Nami: WHAT IS HE DOING?!!
	I DON'T BELIEVE THAT BOY!!!
	IT'S MORNING ALREADY!!!
	46 minutes past his deadline!!  What if we miss the current?!
	He probably got slowed down from carrying the gold back, right?!
	He never calculates for things like that!!

Usopp: Nah...  I doubt he was calculating any type of time to begin with.

Sanji: 100% true dat.

Chopper: Maybe he got beat up in town...

Nami: If he loses I'll kill him myself, even if he IS on time!

Zoro: What the hell is wrong with you?

Luffy: HEEEEEEYYY!!

Sanji: Ah.

 - Page 169 -

Masira: It's him...!!
	Good, he came back!!!

Luffy: I DID IT, GUYS!!

Usopp: Hurry up, Luffy!!!  It's past time to leave!!!

Luffy: Look at THIS!!!
	HERCULES!!!

All: WHAT WERE YOU DOING?!!!

 - Page 170 -

Luffy: WHOA!!  AWESOME!!!

Usopp: THE "GOING MERRY FLYING MODEL"!!!

Luffy: IT LOOKS...  FLYABLE!!!

Usopp: DOESN'T IT?!!

Nami: That just makes me feel worse...

Zoro: You're right.  A dove or something could fly better than a chicken...

Nami: I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT!!  IDIOT!!

 - Page 171 -

People: All right, let's get this ship moving, men!!
	Aye-aye, sir!!
	Whoahohhhhhh!!

Cricket: Get on the boat.  You don't have time.
	Don't waste your chance to go to the sky...!!!
	MORON.

Luffy: Thanks for the ship.

 - Page 172 -

Cricket: Thank them, if you must.

Luffy: Yeah!  Thanks, guys!!
	I'LL GIVE YOU MY HERCULES!!

Crews: REALLY, ARE YOU SURE?!!  GEEZ, YOU'RE SUCH A NICE GUY!!!

Masira: Anyways, hurry and get on your ship!!!
	You're not gonna make it!!!

Shoujou: We'll lead the way, you just follow!!!

Usopp: HURRY, LUFFY!!!

Luffy: Coming!!

 - Page 173 -

<<Bellamy: Haha haha!!
	The city of gold was a figment of Norland's imagination.

Cricket: ALLIED PRIMATE FORCES!!!

Crews: Whoahohhhh!!!
	Aye-aye, sir!!!

Cricket: YOU BETTER NOT SCREW THIS ONE UP!!!
	NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS-!!!  YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR ALL FOR THEM!!!

Luffy: Okay!!  Let's go!!

Nami: Let's get moving, everybody!!

Usopp: Yaaahooo!!

Sanji: Aye-aye, Nami-san!!

 - Page 174 -

Cricket: KID!!
	This is where we part ways!!
	BUT-
	Here's one thing you can count on...!!
	In the past, not ONE person has EVER proved
	that the city of gold and islands in the sky don't exist!!!

Luffy: Yeah!!

Cricket: People may laugh at you for such a silly reason,
	But who cares?!
	THAT IS TRUE
	"PASSION"!!!!

(Note: The original word used is "romance".  For some reason, the Japanese like to use the word romance in its much less common definition
	of a "passion" one feels for something, rather synonymous with the way they use "dream" all the time.  Just don't assume that 
	seeing the word "roman" in a manga always mean the kissy-kissy stuff.  I felt passion was a much more appropriate translation in 
	this case.)

 - Page 175 -

Luffy: "PASSION"!!!

Cricket: YES!!!
	Thanks...
	for the gold...!!
	You better not come fallin' outta the sky!!

Luffy: Heeheehee!!
	GOODBYE MISTER!!!

Nami: Thank you for everything, Cricket-san!!

Usopp: I know there's a city of gold, Pops!!!

Luffy: DON'T HURT YOURSELF, MISTER!!!

Cricket: MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!!!

Blackbeard: It's morning.

Auger: Well?  Can you see anything?

Blackbeard: Still can't see the shore.

