## One Piece Chapter 661, pages 5-6: The Lake of Bandits - Chapter: 661 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nico Robin, Usopp, Boss ### Summary Page 5: Boss explains the lake's origin with cruel delight. The battle between Akainu and Aokiji created a massive hole like a bomb crater, and "ocean water flooded in to fill it through the giant cracks in the island on either side!!!" He concludes, "So of course it would be home to ocean creatures!! Wohohoh!!" In the freezing water, the crew is in worse trouble. Usopp cries, "Zoro got eaten by the sharks!!!" and another voice yells, "Those sharks are too scary!!" The centaurs taunt them: "Take your time and aim carefully!! They're sitting ducks now!! Blow them to pieces!!!" Usopp says, "Oh, we're doomed on so many levels!!" and Luffy screams, "Fire!!!" The page turns the lake into a death trap: freezing water, sea predators, and ranged fire from shore all at once. Page 6: Before the centaurs can finish them, their weapons fail. The gun barrels are suddenly covered in ice, and the attackers are shocked: "What is it?! What just happened?!!!" They cough and groan while one says, "Agg ghhh...!!" Another asks, "Huh?" as bodies fall around them. Usopp shouts from the lake, "Ahhh hahah hh!!" The attack has been interrupted from behind, and the centaurs cannot understand why their firearms have frozen solid. The page gives the Straw Hats a sudden reprieve without yet showing the rescuer clearly, shifting the momentum away from Boss's trap.
