## One Piece Chapter 38, pages 8-10: PIRATE FLEET - Chapter: 38 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Jango, Kaya, Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi, Monkey D. Luffy, Kuro, Black Cat Pirates ### Summary Page 8: Jango stands up, looking around the forest and muttering, "DAMN IT..." Suddenly, Tamanegi leaps from the branches of a large tree above him, wielding his shovel and yelling, "JUMP!" Tamanegi plummets toward Jango, swinging the shovel down with all his might. However, Jango easily sidesteps the attack. With a swift motion, Jango grabs Tamanegi by the collar of his shirt in mid-air. "DON'T GET TOO COCKY," Jango warns coldly. Tamanegi flails and screams in terror, "UWAAAAAHH..." From the safety of the bushes nearby, Kaya, Ninjin, and Piiman watch in horror as their friend is captured. They cry out, "TAMANEGI!!" as Jango holds the struggling boy aloft. Page 9: Hearing the shout from the bushes, Jango turns his head sharply and asks the captive Tamanegi, "HEY! DID YOU HEAR THAT?!" Tamanegi confirms, "I HEARD IT! IT WAS THEIR VOICES," then points the way: "THAT WAY! QUICKLY!!" Jango immediately starts running toward the source of the sound, carrying Tamanegi with him, while the boy says, "OKAY!!" Jango holds Tamanegi up by the neck, his face twisted in anger. "YOU'VE PLAYED YOUR LITTLE PIRATE GAME TOO FAR..." he growls. "SINCE YOU'RE STUPID ENOUGH TO INTERFERE IN A REAL PIRATE'S BUSINESS, YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL AND..." Jango raises his sharp pendulum blade high, preparing to strike the boy. "DIE!! REPENT!!" he shouts. Tamanegi, tears in his eyes, screams back defiantly, "YOU BASTARD!!!" Page 10: Back at the rocky slope, the Black Cat Pirates are desperately pleading with Kuro. "PLEASE STOP JOKING, CAPTAIN KURO!!" one begs. "IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE TO ATTACK THE VILLAGE!!" "AS LONG AS JANGO CAN MAKE THAT GIRL WRITE THE WILL, THE PLAN CAN STILL SUCCEED!!" Kuro stands with his back to them, facing Luffy, and simply replies, "EH... YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE PLAN." He continues, "AS LONG AS YOUR CORPSES ARE HERE, I CAN PLACE ALL THE BLAME ON YOU." Kuro then turns his head to look back at his crew, a sinister smile on his face as he adjusts his glasses. "I NEVER INTENDED TO LET ANY OF YOU LEAVE THE VILLAGE ALIVE," he reveals coldly. "IT WOULD BE TO MY DISADVANTAGE TO LET ANYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT MY PLANS LIVE." The pirates stare at him in absolute horror.
