## One Piece Chapter 9, pages 22-23: Femme Fatale - Chapter: 9 - Pages: 22-23 - Characters: Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy, unidentified Buggy Pirates ### Summary Page 22: A view of the town's empty street leading towards a large building is shown. A voice says, "IT'S JUST AT THE END OF THIS STREET. THAT'S THE TAVERN WHERE THE PIRATES HANG OUT." Luffy and Nami walk down the street together. A large "DA-DOOM" sound effect echoes from the tavern in the distance. Luffy asks, "SO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO THERE?" On the right side of the page, a small panel shows a close-up of Nami's hands quickly tying the rope with a "FWP" sound as she says, "WELL..." Below that, Luffy looks down in confusion, saying, "HUH?" while Nami continues, "...YOU'LL SEE..." In a large panel taking up the rest of the page, Nami forcefully pulls the rope tight around Luffy with a "SQUEEZE!!" sound effect. She finishes her sentence, "...WHEN WE GET THERE... MR. PIRATE-BREECHES!" Luffy, now completely bound in the rope, falls face-first to the ground with a "FWUMP!!" sound, yelling in shock, "WHAT'RE YOU DOING!?" Page 23: An exterior view of the large tavern building is shown as a loud voice from inside yells, "WHAT!?" Inside, a close-up reveals Captain Buggy's face, looking absolutely furious with veins popping on his forehead. He roars, "YOU LET THAT THIEF GET AWAY!? YOU'RE TELLING ME A LITTLE TART OUTRAN THREE OF MY BEST MEN!?" Three of Buggy's pirate crewmen are kneeling on the floor, sweating and pleading for their lives. One of them cries, "A THOUSAND PARDONS, CAP'N BUGGY!" Another tries to explain, "BUT HER BOSS, THE GUY IN THE STRAW HAT, WAS REALLY STRONG!" In the final panel, Buggy's face is shown in an extreme, terrifying close-up as he screams, "FOR THIS YOU DIE!!" The three pirates scream in terror, "AAAAAAH!!!" with a large "GULP!!!" sound effect hovering over them as they face their captain's wrath.
