One Piece Volume 46 : Adventure on Ghost Island Chapter 444 Adventure on Ghost Island - Page 67 - Ener's Space Conquest, Vol. 14 "My Verse!! Unconditional Fury!!!" - Page 68 - Usopp: ...W-Whaddaya mean, Ghost Island?! Chopper: Hey guys!! Where'd that ghost go?! Is it still on the ship?! Zoro: No, it flew back toward the island. It must live there. Robin: About the huge tremors we felt a moment ago... If that was the sound of that mouth-like gate closing, then we've technically just been "eaten" by it. Luffy: Eaten? Robin: It's hard to tell through the mist, But the wall stretching out from the sides of the mouth seems to circle the island. - Page 69 - Robin: Which would mean the ship is now inside the wall that surrounds the island... Labels: Ghost Island "Thriller Bark," Present Location, "Mouth" Gate Usopp: Oh... so THAT'S why the skeleton told us to highfoot it outta here!! Nami: So this island is artificially wandering the seas...?! What for...? Franky: If the island itself is moving, we're in the middle of the sea, and we can't drop anchor. Usopp: Don't tell me you WANT to stop here!!! We've gotta escape! Escape at ONCE, before we're cursed! Nami: Listen up, folks...! I think I've just come down with a bad case of "Musn't-go-on-this-island-itis." Chopper: Me too!! I got it too!!! Luffy: Okay! Let's moor the ship!! Usopp: What do YOU have, "Always-ready-for-adventure-itis"?!! - Page 70 - Usopp: Seriously Luffy, rethink your position here!!! Take a look at that ominous building!! That is a real life haunted mansion!!! You do NOT appreciate the danger of evil spirits!!! Luffy: That's crazy talk. I'm gonna be totally cautious, when I catch that ghost and keep it in this cage. Usopp: YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!! (they're not bugs!!) Luffy: Besides, we gotta get our dear old pal back. Sanji!! Pirate lunches for all!!! Usopp: Pal...? Well, I'M against it!!! The day a skeleton joins our crew, I won't get a wink of sleep from the terror!!! (yohoho) Robin: I've got our lunches. Sanji: Luffy, Franky!! You tools better keep Robin-chan safe. Franky: Adventurin' on an unknown island gives me the chills o' excitement. Nami: Franky and Robin are going, too?! Robin: I happen to enjoy thrills. - Page 71 - Franky: Okay! Now then, We're going to lower a boat to take us to shore, but there's a little something I wanna show you right now. And that's "Soldier Dock System Channel 2"!!! Crew: "2"?! Franky: The system has five channels! There are two 0s, plus 1, 2, 3 and 4!! The different functions work from each different dock!! Usopp: We've seen the paddles for 0, 1 and 3, but you said 2 and 4 were still empty. Franky: Uhahaha, I said that because I wanted to keep them a secret. If you don't want to get off on the island, try THIS out!! Usopp: That's more like it!! Paddle: (wiiin)(gakon!!) Franky: Soldier Dock System Channel 2!!! Luffy: What is it? What's gonna pop out this time?! Franky: Set sail!! Shopping boat!! Paddle: (galalalala...) - Page 72 - Franky: Mini Merry #2!!! Usopp: Gyaaaa, Merryyyyyy!!! Chopper: Oooohh!! Pebbyyyy!! Franky: It's a four-man steamboat "paddleship"!!! Usopp: It's Merry! Merry's come back as a little tugboat!!! Nami: I can't believe you were hiding such a wonderful surprise!! Thank you, Franky!! Chopper: Yahooo! Now I can ride Merry again, even if he's smaller!!! Zoro: Now that's what I call consideration. Sanji: I could use a ship like that for grocery runs. Luffy: