Symbols - One Piece Chapter 70, pages 11-18

00AI-written

A small boat glides toward the towering structure of Arlong Park as large Japanese sound effects rumble across the sky. On the vessel, two figures scan the shore while a speech bubble declares, "WE'VE FINALLY ARRIVED BUT..." Another continues, "THE REAL PROBLEM IS FROM HERE. FIRST, LET'S TRY TO FIND WHERE NAMI DOCKED THE SHIP..." In a close-up, Roronoa Zoro draws his sword with a sharp "SHING!" and asks, "AND THEN CUT OUR WAY INI" At the entrance of a building marked with Japanese characters, Usopp leans forward yelling, "ARE YOU AN IDIOT!I WE DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON YET!" while Luffy retorts, "AS IF!" The chapter title appears at the bottom: CHAPTER 70 "THE WARRIOR USOPP'S GREAT ADVENTURE".

A dramatic black-and-white color spread titled "THE WARRIOR USOPP'S GREAT ADVENTURE" displays the Straw Hat crew posing with weapons and an umbrella. Luffy sits cross-legged holding a staff, Nami stands behind him with a sword, Sanji grips a blade, Zoro poses confidently with crossed swords, and Usopp crouches in the foreground wearing a striped cloak and hat while holding a staff. Chopper's wanted-poster-style face appears in the lower left beside the large ONE PIECE logo. The chapter number 70 runs vertically along the right edge.

Luffy grins while seated with his staff, Nami holds a sword beneath a parasol, Sanji stands with blades, Zoro poses with crossed swords, and Usopp crouches in a striped cloak gripping a staff. Chopper's colorful wanted-poster face sits beside the bold ONE PIECE logo. The chapter number 70 is printed vertically on the right.

The Going Merry has docked at a quiet pier lined with palm trees. Voices call out in excitement: "SHE DOCKED IT OVER THERE!" "I FOUND GOING MERRY!" "THERE IT IS!" Below deck, Usopp furiously confronts a wildly thrashing Luffy. "THAT'S ENOUGH. LOOK AT YOURSELF, YOU'RE ABOUT TO FAINT JUST FROM YELLING! YOU WERE AN INCH AWAY FROM DEATH, REMEMBERI" Luffy shouts back, "I SAID UNTIE ME!" Zoro, arms crossed and visibly irritated, studies a map and remarks, "IT'S A LITTLE OFF FROM THE 'COCOYASHI VILLAGE' MARKED ON THIS MAP. HMM, THAT CERTAINLY IS A RATHER STRANGE PLACE TO DOCK THE SHIP. HEY, WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS! UNTIE ME NOW!" Luffy suddenly bursts into loud laughter, "AREN'T YOU SUDDENLY CHEERFUL NOW THAT WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO ARLONG PARK... JUST LEAVE IT TO ME! I'LL BRING THAT GIRL BACK!" with the large SFX "よーうっはっはっ" filling the panel.

Usopp strikes a dramatic pose on the deck, declaring, "FITTING TITLE, EH JOHNNY-BOYI WILL HEREBY BE KNOWN AS 'THE WARRIOR USOPP'S GREAT ADVENTURE!' ALRIGHT! THE ADVENTURE ABOUT TO UNFOLD AS I BRAVELY STEP FOOT ON THESE VIRGIN LANDS!" Luffy yells from the side, "BRING ME UP RIGHT NEXT TO HER! STARBOARD TO GOING MERRY!" while Johnny answers "AYE-AYE." The ship glides toward the dock of a tropical village filled with palm trees and wooden buildings. A large question mark appears above Luffy's head as the crew stares at the quiet scene. The SFX "スイー..." trails across the water. In close-up, Usopp and Zoro's faces twist in shock at the sight of several fish-men standing on the shore, with the word "FISHMEN...!!" and the SFX "ドン...!!" emphasizing their alarm.

