## One Piece Chapter 647, pages 7-9: Stop, Noah! - Chapter: 647 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy, Noah, Fishman Island, Shirahoshi, Joyboy ### Summary Page 7: The Straw Hats and the citizens look up as Noah bears down. Luffy continues inside the air bubble near the ship, battered and panting, while people below shout, "Luffy-san!!" Then his fists hammer Noah again and again. His face is fierce with strain and blood as he drives more blows into the ship's body, trying to destroy enough of it before it reaches Fishman Island. Page 8: The crowd begins to understand Luffy's plan. Someone says, "If he can really destroy the Noah, this island will be saved..." but another voice knows the cost: "But if he doesn't make it..." A warning explodes through the plaza: "Fishman Island will be destroyed!!!" Yet instead of running, people start shouting to Luffy. They cry, "Don't give in, Straw Hat!!" and "We won't run when a human like you is fighting for us!!!" Another declares, "We're staying right here where we are!!" The voices grow into a chorus: "We all believe in you!!!" "Don't give in, Straw Haaat!!!" "Fishman Island is in your hands!!" "Go for it, big bro Straw Haaat!!!" and finally, again and again, "Straw Hat...!!!" Page 9: The chant spreads across the plaza: "Straw Hat!!!" The citizens raise their arms toward the sky while Luffy, bleeding and panting, snarls at the ship itself: "Stop right there, stupid ship!!" He continues smashing Noah as everyone calls his name. Shirahoshi, watching his wounds open, realizes what his resolve means. She thinks, "Though it pains me to accept this, the safety of my people must come first..." and then, "The Noah must be destroyed...!! I'm sorry, father... this is the only way..." From somewhere deeper, the apology reaches a name older than the present crisis: "I must apologise... it seems that the promise can no longer be fulfilled... Joyboy..."
