One Piece Volume 27 : Overture Chapter 252 Junction - Page 107 - Wapol's Omnivorous Banzai Vol.15 "My 'Wapol Toy Shop' is Opened" Sign: GRAND OPENING for me - Page 108 - Nami: WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!! THANK YOU, GOD! Ahhh... the Sky Island we arrived at after such a long journey... turns out to be a city of gold... This must be a reward for righteous little me, isn't it, God? Zoro: Hey... I thought you were afraid of this island's God... Nami: God?! ...ohh... pssh, whatever!! Is GOD worth more than MONEY?! Robin: ...but you just said "Thank you, God"... Zoro: Don't mind her, she never makes any sense anyways... - Page 109 - Fuza: KUKAKAKAKAKAKAKA!!! Shura: ...hahaha... nice try... Birds/Voices?: (gyaaa!)(gyaaa!) - Page 110 - Luffy: What is this place? Sanji: It's gotta be the next "trial" area. Another priest is gonna come. Be on guard!! Usopp: Shucks... just one trial is enough for me, dammit!! Is it "String"?! "Steel"?! "Swamp"?!! Luffy: Looks like just an empty field to me. Usopp: IT'S NOT "JUST" A FIELD, LOOK CLOSER!! All those poles have skulls on top!! Luffy: Oh, they do. Sanji: Huh? - Page 111 - Luffy: Huh?!! Something's coming!!! Usopp: THERE IT IIIIIS!!!! - Page 112 - Luffy: You punk!! GOMU GOMU...!!! - Page 113 - Wiper: "Paramecia"...!! Devil Fruit Powers, then!!! (Note: The kanji for "paramecia" means "superhuman". I don't see the connection...) Luffy: BALLOOOON!!! Warrior: Wiper!!! Should we stop and fight?! Wiper: ...no...!! Don't mind them!! Sanji: Hey Luffy, that's the masked guerilla we saw down on the White Sea!! Luffy: HEY, WHADDAYA THINK YER DOIN'?!! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME HURTIN'?!! Usopp: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! - Page 114 - Wiper: So you're the ones... Those Blue Sea Folk causing an uproar in Skypiea. If you value your life, return to the Blue Sea. If you get any strange ideas about doing anything else to this island... WE'LL DESTROY YOU ALONG WITH ENER. Luffy: WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU ASS?!! BRING IT ON!!! Usopp: CUT IT OUT!!! DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!! Sanji: The guerillas and God aren't... on the same side? - Page 115 - Wiper: ...so get yourselves off this island as soon as you can. ASSUMING you can. Luffy: Who are those guys...?!! Sanji: ...what we know is... they're enemies of God Ener... And enemies to us as well. Usopp: Awww damn, what's WRONG with this place...?! Sanji: ...let's keep moving forward... - Page 116 - - Page 117 - - Page 118 - Guys: Wooohoohoo!! Way to go, doin' fine!! Go go go, Little Crow!! This Milky Road is pretty fun. Yeah, we've covered a lot of ground by now. I guess that field didn't turn out to be anything after all... You think we're just gonna go straight to the Altar without anymore problems? ...the sun's setting already... Can't see it through the clouds, though... I guess even Sky Island has a sunset... - Page 119 - - Page 120 - Nami: CHOPPER?!! WHERE ARE YOU??! WHAT HAPPENED, CHOPPER?!! Zoro: The Merry's mast is gone...!! What the hell kind of repairs was he doing? Nami: HE WOULDN'T DO THAT, IT WAS OBVIOUSLY AN ENEMY ATTACK!!! ...Chopper?!! Sorry we're late!! You're out there somewhere, right?!! Please answer!!! Chopper!!! Robin: ...maybe he was cut into ribbons of flesh. Nami: WHY DO YOU IMAGINE SCARY STUFF LIKE THAT?!! Zoro: HEY, CHOPPER!!! ARE YOU THERE?!! WHAT HAPPENED?!! Chopper: ...n... - Page 121 - Chopper: NOTHING SCAWY HAPPENED AD ALL. Nami: (whew) ...okay, okay, we know you're a tough guy. Now tell us everything. Luffy: HUH?!! SEE, LOOK!! THE GOING MERRY!!! SO THAT'S THE ALTAR!! Zoro: Oh. Nami: Ah. Sanji: AAAAAAH!! NAMI-SAAAN, ROBIN-CHAAAN, I PASSED THE "ORDEAL OF LOVE" JUST FOR YOU-HOO-HOO!! Luffy: So that was it for the ordeals...? Usopp: Hey, guys!! Were you scared?! Never fear, for Captain Usopp has arrived to protect you all!! Nami: