Men: PLEASE WAIT!!!
	CHAKA-SAMA!!!

Crocodile: Who is that?

Chaka: It's you...!!!

Vivi: The Tsumegeri Squad!!!

(Note: Tsumegeri means, (I believe) claw-kick.  That's what Rika has too, so I'll go with it.  Incidentally, it also sounds like 
	claw-diarrhea.)

Cobra: STOP IT, YOU FOOLS!!!
	DON'T ATTACK HIM!!!

Soldiers: THEY BROKE OPEN THE GATES!!!  THE TSUMEGERI SQUAD!!
	Our elite warriors...!!!

Tsumegeri: Your majesty...!!  It is the duty of we four to protect you...
	We cannot watch this without attacking him.

Tsumegeri: Against one of the Seven Armed Seas,
	there can be no cowardice.
	WE FOUR
	shall have
	our revenge.

Crocodile: You seem to be quite popular...  so...  I'll let you live.
	GO BACK TO YOUR SHANTIES.

Tsumegeri: We cannot.
	There is a reason why we cannot turn back now!!

Crocodile: Reason...?

Tsumegeri: If you are the true cause of all this unrest...
	Whew...

Chaka: YOUR ARMS...!!!
	DON'T TELL ME YOU...?!!

Miss All-Sunday: Shall I?

Crocodile: Don't bother.

Tsumegeri: YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Cobra: Oh no...

Vivi: Chaka!
	Something's wrong with them...!!!

Chaka: THEY...  DRANK THE WATER THAT REDUCES LIFE...  FOR "MOMENTARY STRENGTH"...
	THE "WATER OF POWER"...  IT'S TOO LATE TO SAVE THEM...  THEY WILL DIE WITHIN MINUTES!!!

Vivi: NO...!!!

Crocodile: Hahaha...  that's what I figured...
	You abandon your lives to fight me...!!!

Tsumegeri: CHAKA-SAMA...  FORGIVE OUR ACTIONS...  BUT WE MUST SHOW HIM
	THIS NATION'S "PAIN"...

Chaka: FOOLS...!!!

Tsumegeri: WE MUST SHOW HIM...  THIS NATION'S...

Crocodile: Sigh.
	Not smart, boys...
	Life is precious...!  Oops, too late...
	KUHAHAHAHAHA!!
	IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DIE ON YOUR OWN...

SBS Corner

D: When I bought some gyudon for this weird guy with glasses laying out in the street, he gave me a weird wheel and a "how to hypnotize"
	paper.  And so, since you've been having trouble starting the SBS lately, I'm going to hypnotize you so that you can do it just
	right this time.  Okay, now, watch this wheel verrrry carefully.  When I say one, two, Janko you will start the SBS no matter 
	what.  Here we go!  One, two, Jankooooooooo!
	"RAAAAAAAAAAH!!  START THE SBS!!"
O: YOU GOT HYPNOTIZED!!

D: Oda-sensei!!  I-!!  Lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-!!  LOVE One Piece!  I go to the store every day!!  And say, "Is it here yet?"!!  ...AND!!
	Therefore!!  Would you!!  Mind!!  Telling me!!  The release!!  Date for!!  The next voluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuume?!!!!?!
	by Shironeko Pirate Crew
O: Huh?!  But it's such a pain.  Oh, fine.  For the tankobon people, I'll tell you the rule for which months are release months so you can
	mark it on your calendars.  One Piece volumes come out in a repeating order that goes, "2 months", "2 months", "3 months".  So if
	you say, "There haven't been any for 3 months!" can you tell when the next two will come out?!  Good.

O-II: Oh yeah, I forgot.  I noticed two mistakes of my own in Volume 21.  So I'll correct them for you now.  First of all, the answer to
	the Culprit Quiz right before Chapter 190.  I forget to include the answer.  It's "Crocus-san".  The other one is the title art 
	for the SBS.  I drew Crocus and Laboon for Volume 18, but then I drew them again.  I was just under a spell of Crocus Fever in 
	Volume 21.  Reflecting?  Oh yes, I am, don't worry. (<- picking his nose)
	Okay, continue the SBS.
