## One Piece Chapter 138, pages 13-15: Mountaintop - Chapter: 138 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Luffy, Nami, Sanji ### Summary Page 13: Luffy is nearing the top of the mountain. He is completely exhausted, his face covered in snow, snot running from his nose. He is barely coherent, slurring his words, "DAT... WAZ... CLOSTH...!" He reaches up with a bloody, scraped hand, his fingers digging into the snowy edge of the cliff. "SCRITCH!" He pulls himself up, his face contorted in pain and exhaustion, using every last ounce of his strength to crest the summit. Page 14: Luffy's bloody hand grips the snowy edge of the mountaintop. Drops of blood fall onto the pristine white snow. He pulls his head over the edge, panting heavily. "HANG IN THERE! IT'LL BE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER..." he gasps. "SO DON'T DIE ON ME...!" He pulls himself up further, his eyes wide with exhaustion and determination. "HUFF HUFF". He lets out a final, strained grunt, "NGHHH!", as he finally drags himself and his friends over the edge and onto the flat surface of the mountaintop. Page 15: A massive, magnificent castle stands before Luffy, perched at the very top of the snowy mountain. The castle is highly detailed, with numerous towers, spires, and arched windows, looking like something out of a fairy tale. Luffy, still on his hands and knees in the snow with Nami and Sanji on his back, stares up at the structure in awe. "WHAT A GRAND CASTLE..." he breathes. "WE'RE HERE..." The snow continues to fall gently around them as they finally reach their destination.
