[box: Shabondy Archipelago, Grove 41]
[insert text: After the brutal fight...]
Duval: Hmm...
Riders: Duval-sama... Young Master Strawhat and his friends certainly are late... // I wonder if they've been held up by their pursuers... // I hear there's a real ruckus over by the port.
Duval: ...All the more reason for us to stay alert!! / We don't want some idiot running away with this ship in the commotion! // We must guard it impeccably until the Coating mechanic gets here!!! / Rosy-Life Riders!!!
Riders: Yes, Duvasome!!

[box: Grove 1, Auction House]
Shalulia: You say they still have yet to be captured?!!
Marines: Admiral Kizaru-dono is pursuing them as we speak, so their capture is essentially inevitable!! / If you would just wait -
Shalulia: Miserable, brainless dogs!! // On top of doing this to my father and my brother...!!
Marines: :...............!!
Shalulia: ...They even had the gall to free all of our slaves......!! // Do they not have the slightest respect... // ...for the blood of this world's Creator?!!! // Oh, when they are caught, I shall make them crawl to me begging forgiveness...... // I shall show them Hell on Earth!!!

[box: Grove 13, Shakkie's Rip-Off Bar]
Caimie: Oh, I'm so worried.........!! / Will Luffy-chin and the others be all right...?
Pappagg: What's wrong with you, Caimie?!! / You shouldn't say depressing stuff like that!!
Caimie: .........
Hacchan: Nyuuu~~ Those guys are strong. / You don't have to worry about them, Caimie.
Shakkie: That's all very well... // But they're up against an Admiral, you know. They can't beat him with pure strength...
Hacchan: Nyu?!
Shakkie: The seas ahead are dark and stormy... / A wave like none seen before is approaching...... // And they must not lose to that wave...... // ...Listen... can you hear it......?

5
Caimie: What?
Shakkie: This age is slowly beginning to move...

6
[box: Meanwhile... having been vanished from the Shabondy Archipelago by Bartholemew Kuma... / ...Monkey D Luffy was.........]
Luffy: DAMMITALL~~~~~~!!! / *pant* // ............!! WHERE DID EVERYBODY VANISH TO~~~~~~~~~~~~~?!!! // I'LL NEVER FORGIVE THAT STUPID BEAR-FACED SHICHIBUKAI!!! / *pant* // ...Anyway, just exactly... / ...how far am I gonna keep flying?!!! // ......... / *pant* / *pant*... // ......Huh? / Wait a minute... Maybe everyone didn't just disappear... they were all sent flying like this...?

7
Luffy: *pant* / ZORO~~~~~~!! / NAMI~~~!! USOPP~~~~~~! / SANJI~~~~~~~!! / *pant* // CHOPPER~~~~~~~~~~!! / ROBI~~~~~~~~N!! / FRANKY~~~~~~~~!! BROOKE~~~~~~~~~~~!! // WHERE DID YOU SEND ALL MY NAKAMA?!!! // ...Y'know, if I fall into the sea, I'm gonna die...

8
Luffy: ?!! // Unghh!

9
Luffy: .................. // .................. // Hm? // .........I'm alive......!!

10
Luffy: And it looks like I'm not just alive 'cause I'm made of rubber, either... / What's with this weird pawprint thing............? // I hope everyone else is all right as well...... // .........Anyway, I've gotta get back......!! / Where is this place......? Where's the Shabondy Archipelago...? // Oh! // Of course... // I've got this Vivre Card!! That's great!! We've all got them!! / Whe~~~~w... All right! First things first!! Time to head back!! // That way we'll all be able to find each other again!!! // That way, huh...
[TN: I'm slightly worried about the concept of Zoro finding his way back on his own, even with a Vivre Card...]

11
Luffy: *pant* / *pant* // HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Flashback!Luffy: As we are right now... / ...We can't possibly beat these guys!!
Luffy: ...............!! // *pant*!! *pant*!!
Flashback!Luffy: EVERYBODY GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!!!
Flashback!Nami: Luffy, help me...!
Flashback!Luffy: I couldn't even save... / ...a single nakama...!!!
Luffy: NGAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! // Owwwwwwww!!! // *pant*... *pant*... Well... not that it actually hurt, but... / What's this...?!! Damn... a dead-end.........?!! // ...But the Card says I've gotta keep going straight ahead...!

