## One Piece Chapter 196, pages 11-13: 1 - Chapter: 196 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Crocodile, Nico Robin, Kicking Claw Guards, Chaka, Nefertari Vivi ### Summary Page 11: Crocodile remains unfazed, telling Robin, 'They're nothing but flies to me.' Robin asks, 'Shall I?' but Crocodile replies, 'No, it's fine.' Suddenly, the four Kicking Claw Guards leap high into the air, their weapons raised to strike. They roar, 'RAHHHHH!' as they descend upon Crocodile, whose back is turned to the viewer. Nearby, Vivi watches in terror, screaming 'CHAKA!' Chaka, sweating profusely and wide-eyed with realization, says, 'Something's off about them! Did they...!?' Page 12: Chaka looks devastated as he realizes what the guards have done. He explains, 'Those fools... In order to gain more strength for one brief moment... They drank Gosui... The special water that takes away your life...! They... Now have only a few minutes to live... They cannot be saved!' Crocodile smirks cruelly, smoke trailing from his cigar. 'Kuku... I figured as much... So you threw away your lives just to challenge me...!' Vivi screams in despair, 'NOOO!' As the guards attack, one of them says, 'PLEASE FORGIVE OUR RECKLESS ACTIONS, COMMANDER CHAKA... BUT WE MUST LET THIS MAN KNOW... LET HIM KNOW OF THIS COUNTRY'S PAIN...' Chaka yells out, 'YOU FOOLS!' A panel shows a skull lying in the desert sand with a bird perched on a nearby ruin, symbolizing their impending death. Page 13: Tears stream down the face of one of the Kicking Claw Guards as he swings his weapon, yelling, 'AND THIS COUNTRY'S ANGER!' The four guards unleash a coordinated assault on Crocodile, slicing through him with their swords and axes. However, their weapons pass harmlessly through his body, which instantly turns into sand upon impact. Close-up panels show the shocked and desperate expressions of the four guards as they realize their ultimate sacrifice has had no effect on the Warlord.
