## One Piece Chapter 16, pages 15-16: VERSUS BUGGY'S CREW! - Chapter: 16 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Cabaji, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy ### Summary Page 15: A massive, dramatic panel dominates the top half of the page. Zoro deliberately plunges his own sword directly into his heavily bandaged side wound. A huge "SLISH!!" sound effect fills the background as blood violently spurts from the self-inflicted stab. Zoro's expression is intense and resolute, his head bowed slightly as he commits the shocking act. The bottom half of the page features four reaction panels. On the far right, Cabaji's face is contorted in absolute shock, his eyes bulging. He screams, "WHAT!!!" and "HE CUT HIMSELF!?". A jagged exclamation mark "!" bubble emphasizes his disbelief. Next to him, Nami covers her mouth with both hands, trembling and sweating in horror, with a "!?" bubble above her. Beside her, Luffy's jaw drops in a comical, wide-eyed expression of sympathetic pain, yelling, "OUCH!". On the far left, Buggy is equally stunned, his eyes wide and jaw slack, with an exclamation mark "!" bubble above his head. Page 16: Cabaji stands holding his sword, looking confused as blood drips from Zoro's blade with a "DRIP" and "SPLIP". Cabaji asks, "WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT...?" Zoro, his head bowed and panting heavily with a "HOOPH!!!", replies, "MY GOAL IS TO BE THE WORLD'S GREATEST SWORDSMAN..." In a large central panel, Zoro looks up with a fierce, determined glare. He holds one sword in his hand and grips another tightly in his mouth with a "CHUNK" sound. Blood stains his shirt from his self-inflicted wound. He challenges Cabaji, "IS THAT ENOUGH OF A HANDICAP FOR YOU? NOW I'LL SHOW YOU SOME REAL SWORDPLAY." Cabaji glares back, sweating slightly, and mutters, "HMPH... SO, RORONOA ZOLO... YOU WANT TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME?" Meanwhile, Luffy watches the exchange with a wide, excited grin, cheering, "WOW! ZOLO'S COOL!!"
