## One Piece Chapter 18, pages 9-11: Buggy, 'The Clown Pirate' - Chapter: 18 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Buggy, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 9: Buggy continues his thought from the previous page, yelling, "IS MOST LIKELY IMPOSSIBLE!!" as he throws more knives. Luffy is shown suspended in mid-air, surrounded by flying daggers, looking momentarily caught off guard. However, in the next panel, Luffy smiles broadly and says, "WHY NOT?" as he extends his right arm far across the street. With an "SFX: STREEEETCH..." sound, his hand reaches a nearby building and grips a wooden window frame with a "GRAB!" sound effect. Using his stretched arm, Luffy shouts "PULL!" and yanks his entire body out of the path of the knives, flying through the air with an "SFX: SWOOSH!!" as Buggy watches in disbelief. Page 10: Buggy's eyes widen in shock as he realizes what just happened. He exclaims, "OHO!! SO, YOU CAN DO THINGS LIKE THAT!! HOW INTERESTING!!" Luffy lands safely on the ground with a "PLOP..." sound effect, his right arm still stretched far behind him. He replies, "YOU'RE AN INTERESTING PERSON TOO." and begins to chant, "GOMU GOMU..." In a large, dynamic panel, Luffy snaps his stretched arm forward, launching a powerful punch while shouting, "PISTOL!!" The giant fist hurtles toward Buggy. In the bottom right, Buggy's head suddenly detaches from his neck and flies upward, narrowly dodging the incoming fist. In the bottom left panel, Buggy's detached hand, still gripping a knife, is shown as he says, "IT'S AN INTERESTING ABILITY, BUT...!!" Page 11: Buggy, with his head floating above his shoulders, raises his knives and targets Luffy's extended arm, declaring, "AN ARM THAT'S STRETCHED TO ITS LIMIT...! IS FULL OF WEAKNESSES!" In a close-up panel, Buggy's detached hand, identifiable by its striped sleeve, tightly grabs Luffy's stretched arm with an "SFX: GRAB". Buggy grins wickedly and yells, "I'LL TEAR IT TO SHREDS...!!" However, in the bottom panel, Buggy's confident expression turns to confusion as he exclaims, "HUH!!?" A voice calls out "GOMU GOMU" with an "SFX: SWING" sound effect, as motion lines indicate a sudden, rapid movement off-panel, catching Buggy completely off guard before he can slice the arm.
