Zoro: And what did you say at first, again? - Page 191 - Nami: WHAT'S PAST IS PAST!! DON'T BRING UP OLD ARGUMENTS!! DON'T MAKE ME POUND YOU!!! Usopp: Why's Nami being so violent? She wasn't even hurt. Luffy: I dunno. Chopper: Oh, did you find out anything about "Sky Island"? Nami: SKY ISLAND?!! I don't care about that thing anymore. Stupid Sky Island. Just saying the name made all the people laugh at me... WHAT DID I SAY THAT WAS SO DAMN FUNNY?!! WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?!! Usopp: "Killer Move Ketchup Star"!!! Chopper: "GUARD POINT"!!! - Page 192 - Robin: What's with all the fighting? Sanji: Aaah! Welcome back, Robin-chan!! Will you eat? Will you take a bath?! Luffy: Robin went somewhere? Robin: Yes, to get clothes... And information to "Sky Island", of course. Nami: THAT'S IT, ROBIN!! IT WAS YOU!!! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STARTED US ON THIS WHOLE "SKY ISLAND" THING!!! IF IT DOESN'T EXIST, I'M TOSSING YOU OVERBOARD!!! Chopper: "Jumping Point"!!! Usopp: Uh... be careful around her for now. ...actually, just stay away from her entirely. Luffy: OOH!! A TREASURE MAP!! Usopp: That's a regular old map. What is it? Robin: This island. - Page 193 - Robin: The picture of the town on the left is where we are right now, "Mocktown". And the other side... do you see the X on the east shore? Apparently an OUTCAST of Jaya is living there. Both: Outcast? Robin: His name is "Monbran Cricket" He was chased out of town for talking about dreams. Sound familiar to you? - Page 194 - [Jaya, Mouth Bay] Crew: Big Boss, the underwater standby is all OK. The mike is all OK. Captain: OKAY!! HERE GOES THE "SEARCH SONAR"!!! (WHOA HOHHHH) - Page 195 - Diver: "UTAN DIVERS", NO. 27!! Echoes detected!! School of fish spotted at 9 o'clock!!

SEARCH HALTED!! RETURN TO THE SHIP, "UTAN DIVERS"!!! Crew: Whoa hohhh!! Luffy: It doesn't take long to find these weirdos. But I don't think it's HIM, Usopp. Usopp: Okay. But I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. - Page 197 - Usopp: But we saw him!! Right?! Chopper: Yeah!! The salvage guy. So he IS from this island. We saw them come back. Luffy: Hmmmm, I really don't care if we see him again or not. (Note: The ship's sail, "Morinohito", means "people of the forest".) Captain: HEY HEY, YOU THERE, YOU THERE!! WHAT ARE YOU JIBBER-JABBERIN' ABOUT OVER THERE?!! Crew: WHOA HOHHHHH!! - Page 198 - Captain: Hmph...!! I was all a-wonderin' who you could be... My heart was a pitter-patter. [Big Boss of the Shoujou Pirate Crew] [King of Ocean Floor Searches, Shoujou] [Bounty: 36 Million Berries] (Note: First of all, no that does not mean 'little girl', you're thinking of "shoujo". Shoujou means "orangutan". The joke with him (at least to me) is his saying "hara hara", which means pitter-pattering or really excited. But hara also means "stomach", and he sure does have a lot of hara.) - Page 199 - Luffy: You have a really crazy face. What are you? Shoujou: I'm a human, you dolt. Crew: WHOA HOHHH!! YOU GUYS!!! DON'T GET OUR BIG BOSS MAD!!! Shoujou: There there there. You look like pirates. Have you heard? Crocodile, one of the Seven Armed Seas, has been crushed. I may have a chance to grab his position, with all the power I have. And my heart is a pitter-patter as I wait. Luffy: Ohhh... so you wanna be in the Seven Armed Seas. Shoujou: WHAT?! I see, you're asking, what's so great about me? The fact that I have not cut my hair in the 25 years since I was born. Well, are you shocked? - Page 200 - Luffy: What a dork. Shoujou: OH! WHAT A SHOCK!!! Crew: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO THE BIG BOSS- Shoujou: There there there. Your answer has got me all a pitter-patter. LISTEN. WHEN YOU PASS THE TUNNEL OF DARKNESS THAT IS MY ANGER, THERE IS A SEA OF BLOOD. Luffy: Yeah whatever, we need to go somewhere, so move it!! Shoujou: SIMPLETON!!! THIS OCEAN IS MY TERRITORY!!! IF YOU WANT TO PASS, YOU MUST PAY A TOLL!!! - Page 201 - Usopp: Hey, that "territory" business is the same word Masira used. Luffy: Did he say that? Shoujou: What?!! Masira?! What about Masira?! Luffy: Huh? Oh, we kicked him way overboard. But- Shoujou: KEH... KIC...!!! ...CK!!! MY BROTHER!!! Luffy: Huh? Crew: Big Boss! Luffy: No, wait a minute. We kicked him, but he's still ali- Shoujou: VENGEANCE FOR MASIRA!!! SOUND WAVE!!! "HAVOC SONAR"!!! - Page 202 - Luffy: The ship... Crew: UWAAAAAHH!!! Gyaaaaah!! Big Boss!!

Stop staring and let's get going!! Sanji: YES, MADAM! Luffy: Cool, Nami's not mean anymore. Usopp: Well yeah, after THAT much catharsis... W... wait. DAMN!!! The reverberations are spreading to our ship!!! - Page 203 - Crew: The patched-up sections are coming off first!!! Damn, the ship's already busted enough as it is!! We're gonna split apart!!

So then that BABE was all, "Tell me where this Cricket man lives." Hahaha, that's one tough woman!! Tough doesn't even begin to explain it!!! All these "hands" just sprouted up out of nowhere, and knocked everyone in the bar to the ground. It wasn't funny! GYAHAHAHAHA!! What does SHE want with that old Cricket fart? That area's the territory of those "monkey brothers". And if she hangs around that guy... Uhaha!! She'll catch his disease, know what I mean?! PAHAHAHAHA!! She don't want that to happen! - Page 205 - Guys: You know she's after his gold nuggets. Nuggets? Yeah, I guess he just found some. Wonder where. Bellamy: Hey, you. Guys: UH?!!