Usopp panics as the ship continues forward, yelling "SSHHH! THE HELL ARE YOU JUST PASSING BY FOR!I" while Luffy calmly replies "AYE-AYE. FULL SPEED AHEAD." The SFX "スイー...ッ" follows the vessel. Zoro sweats nervously, thinking, "IT'S NO GOOD... THIS ENTIRE REGION SEEMS TO BE UNDER ARLONG'S CONTROL." Usopp points accusingly at him, shouting, "THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE MAD IS ME. I'M FREAKIN' SCARED OUT OF MY WITS, YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT!I DO YA, PUNK!I DIDN'T YOU SEE THEM!I THERE WERE FISHMEN! THE ARLONG PIRATES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" A background fish-man reacts with "GAHH!" and the line "HMM, THAT'S AN UNFAMILIAR SHIP!" From the dock, Usopp urges, "JUST HURRY UP AND UNTIE ME, YOU IDIOTS!" while Zoro asks, "WELL, NOW THAT WE KNOW WE CAN'T BRING NAMI BACK... WHAT SHOULD WE DO, BROTHER USOPPI"

Monkey D. LuffyRoronoa ZoroUsopp

Luffy and Usopp leap from the ship in a blur of motion, shouting "AYE-AYE!" and "HEY! WAIT A SEC!" as they abandon the vessel with the SFX "ん!!" and "バキン". A lone fish-man on the deck wonders, "HUH, THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY ON-BOARD...I" while another fish-man yells "STOP THE SHIP!" and "HEH HEH, LOOKS LIKE I CAUGHT UP TO YA. AT LEAST UNTIE ME BEFORE YOU RUN AWAY!" with the SFX "シャキシャキシャキ". On the dock, a fish-man grins and says, "I SEE, THEN THOSE MUST BE TORTURE WOUNDSI" while pointing at Zoro's scars. Zoro smirks and replies, "I SWEAR I'LL KILL THEM FOR THIS!" Usopp asks nervously, "YEAH... SORT OF... WERE YA EXILED OR SUMTHIN'I"

Zoro floats unconscious in the sea while Johnny and another man cling to him. Johnny cries out, "Such an unfortunate person... I'll never forget you, bro...!" The other man replies, "Forgive us, Zoro. I shall pass along word of your gallant bravery to Luffy." They decide, "Well, let's take him to Arlong for the time being...!" Moments later the pair surface near shore with Luffy still limp between them. Johnny shouts "WHA..." in shock, the other gasps "AH...", then agrees "SURE." They resolve, "Well, that's enough of that. Let's go on shore." The scene shifts to a ruined coastal town. Narration states, "...T-THIS IS PROBABLY, 'GOSA VILLAGE' THAT ARLONG SUPPOSEDLY DESTROYED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO..." A voice wonders, "JUST WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED TO THIS TOWN...!I"

Johnny and the swordsman stand in the middle of the devastated street as massive onomatopoeia "ドォォン!!" echoes overhead. Johnny exclaims, "ALL THE HOUSES HAVE BEEN THROWN UPSIDE DOWN...!" The swordsman mutters, "WHAT A SIGHT..." The town lies in ruins, buildings collapsed and streets cracked. A tense close-up shows the swordsman sweating heavily, thinking, "FISHMEN ARE 10 TIMES STRONGER THAN HUMANS...!" and "...I'VE HEARD THAT FROM THE MOMENT THEY'RE BORN."

From a wrecked building, Usopp peers out and asks, "HMI WHAT'S WRONG, JOHNNY!I" Narration and dialogue describe the destruction: "AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TOWNS THAT OPPOSE ARLONG...!" "THIS IS... THE STRENGTH OF THOSE FROM THE GRAND LINE...!" A massive fish-man suddenly looms behind Johnny, roaring "ゴォォォォォ" while declaring, "YOU MUST BE THAT EXILED HUMAN'S PARTNER...!" and "ALMOST LET'CHA GET AWAY." Johnny yells "WAIT!" as the fish-man attacks with a powerful strike, sending Johnny flying amid impact sounds "ズゥゥゥゥン!!" and "ドドドドドド." Usopp screams "GYAAAAAAA!" in terror while the fish-man laughs triumphantly.

