## One Piece Chapter 56, pages 2-4: AS IF - Chapter: 56 - Pages: 2-4 - Characters: Gin, Zeff, Sanji, Monkey D. Luffy, Patty, Carne ### Summary Page 2: Inside the Baratie, the situation is dire. Gin stands tall, aiming his flintlock pistol directly down at Zeff's head. Zeff is lying face down on the wooden deck, incapacitated. Crucially, Zeff's wooden pegleg has been snapped completely in half, the broken pieces lying near him. Gin coldly states, "HE'S JUST ANOTHER COOK THAT I CAN EASILY KILL AT GUNPOINT NOW. NO MATTER HOW GREAT OF A MAN HE MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST,". In the background, Sanji and Luffy watch the scene unfold. The Baratie cooks, including Patty and Carne, are watching from the sidelines, their faces contorted in shock and anger. They yell out, "SIR!", "SON OF A...!", and "WHY THAT BASTARD! HE BROKE OWNER ZEFF'S PEGLEG!" A close-up panel emphasizes the splintered remains of Zeff's pegleg. Page 3: Luffy is furious, clenching his fists and preparing to charge forward, yelling, "THAT'S IT, I'M GONNA SEND HIM FLYING!" However, Sanji calmly extends an arm across Luffy's chest to stop him, saying, "WAIT. LET'S SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY FIRST." Gin, still holding the gun to Zeff's head, addresses Sanji directly: "YOU WANT TO SAVE THIS MAN, DON'T YOU SANJI? THEN LEAVE THIS SHIP!" Meanwhile, the other cooks express relief, noting, "THANK GOD...! WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF PEARL CONTINUED HIS RAMPAGE! LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN PUT DOWN FOR NOW." Sanji glares back at Gin, his expression hardening. He repeats Gin's demand incredulously, "LEAVE THIS SHIP?" and then flatly refuses with a defiant, "AS IF!" Page 4: A single, silent panel focuses on Monkey D. Luffy's face. The page has no dialogue, only Luffy's quiet reaction after Sanji refuses Gin's demand.
