## One Piece Chapter 1.1, pages 8-9: Romance Dawn - Chapter: 1.1 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Mikazuki no Gyari, Pirates, Headman ### Summary Page 8: The battered pirate on the deck is revealed to be the captain, a large man with a prominent crescent-moon-shaped mustache and a matching symbol on his bicorne hat. A caption box identifies him as "NAME: MIKAZUKI NO GYARI (CRESCENT MOON GYARI)". Gyari yells defensively, "I DIDN'T LOSE!!! AS IF I COULD LOSE, IDIOT!!!". Another pirate stands behind him, looking shocked. Gyari continues his rant, "I JUST LET DOWN MY GUARD!! I LOST BECAUSE MY GUARD WAS DOWN!!! WAIT, WHAT!?". From his perch on the railing, the straw hat-wearing youth looks down at them. Gyari demands, "I HEARD A RUMOR THAT THERE WAS A GUY GOING AROUND TAKING OVER PIRATE SHIPS BUT... WHAT GRUDGE DO YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO DO SUCH CRAP!!". The young man replies calmly, "I WASN'T PLANNING ON FIGHTING. YOU GUY STARTED ATTACKING ME, REMEMBER?". He then looks slightly annoyed and adds, "'WEIRD BEARD,' RIGHT? WHO'S THE ONE PICKING A FIGHT!! ALL THE PIRATES UP TO NOW DID THE SAME THING". Page 9: Gyari's face contorts with rage, veins bulging on his forehead. He glares menacingly and declares, "BUT THIS TIME YOU PICKED THE WRONG ENEMY". He boasts, "YOU HAVE ANGERED A PERSON NO ONE IN THE WORLD WANTS TO MAKES AN ENEMY OF - THE MAN WHO WILL ENTER THE 'BEST 3,' GYARI..". However, a small panel reveals that the spot on the railing where the young man was standing is now empty. One of Gyari's crewmates points out, "HE'S GONE," to which another replies, "OH, HE IS". Realizing he's been ignored, Gyari furiously slams his fist down (SFX: *BONK* *HUFF!*) and screams, "I'LL KILL HIM!!!". Meanwhile, the young man in the straw hat is already strolling casually down the cobblestone street of the village. He observes, "THIS IS A QUIET VILLAGE, HUH...". He thinks to himself, "I'LL SET THOSE GUYS FREE SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY OUT AT SEA," reasoning, "IF THEY GOT OUT HERE AND STARTED RAMPAGING ABOUT, IT'D SEEM LIKE I BROUGHT THEM HERE". Suddenly, the village Headman jumps out from an alleyway, sweating profusely and bowing slightly. He stammers, "WE'LL LISTEN TO YOUR DEMANDS," and introduces himself, "I AM THIS VILLAGE'S HEADMAN!". The young man looks surprised, exclaiming "WAH," before bluntly noting, "OH, HI. YOU HAVE A STRANGE HEAD, HUH?".
