Marines: What's going on?!!  Why are they just jumping into the sea...
	It's a ship!!!  Judging from the flag, it must be the Straw Hat Crew's ship!!!
	How did they sneak it through the whole fleet of battleships?!!
	Should we fire?!!
	No, Nico Robin's on board!!

Sanji: Bhwaa!!

 - Page 189 -

Zoro: Hurry!!

Usopp: Merryyyy!!!
	Merry was alive!!!

Luffy: Whoaaa!

Cocoro: Get on board, ya Power-users!!  Ngagaga!!

Chopper: It's Merry!  It's Merry!!
	Yeaaah!!  I love the Merry!!!

Franky: I don't believe it... I saw the ship fall into the water...!!

Nami: Who rode it back here?!

Zoro: We can find out later!!  Give the orders and we'll blow this joint!!

Luffy: Bwaah!!  Man, that was close!  I thought they were gonna blow me to bits!!
	Hey, Robin!!  Thanks for sav...
	Mmgh!!

 - Page 190 -

<<Luffy: Leave the rest
	to us!!

Robin: Thank you!
	Everyone.

Sanji: Heheh!!

Gonbe: (meow!!)

 - Page 191 -

Luffy: Don't sweat it!!
	Heeheehee!!!

Zoro: Can we save the sappiness for AFTER we escape?!

Sanji: Sappy?!  I'LL show you sappy, Marimo!!

Zoro: Shut up!!  What's the point if we get ourselves killed after all?!!

Sanji: Apologize!!  Apologize to Robin-chan!!!

Nami: Sanji-kun, take the rudder!!

Sanji: Yes ma'am, Nami-san!

Spandam: What... are you KIDDING me...?!
	You're just gonna let them get away...?!!
	Blow Nico Robin up with the ship, rather than letting them escape!!!!
	That is (not actually) a direct request from Admiral Aokiji!!  All ships prepare to fire!!!

 - Page 192 -

Marines: F-from Admiral Aokiji?!
	All right!!  Take aim!!!
	All ships, prepare to fire!!!

Spandam: {Wahaha, suckers!!  I'M not gonna let them get away!!!
	Just kill 'em all!!!}

Franky: DAMN!!  Spanda was still alive?!!

Usopp: They're aiming for us!!!

Nami: Catch the starboard wind and head east!!!

Crew: It won't work!!  We're surrounded on all sides!!
	It's like a sea of cannons out there!!!
	They can't POSSIBLY miss us!!!

 - Page 193 -

Marine: Fire!!!

Usopp: Here it comes!!!
	T-they... self-destructed?!!
	None of the other shots hit us!!!

Marines: Where the hell are you aiming!  Not a SINGLE hit?!
	That's odd!!  The alignment just went haywire...!!!
	Don't give me your BS excuses!!!
	Look out!!!
	We're gonna collide!!!
	What's that?!  What's going on?!!

 - Pages 194 & 195 -

Marines: AAAAAAHH!!!
	The Gate of Justice has started to close!!!
	(kabooom!!)
	The pressure of the gates is causing the current to whirl...!!!  They're playing havoc with the rudders!!!
	So THAT'S why the alignment was off!!!
	Don't get sucked into the whirlpools!!!
	Who in the hell closed the gate, then?!
	What's going on here?!
	The gate controls are in the Bridge of Hesitation's 3rd Support Column!!
	We didn't do anything...!!!
	Aaaahh!

Sanji: Wow, even better than I imagined!!

Usopp: Sanji!!  Was that... YOU?!

Sanji: You knew this wasn't an enemy we could beat with sheer force, right?
	(grin)

 - Page 196 -

Usopp: H... Holy crap, Sanji!!!

Luffy: Genius!  Genius in our midst!

Sanji: Heh heh heh.

Zoro: C'mon, quit celebrating!
	It's not like those whirlpools can't kill US, too!!

Chopper: He's right!!!  I'm a goner!!!

Nami: Keep your traps shut!
	With us on the Merry,
	there's NO sea we can't cross!!!

Crew: Oh yeah!!  That's right!!!  Get us outta here, Navigator!!!

Nami: Just hang on tight until I get a good read on the whirlpool currents!!

Crew: Can do!!
	Waaaah!
	Gyaaaa!

Spandam: Kill them!!!
	We've got 7 ships here!!!  Can't you take out one tiny little flick-of-snot dinghy, you brainless goons?!!

Marines: Don't let them get away!!  Fire!!!

 - Page 197 -

Crew: Oh damn!!!  This one's right on target!!!
	We can't avoid it!!!

Luffy: DHOOF!!!
	(boyongg!!)

 - Page 198 -

Usopp: Demons!!!

