One Piece Volume 24 : A Man's Dream Chapter 219 Masira, the Salvaging King - Page 47 - Hatchan's Ocean Floor Stroll Vol.33 "The Catfish Village is Saved, Now the Last Batch Goes to my Marriage Proposal" - Page 48 - Nami: "SKY ISLAND" What the heck is that?!! Luffy: IS IT A FLOATING ISLAND?!! Usopp: And the ship and skeletons fell from there?! Zoro: But there's nothing that looks like an island up there... Robin: That's not it... it's more like a floating "SEA". Nami: SEA?!! Sanji: That makes even less sense... Others: WHOAAAAAAA!!! - Page 49 - Luffy: So there's an island in a sea, floating in the sky?!! All right, let's go!!! OKAY, MEN!!! POINT THE RUDDER UP!!! Usopp: RUDDER STRAIGHT UP!!! Luffy: ...pp...!!! Urp. Sanji: You can't point the rudder up, Captain. Robin: Actually, I've never seen a "sky island". And I don't know much about them... Nami: Of course!! It's impossible!! Islands and seas in the sky?! The Log Pose is broken, that's all!! Robin: No, Miss Navigator... What you must think of now is not how to fix a broken Log Pose, but how to get to the sky. - Page 50 - Zoro: What are they doing now...? Chopper: Searching, they said... Robin: No matter what circumstances this ship is thrust into... No matter what panic may befall us... It is an ironclad rule that you must not doubt the Log Pose. What you MUST doubt on THIS sea, is the "common sense" in your mind. WHERE THAT NEEDLE POINTS, THERE IS AN ISLAND. - Page 51 - Chopper: Why's she opening up that coffin? Zoro: You find out anything? Robin: Not yet... Nami: You are into some freaky stuff. Sanji: Seein' a dead body and a hot woman together is kinda kinky. Someone: Hey, it's all pieced back together...!! Robin: This hole right here was artificially created. Sanji: ...okay, so he got a hole punched through his skull and died. Robin: No, that's from surgery... "trepanation". Right, Doctor? - Page 52 - Chopper: ...yes. They used to open holes in the skull to cure brain injuries years ago. But that was ages ago...!! Robin: ...yes, HE died at least 200 years ago. He was in his early 30's. He died of an illness during a voyage, and the fact that his teeth remain so well compared to the other bones... Means they were covered with tar. That custom is a special feature of a certain area of "South Blue". Based on historical retrospect, we can assume the ship was one of explorers. ...here we go, a ship from the South Blue Briss Kingdom, "St. Briss" set sail 208 years ago. Nami: It's the same as the ship that fell!! Sanji: Yeah, that's the symbol that was on it. Robin: The ship was sailing around in the sky for 200 years... Nami: And you can tell all that just by looking at bones...?! Robin: Dead men hold more tales than they can tell. - Page 53 - Robin: If it's an exploring ship, there should be lots of information on it... Nami: Yes... but the ship is sinking... Usopp: Luffy!! Hang on! Luffy: BWA-GURGLE, HEWP MBLEEEE!! Nami: WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE?!! Luffy: Hey, everybody!!! I DID IT!! CHECK OUT WHAT I FOUND!! LOOK AT THIS!!! - Page 54 - Nami: A MAP OF... A "SKY ISLAND"?!! "Skypiea"... Luffy: SEE?!! SEE?!! Nami: Does this mean there really is an island in the sky?!! - Page 55 - Luffy: ALL RIGHT, USOPP!!! CHOPPER!!! THERE'S A "SKY ISLAND"!!! AN ISLAND OF DREAMS!!! WE CAN GO TO THE ISLAND OF DREAMS!!! Chopper: Island of dreams?!! Nami: ...quit shouting. This is nothing more than a "possibility". There are hundreds of false maps out there in the world! Oh... sorry! I'm sure it exists... really... I swear. I'M SAYING I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THERE!!! Usopp: Ah... Nami, treat the ship with a little respect. Luffy: YOU'RE THE NAVIGATOR, DO SOMETHING!!! Nami: Luffy, there are things you just CANNOT do in the world!! Luffy: WHO CARES?!! I'M GOIN' TO THE SKY!!! Sanji: Nami-san is cute when she's mad...! - Page 56 - Nami: ...we have no choice! We can't continue any further like this...!! The needle is pointing "up". Like Robin said, what we need is info!! If that huge ship made it up into the sky, then there