## One Piece Chapter 37, pages 17-18: KURO, THE PIRATE WITH 100 PLANS - Chapter: 37 - Pages: 17-18 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Kuro, Black Cat Pirates ### Summary Page 17: Luffy suddenly grabs a massive boulder from the ground and hoists it high above his head, yelling 'HUUAH!!!'. Kuro halts his charge, surprised by the display of raw strength. Kuro remarks, 'SO, IT SEEMS YOU CAN DO MORE THAN JUST STRETCH.' Luffy glares at him from under the rock and replies, 'THAT'S RIGHT! I'VE BEEN TRAINING... TO BECOME A PIRATE!!'. With a fierce shout of 'HEEYAH!!', Luffy hurls the giant boulder directly down onto Kuro. Kuro raises his arms, using his bladed claws to block the massive stone, grunting 'UGH!!!' from the heavy impact. Page 18: The massive boulder shatters against Kuro's defense, but the force of the impact takes a toll. The Black Cat Pirates scream in shock, 'WHOA!! THE "CAT'S CLAWS" ARE BROKEN!!!'. Indeed, several of the long blades on Kuro's gloves have snapped off. Luffy presses his advantage, yelling, 'YOU SAID THAT YOU'RE SICK AND TIRED? IF YOU'RE AFRAID OF YOUR NAME BEING KNOWN...'. In a powerful follow-up attack, Luffy lunges forward and delivers a brutal headbutt directly to Kuro's face. The impact is marked by a loud 'BAM!!!'. Luffy shouts, '...THEN HOW CAN YOU BE A PIRATE?! MY DREAMS ARE FAR GREATER THAN YOUR PLANS!!!'. Kuro is sent flying backward from the force of the blow.
