## One Piece Chapter 1, pages 59-60: THEY CALL HIM 'STRAW HAT LUFFY' - Chapter: 1 - Pages: 59-60 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 59: This is the title page for Chapter 2. At the top left, a narration box designed like a torn scroll reads: "THIS IS NO ORDINARY BOY IN A ROWBOAT. THIS IS A BOY WITH A DREAM, CHALLENGING THE VAST, TREACHEROUS SEAS IN A TINY DINGHY, SEARCHING FOR EXTRAORDINARY MEN FOR HIS PIRATE CREW!" Seagulls fly overhead with a "SKREE SKREE". Luffy is happily rowing his small boat across the calm ocean, smiling broadly. He says, "WOW! WHAT A GREAT DAY!" and "THE WEATHER'S SO NICE!" A caption box next to him reads "MONKEY D. LUFFY". In the bottom left, an ominous speech bubble warns, "WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT THIS VOYAGE WOULD END IN DISASTER SO SOON?" Large, bold text reading "TA-DA!" dominates the bottom of the page, partially obscuring the chapter title: "CHAPTER 2: THEY CALL HIM 'STRAW HAT LUFFY'". Page 60: The top panel shows a massive, violent whirlpool churning in the ocean with loud "VA-DOO" and "WHRRR" sound effects. Luffy's small wooden boat is caught on the outer edge, being pulled in. Luffy remarks calmly, "HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I'M GETTING SUCKED INTO THIS GIANT WHIRLPOOL..." and adds, "MAYBE I WAS A LITTLE CARELESS..." In the middle right panel, Luffy looks out across the empty ocean, noting, "I COULD USE SOME HELP, BUT THERE'S NOBODY AROUND." In the middle left panel, Luffy rests his hand on his chin, looking mildly inconvenienced as the water swirls around him with "SHWRRR", "WMMMMMM", and "SHNRRR" sounds. He sighs, "OH WELL, CAN'T BE HELPED. DOWN I GO..." and "TOO BAD I CAN'T SWIM, TOO." In the bottom right panel, Luffy suddenly smiles cheerfully, realizing, "HA! WHAT WAS I THINKING? IN A GIANT WHIRLPOOL, IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOU CAN SWIM OR NOT! I'D DROWN EVEN IF I COULD SWIM!" The bottom sequence then shows the whirlpool closing in through narrow action panels, ending in a violent splash as Luffy cries, "YIKES!!" and "AAAA!".
