## One Piece Chapter 197, pages 11-12: The Leaders - Chapter: 197 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Chaka, Crocodile, Vivi, Kouza, Royal Guards ### Summary Page 11: A large stone statue of a jackal is shown outside the palace. Chaka declares proudly, "I am this country's guardian deity... The jackal! The one that destroys, The enemies of the royal family...!" Crocodile looks unimpressed, his cigar clamped in his teeth. "Is exactly what stupidity is." Chaka, panting heavily in his hybrid form, retorts, "...And that, Then I will use it to fight! As long as I have even one breath left in me," Chaka stands firmly between Crocodile and the others, instructing them urgently, "Princess! Kouza! Run now and do what you must! I still have enough strength to hold him off for a little while...!" Page 12: Kouza immediately turns and sprints away down the corridor, a "DASH" sound effect following him. Chaka recalls a memory of a young Kouza asking him for training. "SUCH A FICKLE CHILD. WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO BEGGED ME TO TRAIN YOU?" Young Kouza complains, "WHAT THE HELL! THAT'S NOT FAIR, GO EASY ON ME A LITTLE!" Chaka replies, "I GUESS EVEN THE LEADER OF THE SAND SAND GANG ISN'T ANYTHING SPECIAL." In the present, Kouza says, "Got it!". Vivi looks back at Chaka with concern, calling out, "CHAKA!". Outside, the battle rages on. A soldier reports, "2ND ROYAL SQUADRON REPORTING TO MAIN FORCES! 2ND ROYAL SQUADRON REPORTING TO MAIN FORCES! THE 4TH LINE HAS BEEN BROKEN THROUGH!" The massive stairs leading up to the palace are shown as the report continues, "THE REBELS ARE NOW MAKING THEIR WAY PAST THE CENTRAL SQUARE, AND ARE HEADING TOWARDS THE NORTHERN BLOCK! THEY'LL BE AT THE PALACE SOON!"
