## One Piece Chapter 654, pages 11-12: Gam - Chapter: 654 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Brook, Laboon, Thousand Sunny, Straw Hat Pirates, Franky, Sanji, Nico Robin, Nami ### Summary Page 11: Luffy sees the giant black whale before anyone else and screams, "Laboon!!!" Brook is stunned too. In the memory of Laboon, Luffy once promised, "Laboon! We'll travel right round the world and come straight back here!!!" and Brook remembers, "Laboon!!! You've grown so much...!!" The thought is impossible almost immediately. Laboon should still be back in the first half of the Grand Line, and he could not even pass through the hole in the Red Line with a body that size. The whale before them is enormous and scarred in a familiar way, but it is not necessarily the same whale. The encounter throws Luffy and Brook back to one of the crew's oldest promises. Page 12: The crew realizes they have run into a group of island whales out of the blue. Brook, overwhelmed, sings, "Going to deliver Binks' Sake," calling out, "Laboon!! Wait!! Listen, please!! It's me, Brook!!!" but the others tell him to get a grip because he has the wrong whale. Several of the whales have wounds on their heads just like Laboon did, and Luffy cannot believe they are really not Laboon. Franky reminds everyone that before enjoying the view, they need to make sure nobody was lost in the vortex. Sanji begins roll call, asking Robin and Nami for confirmations, and tells the crew to get moving before one of the whales bumps them and damages the Sunny.