Woohooo! Let's switch, I want a turn!! Franky: Hold your horses, we'll be taking our ride in it soon enough. Let's let them enjoy it for a bit first. - Page 73 - Franky: Including the "1" and "3" I showed you before, this makes all of it!! Channel 0, Support Paddle!! Channel 1, One-man Waver, Shiromokuba #1!! (Note: Shiromokuba means "White Rockinghorse.") Franky: Channel 2, Four-man Shopping Boat, Mini Merry #2!! Channel 3, Three-man Surveillance Submarine, Shark Submerge #3!! The remaining Channel 4 actually IS empty, but depending on what the journey ahead demands, I can put some kind of weapon in it. At this point in time, this is all of the Soldier Dock System!! Think of each of them as individual warriors that will support the mothership Thousand Sunny on our voyages!! Luffy: Man, Franky, I LOVE the way you think!!! Franky: You bet! I'm the best once again this week! Mmmm.... MMSUPER!!! Sanji: Nami-san's group sure is taking its time. - Page 74 - Sound: (gonk!!) Nami: Kyaaaaaaa!!! Sanji: Huh?!! NA-!!! Nami-saaaan?!! What is it?!! What happened?!! Zoro: The hell are they doing? Can't see anything in this mist. Robin: But it came from the island. Luffy: Hey guys!!! Heyyyyyyy!!! Come back and let me ride the Mini Merry!!! Sanji: That's not the point!!! We're worried about NAMI-SAN!!! Franky: You should be worried about the other two as well. Robin: Based on that scream, maybe they were cursed to death by a ghost... Zoro: Why don't you help move the ship closer, rather than searching for gruesome explanations. - Page 75 - Sunny: (clunk...) (shhhru...) Sanji: Huh?! Luffy: The anchor lowered on its own!!! Sanji: Nobody touched the anchor!!! Franky: ...it's brand new. No way the gears could be going weak... Sanji: Well, let's haul it back! The ship'll lose its balance!! Zoro: Huh?! Luffy: What?! Now the hatch is opening on its own?! ...who touched it?! Sanji: No one... Nobody's even near it. - Page 76 - Luffy: Huh? Sanji: Hey Luffy!! What the hell are you doing playing around at a time like this?!! Luffy: Nee!! Hihoh!! Hihoh hihoh!! (I'm not!! I'm not, I'm not!!) Hi haih hoohoo huhhuh!! (I ain't doin' nothin'!!) (nyonnnng) Sanji: What do you mean?! What's your mouth doing, then?! Luffy: Pwoh!! Sound: (Grrr...) Luffy: Whoa!!! Sanji: What in the hell kind of game are you playing?!! Robin: A wild animal growl...?! Sword: (shwshh!!) Zoro: Huh?!! - Page 77 - Franky: Look out, Straw Hat!!! Luffy: Guheh!! Sword: (thukk!!!) Franky: Hey!! What the hell was that for?!! Zoro: Sorry!! My sword just leapt out on its own...!!! Crew: ...strange... (pop...) ...does this mean there's something ELSE on deck... Besides US...?! Franky: Is it that ghost, then...? Or some kind of supernatural ESP power...? Luffy: ...I felt like someone touched me. Robin: ...and I heard the growl of a wild animal. Crew: Wild animal?! This is getting weirder by the moment...!! - Page 78 - Sanji: Shit!! Well, it's enough for me to decide this place is well out of the ordinary!! Now I'm even MORE worried about Nami-san!! You guys watch the ship!! I'm going to the island to rescue those three!!! (snatch!!)