Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Boodle, Buggy, Cabaji, Buggy Pirates, Mohji, Richie ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays "Chapter 15: GONG". The illustration shows Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and Nami riding a massive, shaggy, mammoth-like creature with large curved tusks. Luffy is playfully hanging upside down from one of the creature's tusks, grinning widely. Zoro is draped upside down across the creature's other tusk, with his swords hanging at his side. Nami sits comfortably on top of the creature's head, looking forward. In the background, a volcanic mountain and other similar mammoth creatures can be seen roaming the landscape. Page 1: A large, armored man stands defiantly in front of a building with a sign reading "Drinker Pub". He holds a long spear or lance, planting it firmly on the ground with a loud "DA-DOOM!!" sound effect. Buggy the Clown, looking irritated, demands, "WHO ARE YOU... AND WHAT'S YOUR DEATH WISH?" The armored man, revealed to be Mayor Boodle with his glasses and mustache, shouts back furiously, "I'M BOODLE, AND I'VE BEEN MAYOR OF THIS TOWN SINCE YOU WERE PILLAGING NURSERIES!" He declares loudly, "I'M HERE TO CHALLENGE YOU!" Nearby, a man with hair covering half his face and wearing a checkered scarf, Cabaji, observes the exchange quietly, murmuring "Hmm" and "...". Page 2: Buggy's pirate crew erupts into uproarious laughter at Boodle's challenge. "BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" and "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" fill the air as they mock the mayor. One pirate points and laughs, asking, "DOES HE REALLY THINK HE CAN BEAT THE CAPTAIN!?" Meanwhile, Cabaji takes a swig from a bottle with a "GLUP" sound. He calls out, "CAP'N BUGGY..." Buggy turns to him, asking, "WHAT IS IT, CABAJI?" Cabaji calmly requests, "LEAVE HIM TO ME, SIR." Cabaji then begins to draw his sword with a "SIK SIK SIK" sound. The crew cheers excitedly, "WHY, KEELHAUL ME! IT'S CABAJI THE ACROBAT!" and "YAAY!" With a sudden "SPROING!" and "FWUP FWUP FWUP", Cabaji leaps into the air, mounting a unicycle. A pirate watches in awe, exclaiming, "LOOK AT 'IM GO!" Page 3: Cabaji balances skillfully on his unicycle, holding his curved sword ready. A spinning top hovers near the blade with a "WSSH WSSH" sound. He remarks, "IT'S BEEN A WHILE." A close-up shows his smirking face as he adds, "I DON'T WANT TO GET RUSTY...!" He lands the unicycle smoothly with a "TA-DA". A caption box introduces him as "BUGGY'S SECOND MATE CABAJI THE ACROBAT". The pirate crew continues to cheer wildly, pumping their fists and shouting, "AYE! GO GET 'IM, CABAJI!!!" and "CABAJI!! CABAJI!!" Boodle watches the acrobat silently, his expression stern and unwavering behind his glasses. However, Buggy is not pleased with the interference. He glares and snaps at Cabaji, "AVAST, FOOL! HE CHALLENGED ME!" and orders, "YOU STAY OUT OF THIS." Page 4: A pirate in the crowd complains, "ARG! WE WON'T BE SEEING CABAJI'S ACROBATIC SHOW!" while Cabaji stands silently in the background. Buggy points an accusing finger at Boodle, asking, "WHY ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME!? A LITTLE OLD TO BE MAKING A NAME FOR YOURSELF, AREN'T YOU?" Boodle yells back with fierce determination, "THIS TOWN IS MY TREASURE, AND I'M GOING TO PROTECT IT!!!" Buggy pauses, confused, uttering a simple "HUH?" before bursting into hysterical laughter. "GYA HA HA HA HA HA," he cackles, throwing his arms wide. "YOU SENILE OLD FOOL! THE ONLY TREASURE HERE IS FOR TERMITES! GOLD AND JEWELS ARE TREASURE! TREASURE SPARKLES AND MAKES ITS POSSESSOR A KING!" In the bottom panel, Buggy's disembodied hand flies toward Boodle as Buggy shouts, "THIS DUMP OF YOURS DOESN'T SPARKLE, IT ROTS! ENOUGH OF YOUR NONSENSE!!!" Boodle stares in shock at the approaching floating hand. Page 5: Boodle screams furiously at Buggy, his face taking up the entire top panel, "SHUT UP, YOU SEA SQUIRT! I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS FOR THIS TOWN!!!" From his vantage point on the roof, Buggy looks down as Boodle demands, "NOW GET DOWN HERE!" Buggy glares back, retorting, "GET DOWN THERE? WHY SHOULD I!?" With a "WOOSH", Buggy thrusts his hand forward. In the bottom panel, Boodle gasps "!!?" as Buggy's disembodied hand rockets toward him with a "THR" sound effect. Page 6: Buggy's disembodied hand grabs Boodle by the throat, lifting him completely off the ground in front of the Drinker Pub. Boodle kicks his legs, choking with "GACK GACK!" sounds. From the roof, Buggy laughs maniacally, "HYAAA HA HA HA HA!!" while a pirate cheers, "AYE, CAP'N!!" A close-up shows the floating hand tightly gripping Boodle's neck as the mayor gasps, "Y-YOU... M-MONSTER!!!" Struggling for air, Boodle chokes out, "TH-THIS IS......N-NOTHING!" and begins desperately punching the hand holding him. "WAP WAP WAP" sound effects surround him as he strikes. He continues to flail, yelling "ARRGGH!" as he inadvertently punches himself in the neck area trying to hit the hand. Buggy laughs...
