One Piece Chapter 22 Part 9 — Gaimon Guards the Island of Rare Animals

- Pages: 23-26 - Characters: Nami ### Summary On pages 23–26, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami reach a strange island where Gaimon and the rare animals guard a lonely mystery. The crew’s lighthearted exploration turns into a small fable about treasure, isolation, and the life Gaimon built after being trapped on the island. This part works as a pause between major arcs, showing that the sea contains strange lives and unusual dreams beyond simple battles. ### Key dialogue Nami: Quick! Drop them here! Nami: But don't hit me! Nami: WAHAHaha- haha! Nami: No way! Nami: What? Nami: What the hell are you talking about?
