## One Piece Chapter 103, pages 16-17: WHALE - Chapter: 103 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Mr. 9, Nefertari Vivi, Crocus, Usopp, Nami, Sanji, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 16: Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, having freed themselves, leap into the air. They both aim bazookas downwards and laugh, "FUFUFU... OH... BUT WE'RE INSIDE THE WHALE NOW... IT'LL BE ONLY TOO EASY, TO BLAST A HOLE IN ITS STOMACH!" As they fire their weapons simultaneously, they shout, "WE WON'T LET YOU INTERFERE IN OUR WHALING BUSINESS ANY LONGER!" Crocus, seeing this from his island, yells, "DAMN ROGUES...!" He leaps from his platform, diving directly into the path of the incoming bazooka blasts. A massive explosion engulfs Crocus as he takes the full force of the attack with his own body. Usopp watches in horror and yells, "THAT OLD MAN TOOK THE BLAST WITH HIS OWN BODY!" Page 17: Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday land back on their feet, laughing arrogantly. "OHOHOHOHO! CEASE YOUR FUTILE RESISTANCE! JUST TRY TO PROTECT THE WHALE IF YOU STILL CAN! BUT IT WON'T STOP OUR TOWN FROM USING THIS WHALE AS OUR FOOD!" Nami is confused and asks, "WHAT... SO THEN, HE'S BEEN PROTECTING THE WHALE...!?" Usopp adds, "WHA... WHY IS THAT OLD MAN...?" Sanji wonders, "WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Crocus is shown heavily injured and groaning, "GUH!" Luffy, his face shadowed with anger, cracks his knuckles and says, "I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON BUT I'LL KNOCK THESE GUYS OUT FOR NOW!" In a swift motion, Luffy grabs both Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday by their heads and violently slams them together with a loud "GAKON!!" knocking them both out instantly.
