[Insert text: In the midst of a calm ocean…]
[Box: The Calm Belt]
SeaKing: RRRRAAAAGGGGHHH…!!!
People: ?! // ...Take a look at that! It's a gigantic Sea King!! // What's going on?! Is it fighting with something?!
[Box: Isle of Women Bay]
People: It's dead!! Something just killed that thing…!! // A monster of that size...?!! // I couldn't see what it was fighting... // This is one terrifying ocean...!!
People: ?! // Wha...?! // A man?!! // Hey...!! Who are you?!!!
Rayleigh: Dear me...
! 3
Rayleigh: Ah, I know you people... we met at the Shabondy Archipelago.
People: Whaaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~~?! // Dark King Rayleigh!!!
Rayleigh: Well, you see... I ran into a nasty storm out at sea. My boat sank, so I had to swim the rest of the way. / My body doesn't move the way it used to... I really am getting old.
People: A storm?! There are no storms in the Calm Belt..! Which means... your boat sank outside the Calm Belt, and you actually swam all this way?! // Then... the one who was fighting with that Sea King... // Was that you as well......?!!!
Rayleigh: Mm... Now then.
Law: ...............?
Rayleigh: I'm guessing that Luffy-kun is somewhere to be found on this island?
Law: ?!!

[Box: Centre of the Island: Land of Women, Amazon Lily]
People: Hey, did you hear? // Looks like Hebihime-sama has just gone out to deliver some food to Luffy! // I want to stretch Luffy again~~!
Margaret: I hear they'll be allowing him back into the country once his wounds are healed!
Sweetpea: "We Cannot Wait"!!
Aphelandra: I can hardly believe we're going to see him again so soon~~~!
Margaret: Ahaha! I know, right? // Maybe I should make him some more clothes! Without frills, of course!
Nyon: As I keep telling you, Hebihime… / Just because the boy embraced you... / ...does nyot mean that you are married!
Hebihime: ...Then what does one need to do to become married?!
Nyon: Hmmmmm… That's a difficult question.........
! 5
Luffy: Whaaaaaaa~~~~?!! // Old man Rayleigh?!!
Rayleigh: Ah! Luffy-kun. It's good to see you again.
Luffy: What are you doing all the way out here?? / I was just about head back out to the Shabondy Archipelago by following the Vivre Card! // Where are the others?!
Jimbei: ..................
Rayleigh: Well, I doubt they have all been reunited just yet... // I left my own Vivre Card with Shakkie. // I could hardly move about freely otherwise, you see......
Jimbei: "Dark King" Rayleigh......... Are you truly him......?!! I am astonished!
! 6
Rayleigh: Here... this hat means a lot to you, yes?
Luffy: Yeah... Thanks.
Jimbei: Were there not a group of other pirates here?
Rayleigh: If you mean Trafalgar Law, he set sail just a short while ago. He told me to tell you to make sure you rest for another two weeks......
Luffy: !
Rayleigh: Looks like your life is out of danger.
Pirates: Ahh, it's such a shame... After going all that way... // It would've been great to be able to actually go inside...! The Land of Women...!
Bepo: If only they were bears...
Pirates: You stay out of this!!
Law: Still, I wonder what the Dark King's up to...... The "D" will always bring a storm without fail...... Heheh...
Nyon: Hmm?!! // Rayleigh?!! Is that... // Is that you, Rayleigh?!
Rayleigh: Ah... Gloriosa! This certainly brings back memories!
! 7
Marigold: Ray-san?!!
Sandersonia: Rayleigh?!!
Rayleigh: Ahh, you girls as well...!!
Hancock: Luffy!!!
Marigold: Hold on, Sister!! Is that how you act in front of the man we owe so much?!
Luffy: ...So you guys know old man Rayleigh?!!
Hancock: Luffy... you have finally opened your eyes! I was so worried, I could not sleep at night......!! / Y... You must be so very hungry. I have brought food for you. Please, eat to your heart's content...!!
Nyon: You cannyot even look him in the eye, and you speak of marriage...?
Jimbei: !
