## One Piece Chapter 247, pages 5-7: Trial of Balls - Chapter: 247 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Wapol, Sanji, Nami, Hakowan, Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, Satori ### Summary Page 5: The cover page for chapter 247, titled "TRIAL OF BALLS". The cover story is "WAPOL'S SNACK BANZAI Vol. 10 'I, THE GREAT KING, AM SELLING MATCHES'". The illustration shows Wapol in a snowy town, wearing a ragged, patched-up hooded coat and holding a basket of matches. He holds one lit match up with a desperate, wide-toothed grin. A small dog, Hakowan, sits next to him. In the background, Sanji and Nami are walking by in winter clothing, looking back at Wapol with expressions of mild surprise or confusion. Snow is falling heavily around them. Page 6: The story resumes in the dense, cloud-filled forest of Skypiea. Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp are standing on thick, twisting tree roots or vines. Sanji looks back over his shoulder, while Luffy stares ahead with a serious expression. Usopp is slightly behind them, looking nervous. A voice calls out from off-panel, "COME, COME! IF YOU DON'T MOVE QUICKLY, THE BOAT WILL BE GONE!!" The sound "SA SA SA" indicates rapid movement. In the next large panel, the perspective shifts behind Luffy as he looks out over a massive, winding root structure surrounded by floating spherical clouds. A round figure, Satori, is seen bouncing nimbly among the floating orbs, laughing "HUHUH!!". Sanji yells, "HEY, IF WE DON'T GET THE BOAT BACK...!!" as they watch Satori's erratic movements. Page 7: Usopp panics, his eyes bugging out and teeth bared as he yells, "WAIT USOPP!! IF WE DON'T STICK TOGETHER, THE RESULT WILL BE THE SAME!!!" He adds, "IF IT'S REALLY GONE IN THIS HUGE FOREST, IT'LL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE IT!!" Sanji, looking stressed, shouts to Luffy, "GO STOP THE BOAT!!" Luffy, cracking his knuckles with a confident grin, replies, "I'LL GO TAKE DOWN THAT ORB GUY!!" Sanji asks, "AND YOU!?" as Luffy prepares to fight. In the bottom panel, Satori is shown from behind, balancing on a large floating orb. He laughs, "HUHUH!! I DON'T THINK SO!! I HAVE LUCK AND HONOR ON MY SIDE!!" He continues to chuckle, "HUHUHHUH~~~~!!!" as he bounces away.
