## One Piece Chapter 72, pages 17-19: TO EACH HIS OWN POSITION - Chapter: 72 - Pages: 17-19 - Characters: Arlong, Usopp, Fishmen, Villagers, Nojiko, Kuroobi ### Summary Page 17: With incredible strength, Arlong smashes the base of the building Usopp is standing on. The entire structure begins to collapse, and Usopp screams in terror, "AGHHHHHHH!" The other fishmen panic, trying to stop their captain. "A-ARLONG, WAIT! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DESTROY ANOTHER VILLAGE, ARE YOU!? HUMAN VILLAGES ARE EASY TO CRUSH BUT OUR GOAL'S TO RULE OVER THEM! IF WE TURN THIS TOWN INTO ANOTHER GOSA VILLAGE, THEN OUR TRIBUTE FUNDS WILL DECREASE AGAIN!" Arlong answers coldly, "IF OUR FUNDS DECREASE, THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS CONQUER ANOTHER VILLAGE!" Page 18: The building crashes to the ground in a massive cloud of dust and debris. Arlong stands amidst the destruction, roaring, "WE ARE THE SUPREME BEINGS!" The villagers watch in shock and horror. "OUR VILLAGE IS...!" Nojiko stares wide-eyed, exclaiming, "HE'S...!" Page 19: Usopp emerges from the dust cloud, running for his life and crying, "CRAP!!! HE'S GONNA KILL ME! HE'S GONNA KILL ME!" The fishmen spot him. "HE'S STILL ALIVE! AFTER HIM! DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!" Arlong orders his crew, "CATCH HIM AND KILL HIM!" His crewmates urge, "LET'S RETURN HIM TO ARLONG PARK FOR NOW! AT THIS RATE, HE'S GOING TO ANNIHILATE THIS ENTIRE VILLAGE!" Kuroobi looks back at the villagers and says, "WE'LL BE BACK. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE MANAGED TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY." The Arlong Pirates begin to leave the village.
