Luffy, Kuro, Jango, Black Cat Pirates, Sham, Buchi, Marines, Captain Morgan, Nugire Yainu ### Summary Page 0: The title page shows the chapter number 'CHAPTER 37' and the title 'KURO, THE PIRATE WITH 100 PLANS'. In the illustration, Buggy the Clown is running frantically across an island landscape, holding a knife and fork. He is being chased by a giant, angry-looking duck or bird. A thought bubble above Buggy shows him happily eating a roasted bird, exclaiming 'YEAH!', implying he tried to eat the giant bird's kin or steal its food. At the bottom, a caption reads '29 THE ADVENTURES OF BUGGY'S PIRATE FLEET VOL 3 "BUGGY'S ADVENTURE"'. Page 1: The battle begins on the sloping path. In the top panel, Kuro stands menacingly with his bladed 'Cat Claws' raised, emitting a dark aura with the sound effect 'OOOOOOO'. Monkey D. Luffy stands opposite him, stretching both of his arms far back behind him. Luffy yells, 'NO WAY!!' while Kuro coldly states, 'DIE'. In the bottom panel, Kuro suddenly bursts forward with incredible speed, leaving speed lines in his wake. The sound effect 'GAGA!!' accompanies his dash. In the foreground, Jango and the Black Cat Pirates watch in shock, with one pirate exclaiming, 'THEY STARTED!!'. Page 2: Kuro swings his deadly claws horizontally at Luffy. The sound effect 'SWING!!' marks the attack. However, Luffy leaps high into the air to dodge, his arms still stretched far back and anchored to the ground. Kuro's claws slice through the empty air where Luffy just stood, accompanied by a 'SWISH!!' sound. Kuro grunts, 'UGH...!!', realizing he missed. Mid-air, Luffy looks down at Kuro and says, 'AH?!'. In the final panel, Luffy's stretched arms violently snap forward like rubber bands, creating loud 'SNAP! SNAP!' sound effects as he propels himself toward Kuro. Page 3: Kuro looks up calmly as Luffy flies directly at him, propelled by the tension of his snapping arms. Luffy winds up a punch, yelling, 'GOMU GOMU-'. Before Luffy can land the blow, Kuro swiftly ducks low to the ground and executes a spinning kick. He calls out, 'LEG SWEEPER!!!' as his leg sweeps through the air with a 'SWISH!!'. Luffy is sent tumbling over Kuro's head, missing his attack. Luffy lands on his hands and immediately stretches one of his legs far back, preparing another strike, saying, 'AND...'. Kuro stands back up, looking over his shoulder at Luffy with a calm 'FUU...'. Page 4: Luffy unleashes his stretched leg, snapping it forward like a whip. He yells, 'PISTOL!!!' as the attack flies toward Kuro with a 'WHOOSH!!'. Kuro casually leans his upper body backward, effortlessly dodging the high-speed kick. The Black Cat Pirates watch the exchange with wide eyes and gaping mouths, exclaiming 'AH!!!' and '!?'. Luffy's foot slams violently into the ground where Kuro was standing, creating a loud 'BAM!!' and kicking up dust. Luffy looks surprised, uttering 'AH!', as Kuro suddenly appears standing right next to him, calmly adjusting his glasses with the heel of his palm. A small 'SRET' sound accompanies Kuro's movement. Page 5: Kuro stands casually right next to Luffy, who is still frozen in his extended kicking pose. Kuro sighs, 'THIS IS SO BORING, I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL SLEEPY...'. The Black Cat Pirates are astounded by Kuro's speed and agility. They yell, 'HE... HE DODGED IT AND...!!!' and 'HE'S STANDING ON HIS STRETCHED ARM!!!'. Indeed, Kuro has stepped onto Luffy's extended arm. In the bottom panel, Kuro raises his bladed claws, preparing to strike down at Luffy. Luffy looks up at him with an angry expression, gritting his teeth and growling, '...YOU BASTARD!!!'. Page 6: Kuro slashes downward with his deadly claws, the blades cutting through the air with a sharp 'SWISH...'. Luffy yells 'UWAA...' and desperately twists his body backward to avoid the lethal strike. A large, dynamic panel shows the near miss: Luffy falls backward, his straw hat flying off his head. Kuro's claws slice through the space just inches from Luffy's face, accompanied by a loud 'SLASH!!' sound effect. The attack is so close that it appears to clip the edge of Luffy's hair or hat brim, sending a few fragments flying. Page 7: Kuro lands gracefully on the rocky path, uttering a soft 'NU...'. Behind him, Luffy tumbles across the ground, groaning 'OUCH OUCH'. Luffy sits up, spitting out some dirt with a 'PUH!'. He glares angrily at Kuro, a small cut bleeding on his cheek. Luffy says, 'YOU MADE ME BLEED...'. The Black Cat Pirates, watching from a distance, erupt into cheers. They yell, 'THAT'S OUR CAPTAIN KURO...!!!' and 'THAT STRAW-HAT KID WAS SO SCARY AND STRONG...!!'. Kuro stands tall, adjusting his glasses again. The crew continues to chant enthusiastically, 'CAPTAIN KURO!!', 'GO CAPTAIN KURO!!', and 'KILL HIM!!'. Page 8: The cheering abruptly stops as Kuro suddenly turns his head and screams at his crew, his face contorted...
