## One Piece Chapter 36, pages 10-12: HUNTED!! - Chapter: 36 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Buchi, Usopp, Monkey D. Luffy, Kuro, Sham ### Summary Page 10: Buchi leaps high into the air, his claws extended, shouting "SHHYAAAA!!" as he descends towards Zoro. Zoro quickly draws his swords, "DON'T GET IN THE WAY. WE'RE..." He swings his blades upward with a powerful "GUIII..." sound. Zoro strikes Buchi squarely in the chest with a devastating blow, "DOSUUUN...!!" The impact sends Buchi crashing down. Zoro stands over the defeated pirate, his swords still drawn and ready. "YOU'VE MESSED AROUND ENOUGH...!! IN A HURRY. I WON'T KILL YOU, IF YOU JUST LIE DOWN QUIETLY!!" Zoro warns him. Page 11: Buchi collapses heavily onto the ground with a "DOSA...!!" sound, defeated. Usopp is still struggling on the ground, trembling and unable to stand. "I CAN'T... MOVE MY BODY...!!" he thinks in despair. Luffy looks at him with concern, shouting, "USOPP!!" Usopp curses his own weakness, "DA... DAMN IT!!" Kuro looks down at Usopp and mocks him. "EVEN IF YOU CAN CATCH UP WITH JANGO, YOU'RE STILL NO MATCH FOR HIM. IT'S PROBABLY SAFER FOR YOU TO LIE DOWN HERE, ANYWAY." Kuro then bursts into cruel, mocking laughter, "HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH... YOU'RE A JOKE!!" Page 12: Usopp, tears streaming down his bruised and battered face, grits his teeth in sheer determination. "EVEN IF I'M NO MATCH FOR HIM... I'LL STILL PROTECT THEM...!!! I WILL PROTECT THEM!!!!" he vows internally. Luffy looks at Usopp with a serious, intense expression. Zoro also looks back at him, saying softly, "USOPP..." Kuro stops laughing and looks annoyed, "AH?" Suddenly, a loud "BAM!!" is heard. Sham, the skinny cat pirate, leaps towards Zoro from behind, claws extended, screaming "SHYAAA!!!" Zoro quickly turns, his swords clashing against Sham's claws with a sharp "GINN!!" sound. Sham yells "ARRGHH!!!" as he is repelled by Zoro's block.
