What's wrong?!! Do you know him?!! Aokiji: Yes... we've met before... Nami: Look how much Robin is panicking... Who is he?!! - Page 53 - Aokiji: ...my my my, Settle down. Let's not be hostile, kids... I'm not here on official orders. The weather was just nice. I wanted to go on a walk... Zoro: Orders?!! Who do you belong to?!! Robin: He's a sailor. Marine Headquarters "Admiral" Aokiji. Crew: ADMIRAL??!! - Page 54 - Sanji: A... ...Admiral...?!! How high up is that?!! Robin: The number of Marine officers who hold the rank of "Admiral" is only three...!!! "Akainu." "Aokiji." "Kizaru." (Note: Red-Dog, Blue-Pheasant and Yellow-Monkey, respectively.) Robin: The only person above them is Sengoku, the head of the Marines. He's one of the three men... called the "Greatest Powers" of the World Governments!!! Usopp: Then why is he HERE?!! ...he should be going after the big pirates worth billions!!! G... GO AWAY!! - Page 55 - Aokiji: My my my, what a fly girl we have here. Check out those super yabbos!! You doin' anything tonight? Sanji: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, STICK-BOY?!! Usopp: LISTEN TO ME!!! Aokiji: Hold on a minute, just relax... Have YOU guys been listening to ME? I told you, I'm just here for a walk. Don't get all pissed. You guys are all, like... you know. Whatever, I forgot. Both: YOU'RE NOT MAKIN' ANY SENSE!!! Usopp: What's with him, Robin?!! This has to be the wrong guy!!! He can't be a Marine Admiral!! Aokiji: Hey, don't judge a man by his looks. - Page 56 - Aokiji: My motto as a Marine is "Lazy-ass Justice." Both: WE CAN TELL!!! Aokiji: So anyways... sorry, guys... I'm a bit tired of standing... Usopp: Then why were you sleeping standing up? Aokiji: To sum it up, I don't have any intention of arresting you, so chill. I only came to confirm the whereabouts of Nico Robin after the events in Alabasta. She was with you, just like we thought. Sanji: Damn, he really is lazy. Usopp: At least he's got the impudence of an admiral. Aokiji: I'll probably need to report to HQ. With another bounty in your crew, your total bounty is naturally going to change. 100 million plus 60 million, plus 79 million makes... I dunno. Whatever. Zoro: At least finish adding them up. - Page 57 - Luffy: GOMU GOMU!!! Usopp: Wait a minute, Luffy!!! Stop, STOP!!! Aokiji: Hmm? Luffy: LET ME GO!!! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!! Sanji: Why are you attacking him?!! Usopp: He's the strongest of the Marines!!! Luffy: SO WHAT?!! AM I SUPPOSED TO JUST HAND ROBIN OVER?!! Aokiji: No, listen. I'm telling you, I'm not going to do anything... Luffy: I'll whoop your ass!!! Whaddayou mean, a walk?! Don't walk over here then!! Leave!! Aokiji: Dang, you're mean. Nami: Luffy seems to be pushing him around... Aokiji: Okay then... I'll leave... But before that, I heard you talking while I was asleep. - Page 58 - Aokiji: You over there... Tonjit: Huh? Aokiji: I sleep light... so I heard most of the conversation. Pack up your stuff and get ready to move. Luffy: Hey Mister!! You don't have to listen to him!!! He's a MARINE!!! Tonjit: Isn't that good? Luffy: Oh yeah, it is, I forgot. (ahaha) Usually Marines are the good guys and we're the bad guys. Usopp: THAT ISN'T FUNNY!! - Page 59 - Luffy: He says he's gonna help him. Usopp: No, he can't. Aokiji: Basically, you want to catch up to your nomadic village. They're three islands ahead. And you want to get there by moving to the next island on your horse, when the tide is low. Doesn't that horse have an injured leg? Or am I wrong? Usopp: If you know all that, then you should know he can't begin to move yet. Aokiji: It's okay. Usopp: You're not convincing anybody!! Robin: ...no, he's right... He... he can make it happen. - Page 60 - Aokiji: Okay. Here's the water. Shelly: (neigh) Aokiji: So this is the place where, once a year, the tide goes down and you can travel on a road to the next one. A little hard work feels good once in a while. Luffy: Yeah, it does!! Hey, you're not such a bad guy!! Tonjit: Thank you for all your help. Now, who'd like some cheese? Usopp: No, don't!! Nami: So we're working with him, after all... Luffy: So... What's gonna happen? You gonna swim and pull the house and horse behind you? Aokiji: Of course not... Now. Stay back... - Page 61 - Tonjit: OH NO!!! IT'S THE MASTER OF THESE WATERS!!! Usopp: What is that?!! Get outta the way!!! Luffy: Look out!!! Aokiji: "Ice Age." - Pages 62 & 63 - - Page 64 - Zoro: Devil Fruit!!! Crew: The ocean froze solid...!!! Robin: Logia-type... An Ice-man, from the "Hie Hie Fruit"...!! (Note: Hie(ru) means "to chill.") Robin: This is the strength of a Marine HQ Admiral...!!! - Page 65 - Aokiji: It'll hold for a week... Take your time walking... And go find your village... Be sure to bundle up... it'll be a bit chilly... Tonjit: ...am I dreaming...? The sea has turned... into a plain of ice...!! Shelly... We can cross the water. We can see our friends!!! For the first time in 10 years!!! Shelly: (neigh!!) - Page 66 - Tonjit: Thanks, fella!!! Thank you!! Thank you!!! What a miracle!!! Thanks for everything!!! Shelly: (neigh!!) Tonjit: ...all right then, we'll be going. Luffy: I'm glad for you two!! Chopper: Make sure to change the bandages, Shelly. Shelly: (neigh) Tonjit: I don't know how I can thank you... If you hadn't come along, I'd still be on top of those stilts. - Page 67 - Tonjit: THANK YOU ALL!!! I'LL NEVER FORGET THIS!!! Shelly: (neigh!!!) Crew: TAKE CARE!!! BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!! DON'T RIDE ANY MORE STILTS!!! - Page 68 - Luffy: Ahhh... case closed. Usopp: Whoa!! It's freezing!! Achoo!! Luffy: It's like winter already! Chopper: Ahaha. Luffy: Huh? ...what? Aokiji: I don't know, you're like... You're just like your grandfather... Monkey D. Luffy... Maybe it's the wildness... Or that you're hard to grasp...!! - Page 69 - Luffy: ...G... Grandpa...?!! Usopp: What...? Luffy's grandfather?! Huh? What's wrong, Luffy? You're sweating!! Luffy: N... n... no! It's... nothing... Aokiji: You see... I owed your grandfather a "favor" once, years ago... The reason I'm here is just to take a look at Nico Robin... and you. And I think... You ought to die now. - Page 70 - Usopp Gallery Pirates (more on p.110) - Chapter 319 End -