Burgess: Ah zey really going to Sky Island?

Blackbeard: That's what he said.  It'd be a pain to chase after 'em.
	So we'll take them out before they leave.

 - Page 177 -

Shoujou: Okay, the time is 7 o'clock AM!!
	We will arrive at our destination around 11 o'clock.
	The location of the Knock Up Stream that Pops talked about
	is different every time it happens.
	So we need to get there before it happens and "search" for the exact location.
	And we're a little later than scheduled, so...
	Hey!!  Are you listening?!
	My explanation is very impor...

Southbird: Joh...

Luffy: Watch this, watch this.
	Look!!  He turned back again!!

 - Page 178 -

Usopp: Hahaha, that is one weird bird.

Luffy: He really can't turn any direction but south!!
	He's like a compass!  Bwahahahah!!

Southbird: JOHHH JOH JOH JOH JOH JOH JOHHHHH!!!

Usopp: What's he sayin'?

Chopper: "If I don't face south, you guys will be in trouble".

Luffy: Ahahaha, just try it!!
	Oh!

Usopp: He's lookin' north!!

Southbird: J...
	Joh...

Usopp: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Luffy: He can't relax unless he faces south.

Southbird: JOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Crew: HEY YOU GUYS!!!
	DON'T MAKE THE BIG BOSS MAD!!

Shoujou: There there there.
	Their cold shoulder treatment makes me all a pitter-patter...

Luffy: Why?  What's wrong?!

 - Page 179 -

Luffy: Heeeyyy, c'mon, no need to be in such a rush!
	Let's just chill!!

Sanji: Who was it that made us late, again?

Southbird: Johhhh!!

Masira: He's right, though.
	No sense in keepin' tense for all these hours.

Shoujou: Okay...  boys,
	I want you to slow down and relax...
	at full speed.

Crew: Oook...  ooook...

Luffy: Ahhhhh...  nice weather...

Crew: Whoa...  hohhhhh...

Zoro: Are you okay...?

Diver: Echo detected!!  Large sea current spotted at 12 o'clock!!
	Huge life form detected at 9 o'clock!!
	Probably a sea monster!!
	Waves going against the current at 10 o'clock!!!
	It could be a whirlpool!!!

Masira: THAT'S IT!!!  HEAD THE SHIP FOR 10 O'CLOCK!!!

	IT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!  BE CAREFUL!!!

Robin: Navigator!!

Nami: Yes?!!

Robin: What does the Log Pose say?

Nami: IT'S POINTING STRAIGHT AT THAT CLOUD!!!

 - Page 183 -

Nami: THE WIND'S POINTING EXACTLY THE SAME WAY!!  THE EMPERONIMBUS CLOUDS ARE HEADING RIGHT OVER THE CENTER OF THE WHIRLPOOL!!

Usopp: What do you mean, whirlpool?!!  Where is it?!!

Masira: It looks like we were right this time, brother.

Shoujou: Yes, and the scale of the blast will be optimum!!

Luffy: ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT?!!

Masira: YEAH, YOU ARE!!

Crew: What the-?!

Masira: WE'RE TAKING YOU TO THE CENTER OF THE WHIRLPOOL!!!

Nami: ...and then?!!  What should we do?!!

 - Pages 184 + 185 -

Masira: GO WITH THE FLOW!!!  YOU WANT TO GET AS CLOSE TO THE CENTER AS POSSIBLE!!!

Nami: OF THIS GIANT WHIRLPOOL?!!
	I never heard anything about being sucked in!!!

Chopper: {"Yahoooo!"}

Sanji: Don't worry!!!  I'll protect you, Nami-san and Robin-chan!!!!

Robin: This is the first time I've ever seen such a large whirlpool.

Usopp: FORGET IT!!!  I QUIT, GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!  LET ME GO HOME!!!

Zoro: Give it up, Usopp...  one of us is already gone as it is...

Luffy: LET'S GOOOOOO!!!  SKY ISLAAAAAAAAND!!!!
