DO NOT USE FOR SCANLATION
[Why not for scanlation, you ask? Because this is the
only way I know how to support the sales for the One
Piece volumes. With both words and pictures available
on the same pages, it's too easy for many not to feel
obligated to buy the volumes.]
Ch.486 "Piano"
[That Person Right Now] SHOT 4 "Yokozuna
doesn't challege the sea train anymore"
<p.2>Hogback: Okay.
Hogback: Close it…..!!
Absalom: Is it all right? About Perona....!?
Hogback: Nothing can be done. We've searched for her but she's not here.
Hogback: ha.....okay!! Everything's good now. Remove invisibility!!
Hogback: The escape is a success, Fos fos.......!!
Absalom: ......man, my liver was cold to the very end. (means to be struck with terror)
Absalom: Why was "Violent-kun Kuma" at Thriller Bark anyways?
<p.3>Hogback: That's it, Absalom........!! As a matter of fact, before the zombies were purified...
Absalom: ...........
Hogback: I've heard it from Gyoro, Nin, and Bao, Moria-sama's three errand zombies (or messenger zombies). Kuma was here to inform us the name of the successor to former Shichibukai Crocodile..........
Hogback: But the important part is not there. The successor is a guy named Black Beard but what this guy did was some really nasty stuff!!
Hogback: Read this article.
Absalom: White Beard Pirates' 2nd Squadron Captain "Fire Fist Ace"....
Absalom: ....confined to the great prison "Inpel Down"...!!?
Hogback: Ace is famous for being White Beard's excellent subordinate.....the government just got hold of a tremendous card!!!
Absalom: That's for sure.
Hogback: Depending on the circumstances, it can develop into an event that can topple over the "Pirate Era"......!!!
Hogback: This isn't the time for Moria-sama to be toppled over here!!
Absalom: Well, I understand what you're trying to say, but, first......I want a wife.
Hogback: .........okay. Bring me a corpse that's your type.
Absalom: I don't want a zombie!!!
Absalom: I want a woman that's alive!!!
<p.4>[One day after crushing Moria]
Ussop: In the end, we've all slept for an entire day in that inner courtyard.
Franky: Well, we were battling all night long without any sleep.
Luffy: I'm hungry Sanji!!!
Sanji: Why don't you nibble on some cheese.
Luffy: I don't want cheese!! I don't move with cheese!!
Sanji: Then hurry up and bring all the necessary things for a meal to the inner courtyard. The lot from the Victim's Association probably doesn't want to move from there so that's where we're having our meal.
Ussop: Why are you doing so well!?
Ussop: That's certainly strange…..very odd...
Laura: I'm sorry for the trouble. It's just that everyone's so happy because we haven't seen the sun for many years.
Laura: They're all sunbathing with tears in their eyes.
Laura: Do you have enough food?
Sanji: Well, not only did our lot that was taken away from us has returned, but it came back with a mountain full of food, so we're all good!
Laura: I wonder who did that? There must be a real kind person here......
<p.5>Laura: To even load all this treasure for you...even if I had to step back a hundred steps (means to give in to an idea unwillingly) and said it was Christmas it would be too good to be true.
Nami: I'm so happy.
Luffy: Oh! A glass band. That's so cool. It's mine!!
Ussop: Hey, hey, if you reach out your hand to one of these treasures......
Ussop: R...right? Nami-san?
Nami: If that's what you want it's all right because it's not a jewel.
Ussop: Oh.....so is that how it works?
Nami: But I won't give you even one piece!!
Laura: I won't take anything away from our lifesaver's ship Namizou.
Nami: Eh?
Ussop: Oh!! An awesome knife!! .......but no good, it has jewellery on it.
Laura: Hm? It just came to my mouth and I just said it. Who's Namizou?
Laura: ........Now that I think about it, it is strange...for some reason, it doesn't feel like this is our first meeting......
Nami: Are you by some chance........Laura!?
Laura: .....that's right. Did I tell you my name?
Nami: Wow!! Is that true!? Laura!! I'm happy that we've met again!!
Ussop: L...Laura..hey, wait a minute, you mean this person was that wild boar zombie....
Laura: Hm?
Nami: heehee. You wouldn't know, right? I'll tell you everything afterwards!
<p.6>Nami: For now, here, please take this with you. It's my expression of gratitude.
Laura: Wha?? Are you sure!? Gratitude?
U+L: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
U+L: Nami gave treasure to others!!!
U+L: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Franky: I'm going ahead. Is this okay to bring!?
U+L: A storm's coming!!
Franky: Hm? Storm? Is that true!?
Rolling: Haaaaa.......I'm so happy........
Rolling: It feels like if the light is permeating through me.
Rolling: We're alive right now......!!
Franky: Heeeey, we brought food!!
