## One Piece Chapter 33, pages 2-3: THE SILENT MAN - Chapter: 33 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Jango, Kuro, Sham, Buchi, Usopp, Nami ### Summary Page 2: Jango, sweating nervously, tries to explain himself to Kuro. "But... but... that day, you said that we could let that kid go... 'Cause he couldn't affect our plans!!" Kuro, standing calmly with his arms at his sides, replies, "Yes, I did say that..." A close-up of Kuro's face shows his cold, calculating demeanor as he continues, "So what?! He indeed still cannot affect our plans. I expected that he would come after us..." He glares sharply, adding, "I just didn't expect your uselessness! I don't want any more excuses!" Down on the slope, Sham, the hunched pirate with green hair, and Buchi, the large pirate in the cat suit, look angry and insulted. Sham snarls, "You said we're useless...?!" Buchi adds, "Don't look down on us, Captain Kuro..." Kuro simply stares back at them silently. Page 3: Kuro raises his hand to adjust his glasses, using the palm of his hand to avoid scratching his face with the long blades attached to his fingers. A rustling sound effect accompanies his movement. He says, "Indeed, you were very powerful. But that's in the past..." Jango yells at his subordinates, "Hey! Shut up, Buchi!! Sham!!" Kuro calmly asks, "What are you trying to say?" Sham and Buchi step forward, looking menacing with their claws extended. Sham retorts, "That was three years ago...!! You've been pampering yourself in this village! But we've never stopped our attacks!!" Buchi chimes in, "We've attacked quite a lot of villages... and sank many ships...!!" Watching this unfold, Usopp looks shocked and mutters, "Internal conflict...?!" Nami stands beside him, looking worried about the escalating tension among the pirates.
