## One Piece Chapter 61: DEMON - Chapter: 61 - Pages: 0-20 - Characters: Gin, Sanji, Baratie cooks, Krieg Pirates, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Monkey D. Luffy, Don Krieg ### Summary Page 0: Gin leaps into the air, swinging his heavy iron ball tonfa down at Sanji with immense force. He yells, "AT THE VERY LEAST, I'LL KILL YOU WITHOUT LEAVING BEHIND A DISFIGURED CORPSE!" Sanji, lying on his back on the wooden deck, raises his leg to block the heavy strike. The impact creates a shockwave, indicated by action lines and a loud clash. In the background, the Baratie cooks scream in panic, "SANJI!!" Meanwhile, two Krieg Pirates cheer for Gin. One yells, "PULVERIZE HIM UNTIL HE AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT POWDER!" and the other laughs, "HAHAHA! THAT'S THE BATTLE COMMANDER WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE!" Despite the heavy blow, Sanji calmly blows a puff of smoke from his cigarette as he holds off the attack with his leg. Page 1: This page shows the left half of a black-and-white double-page spread. The large letters "ONE PIECE" are visible at the top. Nami sits peacefully under a large tree, leaning against the trunk with her eyes closed and an open book in her lap. She wears a t-shirt and shorts. In the background, Zoro walks away carrying a hoe over his shoulder. Further back, Usopp runs in panic from a giant squid that has emerged from the field. Luffy is having fun riding in a wheelbarrow, holding a pitchfork and a basket of vegetables. Page 2: This page shows the full color version of the double-page spread. The title "ONE PIECE" is written in large orange letters across the top. Nami rests against a tree on the left, sleeping with a book on her lap. Zoro walks in the background with a hoe. Usopp runs away from a giant pink squid in the vegetable patch. Luffy rides in a red wheelbarrow, laughing and holding a pitchfork and a basket of radishes. A large round cheese wheel labeled "LUCKY" and a barrel sit in the foreground. Page 3: A simple page featuring a single small panel in the center. It shows a close-up of Sanji's face. He has a serious expression, a cigarette in his mouth, and his signature curly eyebrow is visible. The rest of the page is blank white space. Page 4: The fight continues with brutal intensity. Gin swings his tonfa horizontally, striking Sanji hard. Sanji spits blood and cries out, "AGH!" Gin yells, "SINGE!" as he follows up with another attack. He steps forward with a "STEP" sound effect and brings both of his iron ball tonfas crashing down onto the deck where Sanji is lying. Sanji barely manages to dodge, the heavy balls smashing into the wood right next to his head, sending splinters flying. Page 5: Sanji quickly counters Gin's assault. From his position on the ground, he pushes up into a handstand and delivers a powerful upward kick directly into Gin's face. The impact is accompanied by a loud "BAM" sound effect, sending Gin flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth. Sanji smoothly lands back on his feet with a "THUD," his black suit and shoes moving with agility. Page 6: Gin crashes onto his back on the wooden wreckage, groaning "UGH!" as he hits the ground hard. The Krieg Pirates, watching from the water near the restaurant ship, are shocked by the turn of events. One pirate stammers in disbelief, "T-THAT COOK LANDED A HIT ON GIN!" Another, sweating nervously, says, "Y... YOU DON'T THINK EVEN GIN'LL BE DONE IN BY HIM, DO YOU...?" The Baratie ship stands prominently in the background. Page 7: Don Krieg stands tall on the floating wreckage, his spiked shield equipped on his arm. He addresses his men, "HMPH, JUST WHAT ARE YOU FOOLS DOUBTING GIN'S FIGHTING ABILITIES FOR...!?" He continues, "YOU'VE ALL SEEN FOR YOURSELF WHAT HE'S CAPABLE OF." A crewmate calls out, "DON!" Krieg explains, "GIN'S A CALM AND COLLECTED 'DEMON.' IT'S EXACTLY BECAUSE OF THAT NATURE THAT I PLACED HIM AS THE BATTLE COMMANDER. HE'LL SHOW HIS TRUE ABILITIES IN JUST A LITTLE WHILE..." Gin is shown getting back up, his face shadowed and serious. Krieg adds, "GIN'S A MERCILESS KILLER WHO DOESN'T EVEN HESITATE FOR A SECOND IN BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERING HIS ENEMIES, WHETHER THEY BE CRYING OR BEGGING... THAT'S WHY HE'S THE COLD-HEARTED 'DEMON,' WITHOUT A SHRED OF COMPASSION...!" The Krieg Pirates gulp, "T-THE DON'S RIGHT..." Page 8: Sanji struggles to stand, clutching his side and bleeding heavily from his mouth. The Baratie cooks watch with deep concern. "S-SANJI... I WONDER IF HE'S ALRIGHT..." one says. Another adds, "HOW COULD HE BE!? HE MUST'VE ALREADY HAD 5 OR 6 OF HIS RIBS BROKEN FROM THAT SHIELD-WEARING BASTARD EARLIER...!" Sanji stands up, facing Gin. He taunts him, "...YOU'RE UNEXPECTEDLY PRETTY WEAK, MR. BATTLE COMMANDER. GUESS THE MIGHTY KRIEG PIRATES WERE ALL TALK AND NO SUBSTANCE." Gin glares back, licking the blood from his lips with a menacing look. Page 9: Luffy, watching the fight from a nearby piece of wreckage, notices an opening. "AH," he says, seeing Don Krieg distracted. "HE'S LOOKING AWAY. NOW'S MY CHANCE TO SEND HIM F...