Risky: Straw Hat.
Risky: Ahhh!! If you've only given the word, we have brought it for you.
Risky: We made our lifesaver do work!!
Luffy: Is Zoro awake yet?
Rolling: He's under complete bed rest....inside the mansion.
<p.7>Franky: I've even brought what was requested.
Luffy: Chopper!!
Chopper: Oh!! Thanks!!
Luffy: How's his condition?
Chopper: This is the first time I've seen Zoro take this much damage.
Chopper: Even his life was in serious danger......!!
Chopper: .....I wonder if something did happen while we were out?
Brook: ............
Robin: It certainly is hard to believe that that man would just leave as is under those circumstances.
Ussop: The fact that Luffy is more than fine also seems strange.......
Luffy: Even I don't understand that part. Nahahahaha.
<p.8>Risky Bro: As a matter of fact!! We saw what happened!!
Risky Bro: I saw it too, from beginning to end!!
Risky Bros: Let us tell you what happened at that time!!
Sanji: .........!!
Risky Bros: Apppft!!
Sanji: Come.
Luffy: Hm?
Luffy: Sanji?
Risky Bro: Hey, why!? You were so cool too!?
Risky Bro: To say a line like, "Instead of the swordsman, take my life".
Sanji: Shut up!!!
Sanji: Hurry up and tell me. What happened afterwards? After I lost consciousness.....
Risky Bro: This is again one of those Shichibukai's astonishing powers.
Risky Bro: He slapped Straw Hat with his paws and ejected out all of the "damage" Straw Hat has taken.
Sanji: Damage...........?
Risky Bro: It's like a lump of pain and agony!! Even that swordsman, after touching it just a little bit, screamed like something else...
<p.9>Sanji: ...........
Risky Bro: ...and that's the story.
Risky Bro: It's bad for me to say this but I thought that swordsman had lost his life.
Risky Bro: But that's why I've cried!
Risky Bro: I've seriously cried!!
Sanji: .....I see...........so that's why Luffy's fine and Zoro is like that.
Sanji: .....such an insane thing to do.....
Zoro: [[Nothing!! 'appened….....!!]]
Risky Bro: Okay!! Let's spread the tale of the Straw Hat Crew, a man's moving, impressive tale.
Sanji: Wait!!!
Sanji: Don't do anything so awkward!!
Sanji: He didn't gamble on his life to buy favours.
Sanji: Especially…..what position do you think Luffy would be in if he finds out that he hurt one of his crew because of his pain!!
<p.11>Rolling: Eh....ehhhhhhhhhhh!!?
Sanji: Do you want to tell everyone that much!!?
Sanji: As long as.........everyone's okay.....all right, let's eat.
Risky Bro: ........!! T...T..T...these guys are too cool....
Risky Bro: His captain must be so happy.
Robin: ............
Robin: I see.
Risky Bros: !
Luffy: Hey!! You two there!!
Luffy: Didn't you say something like you knew what happened? What did you see?
Risky Bro: Don't ask such awkward things.
Risky Bro: As long as........everyone's okay......
<p.11>Luffy: ?
Luffy: What was that?
Robin: Fufu.
Rolling: Grace!!!
Rolling: Deeeeelicious!!!
Rolling: I've never ate anything so yummy!!!
Rolling: When was the last time we had a proper meal!?
Rolling: I'm so glad I'm alive!!
Sanji: I've made lots!! Don't make me have leftovers!!!
Brook: To eat Cook-san's cookings again!! It tastes so good that, truly, it feels as if my cheeks would fall off.
Brook: But I!! Do not have any cheeks!!!
Franky: You! Eat in silence!!!
Rolling: Uhahahaha. What a funny skeleton.
<p.12>Brook: Yohohoho. I'm truly.....oh, pardon me!! Burp!! Eating so fully today and yesterday, I think I may have.......
Brook: Gotten fatter!!!
Rolling: Even though you're bones!!? Why don't you just shut up!!!
Rolling: Gahahahaha. That skeleton is the best!!
Rolling: What do you use to move!!?
Rolling: Ahhh, whatever, it doesn't matter!!
Brook: Come on.
Rolling: Dinner!!!
Franky: Oh, baby.
Rolling: Dinner!!!
Franky: Ah, yeah!!
Rolling: Dinner!!!
Chopper: We didn't even had our toast yet and yet they've already started partying like drunks.
Chopper: Even though it's so loud here, he won't even open his eyes...
Nami: He's usually the toughest man here....
Luffy: Hey Chopper, this...!!
Luffy: ...is Zoro's share!! Shishishi!!
Chopper: Luffy...
<p.13>Luffy: Here, drink up!!
Nami: Don't force him to drink!!!
Luffy: But Zoro likes alcohol so he'll get better!!!
