of one of Buggy's knives as he points out, "EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE RUBBER, THERE ARE STILL SOME THINGS THAT WON'T BOUNCE OFF YOU". Luffy nods in agreement with a "*NOD*" sound effect, calmly saying, "MM, THAT'S RIGHT." Buggy then strikes a dynamic pose, pulling his arm back as he begins to call out his technique, "BA-RA BA-RA..." Page 8: Buggy throws three knives from each hand in a wide, sweeping motion, shouting, "WINDMILL!!" Large action lines and sound effects emphasize the forceful throw. In a smaller panel, Luffy looks up with a surprised expression, an exclamation mark in his speech bubble. He quickly leaps high into the air, his legs spread wide as he spins to dodge the incoming blades. The text reads "SWING! SWING!" with an "SFX: JUMP" sound effect. Below, Buggy looks up at the airborne Luffy with a shocked expression, remarking, "MOVING HERE AND THERE IN THE AIR...!" Page 9: Buggy continues his thought from the previous page, yelling, "IS MOST LIKELY IMPOSSIBLE!!" as he throws more knives. Luffy is shown suspended in mid-air, surrounded by flying daggers, looking momentarily caught off guard. However, in the next panel, Luffy smiles broadly and says, "WHY NOT?" as he extends his right arm far across the street. With an "SFX: STREEEETCH..." sound, his hand reaches a nearby building and grips a wooden window frame with a "GRAB!" sound effect. Using his stretched arm, Luffy shouts "PULL!" and yanks his entire body out of the path of the knives, flying through the air with an "SFX: SWOOSH!!" as Buggy watches in disbelief.
