THAT STUPID ORANGUTAN!!! He busted up the ship even more!!! Zoro: You wake up, and this thing is falling apart... Time to get a new one? Usopp: YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!! Luffy: Hey, don't complain about it, Usopp! The Going Merry is our good companion. Let's try hard! And fix it up!! Usopp: Luffy...!! You're such a pal... Luffy: Oops. Usopp: YOU LITTLE ASSHOLE!!!! - Page 9 - [Jaya, Eastern Shore] Caption: Mocktown Nami: We're here at the place on the map. Usopp: So... who is it again? Robin: Monbran Cricket. Nami: So the "Man Who Speaks of Dreams" lives here? Usopp: H... Luffy: HOLY CRAP!!! - Page 10 - Luffy: Is that his house?!! Usopp: This guy must be fabulously wealthy!!! Zoro: Look closer, you idiots. Sanji: A dreaming man... More like a PRETENTIOUS man. Chopper: What do you mean?? - Page 11 - Luffy: AAH!!! IT'S JUST A BOARD?!! Usopp: WHAAAAAAT?!! Zoro: So the actual house is only HALF that... the rest is plywood. Sanji: Sounds like a cheapskate... Nami: What kind of dreams was he talking about that got him kicked out of town? Robin: I don't know the details... But apparently, he said that here on Jaya sleeps a great mound of gold. - Page 12 - Usopp: GOLD?!! Nami: YOU MEAN LIKE SOME PIRATE'S BURIED TREASURE?!! Robin: Well... maybe. Nami: Dig, Chopper!! We'll find gold! Chopper: Really?! I just have to dig?! Sanji: Livin' alone around here, eh... Luffy: HELLOOO!! ANYBODY HOME?! Usopp: WAIT, NOT YET!!! Luffy: Huh? No one's here... HELLOOOOOOOO!!! Usopp: Stop, Luffy! What if he's dangerous?!! - Page 13 - Luffy: Hey, he's out right now, guys!! Nami: A picture book... It's pretty old, too. "Norland the LIAR". Ahaha. Usopp: Oooh, that's a cool title. Good subject!! Sanji: "Norland the Liar"?! That takes me back. I read that a lot as a kid. Nami: You know this, Sanji-kun? But it says this was published in North Blue. Sanji: Yeah, I was born in North Blue. I never told you? Usopp: First I've heard. I thought you were from "East". Nami: Be quiet, Chopper! What are you doing? Sanji: That's where I grew up. This is a pretty famous story in "North". They say it's a fairy tale, but I've also heard that this Norland guy actually existed, a long time ago. - Page 14 - [A story of long, long ago.] Nami: Wow... [A story over 400 years ago...] [In a certain country in the northern seas,] [there was a man named Monbran Norland.] [Norland the Explorer's stories were always grand adventures that sounded like lies.] [But the people of the village could never tell if they were true or not.] - Page 15 - [One time, Norland went on an expedition,] [and came back to report to the king.] ["I saw a mountain of gold on an island across the great seas."] [To see for himself, the brave king took 2,000 warriors] [and crossed the great seas in his ship.] [He fought powerful storms and huge sea monsters.] - Page 16 - [Finally, the king, Norland, and 100 soldiers landed on the island.] [But what they found there was nothing but jungle.] [Norland was sentenced to death for his lies.] [These were his last words.] ["That's it! The mountain of gold sunk into the ocean!!!" The king and the others were shocked.] [Nobody believed Norland anymore, but he never stopped lying until he was dead.] (Northern folk tale, "Norland the Liar") - Page 17 - [Jaya, Mocktown] Bellamy: HAHA HAHA!! HAHA HA!! "Monbran Cricket" is the descendant of "Monbran Norland"?! I heard that story all the time as a kid. Everybody in North Blue knows it. Sarquiss: Well, we're all from North Blue, so we should know. They always told us, if you lie like Norland you'll get put to death!! Bellamy: HAHA HAHA...!! ...this is gettin' more interesting by the minute...!!! Sarquiss: I can't believe Jaya was the place where