One Piece Chapter 129: Straight Ahead!!!

A colossal goldfish-like sea creature surges from the ocean with jaws wide open, water spraying everywhere. Its massive eye glares as it lunges toward the Going Merry. Luffy stands on deck in his straw hat, shouting "AGHH!" with a fierce expression. Speech bubbles read: "WE MUST NOT LET YOUR FLAG OF PRIDE BE TARNISHED EITHER...!" and "TRUST IN US AND SAIL STRAIGHT AHEAD! NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, SAIL ONLY STRAIGHT AHEAD!" On the left, panicked voices cry: "WHAT IS THAT THING!I IS IT A SEA KING!I"

The crew reacts in panic aboard the Going Merry. Usopp yells "A GIANT GOLDFISH...I I FEEL LIKE I'VE HEARD OF THAT BEFORE..." while Nami shouts "WHAT IN THE WORLD... IS THAT A GIANT... GOLDFISH!I" and "GRAB THE HELM OR WE'RE GOING TO BE SWALLOWED ALIVE!" Sanji sweats and says "RIGHT, LUFFYI" as Luffy grins confidently from below: "YUP. YOU BET." Other voices call "WE'LL BE GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD!" "I... I WON'T!" "USOPP! HURRY!" amid "QUICK! QUICK!" sound effects and the giant fish looming.

The Going Merry sails directly toward the enormous swirling maw of the giant goldfish. Luffy stands on deck replying "YUP." Nami pleads "LUFFY! YOU SURE THOSE GIANTS ARE TRUST-WORTHY, RIGHTI" while Sanji says "GIVE IT UP ALREADY." Usopp screams "MMNGHH!" and "I DON'T NEED ANY SENBEI! IF WE DON'T TURN THIS SHIP AROUND THIS INSTANT, WE'LL—" A voice retorts "DON'T BE RIDICULOUS! THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN GETTING SWALLOWED BY LABOON!" Nami cries out in terror "OH NO! IT'S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING NOW!" and "ARE YOU SERIOUS!I WE'RE REALLY GOING TO SAIL STRAIGHT INTO THAT MONSTER!I" as massive "GUAOOOO..." and "KYAAAAA!" sound effects fill the air.

Two massive figures stand atop the enormous goldfish that has swallowed islands whole. One declares, "THE MOST SURPRISING THING ISN'T THE SIZE OF THIS GOLDFISH... BUT RATHER THE SIZE OF THE FECES IT CRAPS OUT." The other grins widely and says, "WELL, WELL, WELL. HAVEN'T YOU GROWN QUITE A BIT, ISLAND-DEVOURER...I" The giant goldfish looms with its cavernous mouth open as the pair recall, "I STILL REMEMBER THE TIME WE LANDED ON IT, MISTAKING IT FOR DRY LAND...!" and "YES, CERTAINLY... FECES ENORMOUS ENOUGH TO BE CALLED THE 'VACANT ISLANDS.'" They laugh, "GEGYAGYA GYAGYA..." and "AYE, THOSE FOND DAYS OF ADVENTURE..." while the creature bellows, "GYA A A A A A A A A!" The narration notes, "THE MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK WHEN I LOOK AT THEM...!"

The giants ready their colossal weapons. One raises the mighty spear and shouts, "BEHOLD THE MIGHTIEST SPEAR OF WE GIANTS OF ELBAF...! ONLY THE 'GREAT SERPENT SOAKED IN BLOOD' CAN WITHSTAND OUR ATTACKS!" Luffy, inside the creature's mouth, yells repeatedly, "STRAIGHT AHEAD! STRAIGHT AHEAD!" as the giants thrust forward. The spear strikes with tremendous force, "GUGUGU" and "YAAAAA!!!" The giants grunt, "NGHH!" while the goldfish reacts with splashes, "PLSP! PLSP!" Inside, the crew reacts in panic as the ship is jostled violently.

The giants unleash their ultimate combined technique. Their massive strike creates a devastating shockwave that tears through the goldfish's body. The impact explodes outward with the cry "HAKOKU! (Supreme Kingdom!)" The creature's eye bulges in shock as the force rips through its flesh, sending debris and water flying. The goldfish reels from the blow, its massive form convulsing under the legendary Elbaf assault.

