One Piece Volume 49 : Nightmare Luffy Chapter 476 Nightmare Luffy - Page 109 - Chapter 476 - Nightmare Luffy - Page 110 - Laura: Oh, hello!! I love you!! Marry me!!! [Rolling Pirates] [Captain] [Laura the Proposer] [Running Total of Proposals: 4,443] Luffy: No. Pirates: The marriage is off!! That's the 4,444 dealbreaker!!! Well, this is our captain, Laura. Which would make us all part of a "victim's association" of shadowless saps, fated to roam the forest!! Luffy: I lost my shadow, too! I'm in a hurry. Laura: You're Straw Hat Luffy, right? - Page 111 - Laura: Look, there's NEVER been as big an uproar here on Thriller Bark before!! Moria's three spooks have all been beaten, and his mansion's half-destroyed!! Pirates: Yeah, we've been all excited since your arrival!! But our enemy has his own tricks up his sleeve! He's got his Special Zombie in action!! We know all this through our extensive victim's association information network!! We've been without shadows for three whole years, now! We're tired of living this way! If you can beat Moria, we'll get all our shadows back!! ...But alas!! Do you know where Moria is now?!! In the tummy!! He's sitting inside that monster's stomach!!! Luffy: What?! It ate him?! Pirates: No!! He's riding in the stomach! So if you don't beat the Special Zombie with your shadow in it, you can't hope to get to Moria!! And it's fighting with your people in the mansion courtyard!!! Luffy: Dammit, so THAT'S where he is!!! - Page 112 - Luffy: Well, I'm in a hurry, so- Laura: Wait just a damn moment!!! Sheesh!! Forget all the stupid explanations!! I'll just SHOW you!! We've discovered the secret of the shadows!! Pirates: Heya!! Outta the way, here we go!! Luffy: Huh?? Is that a shadow?! Pirates: Yeah, a shadow!! Once you've fed the zombies salt to get the shadows out, you can grab 'em with your own hands, like so!! Luffy: Aaaagh, nooo! You're stabbing me with the shadowww!!! Shadow: (slerrrp) Pirate: Stand still!! Luffy: Stop, I can feel my mind... Pirates: There, it's in!! ...Well?! Can you tell what's happening? Luffy: ...Yeah. Laura: Can you use a sword? Luffy: ...No, not a bit. - Page 113 - Pirates: Whoaaaaa!! Luffy: (shaking!) Huh?! What's going on?! Laura: Heeheehee! That was the shadow of a skilled marine bladesman!!! Pirates: All the strength of the shadow gets added to your own!! And as long as you're still conscious and in control, you can add as many shadows as you want!! Isn't that AMAZING?!! Laura: We can use Moria's powers to make you several times as strong as you are now!! Pirate: And we've got plenty of shadows on hand!! But if you don't have strength of mind, you'll go unconscious and all that power will go to waste. - Page 114 - Luffy: How'd you get all these shadows, anyway? Pirates: We've been desperately purifying zombies, trying to get our shadows back, but we don't just want the shadows of any old jerk running around, do we?! So we tried capturing them, and that's where we're at now!! But remember this, all right?! When shadows go into corpses, they turn into zombies... But they don't stick around in a living human being with a soul! Your power-up will only last 10 minutes at best. After that, it pops out and heads back to its owner!! Got that?! You have 10 minutes!!! We're giving ALL the shadows we've risked our lives to seize straight to YOU!!! Luffy: Ack!! Lookit all of 'em! Laura: Now that the fog has cleared, we've only got 20 minutes of night left to act!! We must hurry!! Keep a firm grip on yourself!! We think you can handle 20 or 30 shadows! We can only keep two or three at best. Now go!!! Pirates: Yes'm!! Luffy: Whoa, wait, hang on!! I'm not quite ready to... aaaghh!! - Page 115 - Laura: W-what kind of spirit does this man HAVE...?! I've never SEEN anything like this... Pirates: He- He took on a full 100 shadows!! I don't believe it!!! THIS is our star of hope!! H-hey, how's your mental grip, Straw Hat Luffy?! Can you control yourself?! Luffy: Hfff... Hfff... Yeah... It's me... The power is... overflowing... I can't stop it!!! Laura: Such a strong lad... Pirates: I dunno... I think you've changed... Weren't you smaller, before? Luffy: I'm just ITCHIN' to fight, inside!!! Laura: Well, this is our chance!! There's no time left!! Show that damned Moria his own worst nightmare!!! You're our last ray of hope, Nightmare Luffy!!! Luffy: (RAHHHHH!!!) Pirates: Wait, the mansion's not THAT way!!! - Pages 116 & 117 - Odz: "Gomu Gomu..." (hop!!) Zoro: Here he comes!!! Odz: "Bell"!!! Crew: Gwaaaahhhh!!! Whoa!! Odz: Heeheeheehee!! I feel a lot better now that I can stretch!! "Spear"!!! Crew: Dwaaahh!!! - Page 118 - Zoro: ...Shit! What's going on?! His attack power has suddenly shot through the stratosphere!! Odz doesn't have Devil Fruit Powers of his own! How can he stretch?! What did you do, Moria?!! Chopper: Hahh. Hahh. Moria: Kishishishishi!! How do you like it? THIS is my nightmare for you!! The Kage Kage Power, "Shadow Revolution"!!! Isn't it just the BEST?!! Crew: Revolution?! Moria: Shadows follow the orders of their bodies. This is common sense!! And the original form and shadow always hold the same shape... It's an ironclad law! - Page 119 - Moria: But