Zoro stands ready and says, "I SHALL WAIT HERE FOR YOSAKU AND BROTHER LUFFY. MAY YOU BE SAFE, BROTHER USOPP!" Elsewhere Usopp flees in panic, gasping "WHEW, TALK ABOUT A CLOSE CALL..." while the fish-man pursues. Usopp taunts, "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" and boasts, "I'M A MASTER WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING AWAY!" The fish-man sneers, "YOU THINK YOU CAN CATCH UP TO ME!I" and laughs "PUHAHA HAHAHA!" Usopp suddenly stops, shouting "WHAT!I" as he is struck and sent flying with a loud "ガッッン!!" He glares back furiously and yells, "I'LL AVENGE MY DAD'S DEATH! I FOUND YOU, FISHMAN...!"

Nojiko shields the terrified Gosa Village boy Chabo with her body as a fishman officer lunges forward. "DON'T HARM THE FISHMEN!" she cries. The fishman swings a massive spiked morningstar, roaring "DIE, YOU ROTTEN FISHMAN!" while shocked villagers gasp "AH!I" and "BARELY!I" Nearby, two onlookers whisper "JUST BARELY THOUGH. BUT HE'S A HUMAN," and "LOOK CLOSELY, HE MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE LIKE ARLONG." Chabo trembles, hands on his head, as Nojiko glares fiercely. In the background, another fishman is struck and sent flying with a loud "ドーン!!" while shouts of "HE'S HERE!" and "WAIT RIGHT THERE!" ring out. The panel labels read "COCO YASHI VILLAGE WOMAN NOJIKO" and "GOSA VILLAGE BOY CHABO."

The fishman officer charges, yelling "STAND BACK! I CAN'T RUN AWAY, LEAVING BEHIND A DEFENCELESS WOMAN AND CHILD!" and "IF IT'S JUST ONE FISHMAN, I'M SURE I CAN MANAGE SOMEHOW." Nojiko and Chabo stare in shock as the fishman declares "IT'S A REAL ONE THIS TIME..." and "IT'S A FISHMAN!" The fishman attacks with a stretching weapon labeled "STRETCH," shouting "CERTAIN KILL... EAT THIS!" and "IT'S THE OPPOSITE, I'VE RESOLVED TO TAKE YOU ON!" A massive fishman face looms, growling "FINALLY GAVE UP, DID YA NOWI YOU THERE, SUSPICIOUS HUMAN!" Nojiko blocks the blow, warning "I TOLD YOU, DON'T HARM THE FISHMEN!" amid impact sounds "ばんっ!!!" and "ドサッ..." "ゴンッ!!"

NojikoChabofishman officer

The scene shifts to the peaceful outskirts of Cocoyashi Village, an orange orchard surrounding a small house. Inside, Nojiko sits with Chabo and the captured fishman officer. She tells him, "YOU'RE IN MY HOME. SO YOU WOKE UPI" The fishman panics, "T-THIS PLACE IS...!I" and screams "AHHH!" Nojiko introduces herself calmly: "MY NAME'S NOJIKO. I GROW ORANGES HERE." The fishman demands, "DON'T WORRY, WE LOST HIM. AND WHAT ABOUT THAT FISH-MAN!I YOU'RE THAT WOMAN FROM EARLIER... WHO'RE YOU!I" A large sound effect "どぉーん!" echoes over the tranquil village view.

