## One Piece Chapter 32, pages 11-13: GRAVE DANGER - Chapter: 32 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Nami, Usopp, Roronoa Zoro, Sham, Buchi ### Summary Page 11: Watching Zoro struggle against the relentless dual assault, Nami panics. "OH NO! ZORO CAN'T HANDLE THEM!" she cries out. Beside her, Usopp makes a sudden decision. He pulls back the band of his slingshot, taking aim at the fight. Nami turns to him in alarm, asking, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Usopp, sweating but determined, explains his reasoning: "HE CAN'T COUNTER WITH TWO PEOPLE ATTACKING HIM!! I'M GOING TO HELP HIM!" With a fierce yell, Usopp releases the slingshot. "EAT THIS! 'NAMARII-BOSHI'!!" he shouts as a lead pellet shoots forward. The projectile flies rapidly toward the chaotic melee where Zoro is desperately trying to fend off the continuous claw attacks from Sham and Buchi. Page 12: As Usopp's lead pellet flies toward the combatants, Sham's sharp senses detect the incoming projectile. In a split-second, devious move, Sham grabs Zoro by the shoulders and violently twists him around, using the swordsman's body as a human shield. Usopp watches in absolute horror, his eyes bugging out as he screams, "AH?!" The pellet strikes Zoro squarely in the back. Zoro lets out a pained "UGH!!" as the impact hits him. Sham, peering over Zoro's shoulder, smiles wickedly at the success of his cruel tactic. "HE'S DISTRACTED!!" Sham declares, taking full advantage of Zoro's momentary stun from the friendly fire to press his attack. Page 13: Capitalizing on Zoro's distraction from the pellet strike, Sham delivers a vicious, sweeping slash across Zoro's chest with his claws. Zoro cries out, "UWAHH!!!" as blood sprays from the fresh wound, and he collapses backward onto the rocky ground. Usopp is devastated by what he's just caused. "HE... HE..." Usopp stammers, trembling. "HOW COULD YOU HIT HIM!?" Nami is equally shocked, realizing the tactical manipulation. "HE DELIBERATELY BLOCKED IT WITH HIS BODY...!!" Usopp says, horrified. Nami confirms, "HE DID THAT...?!!" Zoro lies on the ground, clutching his bleeding chest, groaning in pain, "NO... NO...!! UGH..." The reality of Sham's cunning and ruthless fighting style sinks in for the onlookers.
