## One Piece Chapter 2, pages 17-19: THEY CALL HIM 'STRAW HAT LUFFY' - Chapter: 2 - Pages: 17-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Koby, Alvida, Alvida Pirates ### Summary Page 17: Enraged, Alvida swings her massive iron mace down with a powerful "WHAM!". "YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO DIE!!" she roars. Koby screams, "L-LUFFY...!!" while Luffy smiles and says, "GOOD FOR YOU, KOBY!!" The spiked mace comes down on Luffy, but he remains standing beneath his straw hat. Alvida sneers, "IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME..." However, Luffy simply smiles and says, "THAT DIDN'T HURT!" Alvida and her crew stare in absolute disbelief, their eyes bulging. "IMPOSSIBLE! NO ONE SURVIVES THE IRON MACE!!" Luffy smirks and explains, "'CAUSE I'M MADE OF RUBBER!" Page 18: Luffy grabs Alvida's mace with one hand and stretches his other arm far back behind him, the limb extending like a rubber band. "GUM-GUM..." he calls out. The pirates watch in horror, "YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING!" Alvida is stunned, "WHAT THE--?" Luffy's stretched arm snaps forward with incredible speed. "...PISTOL!" His fist connects squarely with Alvida's face in a devastating punch, the impact echoing with a massive "POW!!". The force of the blow sends Alvida flying backward. Page 19: Alvida crashes hard into the ground, completely defeated. Her crew panics, running towards her. "CAPTAIN!!!" "HE BEAT LADY ALVIDA! HE'S NOT HUMAN!" "H-HIS ARM STRETCHED LIKE RUBBER..." Luffy turns to the terrified pirates, pointing a finger at them. "GIVE KOBY A DINGHY! HE'S GONNA JOIN THE NAVY!" The pirates immediately salute and comply, "Y-YESSIR..." Koby, overwhelmed with emotion, cries tears of joy. "LUFFY..." Luffy just laughs his signature laugh, "HAHAHA!"
