## One Piece Chapter 703, pages 7-8: Waiting Room - Chapter: 703 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Violet, Sanji ### Summary Page 7: Violet pulls Sanji into a narrow escape as pursuers search nearby. One man asks, "Where'd that woman go!?" Another guesses, "Pretty sure she took the back exit into 'Lovers' Lane'." A third answers, "Right... so she couldn't have gotten far." The order is clear: "Don't let her out of this city." Hidden against the wall, Violet pants, "Haa haa," and whispers, "Thanks... looks like they're gone..." Sanji tries to recover himself. "I... think I'll be alright..." Violet says nothing for a beat, and then Sanji's fantasy overwhelms him. She has pulled him close, and he is not resisting. He laughs and gasps, "Kyah hh!!" while she tells him, "You're quite welcome." The sound effects "Swoosh" and the silent pauses make the hiding place feel charged and absurd, with danger nearby but Sanji already swept away by Violet's touch. Page 8: Violet apologizes softly: "I'm so sorry... did you bump your head or something?" Then she confesses why she was fleeing. "No... the only thing I've bumped into is that fateful impact that we call a chance encounter." When Sanji notices blood, she lowers her eyes: "But, with this much blood..." Sanji immediately insists, "Really... it's nothing." He is already beyond caution, crying, "Owahhh hhhhh," and declaring, "This is bad... I can't stop the love!!" Violet looks at him with pity and says, "You poor man..." Sanji, overwhelmed, misunderstands everything as romance. "Eh!? No, you mustn't look at me in that way!! I'm a woman who's given up on love...!!" Violet says. Sanji answers, "Right!! You made them all happy." She asks, "You were being chased?! Just who were those guys!?" and then, desperate but focused, says, "If I can lend my power in any way, just say the word."
