One Piece Volume 18 : Introducing Ace Chapter 161 Erumalu, the Green Town - Page 107 - Jango's Dance Paradise Vol.27 "Shall we DANCE?" - Page 108 - [Baroque Works] [Officer Agents' Amphibious Transport Turtle] [Banchi] Miss All-Sunday: They should be heading here... to Rainbase, about now. Banchi: Oui. Oui. - Page 109 - Miss All-Sunday: I sent Banchi to go pick them up... They should be here in the morning. Mr. 2: I never thought YOU were Miss Doublefinger, Paula!! Miss Doublefinger: Hahaha... do you ever remember me saying I wasn't? - Page 110 - Crocodile: What about the message for the Billions in Nanohana? Miss All-Sunday: Waiting for the Unluckies to return will be too late. So I dispatched a substitution. The "Elimaki Runners"... [Baroque Works] [Emergency Message Delivery] [Elimaki Runners] Elimaki Runners: Eh Eh Eh Eh? Eh Eh Eh? Eh Crocodile: I see... Very good. - Page 111 - [Earlier, that same day...] Luffy: WE MADE IT!!! YUBA!!! Wait a minute. There's nothing here!! - Page 112 - Luffy: Let's look for the Leader!! Where is he?! Vivi: No, Luffy-san, this isn't Yuba yet. We still have to walk northwest through the desert for half a day. Usopp: Half a day?!! Vivi: Look at the map. We crossed the Sandora River and we just landed here at Erumalu, the "Green Town". Map: The Nanohana marker reads "Port Town". The Erumalu marker reads "Current Location". And the Yuba Oasis marker reads "Yuba", but since it already says that on the map, you might as well ignore it. Luffy: Green town? But there's nothing green around here!! Vivi: No, not anymore...! - Page 113 - Usopp: Whoa, what the hell is that, a turtle?! Creature: Kuo! Usopp: A seal?! Vivi: A Kung Fu Dugong!! Usopp: Kung Fu? Vivi: No, Usopp-san, get away from it!! They're strong. Usopp: Owww!!! Zoro: You lost. Nami: We have a winner over here... Dugong: Kuo... Vivi: Don't beat them, either!! It's Kung Fu Dugong law that the loser of a fight becomes the winner's student. Dugong: Kuo. Zoro: They're martial artists, then. - Page 114 - Dugongs: KUO!! Luffy: No, the stance goes like this!! Vivi: HOW DID YOU GET SO MANY?!! Dugong: Kuooo. Luffy: Now, let's go to Yuba!! Sanji: You wasted almost all of our food!! Nami: If Chopper hadn't talked them out of it, we'd be in major trouble!! Chopper: Yeah, they kept saying, "We'll go with you"... I had to give them our food to keep them away. Luffy: Why don't we take them along? Nami: We can't get into any towns with that many trailing along!! You idiot! Sanji: The dugongs in this country are pretty weird, Vivi-chan. They live in the river? Vivi: No, the ocean. - Page 115 - Vivi: Ever since ancient times, The Sandora River has sustained this country. But lately, the river has lost the force it once had. And now it's being pushed back by the sea, downstream. Sanji: Then the water those dugongs live in is... Vivi: Salt water. Can't use it on fields or drink it. Zoro: Is that why this village dried up? Vivi: No. They collected water on the rare occasions when it rained, and the town survived off of that, most of the time. Up until recently, this town was a lively place, full of green plants. Zoro: THIS place...? - Page 116 - Vivi: However... In the past three years, not a SINGLE DROP of rain has fallen in the entire country... Chopper: Is that port town going to be okay? Vivi: Nanohana gets its water supply from the oasis at Katorea, so they're safe. Even in Alabasta, no rainfall has never been something to worry about, for thousands of years... But there was always one place that got more rain than anywhere else. The capital, "Alubarna". The city built around the king's palace. People called it the "king's miracle". At least, they did up until THAT day... - Page 117 - [2 years ago...] [Port Town Nanohana] <
