## One Piece Chapter 27, pages 18-19: THE PLOT - Chapter: 27 - Pages: 18-19 - Characters: Kaya, Merry, villagers, Usopp, Tamanegi, Piiman, Ninjin ### Summary Page 18: Kaya is shown holding Merry's arm, having pushed the gun away to ruin his aim. She yells, "You almost hit him!!" Merry, still holding the smoking gun, replies, "But... he was hurting you, Ojou-sama..." The angry villagers run down the street, chasing after Usopp. They shout, "Usopp is getting away!" and "Bastard! Stay still!!" A close-up shows Usopp's hand clutching his left arm, which is bleeding from a graze wound. He mutters, "Damn it..." as blood falls with a "DRIP DRIP". Usopp runs frantically, tears in his eyes, thinking, "Why won't they believe me!?" The villagers continue their pursuit, yelling, "Hey, stop!!" and "Usopp, you're not going to get away!!" Merry stands at the mansion gate, pointing down the road and shouting to the villagers, "Don't let him get away! Everybody, he went that way!" In a small panel below, Kaya collapses to her knees with a "DROP". Merry rushes to her side, asking, "Ah! Ojou-sama, are you alright?" Page 19: A wide view shows the quiet village outskirts. Usopp walks alone down a dirt path, his head hung low. A thought bubble reads, "Jango... will attack the village, when dawn breaks!" A bird flies overhead, cawing "KA... KA..." Usopp stops and looks back over his shoulder toward the village, his expression somber. He thinks, "Idiots....!" A close-up shows Usopp's face; he is crying, his teeth gritted in frustration and despair as he groans, "UUUUGH.....!!!" In the bottom left panel, Usopp's young crewmates, Tamanegi, Piiman, and Ninjin, are waiting by a wooden fence. One of them waves and calls out, "OI! CAPTAIN USOPP!!!" Usopp looks up in surprise.
