## One Piece Chapter 444, pages 9-10: Adventure at Ghost Island - Chapter: 444 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Luffy, Sanji, Nami, Zoro, Robin ### Summary Page 9: Luffy suddenly stands with his face stretched sideways, making a strange "NNM?" Sanji shouts, "HEY, LUFFY!! WHY ARE YOU JOKING AROUND AT A TIME LIKE THIS!?" Luffy insists through the pulled mouth, "NOH, ISN NOH HAT!!" "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!" Sanji demands, "YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING? THEN WHAT'S WITH THAT MOUTH!?" Nami yells from below, "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU FOOLING AROUND!?" Then an animal-like growl cuts through the scene: "GRRR..." and "UWAH!!!" Zoro reacts instantly. Robin says, "AN ANIMAL SOUND...!?" Zoro draws and slashes toward the source with a sharp "SLAH," striking through the air: "HRMM!!?" Page 10: Zoro's strike sweeps through Luffy instead. He warns, "WATCH OUT, STRAW-HAT!!" as the blade cuts past with "ZAKU!!!" Luffy yells, "GHEH!!" Sanji rushes over: "HEY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?" Zoro grimaces, "SORRY!! MY KATANA JUST...!!" Looking at the empty deck, Zoro says, "... IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE... OTHER THAN US... ON THIS DECK...!?" Robin calls the situation "... STRANGE." Sanji wonders, "IS THIS A GHOST'S DOING...? OR IS IT A DEVIL FRUIT USER OR SOMETHING...?" Luffy says, "...!! I DID FEEL SOMETHING TOUCHING ME." Robin connects it with the earlier sound: "... AND I HEARD A BESTIAL HOWL EARLIER." Luffy concludes, "A BEAST!?" while the unseen presence remains unconfirmed.
