## One Piece Chapter 65: PREPAREDNESS - Chapter: 65 - Pages: 0-17 - Characters: Buggy, Alvida, Monkey D. Luffy, Don Krieg, Patty, Carne, Sanji, Zeff ### Summary Page 0: The title page shows Buggy the Clown and Alvida on the deck of a ship. Buggy is looking through a pair of binoculars and screaming "YEAHHHHHH!!!" with his mouth wide open. Alvida stands behind him, smiling confidently. A thought bubble above them shows a pirate ship they have spotted. The text at the bottom reads "ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL. 20 'SPOTTED! MY PIRATE SHIP UP AHEAD!'". Page 1: Luffy stands on the ruined deck, smiling confidently despite his injuries. He declares, "THAT'S NOTHING BUT A BOMB ON A STICK!" The scene shifts to show Don Krieg's Great Battle Spear lying on the deck, its tip completely broken off. Luffy continues, "WITH THE SPEAR-TIP BROKEN, I'VE REDUCED ITS POWER BY HALF." Krieg stands opposite Luffy, holding the broken shaft of his weapon. He glares down at the young pirate and asks, "IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?" with a heavy "DON!!" sound effect emphasizing his imposing presence. Page 2: Patty, Carne, and another Baratie cook watch the fight in absolute shock. They exclaim, "HE DID IT! HE REALLY IS AMAZING!" and "THE GREAT WAR SPEAR WOULD BE BROKEN!" One of them adds, "U... UNBELIEVABLE! TO THINK THAT DON KRIEG'S MOST POWERFUL WEAPON," as they process Luffy's feat. Krieg, however, remains unfazed. Holding his broken spear, he retorts, "CONSIDERING THAT EVEN A MERE BOMB ON A STICK CAN EASILY BLOW YOU AWAY, I'D SAY THAT I STILL HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER TO WIN!" Sanji, sweating and tense, observes Luffy's condition. He thinks, "...HE'S RIGHT, THAT ERRAND BOY SHOULD BE ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSING! WITH THOSE WOUNDS, IF HE TAKES EVEN JUST ONE MORE BLAST FROM THAT SPEAR, HE'LL BE KILLED!" Krieg taunts Luffy further, "NOT ONLY THAT, YOU'RE BLEEDING ALL OVER AND EVEN TOOK 2 BLASTS FROM MY GREAT BATTLE SPEAR. SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE BLUFFING." Luffy simply smirks and replies, "NUH UH!" Page 3: Zeff speaks up, his expression serious. "THEY'RE NO MATCH FOR THAT 'ONE SPECIAL SPEAR' THAT COMES FROM YOUR GUTS..." Sanji looks back at him, frustrated. "WITH ALL THOSE WEAPONS AND ARMOUR, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT HIM! DAMN IT..." Zeff continues his thought, "BUT YOU KNOW, SANJI... NO MATTER HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF WEAPONS OR ARMOUR ONE IS EQUIPPED WITH, THE ONE WHO FEARS DEATH AND HESITATES FOR EVEN AN INSTANT SHALL FALL TO THEIR DOOM." Sanji looks confused, a question mark appearing near his head. Zeff elaborates, "ON THE PIRATES' BATTLEFIELD WHERE LIFE AND DEATH ARE DECIDED," prompting Sanji to sit down on the deck and ask, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?" Zeff looks toward the fight and says, "WITHIN THAT BOY, IF NOTHING ELSE," Page 4: Luffy's face is shown up close, a wide, fearless grin on his face. Zeff's narration continues, "LIES NO HESITATION." Luffy chuckles, "HEE HEE." Sanji looks on, his eyes wide with realization and shock. Zeff explains further, "PERHAPS IT STEMS FROM HIS COMPLETE PREPAREDNESS TO SURVIVE NO MATTER WHAT," Sanji mutters, "CONVICTION...!?" Zeff finishes, "OR HIS CONVICTION THAT FEARS NO DEATH..." Meanwhile, Krieg swings his broken spear with a fierce "ZCHAA!!" sound effect, preparing to strike Luffy again. Page 5: Krieg brings his broken spear crashing down toward Luffy with immense force. He shouts, "SAY YOUR PRAYERS! FROM THE MOMENT YOU WENT AGAINST ME, YOUR DEATH WAS SET IN STONE!" Luffy, completely unfazed, looks up at the incoming attack and sticks his tongue out playfully. "AS IF!" he retorts. With a powerful "BO!!" and "O!!" sound effect, Luffy leaps high into the air, dodging the strike entirely. A small text bubble near his feet says "JUMP!" as he propels himself upward. Page 6: Luffy grabs onto the broken, dangling mast of the Baratie, swinging himself around it with a "BYON!" sound effect. He taunts Krieg from above, "HIT ME IF YOU CAN!" Krieg looks up, frustrated, and curses, "DAMN MONKEY...!" Luffy continues to swing, making playful monkey noises, "OOH OOH AH AH!" Krieg, enraged, swings his broken spear directly at the mast. With a massive "BOOM!!" sound effect, the heavy weapon smashes into the wooden structure, shattering it. Page 7: The mast splinters and breaks apart with a loud "CRACK!!" Luffy loses his grip and begins to fall, grunting "HRNGH!" A small text bubble says "FALL" as he tumbles through the air. Krieg watches silently as the massive piece of the mast crashes down onto the deck with a heavy "CRASH" sound effect. Amidst the debris, Luffy manages to grab onto a large, broken section of the mast. He strains, "NGHH!" as he secures his hold, with a "GRIP!" text bubble and a "ZUZU..." sound effect indicating the weight of the wood. Page 8: Luffy heaves the massive broken piece of the mast and hurls it directly at Krieg. "HAHH!" he shouts, with a "THROW" text bubble and a "SWISH" sound effect as the wood flies through the air. Krieg calmly raises his shoulder armor, revealing a hi...
