## One Piece Chapter 452, pages 5-7: Jigoro of the Wind - Chapter: 452 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Franky, Brook, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 5: The armored zombie answers Franky's punch with swordsmanship. Its blade flashes with a sharp "girara!" and Franky gasps, "Haa?!" as the weapon is drawn and swung in a blur. The exchange becomes pure speed: Franky yells "Whoa!!!" while the corpse's sword cuts through the arena with enough force that the wall itself splits apart. Franky is knocked back and realizes, "...!! The wall was...!!!" He catches the zombie's form in his sights and admits, "His sword skills are pretty good...!!" The fight is now clearly more than brute strength. Whoever's shadow is inside that dead body knows how to use a blade, and Franky has to read attacks coming from a heavily armored corpse that should not be able to move at all. Page 6: Franky changes weapons without hesitation. From Brook's body he unleashes "Weapons Left"!!! and blasts the armored zombie point-blank. The explosion catches the target, and the others stare at the impact: "!!!" But the zombie endures, smoke rising around the armor. When Franky rushes in again, the corpse counters with its sword, and the two clash at close range. Franky is thrown across the hall, but he forces himself back into the fight with a shocked "!!?" The body he is using is weaker and stranger than his own, and every exchange reminds him that his usual cyborg confidence does not translate cleanly into Brook's stolen zombie body. Page 7: The armored zombie drives its blade into Franky with brutal precision. Franky cries, "Ugh!!!" while Brook and Robin see the terrible mismatch: "Whaa!! Franky is--!!!" Even wounded, Franky refuses to fall: "... I won't be beaten...!!" He grabs on and tries to hold his ground, but the corpse shakes him loose with a violent "Bun!!" and sends him flying. Brook, terrified by the sight of Franky's personality being battered inside his own dead body, shouts, "By such a corpse!" The fight has become humiliating as well as dangerous: the zombie is not merely resisting attacks, it is overpowering the Straw Hats with the borrowed strength of their missing friends' shadows.
