<<Vivi: You don't know who the ringleader is?

<<Igaram: Correct.
	They are a so-called underground organization...  not even the members know anything about the boss...

<<Vivi: ...and they are...
	Enemies of our country...!!!

<<Igaram: If the members know nothing about him,
	searching for information from the outside will be entirely impossible.
	...plus,
	further scrutiny would only endanger the country...

<<Vivi: But you've caught...
	their TAIL, haven't you...?

<<Igaram: Yes...

 - Page 211 -

<<Igaram: Huh?
	{Blast...  I said too much!}

<<Vivi: Igaram...  are you thinking...  what I'm thinking?

<<Igaram: N...!!!
	No!!  I don't know!  I do not know, now excuse me as I must be getting back to work-

<<Vivi: IGARAM!!!

<<Igaram: NO, YOU MUST NOT!!!  ABSOLUTELY NOT!  THIS IS NOT A GAME, YOU KNOW?!

<<Vivi: That's exactly it, Igaram!!!
	I CAN'T SIT BACK AND ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!!!

 - Page 212 -

People: Look!!  It's Vivi-sama!!!

 - Page 213 -

Marines: What are you doing?!  It's only ONE ship!!!
	But Second Lieutenant [Shoui]...!!!  They're too strong!!!
	And cannonballs don't work against them!!!

Luffy: GET OUTTA THE WAY!!!

People: IT'S VIVI-SAMA!!!
	PRINCESS!!
	Oh, how she's grown!!

 - Page 214 -

<<Igaram: Very well, Vivi-sama...  at least let me ask you one question.

Vivi: {That's the day it all started.}

<<Igaram: Are you prepared...
	not to die?

Vivi: I've had a little
	adventure.

 - Page 215 -

People: Hey!!  The princess' speech is starting!!!
	Finally!
	How wonderful, she really is alive and safe!!
	The ceremony in Alubarna has started!!
	It's 2 hours late.  What happened?

Cobra: Well now...
	I hope this doesn't turn into a riot...

Toto: KOHZA!!  HEY, KOHZA!!
	C'mon, Vivi-chan's speech is starting!!

Kohza: Those loudspeakers are ridiculously powerful.  I can hear it just fine inside.

Vivi: It was a journey in search of "despair", crossing dark seas...
	The ocean I saw away from home was enormous...
	There are many islands out there, so powerful it is hard to believe.

 - Page 216 -

Vivi: I saw animals I've never seen before...  sights I'd never imagined in my dreams.
	The music of the waves
	was sometimes quiet,
	flowing calmly to wrap up little troubles,
	sometimes loud,
	laughter that tore weak feelings to shreds.
	...and in that black, black storm, I met a small little boat.
	...the boat got behind me and pushed me onwards, saying
	"Can't you see the light?"

 - Page 217 -

Vivi: That mysterious little ship that could not lose its way in the darkness
	rode the waves as if dancing over them.
	It never disobeyed the sea, yet the bow kept pointing forward...  even through headwinds.
	...and it pointed a finger.
	"Look, there is the light."
	...history will probably call this an illusion, however.
	It is truth to me.

People: What's she talkin' about?
	The secret battle with Marines.

Vivi: And then...

[Eastern Port, Tamarisque]

Zoro: You can hear the speech, right?
	That's Vivi's voice.

Chopper: Vivi...

Sanji: It's the broadcast of the ceremony in Alubarna.
	So it's settled; she ain't comin'!!

Luffy: That only SOUNDED like Vivi's voice...!!

Nami: Let's go.
	It's past noon...

Luffy: SHE HAS TO BE THERE!!!
	LET'S GET OFF THE SHIP AND LOOK!!!  I KNOW SHE'S THERE!!!

Usopp: Hey!!  The Marines are coming after us again!!

Zoro: Damn, how many boats do they HAVE?
	LET'S GET GOING!!!
	RUDDER FORWARD!!!

Sanji: Forget about it, Luffy...
	This is a totally different situation she's in.

[Alubarna]

People: What the hell is going on?!!
	Show us your face, you phony princess!!!
	NO, CAPTAIN IGARAM!!!
	Where's the REAL Vivi-sama?!!
	Where is the princess giving her speech from?!!

Igaram: Actually...  Vivi-sama is...

Vivi: EVERYONE!!!

 - Page 220 -

Luffy: VIVI?!!!
	KAROO!!!

Karoo: QUAAACK!!!

Luffy: SEE, SHE CAME!!!

Nami: Vivi.

Usopp: TURN THE SHIP AROUND, HURRY!!!

Sanji: Vivi-chan!

Zoro: The Marines are almost here!!!

 - Page 221 -

Vivi: I'm here!!!
	To say goodbye!!!

Luffy: What did she just...?!

Vivi: Give me the receiver, Karoo.

Karoo: Quack.

Vivi: I...  I CANNOT GO WITH YOU!!!

Man: What the?!  Is she talking with someone...?

Vivi: THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Marine: ...impossible...  is that the princess of this nation...?!  She should be at her ceremony in Alubarna.

Vivi: I WANT TO GO ADVENTURING WITH YOU SOME MORE,
	BUT I CAN'T!!  BECAUSE...

 - Page 222 -

Vivi: I LOVE MY COUNTRY!!!!

Soldier: Captain...!!

Crowd: Where is Vivi-sama?!
	Get outta here, Captain Igaram!!

 - Page 223 -

Crowd: Way to go, Captain!!
	We came here to see VIVI-SAMA'S face!!!
	HAHAHAHAHA!!

Vivi: ...THAT'S WHY I CAN'T COME ALONG!!!

Luffy: I get it!

Vivi: I...

<<Crew: The symbol should be an X!!
	Why?
	We're pirates.
	But that means "death" to whoever sees it.

 - Page 224 -

<<Luffy: Yeah, we should do an X.
	Right, Vivi?!  It's cool, huh!!

<<Vivi: Yes, I like that.

<<Zoro: Who cares?  Just draw 'em.  That's not the point.

<<Luffy: Here we go...!!

Vivi: ...I
	WILL STAY HERE...!!!
	BUT IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN-!!!
	WILL YOU CALL ME A FRIEND ONCE MORE?!!!

 - Page 225 -

Marines: Did you hear that?!!  Does the princess have some connection to the "Straw-Hat Crew"?!!
	A princess, friends with pirates...?!!  Impossible...!!

Luffy: ANYTIB-...!!!

Nami: No, you dummy!!
	Don't respond!!
	The Marines have noticed Vivi.
	If they can prove Vivi has a connection with us, she'll become a "criminal".
	{...let's just make this a silent farewell.}

Karoo: Quack...

<<Luffy: Whatever happens from now on, this left arm

 - Page 227 -

<<Luffy: Is proof of friendship.

Luffy: SET SAIIIIL!!!!
