Chapter 30 · GREAT!!!

00AI-written

The title page displays "CHAPTER 30" and the title "GREAT!!!". The illustration features the characters reimagined in a mechanical toy city scene. A giant robot version of Monkey D. Luffy stands in the center with a massive fist extended forward. To his left is a robotic Roronoa Zoro holding a sword, and to his right is a robotic Nami holding a staff. Usopp appears in the foreground as a smaller figure shouting upward, while other small townspeople and shop signs fill the street below. Small toy planes fly in the sky above them.

A large, grand mansion sits behind a closed wrought-iron gate. A heavy "DO--N!" sound effect hangs in the air. On the wide steps leading up to the mansion's entrance, a lone figure sits waiting. The man, Kuro, is dressed in a dark suit and glasses. He rests his chin on his hands, his fingers crossed, looking intensely annoyed. He mutters to himself, "WHY ARE THEY LATE..." as he adjusts his glasses with the palms of his hands, producing a "SRET SRET" sound.

A close-up focuses on Kuro's eye behind his glasses as he continues to seethe, saying, "AND STILL THEY DARE TO BE LATE..." The scene cuts to the interior of the mansion, where a man, Merry, lies face down on the floor in a pool of blood. Kuro's voice continues over the grim sight: "THOSE IDIOTS... SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO RUIN MY PLANS". Back outside, Kuro stands up from the steps with a "SUKU...!" sound, his expression darkening. He says, "IF THEY DARE FORGET ABOUT MY PLANS..." He begins walking purposefully toward the front gate, his footsteps making a "SUTA SUTA" sound, and declares, "I WILL KILL THEM ALL..."

The scene shifts to a view of the sky and treetops. Down on a rocky, uneven path, a wide shot reveals the aftermath of a battle. Jango stands in the foreground, facing away, surrounded by numerous defeated Black Cat Pirates scattered across the ground. Further down the path, Roronoa Zoro and Monkey D. Luffy stand victorious, while Usopp sits on the ground nearby. A heavy "DO--N!" sound effect emphasizes the scene, and Jango reacts with a silent ".........!!" bubble. Usopp, sitting on the ground and looking at Luffy and Zoro in awe, says, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE THIS STRONG..." The back of Luffy's straw hat is shown as he confidently replies, "OF COURSE!"

Nami looks annoyed and scolds someone off-panel, saying, "YOU'RE LATE... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?" Usopp, looking extremely pissed with a throbbing vein on his head, retorts, "IT WAS YOU WHO MADE ME FALL DOWN! AND NOW YOU'RE BLAMING ME?!" A wider shot shows Nami and Usopp arguing fiercely on the rocky path, while Luffy and Zoro stand calmly behind them. Nami yells, "I COULDN'T HELP IT! BETTER ONE PERSON FALL DOWN THAN BOTH OF US!" and adds, "THEN YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO FALL!" Usopp shouts back, "YOU BASTARD! YOU JUST SAID NORTH, YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHICH WAY NORTH IS!" He continues, "IT WAS YOUR FAULT FOR RUNNING SO FAST!" to which Nami replies, "I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU!" The scene shifts to Jango, who looks over his shoulder and calls out, "HEY! YOU IDIOTS!" He continues, "DON'T TELL ME YOU GUYS ARE FINISHED JUST FROM ONE BLOW FROM THOSE FOOLS?" On the ground, the defeated Black Cat Pirates begin to stir, groaning "OH... OOOH..." as they stagger to their feet.

Luffy looks surprised as he notices the stirring pirates, exclaiming, "AH! THEY'RE STILL ALIVE! THEY'RE PRETTY TOUGH!" Jango, looking serious, addresses his crew: "LISTEN! WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE HERE! SINCE THE OPPONENT IS STRONG, WE MUST BE STRONGER..." Jango then holds up his ringed pendulum by a string, instructing them, "COME! LOOK AT MY PENDULUM. AFTER I SAY '1, 2, JANGO' YOU GUYS WILL BECOME STRONGER!" The battered Black Cat Pirates stare blankly at the swinging pendulum as Jango continues his hypnotic suggestion: "YOUR WOUNDS WILL HEAL! AND YOU WILL BECOME MUCH STRONGER THAN BEFORE!!" Watching this bizarre display, Luffy asks, "WHAT'S THAT GUY DOING?" Usopp, standing next to him, replies, "I DUNNO..." Nami realizes what is happening and says, "IT MUST BE HYPNOTISM! HE'S TRYING TO MAKE THEM THINK THEY'RE STRONGER!" Usopp, sweating, adds, "THIS IS ABSURD!"

