## One Piece Chapter 618, pages 1-2: Proposal - Chapter: 618 - Pages: 1-2 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Franky, Brook, Shirahoshi ### Summary Page 1: The color spread continues in full color: the Straw Hats are caught mid-celebration amid lanterns, food stalls, costumes, and a dense festival crowd. The scene emphasizes the whole crew together, smiling, eating, posing, and moving through a bright public celebration. It is an atmospheric chapter image rather than a plot page, with no readable story dialogue. Page 2: Panic erupts in the plaza as the people cry, "Shirahoshi is being kidnapped right now!!!" Luffy, still treating the giant mermaid princess like a troublesome friend, snaps, "Crybaby!! Why did you get out of the shark?!" Shirahoshi immediately breaks down: "I... I'm so sorry, Luffy-sama! Please don't get angry with me... Uwaaahhhh!" The crowd takes the tears as proof of Luffy's wickedness: "He made the princess cry!! This pirate is pure evil!!!" Nearby, Chopper desperately blocks Sanji from looking back. "Don't do it, Sanji!! Don't you dare turn around!!" Sanji, hearing everyone say "princess," realizes what might be behind him: "Everyone keeps saying \"princess\"... you don't mean..." The others warn him, "That's right! She's right there! So don't turn around, Sanji, no matter what!" Sanji trembles at the idea: "You'd better not be saying that the mermaid princess is standing right behind me!!!" Chopper reminds him, "An ordinary mermaid was enough to nearly kill you... If you see the mermaid princess, you'll be dead for sure!!!" But Sanji's dream overwhelms his self-preservation. "The mermaid princess... that most wondrous of all mermaids, said to rival even the pirate empress, the world's finest beauty... is standing right behind my back...?!! How could I bear to live knowing that I let such a chance slip through my fingers?!" With tragic resolve, he declares, "Chopper... I choose to fulfill my dream, and go to my death!!!!" Chopper can only yell back, "I thought your dream was to find all blue!!"