The Going Merry is blasted skyward by the force of the attack. Luffy clings to the figurehead, shouting with wild excitement, "WE'RE FLYING!" and "FREAKIN' BIG!" as the ship soars through the air. He grins broadly and adds, "THEY'RE JUST SO..." The crew's vessel tumbles through the sky above the island while Luffy cheers, "WOHOO!" A voice urges, "DON'T TURN BACK NOW! FLY STRAIGHT AHEAD!" The ship continues its airborne trajectory amid the chaos of the giants' strike.

A massive slash tears through the sea as a ship is hurled aside amid explosive impact lines and debris. "ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!" reads the narration. In close-up, a long-nosed warrior with goggles and a bandaged arm sniffs the air, sweat flying, and declares, "SO THIS IS... SNIFF THE POWER OF ELBAF'S WARRIORS...! THEY CUT... THE OCEAN ITSELF..." Below, two enormous armored giants raise their weapons high—one gripping a massive spiked club, the other a huge axe—shouting in unison, "NOW GO!" as impact stars and motion lines burst around them.

The two giants throw their heads back in roaring laughter, mouths wide open. "GABABA BABABA!" "GEGYAGYA GYAGYAGYA!" A narration box reads, "LONG AGO," followed by silhouettes of the giants standing on a shore with a distant ship. "THERE WAS A GROUP OF ROWDY WARRIORS, CALLED THE WARRIOR-GIANT PIRATES." Their crossed weapons appear next: a massive axe labeled "WERE 'BROGY THE RED OGRE' AND 'DORRY THE BLUE OGRE.'" The narration continues, "THE TWO OVERWHELMINGLY STRONG CAPTAINS OF THIS PIRATE CREW."

Narration explains, "AS THESE GIANTS WREAKED HAVOC ACROSS THE WORLD, MERE HUMANS COULD ONLY HELPLESSLY WATCH BY." A small human girl watches from the foreground as the giants rampage. Crew members cheer wildly: "YOU BET! I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FORGET A CATCH THAT BIG!" "DID YOU SEE OUR CAPTAINS' CATCH TODAY!I" "IN THE END, WHAT STOPPED THESE RAMPAGING GIANTS... WAS A SINGLE LITTLE HUMAN GIRL." The giants loom over the girl, one asking, "ARE OUR CAPTAINS! ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MY BROTHERS!I" Another adds, "EVEN IF WE ARE GIANTS OF ELBAF, THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF MONSTERS THAT BIG... EACH OF OUR CAPTAINS JUST TOOK OUT ENORMOUSLY HUGE SEA KINGS!" The girl smiles and says, "YOU SAID IT! THEY WERE OUR FINEST CATCH!" while Usopp laughs, "GABABABABA! I GOTTA SAY, IN ALL MY YEARS, I'VE NEVER SEEN SEA KINGS THAT BIG!"

The young girl smiles and asks, "WAS BIGGERI SO WHICH ONE," while the two giants stare at each other in confusion, sweat drops flying. One growls, "ONE...I" The other echoes, "WHICH..." The scene cuts to two enormous sea kings lying defeated on the shore. One giant points and shouts, "BROGY, LOOK!" The other retorts, "MINE CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE THE BIGGER ONE!" while the first insists, "HOGWASH! MY CATCH IS EXACTLY 3CM BIGGER!" The girl pleads, "PLEASE STOP ARGUING, CAPTAINS!" as the giants continue their heated debate over the massive creatures.

Two colossal dinosaur skulls lie half-buried among dense jungle foliage on a volcanic island. In the foreground, the giant warriors Dorry and Brogy stand facing each other. Dorry crosses his arms and says, "YOU KNOW, THE SAME GOES FOR ME TOO..." Brogy replies thoughtfully, "THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN'T QUITE SEEM TO RECALL." A small panel shows a distant volcano erupting with the sound effect ドォン as Dorry notes, "THE CENTER VOLCANO... AH." Brogy then declares, "BY THE WAY, BROGY." The two giants agree to finish their long-standing duel. Brogy shouts, "WELL, WHATEVER! LET'S SETTLE THINGS ONCE AND FOR ALL TODAY!" Dorry responds enthusiastically, "YES! WE CAN THINK THINGS OUT AFTER THAT!" A narration box states, "WE'RE EVENTS OF A LONG, LONG TIME AGO." The page ends with a massive impact sound effect バキッ...!! shaking the landscape as the giants prepare to clash once more.

