One Piece Volume 40 : Gear Chapter 384 Raise the Counterattack Signal - Page 127 - Miss Golden Week's Operation: Meet Baroque Vol.19 "You Wait" - Page 128 - Soge King: {I missed my chance to get on the King Bull... W-w-w-what should I do? I'm so behind now. Man, those shipwrights are AMAZING... Either way... I left the crew... I guess I should just run away...!!} - Page 129 - Soge King: {N-n-no! No, I can't run away!! Be a man, Usopp!! You even hid your identity to tag along!! Just at the time in which Robin has given herself up to save the crew!! I MUST fight, no matter what!!!} All right...!! There's one way to catch up to everyone else... The "Operation dress up like a government person, and make my way unmolested through the government squads"!! Yep... that's a good plan... Huh?! Whoaa!! What is this, some kind of water attack?! Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!! Huh?! - Page 130 - Oimo: REGRET...!! Soge King: Gyaaa!!! The giant has awakened!!! Oimo: After 50 years, we have failed... We are disgraces to Erbaf...!!! I'm so sorry, chiefs... I'm sorry... waahhhh...!!! Soge King: E...!! Erbaf...?! ...did you come from Erbaf, the Village of Warriors?! Oimo: ...Who are you...?! Soge King: Ack. - Page 131 - Oimo: There's no use telling you... But me and Karsee... Were pirates, until 100 years ago. ...we raised hell all over the world. But one day, on an island... Two of our chiefs started a duel. The band was split, and all the crew had to return to our home. In a warrior's duel of life and death, at least the winner would return home, ...but after years and years, neither of them came back. 50 years passed... and me and Karsee thought something was wrong, so we set sail, just the two of us... On the way, we were caught by the Marines and forced to tell them all sorts of things. And then in return, they revealed to us a terrible truth. - Page 132 - Oimo: Our two mighty chiefs had both been imprisoned in a great big government jail...!! ...over 50 years ago... Soge King: Huh?? Oimo: But the government gave us a deal...!! If Karsee and I would work for them for 100 years... In other words, if we guarded this gate for 100 years, they would release our two chiefs and let us all go back to Erbaf...!!! Giants live for 300 years... We thought, 100 is no big deal, and fought for 50 years... But now, today...!! Pirates have broken through the gate...!! Who could have seen this happening...?!! CURSES!! Now our chiefs will spend the rest of their lives in prison...!! Noooo...!!! - Page 133 - Oimo: AAAAHHH...!! Soge King: Whoa whoa, wait a minute!! Something's funny here!! Oimo: What's so funny about it?! If you care to laugh about our pride... Soge King: No no, not that kind of funny! I mean, something's wrong!! Because on our travels here, we met those two!!! Your Warriors of Erbaf Dorry and Brogy have spent 100 years on that island without yet finishing their duel!!! Oimo: ...what... how do you know their names? ...huh? ...but, that's impossible... Usopp: If you need proof, just ask me questions! How do they laugh?! What are their weapons?! Their special attacks?! I know all of those, because I met them!! They weren't caught 50 years ago! That's a lie!!! - Page 134 - [Enies Lobby Island, Courthouse] Baskerville: They've moved through the island and are heading here?!! The Law Enforcement Squad has failed their duties, and 10,000 soldiers have been surpassed...?! And you still call yourselves guards of the Government's Doorstep!! FOR SHAME!!! Soldiers: W... we're sorry! But those King Bulls were simply unstoppable...!! We think it's only a matter of time before we stop the second one, though...!! Baskerville: Silence, you twerps!! Your words no longer hold credence!!! Exactly right...!! ...now we have no choice but to play our last card... we shall call THEM!!! Soldiers: ...oh no...!! You mean to let THEM loose in town?!! - Page 135 - Baskerville: THEY are!!! The executioners of this Judiciary Island!! Now!! Bring them forth!! Soldiers: Oh... Oh no...!! Baskerville: CALL THEM!!! Soldiers: Oh yeah, and Your Honor, we've lost sight of Straw Hat. Baskerville: Silence, already!! I don't need any more of your worthless info!!! The time has come for the verdict!! Soldier: Wa...!! Wait a minute!! Baskerville: Release the most just and fair "Eleven Jurors"!!! Soldier: Are you serious about that?!! The town will be destroyed!! - Page 136 - [Enies Lobby, Island] Soldiers: Aim sharp. Now fire. Zambai: Look out Gomorrah, it's a mortar cannon!!! This central road is too dangerous...!!!

Nami: On the roof?!... OK, thanks! Cocoro: Alsho, girl! Keep your phone shnail on. We can follow the situation from here. Nami: Roger! You hear that?! Zoro: We've got our destination, then...!!

Mos: They're pointing the mortar cannons at us, too! Chopper: Oh crap!! There are thousands of bad guys!! If we get trapped here!!! They'll kill us!!! - Page 143 - [Judicial Tower] Franky: Man, you must be pretty blessed, eh... I mean, when your guys don't come for you...

HURRY, TO OUR BRETHREN!!! - Page 146 - SBS Corner D: Why is Franky's fuel cola? from Shuu O: COLA IS GOOD. D: Oda-teacher, how is the manga-drawing going? Well? Good. Anyways, I thought of a new attack for Luffy. It's called Gomu Gomu Rain. What does it do? Well, he floats in the air with Gomu Gomu Storm, then splutters a bunch of spit all over the place. How's that? Hehehehe. from Ryuta O: THAT'S DIGUSTING!! AND IN A WAY EFFECTIVE!! D: Oda-sensei... hey! I have a little request... On the first panel of p.65 in Volume 26, Chopper is squeezing his hand in a fist, but! It still looks the same as it always does! Therefore! Can you show us what it looks like when he does Rock Paper Scissors?! Bye. P.N. Kachiwari-gori O: Ahaa... the same...? You think it's the same when he makes a fist. All right, get out here Chopper!! Show 'em you can do Rock Scissors and Paper! C: Hey! I can do that! (Rock, Scissors, Paper) O: See that? Look how obviously different they... YOU CHEATED!! You did it in Human Form!! Of course that works!! C: Fine, fine. You want me to do it with my hooves, right? (Rock, Scissors, Paper) O: OK Chopper!! Thanks!!! - Chapter 384 End -
