## One Piece Chapter 198, pages 16-17: 4:15 P.M. - Chapter: 198 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Crocodile, Vivi, Luffy, Pell ### Summary Page 16: Crocodile looks down from the wall, expecting to see Vivi hit the ground. Suddenly, a small silhouette appears in the sky, flying rapidly upwards. Crocodile notices it, standing at the edge. With a massive "WHOOSH", a large bird swoops in right under Vivi, catching her mid-air just before she hits the ground. Crocodile's eyes widen in absolute shock. "IT CAN'T BE...!" The bird lands on the wall, revealing a figure riding on its back. Crocodile glares, a vein popping on his forehead in anger and disbelief as he realizes who has just arrived. Page 17: A massive, dynamic splash page captures the climax of the chapter. Luffy, riding on the back of Pell in his full giant falcon form, flies rapidly up the side of the palace wall. Luffy is furious, his arm pulled back, ready to strike, as he yells at the top of his lungs. Sitting safely behind him on Pell's back, Vivi bursts into tears of overwhelming relief and joy, screaming, "LUFFY!". Crocodile is shown in a tight close-up, his confident demeanor shattered. His face is contorted in shock, anger, and disbelief as he yells, "STRAWHAT!". Luffy's voice booms across the page in massive, bold letters, "CROCO-DIIIILE!!!!!!", signaling his arrival to save Vivi and take down the Warlord.
