Damage Report

No description for this page.

At the front gate of Enies Lobby, the island's defenders stare upward in disbelief at the two giants barring the path. Someone cries, "G... Giants for gate-keepers...!!" and another admits, "They're huge...!! The Monstrous Strength Death Trio looks cute compared to them...!!" The giant on the right grins down at the raiders and says, "I don't know what you're doing here..." while the other warns, "But you should go home 'fore I crush ya. Right, Oimo!?" Oimo agrees, "Yeah Kaashii, I think so too." With massive weapons in hand, Kashii declares, "We'll crush ya 'til your bones are all flat!!!" The Franky Family refuses to back away. They charge beneath the giants' shadows shouting, "Yup!!!" "For bro!!!" and "Oo... Oowah!!!" A voice rallies them: "Don't cower away, whatever the enemy, Franky Family!!!" The giants loom over the gate and answer with their own warning: "Now, go home!! We won't let you through!!"

The Franky Family's bruised but stubborn courage sharpens into a plan. One of them calls up, "Hey!! You know what to do?" The answers come back in nervous fragments: "Yeah." "Uh-huh!!" Then the family rushes straight between Oimo and Kashii. Their reasoning is simple and desperate: "We're the only ones who can go in!!!" They shout that "the strength we got from dismantling won't be far off from the giants'!!!" and invoke the "Monstrous Strength Death Trio!!" The trio hurls themselves forward with battle cries of "Daraaa!!!" and "Uryaaa!!" The order rings out, "Go!!!" The small fighters do not try to match the giants in size; they use momentum, demolition tools, and all the nerve they have earned tearing ships apart.

The clash erupts in a blur of impacts. The Franky Family's attackers slam into the giants from different angles, their small bodies whipping around Oimo and Kashii like wrecking tools. Limbs, weapons, and demolition gear strike against enormous torsos and legs while the panels explode with heavy sound effects and shocked "!!!" reactions. For a moment, it looks as if the raiders have found a way to stagger the gatekeepers. But the scale difference remains terrifying: every successful hit is answered by the giants' bulk and reach, and the movement of the page keeps the battle violent, crowded, and hard to control.

Oimo and Kashii are not intimidated. They boast, "We're natural-born fighters!!" and "We have a different kind of blood..." before finishing the thought: "than some tiny humans who are bigger than usual!!" The Franky Family answers by screaming "Oimo*!!!" with a note that Oimo can also mean "me too," but the giants stand firm and declare, "We won't let a single one of you pass!!!" Behind them, the raiders keep shouting encouragement: "H... Here!! Don't be scared!! Keep your morale up!!!" "Our bro, Franky, is on the other side of the gate!!!" and "Give them a shameless fight, in the name of bro!! Franky Family!!!" Then the apparent assault ends brutally. The so-called three champions are shown beaten almost immediately, and the witnesses gasp, "Defeated in an instant...!!!" and "The... The three of them..."

The remaining allies do not stop. Someone calls, "Are you ready?" and the answer comes with a running cry: "Ba!!!" "It's done, let's go!!!" Smoke rolls across the broken ground as the fighters sprint toward the gate again. Oimo and Kashii charge through the front line, shouting, "We won't allow anyone to pass through the gate!!!" and "We can't lose!!! We have to open the door and let the Rocket Man pass!!" The raiders understand the cost of that mission: the Sea Train needs the path opened if Luffy's rescue party is to continue deeper into Enies Lobby. Still, the giants keep trampling the advance. One defender panics, "Damn!!! We can't do anything about these monsters!!!" while another cries, "Waaah!!!" The page ends with the exhausted confusion of the battle turning toward a new sound: "Hm?"

The tide shifts when the Galley-La foremen arrive. One of them shouts, "Sorry we're late!! It took a little longer..." and another explains, "To get Sodom and Gomorrah onto dry land than expected!!" The Franky Family sees the reinforcements and yells, "The trio was beaten!!!" Their pride is not gone: "They were our best guys!!!" Yet the answer is immediate and calm: "Let's go!!" "Yeah!" Mozu and Kiwi snap into action as well, calling "Roger! Kiwi!!" and "Mozu!!" while telling their comrades, "Don't lose your cool." On the right side, a giant roars, "Out of the way, you over grown door-stops!!!" and the battlefield answers with names shouted like weapons: "Galley-La!!!" "Zanbai!! Mozu!! Kiwi!!" Kashii yells in pain, "Kaaashii!!?" and another giant cries, "Gyaaaa!!!" The reinforcements have turned panic back into forward motion.

