## One Piece Chapter 704, pages 9-10: Lucy and the Statue of Kyros - Chapter: 704 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Cavendish, Monkey D. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, Kyros ### Summary Page 9: Cavendish of the White Horse lounges with theatrical beauty and total confidence. The page introduces him as "Captain of the 'Beautiful Pirate Crew': Cavendish of the White Horse, bounty: 280 million berries." He explains why he wants the prize: "Well... it doesn't really matter what you do... Because I will be taking the Mera Mera no Mi. Yes, it really is suitable for me... such a beautiful power." His pride is not only vanity; he has reached the New World without eating a Devil Fruit. "I've come this far without a Devil Fruit and without exerting too much effort. Just my own genius." When Luffy calls toward him, "Come here!!! Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!!" Cavendish snaps back, "You're over the limit," and Luffy answers with a small "Eh." The clash is already forming: Cavendish thinks the fruit belongs to his beauty, while Luffy wants it for Ace. Page 10: Cavendish explains the nature of the Colosseum with elegant contempt. Looking at the nearly naked statue, he says, "So that's why everyone is practically naked. Even that bronze statue." Then he lays out the truth of the arena: "This is a show!! The audience is looking to see blood." The ring, he says, is where cruelty is exposed: "The ring is where the true nature of humans is brought to light. Gladiators are showmen. It is the blood of the fallen... that excites the crowd...!! Who wants to see a match prolonged by swords and armor?" Luffy interrupts with brutal honesty, beginning, "Lu..." then declaring, "I'm Luffy!! The man who'll be king of the pirates." Cavendish freezes. "I saw you earlier, when you flipped that large man. Who are you?" Luffy's answer nearly destroys his disguise in one sentence.
