Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Klahadore (Kuro), Kaya, unidentified guard, Usopp, Merry ### Summary Page 0: A cover page illustration shows Nami sitting comfortably on the back of a giant, coiled snake. She is eating an apple and holding her staff. The snake has a bandage on its head, a black eye, and looks exhausted, sweating with its tongue hanging out. A small bird sits in a nest resting on the snake's tail. The chapter title reads "CHAPTER 24" and "THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T LIE ABOUT". Page 1: Three young boys from the Usopp Pirate Group, Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi, are running frantically down a dirt path in the village. SFX: running sounds. Tamanegi, wearing glasses, says, "CAPTAIN BROUGHT THE PIRATES HERE!" and "YUP, I SAW THEM". The three boys peek cautiously around the corner of a building. SFX: rustle. Piiman asks, "HEY TAMANEGI! DID THE PIRATES REALLY GO INTO THIS SHOP?" Ninjin, holding a wooden sword, declares, "THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS BATTLE SINCE WE STARTED THE 'USOPP PIRATE GROUP'!" Tamanegi panics, "IDIOT! IT'S ONIBABA THAT EATS PEOPLE!! NINJIN, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO DIE!" Piiman adds, "BUT REAL PIRATES ARE SAVAGES, HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN EATEN...!! WE MUST SAVE HIM!!" A small note at the bottom explains: "ONIBABA MEANS DEMON HAG OR WITCH". Page 2: The three boys burst through the swinging doors of the restaurant. SFX: "SLAM!!" and "BA--N". They yell, "IS HERE!!" but then stop in confusion, saying, "EH?" "?" "USOPP PIRATE GROUP...". They look around in shock, sweating. "IT CAN'T BE THAT... HE'S BEEN EATEN UP...!!" "HEY... CAPTAIN ISN'T HERE...". At a table, Luffy is casually drinking from a cup, while Nami looks over. Luffy asks, "WHO ARE THEY...?" and Nami replies, "I DON'T KNOW", "WHAT...?". Zoro turns around in his chair to look at the kids. The boys point their wooden swords at the crew and yell, "GIVE US BACK OUR CAPTAIN!!" "WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR CAPTAIN USOPP?!" "H... HEY PIRATES!!" Page 3: Nami smiles sweetly at the boys, saying, "HUH... MEAT...?! CHIHI!" The boys recoil in terror, "HE..HE ATE THE CAPTAIN...?!". Luffy continues eating happily, "WHAT A DELICIOUS MEAT! YUM YUM! PROK...". Zoro leans his head on his hand, giving a sinister, shadowed smile. SFX: "DO--N". He says simply, "ATE HIM". The boys are paralyzed with fear. "WE JUST..." "WH... WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU DO...!?" "YOUR CAPTAIN...". In the next panel, the boys run away screaming at the top of their lungs, "GYAAAAAA- AAAAHHHHH! ONIBABA!! AAAA....!!!" Zoro and Luffy burst into laughter, "HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA!!" Nami, enraged with sharp shark teeth, hits them both on the head. "BAM!" She yells, "WHY DID YOU TELL THEM THOSE WEIRD THINGS?!? WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?!!" Page 4: The three boys are now sitting at the table with Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. Zoro rests his head on his hand and says, "YUP... AFTER HE SAID THAT, HE LEFT THE SHOP". Nami asks, "'IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN'...?". Luffy asks the boys, "WHY DOES HE GO THERE?" One of the boys replies, "YUP". Nami realizes, "MANSION? THE PLACE WHERE THE SICK GIRL LIVES?" A boy confirms, "OH, SO IT WAS TIME TO GO TO THE MANSION". Luffy looks confused, "EEEH?". The boys enthusiastically explain, "YES!! IT'S VERY GOOD!!" "NA!" "THAT'S NOT BAD! ACTUALLY, IT'S GREAT!" Luffy asks, "ISN'T THAT A BAD THING TO DO? TO TELL LIES!" Page 5: A large, impressive mansion is shown outside the village. A caption reads, "A MANSION OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE". A stern-looking man in a black suit and glasses stands in front of it. He says, "SO, YOU WANT TO......TALK TO USOPP AGAIN?". Inside, a young blonde woman named Kaya looks out her window. She replies, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? I WANT TO TALK TO HIM". The man, adjusting his glasses, says, "HE'S THE BIGGEST LIAR IN THE VILLAGE! IF YOU TALK TO HIM... YOU MIGHT CATCH HIS BAD INFLUENCE...!". Kaya interrupts, "NO! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU,". A full-body shot of the man shows him holding a tray with a towel. SFX: "DON". A caption identifies him: "BUTLER OF THE MANSION CLAHADOR". Page 6: Kaya is sitting up in her bed, looking annoyed. A caption identifies her: "MANSION'S OWNER KAYA". She says, "YES, CALL ME WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT I'M NOT CHANGING MY MIND. PETTY!". Klahadore pushes his glasses up with the palm of his hand. SFX: "SRET". He says, "THAT I MUST PROTECT KAYA-OJOUSAMA... PLEASE LISTEN TO ME... WHEN YOUR PARENTS PASSED AWAY, THEY SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED ME...". Kaya argues, "BUT I'M FEELING OKAY!". Klahadore stands firmly by her bed, "TO A WEAK YOUNG OJOUSAMA LIKE YOU, USOPP'S WEIRD STORIES ARE JUST TOO EXCITING". A note at the bottom reads: "REMEMBER, OJOUSAMA MEANS MISTRESS". Page 7: Kaya looks down sadly, "............". A flashback shows Klahadore standing at the mansion gates with another large guard. Klahadore's voiceover says, "THEY'RE THERE TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY. THAT IS WHY I HIRED SOME GUARDS". Back in...
