## One Piece Chapter 10, pages 20-22: INCIDENT AT THE TAVERN - Chapter: 10 - Pages: 20-22 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Buggy Pirates, Buggy ### Summary Page 20: In the top panel, Luffy sits cross-legged inside his iron cage, smiling broadly. He calls out, "PHEW! I'M GLAD YOU FOUND ME! NOW GET ME OUTTA HERE!" Standing outside the cage is Zoro, who looks back over his shoulder and asks, "YOU HURT?" Luffy replies, "NO, I'M OKAY..." In the background, the defeated Buggy Pirates look on in shock, exclaiming "WHOA", "WOW", and "ZOLO!!". In the middle panel, Zoro stands casually, resting one of his sheathed swords on his shoulder and tapping it with a "TAP TAP" sound. He looks annoyed and says, "ALWAYS GOOFING AROUND... FIRST YOU FLY OFF WITH A BIRD, AND NOW YOU'RE PLAYING IN SOME CAGE... FOOL!" In the bottom left panel, Nami stares in wide-eyed surprise, thinking, "THAT WAS ZOLO THE PIRATE HUNTER? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? THE CREWMATE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT..." In the bottom right panel, the Buggy Pirates are sweating and panicking. One asks, "WHAT'S ZOLO THE PIRATE HUNTER DOING TALKING TO THAT THIEF?" while another stammers, "HEY, DID HE JUST CALL THAT GUY Z-ZOLO?" Page 21: In the top panel, Buggy stands tall and imposing, his large coat draped over his shoulders. A massive "DOOOM" sound effect looms behind him. He addresses Zoro, "SO YOU'RE RORONOA ZOLO, EH? YOU MUST HAVE COME TO CAPTURE ME!" Zoro, standing with his back to Buggy, glances over his shoulder and replies calmly, "I GAVE UP PIRATE HUNTING. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN YOU." In the middle panel, Buggy grins wickedly and draws several throwing knives between his fingers with a sharp "FWP FWP" sound. He says, "WELL, I AM INTERESTED IN YOU. KILLING YOU WILL BE A NICE FEATHER IN MY CAP." Zoro turns to face him, resting his hand on his sword hilt, and warns, "BACK OFF BEFORE I PLUCK ALL YOUR FEATHERS." In the bottom panel, the Buggy Pirates cheer wildly, "GET 'IM, CAP'N BUGGY! CUT 'IM TO PIECES!!" with a loud "YARR!". Buggy lunges forward, knives ready, yelling, "GIVE ME ALL YOU'VE GOT, PIRATE HUNTER, 'CAUSE I'M ABOUT TO GET A LOOK AT YOUR BLOOD!!!" Zoro draws his sword with a fierce, intense glare, declaring, "YOU ASKED FOR IT!" Page 22: A massive action shot dominates the top half of the page. With a swift and powerful strike, Zoro has slashed his sword horizontally right through Buggy's midsection. Buggy's body is completely severed in half, his upper torso floating in the air separated from his legs and waist. Buggy's face is frozen in shock with a small exclamation mark next to him. Zoro is shown in the follow-through of his swing, his sword extended. In the bottom right panel, Luffy looks on from his cage with a surprised expression, exclaiming, "HEY! THAT WAS TOO EASY!" In the bottom middle panel, Nami stares in stunned disbelief, sweating as she mutters, "NO WAY..." In the bottom left panel, instead of being horrified, three of the Buggy Pirates are shown smiling and chuckling darkly with a "HEH HEH...", completely unfazed by their captain being cut in half.
