## One Piece Chapter 618, pages 9-11: Proposal - Chapter: 618 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Vander Decken IX, Shirahoshi, Megalo, Sanji ### Summary Page 9: Luffy's strike scatters the obstruction in a violent burst: "Guaa argh hh!!!" The force clears the path around Shirahoshi and Megalo, turning the crowd's attempt to restrain him into another display of how dangerous he is even tied up. Vander Decken is stunned that Luffy can move like that while still bound. "Wh... whoa... without even breaking free of his ropes..." Then his jealousy refocuses on Shirahoshi. "This is between me and my beloved Shirahoshi!! Why must you interfere?!!" Page 10: Vander Decken accuses Luffy: "Was it you who abducted her from the palace?!!!" Luffy ignores the accusation and asks the question that matters to him: "Are you the one who's been throwing all that stuff at her?!" Decken mutters, "Hmm?!" His answer is enough. Luffy declares, "That's it!!! I'm taking both of your lives!!! I'll stack you up neatly and slice you into four!!!" Luffy launches his counterattack: "Gomu Gomu no...!!" Decken dares him, "Go ahead and try!" Luffy's bound legs swing through with a brutal "Jet Hammer!!!" and Decken is smashed away, choking out, "BLGH ERHHH HHH!!!" Page 11: The crowd stares at the aftermath. "He just... took out Vander Decken...!!" someone says, then sees the chance: "...He's still moving but this is our chance to capture him!!" Luffy turns to Megalo: "C'mon, shark!! Wake up!!!" Sanji, still overwhelmed, groans, "Uuu ...rr hh..." Luffy asks, "Sanji, what happened to you?!" The explanation is grimly comic: "He turned into stone for a bit... and now he's drowning in happiness. ...But he's still conscious!!" Shirahoshi answers Luffy's urgency with nervous politeness: "Y... yes, of course... But please, could you stop speaking so loudly...? It makes me nervous..." Luffy snaps her back into motion: "Hurry up, crybaby!! It looks like we're not very popular on this island! We'd better get outta here!!"
