Luffy, Buggy ### Summary Page 14: The top panel features a close-up of Zoro's intense, determined face. A large "VEN!!" sound effect emphasizes his fierce expression. He corrects Cabaji, saying, "YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG. WHAT I'M TIRED OF... ARE YOUR STUPID CIRCUS TRICKS!!!" In the middle right panel, Cabaji recovers his footing, looking enraged. He grips his sword tightly with a "WSH!!" sound and declares, "...! VERY WELL! NO MORE TRICKS! I'LL FINISH YOU NOW... WITH MY REAL SWORDSMANSHIP!!!" Two small vertical panels show reactions: Luffy watches intently with a serious expression, and below him, Buggy looks on with wide, shocked eyes. In the bottom left panel, Zoro shifts into a low stance, crossing his two hand-held swords in front of him while gripping the third in his mouth. A "SWURP" sound effect accompanies his movement as he begins to call out his attack, "ONI...". Page 15: This page is a dramatic, full-page splash panel capturing the climax of the battle. Zoro is shown in the foreground from behind, having just dashed past his opponent with blinding speed. His arms are spread wide, his swords extended outward after delivering a devastating cross-slash. In the background, Cabaji is suspended mid-air, his body reeling backward as a massive spray of blood erupts from his chest. A huge "GIRI!!!*" sound effect fills the upper right corner, completing the name of Zoro's attack, alongside a sharp "!!!" burst near the wounded Cabaji. Intense speed lines radiate outward, emphasizing the explosive power and swiftness of the strike. A small note in the bottom left margin explains, "* ONIGIRI = 'DEMON SLASH!'". Page 16: In the top panel, Luffy smiles cheerfully. Next to him, Buggy looks shocked and furious, his eyes wide as he screams, "CABAJI!!!!" In the middle panel, Cabaji falls backward, blood spraying from his chest wound, his checkered scarf trailing in the air. He thinks to himself, "GGH...! HOW COULD THESE COMMON THIEVES HAVE BEATEN US? WE'RE THE BUGGY PIRATE GANG--THE SCOURGE OF THE SEAS!!" Another bubble near him reads, "HOW COULD THINGS HAVE GONE THIS FAR...?" In the background, Zoro stands victorious, holding his swords. In the bottom right panel, Cabaji hits the ground hard with a loud "FWUMP!!", kicking up a cloud of dust. Zoro stands nearby, looking down at him. In the bottom left panel, a close-up shows Zoro panting heavily with "HUF HUF" sounds and sweating profusely. He pulls off his dark bandana with a "FWOMP" sound and says, "WE'RE NOT COMMON THIEVES..." Page 17: A large top panel shows the aftermath of the battle. Zoro finishes his statement from the previous page, shouting, "WE'RE PIRATES!" Large sound effect letters fill the background. Cabaji lies face down and unconscious in the foreground. Zoro drops his two swords to the ground, producing "KLANK KLANK" sound effects. In the background, Luffy and Buggy stand watching. In the bottom right panel, Zoro collapses onto his back in the dirt, completely exhausted and sweating. He says, "LUFFY... I'M GOING TO SLEEP NOW." In the bottom middle panel, Luffy replies, "GO AHEAD AND SLEEP!" In the bottom left panel, Luffy smiles confidently, punching his fist into his open palm with a "TOING" sound. He declares, "I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE!"
