## One Piece Chapter 247, pages 7-9: Trial of Balls - Chapter: 247 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Usopp, Sanji, Monkey D. Luffy, Satori ### Summary Page 7: Usopp panics, his eyes bugging out and teeth bared as he yells, "WAIT USOPP!! IF WE DON'T STICK TOGETHER, THE RESULT WILL BE THE SAME!!!" He adds, "IF IT'S REALLY GONE IN THIS HUGE FOREST, IT'LL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE IT!!" Sanji, looking stressed, shouts to Luffy, "GO STOP THE BOAT!!" Luffy, cracking his knuckles with a confident grin, replies, "I'LL GO TAKE DOWN THAT ORB GUY!!" Sanji asks, "AND YOU!?" as Luffy prepares to fight. In the bottom panel, Satori is shown from behind, balancing on a large floating orb. He laughs, "HUHUH!! I DON'T THINK SO!! I HAVE LUCK AND HONOR ON MY SIDE!!" He continues to chuckle, "HUHUHHUH~~~~!!!" as he bounces away. Page 8: Sanji, looking tense with a cigarette in his mouth, says, "...!! WE NEED TO DISTRACT HIM...!!" He adds, "EITHER WAY, WE NEED SOMEONE TO STOP THAT DARUMA. DON'T BE RECKLESS!!" A note explains that Daruma means tumbling doll. Luffy, already winding up his arm, stretches it far back, twisting it around itself with a "GURUN GURUN" sound. He yells, "I'LL BE BACK AFTER I STOP THE BOAT!! HE HAS SOME STRANGE POWERS!!" Satori, standing on an orb, notices the attack and says, "OH!!!" Luffy launches his stretched fist forward with immense speed, shouting, "GOMU GOMU...!! PISTOL!!!" The fist rockets toward Satori. Page 9: Luffy's fist shoots forward with a loud "GYUN!!!" but Satori effortlessly leaps off his orb, dodging the attack with a nimble "HIRARI" motion. Satori hums a tune, "HUHUHUH," as he floats in the air. He continues humming "HUHUHU" while gracefully spinning and dancing around Luffy's extended arm. Luffy looks shocked, exclaiming "WHOA!?" as his arm recoils with a "GAKUN!!". Satori then swiftly grabs Luffy's wrist with a "GA SHI!!" and a sinister "HUHUHU HUH....". In a large dynamic panel, Satori violently yanks Luffy's arm, pulling Luffy off balance. Luffy yells "YIK... PUH!!" as he is thrown forward by the force, the impact emphasized by a loud "GOKOON!!!" and "BAFOOOM" sound effects.
