## One Piece Chapter 615, pages 14-15: Curse of Mato Mato - Chapter: 615 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Vander Decken IX, Hatchan, Hody Jones ### Summary Page 14: The crowd is shocked that the knife reversed direction. Someone yells, "What!! He threw the knife in a completely different direction... but it landed straight in the octopus' back!!" Vander Decken explains the Mato Mato curse: "From the moment I touched you just now, you became my 'target'. Any projectile I let fly, no matter what direction I throw it... will soar like a bird straight towards my target - you!!!" Hachi panics, "Hordy!! Decken's going to kill me!! You have to stop him!!!" but Hody refuses: "I told you already, Hachi-san. Vander Decken isn't my subordinate. The two of us are equals in this pirate alliance." Hachi calls Decken a coward: "I'm sick of having to look at your face!! You filthy coward!!!" Hody only suggests, "Naturally, there are ways to block it. Why don't you give it a try?" while Hachi begs, "Stop!! All those arrows...!! I've heard rumours of that ability of yours!!" Page 15: Vander Decken unleashes a storm of arrows. He cries, "Flyyyyy yyyy!!!" and "Off you goooo!!" while Hachi groans, "Ughh...!! Nyuuuhh!!!" Decken laughs, "Baho ohoho hoho hoh!! That's beautifuuu!! Run!! Run all you like!!" The arrows curve through the air and chase Hatchan no matter where he flees. Decken boasts, "But no matter how far you go...!! No matter where you run... they'll never stop chasing after you!!!" Hachi dives, twists, and tries to escape through the water, but the arrows keep following with repeated "Kyun!!" sounds. He screams, "Aaaar rrghh hhhhh hhhh!!!" and, even underwater, gasps in terror: "Ughhhh... even water doesn't slow them down?!" The page makes Decken's power feel inescapable: it is not accuracy but supernatural pursuit.
