## One Piece Chapter 59: DEBT - Chapter: 59 - Pages: 0-18 - Characters: Richie, Buggy, Cabaji, Mohji, Sanji, Zeff, Gin, Baratie cooks, Luffy, Patty, Carne, Pearl, Don Krieg, Krieg Pirates ### Summary Page 0: The title page for Chapter 59, titled "DEBT", features a whimsical nighttime illustration. In the center, the large lion Richie is sleepwalking on his hind legs, his eyes closed and mouth wide open in a snore. A thought bubble above his head shows him dreaming of a heroic fight against a dragon with a sword and shield. Buggy's separated legs and feet flank Richie while Buggy's other parts and crewmates, including Cabaji and Mohji, lie asleep or scattered around the scene. An owl perches in a nearby tree under a crescent moon. The bottom text reads, "ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL. 18 'SLEEPWALKING RICHIE'". Page 1: Outside the Baratie restaurant ship, a voice rings out in shock, "REPAY HIS DEBT...!?" In the water below, several Baratie cooks look up toward the ship's deck in disbelief. On the deck, Sanji stands battered, blood dripping from his head, looking down with a somber expression. Nearby, Zeff is held hostage by Gin, who has a gun pointed at the old chef's head. Despite his predicament, Zeff yells angrily at Sanji, "SANJI! DON'T DO ANY MORE UNNECESSARY THINGS. I'M NOT SO OLD AND FEEBLE ENOUGH YET THAT I NEED TO BE RESCUED BY A LITTLE EGGPLANT!" Sanji retorts quietly, "HMPH, YOU'RE ONE TO TALK. IF YOU HADN'T GIVEN UP YOUR LEG FOR MY SAKE, THEN THESE GUYS WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PUSH YOU AROUND!" Page 2: The revelation shocks the Baratie cooks floating in the water. They piece the story together, exclaiming, "SO OWNER ZEFF GAVE UP HIS LEG, TO SAVE SANJI...? THEN THE REASON WHY HE'S STAYED HERE ALL ALONG, SANJI'S BARELY STANDING...!" Luffy watches the scene unfold with a serious, silent expression. Patty and Carne, also in the water, are stunned by the news. Patty says, "MUST'VE BEEN TO REPAY HIS DEBT TO OWNER ZEFF...! NEVER WOULD'VE IMAGINED THAT TWO PEOPLE WHO ARGUE WITH EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME WOULD SHARE SUCH A DEEP RELATIONSHIP..." On the deck, Gin sweats profusely, his face contorted with conflict as he holds his gun on Zeff. He stares at the battered cook and asks, "WHY... WHY DO YOU STILL STAND UP, SANJI...!?" Page 3: Pearl, covered in his iron shields, laughs uproariously at Sanji's battered state. "HAAAHA HAHA! STILL HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH OF MY PEARL PRESENTS!? YOU AIN'T GOT A CHANCE OF WINNING!" Sanji stands silently, bleeding but unyielding. Pearl continues his taunts, gesturing broadly, "THE FINAL RESULT IS ALL THAT MATTERS IN THIS WORLD! IF YOU LOSE, THEN YOU'RE A LOSER! NO OTHER WAY ABOUT IT! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TAKE HOSTAGES! THE LAST MAN STANDING IS THE VICTOR! ISN'T THAT RIGHT, DON KRIEG!?" In the background, Don Krieg watches the one-sided fight with a stern expression and simply agrees, "EXACTLY." Page 4: Pearl turns his attention to Gin, who is still holding Zeff hostage. "RIGHT, GIN!?" Pearl asks, though he quickly answers his own question with a smug grin. "GUESS IT'S NOT EVEN NECESSARY TO ASK... YOU ARE THE ONE HOLDING HIM AT HOSTAGE, AFTER ALL... IN ANY CASE, YOU'LL LOSE WITHOUT LAYING EVEN A FINGER ON US IN THE END." Pearl then directs his mockery back at Sanji, "SO WHY DO YOU STILL STAND!? YOU'LL ONLY BE BEATEN TO A BLOODY PULP IF YOU DO!" Despite the grim situation and his severe injuries, Sanji smiles defiantly, blood running down his face. "I WANT TO PRESERVE THIS RESTAURANT, IF EVEN JUST ONE SECOND LONGER." Page 5: Sanji's declaration shocks everyone. Luffy stares with wide eyes, while Patty, floating in the water, screams in frustration, "AGHHH! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF!?" Gin looks deeply unsettled, sweat pouring down his face as he holds his weapon. Zeff, still held at gunpoint, grits his teeth and mutters, "DAMN BRAT..." Pearl, however, is unimpressed by Sanji's resolve. He readies his flaming shields for another attack, scoffing, "HAH! WELL, WELL... AIN'T THAT A FLASHY LAST STAND!? BUT THE TIME TO CLOSE UP THIS RESTAURANT IS NOW AT HAND! FROM NOW ON, IT'LL BE A PIRATE SHIP! DOUBLY-CERTAIN PEARL..." Page 6: Pearl lunges forward, slamming his heavy, flaming shield directly into Sanji's face with a devastating "PRESENT!!" attack. The sheer force of the blow sends Sanji flying backward across the wooden deck, skidding violently as Luffy watches in shock. Sanji lets out a pained "UGH!" as he hits the ground. Down in the water, the Baratie cooks panic as the flames from Pearl's attacks begin to spread across the ship's exterior. "SANJI!" they cry out. "AHHH HOT! CRAP! THE FIRE'S GROWING LARGER!" Page 7: The situation grows more desperate as the Baratie cooks in the water yell, "THE RESTAURANT'S GOING TO BURN DOWN FOR SURE THIS TIME! H-HEY! WE GOTTA PUT OUT THIS FIRE OR THERE'LL BE NO POINT IN TAKING OVER THIS SHIP!" Luffy, looking frustrated, shouts back, "I'M TRYIN' BUT THE FIRE'S TOO BIG!" On the deck, Pearl laughs maniacally, "HAAAA HAHAHA! FEEL FREE TO FI...
