## One Piece Chapter 28, pages 5-7: THE CRESCENT MOON - Chapter: 28 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Merry, Kuro ### Summary Page 5: Inside the mansion, Merry walks into a room and asks, "Where is Ojou-sama?" Kuro, standing by a bookshelf, replies, "She's already asleep. She looked very tired..." A panel shows Kaya's bed, though she is covered by blankets. Merry sighs, "I cannot believe all this happened when I was away... That Usopp kid is quite a trouble maker." Kuro adjusts his glasses with the palm of his hand and agrees, "Yes, I know. I can't believe that he would even claim that you are a pirate... It's not even a good lie..." He rests his face in his hand, looking exasperated. "Yes... Only an idiot would believe a thing he says..." Page 6: Merry holds out a small wrapped box to Kuro. "Hm? What's this?" Kuro asks. Merry smiles warmly, "Oh... that... That's a present from Ojou-sama. She said it's because tomorrow will be exactly three years since you first came to work at this mansion. She says it's an anniversary." Kuro looks at the box in his hand. Merry continues, "Because your glasses often slip... So Ojou-sama went to the next town personally and ordered this special pair of glasses! She is so nice and caring..." Kuro pulls the new glasses out of the box. "Anniversary..." he mutters. He turns to look out the large window at the night sky. "She calls it an anniversary... Indeed... tomorrow really is a special day... Tonight's moon, it's crescent... On a night like this, every cell in my body becomes excited..." Page 7: A loud "CRASH!!" rings out as Kuro drops the new glasses onto the floor, shattering them. Merry recoils in shock, yelling, "What!!?" He looks down at the broken pieces in disbelief. "Clahador-san, why did you break the present?! Ojou-sama went through so much trouble to get it for you!!" Kuro calmly steps his striped shoe directly onto the broken lenses, crushing them further. He looks back over his shoulder with a sinister expression. "I will ask her for my own presents. But it won't be a small present like this... I want... everything in this house..."