Well, at least they seem to be all right... that's a relief. - Page 122 - Usopp: The mast is... gone...!!! Chopper: Uh... Um, Usopp, I t... tried my best to stop him. but I wasn't strong enough... a bunch of stuff got burned up... Usopp: What about you? Are YOU okay? Chopper: Huh?! Y... yeah. Usopp: Wow, a guy with a burning spear. Sounds scary...!! Well, it's a good thing YOU didn't get burned up instead!! Dahahaha!! We'll think about what to do with the ship later. Chopper: Oh...!! I am going to be much more reliable in the future!! Luffy: Hey, Chopper!! Where's the "Weird Guy"?! He's hurt, isn't he?! Chopper: Oh, right!! The Sky Knight!!! - Page 123 - Luffy: So he came and fought for us like that... just because of one whistle...?! Chopper: If the Sky Knight hadn't come, me and the ship would be destroyed. Sanji: There's a lot of stuff we need to ask him... but we can wait until he wakes up on his own... Oh, and thanks to you too. Pierre: Pieee. Sanji: Well, it's gettin' late, and the ship's in no state to sail, so I guess we'll have to wait for tomorrow to return to Angel Island. Now why don't we head towards the forest and set up a camp by the lake shore? It'll probably be easier to fight down there, if that should happen. Luffy: WOOHOOO!! YESSSS!!! CAMPING!!! A PARTYYYYYY!!! Usopp: Huh?! Wait a minute, this is enemy territory!! You can't... - Page 124 - Usopp: Okay... thank you for the reports, everyone!! Now, we have learned several things from these pieces of information. But the obvious star of the show for today is this-!! THIS ISLAND IS THE CITY OF GOLD THE ALLIED PRIMATE FORCES WERE SEARCHING FOR!! Luffy: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! Nami: I just told you that!! Zoro: So what is this Mantra thing? Sanji: I dunno, they just read your movements ahead of time. Chopper, does this need to be any finer? Chopper: Yeah. Easy enough for him to swallow. His digestion system is a little damaged. - Page 125 - Luffy: Gold!! I've been WAITING for an adventure like this!! Nami: That's right. NOW you're talking!! Usopp: W-w-wait, Luffy!! Did you already forget that warning the guerillas gave us earlier?! Chopper: What if God gets mad?! Robin: Haha... it sounds fun to me...! Sanji: Well... a pirate's life is his treasure. So we can't sit back and let this one get away. Zoro: And enough enemies to make it interesting...!! It's gonna turn into a battle for survival. Luffy: ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT!!! WE'RE GOIN' ON A GOLD HUNT!!!! - Page 126 - SBS Corner D: Hello. I am a huge Nami fan. So I have a question! About that bracelet that Nami wears even in the bath scene (Vol. 23)!! It seems to be very precious to her, so I looked back through all my books and saw that Nami got when she was leaving Kokoyashi Village. And to my surprise, it was Nojiko who wore it before then!! Did Nojiko give that to Nami when she left?! Surely there must be some tearful sisterly love between them... (sob sob)? So, tell us the truth!! by Bon-chan O: Yes. That's the bracelet. On the morning of their farewell (Vol. 11), it was gone from Nojiko's wrist. On her shoulder are the marks of their makeshift parents, Bellemere's oranges and Gen's pinwheel. And on her left wrist is the bracelet her sister wore. Even though they are unrelated by blood, Nami is with her family even across the great blue deep. D: I really like the coloring corners. Oda-sensei, please put in more of the main 7 crew members! (A lot more!) By 10th grade Micchi O: Oh! You like coloring? Yeah, coloring is fun. There haven't been many coloring corners lately. Okay, I'll add one. Have fun on page 166. A warning to you colorers, there are certain parts that are already filled with black. That's simply because of the way the color art process works. I'm sorry. Please send me all requests for what you'd like to color. See you in next volume's SBS. - Chapter 252 Owari -