[SFX: rumble]
Hancock: Jimbei…!! I did not prepare this food for you...!!!
Jimbei: ...I only want a little...!! // Luffy-kun...... You should eat up!!
Luffy: ...............!!
Jimbei: For to eat... is to live!!!
Luffy: ........................!! // ...............!!!
! 8
Nyon: Hmm... A letter from Shakkie... // You have my thanks for delivering it...... // It would seem that she has nyot changed one bit.
Rayleigh: Indeed... She is just the same as back when we all lived together on Shabondy. / Healthy and happy. / As for you girls, you have grown to be more beautiful and strong than I could ever have imagined those thirteen years ago.
Sandersonia: Rayleigh... Shakkie... Elder Nyon... We are only here today thanks to the kindness the three of you showed back then, taking us in as we fled the Tenryuubito.
Nyon: ...Still, friend of Luffy though you may be... / ...as one responsible for keeping Luffy hidden from the Marines, it troubles me to think that anyone would be able to deduce his location so easily.
Hancock: Oh?! How nostalgic!! // Could it possibly be... Rayleigh?!!
Nyon: So slow!!! Just how preoccupied were you?!!!
Rayleigh: Hahah... No, I doubt the Marines will have any idea that Luffy-kun is here.
! 9
Rayleigh: I was informed of the direction in which Luffy had been propelled... / ...by the very man responsible for sending him here. It was investigating this direction that drew my attention to the Isle of Women.
Nyon: ?
Flashback!Kuma: I am one of the leading members of the Revolutionary Army. / I have my reasons for wishing to help this crew escape this place. // I apologise for acting suddenly and without proper explanation. // Please allow me to speak with you a little... // I do not have much time left...
Flashback!Rayleigh: ?!
Rayleigh: After collecting all the information I could find about the great battle, and making the appropriate calculations.. / I found that Hancock's route to the battle coincided with Luffy's own. / However, my deductions stopped there... I could not imagine that Hancock, who so hates both the Government and men... / ...would ever have boarded a Government ship with a male companion.
Flashback!Shakkie: What if Hancock had fallen in love with Monkey-chan, though...? Wouldn't that make everything add up? // There is a lot to like about him, you know!
! 10
Flashback!Shakkie: And if I were in her position, I daresay I would deceive the Government... / ...and conceal him on the Isle of Women...
Flashback!Rayleigh: Hahah... That's an awfully subjective bit of speculation, Shakkie.
Rayleigh: I must never underestimate a woman's intuition.
Sandersonia: That's Shakkie for you!
Nyon: She was absolutely correct... that is precisely how it happened!!
Rayleigh: I hardly think the Marines will move on the basis of such idle speculation. This place is still safe. // Now, shall we get down to business? / .................. // Luffy-kun...
Luffy: ?!
Rayleigh: You said that you intend to head to Shabondy from here, yes?
Luffy: Uh-huh. // I have to meet up with my crew!!
! 11
Rayleigh: Are you absolutely certain about that?
Luffy: ?!
Rayleigh: I am sure you remember what happened to you all on that island.
Luffy: !
Flashback!Luffy: Everyone!!! Getting out of here is all that matters right now!!! // We can't possibly beat these guys!!!
Luffy: ..................!!
Rayleigh: Do you want to meet up with your friends... only to have that happen again?
Luffy: ...............!!
Rayleigh: I have a proposal for you. // Naturally, it is entirely up to you... // ...whether to accept it or not.
! 12
[Box: This is the Boin Archipelago, in the Grand Line.]
Heraclesun: Wait right thereun!! // Usoppun!!~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! / Hissatsu…...............!!
[Box: And right now, thanks to the rich foods of this land's forest, Usopp has…]
Usopp: Don't stop me, Heraclesun!!

Heraclesun: It doesn't matter how many times you tryun! The result will be the sameun!!
Usopp: I wouldn't keep doing it if that were the case!! / This time, I'm gonna do it!!! // !!
Beetle: RRRRAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!
Usopp: So you show yourself! // Get out of my way

Heraclesun: Are you all rightun?! / Usoppun!!