Nami: There it is!  The path to victory!!
	Chopper!!  Full to port!!

Chopper: Yeaaah!!  I can do stuff, too!!!

Chimney: Good luck, little reindeer!!

Gonbe: Meoww!

Nami: Head for 9 o'clock!!!

Marines: The pirate ship has drifted toward the waterfalls.

 - Page 199 -

Spandam: Fire!!!  Fiiire!!!  What in the world are you doing?!!
	You dunderheads!!!

Marines: They seem to have caught the flow of the whirlpools!!
	They're moving at an incredible speed!!!

Crew: Whoaaa!

Spandam: Damn them... DAMN them!!!  I used the entire strength of Enies Lobby,
	I used the full power of the national-strength Buster Call-!!!

Luffy: Go, go, go!!  Just keep going!!!

Spandam: And you still can't take...
	One stupid helpless woman...
	FROM A BAND OF MORONIC PIRATES!!!!

 - Pages 200 & 201 -

Spandam: Aagh!!

Marine: Chief!!

Spandam: St-
	Stop... no...
	Help...

Robin: "Clutch"!!

Spandam: GYAAAAH!!!

Marines: Chief!!!

Nami: Franky, do your thing!!

Franky: You got it!!!

Marines: Box them in!!!
	Don't let the ship out of the whirlpool!

Franky: This might put a little stress on the ship...!!
	"Coup De"...
	"VENT"!!!!

Marine: T-the ship just went flying!!!
	Is that even possible?!!
	It just jumped out of the fleet's range!!!

Usopp: Don't ignore his sheer experience!!!
	Merry's flown 10,000 meters into the air!!!
	Killer Move!!
	"Cho-Kemuri-boshi"!!! (Super Gunpowder Star)

Spandam: Fire!!  Fire!!!  Don't let them get away!!!

 - Page 202 -

Marines: It's a smokescreen!!

Crew: Wahahaha!!

Marines: Curse you...!!!
	After them!!!  We've got the speed to match!!!
	We can't, sir!  It's all we can do to keep from being sunk into the whirlpool!!
	Fire!!!
	Fiiiire!!!

 - Page 203 -

Family: It looks like the Straw Hats got out safe!!
	Yahoooo!!
	Time to go home, folks!!!
	Boss is safe, too!!!
	Yeaaah!!
	Gooo, Puffing Tom!!!

Marine: Y... you were here, sir?!  I had no idea!!
	W-we'll go after them again!!!
	This won't be the end of it, I assure you!!!

Aokiji: ...don't bother.
	...the fleet and island make it clear.
	Anyone could see...
	This entire affair...

 - Pages 204 & 205 -

Aokiji: Has been
	a clear defeat for us.

Cocoro: Humph... izzat gonna work fer ya?

Luffy: Yeah...!  This is my seat!!
	We only got out alive 'cause of you!
	Thanks, Merry!!

Franky: Man, I'm still havin' trouble believin' what you guys just did...
	I mean... shooting down the World Government's flag?  Cojones!

Luffy: All we did was
	take our friend back!!

Crew: AND WE
	WON THIS FIGHT!!!!
	Yeaaah!!!

SBS Corner

D: Hello, ODA-sensei.  Your body is fine?  My name is Kimeunhyang.  Lately, Volume 41 has been
	published even in Korea.  This is a sudden question, what is "this" thing between the
	waist and legs of the ONE PIECE logo?  A skirt?  Is it really a skirt?  I want to know
	so badly, I can't sleep.
O: Thank you.  This was a question from Korea.  I think if I draw it out, you'll understand.
	Is the "hand" part what threw you off?

D: Hey!  Odacchi!!  I conducted an investigation during my very busy summer vacation.  You know
	how you use "Don!" or "Donnn!!" a lot, as a sound effect?  So I counted the number of
	times "Don" was used in One Piece, through Volume 42, Chapter 409!  (Only counting Don,
	Donnn, Dodon, Dodonnn.  Excluded sounds which I suspected to be gunshots or attack
	sounds)  My unofficial count found a grand total of 1,469 DONS!  (Donnn!!)  On average,
	that makes about 3.5 Dons in every chapter.  Did you know that??  Is there any other
	mangaka which uses "Don" so often?  Come on guys, let's give him a round of applause!
	Clap clap clap... wow.  Yes!  Now that you're in a good mood, let's
	END THE SBS!!!  (DODONNN)	P.N. SYAM no M
O: Waaaaait!  Let me say something first!  HOW MUCH FREE TIME DO YOU HAVE?! (LOL)
	No really, thanks a lot.  I guess that's just how many scenes I felt confident in!
	See you next volume!
