## One Piece Chapter 2.3, pages 3-5: That Boy "The Straw Hat Wearing Luffy" - Chapter: 2.3 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Alvida, unidentified pirate crew member, Koby ### Summary Page 3: A title page illustration shows Luffy standing confidently with his arms crossed, smiling. Behind him is a large pirate flag featuring a skull wearing a straw hat and crossbones. Next to him stands a large, strange bird with green and black stripes and pink tail feathers. Text reads: "CHAPTER 2 THAT BOY 'THE STRAW HAT WEARING LUFFY'". Page 4: A pink pirate ship with a swan figurehead and heart motifs on the sails is anchored near a remote island. A caption reads "ON A REMOTE ISLAND". On the deck, a woman's hand adorned with rings points accusingly, saying, "WHY IS THERE SO MUCH DUST?". A pirate flag with a heart on the skull flaps in the wind. A terrified pirate crew member bows deeply, pleading, "I...I'LL CLEAN IT AGAIN, SO... SO PLEASE DON'T...!!", "A THOUSAND PARDONS, ALVIDA-SAMA*!!", "*SAMA=LORD/MASTER", and "I THOUGHT I'VE ALREADY CLEANED THE WHOLE DECK...!!". A large, shadowy figure looms over him, asking, "DON'T DO WHAT?". Page 5: A massive spiked iron mace is raised high. A small boy with pink hair and round glasses, Koby, looks up nervously. The mace swings down with a crash. The large woman asks, "COBY! WHAT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING OF ALL THE SEAS?". Koby stammers, "THAT'LL BE YOU, ALVIDA-SAMA! EH HEHEHE", "EH...EH HEHEHE OFCOURSE THAT'LL BE..". The pirate crew member from before screams, "I DON'T WANT TO DIEEEE!!!", "PLEASE DON'T HIT ME WITH YOUR BLUDGEON...!!". The woman glares, "SO I DON'T WANT THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF DUST ON MY SHIP!! DO YOU HEAR ME?", "THAT'S RIGHT!! AND THAT'S WHY I ABSOLUTELY HATE DIRTY THINGS!!". Koby, now polishing her red shoes, replies, "Y... YES RIGHT AWAY MA'AM". She tells him, "BUT OTHER THAN THAT YOU'RE TOTALLY USELESS! NOW CLEAN MY SHOES!!". Koby answers, "Y...YES MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH". She adds, "I ONLY LET YOU LIVE THIS LONG BECAUSE YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT NAVIGATION THAN THE OTHERS".
