Mr. 11: {What the hell was that?}
	Did something happen in town...?
	All those stupid Marines got off the ship...
	Oh well...  hehe, perfect for me.
	Now I just have to get free somehow...!!!

Man: Mr. 11.

Mr. 11: Huh?

 - Page 69 -

Mr. 11: You know my code name...
	Then you must be... "Millions"?!
	Quit staring and start untying!!

Men: Well...  we ARE from Baroque Works.
	We're "Billions".
	In other words, members eligible to be Number Agents.
	Mr. 11...  a quasi-agent such as yourself will never change.

Mr. 11: Oh...  sorry, Billions.
	Would you hurry up and untie these ropes?

Billions: Don't be ridiculous.
	I'm going to open up a free Number Agent seat.

Mr. 11: Hey!!  No, wait!!!

 - Page 70 -

Usopp: Get on the ship?!  Are we leaving the island?!

Vivi: No, we're going up the river on the ship...  then into the desert!
	We only came to Nanohana to get crucial supplies!

Usopp: Hurry, hurry, the Marines are coming!!
	Get on and raise the anchor!!

Luffy: Man!
	I never thought I'd meet Ace here!

<<Ace: Well, we can't talk like THIS.  You guys run, I'll catch up to you.
	I need to stay here and stop these guys for you.

 - Page 71 -

<<Ace: GO!!!

<<Luffy: Let's go!!

<<Nami: Huh?!  Who is that?!

Usopp: Luffy!!  Get on, already!

Luffy: Okay.

Vivi: Wait, Karoo!
	I have an extremely important job that only you can do!

Karoo: Quack?!!

Vivi: Go north to Alubarna and give this letter to my father!
	This is Crocodile and Baroque Works' conspiracy.
	Igaram and I researched it all.
	Everything's spelled out plain and clear.

 - Page 72 -

Vivi: And tell him I'm alive and in Alabasta, with a group of strong-willed friends.
	Can you do that?  You have to cross the desert alone.

Karoo: QUACK!!

Vivi: Okay?  Conserve your water in the desert.

Karoo: Quack.

Vivi: Now, go tell my father!!
	That we can save this country!!

Karoo: QUACK!!!
	(gulp gulp gulp glug)

Vivi: CONSERVE YOUR WATER!!

 - Page 73 -

Sanji: YOU TOO!!!

Usopp: You idiot!!  Our precious water!!

Nami: BROTHER?!

Zoro: That guy back there...  was your brother?!

Luffy: Yup, he's my brother.

Zoro: Well, I'm not surprised you have a brother.  
	But why is he HERE in the Grand Line?

Luffy: He's a pirate.
	He's looking for the One Piece.
	Ace is 3 years older than me.  So he left the island 3 years earlier.

Sanji: What are the odds of the both of you eating Devil Fruit...?

Luffy: I know, I was surprised too!  Hahaha

Usopp: Huh?

 - Page 74 -

Luffy: He hadn't eaten one before.  Even then, I could never beat him in a fight.
	Ace is really strong!!

Nami: Not even once...?  Against a regular human?!

Usopp: The monster's brother must be one hell of a monster.

Luffy: YEAH, I ALWAYS GOT MY ASS KICKED!!
	DAHAHAHAHAHA!!
	But I could beat him now!

Zoro: That's a groundless statement.

Ace: Just who...
	Can you beat?

Luffy: Whoa!

 - Page 75 -

Luffy: ACE!!!

Ace: Yo.
	Hey everyone, thanks for taking care of my brother.

Usopp: No kidding.

Luffy: So why are you here, Ace?

Ace: Huh?  Didn't you get my message in Drum?

Luffy: Drum?

Ace: Ah, never mind.  No biggie.
	Anyways, I'm glad I saw you.
	I'm here for a silly little task.
	I figured I'd try to meet up with you.
	Luffy...  will you come join the "Whitebeard Pirate Crew"?
	With your friends, too, of course.

 - Page 76 -

Luffy: NO WAY.

Ace: Ahahaha...  just thought I'd ask.

Usopp: "Whitebeard"...  so the mark on your back is real?

