## One Piece Chapter 524, pages 4-5: Nobody Can Stop This Anymore - Chapter: 524 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Brook, Harahettanya villagers, young girl, Nico Robin, Tequila Wolf laborers, Tequila Wolf guards, World Government ### Summary Page 4: Brook wakes in the ritual smoke and wonders, "Just how far did I fly...?" He asks himself, "Did I fly...?" and quickly remembers that he must return because everyone else is in danger. The villagers panic, thinking the demon is about to return to the underworld, and ask if their tribute is lacking or whether he needs a sacrifice or blood. A young girl watches in stunned silence as Brook rises from the smoke. Then Brook's usual nature breaks through the ominous mood: he politely asks, "Excuse me, could you show me your panties?" The villagers misinterpret the request as a demonic command and shout, "Panties!!!" and "Quickly, show him some panties!!!" Brook has landed in desperation and poverty, but his first spoken request is still absurdly Brook. Page 5: The focus shifts to East Blue, the country on a bridge, Tequila Wolf. Robin observes the enormous bridge in a snowy sea and says, "This is a country of laborers..." A foreman points and orders the workers to "Pull!!" while hundreds of chained people haul materials through the snow with a collective "UWOOOOOH...!!!" Robin notes that the workers here are either criminals gathered from every country or citizens of countries that refused to join the World Government. The guards treat them brutally, shouting "You useless piece of...!!!" as they whip and beat exhausted laborers. Someone explains plainly, "Well... they really are slaves..." The page reveals that Robin has been dropped into a massive forced-labor project hidden inside the Government's world.
