## One Piece Chapter 387, pages 14-15: Gear - Chapter: 387 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Blueno ### Summary Page 14: Luffy's attack lands: "Gomu Gomu... Bullet!!!" Blueno answers with "Tekkai," but the impact still drives hard enough to force a cry of "Nwah!!!" The fight erupts into a blur of close-range movement as Blueno throws "Rankyaku" and Luffy keeps pace. Blueno realizes Luffy can match his speed and even alter the path of his Rankyaku. His expression shifts from control to concern. The old gap between CP9 and the Straw Hats has narrowed sharply. Luffy is not just surviving, not just dodging; he is pushing Blueno into exchanges where the Government agent must keep recalculating what the rubber man can do. Page 15: The clash separates them. Blueno thinks, "He can keep up to my speed perfectly. He even altered the path of my Rankyaku... He has unbelievable physical ability..." Luffy stands across from him, battered but smiling, and admits, "I'm no good." Then his smile fades into resolve: "...If I stay the way I am now... I won't be any good..." Blueno reacts with "!?" because he realizes Luffy is not talking about this single exchange. Luffy is judging himself by the enemies still ahead and by the friends he must protect. He has measured the current version of himself and found it insufficient. The page turns the battle into the threshold before a transformation.
