A letter of introdukshun and an easy-to-read map. Go get yer ship fixed up! Water Seven's a big place, don't get losht. Chimney: We're going back to Water Seven soon. Cocoro: Tha's right! If I see ya again, I'll take ya for a drink at my fav'rit bar, ngagaga! Luffy: Great! I hope we meet again!! Cocoro: The Log at Water Seven takes a week, so enjoy yourselves! - Page 133 - Nami: Here we go, then! Thanks for all the info, Cocoro and Chimney!! Luffy: Prepare to sail, boys!! Crew: YEAH!!! Chimney: Take care!! Cocoro: Look out fer them government officials!! [A completely unfamiliar "Sea Train" station in the middle of the sea,] - Page 134 - [Shift Station, gradually falls behind...] Luffy: Yahoooo!!! Off we go, to the Meat Metropolis!! Zoro: Were you even listening? [As the crews heads off in search of a new member,] [to the "Water Metropolis," Water Seven.] Sanji: Luffy!! Just let me find us a shipwright!! I'll find a super-hot babe!!! Luffy: Are you nuts?! It's like a carpenter!! It needs to be a huge burly guy! 5 meters tall! Usopp: If he's that big, how's he even going to live on this ship? - Page 135 - Zoro: I don't care who it is, as long as they're good. But the biggest problem could be finding one who's crazy enough to become a pirate. Chopper: I'm excited about getting a new member! Nami: We were lucky to hit that station. Now we have a map. All we have to do is follow the map and ask for the person named Iceburg. A-ha. Map: Water Seven Over Here Nami: THAT TELLS US NOTHING!! Luffy: See, we have to all look for someone like this!! Paper: Shiprite (5 meters) Usopp: If I see anyone like that, I'm running. (terrifying!!) Sanji: Me too, I'd get on the ship and set sail... but that thing looks like it has octopus genes, he'd come chasing after us anyways. Zoro: What the hell are you guys talking about? - Page 136 - Nami: Everyone over here! I'll give you special allowances for the week we spend here. Crew: WOOOO!! Disposable income!!!! Luffy: What's up, Usopp? Usopp: All these metal reinforcements... They're like memories of our battles and adventures... Once I realized they were going to be fixed and repaired, it makes me feel a bit nostalgic... Sanji: I can understand... ever since we entered the Grand Line, Merry's taken some pretty bad beatings. The creaking of the deck and the leaking down below are awful. Crew: At the current rate, this ship's going to turn dangerous to us. Yeah!! But now we have lots of money!! We can fix it up nice!! Power-up time!! We need more cannons!! Don't forget a giant statue. - Page 137 - Crew: Isn't that it? LAND HO!!! I SEE THE ISLAND!!! Okay boys, row!!! Don't waste your strength. Luffy: Whoa!! Robin: It's lovely. Chopper: Erk!! Nami: Wow. Sanji: Oooh. - Pages 138 & 139 - [Grand Line] ["Water Metropolis"] [Water Seven] Crew: WHOAAA!! What's THAT?!! Luffy: It's a huuuuge fountain!!! - Page 140 - Usopp: Wow, this really is an industrial city!! Sanji: No wonder they've got sea trains. Crew: That must be the station up in front; it says "Blue Station." Where's the port, then...? Near the town. Man: Heeey!! You there!! Luffy: Huh? Man: You can't just sail in the front way if you're pirates!! Go around to the back end of town!! Crew: Okay!! Thanks!! - Page 141 - Crew: Wow, a city on the water?! I like this place!! It's beautiful. The town... it's flooding!! Don't you see the houses sinking into the water?! Robin: No, it's a city that was built on a piece of land just under the water. Look at the foundations of the buildings. Chopper: You're right, they're pillars!! Sanji: I see... so that's why it's the Water Metropolis. Luffy: Woohoo!! Let's get this baby parked!! - Page 142 - Man: Hey, you pirates! You can't come in this way! What are you here for, plunder? Crew: Nah, we're just here to get our ship repaired. Do people normally ask if you're coming to plunder...? Man: Then there's a cape up ahead. You should moor your ship there. Crew: ...oh. Thanks. This looks good... Okay! Hoist the sail! AAAAH!