Ace: Yes, it's my pride and joy...
	"Whitebeard" is the greatest pirate I've ever known.
	I want to make him the pirate king...  not you, Luffy...!!

Luffy: That's okay!  I'll just fight him!!

Sanji: Why don't you come inside if you want to talk?  I'll make some tea.

Ace: Oh no, don't worry about me.
	This'll only take a minute.

Luffy: Those Marines haven't come after us at all.

Ace: Yeah, I threw them off track with my "Mera Mera" power.

(Note: Meramera is a sound effect for flames.)

 - Page 77 -

Marines: Damn!!  A flaming net...!!
	Thanks to him, we totally lost sight of the Straw-Hat crew.  What should we do, Captain?!
	Someone killed Mr. 11 when we left him on the ship, too.

Smoker: Alabasta is a large place...  Let them get away and we'll never get them back.
	Portgas...!!  This is all HIS fault!!

Tashigi: Smoker-san!!  Sorry I'm late!!
	The Straw-Hat crew is...!!

Smoker: Tashigi, where the hell were you...?

Sergeant: Sir!!  On the other side of town, sir!!

Tashigi: S...  Sergeant!!

Smoker: What do you think...?
	There was a "Vivi" among the crew.

 - Page 78 -

Tashigi: "Vivi"...?!
	Princess Nefertari Vivi...?!!  Why would she be with them?!!

Smoker: That's what I'm thinking about.
	And also...  the one man in this country...  that I despise...
	You know I hate the "Seven Armed Seas", don't you?

Sergeant: Y...  you mean Sir Crocodile?

Tashigi: But speaking logically,
	He's an ally of the Marines and the government.

Smoker: He was once an extremely clever pirate...
	Not the type to take orders from any government.
	TASHIGI...  ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS...!!
	NO MATTER HOW FAR A "PIRATE" GOES...  HE IS STILL A "PIRATE"!!!

 - Page 79 -

Ace: Here.
	I wanted to give this to you.

Luffy: Huh?

Ace: Always keep that with you!

Luffy: It's a piece of paper.

Ace: Yup.  That paper will let us meet again.

Luffy: Wow...

Ace: Don't want it?

Luffy: No...  I do!!

 - Page 80 -

Ace: Having a dumb little brother...
	Makes an older brother worry.
	He probably gives you guys lots of trouble, too.
	Take care of him for me...

Luffy: What?!!  You're leaving already?!!

Ace: Yeah.

 - Page 81 -

Luffy: You can chill out here a little longer!!
	I haven't seen you in so long.

Ace: I told you, I only came to do that.
	I'm chasing a major criminal right now...  He's been calling himself "Blackbeard" lately.
	But he originally used to be a member of the Whitebeard Second Corps.
	My subordinate.
	He committed the worst possible crime on a pirate ship...  "crewmate-killing".
	I'm the commander, so I have to finish him off.
	If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be back here in THIS part of the sea.
	THE NEXT TIME WE MEET...
	WILL BE AT THE PIRATES' SUMMIT.

 - Page 82 -

Billions: THE "WHITEBEARD" SECOND CORPS COMMANDER IS HERE?!
	YEAH, IT'S TRUE, I SAW "FLAME FIST ACE" MYSELF!!
	If I kill him, I'll be an Agent for sure!!!
	Get on the ships and stop him at sea!!

Nami: No...  no way...!!
	How could someone that sensible be Luffy's brother?!

Vivi: Please, everyone...

Usopp: I was sure he would be as irresponsible as Luffy.

Chopper: Brotherhood is a wonderful thing.

Zoro: What a great guy, cares about his brother...!!

Sanji: I don't get it...  the sea's a mysterious place.

Luffy: SEE YOU LATER!!!

 - Page 83 -

Billions: LET'S GO!!!  WE GOT HIM OUTNUMBERED FIFTY TO ONE!!!
	FIVE SHIPS!!  GET PAST US IF YOU CAN, HAMMER BOY!!
	Wah!!  He jumped!!  Shoot him!!!
	We win if he falls in the water!!!
	Damn!

 - Page 84 -

Ace: "FLAME FIST"!!!!

 - Page 85 -

Billions: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Ace: Come on, Luffy...
	Come to the "top"!!!
