Chapter 30 · GREAT!!!

00AI-written

The chapter title page erupts with a massive splash illustration. Monkey D. Luffy stands triumphantly at the center in his straw hat and black vest, his right arm massively stretched and enlarged as it smashes forward. A hulking armored cyborg-like figure looms beside him with sword drawn. Below, a chaotic crowd of pirates and townspeople react in panic and excitement amid flying debris and shattered buildings. Nami stands ready with a staff, while other figures including a long-nosed sniper and various combatants fill the scene under a bright sky dotted with small flying machines.

A grand mansion looms behind iron gates. Massive sound effects shake the building: "ドンッ！" and "ゴォオオオオ！" A lone figure sits motionless on the steps. Inside a close-up, Klahadore adjusts his glasses with both hands raised, eyes narrowed behind the lenses. Speech bubbles read "SRET" twice. He mutters, "WHY ARE THEY LATE..."

Klahadore

Klahadore's intense glare fills a panel as he thinks, "AND STILL THEY DARE TO BE LATE..." and "THOSE IDIOTS..." A body lies sprawled on the mansion floor beside the words "SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO RUIN MY PLANS." He dashes down a corridor with motion lines, declaring "IF THEY SHOULD FORGET ABOUT MY PLANS..." The final panel shows him outside the gates, face twisted in fury as he shouts "I WILL KILL THEM ALL..." amid large sound effects "ズタズタ" and "ズタァオオオオオ."

A forest path is littered with unconscious bodies. Sound effects "ドンッ！" and "ドン！" echo. Luffy stands with his back to the viewer in his straw hat while Usopp sits on the ground nearby. Usopp says, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE THIS STRONG..." Luffy replies simply, "OF COURSE!" More defeated figures lie scattered along the path.

The masked man glares furiously, shouting, "IT WAS YOU WHO MADE ME FALL DOWN! AND NOW YOU'RE BLAMING MEI!" A blonde girl snaps back, "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONGI" and "YOU'RE LATE..." Below, the argument escalates among the group on the path: "I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU!" "IT WAS YOUR FAULT FOR RUNNING SO FAST!" "YOU BASTARD! YOU JUST SAID NORTH, YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHICH WAY NORTH IS!" "THEN YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO FALL!" "I COULDN'T HELP IT! BETTER ONE PERSON FALL DOWN THAN BOTH OF US!" Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and the blonde girl stand facing the masked man. In the lower panel, the masked man clutches his head in shock as a long-haired figure with a weapon looms over fallen pirates, yelling "DON'T TELL ME YOU GUYS ARE FINISHED JUST FROM ONE BLOW FROM THOSE FOOLSI" and "HEY! YOU IDIOTS!" while the defeated men groan "OH... OOOOH..." and "よろろろ..."

Jango declares, "SINCE THE OPPONENT IS STRONG, WE MUST BE STRONGER..." and "LISTEN! WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE HERE!" Luffy stares in surprise, exclaiming "AH! THEY'RE STILL ALIVE!" and "THEY'RE PRETTY TOUGH!" Jango continues, "AND YOU WILL BECOME MUCH STRONGER THAN BEFORE!!" "YOUR WOUNDS WILL HEAL!" while raising his pendulum and announcing "AFTER I SAY '1, 2, JANGO' YOU GUYS WILL BECOME STRONGER! COME! LOOK AT MY PENDULUM" The Black Cat Pirates watch intently. Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Zoro observe from the side; Nami cries "THIS IS ABSURD!" Usopp adds "IT MUST BE HYPNOTISM! HE'S TRYING TO MAKE THEM THINK THEY'RE STRONGER!" while Luffy wonders "WHAT'S THAT GUY DOINGI" and Usopp mutters "I DUNNO..."

Jango taps his pendulum and shouts "JANGO!!!" counting "ONE..." "TWO..." The Black Cat Pirates stare as the hypnosis takes hold, with sound effects "よろろろ" and motion lines. Luffy's group watches in shock; Nami gasps "EHH..." Suddenly the hypnotized pirates explode into a frenzy, roaring with massive impact SFX "ドタタタタタタ" and "UOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!" as they charge forward with weapons raised, eyes wild and bodies surging with unnatural strength.

The hypnotized pirates smash into the cliffside with tremendous force, cracking the rock as Nami yells "THEY WERE STILL SHAKY JUST A WHILE AGO!" and "NO WAY!I" Luffy charges in, shouting "HEAAH!" and delivering a powerful strike with impact SFX "ドゴッ!" The wall shatters violently under their assault, sending debris flying while the pirates bellow "UOOOOO-OOOOOOH!" Kuro watches in horror from the foreground, exclaiming "HOW DID THEY GAIN SO MUCH STRENGTH!I" and "HE CRUSHED THE WALL..."

