One Piece Volume 5 : For Whom the Bell Tolls Chapter 42 Yosaku and Johnny - Page 129 - Chapter 42 - Yosaku and Johnny Adventures of the Buggy Crew Vol.6 "Journey Through the Sky, Part 2" - Page 130 - Luffy: I DID IT!! HERE'S OUR PIRATE FLAG!!! - Page 131 - Luffy: Ha ha ha, I really put a lot of thought into this! Zoro: That's... ours...? Usopp: So basically... he doesn't have an artist's bone in his body. Nami: Actually, I'm not so sure... it could be some sort of surrealist statement. Zoro: A pirate flag is a supposed to be a "symbol of death"... ...well, I guess you could describe it as terrifying. Luffy: Whaddaya think?! (grin?!) Usopp: You totally suck, Luffy! I'll draw it!! Luffy & Zoro: Don't change it. - Page 132 - Nami: Yeah! That looks great! Usopp: That should do it. Zoro: They don't look a bit alike. Luffy: I dig it!! Let's draw it on the sail later!! Usopp: Ever since I was a wee lad I created "art" on people's walls. Me and art, we go WAY back, see. Luffy: Great! All done!! The pirate ship Going Merry is complete!! - Page 133 - Usopp: Man, I'm beat! Zoro: Huh? What the hell do you think you're doing?! Luffy: Practicing with the cannons. Might as well, seeing that they're here. But they don't shoot so well. Usopp: Let me see that, dork. Luffy: That rock. Usopp: OK. Judging from the distance to the target... Aim like so... - Page 134 - Luffy: Wow, you hit it in one shot!! Usopp: Whoa!! I hit it in one shot!! You see?! Didn't I tell you? If you need sharp aim, I'm your man. If you're impressed, you may simply call me Captain. Luffy: You're gonna be our "sharpshooter"! - Page 135 - Usopp: Well, I guess I can accept that role for starters, but if it turns out you can't take the heat, instant captain replacement. Luffy: Yeah, whatever. But I was thinking! We need one more position filled before we head for the Grand Line. Nami: That's right. We have a nice kitchen now. I can pay any necessary expenses. Zoro: A vital and indispensible member for extended sailing. Luffy: You guys are with me, right? It's exactly what a pirate ship needs. A MUSICIAN. Zoro: You're braindead! Usopp: You make like you have a good idea and it turns out to be THAT?! Nami: Do you have ANY idea what it takes to sail the seas? Luffy: But pirates gotta sing, right?! Like, all in a chorus an' stuff. Sword: (schak...!!) - Page 136 - Voice: COME ON OUT, YOU FILTHY PIRATES!!! Luffy: What the?! Voice: I'LL KILL THE WHOLE LOT'A YA!!!! Luffy: Hey!! Who the hell are you?!! Man: Don't you... be askin'... - Page 137 - Man: ME!!! Luffy: Whoa! Zoro: How many of them are there? Nami: Just one... I think. Zoro: Then let him handle it. Man: I've taken the heads of many well-known pirates over the years. And you worthless, no-name pirate wannabes... (Note: the symbol on his cheek means 'ocean.') - Page 138 - Man: TRIED TO KILL MY PARTNER!!! Luffy: What partner...? (snatch!) I don't know what you're going on about, but... - Page 139 - Luffy: DON'T BREAK MY SHIP!!! Man: Kah... ugh...!! Lost by a hair... Luffy: ...what's the deal? I have no idea what your problem is...! - Page 140 - Zoro: Huh? Is that... Johnny...?! Johnny: Uh... B... BROTHER ZORO?!!! Zoro: What's up? Why aren't you with Yosaku? Johnny: That's the thing...!! Usopp: Does he KNOW that guy...?! Nami: ...what's going on? Johnny: It's... it's Yosaku...!! - Page 141 - Zoro: He's sick?! Johnny: Yes... He was hale and hearty as could be just days ago. But then he started getting pale and fainting all of a sudden...!! I have no idea what happened to him. His teeth started falling out, and his old scars opened up and starting gushing blood. I just didn't know what to do. So I took him to a nice isolated rock to get some rest... And then a cannonball comes flying from this ship...!!! Luffy & Usopp: W... we're sorry. Johnny: It's over and done with. Don't let it bother you... If apologies settled everything, we