12
Luffy: GIGANT PISTOL!!!! // Ugh...... No use......... I've got no strength left... // Man, I'm hungry... // Sanji, food~~~~~!! ......Not that he's here, huh... // Hm?

13
Luffy: Whew, I'm stuffed~!! // Ahhh... This really takes me back~~~~~~~ // It's just like that jungle Grandpa threw me into when I was a kid... // ......I really don't want to think about that...... // Hey! Isn't this a "Laughing Shroom"? // All right! That's just what I need at a time like this! // Ahahahahahahah!! // Now I'm having fun, ahahahahah! // Even though there's no-one else here... // Ooh! There's a weird mushroom growing over here too! / *munch*!! // Huh? I feel kind of... angry!! / GRAAAAAAGHHH!!! // *pant*... *pant*... Laughing Shroom, Laughing Shroom... *munch*!! / Ahahahahahahahah!! // Ooh, there's another weird mushroom over here!

14
Sweetpea: Margaret!!
Margaret: What is it......?!
Sweetpea: What is this...? // "What Exactly Might This Be?"
[TN: She has a habit of saying things ending in "〜の巻" ("...no maki"), literally "Volume of..."; she's basically spouting "titles" for the situation at hand. Doesn't translate too well, but eh.]
Margaret: ......Wh...... What on Earth?!! Why, it seems to be a human!!
Sweetpea: Somebody from the village?
Margaret: I can't tell... not with all these mushrooms everywhere... // .........It's this!! // Look, this mushroom was lying half-eaten just here! / The "Mushrooms Growing Out Of Your Body Shroom"! // If you eat one of these, then mushrooms grow out of your body!! This is bad!!

15
Margaret: If we don't do something, the mushrooms will suck out all of this poor child's energy... it will be fatal!
Sweetpea: "A Race Against Time"...
Margaret: Aphelandra! We have to take this child back to the village!
Aphelandra: Oka~~y!
Sweetpea: "Taking The Child Back To The Village"!
Margaret: And quickly!!

16
People: Emergency~!! // Oh, dear, whatever has happened here...?!! The mushrooms are everywhere!! // Who is this child?! // Is the poor thing alive?
Belladonna: They can be removed by hand, so just pluck them all off!
Margaret: It's true! But they leave these little stubs behind...
Belladonna: Those can just be burned off afterwards.
Someone: This certainly is a strange one you've found, Margaret......

17
Luffy: Aaaaaaaghhhhhhh!! // HOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTT!!!
Margaret: Belladonna...!! Isn't this a little excessive...?!
Belladonna: If we do not burn them, they will simply grow back.
Margaret: ......And the poor thing has lost consciousness again......
Belladonna: ......Oddly enough, it seems this child's body was covered in wounds even before the mushrooms took root.
Margaret: Really?
Belladonna: Yes, like wounds from some terrible battle... We must treat them. // I'm sorry, Margaret, but could you go and wash the child's body in the river?
Margaret: So it looks like she wasn't from the village after all, Sweetpea...
Sweetpea: Hmm? What's this? It looks like there's still a mushroom left down here. / We must have missed it, stuck down here between the legs... // "One Was Overlooked"...

18
Margaret: But doesn't this one look a little different from the others? Such a strange shape...
Sweetpea: Nnnnnngh~~~~~!! It won't come off!! Huh??! It just... stretches!!
People: How long are you people going to stand there staring? This isn't some kind of show! // You're watching too, aren't you?! / Look! It seems they've run into a problem! // This child really is flat-chested... / She looks kind of "angular"...
Nyon: Nyow then, nyow then... // What have we here?
Margaret: Oh - Elder Nyon! One of the mushrooms on this child's body won't seem to come off!
Nyon: Let's see, nyow... // Who exactly is... // But... nyo...! / Th... This child is...!! // Why, it's a "man"!!!

19
People: WHAAAAAAAAT?!!!
Margaret: This is a... a MAN?!! I've never seen one!!
[box: For this land was home to the "Kuja", a tribe of female warriors...]
[TN: "Kuja", by the kanji, literally means "Nine Snakes"]
People: Aaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
[Mountain inscription: Kuja]
[box: The Isle of Women, "Amazon Lily"! // A place never to be dreamed of... // ...and that you should never think to set foot in... / ...if, that is, you value your life.]
[insert text: You know, that's actually kind of... nice...]
