## One Piece Chapter 255, pages 1-3: The Python and the Explore Team - Chapter: 255 - Pages: 1-3 - Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Nico Robin, Chopper, Giant snake ### Summary Page 1: In the dense forest of Upper Yard, Luffy yells at the top of his lungs, "WEST IS THIS WAY!!!" with his mouth wide open, pointing forward. Behind him, Zoro is walking away in the opposite direction. Robin points out calmly, "...Would you please tell them that we're going south, which is this way?" Chopper angrily yells at Zoro, "YOU DUMB ASS!!!" Zoro turns back, annoyed and sweating, and argues, "Oi, Luffy! Do you ever listen to other people? She said it's the 'skull's right eye,' so it's to the right. That's this way!" Robin sighs, resting her chin on her hand, "*Sigh* You are such an idiot with no sense of direction." A wooden signpost nearby clearly points in the direction Zoro is heading, labeled "EAST". Unbothered, Luffy happily marches forward, holding a large stick over his shoulder, singing, "LA LA LA~~ HNMHNM~~~ HNM~~~♪" He smiles and says, "Oooh, so we are going south? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zoro yells from off-panel, "BI SHI!!" Page 2: Chopper looks at Luffy's stick with sparkling eyes and a wide, excited mouth, exclaiming, "Luffy, that's a nice stick!!!" Luffy laughs, "Nhahahaha! I think so, too, but I can't give it to you. Go find one yourself." Chopper replies, "Oh... okay~~~" and starts looking around the ground, muttering "Stick, stick." Zoro, sweating slightly, asks, "What about a stick?" As the group walks through the dense, root-filled forest, Zoro remarks, "Nothing came at us when we went into the forest yesterday. Didn't meet a priest, either.." Luffy says, "It's a bit depressing actually." Chopper laughs, "Yup! Hahahaha." Zoro looks back at Chopper and says, "Eh~~~~, Chopper, you're brave today." Chopper explains, "I was worried that the forest would be a very dangerous place, but now I think it is really nothing to worry about. I feel a lot safer with these guys." Robin walks behind them, smiling gently as she thinks, "...What a strange group!" Zoro adds, "Do they really want something to happen that badly?" Page 3: A massive, terrifying giant snake suddenly looms behind the group in the forest. The snake has dark stripes, long fangs, and a huge open mouth, hissing loudly with sound effects "TSS RARA RARA...". The sheer scale of the snake completely dwarfs Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Chopper, who are standing on the giant roots below, unaware of the danger right behind them. The snake's long, forked tongue flicks out as it approaches them, accompanied by ominous rustling sounds "BA GI BA GI BA JI..." and "PA GI PAH GI". The snake's thick, scaled body coils through the trees, sliding forward with a "SU SU..." sound.
