## One Piece Chapter 616, pages 11-12: Anniversary of Revenge - Chapter: 616 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Hody Jones, Vander Decken IX, Neptune, Roronoa Zoro, Brook ### Summary Page 11: The chapter cuts back to the palace routes opening: "Entryway to the palace..." "The connecting way..." "The main gate..." and "The palace gates..." Decken and Hody's forces have reached the palace, and the human projectiles have done their work. A guard cries, "You fiends...!! How did you make it all the way in here?!" and then recognizes the leader: "And that man is...!! Hordy Jones, from the Fishman District!!! What business do you have coming back here?!!" Neptune's soldiers identify him with horror: "Hordy...? That man is... He was once... a skilled warrior in our very own Neptune Army..." Vander Decken is also recognized: "That face...!!! Why, you are the deplorable Vander Decken!!! Finally you show yourself!!" but no one understands why he is working with Hody. The palace's supposedly sealed defenses have failed because the invaders used the very openings Zoro forced the palace to prepare. Page 12: Hody Jones and Vander Decken step into the palace entrance like conquerors. Decken laughs, "Well, whaddya know!!! We came in here all ready to start a battle... but it looks like someone beat us to it! Neptune and his troops are all tied up!!" Hody says, "I'm quite amazed... whoever is responsible for this, they left us quite a present...!!!" while someone wonders, "Could it be a trap?! This is far too good to be true." Zoro, standing among the hostages and the opened gates, cuts through the confusion: "I see now... You must be in cahoots with these scoundrels!! It was you who granted them passage into the palace!!" Brook protests, "Look, we wouldn't even be here in the first place if you hadn't invited us!! Now who the heck are those crazy powerful-looking guys?!" The palace guards beg, "Please!! You must at least return us our weapons!!" and point out that "The guests just keep coming, don't they...? This is one lively palace, all right...!!"
