Crocodile: A FITTING WAY FOR YOU TO DIE...
	In another 6 minutes, this square,

Clock: tick...tick...tick...

Crocodile: And the garden with it, will explode...
	So relax.
	And celebrate...
	The birth of the sand country's new king...

 - Page 129 -

Crocodile: Sorry.
	I'm busy...
	...I suppose I should get going, then.
	It was the funeral area to the west of here, she said.

<<Crocodile: YOU MISSED.

*SPLASH*
*GLUG...*

[WEST OF THE PALACE - Funeral Area (Royal Crypt)]

Miss All-Sunday: Hidden stairs...!!

Cobra: The Poneglyph is deep down inside.
	Most do not even know it EXISTS...

Miss All-Sunday: The underworld is large.  You can't expect the king of one of the world governments
	to know everything.

Cobra: Can you...  read the Poneglyph...?!

Miss All-Sunday: Yes...  that's why Crocodile is working with me.
	That's why he can't kill me...

 - Page 133 -

Miss All-Sunday: This is no fault of yours.
	I'm sure you never thought there could be anyone in the world who could read the words.
	I believe this country's "Poneglyph" may have the location of "Pluton" enscribed on it.
	Am I wrong?

Cobra: I do not know...
	The Alabastan royal family has continued to protect it for generations out of tradition.
	That is all it means to us.

Miss All-Sunday: PROTECT...?!
	Don't make me laugh!!

 - Page 134 -

Miss All-Sunday: An extravagant place.

Cobra: It's beyond the inner doors.

Miss All-Sunday: You're right...

Usopp: KUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
	KUHHHAHAHAHA, LITTLE ONE!!

Zoro: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!!

Usopp: Kuha!!
	I'm trying to put myself in Crocodile's state of mind!!
	Like, if I was him, where would I shoot from?

Zoro: SHUT UP AND START LOOKING!!!
	WE'VE ONLY GOT 5 MINUTES!!

 - Page 136 -

Nami: Chopper!!  Can't you find anything with your nose?!

Chopper: No, the entire city reeks of gunpowder.

Nami: Okay then...  try this!!  Try to find the smell of a "CANNON AIMING AT THE CENTER OF THE SQUARE"!!!

Chopper: WHAT DOES THAT SMELL LIKE?!

Nami: How should I know?  Just try!!

Chopper: Okay.

Sanji: Haah
	haah!!!
	A cannon ball with a 5 km blast diameter...!!!
	Wait!!  That has to be pretty big, then...
	To shoot that out of a cannon...  means the distance can't be too long...!!
	Is it closer to the square, then...?!!

 - Page 137 -

Sanji: GAH!!!  NO TIME TO RUN AROUND!!!
	I NEED SHORTCUTS!!!

Vivi: HOW DOES IT LOOK UP THERE, PELL?!!

Pell: I checked every single rooftop near the square, but...!!
	There were no cannons that I could see...!!!

Vivi: Then is it coming from inside a building...?!

Pell: I'LL CHECK ALL OF THEM!!!

Vivi: Okay!!

Tashigi: Straw-hat...!!!

Luffy: WHERE DID
	THE CROC GO?

Clock: tick...tick...tick...

<<Miss All-Sunday: How many times must you face me until you're satisfied...?!

<<Tashigi: AAAHHH!!!

 - Page 140 -

<<Crocodile: Kuhahahaha...
	It looks like SHE got to you...
	I'm surprised you Marines came chasing this far...
	What happened to your boss?  Did that smokey fool run off?
	The LOSING SIDE cannot speak of justice...!!!
	That's what kind of sea this is...!!!  Go back to your headquarters and DISCUSS your justice some more...!!!
	Kuhahahahaha...

Luffy: TELL ME!!!

 - Page 141 -

Tashigi: Towards the funeral grounds...!!

Luffy: That way?
	Thanks!

Tashigi: {What "justice"...?!!
	What...
	"Marine Headquarters"...?!!}

 - Page 142 -

Luffy: Haah...  haah...!!!
	Haah...!!!
	UGH!
	(BONK) OWW!

 - Page 143 -

Luffy: Huh...?
	I can't move...
	That's weird...  I ate all that meat...!!!
	Haah...
	Haah...
	I couldn't be TIRED from just...
	these wounds...
	could I...?

Cobra: Did you find...  what you were looking for?

Crocodile: Aha...  hidden staircase...

SBS Corner

D: I found him!!  "Pah"!!  "Ih"!!  "I"!!  "Fah"!!  "Ruh"!!  "Ah"!!  "Hah"!!  "Weh"!!  "Duh"!! ....ugh...
	(Translation) Pandaman!!  It's Pandaman!!  I found Pandaman running away!!  (First panel on page 60, volume 20) Also, I have a 
	question.  W, where does Pandaman live??  Does Pandaman like traveling??
O: That last one sounded really strained.  Are you okay?  So, Pandaman's residence.  I've only heard the rumors.  Some say he's a pretty
	big-shot kinda guy.  On a certain island, that is. There's a reason why he's chased around, which is why he appears running in a 
	lot of different places...  I can't tell you too much, or they'll come to get me too...  AAAH!!  IT'S THEM!!  (runs)

D: Hello, Oda-sensei.  I have a question.  When Chopper eats the Rumble Ball, he can use seven different forms.  Yet, he has more than 
	seven.  Why is that?
O: That's incorrect.  Look, there ARE seven.  No more.

"Beast Form"		"Human/Beast"		   "Human Form"
(Walk)  (Horn)  (Guard)  (Brain)  (Jumping)  (Arm)  (Heavy)

	There are seven up there.  His normal "beast mode" is Walk Point.  His "half human mode" is Brain Point.  And his "human mode" is
	Heavy Point.  So you see, the Rumble Ball is a pill that basically adds four new forms for him to use.  Does it make more sense 
	now?