NojikoChabofishman officer

Inside the house, Nojiko explains the situation to the bound fishman officer and Chabo. She says, "THE ONE DID THE SAVING WAS ME! THIS IS WHY I WAS GOING TO SAVE YOU TOO...!" and "HMPH, AND AFTER I WAS GOING TO SAVE YOU TOO...!" Chabo glares, accusing, "ARE YOU THE FISHMEN'S LACKEY!I WAIT A SEC, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KNOCKED ME OUT!" The fishman officer growls, "I WON'T FORGIVE THEM EVEN IF I DIE!" and "I KNOW, BUT...! BUT THEY KILLED MY DAD!" Nojiko continues, "WILL ONLY GET YOU KILLED. YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE MORE THAN WELL AWARE... BUT YOU'RE FROM GOSA VILLAGE, RIGHTI IF SO, THEN YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT ATTACKING THE FISHMEN, THEY BROUGHT ALONG THAT HUGE MONSTER I'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN BEFORE AND... DESTROYED MY ENTIRE TOWN...! THEY KILLED SO MANY PEOPLE! THAT'S WHY I'VE SWORN REVENGE!"

NojikoChabofishman officer

Inside a modest room, a man in a striped knit cap sits with his back turned, muttering, "I... I EVEN WENT TO ARLONG PARK...! THERE'RE MONSTERS THERE TOO!I" Nearby, the fish-man Chew sweats heavily while describing the scene: "THEY SAID THEY BROUGHT IT OVER FROM GRAND LINE. THOSE'RE THE TRACKS LEFT BEHIND BY THAT THING! IT'S UNIMAGINABLY HUGE! A HUGE MONSTER...!I SO THEN THOSE STRANGE DENTS ON THE GROUND WERE..." Nojiko listens with a serious expression, hand on her cheek. Chew continues angrily, "HOW DARE SHE GET IN MY WAY...! I WANNA KILL HER TOO...! BUT SOME FEMALE MEMBER OF THE ARLONG PIRATES STOPPED ME AT THE DOOR! SHE WAS LIKE A REAL WITCH!" Nojiko snaps back with a sharp glare, "SOME EXCELLENT REVENGE THAT IS! AS LONG AS YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO END UP DEAD, THEN FEEL FREE TO FIGHT! THEN GO AHEAD AND DIE." Chew spits out his drink in shock, "PFFT!"

NojikoChewUsopp

Nojiko continues her biting remarks while seated at the table: "AND THAT WITCH LADY AT ARLONG PARK INTERFERING, YOU'VE NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH TWICE! THANKS TO ME, BUT LET ME JUST SAY THIS ONE THING!" Usopp leans in angrily from the side, shouting, "HEY! HE'S JUST A LITTLE KID! ISN'T THAT GOING A BIT TOO FAR!I" Chew glares back, "I HATE NAIVE LITTLE BRATS LIKE YOU! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE ONCE YOU'RE DONE WITH THAT TEA." Nojiko turns away, replying calmly, "BECAUSE SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO A BETTER FUTURE...! I KNOW... OF A CERTAIN CHILD WHO CHOSE TO LIVE A PAINFUL LIFE FAR WORSE THAN DEATH..." Chew explodes in rage, "WHAT!I IT'S NOT LIKE THEY HAVE ANY DESIRE TO LIVE ON ANYWAYS! SO WHAT IF HE'S JUST A KID!I ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO DIE A DOG'S DEATH CAN GO AHEAD AND DIE FOR ALL I CARE!"

NojikoChewUsopp

Nojiko leans forward with a fierce, toothy grin, declaring, "WHO ONLY THINK ABOUT RUSHING TO THEIR DEATHS! THAT'S WHY I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE BRATS LIKE HIM." Usopp sits stunned at the table, sweat pouring down, thinking, "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THEN...I" Chew looks shaken, muttering, "WHAT... UUU..." Nojiko stands with her back turned as Usopp stares at the floor, tears welling, "SHE'S STILL ALIVE. WHAT ABOUT YOUR MOM...I IT'S SO... FRUSTRATING...!"