Jango begins his countdown while the battered Black Cat Pirates stare at the swinging pendulum. "ONE..." he says, as the pirates stagger weakly. "TWO..." he continues. Then, Jango suddenly pulls the brim of his hat down over his eyes with a "TAP" and shouts, "JANGO!!!" Nami, Usopp, Luffy, and Zoro watch in silence, with Nami uttering a confused "EHH..." Suddenly, the Black Cat Pirates erupt with explosive energy. They roar "UWOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!" at the top of their lungs. Their bodies bulge with newfound muscle, veins popping on their faces and arms as they brandish their swords, completely transformed from their previously weakened state into a frenzy of aggressive power.

Nami looks on in sheer disbelief, exclaiming, "NO WAY!? THEY WERE STILL SHAKY JUST A WHILE AGO!" One of the hypnotized Black Cat Pirates, bulging with unnatural muscle, yells "HEAH!" and throws a powerful punch directly into the solid rock face of the nearby cliff. Usopp watches, uttering a stunned "UH..." as a loud "CRACK!!" echoes. The impact of the pirate's punch causes a massive explosion of rock and debris, completely shattering a large section of the cliff wall. The pirates continue to roar "UOOOOO-OOOOOH!" in their frenzied state. Usopp is left wide-eyed and terrified, sweating profusely as he stammers, "HE CRUSHED THE WALL... HOW DID THEY GAIN SO MUCH STRENGTH!?"

Jango points forward, yelling, "GO..! KILL THOSE PESTS!!" Nami and Usopp look terrified. Nami realizes, "THEY HAVE... REALLY BEEN HYPNOTIZED!" Usopp trembles, noting, "IF JUST ONE GUY CAN CRUSH THE WALL... THEN THAT MANY GUYS..." The Black Cat Pirates charge forward with their weapons raised, roaring "OOOOO OOOOO OOOOH!!" Zoro draws his sword, looking serious, and tells Nami and Usopp, "YOU TWO HURRY AND GO UP THE SLOPE!" Nami answers, "WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS..." Zoro then looks back over his shoulder and calls out, "HEY! LUFFY!" Luffy stands completely still, his head bowed and his eyes hidden under the shadow of his straw hat. Jango looks confused, repeating, "LUFFY!?"

Luffy suddenly throws his head back, his mouth wide open, and lets out a massive roar: "YEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Large Japanese characters emphasize his shout. Zoro, Nami, and Usopp recoil in shock. Zoro yells, "YOU GOT HYPNOTIZED TOO?!?" Jango looks bewildered, uttering "EH!?" Usopp sweatdrops and says, "GOT HYPNOTIZED SO EASILY..." while Nami adds, "HE'S NOT YOUR AVERAGE IDIOT..." Luffy glares fiercely, veins bulging on his face as he roars "OOOO OOOO OOOO OOOO OOO!!" The hypnotized Black Cat Pirates charge toward him, also roaring "UWOO OOOO OOOO OOO!!" Zoro yells at him again, "HEY! LUFFY!!"

The Black Cat Pirates charge forward with axes and swords. Luffy pulls both of his arms far back, stretching them out unnaturally behind him with "SHU SHU" sound effects. He calls out, "GOMU GOMU". Luffy then unleashes a furious barrage of punches directly into the charging crowd. His fists blur into dozens of rapid strikes, creating a massive wall of impacts. He shouts, "GATLING GUN!!!" Large, jagged sound effects fill the air as the relentless punches connect with the pirates.

