The Going Merry sails across open sea. Top panel shows distant ship with sound effects “トンテンカン” and “Sheesh!”. Below deck, Usopp hammers repairs while a small girl watches. Usopp says, “Maybe it’s time we got a new oneI” A voice replies, “This ship’s going to tatters before I even realized it…” Usopp shouts, “He’s gone and banged up this ship even more! TO HELL WITH THAT ORANGUTAN!” Chopper yells, “THAT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY, YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!” Luffy falls from above yelling “GOD DAMN IT, LUFFY!” Usopp sniffles, “Luffy… Sniff! You really are a…” Luffy grins while holding a piece of wood and says, “So let’s give it our all and fix her up as best as possible! The Going Merry’s still an irreplaceable member in our crew. Oh well, what’s done is done, Usopp!”

Map inset shows Eastern Coast of Jaya with Mocktown marked. The Going Merry approaches the shore. Someone asks, “Umm… Who is it that we’re looking for againI” A crew member answers, “Well, we’ve arrived at the place marked in the map.” Luffy, Usopp, Nami, and Nico Robin stare in shock. Luffy yells “HOLY MOLY!” Usopp shouts “WHOA-”. Nami says, “…So the man who talks of dreams lives thereI” Robin states, “Montblanc Cricket.”

A massive striped castle-like structure towers over the water with a small ship docked in front. Someone exclaims, "Whoa, maybe he's like, super duper richI" Another voice shouts, "THAT'S his HOUSE!I" Below, Chopper stares upward in shock and asks, "What do you meanI" Sanji replies with a cigarette in his mouth, "He sure does 'dream big.' Well, for a dreamer," while Zoro narrows his eyes and snaps, "Look again, you dimwits."

Luffy stares in shock at a half-collapsed wooden tower as a massive impact sends debris flying; he yells "WHAAAAA!I" while someone shouts "IT'S JUST A WOODEN BOARD!" and "AGHH!" A monkey-like figure gapes nearby. Sanji stands with a pipe and remarks, "Must be a pretty cheap guy." He adds, "Only half is an actual house... The other half's just a veneer panel." Nami explains, "There's a vast amount of gold hidden in this island of Jaya." "Supposedly," Robin replies. She continues, "I don't know the details, but..." while the monkey-like figure asks, "Just what sort of dreams was he talking about that got him run out of townI"

The crew gathers near the shore. Someone asks, "DID SOME PIRATES BURY TREASURE HERE OR SOMETHING!I" while another wonders, "GOLDI" Chopper questions, "Who knows...I" Usopp yells, "WHAT, YOU'RE JUST BARGING IN!I" Luffy calls out, "Helloooo!I Anybody homeI I'm coming in!" Sanji notes, "So he lives alone all the way out here on the island's edgeI" Nami gasps, "HERE!I REALLY!I" and Usopp shouts, "START DIGGING, CHOPPER! THERE'S GOLD HERE!" Inside the ruined building Luffy yells, "HELLO OOO!I" while Nami warns, "Luffy, no! What're you gonna do if this guy's dangerous!I" Sanji observes, "HimI I don't see anyone inside..."

Nami holds up an old book and reads, "It's titled, 'Noland the Liar.'" Luffy laughs, "Ahahaha. Ohhh! Nice title! I like the subject!" Usopp adds, "A picture book... Looks like a pretty old one, too." Nami suddenly realizes, "Guys! He's not home!" Sanji smiles and says, "Yeah, I was born in North Blue." Nami asks, "But the book says it was published in North Blue. You know it, SanjiI" Sanji replies, "Man, that takes me back. I used to read that a lot back when I was a kid." Nami questions, "Did you say, 'Noland the LiarI'" Sanji answers, "Did I never say so beforeI" The group discusses further: "It's labelled as a fairy-tale, but the Noland character of this story was actually a real-life person, or so I've heard." "This is a famous story in North Blue." "No, I was only raised in East Blue, but whatever." Chopper protests, "Chopper, stop making so much noise! What're you even doing anyways!I" Usopp states, "First I've heard. I thought you were from East Blue."

