## One Piece Chapter 57, pages 12-14: BECAUSE OF DREAMS - Chapter: 57 - Pages: 12-14 - Characters: Sanji, Zeff ### Summary Page 12: The storm reaches its peak. The sound of breaking wood fills the air as the ships are torn apart by the violent waves and the massive whirlpool. "CRACK... CRACK... CRASH... AHHHHHHHH!" The ocean churns violently, consuming the wreckage. The scene then transitions to a calm, sunny day. A large, sheer-sided rock formation stands alone in the middle of the vast, empty ocean. Seagulls fly overhead. Page 13: On top of the barren rock, Sanji slowly regains consciousness. He sits up, coughing, and looks around in confusion. Zeff is sitting nearby, his back turned. Zeff says, "SO YOU WOKE UP, DID YOU, YOU LITTLE EGGPLANT... YOU'RE A PRETTY LUCKY ONE, ALRIGHT." Sanji winces in pain, holding his ribs, "OW OW OWWW! P-PIRA..." Zeff continues, "OF COURSE YOU CAN'T MOVE EASILY. JUST WHOSE KICK DID YOU THINK YOU RECEIVED?" Sanji asks, "WHERE'S THE SHIP!?" Zeff replies, "WHO KNOWS. WOULDN'T BE SURPRISING IF YOUR SHIP SANK DURING THAT ROUGH STORM." Sanji looks out from the rock as Zeff adds, "BUT... I KNOW MY SHIP HAS SUNK FOR SURE AT LEAST. I CAN TELL BY THE WRECKAGE. I CAN ONLY BE GRATEFUL THAT I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF MY CREWMATES' DEAD BODIES." Page 14: Zeff explains their grim situation. "IN ANY CASE, THE STORM WAS 2 DAYS AGO. MEANING THAT YOU AND I, ARE STUCK ON THIS GOD-FORSAKEN ROCK, WITHOUT A SINGLE PLANT, FRUIT, OR ANIMAL TO EAT." He points out at the ocean, "OF COURSE, THERE'S A LOT OF FISH IN THE OCEAN, BUT THE SIDE OF THIS ROCK'S BEEN CARVED OUT BY THE WAVES, SO THAT ONCE YOU JUMP DOWN, IT'LL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO COME BACK UP." Sanji realizes the gravity of their predicament. Zeff concludes, "IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO GET FOOD. FEEL FREE TO CRY IF YOU WANT." Sanji angrily yells at Zeff, "NO. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Zeff glares back, "IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP, I'LL JUST EAT YOU INSTEAD."
