One Piece Volume 27 : Overture Chapter 254 Aubade - Page 146 - Chapter 254 - Aubade (Note: An aubade is a morning song, as opposed to a nocturne, which is an evening song. I believe this word is French.) - Page 147 - - Page 148 - - Page 149 - Zoro: "Go together", hah... How old is he? Can't even go by himself... - Page 150 - Usopp: {What's that sound...? There shouldn't be anyone with the boat... The mist is a bit to thick to see through...} - Page 151 - Sfx: *niko* (smiling "noise") Usopp: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH... Zoro: What the hell is he doing? Goes off to take a piss... And now he's lying here sleeping... Funny guy... - Page 152 - Priests: WE ARE... N-N N-N-NNN!! Hey... N-N-N... N-N-N-N!!! Hey!! Kinda hard to tell what you're saying when you're biting your lip like that. (D'OH!!) I told you, the reason Ener's calling us is because you let Wiper get away!! [Upperyard, Shrine of God] Disciples: God. The priests have arrived. Ener: Open the gates. - Page 153 - Large Man: ...not again. HEY!! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING THERE?!! Worthless peabrains... Shura: SHUT UP!!! - Page 154 - Shura: Well first of all, it's their fault that I can't use my full power!! If I was the sole "watchman" of this island, the results would be so much better. [Skypiean Priest] ["Skybreeder Ohm"] Ohm: You talk a lotta trash. Want me to show you how much your superpowers can ACTUALLY do? With the path to sorrow, the "Ordeal of Steel"!!! (Note: Catchy little rhyme there.) - Page 155 - [Skypiean Priest] ["Sky Guardian Gedatsu"] Gedatsu: Ridiculous... Your ordeals are absolutely inadequate...!!! Take the Ordeal of "Swamp" to see the power of the greatest of them all! Priest: Gedatsu-sama! Your arms will soon tire in that position!! To fold your arms you must tuck your hands inside the elbows!! Gedatsu: (D'OH!!) - Page 156 - [Skypiean Head Holy Warrior] [Yama] (Note: Yama could mean "mountain".) Yama: ENOUGH OF THIS!!! YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD!!! Shura: Presence? Where is God? I don't see him. Ener: WIDE OPEN!!! - Page 157 - Ener: YAHA!! Priests: GWAH!! OOF!! Ener: YAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! - Pages 158 + 159 - Ener: I AM GOD. (Note: There is actually a hidden Japanese joke in this, which I will explain in good time...) [The One Skypiean Deity] ["God Ener"] Ener: And I'm right here... You men are weak. You need more training. I'm sure you don't want to end up in disgrace, as Satori did. Gedatsu: What are you doing?!! Shura: Sheesh... You and your jokes... Did you call us here just to say that? Ener: Yahahaha, I was bored. Come here and sit down. You haven't been paying much attention to the Blue Sea Folk that are here... They're after the gold. Priest: THE GOLD?!! How do they know about that...?!! Ener: This island was once on the Blue Sea. It's no surprise that the people down there would know about it. - Pages 160 + 161 - Ener: They will be on the move again tomorrow, of course. And Shandia will attack once more... You may set up your "ordeals" wherever and however you like. Go ahead and ignore all the rules, go nuts. Gedatsu: Why are you allowing us to do this...? Ener: Actually... we're almost done with the "Maxim"... We'll settle the score with this island, AND GO ON A JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF DREAMS. - Page 162 - Usopp: LOOK!!! SOMEONE WAS HERE, JUST LIKE I SAID!!! I SAW IT!! I KNEW IT WASN'T A DREAM!!! Crew: The Going Merry... has been repaired...!! Nami: You're right... the mast was broken, but now it's back on. Sanji: I hate to say it, but it looks like a shit job. Luffy: Wow, what a nice guy that was. Usopp: And I thought... it was a ghost... Zoro: ...but who fixes a boat in a place like this? Everybody else in Upperyard is supposed to be an enemy of ours... - Page 163 - Luffy: But it's not the Flying Model anymore, Usopp. Usopp: Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. How did the person who fixed it... know the Merry's old shape? That there was no chicken crest or wings... Nami: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SLACKING OFF OVER THERE?! THE "ESCAPE TEAM" HAS TO CLEAN UP YESTERDAY'S MESS! THE "SEARCH TEAM" HAS TO PREPARE FOR ADVENTURE! Luffy: Aye-aye!! I'll divide up the rations!! Sanji: Luffy... I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that. Crew: Besides, we have to lower the ship. That's right, get some ropes! Usopp: How did they know? How, Merry...? Who was it...? - Page 164 - Nami: Okay. Look at the map! The Search Team will go directly south, this way. There should be some kind of ruins in the "right eye" here. Beware of enemies and bring back the gold!! Label: Current Location Usopp: You make it sound so simple. Luffy: What, all this gold talk and you're not even coming? Nami: Of course not. It's scary. Chopper: {Ah!! She wants the gold and stuff but she won't risk the danger!!! She's like, a pervert or something!!} Nami: While that happens we'll be getting the Merry off the island, so it's not like we're safe, either. We'll get around to the coast near the island as quickly as possible. And then we'll meet there, and proceed to escape from Sky Island! Then we will become the "Super Rich Pirate Crew" and I'll buy everything I could possibly want!! - Page 165 - Crew: YAHOOO!!! Look. It's sunny today. Because we're on top of the clouds. Okay... we'll meet safe and sound at the eastern shore!!! YEAH!! Luffy: LET'S GET MOVING!!! Crew: RIGHT!!! - Page 166 - Coloring Corner - Chapter 254 Owari -
