## One Piece Chapter 33, pages 0-2: THE SILENT MAN - Chapter: 33 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Gorilla, Kuro, Jango, Sham, Buchi, Nami, Usopp ### Summary Page 0: The title page for Chapter 33, titled "THE SILENT MAN", features a dynamic illustration. A large black gorilla is flying a vintage biplane through a cloudy sky. The plane has a Jolly Roger painted on its side and the words "HAPPY VICTOR" written on the fuselage. Sitting in the front cockpit is Roronoa Zoro, grinning confidently while holding one of his katanas. The gorilla in the back seat is holding a bunch of bananas and steering the plane. Birds fly in the background around the aircraft. Page 1: Captain Kuro, wearing his signature round glasses and a dark suit, looks down with a stern expression. He says, "I didn't expect you to be held up by these kids... The Kuro Neko pirate fleet has been reduced to a truly sad state..." The scene shifts to show Kuro standing on the path, facing away from the viewer. He is looking up the slope where Jango, the Nyaban Brothers (Sham and Buchi), Zoro, Nami, and Usopp are gathered. Kuro raises his voice, shouting, "Isn't that right, Jango?!?" with a loud "GOH!!" sound effect echoing around him. The pirates and the kids on the slope look down at him in tense silence. Page 2: Jango, sweating nervously, tries to explain himself to Kuro. "But... but... that day, you said that we could let that kid go... 'Cause he couldn't affect our plans!!" Kuro, standing calmly with his arms at his sides, replies, "Yes, I did say that..." A close-up of Kuro's face shows his cold, calculating demeanor as he continues, "So what?! He indeed still cannot affect our plans. I expected that he would come after us..." He glares sharply, adding, "I just didn't expect your uselessness! I don't want any more excuses!" Down on the slope, Sham, the hunched pirate with green hair, and Buchi, the large pirate in the cat suit, look angry and insulted. Sham snarls, "You said we're useless...?!" Buchi adds, "Don't look down on us, Captain Kuro..." Kuro simply stares back at them silently.
