## One Piece Chapter 5, pages 3-4: THE KING OF THE PIRATES AND THE MASTER SWORDSMAN - Chapter: 5 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Koby, Roronoa Zoro, Monkey D. Luffy, Helmeppo ### Summary Page 3: Out in the execution yard, Koby runs desperately toward Zoro, who is still tied to the wooden cross. Koby cries out, "I'M GONNA DIE!!!" Zoro looks at him in surprise and says, "GOOD! YOU'RE ALIVE!" Koby reaches the cross and urges Zoro, "NOW GET OUTTA HERE! THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY DOWN." As Koby struggles to untie the thick ropes, he pants, "BUT... I HAVEN'T UNTIED YOU..." Zoro tells him to stop, saying, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. I JUST HAVE TO SURVIVE THE MONTH AND THEY'LL LET ME GO. SO JUST BEAT IT-- THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU GO!" Koby, tears streaming down his face, reveals the grim truth: "YOU'RE GOING TO BE EXECUTED THREE DAYS FROM NOW!!" Zoro's eyes widen in shock as he yells, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!? THAT IDIOT PROMISED ME! IF I SURVIVE HERE FOR A MONTH, I'LL BE SET FREE!!" Page 4: Koby cries as he explains the reality of the situation, accompanied by a brief flashback of Luffy punching Helmeppo. Koby says, "HE NEVER INTENDED TO KEEP THAT PROMISE! THAT'S WHY LUFFY PUNCHED HELMEPPO! BECAUSE HE FOUND OUT HELMEPPO LIED TO YOU!!" Zoro is stunned, muttering, "WHAT!?" Koby continues to weep, telling Zoro, "THE NAVY IS YOUR ENEMY NOW!! PLEASE! IF I UNTIE YOU, WILL YOU HELP LUFFY!?" Zoro looks down silently as Koby pleads with him. Koby adds, "HE SAVED MY LIFE! I WON'T ASK YOU TO BECOME A PIRATE, BUT......YOU CAN ESCAPE FROM HERE! PLEASE, HELP HIM!"