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! Zoro: No...!! I just pulled on the rope! Goddamn... I didn't realize the Going Merry was in such bad shape... Nami: Why don't the people on this island fear pirates? Usopp: Cause the pirates are probably customers at the shipyard, too. Robin: Or maybe they have defense forces strong enough to repel pirates. Sanji: Yeah, they probably do... it's a big city. - Page 143 - Usopp: What?! Really?! What are we gonna do, then?!! We're in danger! Sanji: No we're not. We're customers. Usopp: Huh? Oh yeah. Both: We're off, then!! Nami: Luffy, Usopp, wait!! You have to come with me!!! Usopp: Where? Nami: Well, I've got Cocoro-san's letter. We need to look for someone named "Iceburg." We can rely on him to get the ship fixed... And I need to look for a place to exchange our gold for currency. Luffy: ...okay. So anyways!! Onward!! To the Water Metropolis!!! - Page 144 - People: Hey!! Pirates are causin' trouble at Dock #1!!! Really?! We'd better hurry, then!!! [Water Seven Shipyard] Man: I don't see what you mean. Pirate: Hahaha, well that's the thing, see. [Dock #1] [Captain of the Big Helm Pirates] [Mikazuki] [Bounty: 36 million Berries] Mikazuki: I was thinking. Thinking really hard, you know? I got my ship fixed up. So it's got to cost a lot, right? - Page 145 - Shipwright: I have work to do. Mikazuki: AND SO!! I have decided to pay you a grand total of ZERO Berries!!! Hahahahaha!! GYAHAHAHA!!! Thanks for the perfect repair job!! Iceburg: Oh my! Who is that, Califa? Califa: That, Iceburg-san, is a customer on Dock #1 who is refusing to pay for services rendered. A classic case of sexual harrassment. Iceburg: Oh my!! Sexual harrassment indeed!!! Shipwright: Sir. A craftsman is not to be toyed with. - Page 146 - Pirates: B...!! BOSS!!! Shipwright: Oh, sorry. Pirate: Watch what you're doing!! - Page 147 - Shipwright: Oh, sorry. Pirates: That's it! Draw your blades!! Who do you think we are...?!! RAAAAH!!! Gwah!!! Aaarh!!! Workers: Oh, hey, have you test-fired that cannon yet? Er, not yet. Pirates: CURSE YOU!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE...!!! - Pages 148 & 149 - [Water Seven] [Purveyors to the World Governments] [Shipbuilding Co.] [Galley-la Company] Shipwrights: The "pirate way" doesn't work in the craftsman's territory. - Page 150 - SBS Corner D: Hello, Oda-sensei. I have always enjoyed reading One Piece. Now forgive me for being so blunt, but I want to see Luffy try on all the wigs in the changing room on 2nd panel of p.168 in Volume 33! Please, Oda-sensei!! Do it for me!! P.N. Naopi O: Oh yes, all those mysterious costumes. I left that one up to my staff member Y-san, since that's in his field of interest. He happens to be the father of a young girl who loves Sailor M**n very much. By the way, my workplace is a collection of freaks and weirdos. Bishoujo Senshi (Pretty Girl Warrior) Luffymoon, Baka-tono Luffy, Yankee Luffy, Oyaji Luffy They all look pretty intimidating. D: In Volume 33, "Davy Back Fight!!" p.152, what do peanuts have to do with "Peanuts Strategy"? P.N. Kissa O: I dunno... I tried using it in a sense like "coward." For fun. It's not like I'm making fun of peanuts or anything. Peanuts from Chiba are yummy. - Chapter 323 End -
