Luffy, King Cobra, Mr. 7, Miss Father's Day ### Summary Page 0: The cover page displays the chapter title, "Chapter 205 'Sand Sand Gang's Secret Base'". The illustration is part of a cover story series, captioned at the bottom: "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 20 'THE DECEIVED HACHI IS ENRAGED!'". It features the octopus fish-man Hachi standing atop a massive, flat octopus. Hachi looks furious, his mouth wide open in a yell, as he holds up a torn piece of cloth or headband in his multiple hands. The background shows swirling water currents. Page 1: The page opens with a chaotic battlefield in the city square. In the top panel, Zoro and Sanji sprint through the intense fighting between the royal army and the rebels. Zoro runs with one of his swords drawn, while Sanji keeps pace beside him. A loud roar of "WAAAAAA" fills the air as they dash forward. Speech bubbles urge, "HURRY! HURRY!" accompanied by the heavy breathing of "Huff... Huff..." and the rapid sound effect "DADA DADA DADA DADA" of their running footsteps. In the middle panel, Nami and Chopper are also seen running frantically. Nami looks distressed and says, "We've lost quite a bit of time!" She adds, "I don't know why, but if the marines hadn't helped us back there, we'd have been in big trouble!" A loud explosion "DOKAN!!" goes off near them, highlighting the danger. The bottom panel provides a wider view of the chaotic skirmish in the city streets, with soldiers and rebels clashing violently amidst the dust and debris. A loud "WAAAAAA" echoes across the battlefield as a soldier is seen falling backward from an impact. Page 2: The frantic rush continues across the top panels. Usopp, looking panicked and sweating heavily as he runs, yells, "Praying won't help us in this situation!" Next to him, Vivi, also running hard with a determined but strained expression, agrees, "...Right!" On the right, Sanji and Zoro push forward. Sanji, looking serious, states, "This much bloodshed's insignificant to what'll happen if we fail to stop the explosion!" Zoro, running beside him, barks, "Don't look at them, you idiot!" In the middle section, the group is seen from a distance, sprinting across the plaza. Voices call out, "RIGHT!" and "We need everyone for this last job!" A shot of a large clock tower is shown as the countdown continues. Voices urgently note, "Right!", "No, only a minute and a half left now!", and "In just 2 minutes, we'll either have won or be dead!" In the large bottom panel, Vivi is seen riding the large duck Karoo, leading the charge. Nami runs alongside them, looking ahead with wide eyes. Someone shouts, "They're here!" followed by "VIVI! USOPP!" and a surprised "Ah!" The roar of the crowd "WAAAAAA" and the rumbling "DODODODO!!" of their approach fill the scene. Page 3: In the top left panel, Vivi looks urgent and explains, "No, but I'm sure I know where it is! Considering this planned-dust storm,". In the adjacent panels, Usopp asks, "Is the cannon here!?" while Nami and Chopper run, with voices calling out, "What's going on!? The marines helped us get here!" and "Nami! Tony!". In the middle row, Vivi continues her realization, her face tense: "It's been staring me in the face all along but it took me forever to realize it! It was in our blind spot! There's no other place it could be at!" A flashback panel shows a group of children, the Sand Sand Gang, standing in front of a large building. A young voice excitedly declares, "CHECK IT OUT! THIS PLACE IS PRETTY BIG, RIGHT!? HOW ABOUT WE MAKE THIS OUR SECRET BASE FROM NOW!?" Back in the present, Chopper and Nami listen intently as the deduction continues: "It also has to be big enough to house the cannon but not be visible from the sky!" and "The place has to be close enough where it's impossible to miss...!" The bottom panel reveals a massive, imposing clock tower looming over the city square. A large speech bubble dramatically announces, "IT'S INSIDE THE CLOCK TOWER!" accompanied by a shocked "WHA?" and a booming "DON" sound effect, while the background noise of the battle "WAAAAAA" continues. Page 4: In the top panels, Chopper and Nami react to the revelation. Chopper, looking up in realization, says, "You'd have a clear shot at the palace square from up there!" Nami, sweating and wide-eyed, agrees, "You're right! The clock tower!?" The middle panel focuses tightly on the face of the massive clock, its hands ticking ominously close to the deadline. Sound effects "GOOOO", "tic", "toc", "tic..." emphasize the passing seconds. In the bottom panels, a voice notes the urgency: "There's no more time!" while another voice, struggling against the conditions, says, "I know the smoke signal was somewhere around here, But I can hardly see 'cause of this dust s...
