One Piece Chapter 11: Chapter 11: FLIGHT

Chapter 11: FLIGHT. This chapter has 19 searchable pages. Opening and key page summaries: The title page of Chapter 11, titled "FLIGHT," features Monkey D. Luffy running at full speed alongside a spotted cheetah across a grassy savanna under a cloudy sky. Luffy's straw hat flies off his head as he races the wild animal with a determined grin. With a heavy "FLUMP!! FLUMP!!" sound, Buggy's sliced body parts fall to the ground. Roronoa Zoro stands triumphantly with his three swords drawn, sheathing one in his mouth as he mutters, "HMPH! THAT WAS ALMOST DISAPPOINTING..." However, in the background, Buggy's crew members begin to snicker and laugh, saying "HEH HEH HEH..." Zoro looks back in confusion, wondering why they are laughing at their captain's apparent demise. Nami is completely bewildered by the pirates' reaction, thinking, "WHAT'S WITH THOSE PIRATES? THEIR CAPTAIN GETS KILLED AND THEY JUST LAUGH ABOUT IT?" Meanwhile, Luffy calls out from his iron cage, "HEY ZOLO! GET ME OUTTA HERE!" Zoro walks over to inspect the cage and says, "WE CAN'T OPEN THIS WITHOUT A KEY. THESE BARS ARE TOO THICK FOR ME TO CUT THROUGH." Luffy responds with a disappointed "OH..." Zoro turns back to the laughing crew and demands, "NOW HAND OVER THE KEYS TO THIS CAGE BEFORE I GET CRANKY." The pirates only laugh harder, shouting "HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!!" and "VERY FUNNY..." Luffy comments, "THOSE GUYS ARE KINDA CREEPY." Suddenly, a sharp "CHUNK!" sound echoes. With a sudden "FWMP" and a painful "NNGH...", Zoro is stabbed directly through the back by a disembodied hand holding a dagger. Luffy screams in shock, "ZOLO!?" Nami gasps, "WHAT THE--!? THAT HAND--!" Buggy's crew erupts into hysterical laughter, shouting "BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" and pointing at the wounded swordsman. Zoro quickly spins around, slashing at the air with a "SHCK" and "FWIP!" to defend himself, but the floating hand flies away with a "SHOO" sound. Zoro clutches his bleeding side, gasping, "WHAT'S GOING ON...!?" Nami watches in disbelief, shouting, "THE HAND... IT'S FLOATING!" The hand flies back toward Buggy's severed torso with a "FWOM FWOM" sound. Luffy, watching from the cage, suddenly realizes what is happening and yells, "THE CHOP-CHOP FRUIT...!!!" With a loud "DOOM!" sound effect, Buggy stands fully reassembled and unharmed, laughing maniacally. He boasts, "YOU CAN SLICE AND DICE ME, BUT YOU CAN'T KILL ME!!! I'M A CHOP-CHOP MAN! THAT'S THE DEVIL FRUIT THAT I ATE!!!" Luffy is amazed, shouting, "THAT GUY'S A FREAK!! CHOP-CHOP MAN!?" while a small label identifies Luffy as a "GUM-GUM MAN." Zoro grunts in pain, sweating as he realizes the trick. Nami is stunned, saying, "THIS BODY IS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN! I THOUGHT THE STORIES ABOUT THE DEVIL FRUIT WERE JUST MYTHS!" Buggy smiles wickedly, taunting Zoro: "LOOKS LIKE I MISSED YOUR VITALS... BUT YOU STILL TOOK A SERIOUS WOUND! RORONOA ZOLO! YOU NEVER HAD A CHANCE!" His crew cheers wildly, shouting, "FINISH HIM! FINISH HIM! CAPTAIN BUGGY, YOU'RE THE GREATEST! YEAAHH!" Zoro, kneeling and clutching his bleeding wound, thinks to himself, "I CAME TO SAVE LUFFY, NOW I'M THE ONE