## One Piece Chapter 637: The Ancient Ark - Chapter: 637 - Pages: 0-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Hody Jones, Shirahoshi, Neptune, Vander Decken IX, Caribou, Noah, Jinbe, Nico Robin, Wadatsumi, Sanji ### Summary Page 0: The volume cover for One Piece shows Luffy charging forward with flames around his fist while Fishman Island characters and enemies surround him. Hody looms in the background, Shirahoshi's enormous eyes fill the upper image, and Neptune, Vander Decken, Caribou, and others appear below. It is volume cover art rather than a story page. Page 1: A volume title page shows Luffy under the One Piece logo with the caption "Volume 66 To Zero." This is a volume divider image and does not advance the current chapter's plot. Page 2: The contents page for the volume lists the chapters in Volume 66, "To Zero." It includes chapter 637, "The Ancient Ark," followed by chapters 638 through 646. This page is useful for metadata and chapter title confirmation, but it is not story action. Page 3: The chapter title page reads "The Ancient Ark" and continues the cover story: "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol. 21: Drum Island - The Isshi 100 Medical Centre." A woman stands before Drum Island's castle while people cheer, showing the medical center and the kingdom's peaceful development after earlier events. It is related world material, not part of the Fishman Island battle. Page 4: At Gyoncord Plaza, Hody's men rush toward their fallen captain, shouting, "Captain Hody!!!" They cannot believe he is still standing after swallowing all those Energy Steroids and becoming a real monster. One insists, "No - look!! His body really is super tough!!" Hody rises battered but alive, and Luffy watches him calmly. Hody pants, then snarls at Luffy, "Ever heard of fishman karate, boy?!" The fight shifts from Hody's raw durability to a technique meant to exploit the water around them. Page 5: Hody strikes Luffy's head with fishman karate, and the watching pirates think one blow will smash it open. But Luffy's neck stretches and his head flies backward without breaking. Luffy answers simply, "That's not much use! I'm made of rubber!!" The enemy then calls in the Steel Shell Squadron, and Luffy prepares his own attack: "Armament Head! Gomu Gomu no..." The scene sets up a direct test between Luffy's Haki-hardened body and the enemy's steel defenses. Page 6: Luffy crashes through the Steel Shell Squadron with `Kane!!!` His Haki-coated head pierces the steel shell defense and slams into the enemy, leaving the onlookers stunned: "His head out-toughed the steel!!" Luffy steps back with a small "Pff," while the defeated defenders tumble away. The point is unmistakable: the fishmen expected armor to stop him, but Luffy's Armament Haki has surpassed their hardened shell formation. Page 7: Hody charges again, but Luffy meets him head-on. Hody's body towers over him, then Luffy drives a blow into him and sends him crashing through the battlefield. Hody screams as he is knocked backward, his massive body carving through the plaza while enemies panic around him. Even after all his artificial strength and rage, he cannot force Luffy to retreat. Page 8: Hody answers from range with `Yabusame!!!` Water bullets shoot toward Luffy, but Luffy reads the attack and slips through them. The enemies ask, "It's not hitting!!!" and wonder, "Does he know exactly where the attacks are going or something?!" Hody's shots tear through the plaza, yet Luffy keeps moving, dodging the barrage until he is close enough to land another hard strike. Page 9: Luffy's counterattack sends Hody smashing into the ground. The enemy cries, "Captain Hody!!!" while Shirahoshi watches with admiration: "Luffy-sama... Such strength you have...!!" The people begin cheering, "All right!! Go Straw Hat Luffy!!" and even Hody's followers are forced to admit that this is the strength of a world-famous pirate. Then the mood changes. A vast shadow falls over the plaza, and someone asks, "What's this?! The whole plaza's gone dark..." Page 10: The source of the shadow appears overhead: the Noah, descending from the Fishman District. The enormous ark looms over Fishman Island while people stare up and scream, "Whaaaaaaaaap?!!" and "The Noah, from the Fishman District?!!" Its size dwarfs the plaza and the buildings beneath it. What had seemed like a battle between Luffy and Hody is suddenly overshadowed by an ancient ship large enough to threaten the entire island. Page 11: The people realize the danger immediately. They ask, "What's the Noah doing flying above Fishman Island?!" and shout that it is heading straight for the plaza. Worse, the Noah is trying to force its way through the bubble around the island. If that bubble breaks before the ship even hits the island, the entire residential area will be annihilated by water pressure. Luffy, Shirahoshi, and the others look up in shock as the ancient ark presses down from above. Page 12: Panic spreads through the plaza. If the ship hit...
