One Piece Volume 34 : The Water Metropolis, Water Seven Chapter 324 Adventure in the City on the Water - Page 151 - Gedatsu's Accidental Blue Sea Life Vol.10 "Days of Digging - The Great Gedatsu Must Stand on the Ground" - Page 152 - Usopp: Why don't we start by visiting the currency exchange? Luffy: Why? Let's go to the shipyard!! Usopp: Look, we can't just wander around the island carrying this massive sack of gold. It's making me all nervous. Luffy: It's still the same amount, in cash. Usopp: Well, yeah, but people are going to notice that huge sack!! What if we run into some evil pirates? Luffy: We are pirates. Nami: But you're right... if we turn it into bills, you and I can carry them around on us. - Page 153 - Luffy: ...huh? Wait a minute, did I detect a veiled insult directed towards me? That makes it sound like I shouldn't be carrying any money. Nami: Of course. You'd drop it or lose it. Usopp: Yeah, that's exactly what you'd do. Luffy: What's with you guys?! Can't you trust me?! Both: Nope. Luffy: ...huh? Is this the only entrance to town? "Rental Bull Shop"? What's that? Nami: What will they rent to you? Luffy: What's a "bull"? Usopp: Dunno. A bulldog? Nah. Nobody'd rent those. (ruff) - Page 154 - Luffy: Hey, rent me a bull please!!! Both: FIRST ASK WHAT IT IS!!! Shopkeeper: Good day, sir! A bull? For how many? Luffy: Three!! Shopkeeper: What kind of bull would you like? The ranks are "Yagara," "Rabuka," and "King." For three people, two Yagaras should work fine. Luffy: Roast 'em up good, buddy!! Usopp: Something is very wrong with this conversation!! - Page 155 - Shopkeeper: Aha, so you came here by following your Log!! Well, you can color me impressed! You probably don't know about Bulls, then. To make it simple, those are Bulls, Yagara Bulls. They're all over town. There are these fish that live around here called Yagara that swim with their heads above water. Being the "Water Metropolis," there are more waterways than walkways. These Bulls are an integral part of life here. You'll also need them if you're tourists. - Page 156 - Nami: So those fish pull boats? Shopkeeper: Pull? No, more like carry them on their backs. It would be like riding a horse on land... Or like a carriage... You see our little preserve, here? Here we are!! Go ahead and get on; you'll find it's quite comfortable. Two two-man Yagara Bulls will be 2000 Berries. Yagara: Neigh!! Neigh!! Neigh!! Nami: Awww, it's cute. Luffy: That fish looks like a horse. UMF!! Hey, you punk!! Shopkeeper: Hey! Looks like that little guy likes you!! Go ahead and use him!! - Page 157 - Luffy: This is heavy, is that okay? Shopkeeper: Sure, these guys are so strong you can use them to help when you move houses!! What's inside that bag? Luffy: GOLD! Shopkeeper: Hahaha, very funny! Well, whatever it is, they'll be fine. Luffy: Look. Shopkeeper: WHOAAAAA!!! GIMME!!! Nami: NO!!! Usopp: This man is very true to his desires. Nami: And don't just show it to people like that!!! Luffy: Why not? It doesn't hurt. Shopkeeper: Unbelievable... So, two Yagara Bulls will come to one million Berries. Usopp: YOU JUST RAISED THE PRICE!!! Nami: Is there a gold exchange around here? Shopkeeper: Well, there is... but with the amount you're carrying, I doubt they'll have enough cash. You should go to the center of town where the shipyard is. - Page 158 - Shopkeeper: Come again!! And take care!! Luffy: Yeah!! Go, Yagara!! Nami: Thanks for the map!! Luffy: Wooo, this is great! Keep goin' straight, buddy! What a convenient animal. It hardly shakes at all. - Page 159 - Group: This looks like a residential area. Wow, this place really is built around