## One Piece Chapter 52, pages 11-12: Oath - Chapter: 52 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Dracule Mihawk, Monkey D. Luffy, Zeff, Baratie cooks, Yosaku, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 11: Mihawk stands majestically on the floating wreckage, his large sword resting on his shoulder. He declares his position to Zoro: "NO MATTER HOW MANY MONTHS OR YEARS PASS BY, I SHALL STAND HERE AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD AND WAIT FOR YOU!". Luffy watches him intently, sweating slightly but listening closely. Mihawk continues his challenge, "SO FORGE ON AHEAD WITH THAT FIERCE CONVICTION AND TRY TO SURPASS MY SWORD!". The bottom half of the page is a massive, intense close-up of Mihawk's face, his hawk-like eyes glaring fiercely as he shouts his ultimate challenge: "SURPASS ME, RORONOA!" Page 12: Zeff and the Baratie cooks listen to Mihawk's declaration in awe. Zeff thinks to himself, "TO THINK THAT MIHAWK WOULD SAY SUCH A THING...". On the small boat, Yosaku is crying uncontrollably, shaking Zoro's bloody body and begging, "BRO! ANSWER ME!". Zoro's chest is covered in a massive, dark bloodstain. Mihawk then turns his attention to Luffy, asking, "BOY, WHAT DO YOU AIM FOR?". Luffy, sitting on the wreckage, glares back defiantly and shouts, "PIRATE KING!". Mihawk smirks slightly and replies, "A TOUGH PATH, INDEED. EVEN TOUGHER THAN SURPASSING MYSELF." Luffy sticks his tongue out childishly and retorts, "WHATEVER! I'M GOING TO DO IT ANYWAYS!"
