## One Piece Chapter 23, pages 15-16: CAPTAIN USOPP ENTERS - Chapter: 23 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 15: The scene shifts to the village. An exterior shot shows a building with a sign reading "MESHI" (Food). A caption box notes, "A SMALL TAVERN IN THE VILLAGE." Chatter sound effects surround the building. Inside, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Luffy are seated around a table filled with food and drinks. Zoro is drinking from a glass, Nami is holding a cup, and Luffy is happily stuffing a massive piece of meat on a bone into his mouth. Usopp asks, "SO, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR COMPANIONS AND A BIG SHIP?" Luffy, with his mouth full, replies, "YUP!" Usopp smiles, "OH! SOUNDS LIKE A BIG ADVENTURE!" Nami looks surprised and asks, "WHAT? LOOKING FOR COMPANIONS?" In the next panel, Usopp leans in, telling Luffy, "THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE STUFF YOU WANT IN THIS VILLAGE... ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT A VERY BIG SHIP, BUT IT'S NOT THAT SMALL EITHER". Nami asks, "WHERE?" Usopp's expression turns serious as he explains, "THERE'S A MANSION NOT FAR FROM THIS VILLAGE THAT BELONGS TO A WEALTHY FAMILY. THE SHIP BELONGS TO THE MANSION'S OWNER". Page 16: Inside the tavern, Usopp continues his explanation to Nami. He gestures with his hand, saying, "ALTHOUGH WE SAY THAT SHE IS THE OWNER... SHE IS A PITIFUL YOUNG GIRL... A WEAK AND SICK GIRL THAT ALWAYS LIES ON THE BED..." Nami listens attentively. In the next panel, Nami asks, "EH? THEN HOW COME SHE'S THE OWNER OF THE MANSION?" Meanwhile, Luffy is happily chewing on a bone and holding up a glass, shouting, "OBASAN!! ANOTHER PLATE OF MEAT!!" Zoro, sitting next to him, yells, "I WANT SOME MORE SAKE..." Nami turns to them angrily, shouting, "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!!?" A small translator note at the bottom reads: ": OBASAN MEANS AUNT OR MA'AM". In the bottom panel, Usopp continues his story, "I THINK IT HAPPENED AROUND A YEAR AGO.. THAT GIRL'S PARENTS DIED OF SICKNESS, LEAVING HER A LARGE INHERITANCE, A MANSION, AND OVER TEN SERVANTS..." A detailed drawing of a large, impressive mansion with a gated entrance is shown behind him.
