## One Piece Chapter 514, pages 12-14: Mushrooms-Growing-From-Your-Body-Shroom - Chapter: 514 - Pages: 12-14 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Marguerite, Aphelandra, Sweet Pea, Belladonna, Kuja women ### Summary Page 12: In the forest, Kuja women discover Luffy collapsed on the ground, now covered with sprouting mushrooms. One calls out, "MARGARET!!" and another asks, "WHAT IS IT...!?" When they see the body, someone asks, "WHAT IS THIS THING?" and another, startled, says, "THE TALE OF \"I WONDER WHAT THIS IS!?\"" The realization comes quickly: "... WHA... WHAT IS THIS!? ISN'T IT A PERSON!!?" They crowd around the unmoving figure, still mistaking Luffy for a woman, and one suggests, "MAYBE SOMEONE FROM THE VILLAGE?" Another answers, "I DON'T KNOW... BUT WITH ALL THESE MUSHROOMS SPROUTING..." A closer look at a bitten fungus identifies the cause: "... IT'S THIS!!" "LOOK, THIS MUSHROOM HAD A BITE TAKEN OUT OF IT:" "THE \"MUSHROOMS-GROWING-FROM-YOUR-BODY-SHROOM.\"" The warning is immediate: "WHEN YOU EAT IT, MUSHROOMS GROW FROM YOUR BODY!! THIS IS TERRIBLE!!" Page 13: The Kuja women decide they must act fast. Marguerite explains with urgency, "IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING, THE MUSHROOMS WILL SUCK AWAY HER LIFE AND SHE WILL DIE." Sweet Pea gives the proverb-like answer, "THE TALE OF \"NOT A MOMENT TO SPARE.\"" Marguerite stands armed with arrows and a snake bow at her side, while the much taller Aphelandra and the smaller Sweet Pea prepare to move the unconscious Luffy. Marguerite orders, "APHELANDRA! CARRY HER BACK TO THE VILLAGE." Aphelandra answers, "GOT IT." The group begins transporting Luffy, still treating him as an unknown injured woman rather than a man. As they hurry through the forest, someone shouts, "LET'S HURRY!!" and another repeats the guiding phrase, "THE TALE OF \"TAKE HER BACK TO THE VILLAGE!\"" The page shows Kuja decisiveness: weapons ready, snakes coiled, and no hesitation about rescuing the stranger despite the bizarre mushroom-covered condition. Page 14: The Kuja village erupts with an "EMER-GENCY!!" as the women carry Luffy through buildings decorated with hanging lanterns and geometric patterns beneath towering cliffs. A crowd gathers, asking, "IS SHE EVEN ALIVE?" "WHO IS IT?" and "WHAT HAPPENED TO HER...!? HER BODY'S COVERED WITH MUSHROOMS!!" Inside a treatment room, Belladonna examines the patient while Marguerite and the others kneel around the bed. Belladonna states the immediate treatment: "YOU CAN PULL THEM OFF WITH YOUR HANDS, SO LET'S PROCEED LIKE THAT." As they pluck mushrooms away with popping sounds, one woman says, "MARGARET, YOU SURE PICKED UP SOMETHING WEIRD, HUH...?" Marguerite replies, "YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT LEAVES A LITTLE STUMP." Belladonna reassures them, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE STUMPS, WE'LL BURN THEM OFF LATER." The rescue is sincere, but every detail of the cure sounds painful.