see now!! The shadow of Odz, bound to serve its body, is sharing the space with MY shadow, and serves its own rule!! I change the shape of Odz' shadow by will!! But the shadow and body must always be the same shape!! So now, it is not the SHADOW that obeys the BODY, but the BODY that changes to obey the SHADOW!! And thus, the revolution!!! Crew: So it's the opposite of common sense. Moria forced Odz' shadow to stretch, so his body stretched along with it!!! So Odz hasn't actually turned into a rubberman. He can turn into whatever he wants!! Man, you've got to be kidding me!! We can't get anywhere NEAR it, now!!! - Page 120 - Moria: Kishishishi, I think you'll find it's even WORSE than rubber!! If I make his shadow round... Odz turns round, as well!!! Odz: Huh?! Moria: "Oddzball"!!! Kishishishi!!! Odz: Whoa!! Crew: Aaaaahhh!!! Odz: Wait, wait, Stop, master!! Stop trying to mess with my fight!! Moria: Kishishishi. Right, sorry!! I ain't trying to mess with ya!! I'm only here to back you up, see. Now crush them one by one, Odz!! - Page 121 - Chopper: Don't get too close, Zoro!!! Nami: So, where's Luffy during all this?! Usopp: Moria tricked him into running off somewhere. He best not be beaten. Nami: What?! Oh, I swear, he is SO STUPID!! {What should I do? Should I tell the others that there's another of the Seven Armed Seas here?!} So is this one of those things where we have to beat Luffy's zombie first, and then Moria after that, or else our shadows don't come back? It'll be morning before then!! Usopp: That's what the enemy wants!! We don't have a choice!! Brook: I'm sorry, my friends!!! Please hear out my request!!! Nami: Ack?! When did you get here, Skeleton?! - Page 122 - Usopp: Are you insane?! You saw what just happened to Franky, Brook!! Robin: Easily done... Nami: I'm not taking any responsibility for what happens!! If you have a last wish, tell me now!! Just be ready for the worst!! "Dark Cloud Tempo"!!! Cloud: (zapzap...)(zapzap...) Usopp: Here I am, using Kuwagata again!! Brook: Proceed, my companions!!! Nothing is more painful than an unpaid debt!!! I fight to the bone!!! Usopp: Then go on!!! (shboom!!) Brook: So I shall!!! - Page 123 - Robin: "Slalom Vine"!! Brook: Yohohohoho!! Cloud: (zapzap) Brook: Gyaaaa!!! This is such a shocker, you can see my bones!! Of course, that's all I have in the first place!!! Here I come!! Like an arrow of lightning!!! "Raikotsuken" (Lightning Bone Blade) "Gavotte Bond Avant"!!!! - Page 124 - Usopp: Holy crap!! He shot right through him!! Odz is open!!! Odz: Aaagh!!! He went through my shoulder!!! Crew: Press the attack!!! Brook: (crackle zzap) ...Mission complete. Zoro: Well done, Boney. Two Sword Style, "Nigiri" "Toro"!!!! (Climbing the Tower) Odz: Dwaahh!!! - Page 125 - Odz: Dammit...!! No, first... Finish off this skeleton!!! "Gomu Gomu"...!!! "Axe"!!! Crew: Brooook!!! Usopp: Killer Move, "Atlas Comet"!!! - Page 126 - Odz: Dwaaaahhhh!!! I don't feel a thiiing!!! You're next, little big-nose-man!!! Nami: Hang in there, Usopp!! Usopp: Aah, he's coming after ME! Odz: "Gomu Gomu"... "Bazooka"!!! Usopp: Gyaaaah!!! I'm dead!! Odz: ...Huh? I can't stretch again. - Page 127 - Robin: Ochenta Fleur, "Quatro Mano" (Eighty Flowers, Four Hands) (Note: The kanji used instead of hands is "trees.") Usopp: Huh?! Robin: "Hold"!!! Moria: Gnnn!! ...What are these hands doing?!! Robin: (grip) Moria: Gettem off me!!! Robin: I wonder if I might have you stop your shadow manipulation... Usopp: Yeah!! Way to go, Robin!!! Break his ugly neck!!! Moria: ...Huh? - Page 128 - SBS Corner D: I've made a great discovery!! Despite being in a test... I managed to reread One Piece Volumes 1-48!! And my discovery was... In "The Highest Authority in the World," Chapter 233 of Volume 25, Buggy and his crew are searching for Captain John's treasure in a cave. And then in "Perona's Wonder Garden," Chapter 451 of Volume 47, there's Captain John again! Is this a super-huge discovery, or what?! Who IS Captain John? Just how cruel was he? Tell us, Ei-chaan!! P.S. Tosa Danji O: Yes, you've found it. Well spotted. The man whose treasure Buggy and crew were searching for had become a zombie at Thriller Bark. Look close at Captain John's stomach. He has several slashes in his belly, and two swords sticking right out. These were the marks left when his crew killed him for keeping the treasure a secret from them. John died, and the location of the treasure became a legend, lost forever. D: Please don't worry about me. Do go on. P.N. 15 O: Okay. D: In Chapter 462, "Odz' Adventure," Brook and Ryuma had a duel. That form was very much like fencing! I could certainly tell, because I took fencing when I was in high school. And, reading further, the words coup droit, bond avant, remise... these are all fencing terms! I love fencing, so this was really great to see! So Brook is a fencer, then! That slender form is simply perfect for the style! (I die if I can't wear a mask!!) P.N. G-chan O: That's right, he's a fencer!! (So that's what you call it...) He's a fencer, folks!! You heard it here, people... Brook is a fencer!! And thus, the SBS has fensed!! I mean, ended! See you next volume!! - Chapter 476 End -
