## One Piece Chapter 8, pages 7-9: NAMI - Chapter: 8 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, three Buggy Pirates, Nami ### Summary Page 7: The scene shifts to the three pirates now furiously rowing the boat, sweating profusely and looking terrified. The oars make loud "KREEK KREEK" and "STROKE! STROKE!" sounds. They apologize profusely, "WE'RE SORRY, MR. PIRATE HUNTER ZOLO, SIR! WE DIDN'T REALIZE WHO YOU WERE!!" One of them laughs nervously, "HEE HEE HEE..." Zoro sits back comfortably, arms crossed, and commands, "KEEP ROWING. IF THERE'S ANY LAND NEARBY, HE'LL GET THERE." He adds, "YOU JOKERS MADE ME LOSE MY FRIEND!" Zoro then asks them, "SO, HOW DID YOU PIRATES END UP SOAKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN?" The middle pirate points to his head, looking angry, and replies, "I'LL TELL YOU HOW!!! THANKS FOR REMINDING US!" The three pirates yell in unison, their faces contorted with anger, "IT WAS THAT WOMAN!!" "IT WAS ALL HER FAULT!!!" One adds, "SHE WAS A REAL LOOKER, THOUGH!!" Page 8: A flashback begins, showing a small pirate ship with a Buggy Jolly Roger sailing on the ocean. Laughter rings out, "HAR HAR HAR HAR!!" On the deck, one of the pirates says, "WE HAD JUST FINISHED RAIDING A MERCHANT SHIP..." Another adds, "THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD HAUL!" The three pirates are gathered around an open treasure chest filled with loot. One remarks, "NOT A BAD, FOR A SMALL SHIP!" Another says, "MAYBE CAPTAIN BUGGY WILL GIVE US A REWARD!" Suddenly, one of them notices something off-screen and says, "HUH? A BOAT!" They look over the side of their ship and see a small wooden boat drifting nearby. A person is slumped over inside it. One of the pirates observes, "THERE'S A BODY IN IT." Page 9: The pirates lean over the railing of their ship, looking down at the drifting boat. One says, "HEY... A GIRL!" Another laughs, "WHAT'S WRONG, GIRL? HAR HAR HAR! ARE YOU DEAD?" In the small boat, a young woman with short orange hair looks up weakly, sweating. She mutters, "OH... I'M SEEING THINGS......THERE CAN'T BE ANYONE HERE IN THE VAST SEA..." She is slumped over a treasure chest and pleads, "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE......BUT COULD YOU SPARE A LITTLE WATER? AND MAYBE A PIECE OF BREAD? I'M LOST AT SEA!" She looks up at them desperately, "IF YOU WANT GOLD, TAKE IT... BUT PLEASE... HELP ME." The three pirates look down at her with greedy, sinister expressions, panting "PANT PANT". One replies, "SURE, WE'LL HELP YOU..." Another adds, "BUT FIRST LET'S JUST TAKE A PEEK IN THAT TREASURE CHEST!"
