## One Piece Chapter 125, pages 11-13: CANDLE CHAMPION - Chapter: 125 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Karoo, Usopp, Luffy, Mr. 5, Miss Valentine, Mr. 3 ### Summary Page 11: Karoo shrieks in terror, "Quack!" as the smoke clears to reveal Usopp badly injured and coughing. "Cough..." Usopp wheezes. Luffy screams his friend's name in horror, "Usopp!" Karoo continues to panic, "Quack quack!" Miss Valentine laughs sadistically, "Kyahahaha! Didn't you hear him say that you won't be able to win either?" Usopp collapses to the ground with a heavy thud. Luffy grits his teeth in frustration and anger, realizing the dire situation. "Damn it! I don't have much time left!" he curses. Page 12: The Candle Champion suit charges forward aggressively. "Stop right there!" Mr. 3 yells. Nearby, Miss Valentine hovers with her umbrella and asks Usopp and Karoo, "What are you secretly scheming over here? Mind letting me in on the secret?" Mr. 5 scoffs, "Hmph..." On the ground, a battered Usopp whispers to Karoo, who has a rope in his beak. "Listen up. Take this rope and..." Karoo nods and hops away, "Quack! Hop!" Page 13: Karoo sprints away with the rope trailing behind him. "I'm counting on you, Carue!" Usopp yells. "Quaaaack!" Karoo cries as he runs. Suddenly, Miss Valentine appears, floating above Usopp with her umbrella. "Crescendo Stone...! Let's see just how many kilograms your body can take..." she says with a cruel smile. Mr. 5 aims his gun, adding, "It's futile no matter what you do." Miss Valentine drops onto Usopp's back, steadily increasing her weight. "10kg... 100kg... 200kg..." she counts. Usopp groans in agony, "U... Ugh...!" under the crushing pressure.