The Galley-La shipwrights show why they are trusted on the sea. They do not simply swing at the giants; they use techniques born from ship dismantling and rigging. One attack cuts in with the cry, "Ship's Bottom Dismantling Cut!!" A hooked movement follows as someone notices, "Rope Action..." Then the coordinated strike tightens around a giant with "Timber Hitch Tug!!!" as the target howls, "Ooow owow owow!!!" Chains and ropes snap taut with "Ch-chk!!" and a stunned "Oh!!?" The page turns carpentry and shipwork into battle language: the same hands that can take apart a hull can also bind and pull a giant off balance.

The giants finally begin to suffer. One crashes backward, crying "Oo-gaah!!!" while another shouts "Kaashii!!!" The fighters surge around them, and the order "Get them!!!" cuts through the dust. Another Galley-La technique lands with the command "Tree-Nail Lock!!!" pinning into the giant's face and forcing out a pained "Ow owow!!!" The men on the ground are still tiny beside Oimo and Kashii, but now they are coordinated: ropes, nails, saws, and brute teamwork are being used in the right sequence. The fight no longer looks like a hopeless rush; it looks like craftsmen dismantling an obstacle piece by piece.

A giant stares at the attackers and mutters, "You..." only for a battered but fierce raider to stick out his tongue and mock him. The answer is pure fury: "I'll crush ya!!!" Kashii slams down, but the little fighters have drawn him into their trap. He is struck hard enough that someone cries, "Gyah!!!" A close view shows the painful result with "Crunch!" and another voice screams, "Ka... Ka... Kaashii!!!" Oimo watches with wide eyes, yelling "Oo-woah!!!" as the giant who seemed untouchable moments ago is forced into real damage. The scene makes clear that the defenders' size is no longer enough to keep the rescuers out.

The fighters celebrate the first real victory. Around the fallen giant, they shout, "Yes! One down!!!" and "One more to go!!!" Kashii curses from the ground, "Damn you!!" while the front gate trembles with the noise of battle. Inside Enies Lobby, a report reaches the command side: "Sir!! Kaashii and Oimo are currently... holding them off at the front gate!" The response is skeptical: "I don't believe there'll be any problem!!" Spandam, however, turns on the messenger and asks, "... I see. Have you captured the Straw Hat?" The reply comes uncertainly: "Sir!!! Er... The estimate is... about 400." Spandam snaps, "400? What're you talking about!?" The number hangs there like a disaster before anyone understands what it really means.

The confusion over the damage report explodes into action. In the middle of the battlefield, a spinning barrage tears through Marines and agents while someone screams, "Gi-yaaaaaa!!!!!" The attack name dominates the page: "Storm!!!!" Bodies are hurled outward in every direction as fists and motion lines fill the panel. A voice reports, "It's the damage report, sir!!!" What looked like a count of intruders becomes a count of casualties: the battle inside Enies Lobby is already leaving soldiers scattered across the ground. The page is not calm exposition; it is a violent correction, showing the damage before the command room can fully grasp the number.

The report reaches CP9 and the correction lands hard. A voice asks, "Ah!? Damage report!? Are you saying 400 soldiers are down!!?" The answer is immediately revised: "Ah... No, sorry. I'd like to correct that!! Since 100 more went down just now." Spandam, furious, shouts, "Five!? Idiot!! How could you mistake 5 for 400 people...?!" but the chaos outside proves the opposite: another voice insists, "Of course!!! There is only one of them!!! Our soldiers aren't trash! We can't have that many down!!! If there is damage, report it correctly!!!" As CP9 watches from the tower, Lucci calmly interprets the situation: "So this 'Straw Hat Luffy'... is running around the island, not fighting anyone." Someone adds, "Of course. No one would face that many soldiers unless they were brain dead!! ... It's only a matter of time now." At the bottom, the lookout calls, "Captain!! Lucci and company are here." The order returns: "They are!!? Show them in!!!"

Five minutes after the assault began, the Rocket Man and the sea beasts reach the outer area of Enies Lobby with a roaring "Wooowooo!!" and repeated rail sounds of "Shp shp." Someone announces, "OK, it's been 5 minutes." Outside, the report is practical and urgent: "The two gates should be open now!!" and the order goes up, "Attack!! Attack!!" Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Sogeking, Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe stand near Zoro as the plan narrows. Zoro says, "We'll go one at a time..." while Sanji complains, "Hey Sogeking, I wanted to ask about... how to use this cold air rod..." Sogeking snaps back, "I don't know! Don't ask me!!" Chopper cries, "Nyaa nyaa nyaa!" At the bottom, Zoro sits composed with his swords and receives the handoff: "Samurai-man, we'll leave the iron railing to you!!" Zoro answers, "Leave it to me...!!!" while someone croaks, "Gero!!" The chapter ends with the next obstacle assigned to the swordsman.
