Garp, Shanks, Sabo, Gray Terminal residents, Bluejam Pirates, Porshemi, Bluejam ### Summary Page 0: Chapter title page: Chapter 583, "Gray Terminal." The cover illustration shows Franky at a beach resort setup with Kokoro and several women around him. Franky sits in a striped chair under a parasol labeled "Konkatsu," wearing sunglasses and holding food, while Kokoro sits beside him with a drink and a grin. There is no story dialogue beyond the chapter title. Page 1: Young Luffy sits in the Dadan family hideout and declares, "I hate mountain bandits!!" Dadan snaps that looking after him is a pain for them too and says if he does not want to be there, he can get out and starve to death. Luffy complains, "I'm still hungry! I want some meat!!" Dadan explains that the meat is all from a buffalo Ace caught, and that Ace puts some on the table while the bandits do too because times are tough. She tells Luffy that starting tomorrow he will be working to death too, doing cleaning, laundry, shoe shining, polishing weapons, looting, swindling, and killing, and warns him not to mention any of it to Garp. Page 2: Dadan gives Luffy the bare minimum for survival: "Once a day, you'll get one bowl of rice!! And one cup of water!!" She says that is all they will give him and that if he wants anything else, he must get it himself, adding, "And don't grow anything without permission!!" Luffy begins crying, and Dadan yells, "What the hell!!? This is where you start crying!!!" But Luffy explains he is used to being thrown into the jungle by Garp, where there is forest food like earthworms, frogs, and mushrooms. He says he will be a pirate someday and has to be able to do this much. Then he runs out after Ace, telling the bandits he is going to be a pirate. Page 3: Luffy follows Ace through the forest, calling, "Hey!! I'm Luffy!! I'm not angry about you spitting on me anymore!!" Ace ignores him. Luffy tries again, remembering Shanks laughing with him, and shouts, "Why are you laughing?!! You look so lame!! I just got some booze on me, it's not something to get worked up about, right?" Back in the present pursuit, Luffy says, "It's not a big deal, so let's be friends!! Where are you going?" Ace keeps walking without replying. Suddenly a giant animal bursts from the forest and sends Luffy flying as he screams, but Ace continues on. Page 4: Ace continues through the dangerous mountain path without helping Luffy. Luffy is attacked and knocked around by the wilderness, then keeps chasing him. Ace crosses a long rope bridge high over a deep ravine, and Luffy follows while panting. Ace cuts or damages the bridge behind him, and Luffy plunges down into the gap, screaming "Gyaaaa" and "Aaaa-ahhhh..." Ace watches from above, expression unchanged, as Luffy disappears into the gorge. The page is nearly wordless, emphasizing Ace's cold distance and how stubbornly Luffy keeps following even when the path is deadly. Page 5: Ace returns to the Dadan family hideout alone. The bandits ask, "Ace... did you come back alone? Where is he? Wasn't Luffy with you?" Ace answers, "Dunno." Dadan is furious and worried, saying it is bad that they lost Luffy on the first day. She says if Luffy really died they will just tell Garp it was an accident, and complains that they have already given up on looking after Ace. A bandit warns, "He's the son of a demon, you know!? If the government ever found out, what do you think would happen to us!!?" One week later, after the bandits have assumed the worst, someone runs in shouting for Boss Dadan. Page 6: Luffy finally returns after a week, battered, scratched, and exhausted, but alive. The bandits shout, "Luffy came back!!!" and Dadan is stunned: "He was... still alive!? Where the hell did you go!?" Luffy explains that he was chased by wolves at the bottom of the valley. Dadan tells him he will work hard tomorrow and to go sleep, but the next morning Luffy immediately follows Ace again, asking, "Where are you going today, Ace!!?" He raises both arms and says, "Take me too!! Let's be friends!!" Ace still gives him only silence. Page 7: Luffy keeps chasing Ace day after day despite the danger. When Ace runs ahead, Luffy shouts, "Wait!! I'm not losing you today!!" Dadan yells after him, "Hey, Luffy!! You've got chores to do!!" and fumes that the kid will not listen to a word she says. On the eighth day, Luffy is chased by a crocodile-like beast. After the tenth day, he is crushed under falling rocks. He keeps losing Ace, but day after day he gets back up and tries again, each time pushing through injuries and the dangers of Mt. Corbo because he refuses to give up on following him. Page 8: One month passes, then two months. On rainy days and windy days, Luffy keeps following Ace through the mountain, through rivers, cliffs, and beasts. He is bi...
