## One Piece Chapter 171, pages 4-6: The Rebellion's Leader, Kouza - Chapter: 171 - Pages: 4-6 - Characters: Kouza, King Cobra, Rebels, older man, Civilians ### Summary Page 4: The scene shifts to an establishing shot of a desert city with the caption "Katorea, current base for the rebels". A voice calls out from off-panel, "KOUZA! WAIT FOR US TOO!" Kouza is seen riding his dark horse furiously across the desert sands. A rebel questions, "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?" As Kouza rides, he recalls a memory of King Cobra telling him, "Trust in the king, Kouza." Kouza's expression is one of intense anger and betrayal as he thinks, gritting his teeth, "HAVE YOU REALLY SUNK SO LOW, COBRA!?" Page 5: In a flashback or earlier time, Kouza speaks with an older man. Kouza says, "You should know first-hand just how much the king cares for his subjects...!" The older man replies, "...Only the old folks still say that. I personally don't care for him at all. It wasn't for the king's sake, That I decided to come here to Yuba and help you, dad." Elsewhere, rebels converse among themselves. "Did you hear the rebels now number over 100,000...?" "Yeah, I heard..." "There's been lots of casualties too..." A large group of rebels raises their weapons and cheers, "OHHH!" Another rebel says, "Hmph, don't listen to the nay-sayers. Their doubts will easily be washed away once the rain comes..." "Haha..." A rebel leader with goggles shouts, "DON'T RETREAT!" Page 6: Scenes of the severe drought are shown. People look at a dried-up canal in despair. "THIS IS TERRIBLE! THE IRRIGATION CANALS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED! WHO WOULD'VE DONE SUCH A THING!? NOW THE TOWN'S CUT OFF FROM WATER!" A dry water tap drips nothing onto the cracked earth. "If only the rain would come..." "It's already been over a year since it last rained..." A child cries loudly, "WAHHHH!" A man tends to a wounded person on the ground. "THIS MAN IS CRITICALLY WOUNDED! HE NEEDS TREATMENT AT ONCE!" Kouza looks on with a serious, pained expression. A voice tells him, "I hear Erumalu's a ghost town now. Don't lose faith, Kouza. The rain will come."
