One Piece Chapter 14, page 7-8: Chapter 14: RECKLESS

Nami scolds Luffy, shouting, "DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM!!" Mayor Boodle, with tears in his eyes, looks back on the town's history, declaring, "FORTY YEARS OF HARD WORK!! THIS PLACE WAS A WILDERNESS WHEN WE GOT HERE." In a flashback, a group of young townspeople stand on a barren shore, declaring, "WE'LL BUILD OUR TOWN RIGHT HERE!" and "WE'LL FORGET OUR OLD TOWN THAT THE PIRATES DESTROYED." Boodle narrates, "AT FIRST, IT WAS JUST A FEW HOMES. BUT SLOWLY OUR NUMBERS GREW. WE WORKED HARD, CLEARED THE LAND. OVER TIME PEOPLE CAME AND OPENED UP SHOPS," showing scenes of the villagers building houses, fishing, and working together.

Mayor Boodle stands in the middle of the street, gesturing proudly to the town around him. "AND LOOK AT US NOW! WE'RE A THRIVING PORT! WE OLD TIMERS BUILT THIS TOWN FROM NOTHING! IT'S OUR LIFE'S WORK!" Luffy and Nami watch him silently. Boodle continues with deep emotion, "THIS TOWN AND ITS PEOPLE ARE MY TREASURE! I'D BE A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A MAYOR IF I DIDN'T TRY TO PROTECT THE TOWN! I'M GONNA FIGHT!!!" as he raises his spear high in the air, determined to face the pirates.