A hand holds open an ornate storybook titled "Noland the Liar" by Montblanc Noland. Narration reads: "This is a story from long, long ago." Another box states: "A story from over 400 years from now..." Someone murmurs, "Hm..." The tale begins: "There lived a man named Montblanc Noland. In a certain kingdom in North Blue." Noland stands before a crowd with arms raised, surrounded by townspeople who doubt his wild stories. Narration explains: "The townspeople had no idea whether Noland's tales were truth or fiction. Noland the explorer was always speaking of his 'great' adventures so grand and unbelievable that they seemed like lies."

Montblanc Nolandtownspeople

Noland reports to the king at a grand castle: "Noland reported to the king thus." One day, returning from another voyage, he claims an island in the Grand Line holds a pile of gold stacked as high as the mountains. To verify, the brave king takes 2000 soldiers. Narration continues: "On his way, he battled many sea monsters and overcame fierce storms. And sailed for the Grand Line."

Montblanc Nolandking

The king arrives at a jungle island with only 100 soldiers left. Narration states: "But facing the king was only a jungle. By the time the king arrived at the island, he only had 100 soldiers remaining." Noland is executed for lying. His final words before death: "That's it! The mountains of gold must have sunk into the sea!" The narration concludes: "Nobody believed in Noland anymore. Even to the very moment of his death, Noland could not stop lying. 'Noland the Liar,' collected from Northern Folk Tales. The king and the people were dumbfounded by his brazenness."

In Mocktown, locals laugh uproariously. "HAHAHAHAHA!" A long-haired man with sunglasses asks, "Is the descendant of Montblanc Noland!I" Another replies, "Yeah, as kids from North Blue, we all had adults tell us more than a few times that we'd end up executed if we kept lying!" A spiky-haired man with a scar grins and says, "Now that's a name I heard a lot from my childhood. There ain't a single person from North Blue who doesn't know of Noland the Liar." Inside a bar, patrons roar with laughter: "To think that Jaya was the famous island from the story! Things are gettin' even more interesting! HAHAHA!"

Inside a dimly lit wooden building, a group of pirates and locals discuss a descendant who arrived on the island. One figure reads from a paper and says, "Came to this very island in search of the fabled gold," while another adds, "In order to clear up his ancestor's reputation...!I" A hooded man concludes, "So 400 years after, this descendant of Noland the Liar." The room erupts in laughter as a spiky-haired man slams the table, roaring "HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA! THAT'S ONE HELL OF A FAMILY LINE! HAHAHA!" A close-up shows the same man with mouth wide open, eyes squeezed shut, shouting "THAT FOUR CENTURIES OF SHAME AND MOCKERY WOULD SUDDENLY JUST UP AND DISAPPEAR!I DOES HE THINK IF HE CAN FIND EVEN A SPECK OF GOLD, HAHAHAHA! WHAT A FOOL!" while impact lines and sweat drops emphasize the mocking reaction.

On a sunny beach, Luffy sits alone on a rock with his hat pulled low, bubbles rising from the water as he thinks, "And so the liar. Very pitifully. Met his end... Without even becoming. A brave warrior of the seas..." Suddenly a masked figure with a cannon-like weapon lunges at Nami, who spins around in surprise. The attacker yells "AGHHHHH! WHAT'RE YOU LOOKIN' AT ME FOR!I" while firing, the impact sending Luffy flying backward with a loud "SHUT..." Nami reacts in shock as Luffy plummets off the cliff into the ocean below. From the trees, voices shout "JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE!I" and "W-what do you think you're doin'!I!" as Nami gasps "Luffy fell into the ocean! What!I"

A muscular, shirtless man with a "MAROON" tattoo and rope belt leaps forward, fist cocked, as Sanji shouts from behind, "USOPP! GET LUFFY OUTTA THE WATER!" The man declares, "The seas around here are my territory." A sign identifies him: "Last Boss Of the "Saruyama Alliance" Montblanc Cricket." He swings a powerful punch while yelling, "You've got some guts barging in another man's house and making yourself at home." In a close-up, Cricket glares upward with sweat drops and declares, "OVER MY DEAD BODY, YOU WILL... YOU'VE COME FOR MY GOLD, HAVEN'T YOUI"