(snatch!!) Hogehhh!!! Guys: Whoaaa!! What a gnarly faceplant!!! What the-?! Sanji's floating! Sanji: (shhh...) Guys: What does it mean?!! Sanji: Dwaah!! Luffy: Hey, Sanji!!! Sanji: ...grr...!! What in the... HELL was that?! - Page 79 - Zoro: You just said "hogehhh." Sanji: Shut the hell up!!! See if YOU like it when it happens to you!!! Franky: ...is it trying to keep us from leaving the ship...?! Zoro: Can't see the point of it... If it wants to kill us, it's had more than enough chances!! Robin: (liiiick!) Ah! Luffy: Robin!!! Sanji: What is it, Robin-chan?!! Voice: (Grrrrrrrr!!!) Robin: ...something's... got me...!!! Sanji: All right, NOW this is going just a bit too far!!! Luffy: It really IS a wild beast's voice!!! Is it a wild animal ghost?!! Crew: Whoaaa!!! - Page 80 - Crew: Waves!! Unnatural waves within the wall!! The ship's being pushed around!!! Sanji: Robin-chan, where's the enemy?! Robin: Hahh. Hahh... Don't worry, it's gone...!! Zoro: Hey Hogeh, raise the anchor! The ship can't move freely!!! Sanji: Don't you dare call me Hogeh again, dammit!!! Shoot!! We're going to be split apart from Nami-san!!! Crew: Usopp, Chopper, yell back!!! Hey Franky, do something with this ship's secret weapons!!! Okay, I got a great "Pop-Out Surprise Pool" we can use!! That sounds fun!! AND USELESS!!! - Page 81 - Usopp: Yeowwwww...!! Where ARE we?! What's happening to us...?! Nami: Well, it SHOULD hurt. We just fell... About 6-7 meters from up there. We're already inside the Ghost Island...!! Both: Eeeeeeep!!! Nami: Stop that! You're only making me more scared than I already am!!! We got a little too carried away on the Mini Merry, and grounded on the shore. In that instant, the three of us were tossed, Merry: (gonk!!) Nami: And fell right into this canal. This was 100% my fault, but I hope you'll forgive me on account of my cuteness! Usopp: I oughta beat you down!!! Anyways, what's with this place? How come there's such a deep canal right at the edge of the island?! Sign: I'm sorry. Nami: It might be a trap for enemies. We're lucky they didn't have bamboo spikes set up down here. Chopper: Good thing our fall was cushioned by these skeletons. Both: Eeeeeep!!! Nami: I said STOP THAT!!! - Page 82 - Usopp: But this is still just the entrance. If we stay put, Luffy will help find us. Chopper: I dunno, I'm scared here. It's below the water level. Usopp: Yeah, it's dangerous and hard to spot. Nami: We should at least wait on the shore up above. Usopp: But where do we go to... Beast: (wuff)(wohf)(crak... crak...) Usopp: A dog? Nami: That's no dog...!! Beast: (Grrrrr...)(Grrrr...) - Page 83 - All: CERBERUS!!! Cerberus: (woof!!)(woowoof!!)(yip!!) Chopper: Huhhh?!! Nami: C... Cerberus... actually exists?!! Usopp: What else would you call that?!! Cerberus: (woof!!)(woof!!)(yip!!) Crew: It's the guardian of hell!! Which means we're in hell?! Cerberus: (woof!!)(woof!!)(yip!!) Usopp: Stopping only means certain devourment!! Keep running!!! Cerberus: (woof!!)(woof!!)(yip!!) (woof!!)(woof!!)(yip!!) Usopp: ...yip...?!! Can't fool me, one of 'em's a FOX!!! - Page 84 - Nami: You just made him mad!!! Cerberus: (woof!!)(woof!!)(gyerp!!) Usopp: I guess he doesn't like being reminded!! Chopper: Now he's saying GYERP!!! Crew: Stairs!!! Hahh. Hahh. We're back on normal ground!! Cerberus: (grrr...)(grrrr...)(gyerp!!) Usopp: {Guess that dog's nose ain't up to snuff... He's gone...} Nami: What now? We've gone way into the forest... Chopper: With that thing prowling around, it'll be hard to wait in a visible spot. Voice: Hyeth, indeed. - Page 85 - All: Gyaaaaaa!! Who's there?!! Hildon: It ith I... Hildon, at your thervice. I notithed you being chathed by that wild dog, tho I thtealthily purthued you from behind, in cathe you needed help, yeeeth... Night will be thettling in thoon on thith foretht.