must be a way for us to do it, too!!! We must get some kind of diary or records from inside that ship!! Usopp: But it's totally sunk, now. Nami: IF IT'S SUNK, THEN WE SALVAGE!!! Luffy + Usopp: OKAY!!! Zoro: YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! Chopper: What is "salvage"? Robin: A method of dragging up sunken ships... but that one's too big for us to do it. Luffy: Hahahaha, let me tell you... - Page 57 - Luffy: This is totally insane. Sanji: Nami-san, I swear I'll bring back some clues to go to the sky! Nami: Thanks. Usopp: Don't be nervous, guys. My work is flawless. Nami: Okay, we'll be... praying for your luck. - Page 58 - All: {...whoa, whoa, whoa...} Chopper: This is Chopper, please reply. Luffy: Luffy here. There are lots of monsters, over. Zoro: Is this a giant sea-snake nest?! Sanji: This is Sanji-WHOA!! It's coming over here!! Nami: OK. Usopp: YOU CALL THAT OK?!! Nami: It'll work out, stop whining!! Chopper, hold that brake fast! Chopper: Okay. Usopp: Thank God I didn't have to go. Song: (Saalvaaage salvaaage) - Page 59 - Song: Saalvaaage salvaaage! Saalvaaage salvaaage! Usopp: What is that...? Cymbals: (crash crash crash) Whistle: (pee-pee-pee-pee-pee-FWEEEET!) Voice: ALL FORCES... HALT!!! Whistle: (FWEEEEEEEEEE!) - Page 60 - Crew: AYE-AYE, SIR!!! Voice: IS THIS THE PLACE WHERE THE SHIP SUNK?!! Crew: AYE-AYE, SIR!! BOSS!!! (Note: The kanji for boss means "kindergarten principal". Ouch!) Voice: BOSS?! WHY, THAT WOULD BE REFERRING TO ME!!! - Page 61 - [Boss of the Masira Pirate Crew] ["Masira, Salvaging King"] [Current Bounty: 23 Million Berries] Masira: PREPARE TO HOIST!!! THAT SHIP IS MINE!!!!! OOK OOK OOO!!! Crew: OOK OOK OOOK!!! - Page 62 - Nami: Why do the weirdos come out at times like these...? Masira: Hey, what are you guys doing over there? This is my territory. Nami: Territory? Masira: That's right. All ships that sink in this territory are mine. You better not be messin' with my shit...!! HMMM?!! Robin: He seems to be going to salvage the ship... Usopp: Yeah... that's what he's saying. Nami: So... what? Is this our chance? Masira: QUIT YER' BABBLIN' OVER THERE!!! ANSWER MY OOKIN' QUESTION!!! - Page 63 - Nami: Excuse me, can I ask you a question? Masira: WAIT A MINUTE, I ASKED YOU FIRST!!! Okay, ask away. Nami: How do you scrape up those ships from the bottom of the sea? Masira: scr-APE?! Hey... am I that much of a "prime ape" to you? Nami: Prime ape? Masira: It means "alpha male"!!! Don't you think? Nami: Yes. Usopp: Even though that's not a real word. Masira: GEE, THANKS! Usopp: So are you gonna salvage it? Masira: Well of course I will! If there's a ship sunk there, I'm the man to raise it!! It floats, it sinks, and I pull it up!!! THERE AIN'T NO SHIP MY CREW CAN'T SALVAGE!!! - Page 64 - Nami: Then... can we watch you?! Masira: Huh? ...Oh! You don't see many salvages, do you? Fine, go ahead and watch all you like!! Nami: {Okay! Let's see what they do.} Crew: Oh no, boss!! Masira: What? Crew: The crew that went underwater to attach the "cradle"- Masira: Got attacked by sea monsters? Crew: No, they seem to have been PUNCHED BY SOMEONE...!! Nami: It was them...!! Usopp: Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Masira: Whaat...?! You mean someone else is down there...?!! THEN...!!! HEY, YOU!!!!! Usopp: EEP!!! Nami: ...oh... uh...!! Masira: SOMEONE'S DOWN THERE ON THE OCEAN FLOOR!! BE CAREFUL!!! Nami: Uh... Both: {Thank God he's an idiot...} Sure. - Page 65 - Masira: HOOK UP THE CRADLE AGAIN AND LET'S GET SALVAGING!!! Crew: AYE-AYE, SIR!!! - Page 66 - SBS Corner O: Game corner!! Thanks, P.N. #015-chan from Hokkaido! Now! Let's go!! Answer on page 126. (Note: The instructions are simple, just fill the blanks with the words, although you'll find it impossible unless you know your katakana. Also, remember that little "tsu" and the little (ya, yu, yo) in syllables like "sha" or "kyo" should be at full size, since they might not be used the same way by the intersecting words. Arrange all the characters in the squared boxes to get a special answer.) - Chapter 219 Owari -