Montblanc Cricket delivers a devastating punch that sends Sanji flying backward with a massive impact "GLONK" and a startled "WHOA-". Cricket follows through with another strike, his body twisting as Sanji is hurled across the panel amid speed lines and "AH-". In the next beat, Cricket lands on one knee, breathing heavily with sweat flying, while Sanji lies dazed on the ground. A final close-up shows Sanji's bruised, bloodied face with swirling eyes and gritted teeth as Cricket looms over him with a fierce glare and motion lines.

Sanji clashes fiercely with a massive, shirtless fighter bearing a 'MAROON' tattoo on his arm. The blond cook delivers a powerful spinning kick that connects squarely with the man's chest, sending shockwaves through the air amid bold impact SFX. Close-ups capture Sanji's intense glare and gritted teeth as the larger opponent snarls back with equal ferocity. In the final panel the tattooed fighter is hurled backward by a devastating follow-up strike, his body twisting violently as he screams 'AGHHHH!' while massive black impact letters explode across the page.

Sanji stands firm after the exchange, declaring 'It didn't hit me!' and reassuring someone with 'Don't worry.' Nami cries out in alarm, 'SANJI!' while the tattooed fighter also shouts 'SANJI! GAHHH!' The cook retorts, 'That's what you get for underestimating him, you dumbass...' and demands, 'JUST GIMME A LIL' LONGER TO FINISH HIM OFF!' A massive leg swing follows with heavy impact SFX, though the fighter mutters 'BUT...' In the closing panel Sanji's eyes narrow sharply as he utters 'Hm!I'

On a grassy shore, a long-nosed man with goggles recounts leaning in for a closer look at a chestnut when bubbles suddenly appeared from below, coughing as he explains the startling event. Nearby, a tall figure in a dark suit asks the prone old man, 'Just what were you doingI' The old man lies exhausted on the sand, huffing for breath. Inside a stone-walled room the group gathers around the bedridden elder. A woman notes the illness occasionally affects divers, while another asks if it is the old man's sickness. The suited man suggests cooling a towel and opening windows as they discuss the diver's disease.

Luffy listens wide-eyed as the cause of the illness is explained: sudden pressure drops when rising from deep water destabilize dissolved gases, forming painful bubbles in the body. He remarks, 'Oh, so it's sort of a magic disease.' A close-up shows the unconscious old man, Mont Blanc Cricket, with the group wondering what drove him to dive so frequently. The two massive brothers, Masira and Shoujou, burst into laughter; one admits, 'I don't know... but it's very dangerous,' while the other warns, 'Diver's disease can even lead to death.'

The SBS Q&A Corner header shows Chopper in a pirate hat drinking from a cup, with bubbles spelling out 'SBS'. D announces: 'Boys and girls across the nation, come together!! Let's see, who's gonna do the title call todayI Aha, how about youI Eiichirou-kun!! HuhI WhatI You want everyone to say it with youI Okay!! Good idea!! Alright everyone, let's all shout it out together on the count of three... two... START THE SBS!! (now everyone got to do it equally!)'. O replies with a loud scream: 'SPLRAAAAAAAH!! AAAAAAAH!! AAAAAAAAAH!! I bit my tongue. Darn it, I lost my chance!'. A question from Miss White Day asks about an earring on a sea cat in volume 18 page 28. Oda answers: 'Ummm. That is "ear hair (mimige)." On a related note, everyone, try saying this three times fast. "Migimimi Migime Migime Migimimi" (Right Ear, Right Eye, Right Eye, Right Ear). Hard, isn't itI'. Another question suggests February 6th as Nico Robin's birthday. Oda replies: 'Ah, yes, I like the sound of that.' A small drawing of a wide-eyed cat character appears beside the answers.
