## One Piece Chapter 1.1, pages 2-3: Romance Dawn - Chapter: 1.1 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Pirates ### Summary Page 2: A large pirate ship with a crescent moon Jolly Roger on its sails approaches a coastal village. The pirates on board raise their weapons and cheer as someone shouts, 'THE VILLAGE HAS COME INTO VIEW! EVERYONE, WE'RE DISEMBARKING!!!!' and 'HOOO OH!!!' Large sound effects read 'ゴゴゴゴゴ' with a side note 'SFX: *EXCITEMENT*'. In a smaller panel below, a young man wearing a straw hat looks through binoculars from his small boat, spotting the ship. He lowers the binoculars, saying 'OHH-HHHH' and 'THAT'S...'. Another panel shows him relaxing in his boat, which also has a Jolly Roger flag, as he notices something with a 'HM?'. The bottom panels focus on the approaching pirate ship's flag—a skull with a crescent moon behind it. The young man excitedly identifies it, shouting 'JOLLY ROGER!!' and 'LUCKY LUCKY!! THE SYMBOL OF DEATH!' with a sound effect 'SFX: BAN'. Page 3: A large splash page shows the young man, identified by a caption box as 'NAME: MONKEY D. LUFFY', sitting in his small boat and smiling broadly. He wears a straw hat, a dark vest, and light shorts. In the background, the large pirate ship sails across the ocean. The series title 'ROMANCE DAWN' and 'ロマンス ドーン' are displayed prominently in the top left. Luffy excitedly declares, 'A PIARATE SHIP!!!' and 'ALRIGHT!' with a sound effect 'SFX: DON!'. In a smaller inset panel at the bottom left, Luffy's small boat, which has a skull and crossbones flag, is shown from behind as he paddles toward the larger ship, shouting, 'SET SAIL!! SPEEDING MERUHEN GOU!'. Sound effects read 'GIKO GIKO' with a note 'GIKO GIKO = PADDLING'. A translator's note at the top of the panel explains: 'TRANSLATORS NOTE: "MERUHEN" MEANS FAIRY TAIL AND "GOU" MEANS SHIP'.
