Zoro: Damn...!! This place isn't any different from Erumalu...!! Luffy: WHERE'S THE WATER?!! Sanji: Wasn't this supposed to be an oasis, Vivi-chan...?! - Page 151 - Vivi: The sand has raised the ground level... The oasis is being swallowed up...!!! Man: Travelers, eh...? You must be tired from your trip through the desert. I'm afraid this town's a little dried up... - Page 152 - [Yuba Villager] [Toto] Toto: But you can still take some rest...

The sandstorms have come more and more frequently!!! The sand has been steadily eating away at the oasis, and now, it is as you see it today. Without circulation of goods, the Rebellion cannot continue their war of endurance... They have moved their base of operations to "Katorea"... Luffy: Where's that, VIVI? Is it close?!!

I guess not. I've lost some weight. Vivi: Mr. Toto...?! Toto: That's right... Vivi: NO...!!! Luffy: Mr. Toto? Toto: LISTEN TO ME... VIVI-CHAN!! I BELIEVE... IN THE KING...!!! HE WOULD NEVER BETRAY OUR COUNTRY...!!! ISN'T THAT RIGHT?!! - Page 156 - Toto: THIS REBELLION IS ABSURD...!!! PLEASE... I BEG OF YOU!!! STOP THOSE FOOLS!!!! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO IT!!!

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE IT?! - Page 157 - Cobra: But weather is the work of God... My powers as a king cannot affect that...!! Kohza: BUT MY DAD SAID THE KING CAN DO ANYTHING!!! Cobra: All that I can do is human in nature... Guard: Your majesty!! This boy's father has come to the palace!! [The Boy's Father] [Toto (Man from Yuba)] Toto: YOUR HIGHNESS!!

HOW WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND THE VILLAGERS' FEELINGS?!! Toto: HEY!!! KOHZA!!!! WAIT!!! - Page 159 - Cobra: Toto... Toto: Sir. Cobra: He is a good boy... he said "the villagers' feelings"...

Igaram: I hate to say this, but... Our budget isn't enough to support them... Cobra: Just take anything they need out of our living expenses, you fool!! Sfx: King Chop!! Igaram: Ouch! As you wish. - Page 160 - Guards: YOUR MAJESTY!!! IT'S VIVI-SAMA!!! Vivi: I got in a fight. But I lost... Cobra: VIVI!! Igaram: VIVI-SAMA!!! I'LL TEAR THAT LITTLE SHITHEAD LIMB FROM LIMB!!! Cobra: Wait!! Wait, Igaram!!! Toto: PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASE FORGIVE ME!!! I WILL KILL MYSELF IN APOLOGY!!!! - Page 161 - Cobra: SETTLE DOWN, DAMMIT!!! Sfx: KING CHOP!! Igaram: Oww...!! Cobra: It's just a kid's fight, you dunderheads...!! [Capital] [Alubarna] Kids: It's a battle!!! [Outskirts of Town] - Page 162 - Guys: Don't hold back cuz she's the princess, Kohza! Beat that stupid princess up!! Girls: Goooo, Vivi-chan!! Guys: Hey, our Leader is Kohza!! Vivi: If I win, then I'll become your Leader!! Kohza: I'm not losing to you, shrimpy!! I've always been the Leader in my hometown. - Page 163 - Kohza: Listen up, guys!! From now on, Vivi's the sub-Leader of the "Suna Suna Clan"!!! (Note: "Suna" is sand, but I still think it sounds better than "Sand Sand Clan".) Kohza: Any objections?!! Clan: NOOO!!! Cobra: Look, Igaram... Vivi has made friends... Igaram: Yes. Cobra: The most valuable thing she can have... To lead Alabasta in the future...!! Clan: Hey, the king. It's the king. And Guard Captain Igaram, too. - Page 164 - Vivi: Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Toto!! Where's Leader?! Toto: You mean Kohza...? He already left. The usual spot, right? Toto's Wife: What about lunch, Vivi-chan? Vivi: Oh, thank you!! Toto: What a strange country this is... Where the princess can mingle with the common folk like this. Toto's Wife: It's proof of peace... Toto: Igaram-san, you want something to eat? Igaram: W-wha-?! No, I brought my own onigiri!! Pardon me!! Toto: Your Majesty!! You, too?!! Igaram: Gah!! You were following, too?! Cobra: But I'm worried about Vivi-chan! - Page 165 - Igaram: Go back!! My responsibility has doubled, now!! Cobra: WHAT?! Igaram: I'm serious!! Thugs: Hey, baby... On a walk...? Should we escort you? Kohza: GET 'EM, "SUNA SUNA CLAN"!!! Thugs: Damn!! They aren't dead yet?! Vivi: Leader!! Guys!! Kohza: RUN, VIVI!!! THEY'RE TRYING TO GET YOU!!! - Page 166 - SBS Corner D: HEY, ODACCHI. WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT, JUST HOW LITTLE SENSE OF DIRECTION DOES ZORO HAVE? I want an equation with x and y, dammit!! by Zoro Inochi O: Ummm... lesseee... x... plus... y. Okay, next. (Perfect) D: My husband and I are huge fans of the "Hiking Bear". But we're curious about something. What happens if one forgets the "salute" (mountain-climbing manners)? We're so curious, we can't have any children! O: Yes, that would be a serious problem... What I'm going to tell you is extremely important, so PLEASE remember it. Hiking Bears are bears that love mountains. They simply cannot allow people with bad manners onto the mountain. The punishment is this: sitting in correct Japanese style for one hour. It's very difficult. The people who suffer this have severely cramped legs, and they all say the same thing. "Please kill me, now." But the bears will not allow it. But that's what they get for insult the beloved mountain... (From the "Drum Kingdom Animal Encyclopedia) D: Good evening. This is a question for Oda-sensei. "Möwe" (Seagull) on Morgan's chin, and "Krieg" (battle). German seems to show up a lot in One Piece. But do actual pirates have much to do with Germany? O: Hmmm, probably not... In this case, I just chose words that "sounded" right to me. For the Krieg arc, "battle" was actually the main theme, so I chose a word about battle that would be easy to remember. D: HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hey!! You!! Oda!! Can you beat my gorilla? THE SBS IS OVER. O: HEY!! What the hell?!! Okay... fine then, see you next volume. What? Gorilla? Nah, I couldn't beat a gorilla. They are the mightiest of primates, after all. Oh, but they like bananas... maybe I could... set up a trap... and make him slip on the peel... - Chapter 163 Owari -
