## One Piece Chapter 355, pages 2-3: Spandam - Chapter: 355 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Tom, Iceburg, Spandam, Franky ### Summary Page 2: Iceburg looks at the town's recovery with worry rather than celebration. "EVERYBODY'S HAPPY ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CROSS THE OCEAN. BUT THE TRADE IS STILL NOT ANY GOOD. THE TOWN'S STILL NOT GOING TO CHANGE..." Tom answers him with his huge laugh and the patience of a craftsman who has seen work take root slowly: "TAHA...!! BUT PEOPLE HAVE VIGOR! THE RESULTS WON'T BE THIS FAST, ICEBURG." For Tom, the value of the sea train is not measured only in immediate profit. "WHEN A MAN'S DOING ALL HE CAN... HE JUST THRUSTS HIS CHEST OUT...!!" Then the ordinary rhythm of the yard is interrupted by a call. "HELLO. IS THAT YOU?" The voice says, "THE SHIPWRIGHT, MR. TOM... IT WAS HARD LOCATING YOU. EXCUSE ME, BUT..." A small "WEEE..." trails through the panel. Tom and Iceburg pause, the mood tightening into suspicion. "HM?" "....." "YEAH." "HM?" Page 3: The caller does not arrive quietly. A government man bursts into Tom's world with smoke, noise, and theatrical confidence. "I'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD ... WITH YOU!!" The sudden entrance startles the workers: "WAH..." Behind him, agents panic over the dramatic scene and cry, "SPANDAM-SAN!!" The man introduces himself as though the name alone should bend the room around him: "I AM SPANDAM OF CIPHER-POL NO.5!!!" The page identifies him plainly: CIPHERPOL NO.5 SUPERVISOR SPANDAM. His posture is all arrogance, but the people around Tom do not yet understand what he has come to take. The tone shifts from the hopeful labor of Water Seven to the shadow of the World Government, and Spandam's appearance turns the coming trial into something more dangerous than a legal judgment.
