One Piece Volume 33 : Davy Back Fight!! Chapter 308 The Grand Interference Plan - Page 47 - Chapter 308 - The Grand Interference Plan - Page 48 - Tubifex: The race is heating up now!! We've come to the "Long Coral Reef" that cuts across the raceway!! In the lead is Porche-chan's Cutie Wagon!! Following frantically is the Straw Hat Pirates' Barrel Tiger!! Porche: Oh no...!! We can't have the race slow down now! GO, Monda!! Monda: Shaaa!! Robin: What is that? The coral reef is sticking high out of the water... Nami: ...look! It's causing some really strange water currents...!! We shouldn't just charge in...!! - Page 49 - Tubifex: And look at this!! We can't forget who's on the sideline looking for a chance to interfere, Foxy: Fweh fweh fweh. Tubifex: Our boss, "Foxy the Silver Fox"!! Foxy: We gotta make sure they can't avoid my impediments!! Head 'em off, Hamburg!! Hamburg: Yeah, Boss!! Tubifex: Just what does he have up his sleeve?! Pirates: Get 'em, Boss!! Tubifex: This is the fun of the Donuts Race!! Pirates: Yahooo! It's only a matter of time!! Luffy: Huh? Are they interfering again? Cook: Don't worry about that, my boy! Eat up!! - Page 50 - Cook: Look, Inari-zushi and Kitsune-udon!! FOR FREE!! (Note: Inari-zushi is sushi covered in deep fried tofu. Kitsune-udon is udon noodles with fried tofu in it. Luffy: Really?! Thanks! Mwohoho! Woman: I wish WE had a hot cook like you! Sanji: Hmmm, maybe I should get Davy Backed, hehehe! Pirate: Would you like a candied apple? Shake. Chopper: What?! What's that?! Is it sweet? Pirates: Hey, we need more ale over here!! This guy can really hold his liquor!! You're in the second round right? Make sure you don't drink TOO much! Zoro: Thanks, guys. Tubifex: Oh?! What's this?! The Barrel Tiger is starting to slow down!! Usopp: Hey, Nami. C'mon, row. Tubifex: The Cutie Wagon is using this opportunity to pull further ahead!! DIRECTLY INTO THE LONG CORAL REEF!! - Page 51 - Porche: GO, MONDA!! Monda: Shaa!! Porche: ...wait, Oh no!! What's going on?! Monda?!! Usopp: Ah... They came back!! Porche: Oh nooo!! Tubifex: The Cutie Wagon reverses direction?! What could this be?! Porche: One more time, Monda!! What are you doing?! Monda: Shaaa!!! Usopp: They came back again. Porche: Oh nooo!! Nami: I knew there was something funny about those currents. Okay, pick up the pace!! - Page 52 - Tubifex: Oddly enough, the Cutie Wagon is being pushed back each time it enters the reef!! Porche: Once more, Monda!! Monda: Shaa!! Tubifex: The Barrel Tiger makes its move!! Both boats head INTO THE LONG CORAL REEF!! Robin: Ah!! Usopp: Uwaah!! What the?! Tubifex: Uh oh...! Foxy: Fweh fweh fweh!! Tubifex: Aha!! There it is!! His specialty, - Page 53 - Tubifex: That terrible interference!!! Usopp: It's smoke!! Aah!! Tubifex: The Barrel Tiger is enveloped by smoke!! They're in too much danger to push forward!! Foxy: FWEHHH FWEH FWEH FWEH!!! The "Great White-out Plan" was a success!! Let's see you get through that labyrinth of coral while you're blinded!! Fweh fweh fweh fweh!!! Hamburg: Pffpff!! Pffpffpffpff... success. Tubifex: What an evil plan!! What an evil man!! Foxy: WHAA?!! Tubifex: They passed right through without a pause!! How could this be?! Hamburg: Pffff!! Pffpffpff. - Page 54 - Tubifex: Look!!! The Barrel Tiger passes right through the coral reef!! And the Cutie Wagon is still being pushed back!! Porche: OH NOOO!! Usopp: We passed right through!! How did that happen?! Nami: This is a "labyrinth of currents"!! Robin: Currents? Nami: Because of the whirlpool up ahead, there are lots of odd little current whorls inside the reef! If you can find the right entrance, they'll carry the boat right through. So we didn't have to worry about visibility in the first place!! Usopp: Gahahaha!! Yeah, that's our navigator for you!! Foxy: CURSES!!! - Page 55 - Tubifex: But their exultation is cut short!! After the reef is the "Long Ring" whirlpool!!! Usopp: What the hell?!! It's even elongated at the bottom!! Gyaaaaaa!!! Nami: Stop shouting, Usopp... Now use your "Impact." Otherwise we'll be sucked down. Usopp: ...no wonder you were so relaxed. You counted on this from the very start... GYAAAAA!!! Tubifex: The Barrel Tiger accelerates again!!! - Page 56 - Tubifex: It's not just accelerating... it's flying!!! It's shooting right over "Long Cape"!!! And... They've landed!! The Barrel Tiger pulls off an incredible... Usopp: Waah!! Tubifex: TURNAROUND!!! They're now FAR in the lead!!! Will the invincible Cutie Wagon finally know defeat?!! - Page 57 - Kapoty: We may have underestimated them a bit, Porche-chan!! Hang on tight!! Porche: Do it!! Kapoty: UNITE!! "TWO FISH ENGINE"!!! Tubifex: Uh-oh, they haven't lost yet!! With fishman muscle and shark fins, the engine power is doubled!!! They're crushing the coral and blazing through the waves!!! We're well into the race, now! The Barrel Tiger is rowing frantically!! Nami: Get up, Usopp!! Usopp: ...where am I? Robin: Your arms are pointed in odd directions. Usopp: GYAAAAAaaaa! - Page 58 - Nami: Course directions!! Sign: Donuts Race, go right Robin: "Go right." Nami: Okay then, head to the right! