## One Piece Chapter 522, pages 0-1: Fatal Disease - Chapter: 522 - Pages: 0-1 - Characters: CP9, Marine pursuers, local defenders, Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Kuja women ### Summary Page 0: The chapter opens with the title text, "Chapter 522: \"FATAL DISEASE\"." The CP9 cover story continues as "CP9 INDEPENDENT ACTION REPORT VOL. 28: \"WE WON'T LET YOU BRING TROUBLE TO OUR HOMETOWN.\"" Several large shadowed figures stand on a rise in the woods, blocking the Marines below. The Marines aim rifles and look up at the silhouettes while the bodies of beaten or fallen men lie across the foreground. The shapes suggest local defenders or powerful figures stepping between the pursuers and the town, refusing to let the Marine operation disturb their home. The page is a cover-story extra rather than part of Luffy's Amazon Lily plot, and the manga-hosting footer below the artwork is unrelated boilerplate. Page 1: Hancock tells Luffy the plan: "Luffy, right...? We'll set sail tomorrow morning... The Kuja Pirates will take you as far as the Shabondy Archipelago. Rest up tonight for the journey ahead." That night, however, the Kuja throw a lively farewell feast. Luffy dances with chopsticks shoved into his nose and mouth, shouting, "Come on, you guys. It's 'kuu'!! 'kuu'!!!" A note suggests a joke about how the chopsticks make the shape of "ku" in hiragana. The women laugh, "Kuu?" "Luffy, you're so funny!!" and "What an inelegant dance..." Someone observes, "Men stick chopsticks between their nose and mouth... and hold a sleeve..." The page turns the grim aftermath of the Gorgon secret into a comic party where the isolated Kuja women are fascinated by Luffy's ridiculous behavior.
