## One Piece Chapter 199, pages 14-16: HOPE! - Chapter: 199 - Pages: 14-16 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Crocodile, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 14: A close-up of Crocodile shows him sweating, his eyes wide with realization. "HE COULDN'T HAVE...!? HE..." Crocodile swings his sand blade defensively. Luffy hurtles toward him, spinning like a top. "BUZZSAW!!!" Luffy's spinning attack slams directly into Crocodile's head and shoulder, crushing him into the ground with tremendous force. Blood spurts from Crocodile's mouth as he is overpowered by the strike. Page 15: Luffy bounces off Crocodile from the impact, flying backward through the air with a triumphant laugh, "Shishishi!" He lands safely on his feet, sliding slightly on the ground. "LAND!" Crocodile lies flat on his back, completely floored by the attack. A small voice from the sidelines remarks in shock, "He hit crocodile..." Crocodile remains motionless on the ground, blood dripping from his mouth. Page 16: Luffy stands tall, panting heavily, "PANT PANT," with the water barrel still strapped to his back. Below, the chaotic battle in the plaza continues to rage. Nico Robin watches the fight from a distance, a slight, intrigued smile on her face. "Oh...?" Crocodile slowly sits up, laughing darkly, "Kuku..." A clock tower is shown, ticking away the time. "TOC TOC TOC" Luffy glares at Crocodile, commanding, "Stand."
