One Piece Chapter 21, page 13: VILLAGE

Back in the village, Mayor Boodle slowly wakes up, rubbing his head. The villagers gather around him, saying, "AAH! CHIEF, YOU'RE AWAKE! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE ALRIGHT!! JUST WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED, CHIEF?!" Boodle groans, "YEAH..." The villagers explain, "WHEN WE CAME IT WAS ALREADY LIKE THIS. DID YOU SEE ANYTHING?" Boodle looks thoughtful, remembering Luffy, and mutters, "THOSE KIDS..." Another villager with glasses says, "AH! UNTIL JUST A WHILE AGO THESE THREE WEIRD GUYS WERE... WERE THOSE KIDS STILL ALIVE...!!?"
