## One Piece Chapter 618, pages 2-3: Proposal - Chapter: 618 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Shirahoshi, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Hatchan ### Summary Page 2: Panic erupts in the plaza as the people cry, "Shirahoshi is being kidnapped right now!!!" Luffy, still treating the giant mermaid princess like a troublesome friend, snaps, "Crybaby!! Why did you get out of the shark?!" Shirahoshi immediately breaks down: "I... I'm so sorry, Luffy-sama! Please don't get angry with me... Uwaaahhhh!" The crowd takes the tears as proof of Luffy's wickedness: "He made the princess cry!! This pirate is pure evil!!!" Nearby, Chopper desperately blocks Sanji from looking back. "Don't do it, Sanji!! Don't you dare turn around!!" Sanji, hearing everyone say "princess," realizes what might be behind him: "Everyone keeps saying \"princess\"... you don't mean..." The others warn him, "That's right! She's right there! So don't turn around, Sanji, no matter what!" Sanji trembles at the idea: "You'd better not be saying that the mermaid princess is standing right behind me!!!" Chopper reminds him, "An ordinary mermaid was enough to nearly kill you... If you see the mermaid princess, you'll be dead for sure!!!" But Sanji's dream overwhelms his self-preservation. "The mermaid princess... that most wondrous of all mermaids, said to rival even the pirate empress, the world's finest beauty... is standing right behind my back...?!! How could I bear to live knowing that I let such a chance slip through my fingers?!" With tragic resolve, he declares, "Chopper... I choose to fulfill my dream, and go to my death!!!!" Chopper can only yell back, "I thought your dream was to find all blue!!" Page 3: Chopper screams, "Don't do it, Sanji!!!!!!!!!" Sanji turns anyway, and the sight of Shirahoshi strikes him like a revelation. In his mind, he whispers, "Ah... Even my wildest imaginings pale in comparison... She is... magnificent...! No work of art could hope to compare... This is... ...true beauty...!!!" The shock does not produce a normal nosebleed this time: he stiffens into stone while hearts and impact marks burst around him. Chopper cries, "He turned to stone eeeee!!!" In the confusion, Luffy turns back toward Hatchan: "Anyway, Hachi!! Who the heck did this to you?! Tell me!!!" Hatchan only groans, "Nyu-uu..." Shirahoshi, frightened by the shouting and the crowd, asks, "L... Luffy-sama... What should I...? Uwaaah hhh!" Chopper, examining Sanji's bizarre condition, panics over the cause: "This is a totally new symptom! Is it because of the Okama blood in his system?!"
