## One Piece Chapter 138, pages 11-13: Mountaintop - Chapter: 138 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Luffy, Nami, Sanji ### Summary Page 11: Luffy scales the sheer, vertical rock face of the mountain. The wind whips around him, threatening to tear him off the cliff. He is a small speck against the massive, icy wall. He clings to the rock with his bare hands and feet, his fingers bleeding from the sharp, freezing stone. He pants heavily, "HUFF", his face buried in the snow covering the rock. He strains with every muscle, pulling himself and the weight of his two friends upward. "NGHHHHH!" he screams in exertion. "NGHHH!" The climb is agonizing, but he refuses to give up. Page 12: Luffy continues his agonizing climb up the vertical cliff face. He is panting heavily, his breath visible in the freezing air. Suddenly, his grip slips, and he slides down slightly. "OWW!" he cries out. Sanji, tied to his back, slips as well. "AGHHH! SANJIII!" Luffy yells, quickly grabbing Sanji's leg with his teeth to stop him from falling, while holding onto the rock with his bleeding hands. A narration box reads "3 HOURS LATER". Luffy is still climbing, higher up the mountain now. He is exhausted, mechanically repeating, "DOCTOR... DOCTOR... DOCTOR..." as he forces himself to keep moving upward. Page 13: Luffy is nearing the top of the mountain. He is completely exhausted, his face covered in snow, snot running from his nose. He is barely coherent, slurring his words, "DAT... WAZ... CLOSTH...!" He reaches up with a bloody, scraped hand, his fingers digging into the snowy edge of the cliff. "SCRITCH!" He pulls himself up, his face contorted in pain and exhaustion, using every last ounce of his strength to crest the summit.