The sheer force of Luffy's attack sends the Black Cat Pirates flying helplessly into the air in all directions. They scream "UWA AAA AAA HHH!!!" as they are blasted backward, dropping their weapons. Luffy stands in the background, his arms still extended from the final punches. In the bottom panels, Luffy stands tall, crossing his arms in front of his chest with his fists clenched. Jango and Usopp stare at him in absolute shock. Jango stammers, "HIS ARMS..." while Usopp looks on with wide eyes.

Luffy charges forward with intense determination, his face set in an angry roar as he yells, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!" The sound of his rapid footsteps echoes around him. Jango is also caught up in the hypnosis and runs in a panic alongside the rush, screaming, "KYAAAAAAAH!!" with a heavy "DODODO!!" sound effect around him. A wide shot reveals Luffy sprinting past the defeated Black Cat Pirates scattered on the rocky shore, with the Black Cat pirate ship and its long-necked black cat figurehead visible nearby. Someone cries out, "WAAH!!" as Luffy rushes past with a "ZUDODODOO" rumble. Zoro, standing further up the slope, glances back over his shoulder with a sweatdrop, silently observing Luffy's erratic behavior with a "..." thought bubble. Reaching the ship, Luffy leaps up and grabs the long neck of the black cat figurehead with both hands. A loud "GASHI...!!" sound effect marks his firm grip, while a voice from off-panel yells, "ARGH!!"

Jango stares in disbelief, sweat pouring down his face as he stammers, "HE... WHAT'S HE DOING!?" Beside him, one of the battered Black Cat Pirates looks on in shock. Luffy, gripping the ship's figurehead, strains with all his might. His arm muscles bulge unnaturally as he pulls backward, letting out a fierce "AAARRGH!!!" The wood begins to give way with loud "MERI MERI MERI" creaking sounds. The long neck of the black cat figurehead bends backward under Luffy's immense strength, accompanied by sharp "BAKI BAKI" cracking noises. Nami and Usopp watch the spectacle from afar. Nami cheers him on, yelling, "GO! LUFFY!" while Usopp stands beside her, completely speechless, his eyes wide and mouth agape with a "!!!" reaction. With a final, explosive effort, Luffy completely snaps the massive figurehead off the ship. A violent "BOKI BAKI...!!" sound effect fills the air. The pirates panic, with one screaming, "WAAAH! HE'S TAKING OFF THE BOW! HE'S DESTROYING OUR SHIP!!" while another simply gasps, "OH!"

Luffy stands triumphantly, holding the massive, heavy black cat figurehead high above his head. He glares forward with a confident "HMPH!" as a pirate nearby yelps, "WAH!" The Black Cat Pirates scramble in absolute panic as Luffy begins to march toward them, carrying the colossal wooden cat head. A heavy "GOGO GOGO" rumbling sound effect follows his steps. The pirates scream in terror, "HE'S TRYING TO KILL US!!" and plead, "CAPTAIN! HELP US!!" Seeing the impending disaster, Jango quickly raises his ringed pendulum, shouting to Luffy, "I'LL SAY '1, 2, JANGO', AND YOU WILL FALL ASLEEP!" Jango begins to swing the pendulum with a sharp "BA!!" sound, starting his countdown: "ONE..." Luffy continues his charge, still holding the massive figurehead, his face contorted in a furious roar of "OOOOOOOOOH!!" as Jango continues, "TWO..." In the final panel, Jango pulls the brim of his hat down over his eyes with a "TAP" and shouts the final trigger word: "JANGO!!"

The hypnosis takes immediate effect. A close-up of Luffy shows his eyes closed, a peaceful "ZZZ..." bubble escaping his lips as he instantly falls asleep standing up. With Luffy unconscious, his grip on the massive black cat figurehead loosens. The colossal wooden structure begins to tip forward with a "KAKUN" sound effect. The pirates below scream "WAAAH!!!" in horror as they see the giant object falling toward them, while Luffy himself starts to tip backward, still snoring "ZZZ..." The massive figurehead crashes down onto the rocky shore with a devastating "DOSHUUUUU!!" impact, crushing the area where the pirates were standing. A massive cloud of dust and debris explodes outward. From beneath the crushing weight, a collective scream of "KYAAAAAAAH!!" rings out, while Luffy's "ZZZ..." bubble floats peacefully amidst the chaos. When the dust settles slightly, Luffy lies flat on his back on the ground, fast asleep and completely oblivious to the destruction he just caused, with steady "ZZZ... ZZZ..." bubbles rising from him.

