## One Piece Chapter 703, pages 14-15: Waiting Room - Chapter: 703 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Spartan ### Summary Page 14: The disguise is made official. Luffy enters the fighters' waiting room under the name "Fighter Number 556 Lucy," his shirt marked "No. 0556 Lucy." Around him, the underground room is packed with violent competitors, all shouting over the coming battle. One yells, "I'll be taking that Mera Mera no Mi!!" Another shouts, "It's gonna be me, you fool!!" A guide explains the setting: "This is the waiting room for fighters. Please relax until you're called to fight." Luffy, still disguised with a fake beard and sunglasses, looks around and says, "Wow." Someone notes, "Everyone's so enthusiastic!!" But his small body and odd appearance immediately draw attention. A brute asks, "Hey, who's that little punk?" Then a huge fighter swings, and the waiting room erupts before Luffy has even reached the arena. Page 15: The first attack comes fast, but Luffy's reaction is effortless. He murmurs, "Whoa," as a weapon sweeps near him, then lets the attack pass and the fighter crashes into the surroundings. The other gladiators stop and stare. Someone laughs, "Pfft," another wonders, "Hmm?" and Luffy only says, "Ah..." A murmur runs through the room: "Hey... who the hell's he?" Another notices the arsenal around them: "They've got all sorts of weapons, huh..." The fallen veteran is introduced as "Spartan, Corrida Colosseum Gladiator, 51 time winner of the monthly tournament." Humiliated, Spartan snarls, "This sort of mockery... is the type I hate the most...!!" Others explain the context: "He was the last guy to enter." "What does that twerp think he's doing here?" Luffy has not announced himself, but the room has already marked him.
