Luffy, Kuro, Jango, Black Cat Pirates, Usopp, Kaya, Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi ### Summary 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?!" Page 4: This page features a single, small illustration of Usopp. He is drawn from the chest up, wearing his usual overalls and a checkered bandana over his curly hair. He has a wide, cheerful smile on his face, his eyes closed happily. In his right hand, he holds a paintbrush dripping with white paint. A small musical note floats next to his head, indicating that he is whistling or humming a happy tune. The rest of the page is blank white space. Page 5: In the forest, Jango swings his bladed pendulum back and forth with a "SFX: SWING...!!" He glares down menacingly, commanding, "OPEN YOUR EYES, LITTLE GIRL!!!" Kaya sits on the ground before him, her eyes squeezed tightly shut, sweating nervously. She defiantly refuses, "NO. I WON'T LET YOU HYPNOTIZE ME. I WON'T WRITE THE WILL." Jango crouches down to her level, holding the pendulum ready, trying to force her compliance. In the background, the three young boys from Usopp's crew--Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi--are lying flat on the ground, seemingly unconscious or asleep, with "SFX: ZZZ... ZZZ..." floating above them. Jango appears to have the upper hand, believing the kids are out of the picture and focusing entirely on breaking Kaya's resistance. Page 6: Suddenly, Kaya grabs her face and screams, "AHHH...!!" Jango is startled by the sudden movement. He quickly decides, "IF THAT'S THE CASE, I'LL HAVE TO OPEN THEM BY FORCE!" But before he can act, he is hit by a sudden attack and begins sneezing violently, "HACHOO!! HACHOO!! ARGHH!!" The three kids, Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi, spring up from the ground, revealing they were faking their sleep. They throw a cloud of pepper directly into Jango's face, shouting, "BLIND PEPPER!!!" and "HERE'S OUR CHANCE!" Jango reels backward, clutching his face in agony as his eyes burn, screaming, "OWWWWW!!! UGH! AHHHH!!" Seizing the opportunity, one of the boys leaps into the air with a shovel, yelling, "AND ANOTHER!!" He brings the handle of the shovel down hard, striking Jango directly in the crotch. Jango's eyes bug out behind his glasses as he shrieks, "OH MOTHER!!!"
