## One Piece Chapter 98, pages 4-6: DARK CLOUDS - Chapter: 98 - Pages: 4-6 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, police officer, Alvida, crowd ### Summary Page 4: Luffy asks, "WHY?" and the police officer continues yelling, "BECAUSE THAT'S A SPECIAL EXECUTION STAND THAT BELONGS TO THE WORLD GOVERNMENT! SO GET DOWN FROM THERE IMM.." Suddenly, a massive spiked iron club swings into the frame, smashing the police officer brutally into the ground with a loud "THUD". The crowd erupts in terrified screams, "Uwaaaaaah!!" A voice calls out from off-panel, "OH, DON'T BE SO UPTIGHT ABOUT THE RULES, MR. POLICE OFFICER." The voice continues, "I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU, LUFFY...! IT'S BEEN AWHILE." Luffy looks down in surprise, recognizing that something is familiar. Page 5: A beautiful woman with long dark hair, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a bikini top, and a patterned cape, stands holding the spiked club over her shoulder. She smiles confidently and says, "DON'T TELL ME, YOU'VE FORGOTTEN MY FACE...?" The men in the crowd are instantly mesmerized by her appearance, their eyes turning to hearts. "W... WHAT BEAUTY!" "SHE'S GOT TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN FOR SURE!" "SO PRETTY!" Luffy, however, looks completely blank and confused. He stares at her and says, "I DON'T KNOW ANY PRETTY LADIES LIKE YOU. WHO ARE YOU?" Page 6: Alvida looks shocked and slightly annoyed by Luffy's lack of recognition. "WHAT!? I CERTAINLY HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU... AFTER ALL, YOU WERE THE FIRST MAN TO EVER HIT MY BEAUTIFUL FACE." Luffy tilts his head, confused. "I HIT YOUR FACE?" Alvida blushes, holding her cheek with a dreamy expression. "IT LEFT ME BREATHLESS. THAT WAY YOU HANDLED ME SO ROUGHLY..." She then turns to the swooning crowd and shouts, "TELL ME, PEOPLE! WHO IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONE AMONG THESE SEAS!" The crowd enthusiastically cheers back, "THAT WOULD OF COURSE BE YOU!" Alvida turns her attention back to Luffy, smiling seductively. "YES, IT'S ME. THERE'S NO MAN IN THIS WORLD THAT WON'T KNEEL BEFORE ME. BUT YOU SEE, I ONLY LOVE STRONG MEN. I'LL HAVE YOU BE MINE AT LAST, LUFFY."
