## One Piece Chapter 424, pages 13-14: Escape Ship - Chapter: 424 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Sogeking, Sanji, Nico Robin, Franky, Paulie ### Summary Page 13: Zoro reads the battlefield. "IT'S A BAD IDEA TO GET INVOLVED IN THEIR FIGHT AND GET SEPARATED," he says, and when someone mentions the pigeon, he answers that the pigeon guy is not ordinary. The conclusion is practical: "WE MUST KEEP OUR ESCAPE ROUTE OPEN." Even if the fleet of enemy warships comes at them, they need to hold the ship and wait. Nami understands: "THE 'STORM' IS ABOUT TO COME!!" and someone adds, "THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO." Chopper cries, "AND WAIT FOR LUFFY RIGHT HERE!!" The group chooses not to rush blindly into Luffy and Lucci's battle. Their role is to protect the path home. Page 14: On the ship, Franky still wants to rejoin the others. "FRANKY..." someone says, but he snaps, "IDIOT. YOUR NAKAMA..." and the danger of the approaching fleet remains in front of him. He shouts for Paulie: "PAULIE, COME BACK!!!" while the others prepare the ship. "MAKE READY..." comes the order. Then someone realizes what Franky is holding: "WHAT ARE YOU PICKING UP THE DENDEN-MUSHI FOR!?" Franky answers the reason immediately: "THIS WAY WE CAN GET AN UPDATE ON THE STRAWHATS!!" Even amid cannon fire, he is trying to keep the scattered allies connected before the next assault arrives.