WHO NEEDS SAVING. I HEARD THAT THIS CLOWN HAD EATEN DEVIL-TREE FRUIT... I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED..." Nami looks on in terror, realizing, "NOT GOOD. THE TABLES HAVE TURNED... IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING, THOSE TWO WILL END UP DEAD--AND SO WILL I!!!" Luffy watches silently from inside his cage. Luffy suddenly screams at the top of his lungs, "STABBING SOMEONE IN THE BACK... THAT'S FIGHTING DIRTY!! YOU GOT THAT, BIG NOSE!??" Buggy and his entire crew freeze in absolute shock, letting out a collective "GASP!!!" Nami panics, thinking, "YOU FOOL! THAT'S THE ONE THING YOU NEVER--" Buggy's face contorts with pure rage as he screams, "YOU DARE TO CALL ME 'BIG NOSE'!?" and launches his detached fist straight forward with a loud "FWIP!" Later page summaries: Through the coughing and smoke ("COFF COFF", "FWFF FWFF"), Buggy's voice calls out, "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Luffy warns Zoro, "ZOLO, DON'T DO THIS! YOUR GUTS'LL SQUIRT OUT!" Zoro grunts in pain ("NNGH!!") and lifts the massive iron cage containing Luffy onto his back with a heavy "HP!" sound. Blood squirts violently from Zoro's stab wound ("G-SPURT!", "SPURT!"). Zoro grins through the pain and says, "I DO THINGS MY OWN WAY!" Nami is horrified, asking, "HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?" Zoro replies, "THEN I'LL JUST SHOVE 'EM BACK IN!" Zoro walks away carrying the heavy cage, telling Nami, "SO DON'T GIVE ME ANY LIP ABOUT IT!" Nami watches him go, completely stunned, thinking, "I DON'T GET IT! NO PIRATE WOULD SACRIFICE HIMSELF TO SAVE A FRIEND!" Meanwhile, Buggy's crew coughs in the clearing smoke, wondering, "WHERE'D THEY GO!?" With a loud "KRAKOOM," the smoke clears to reveal the empty rooftop. A crew member reports, "THEY'RE GONE, CAP'N!" Buggy is furious: "IMPOSSIBLE! IT'S AN IRON CAGE! IT TOOK FIVE OF US TO MOVE IT!" Another crew member suddenly notices something and screams, "OH NO!! IT'S GONE TOO!! THE KEY TO THE CAGE... SOMEONE TOOK IT!" Buggy demands, "WHAT'S GONE!?" With a loud "KRASH!" and an "OOF!", Zoro collapses in a deserted alleyway, dropping the heavy iron cage. Zoro pants heavily, sweating and bleeding ("HUF HUF", "PHEW..."). Inside the cage, Luffy reveals that he has the key in his mouth, his heart beating rapidly ("BA-BUMP BA-BUMP"). Luffy tries to unlock the cage from the inside, creating loud "KLANG KLANG" sounds as he complains, "DARN IT! IF ONLY I COULD GET OUT OF THIS CAGE!!!" Zoro sits exhausted against a wooden wall, muttering, "WE'RE IN A... FINE MESS..." Luffy replies, "NOW WE GOTTA FINISH WHAT WE STARTED." They look around the empty streets, noting the main street and empty tavern are completely deserted. Back at the pirate base, Buggy is in a state of absolute fury, smashing tables and chairs with a loud "KRASH!" as he screams, "THOSE THREE ARE TRYING TO MAKE A FOOL OF ME!!! NO MORE CLOWNING AROUND!!!" He turns to his crew and roars, "WHO AM I!?" The crew stands at attention, shouting back, "PIRATE CAPTAIN BUGGY THE CLOWN!!" and "DAMN STRAIGHT!" Buggy growls with a deep "GRRRRRRR" and declares, "I CONSIDER THIS A DECLARATION OF WAR!!! CLEARLY WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH COMMON THIEVES!!!"