wouldn't need police. - Page 142 - Johnny: We had finally gotten to the point where pirates would sometimes flinch at the name of "Yosaku and Johnny." We've been bounty hunting together for years, my partner and I...!!! Is he going to die, Brother...?! Nami: ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?!! Zoro: What's your problem, Nami?! Johnny: I cannot sit here and allow you to ridicule my partner's death... Nami: Luffy! Usopp! Remember where the limes are in the kitchen?! Squeeze them and bring them here! Luffy & Usopp: R... Roger!! Johnny: Limes...? - Page 143 - Nami: It's scurvy. If we're not too late, he'll be fine in a few days. Johnny: Are you serious, Sister?! Nami: Don't call me that. In times past, the disease spelled certain doom for seafarers. It's simply a matter of vegetable nutrition deficiency. Older ships didn't have the ability to store fresh fruit and vegetables on longer voyages... Luffy: Wow, you're just like a doctor. Usopp: I knew you had it in ya. Nami: You have to KNOW these things to sail at sea!! You would die without me!! - Page 144 - Yosaku: I've been nourished back to full health!!! Johnny: Wooooo, you made it, partner!!! Nami: You don't recover that fast!!! [Bounty Hunter Unit] ["Yosaku and Johnny"] Johnny: Sorry for the belated introduction. I'm Johnny!! Yosaku: I'm Yosaku!! We were once bounty hunter equals with Brother Zoro!! Pleased to make your acquaintance!! - Page 145 - Yosaku: I don't know how to thank you. I thought I was a goner fer sure. Johnny: But what's almost as surprising is that "Pirate Hunter Zoro" has now become a pirate. Yosaku: Bleeagh...!!! (blerrt) Johnny: Nwaah?!! Partnerrrr!!! Zoro: Just shut up and rest!! Nami: Let this be a lesson to you... Zoro: This is the kind of pitfall you have to look out for on an extended voyage. Usopp: If he hadn't met us, he would have died. - Page 146 - Usopp: And what we need to take care of getting the necessary nutrition on a long trip is a cook of the sea. Nami: It's a really vital "ability," when you think about it. Luffy: All right, then!! Let's find ourselves a cook of the sea!!! Besides, it'll mean we get to eat awesome grub on the ship!!! Johnny: Bro, Bro! (over here!) Zoro: What, Johnny? Johnny: If you're going to look for a sea cook, then I know the perfect place. Getting one to come with you will be a different matter, however. - Page 147 - Usopp: A restaurant at sea?! Johnny: Yeah. We should reach it in about 2-3 days, from here. But you gotta be careful, 'cause it's close to the Grand Line. Some scary folks show up there. I also hear tell that the "Hawk-Eyed Man" you're searching for appears there occasionally. I'll take you there if you like. Others: Please do!! [With the strange pair of "Yosaku and Johnny" onboard, our crew sets sail.] [They turn slightly north to search for the sea restaurant...] - Page 148 - SBS Corner O: Hello. I think I'll start the SBS Corner now. Stand! On guard!! As you were!! D: I have an inquiry, Sensei. Does the first mate on Shanks' ship have a name? The guy with the meat, too. O: Take your seat. Of course they have names. The first mate is Shofukutei Nezumi, because his face kind of looks like a mouse's, according to Usopp. Well, that's a lie. His real name is Benn Beckman. And the meat-eating fat guy's name is Lucky Roo. There's really no need to remember something like that, but since I got asked enough, I might as well clear it up. D: I have a question. I always see the sound effect "donnnn" in One Piece, but why "donnnn"? I think "babinnnn" would work just as well. O: No. No way. That will not work at all. I use "donnnn" when I draw scenes to give them that "donnnn" kind of feeling, so if I drew in "babinnnn" it would give the picture a "babinnnn" feeling. But that could work in a joke scene or something. Or maybe "ufunnnn" (giggle). Uh, disregard that. - Chapter 42 End -
