## One Piece Chapter 18, pages 21-22: BUGGY, 'THE CLOWN PIRATE' - Chapter: 18 - Pages: 21-22 - Characters: Buggy, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 21: Buggy looks shocked as he examines the hat, exclaiming, "WHAT? THIS IS SHANKS'S HAT?!" and "I THOUGHT IT LOOKED FAMILIAR...!!". In the next panel, Buggy casually spits on the hat with a "CROT!" and "SPIT!" sound effect. He says, "ME AND THAT GUY USED TO BE IN THE SAME PIRATE SHIP." and "TO REPHRASE THAT...". Luffy looks stunned, sweat forming on his face, with a "!!" bubble. Buggy continues, "HE WAS MY COMRADE WHEN WE WERE STILL PIRATE TRAINEES." In the bottom right, Luffy yells angrily, "SHANKS IS A GREAT MAN... YOU SAY THAT HE WAS YOUR COMRADE!?". In the bottom left, Buggy's head detaches and floats upward with a "POP!!" sound, shouting, "BARA BARA EMERGENCY ESCAPE!!". Page 22: A large, dynamic panel dominates the page. Luffy delivers a devastating, high-impact kick directly to Buggy's lower half, specifically targeting his groin. Luffy shouts furiously, "DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH HIM!" The powerful strike is emphasized by heavy action lines, a large "SFX: CRACK!!" sound effect, and massive sound effect characters. In the top left corner, Buggy's floating head reacts to the strike with bulging eyes and a shocked "!!!?". The bottom panel shows a close-up of Buggy's face, completely contorted in agonizing pain.
