Minato Shobo
Question
His plan failed, he was covered in blood, and he was exposed in front of many people. His cries for help went unheard. However, he was thanked and respected by many people for it. Who is he?
Numano Ayu
When you cry for help but no one hears you, it makes a huge difference whether your voice is “physically” inaccessible or “circumstantial”…!
Mochimochi Taro
Was the plan related to combat?
Minato Shobo
Minato Shobo: Yes
Hotaru Hill
Was the place he was exposed an execution platform-like place?
Minato Shobo
No (not an execution platform)
Numano Ayu
Was his voice not heard because he couldn’t be physically heard?
Minato Shoten
No
Sora Utsugi
Are he a pirate?
Minato Shoten
Yes
Hilari Mayo
Was the place you were exposed on the ocean?
Minato Shoten
No (Not on the ocean)
Ran Nanohana
Was the operation solo?
Minato Shoten
No (Cooperative operation with allies)
Shinshinmaru
Was it too noisy to hear your voice?
Minato Shoten
No
Mizukinon
Did he die in the main story?
Minato Shoten
No
Kasumi Bridge
Was the place you were exposed inside a building?
Minato Shoten
Yes (inside the building)
Hotaru Hill
Was the attacker from the Navy?
Minato Shoten
No
Sora Utsugi
Have you ever met Luffy?
Minato Shoten
Yes
Mochimochi Taro
Was he captured and held captive?
Minato Shoten
No (He was captured, but I wouldn’t call him held captive.)
Mayo Hirari
Are you referring to the events that took place at sea in the first half of the series?
Minato Shoten
No
Shinshinmaru
Was it caused by a pirate conflict?
Minato Shoten
Yes
Nanohana Ran
There was a bloody fight between pirates inside the building, they were on a mission with their allies, and they weren’t arrested.
That building isn’t a government or naval facility, right?
Just to be safe, is it a government facility?
Minato Shoten
No, it’s not a government facility.
Hotaruzaka
Is that character a supporting character rather than a main character?
Minato Shoten
No, he’s one of the main characters.
Origami Cloud
Is that bloody scene
animated?
Minato Shoten
Yes, it has been animated.
Nanohana Ran
Was that building
an enemy hideout (enemy territory/base)?
Minato Shobo
Yes, it was an enemy hideout.
Sora Soragi
By “exposed,” do you mean that he was made an example of, like a public execution?
Minato Shobo
No, it wasn’t a public execution. The person who exposed him had no ill will, and it ended up being like he was exposed.
Origami Cloud
Was he covered in blood due to a physical attack like a punch or slash?
Minato Shobo
In the original comic, the battle scene was skipped after the fight began, and by the next scene he was already covered in blood.
Mizuki Non
Was that character’s “plan” some kind of infiltration mission?
Minato Shobo
Yes, it feels like an infiltration operation.
Nanohana Ran
Is the “enemy” who left that character covered in blood a Devil Fruit user?
Minato Shobo
Yes, they are.
Mizuki Non
If you say they “infiltrated” the enemy hideout,
does that mean they infiltrated while disguised or hidden?
Minato Shobo
Yes, it was a hidden operation.
Hotaruzaka
When you say “exposed,”
you mean not tied to a chair or wall, right?
(You already said “they were restrained, but not tied down,” so I’m just confirming.)
Was they exposed by hanging?
Minato Shobo
No. Hanged is a different expression, but the situation is similar.
Origami Cloud
Is the reason this character was respected because the infiltration mission was intended to save his comrades?
Minato Shobo
Neither. It was an act of saving his comrades, but he was respected by people who weren’t originally his comrades, and he ended up saving them.
Nanohana Ran
If he was respected by people who weren’t his comrades, does that mean the “saved people” were ordinary civilians?
Minato Shobo
No. There were no ordinary civilians. It was people who could fight, including pirates.
Nanohana Ran
Is this character male?
Minato Shobo
Yes, I’m a man.
Mizukinon
If it’s an enemy hideout,
does the enemy force have a name as a pirate crew (organization)?
Minato Shobo
Yes
Hotaru Saka
Does that character
have a bounty in the main story?
Minato Shobo
Yes
Origami Cloud
Does that “exposed and respected” scene
happen near the climax of the same arc?
Minato Shobo
No
Sora Utsugi
The enemy hideout where that incident happened…
Is it set in Dressrosa?
Minato Shobo
! Yes!
Nanohana Ran
Was her bloodied and exposed appearance during a mission to save the “toyed people”?
Minato Shobo
Yes!!!
Sora Utsugi
Got it!!
Ran Nanohana
Got it!
Hotaruzaka
I’m late…
Minato Shobo
Sora Utsugi was early.
Who is he?
Here’s the answer!
Sora Utsugi
God Usopp!!!
Minato Shobo
Correct!!
Congratulations!! !!
Origami Cloud
I got the answer!
Shinshinmaru
I don’t know why!
Sora Utsugi
Yay! I did it!!
Hilari Mayo
I thought so!
Mochimochi Taro
Please explain!
Ayu Numano
Congratulations!!
Hotaruzaka
Congratulations!
Minato Shoten
This is the scene from the Dressrosa Sugar raid.
The plan fails, and Usopp is assaulted and covered in blood. ⇒
Minato Shoten
After defeating Sugar, Heildin picks Usopp up. ⇒
Kasumi Bridge
Yes, yes.
Minato Shoten
This is the scene where Usopp pleads with her to let him off, but is mistaken for someone else because he can’t make a sound, and is thanked.
Mayo Hirari
So that’s what it means to be exposed and not have your voice heard.
Mochimochi Taro
I see.
Minato Shobo
So, congratulations, Sora Utagi!!
Sora Utagi
Thank you!!
