## One Piece Chapter 104.5, pages 17-19: MIZAKI, THE CITY OF PROMISE - Chapter: 104.5 - Pages: 17-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Laboon, Crocus, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 17: Luffy stands before the massive whale and says, "BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW THE RESULT OF THIS FIGHT. SO WE HAVE TO FIGHT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE." Laboon stares at him silently. Luffy continues, "YOUR FRIENDS ALREADY DIED, BUT I AM STILL ALIVE. WE WILL TRAVEL AROUND GRAND LINE. AND WE WILL COME BACK TO SEE YOU AGAIN." Crocus, Nami, Sanji, and Usopp watch the exchange in awe. Laboon's eye begins to well up with tears. Page 18: Luffy flashes a huge, genuine smile and shouts to the whale, "LET'S FIGHT AGAIN NEXT TIME." Hearing this new promise, Nami, Sanji, Zoro, and Crocus all smile warmly. Laboon, moved by Luffy's words, lets out a joyful, resounding roar: "BO!" The whale's massive form rests peacefully in the water, the tension finally broken. Page 19: Crocus smiles gently as the others look on. Nami explains, "THAT'S WHY HE'S CRYING FOR THEM AND HITTING HIS HEAD AGAINST RED LINE, SO HE CAN GET TO ANOTHER SIDE." Usopp adds, "IT'S BEEN 50 YEARS NOW." Luffy hangs from the palm tree above them, while Crocus agrees, "THAT'S RIGHT." Laboon lets out another happy roar, "BO!" Crocus looks at the whale with affection and concludes, "HE STILL BELIEVES THAT HIS FRIENDS ARE STILL ALIVE." Laboon rests calmly in the water, facing the Red Line, but this time with a sense of peace.