Jango, heart-shaped sunglasses gleaming, bares his teeth and commands, "GO...! KILL THOSE PESTS!!" Usopp and Nami stare in horror from the slope as the hypnotized Black Cat Pirates surge forward. "IF JUST ONE GUY CAN CRUSH THE WALL... THEN THAT MANY GUYS..." Nami gasps. "THEY HAVE... REALLY BEEN HYPNOTIZED!" The frenzied crew roars "OOOOO OOOOO OOOOH!!" as they charge. Merry, the butler, gives a thumbs-up and urges, "WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS... YOU TWO HURRY AND GO UP THE SLOPE!" Luffy suddenly appears on the path. A masked fighter spots him and cries out, "LUFFY!I" while another shouts, "HEY! LUFFY!"

Luffy throws his arms wide and bellows in shock, "YOU GOT HYPNOTIZED TOOI!I" as massive SFX "おおおお" and "Y E A A A A A A H H H!!!" erupt around him. The hypnotized pirates lunge with weapons; one yells "ガガーーン!!" while SFX read "SHOCKED!!" and "AAAA...". Nami clutches Usopp and says, "GOT HYPNOTIZED SO EASILY..." Usopp adds, "HE'S NOT YOUR AVERAGE IDIOT..." Jango, sweating, reacts with "EH!I" Luffy then roars again, "HEY! LUFFY!!" and charges into the mob with a furious "UWOO OOOO OOOO OOO!!" as the hypnotized crew is sent flying.

Luffy stretches his arms back amid the chaos. "GOMU GOMU" echoes as his fists blur. The hypnotized pirates swing weapons wildly. Luffy unleashes a devastating barrage; huge impact SFX "リガリリリリリリリリ!!!" and "!!!I" fill the panel. His rapid punches become a storm of fists labeled "GAT-LING GUN!!!" that slam into the entire enemy line, sending bodies and debris flying backward.

Luffy's stretched arms whip through the air like rubber whips, striking multiple hypnotized pirates at once. Bodies tumble through the air with screams of "UWA AAA AAA HHH!!!" One pirate is sent flying high while others crash down. In the aftermath panels, Luffy stands with his back turned, hat low. Jango stares in disbelief, heart sunglasses visible, and gasps, "HIS ARMS..." as the remaining crew reacts with shock and confusion.

Explosive impacts rock the area as Luffy takes repeated blows, his face twisted in pain while a spiky-haired fighter and a wide-mouthed ally roar nearby. "KYA AAA AAA AH!!" Luffy yells amid the chaos. The scene shifts to the shoreline where the Going Merry sits offshore; a massive dust cloud erupts as Luffy is hurled backward. "WAAH!!" he cries. On the deck, Luffy slams into the mast, gripping it desperately. "ARGH!!" he shouts as the wood cracks. A sweating bald pirate watches in shock from the side, sweat flying.

Luffy strains against the mast, muscles bulging. "AAARRGH!!!" he roars. Nearby, a bandana-wearing pirate stares in disbelief. "WHAT'S HE DOING!I" A cat-masked figure sweats heavily. "HE..." The black cat silhouette lunges forward with blinding speed, claws slashing the deck. "WAAAH! HE'S TAKING OFF THE BOW! HE'S DESTROYING OUR SHIP!!" crew members scream. A girl with pigtails yells, "GO! LUFFY!" while others gape in horror. Massive impact lines and debris fly as the ship begins to split.

The cat-masked attacker continues his rampage, splintering wood. "HE'S TRYING TO KILL US!!" the crew shouts. Luffy is flung through the air. "WAH!" A pirate begs, "CAPTAIN! HELP US!!" Jango appears, raising his ringed pendulum with a confident grin. "HMPH!" he scoffs. "I'LL SAY '1, 2, JANGO', AND YOU WILL FALL ASLEEP!" He begins the count: "ONE..." Luffy, dazed on the ground, hears the second number. "TWO..." Jango's hypnosis takes hold as the crew reacts in panic.

Jango's hypnosis spreads across the battlefield. "ZZZ..." several figures slump unconscious. The cat-masked fighter laughs triumphantly. "WAAAH!!!" Luffy remains the only one standing amid the fallen crew. With a powerful kick, Luffy sends the hypnotized cat figure flying in a massive arc. "KYAA AAA AAA AH!!" the attacker screams as impact lines and dust explode outward. The remaining pirates lie sprawled on the deck, completely asleep under the spell.