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'LL FALL FOR THAT?!! Tubifex: Oh my goodness!!! The Boss's specialty "Super Fake Signpost Plan" was crushed!! She's a tough one!!! Will this woman believe in ANYTHING?! Nami: SHUT UP UP THERE!!! Tubifex: Oh, and she's foul-mouthed, too!! The race continues, with the Barrel Tiger still in front!! Usopp: Aaah, look out!! Nami: What's with these pillars of water?! Tubifex: They pass through the high-soaring Long Breaking Waves! - Page 59 - Tubifex: And here's the Boss's third tricky attack!! Hamburg: Gramma Bos...!!! I mean Gramma! Foxy: Ohh... I don't have much time left. Could you folks in the boat help me out? Tubifex: TOTALLY IGNORED!!! Nami the navigator, a woman without blood or tears!!! Nami: Shut up already!! Nobody would fall for that!!! Tubifex: And she's foul-mouthed!! Usopp: LOOK!!! THE GOAL!!! Tubifex: Just a bit further to victory!! The Cutie Wagon is catching up!! Porche: Wait, you!!! Tubifex: Donuts Race, the first round!! WHO WILL BE THE WINNER?!! - Page 60 - Nami: I SAID, KNOCK IT OFF!!! (come on!!) HONESTLY!!! Tubifex: Oh no!! The "Super Fake Goal Plan" failed as well!! She's tough!! TOO tough!! Nami: Be careful, the REAL goal should be coming up soon. Usopp: I can't do another "Impact." Nami: I know that. Tubifex: I'd like to ask her a question!! What does it mean... to have a "trusting heart"? Nami: WHO CARES?!!! Tubifex: How twisted!! And here's another tragedy!! Porche-chan's team has stopped at the fake goal line! Porche: What happened to the race?! Kapoty: Hey, where is everybody?! Tubifex: Her innocence is blinding!! But Porche-chan, please notice your mistake!! - Page 61 - Nami: They're ALL idiots!! I swear, if we lose to this crew, I'll KILL myself out of shame! Usopp: Especially since they'll manage to take one of our members!! Tubifex: The race is 2/3 over, with the Barrel Tiger IN THE LEAD!!! Porche: Oh crap!! This is a fake goal!! Kapoty: WHAT?! Who would do such a wicked thing?!! Tubifex: Up next is the "Long Bamboo Thicket Cape"!! After that, it's straight to the goal!! Put on a spurt! Nami: He's right, I can see the goal!! Usopp: But they're catching up behind us!! Nami: We can't match them for speed. Porche: WAIT, YOU!! Nami: That's it, Usopp!! Can you knock over one of those bamboo stalks?! Usopp: Bamboo?! - Page 62 - Usopp: Like this?! Nami: Harder!! Porche: Faster Kapoty, Monda!! I'll take care of sinking them!!! Kapoty: Right!! Monda: Shaa!! Porche: Huh?!! Oh nooooo!!! Kapoty: Gyaaaaaa!! Nami: YES!! Bingo!! Porche: OH NO!! Kapoty!! That does it!! THEY'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!! "Cutie Baton"!! - Page 63 - Usopp: What is that?! Magic flowers?! Porche: "FLOWER SHURIKENS"!!! Usopp: UWAAH!! Look out!!! Aaah, there's a hole in the boat!! Robin: Don't worry, it'll hold!! Nami: Look, the goal's right ahead of us!!! We can pull away!!! - Page 64 - Tubifex: The first round of Davy Back Fight, "Donuts Race"!!! Pirates: Porche-chaaan!! Tubifex: Is heading into the final straightaway!! Foxy: Get up beside them!! At this rate, we're gonna lose!! Hamburg: Yes, Boss!! Porche: Monda!! Hang in there!! Don't let them beat us!!! Monda: Shaaa!!! Tubifex: WHO WILL BE THE VICTOR?!! Luffy: Nami's team is winning!!! YAHOOO!!! Sanji: NNNAMI-SAAAAN! ROBIN-CHAAAAN! You're beautiful even when you're speeding!! - Page 65 - Foxy: Hey!! You!! You've caused me a lotta trouble!! Nami: Him again. Pirate: Too bad for you guys. Luffy: Why?! We're winning!! Pirate: Gyahaha, for now... but watch! Here comes the Boss!! Just like you, our Boss... has "Devil Fruit" powers. Foxy: "NORO NORO" "BEAM"!!! (Note: Noro Noro = slow, slowpoke.) - Page 66 - SBS Corner D: I have a question. If Wapol ate Luffy and Nami and Sanji and Zoro and Chopper and Usopp and Robin and performed the "Miracle Combination" like he did in Volume 17, what would it look like? Please draw it. And what would its name be?? by Kiyutarau (^_^;) O: (left side) Luffy, Chopper, Nami, Zoro (right side) Sanji, Robin, Usopp Name: Gargon (randomly picked) Picture: Volume 17, Miracle Combination (Chessmarimo!!) D: Greetings, Oda-sensei. I enjoy your work. Now here's my question. In Chapter 299 of Volume 32, when the "monsters" are explained, was this inspired by the "Brocken Effect" that appears on Mt. Brocken in the Harz Mountains in Germany? I'm sorry if I'm wrong... Well, take good care of yourself! P.N. Akiu O: Yes, the Brocken Effect. Also known as "Brocken Spectres" or "Brocken Monsters." It's caused by the same reason as in the story, and you can even see the same things happen in Japan. Also, around the head of the shadow you can see a beautiful ring of rainbow light, which is known as a "goraigoh," or "glory" in English. I'd like to see one with my own eyes, once. It must be cool.
