## One Piece Chapter 223, pages 5-6: I solemnly swear not to fight in this town - Chapter: 223 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Doc Q, Stronger, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami ### Summary Page 5: Doc Q, now sitting on the ground next to his collapsed horse Stronger, holds out a basket of dark apples to Luffy. He says, "Allow me to thank you... Here, have an apple..." Zoro is immediately suspicious of the strange man and tells Luffy, "Yeah, that totally ain't suspicious. Move along, buddy." However, Luffy happily grabs an apple from the basket, saying, "Free apples? Thanks a bunch!" Zoro yells in panic, "DON'T EAT THEM, YOU IDIOT!" Suddenly, a massive explosion erupts in the background, blowing up a building and sending debris flying into the air. People scream in panic as smoke billows from the blast. A bystander yells, "THIS IS INSANE! 5 PEOPLE JUST BLEW UP IN FRONT OF MY EYES! THE WHOLE STORE'S A BLOODY MESS NOW!" Another explains, "There was this weird guy just now, offering some free apples, but when people bit into them..." Nami and Zoro look on in absolute shock, while Luffy continues to munch on his apple, completely unfazed by the chaos. Page 6: Zoro grabs Luffy by the collar and shakes him violently, yelling, "SPIT 'EM OUT, LUFFY! SPIT OUT THOSE APPLES THIS INSTANT! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYING AT!?" Luffy, with his mouth full and cheeks bulging, mumbles, "Gahh! Urp! I-it's... passed down my throat already!" Doc Q watches them from under the brim of his hat and grins menacingly. He then starts laughing, "Ahaha... ha... COUGH!" He tells them, "Don't worry... That's a... safe one... If he picked the wrong one, he would've died on the first bite..." Doc Q mounts his horse Stronger again and rides off down the street. He looks back at Luffy with a wide, unsettling grin and says, "A real lucky one..." Luffy stares back at him, looking slightly confused by the encounter.