Usopp: Uuurghhh... Damn it......!!
Heraclesun: Do not strain yourself so... The more you try to escape this island...
[Label: You Are Here]
Heraclesun: …the more the powerful beasts that dwell here will block your path and force you back into the forest's depthsun!! // They will not harm those who attempt to enter the island from withoutun... // But once they are inside... there is none who can escape this island aliveun!! / And my name... is Heraclesun!! // Hm?!! Usoppun?! Where have you goneun?! // ?!! // Oh, noun!!! // An ocean beasts has landed on the island shore!! // Usoppun is in dangerun!!!
[Box: Drawn by the sweet scent that wafts from the entire Boin Archipelago…]
! 14
[Box: …Gigantic insects and birds...]
Uropp: It's a sea hippo!!!
[Box: …or even mighty ocean creatures and Sea Kings... // ...are lured by the ever-intensifying scent... // ...to the very centre of the islands... / ...where they find a forest of temptation, filled with all kinds of food. // To enter is simple, but to leave far from it......!!!]
Usopp: I'm getting off this island!! // So stay out of my way!!!
Heraclesun: Usoppun!! The island is about to move~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
! 15
Heraclesun: Usoppun!! Hold on to a tree!! // The island is about to begin its meal!!!
[Box: These mighty flower that float upon the ocean like islands…]
Usopp: Aaaaaghhhhhhhhhh!!! // Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
SeaHippo: RRRRRRUOOOOOOGGGHHHHH!!!
[Box: Some call them the Boin Archipelago… / ...but their true name is the carnivorous plant, "Stomach Baron".]
! 16
Heraclesun: USOPPU~~?!!!!N!!
Usopp: !! // pant // pant
Heraclesun: Whatever is the matterun, Usoppon?!! // Ever since you read the newspaper that the News Coo delivered here, you have been like a different man!!!
Usopp: …............!! // ......!! I... // I don't have the time to waste hanging around in this place...!! // Luffy just lost his brother... in the war.........!!! // How much pain must he be going through right now?!!! // If I'm not there for him when he's in pain... // ...how can I call myself his friend
! 17
[Box: Meanwhile, in the land where Chopper finds himself, the Torino Kingdom…]
Tribesmen: You leaving, Tanukichi~~~? / Just when we'd all got to be friends…
Birds: CAW~~~~~ // CAW~~~~~~!!!
Chopper: Uh-huh...!! I have to get back as soon as possible! / I just read in the newspaper that something terrible's happened to a friend of mine! // (I can't believe that a thing like that could happen to Luffy's brother, the guy who we all met back in Alabasta...!) // I have to find him right away... / ...so that I can at least heal his wounds... I'm sure he's been pushing himself way too far again...!! // It's great that you guys and the birds have managed to clear up your misunderstandings!
Tribesmen: Only 'cause you put your life on the line to convince them, Tanukichi!
Chopper: Eheheh... You guys too - make sure you get along with the humans from now on, okay?!
Birds: CAW~~~~~!!
Chopper: All the humans here want is the huge variety of plants... / ...that grow on that big tree you live in!!
! 18
Tribesman: Dat's right! We're not after your eggs, and we're not gonna harm you!! / We're not like the humans dat chased you out of your home!!
Chopper: Ehehe...! Well then, guys... // Good luck!
Tribesmen: Yeah~~!! Tanukichi~~~!! You'd better come see us again~~~~~!!
Birds: CAW~~~ CAW~~~~!!
Chopper: Whooooaa~~~~!! We're so high up~~~~~!! // And this is so fast, too!! At this rate, I'll be back with the others in no time!
! 19
Chopper: Hey there, News Coo!! Can I have a newspaper?!!
NewsCoo: Coo~??
Chopper: This packed lunch is... tasty, too... / They'll probably have got all the information on the war sorted out by now, huh... // !! // Whaaaaaa~~~?!! No way...!!
Bird: CAW~?!
Chopper: ...?!! But why?? ......?!! What's going on?? // Luffy...?!! // Why has he.........?!!
