## One Piece Chapter 38, pages 0-3: PIRATE FLEET - Chapter: 38 - Pages: 0-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Kuro, Black Cat Pirates, Jango ### Summary Page 0: The title page for Chapter 38, titled "PIRATE FLEET", features a peaceful picnic scene in a mountainous landscape. Monkey D. Luffy sits atop a large, white, fluffy goat with curved horns, his hands cupped around his mouth as if shouting. Next to him, Usopp stands tall, blowing into a large, striped conch shell, a gourd hanging from his waist. On the ground, a pink picnic blanket is spread out. Nami sits on the blanket, wearing a striped top and boots, holding a map and a pencil. She looks up at Usopp with an annoyed or surprised expression, gesturing with her hand. Behind the goat, Roronoa Zoro sits or reclines beside the picnic items and swords, facing away from the group. The picnic blanket is scattered with items: a basket full of sandwiches, several books, rolled-up maps, and Zoro's swords. The background shows a clear sky, distant mountains, and a few more goats grazing in the grass. Page 1: This is a full-color version of the previous title page. The scene is vibrant, showing the crew enjoying a picnic in a lush, green mountainous area under a blue sky with fluffy clouds. Luffy, wearing his signature straw hat and red vest, sits on the back of a large white goat, yelling with his hands around his mouth. Usopp, in brown overalls and a green bandana, stands beside the goat, blowing loudly into a large, red-and-white striped conch shell. Nami, wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt and an orange skirt, sits on a pink blanket, holding a map and pencil, looking exasperatedly at Usopp. Zoro rests behind the goat near the basket, swords, and picnic items, facing away from the others with one hand near his head. The picnic blanket holds a basket of food, books, maps, and swords. The background features snow-capped mountains and pine trees. Page 2: Back at the rocky slope, a massive impact occurs with a loud "SFX: DOSUU...SO!!" as Luffy stands victorious over Kuro, who lies in the shattered ground after the hit. Luffy, looking down at him, says, "NOW YOU ONLY HAVE FIVE OF THOSE WEIRD CLAWS LEFT." In the next panel, Luffy turns his head, flashing a confident, wide smile. Below, Kuro is shown in profile, his head bowed slightly as he pushes his glasses up with the palm of his hand, muttering a quiet "TSU..." The remaining Black Cat Pirates watch the scene unfold in absolute shock. One of them stammers, "THAT KID..." while another exclaims in disbelief, "CAPTAIN KURO'S 'CAT'S CLAWS' WERE...!!" The pirates are visibly shaken by Luffy's strength and the fact that he managed to break Kuro's weapons. Page 3: The Black Cat Pirates suddenly erupt into cheers, rallying behind their former captain. "CAPTAIN KURO! YOU STILL HAVE ONE HAND OF 'CAT'S CLAWS' LEFT! KILL THE KID!!" one yells. Another quickly corrects him, "HEY, DON'T CALL HIM CAPTAIN KURO!" A third adds, "HIS NAME IN THE VILLAGE IS CLAHADUDU... SOMETHING." They settle on a new name, cheering, "OKAY THEN, WE SHOULD CALL HIM CLAHA-SAN. CLAHA-SAN! KILL HIM!!" Kuro stands silently, his remaining five bladed claws extended, a dark aura surrounding him with a menacing "SFX: GOOO..." He coldly commands, "SHUT UP...!!!" The pirates fall silent as Kuro continues, "AFTER THIS IS DONE, ALL OF YOU MUST DIE... AND JANGO IS NO EXCEPTION..." Jango and the rest of the crew are completely taken aback, their faces twisting in shock and confusion. "!!?" "WHAT?!" "WHY DO WE HAVE TO DIE TOO?" they cry out. Even Luffy looks surprised by this sudden betrayal, exclaiming, "WHAT?!"
