## One Piece Chapter 1.1, pages 5-6: Romance Dawn - Chapter: 1.1 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Shiruku, Headman, Villagers ### Summary Page 5: A young woman with short light hair, wearing a black top, a plaid skirt, and boots, steps forward confidently. She holds a sword resting over her shoulder. A caption box identifies her as 'NAME: SHIRUKU'. She asks the villagers, 'WHAT ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT?' and declares, 'WE SHOULD FIGHT!'. The villagers in the background look annoyed and yell, 'SHIRUKU!!' and 'YOU SHUT UP', with background text reading 'BACKGROUND TEXT: GO AWAY. YOU'RE ANNOYING'. Shiruku angrily yells back, 'DON'T IGNORE ME!! I'M A CITIZEN OF THIS TOWN TOO!!'. The Headman and other men plead with her, 'IF YOU GET INVOLVED, THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A BIG DISASTER!!' and 'PLEASE, JUST STAY OUT OF THIS!!'. Shiruku furiously questions, 'WHY DO WE HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO PIRATES!? I'M AGAINST IT!!'. The Headman, looking resolute with a heavy shadow over his face and a sound effect 'ずずーん' ('SFX: *VIGOROUS MOTION*'), decides, 'ANYWAY...! I'LL TRY TALKING WITH THEM'. He instructs, 'A FEW SHOULD STAY HERE WHILE EVERYONE ELSE TAKES REFUGE IN THE VILLAGE'. Page 6: A large pirate ship violently crashes into the pier of a coastal village, its bow splintering the wooden docks. Sound effects indicate a "VIOLENT ENTRANCE" and a loud "BAN!!". The ship's sails are full, and a black flag bearing a skull with a crescent moon mustache flies high. In the quiet town, a voice observes, "SEEMS LIKE... A GHOST TOWN". Inside a building, the village Headman peeks out, his heart beating rapidly (SFX: *HEART BEATING*). Sweating nervously, he wonders, "WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE PERSON COMING OUT...?". Elsewhere, Shiruku watches from a window, her sword resting on her shoulder. She looks unimpressed, thinking, "HUH. I THOUGHT HE'D LOOK TOUGHER". Other villagers hide inside their homes, peering anxiously through windows and doors. They murmur among themselves: "HE'S HERE...!!", "THAT'S CRESCENT MOON GYARI!?", "ISN'T CRESCENT MOON KNOWN FOR HIS BEARD?", "I SEE! IT'S TRUE... CRESCENT MOON'S HAT", and "IT MUST BE THAT HAT. I CAN SEE IT ON HIM".
