## One Piece Chapter 357, pages 1-3: Cutty Flam - Chapter: 357 - Pages: 1-3 - Characters: Tom, Franky, Iceburg, Spandam, Jorge, Kokoro, Yokozuna ### Summary Page 1: The plaza is still shaken by Tom's outburst. Citizens scatter and shout, "GET OUT OF THE HARBOR---!" while another voice cries, "TOM'S GONE BERSERK---!" Tom stands wounded and massive in the center of the square, surrounded by guards, townspeople, Franky, Iceburg, Spandam, and the judge. The silence between their faces is heavy: Franky is horrified, Iceburg is grim, Spandam watches for advantage, and the judge listens. Tom finally speaks with deliberate calm, not as a man denying what happened, but as one choosing where the blame should fall: "I WAS FRAMED BY THE WORLD GOVERNMENT, I WILL BE JUDGED BY THE WORLD GOVERNMENT." Then he accepts the consequence in his own words: "THIS DOUBT CAN'T BE DISPELLED ..... THIS IS THE END ...!!" Page 2: Tom's decision horrifies Franky. Franky pleads, "DON'T YOU WANT TO PUNCH HIM, FRANKY?!" while Tom answers the deeper wound rather than the provocation. His ships, his apprentices, and his reputation have all been "USED FOR SUCH A THING..." because of the government's trap, and the accusation hangs over his "untainted ships." But Tom does not turn his fury on Franky. Instead, he turns on the people trying to use Franky's pain as a weapon, striking with brutal force. The blow sends a guard flying with "HOGYAAA!!!" and the square erupts again. Someone screams, "TOM'S STARTING TO GET VIOLENT!!!" while another cries, "WAAAAAAA!!" The violence is not random madness; Tom is refusing to let Franky carry the whole shame alone while Spandam's lie turns their craft into evidence. Page 3: Franky, Iceburg, Kokoro, and Yokozuna watch Tom fight back. Franky screams, "TOM-SAN!!!" Iceburg shouts, "STOP IT, TOM-SAN!!! IF YOU REALLY GET INTO THIS --" Yokozuna cries, "GERO!!" and Kokoro can only ask, "WHAT IS..." Tom's answer cuts through the panic: "DO YOU UNDERSTAND HIS PAIN!!?" He is talking about Franky, the boy whose creations have been twisted into proof of a crime. Tom grabs and throws another man, yelling, "YOU!!!" and the guards respond with force. A command rings out: "FIRE--!!!" Rifles and cannons blast toward him. The page holds the contradiction of the scene: Tom is being treated as the attacker, but his rage comes from watching the World Government crush the child he raised as an apprentice.
