One Piece Chapter 32: Grave Danger

Grave Danger. This chapter has 19 searchable pages. Opening and key page summaries: The title page of Chapter 32, titled "Grave Danger," features a stylized illustration of Nami dressed in an elegant Chinese cheongsam, sitting gracefully on a decorative chair while holding a feather fan. Behind her, Monkey D. Luffy holds a long staff and smiles widely, while Roronoa Zoro stands in the background with a serious expression, holding a sword. A large, fierce Chinese dragon coils around them in the background. Nami watches the battlefield in horror, shouting, "OH NO, THAT GUY TOOK ZORO'S KATANAS!!!" beside a heavily injured Usopp. Down on the slope, Roronoa Zoro stands with only a single katana in hand, facing Sham of the Nyaban Brothers. Zoro demands, "GIVE ME BACK MY KATANAS...!!" Sham, crouching in a cat-like stance, mockingly replies, "GIVE THEM BACK? ISN'T YOUR KATANA ALREADY IN YOUR HAND?" In the background, Buchi and a tall man wearing a dark captain's coat, a black top hat, and heart-shaped sunglasses watch the confrontation. Zoro glares silently at his opponent. Sham smiles slyly, saying, "OH RIGHT, BEFORE THE BATTLE STARTS......I SHOULD..." With a swift motion, Sham draws Zoro's other two katanas from his sash and flings them away, shouting, "GET THIS JUNK OUT OF THE WAY" as they clatter onto the dirt path. Zoro's expression darkens with intense rage, marked by the text "PISSED..." Infuriated, Zoro lunges forward and slashes Sham across the chest, roaring, "DON'T TREAT OTHERS' KATANAS... WITH DISRESPECT!!" Sham, licking his claws, calmly says, "OKAY... NOW THAT'S BETTER..." right before the blade connects with a loud slash. Sham gasps, "AH!!?" as the strike lands. Usopp cheers from the sidelines, "WOW, POWERFUL!!" while Buchi and the tall man in the top hat watch. Buchi declares, "IT'S MY TURN NOW...!!" However, Sham is shown bending completely backward, completely unharmed by the slash. He sneers, "DID YOU THINK YOU ACTUALLY CUT ME JUST NOW?" Zoro ignores him and runs past to retrieve his discarded katanas, muttering, "DAMN IT... HOW COULD HE TREAT MY KATANAS LIKE THIS!!" Sham's eyes widen as he prepares to counter. Before Zoro can reach his swords, Sham leaps onto his back, pinning his arms and body. Sham laughs, "TOO BAD... I HAVE A VERY THIN WAIST!!" Zoro grunts in shock, "WHAT?!" Sham calls out, "GO, BUCHI!! IT'S YOUR TURN!!!" From the sidelines, Usopp is stunned by Sham's flexibility, exclaiming, "THAT GUY... HE'S ACTUALLY VERY THIN!!" Buchi leaps high into the air, shouting, "OKAY! GOT IT, SHAM!!" Zoro struggles under Sham's grip, groaning, "UGH!!" Buchi prepares his heavy aerial attack, yelling, "CAT TECHNIQUE!! BUCHI'S..." as he descends rapidly. Nami screams in terror, "LOOK OUT!!" Buchi comes crashing down with a devastating "DROP KICK!" directly onto the spot where Zoro was pinned. Zoro barely manages to slip out of Sham's grasp and roll away at the last second, crying out, "ARGH!!" Later page summaries: Nami realizes what needs to be done, thinking, "IF THIS GOES ON... I HAVE TO GET HIS KATANAS BACK!! IF I CAN GET ZORO HIS KATANAS, HE WILL DEFINITELY WIN!" Usopp tries to stop her, saying, "IN THAT CASE, LET ME GO!!!" but Nami replies, "DON'T OVERDO IT, YOU'RE BADLY HURT!!" She dashes down the slope. Usopp calls out, "HEY!" while the tall man in the top hat spots her, wondering, "WHAT'S SHE DOING...?!" Nami reaches the spot where Zoro's katanas are lying, thinking, "IF ONLY I CAN PASS HIM THE KATANAS...!!" Suddenly, the tall man in the top hat appears behind her, asking coldly, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THOSE KATANAS?" He slashes her across the back with a circular blade weapon. Nami screams, "AH!!!" and collapses to the ground, bleeding. Usopp cries out in despair, "DAMN HIM!! EVEN OUR LAST GLIMMER OF HOPE...!!" Suddenly, the tall man in the top hat freezes and begins to shake violently in sheer terror. He stammers, "AH...!! I... I... I CAN EXPLAIN......!!" Zoro, Usopp, Sham, and Buchi all look confused. The man trembles, whispering, "CAP... CAP... CAPTAIN... KURO...!!" A dark silhouette of a man wearing glasses and long clawed gloves appears at the top of the slope. The Black Cat Pirates tremble, muttering, "WE... WE'RE DONE FOR..." while Usopp despairs, "OH NO! HE CHOSE SUCH A BAD TIME TO APPEAR!!" Captain Kuro stands at the top of the slope, looking down at his crew. He says coldly, "IT HAS BEEN PRETTY LONG SINCE DAWN. I WAS WONDERING WHY THE PLAN WASN'T CARRIED OUT..." He then glares with immense fury, screaming, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" Meanwhile, at the bottom of the slope, Monkey D. Luffy and a young woman with light-colored hair are shown sleeping soundly on the ground, completely oblivious to the danger.