NojikoUsoppChew

Nojiko smiles gently at Usopp and says, "SO WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME TO YOUR MOMI THEN SHE MUST BE WORRIED." The scene shifts to a sunny tangerine grove outside a small house where Usopp stands looking toward the building. Inside, Usopp lounges with his feet on the table, explaining, "I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR NAMI BUT... AH THAT'S RIGHT. MY NAME'S CAPT. USOPP. WELL ISN'T THAT PREJUDICED OF YOU!I THOUGH I CAN'T SAY I KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOU... YOU'RE ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD PERSON, EVEN THOUGH YOU DO HAVE A TATTOO." Nojiko watches him quietly from across the room.

Two villagers discuss Nami in the background. "EVEN THAT KID TALKED ABOUT HER EARLIER, REMEMBERI SHE'S THE WITCH-WOMAN HE TALKED ABOUT." "YUP, SHE'S PRETTY INFAMOUS AROUND THESE PARTS." A shocked reaction follows as someone exclaims, "NAMI'S A MEMBER OF THE ARLONG PIRATES!I" "WHAT!I" Nojiko appears in close-up, smiling while resting her chin on her hand. "THAT WITCH AND I ARE FOSTER SISTERS." Another voice reacts, "WHAT!I" She continues, "MORE SURPRISING WOULD BE THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE HOUSE SHE GREW UP IN." The scene shifts to Arlong Park. Arlong grins menacingly and warns, "LET ME JUST WARN YOU BEFOREHAND THAT I AIN'T HARMLESS...!" With a loud roar of "ゴォォォォォォ", he commands from the ship, "OPEN THE GATES! I BROUGHT A SUSPICIOUS-LOOKING GUY!" The grand gates of Arlong Park stand open amid palm trees and the sea.

SBS corner hosted by a chibi character holding a sword. D: IN "MONKEY D. LUFFY," WHAT DOES THE D STAND FORI! IS IT "DONBURI" (A BOWL)I OR MAYBE "DAIBUTSU" (GIANT BUDDHA STATUE)I OR MAYBE...!!! I'M REALLY CURIOUS. PLEASE TELL ME. O: I'VE GOTTEN A RIDICULOUS NUMBER OF THESE LETTERS... SO MANY. BUT I CANNOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I CAN'T ANSWER IT YET... PLEASE JUST READ IT AS "D" AND DON'T THINK TOO DEEPLY INTO IT, FOR NOW. D: WHAT THE IS CONNECTION BETWEEN PIRATES AND RUMI WHY IS THAT EVERY BOOK MENTIONS PIRATES AND RUM TOGETHER IN THE SAME SENTENCEI O: IT'S NOT JUST PIRATES AND RUM, BUT SAILORS AND RUM. IN SHORT, RUM IS CHEAP. BECAUSE OF THAT, BACK IN THE SAILING DAYS OF ENGLAND, THE LIQUOR THEY SUPPLIED THE NAVY CHANGED FROM BRANDY TO RUM, AND THE IMAGE OF HARD-DRINKING MEN OF THE SEA BECAME ASSOCIATED WITH RUM. AS FOR WHY THEY WOULD TAKE SO MUCH LIQUOR, IT WAS BECAUSE THE WATER WOULD GO BAD ON LONGER VOYAGES. D: LAST NIGHT, I MET A GUY FROM THE PLANET GOMU GOMU. WHEN I ASKED HIM, "HOW FAR CAN YOU STRETCH YOUR ARMI" HE SAID "705 POISON GOMU GOMUS." HOW MUCH IS 705 POISON GOMU GOMUSI O: YOU MET SOMEONE FROM THE GOMU GOMU PLANETI! WOW!! THAT'S GREAT!! A "POISON GOMU GOMU" IS 10 TIMES AS MUCH AS A "GOMU GOMU," SO IN OTHER WORDS, 7,050 GOMU GOMUS!! THAT'S AN ASTRONOMICAL LENGTH!!! BUT BE CAREFUL. GOMU GOMUS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR GIVING THE MOST RIDICULOUS ANSWERS IN THE UNIVERSE.
