In the ruined courtyard of Arlong Park, Luffy and Arlong stand facing each other. Arlong, looking furious, yells, 'HOW DARE YOU USE ONE OF MY BRETHREN AS YOUR SHIELD!'. Luffy, standing casually with his hands on his hips, replies, 'WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ATTACKED HIM.'. In the panels below, the onlookers react to the standoff. Sanji, sitting on the ground, wonders, 'DID HE COME UP WITH A SECRET STRATEGY OR SOMETHING?'. Genzo, standing with the villagers, asks, 'WHAT COULD IT BE...?'. Nami, looking concerned, says, 'BROTHER LUFFY SAID HE HAD A GOOD IDEA...'. Usopp, sweating and looking terrified, exclaims, 'THAT WAS SCARY...!'. The tension is high as the battle is about to resume.