A heavy silence falls over the rocky shore, emphasized by a large "SHI------N" sound effect. The massive wooden black cat figurehead lies detached on the ground. Jango stands nearby, his pendulum dangling loosely from his hand, staring in shock. He grits his teeth in anger, sweating as he mutters, "DAMN KID... RUINED OUR WHOLE PLAN..." He looks over at Luffy, whose head is pinned underneath the colossal weight of the ship's bow. Despite being crushed, Luffy is fast asleep, peaceful "ZZZ... ZZZ..." bubbles floating up from his face. Jango continues, terrified, "IF CAPTAIN KURO SEES THIS... HE WILL KILL EVERYBODY HERE!" Nearby, Nami, Usopp, and Zoro are recovering. Nami, sitting on the ground, says, "I THINK THEY'RE FINISHED NOW!" Usopp points frantically at Luffy, yelling, "HEY... HIS HEAD IS SQUASHED UNDER THE SHIP BOW!" Zoro sits calmly, resting his sword on his shoulder, and replies, "DON'T WORRY! HE WON'T DIE FROM THAT!" Nami angrily retorts to Zoro, "FIRST WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF! YOU'RE BLEEDING!"

Nami suddenly looks up, her attention caught by a voice calling out, "HEY BUCHI! COME LOOK! OUR SHIP'S HEAD IS WRECKED!!" The scene shifts to the Black Cat Pirates' ship moored at the edge of the cliff. Another voice from the ship responds, "WHAT!? WRECKED? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?" Jango looks up toward the ship, startled. Zoro stands up, resting his sword on his shoulder, and observes, "LOOKS LIKE THERE'S STILL SOMETHING ON THAT SHIP..." Jango, sweating nervously, recognizes the voices. He says, "OH... THAT VOICE... ITS THE SHIP'S GUARDS, THE NYABAN BROTHERS!" Nami and Usopp watch from the background. A dramatic close-up of Jango's face follows, backed by a heavy "DO--N!" sound effect. He looks stressed as he realizes, "OH YEAH, WE STILL HAVE... 'THOSE TWO'...!!!"

The scene shifts to Syrup Village. Kuro, dressed in his dark suit, walks briskly down a dirt path past the village houses. Heavy "GOGO" and "STOMP STOMP" sound effects accompany his determined strides. A close-up shows his hand reaching up with a "KACHA" sound. He then uses the palm of his hand to push his glasses up his nose, producing a "SRET" sound, his face set in a cold, serious expression. Large, ominous sound effects surround him as he walks. In the foreground, hiding behind a bush, young Tamanegi watches Kuro sneak by. Tamanegi, wearing his signature glasses, peeks out with a "DO-N" sound effect beside him. He thinks to himself, "SO IT'S THAT DAMN BUTLER FROM THE MANSION..." and wonders, "WHERE'S HE GOING SO EARLY IN THE MORNING?"

This is an SBS (Questions and Answers) corner. The header features an illustration of Luffy holding two signs that read "QUESTIONS" and "ANSWERS", with a large "SBS" logo in the center. The author answers several fan letters. One reader asks how far Luffy's arms can stretch. The author replies that he can stretch about "72 Gomu Gomu" and is trying to achieve a "100 Gomu Gomu" record. Another reader thanks the author for helping them pass their high school entry exam, to which the author responds with a confused "YES... HUH?!". A third question asks how characters are named, and the author explains they are chosen because they sound good, with some based on real pirate names. The final question asks why Luffy never kills his enemies, noting that Axe-Arm Morgan was killed by Zoro. The author clarifies that Morgan is still alive in jail. He explains that Luffy doesn't kill his enemies because in that era, people use their lives to fight for their dreams. Shattering an enemy's dream is as painful as death, so leaving them alive gives them a second chance to fight for their dreams.