the story happened!! - Page 18 - Ross: And the descendant of "Norland the Liar" Mani: Has come here in search of gold after 400 years...!! Eddie: To clear up the name of his lying ancestors?!! Bellamy: HA... AHAHAHA!! HAHA HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! WHAT A HILARIOUS LINEAGE!!! HAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHA!!! So he thinks if he brings home one little fleck of gold His 400-year old ancestor is going to be vindicated?! Haha hahaha, what a simple world he lives in!!! - Page 19 - Nami: And the pitiful liar died... without ever becoming... A valiant warrior... of the seas... Usopp: DON'T LOOK AT ME!!! AND DON'T ADD EXTRA STUFF IN!! Luffy: GYAAAAAA!! Nami: Huh?! Luffy fell in the water!! Usopp: HEY!!! What are you doing?!! Man: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ALL?!! - Page 20 - ["Allied Primate Forces" Pirates] [Last Boss] [Monbran Cricket] Cricket: You got a lotta guts, barging into a man's house like that. Sanji: Usopp, go get Luffy!! Cricket: This stretch of sea is MY territory. YOU WANT THE "GOLD", DON'T YOU? THEN DIE. (Note: You may be wondering, what's up with the "maroon"? Well, the blob on his head is a chestnut/acorn thing, called "kuri" in Japanese. The word "kuri-iro", literally "chestnut-color", is also (though very seldomly) called "maroon". So there you have it.) - Page 21 - Sanji: WHOA!!! URG- - Page 22 - Sanji: HNN?!! UWAAH!!! - Page 23 - Chopper: SANJIIII!!! AAAAAAAAH!!! Nami: SANJI-KUN!!! Sanji: Don't worry, he didn't hit me!! ...BUT WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!!! Zoro: That's what he gets for taking him on, the idiot... Huh? - Page 24 - Usopp: Just what the hell were you doing...?! Luffy: Th... there were bubbles... cough!! Bubbles coming up. Kehaf! So I looked in the water and I saw a chestnut...!! But it was actually that guy... and he pulled me in the water... Usopp: Huh? Cricket: Hah... AAh...!!! Sanji: Hey... hey, guy?! Chopper: Cool off some more towels. Open all the windows! Zoro: Decompression sickness? Luffy: You mean he's sick? Chopper: Yes, it's an ailment that divers occasionally contract. Although technically it's not a chronic thing. - Page 25 - Chopper: The decompression during the ascent from the ocean floor to the surface causes the chemicals in the body to bubble, not forming a soluble state. Those bubbles strain the blood vessels and surrounding areas, causing damage to bloodflow, muscles and joints... Luffy: ...yeah, mystery effects. Chopper: He must have been diving recklessly every single day for years, not giving time to let those bubbles disappear. Nami: But why...?! Chopper: I don't know... but it's dangerous. Depending on the circumstances, Decompression sickness can lead to death. - Page 26 - SBS Corner D: Boys and girls across the nation, come together!! Let's see, who's gonna do the title call today? Aha, how about you? Eiichirou-kun!! Huh? What? You want everyone to say it? Okay!! Good idea!! Now everybody, follow along and say it with me!! Ready, set, START THE SBS!! (now everyone got to do it equally) O: SPLRAAAAAH!! AAAAAAH!! AAAAAAAAH!! Bit my tongue. That was my big chance! D: Hello, Oda-sensei! Here's a sudden question. In page 28 of book 18, is that an EARRING I see on that sea cat's left ear? What's up with that? Please tell me. by Miss White Day O: Ummm. That is "ear hair". So everyone, try saying this three times fast. "Migimimi Migime Migime Migimimi" (Right Ear, Right Eye, Right Eye, Right Ear). It's very hard. D: Hello! Odacchi!! Do you think that February 6th would be a good day for Nico Robin's birthday? O: Ah, yes, I like the sound of that. (Note: (NI)co (RO)bin... "ni" is two, "roku" is six.) - Chapter 227 Owari -