A heavy silence hangs over the cliffside as a cloaked figure with a heart-shaped mask stands poised, extending a thin chain with a spinning weight toward the black cat silhouette on the wrecked ship’s bow. Below, two crew members lie unconscious under a fallen log, snoring with zzz... bubbles. One whispers in panic, "IF CAPTAIN KURO SEES THIS... HE WILL KILL EVERYBODY HERE!" Nearby, Jango sweats heavily, heart-shaped eyes wide, shouting "DAMN KID... RUINED OUR WHOLE PLAN..." In the lower scene, a masked man with a large weapon stands over two fallen figures while a curly-haired boy and a blonde girl watch. The masked man says, "FIRST WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF! YOU'RE BLEEDING!" The boy replies, "DON'T WORRY! HE WON'T DIE FROM THAT!" The girl adds, "HEY... HIS HEAD IS SQUASHED UNDER THE SHIP BOW!" and concludes, "I THINK THEY'RE FINISHED NOW!"

The wrecked ship tilts dramatically as a voice cries, "WHAT!I WRECKEDI HOW THAT DID HAPPEN!I" A short-haired girl stares in shock. From the wreckage a voice shouts, "HEY BUCHI! COME LOOK! OUR SHIP'S HEAD IS WRECKED!!" On the path, a swordsman with three blades stands alert, noting "LOOKS LIKE THERE'S STILL SOMETHING ON THAT SHIP..." Two cat-masked pirates, the Nyaban Brothers, lie sprawled; one groans "IT'S THE SHIP'S GUARDS, THE NYABAN BROTHERS!" while another voice reacts "OH... THAT VOICE..." Large SFX "DO--N!" erupts as a close-up reveals glaring eyes and the exclamation "THOSE TWO"...!!!! followed by "OH YEAH, WE STILL HAVE..."

Klahadore stands in a village street, adjusting his glasses with a stern expression as large SFX "ゴォオオオ" rumble around him. A close-up shows his hand pushing the glasses up with "SRET" and continued rumbling effects. In a small panel a hand grips a doorknob. Elsewhere a bespectacled child peeks from behind a tree, asking "WHERE'S HE GOING SO EARLY IN THE MORNINGI" with SFX "どーん". The child realizes "SO IT'S THAT DAMN BUTLER FROM THE MANSION..." while nearby a cloaked figure walks away under trees with SFX "ズタ... ズタ..." and a large pumpkin sits in the foreground. The page header reads "ONE PIECE 4".

An SBS page features Luffy holding large signs labeled "QUESTIONS" and "ANSWERS". Reader questions and Oda's replies are printed: "D: HOW FAR CAN LUFFY'S ARMS STRETCHI PLEASE TELL ME. O: HE CAN STRETCH THEM REALLY FAR. RIGHT NOW, LUFFY CAN STRETCH ABOUT 72 GOMU GOMU. BUT LUFFY IS NOW WORKING HARD, TRYING TO ACHIEVE 100 GOMU GOMU RECORD." "D: HELLO! I PASSED MY HIGH SCHOOL ENTRY EXAM AND GOT INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL I WANTED, ALL BECAUSE OF ODA-SENSEI! THANK YOU SENSEI! O: YES...............................................HUHI!" "D: HOW DID YOU NAME THE CHARACTERSI O: NAMES... MOST OF THEM WERE CHOSEN BECAUSE THEY SOUNDED GOOD FOR THE CHARACTERS. ALSO, SOME OF THEM ARE BASED ON REAL PIRATE NAMES." "D: HOW COME LUFFY NEVER KILLS HIS ENEMIESI THROUGHOUT "ONE PIECE" MANGA SO FAR, HE DIDN'T KILL MOHJI AND HELMEPPO, BUT AXE-ARM MORGAN WAS KILLED BY ZORO, WHY IS THATI O: HMM! THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. FIRST, I HAVE TO ANNOUNCE THAT MORGAN IS STILL ALIVE. HE'S CURRENTLY IN JAIL, WHERE HE WAS PLACED BY HIS FORMER SUBORDINATES. WHY DOESN'T LUFFY KILL HIS ENEMIESI BECAUSE IN THAT ERA, EVERYONE USES THEIR LIVES TO FIGHT FOR THEIR DREAMS. FOR AN ENEMY, WHEN THEIR DREAM HAS BEEN SHATTERED, IT IS THE SAME AS LOSING A FIGHT, AND AS PAINFUL AS DEATH. I BELIEVE, FOR A PIRATE NOT TO KILL AN ENEMY, IT'S GIVING THEM A 2ND CHANCE TO FIGHT FOR THEIR DREAMS."
