## One Piece Chapter 461, pages 13-15: Ghost Buster - Chapter: 461 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Perona, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Usopp ### Summary Page 13: The Negative Hollows sweep through the room and instantly break the proud fighters. Zoro collapses with his forehead to the ground, muttering, "I'm less than a mackerel...! I want to die..." Sanji says, "Yes!! I want to be stepped on by a wild dog!!" and Franky apologizes, "I'm sorry for walking on the same earth as everyone..." Perona smiles, "Everything is finished..." and sends the zombies upstairs. But then a "Salt Star!!!" bursts through the chaos and purifies a zombie, making it scream "GYAAAA" as smoke rises. Perona turns in alarm: "Who did that!?" One attacker remains standing somewhere in the room, untouched by the despair that flattened the others. Page 14: Usopp steps forward with his slingshot and declares, "I won't let you touch any of my crew!!!" Perona realizes he is the one who threw the salt and sends another "Negative Hollow!!!" straight through him. Nothing happens. She stares in disbelief: "Damn... he was only pretending to be negative!!" The ghosts pass through Usopp again, but he does not fall. Instead, he names himself: "...My name is... Captain Usopp!!" Perona panics, "Why!!? Why aren't you falling!!? The ghost touched you!! How did you do it!!?" Usopp answers with his terrifying advantage: "I didn't do anything!!!" The power that destroys the confident cannot defeat a man whose heart is already trained in pessimism. Page 15: The truth hits Perona and Usopp at the same time. Usopp screams, "I'm always negative!!" while Perona recoils with a gigantic "WHAAT!!?" Her perfect weapon has met the one Straw Hat it cannot break. The panel turns Usopp's weakness into a ridiculous strength: his natural gloom is so deep that the Negative Hollows cannot push him any lower. Perona's shock is not just comic humiliation; it changes the entire fight. Zoro, Sanji, and Franky have been neutralized, the zombies are still moving, and now the only person standing between Perona and the fallen crew is the crew's most frightened and most negative sniper.