the concept of canals. Usopp: Hey, there's a sloped canal! It's flowing down, so how do they get up there? Nami: Ah, wait!! That's the wrong way!! Luffy: Yahoooo!! It doesn't matter if they're going against the current!! These guys are great!! Now we're going above the roofs. Nami: But wait a minute! This is the wrong way, we need to go to the market area... - Page 160 - Luffy: Don't be in such a rush! Let's just enjoy the trip!! Usopp: Now we're goin' downhill!!! Nami: Huh? What the?! We're in the market!! Was that... a shortcut?! Wow!! These guys are really smart!! Vendors: Nice 'n cheap, Miss!! Gather 'round, it's Half-off Hour!! Luffy: Dang, it's really busy over here!! Look at that, what a huge Bull!! - Page 161 - Bull: (noshaaa) Usopp: Whoa, scary! All: He's gonna eat us. Usopp: Huh? Who's that? Masks... Nami: Oooh, how glamorous. Usopp: Are they having a party or something? Luffy: What is it, boy? Aaah!! Hey, where are you going?! Usopp: Luffy!! Hey, where are you going?! Vendor: Welcome!! What would you like?! - Page 162 - Luffy: Oh, you're hungry!! Vendor: Yagaras love "MizuMizu Meat" (Mizu = Water) even though it's human food. Luffy: MizuMizu? Give me ten!! Soooooo.... teeeeennnnndddddeeeeerrrrr... YUM!!! Usopp: Are they that good?! Gimme one, Luffy!! Luffy: No, buy your own. Usopp: Nami! Stop the ship at that stand! Nami: There's more... They're actually all over town... The people with the masks... Usopp: C'mon, Nami!! - Page 163 - Nami: Okay... Now we're heading to the shipyard island. Through the "Floodgate Elevator." Usopp: Floodgate Elevator? Nami: It's that tower-like thing. Woman: This is the elevator to Shipyard Island! Come inside to reach the shipyard or Water Seven's town center. - Page 164 - Woman: Please proceed through the gate. One minute until closing. Luffy: What's gonna happen in there? Nami: I get it. A floodgate elevator...!! Luffy: Hey, the gate closed. Look, we're rising! Usopp: Goin' up. Luffy: Wow, Water Seven is awesome!! Nami: They can do anything with water!! - Page 165 - Sanji: Hey. Hey, Zoro!! Where's Robin-chan?! I don't see her anywhere! Zoro: Huh? I dunno... she left with Chopper. Sanji: What?! Zoro: To go shopping. Sanji: Aww, damn! Then you're the only other person on the boat! This is gonna be so boring...!! Zoro: No kidding. Sanji: Fine!! I'm going shopping too, then!! Watch the ship, all right? Zoro: (ZZZZZ) Sanji: He's already sleeping. Whatever... just keep it safe. - Pages 166 & 167 - Crew: Here we are!!! The world's greatest shipyard!!! The town center of Water Seven!!! There's definitely more ground to stand on here. Luffy: Wow, everything's so huge!!! Nami: This is the first time I've ever been in such a large city!!! Usopp: What's that crowd doing...?! Luffy: Watching the shipbuilders? Let's go check it out!! Onward, Yagara!! - Page 168 - People: Look over there, it's Lucci-san!! He's so hot!! Where's Pauly? There's Lulu!! He rocks! Lulu's the Man, man!! No way, Tileston's the man!!! Luffy: Hey mister, what happened? Man: Huh? Oh, a couple of pirates starting a fight at the #1 Dock again. Of course, the craftsmen laid 'em all out. There's no end to the idiots. Luffy: The shipwrights... beat up pirates? Man: You must be a voyager, eh? That crowd of people is basically spectators. The shipwrights of the Galley-la Company are the pride and joy of this city. Powerful and skilled... they are the very symbol of Water Seven!!! Luffy: Wow... This should be fun! - Page 169 - Man: ...I thought I was attacking you in your sleep... Zoro: Who are you...? Name yourselves. - Page 170 - Usopp Gallery Pirates Usopp: Check it out!! Street Art!!