Chopper: What kind of medicinal science is that!? That!!?
Luffy: ........how about meat?
Chopper: Okay, okay!! We'll just take your sincere feelings.
Brook: Pororon! (Sound of piano)
Brook: Now, how about a little BGM.... (Background music)
Luffy: ......Oh, did this room have a piano?
Sanji: Hey, I thought you've played the violin?
Brook: Yohohoho. I can play all of the musical instruments. Say.....I'm going back to our previous discussions but...
Brook: As a matter of fact, I "saw" it too....!! My heart was shaken from you two's actions....
Sanji: ................
Brook: It's nice to have friends.......!!
Sanji: ....don't say you two. I just exposed some stupidity on my part.
Brook: No....you too had the same firm determination.
Brook: How about....a tune? If you have any requests....
Sanji: Really?.....I can request anything?.....Well then....
Brook: "Ahhh, for Binks' sake to...."
Sanji: Weren't you seeking for a request just now!!?
<p.14>Robin: "Bink's Sake"......I thought I have heard this before, what a nostalgic song....
Risky: Huh, huh.
Luffy: Hey!! Brook!!
Luffy: I know this tune!!
Luffy: Shanks and them sang this song.
Brook: My past pirate crewmates all sang this song.
Brook: In the best of times, in the worst of times.....!! Yohohoho.
<p.15>Luffy: So you're going to be part of my crew, right? Right!?
Brook: ..................
Luffy: Your shadow came back too. Now you can go on a voyage now even if the sun hits you.
Brook: .......it's about that....
Brook: There was one thing.....I haven't said yet.....
Luffy: What's that?
Brook: I have a promise.......with my "crewmates". I first have to fulfill those promises or I.....wouldn't be able to stand as a man......!!
Luffy: Ahhhh.
Luffy: This is about Laboon, right? I know about it.
Franky: I've heard it from Franky and everyone!!
Brook: Eh....? Ahh.....that's right, "Laboon"....that was the name of this whale....
Brook: .....at this cape....
<p.16>Luffy: Didn't I tell you before Brook? We've met with Laboon at the Twin Capes, I'm telling you the truth!!
Brook: ..........eh?
Rolling: Hmmm!? Hey what happened skeleton!? The piano's tempo has fallen!!
Luffy: We knew about that Laboon was waiting for the return of his friends for 50 years.
Luffy: That's why I was surprised!! When I found out that one of the survivors of the pirates he was waiting for.....
Luffy: ....was you.....!!
Luffy: And you still remember that promise you've made.
Luffy: If he hears of this, I bet Laboon will be very happy!!! Shishishi!!
Brook: ......Pl...please wait a minute!!
Brook: Yohoho...!! I'm so surprised.....!! It's so sudden.
Brook: Did you really....!? Met Laboon!?
Luffy: Yep.
Brook: Even though it has been 50 years...!?
<p.17>Brook: Is he still....!!? Waiting for us at that cape!? Laboon.....!!?
Brook: Is this true.......?
Luffy: Yep.
Sanji: We're witnesses too!! We've definitely met him.
Ussop: Yeah.
Brook: !
Brook: ......!! How is he doing.....?
Luffy: He's doing fine.
Brook: He must have.....grown.....
Luffy: He's like a mountain.
Brook: Yohoho.......I would like to see.....when we've parted ways.....he was only about the size of a small row boat. He was really cute.
Brook: He was a little bad obedience wise, but he loved music and was a good child....
Brook: Even now....when I close my eyelids I see him....
Brook: Ah....I don't have eyelids.
Brook: It floats.....in my head.
Brook: Bang! (hitting the piano hard)
Brook: ...........!!!
<p.18>Brook: I see........!!!
Brook: So he's doing very fine..........!!!
Brook: Waaaaaaaah.......!!!
Rolling: Hey, what happened skeleton? Play the piano for us!!
Brook: I've never been happier than today....
Pirates: [[What's the deal with this whale?]]
Pirates: [[He's following the ship.]]
Pirates: He probably lost his group….the poor thing. The ocean is huge.......!!
Pirates: His face looks so sad. He's still a child.
Laboon: Pooooh...
<p.19>Brook: Captain Yohki!! How about a tune!?
Yohki: Brook!! That's a great idea. Hey everyone, grab an intrument!!
Brook: Yohohoho. We're the Rumba Pirates that can make any crying child laugh. Let's show him our skills!!
Rumbas: Okay!!
Laboon: ?
Brook: "One, two, three, four"
Laboon: ...........
Laboon: Pooooh....!!</p.19></p.18></p.17></p.16></p.15></p.14></p.13></p.12></p.11></p.11></p.9></p.8></p.7></p.6></p.5></p.4></p.3></p.2>