The Going Merry sails calmly across open sea under a bright sky. Narration reads, "MEANWHILE, HAVING DEPARTED FROM LITTLE GARDEN," and "THE SHIP SAILS CALMLY ALONG." Usopp stands on deck, arms raised, yelling, "GUYS LISTEN! ONE DAY! I SWEAR! I'LL VISIT ELBAF AND THE VILLAGE OF WARRIORS!" Nami watches him with a slight sweat drop, murmuring, "AREN'T THOSE TWO LIVELY..." Inside the ship, Usopp continues excitedly, "EL~BAF BAF~ EEEHHH! BAAAAAHHHHFFF~ WHERE EV'RYONE IS GIGANTIC~ 'CAUSE THEY'RE GIANTS~" Nami turns to Vivi and asks, "VIVI... CAN YOU KEEP AN EYE ON THE LOG POSEI" Vivi, looking tired, answers, "I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I FEEL EXHAUSTED FROM ALL THAT EARLIER..." while holding the log pose. The crew discusses their next destination as the ship continues forward.

Nami smiles warmly and says, "IT LOOKS LIKE WE CAN FINALLY GO TO ALABASTA." Vivi, looking determined, replies, "AFTER ALL... I FINALLY FOUND A WAY TO SAVE ALABASTA..." and adds, "YES... I RETURN NO MATTER WHAT..." while Igaram stands nearby holding a cup. Igaram warns, "WELL, THAT'S ONLY IF. THERE'S NO OTHER TROUBLE..." In a more serious panel, Igaram kneels before Vivi and states gravely, "PRESENTLY, THE PEOPLE HAVE LOST FAITH IN YOUR FATHER, THE KING...! YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS, PRINCESS!" The scene shifts to a grand palace interior where Igaram continues, "SO YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT DIE! THAN TO TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH DIRECTLY FROM YOUR MOUTH! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO QUELL THIS REBELLION."

Igaram looms large in a dramatic close-up, his face intense as he tells Vivi, "THE PATH AHEAD OF YOU IS SURELY A MOST DIFFICULT ONE... AND SO I ASK, ARE YOU PREPARED TO NOT LET YOURSELF PERISH...I" and continues, "NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE SACRIFICE THEMSELVES FOR YOU... NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU MUST BETRAY... YOU MUST SURVIVE AT ALL COSTS!" Vivi looks resolute and answers, "NO NEED TO STRAIN YOURSELF, VIVI. AND RETURN TO ALABASTA...! I HAVE TO SURVIVE," while sweat drops form on her face. In the background, Sanji offers refreshments to the group, saying, "FOR DRINKS, WE HAVE COFFEE OR TEA... NOW HOW WOULD YOU LIKE SOME PETITS FOURS AS TODAY'S SNACKI" He then turns to Vivi with a confident grin and declares, "BECAUSE I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE!" with a large どくん sound effect emphasizing his words.

Inside the Going Merry's cabin, the crew relaxes as Sanji announces, "YOUR SHARES ARE IN THE KITCHEN." Usopp and Chopper drool excitedly with "DROOL だろーっ" while Nami and Vivi lounge nearby. The mood shifts to Zoro training intensely on deck. He strains against massive weights labeled "100kg," grunting with effort as he pushes through reps. Sweat pours down his scarred torso. In close-up he mutters, "IF ONLY I COULD HAVE CUT THAT 'CANDLE-WAX'... THEN THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY TROUBLE." He continues lifting, thinking, "SO I CAN EVEN CUT THROUGH IRON... MUST GET... STRONG-ER..." with heavy impact sounds "ブンッ!!" and "ブン!!" as he swings.

At the Port of Sandy Island (Alabasta Kingdom), a small boat approaches the shore. A voice declares, "THE SWANDA IS READY TO SET SAIL." On deck, Mr. 2 Bon Clay strikes a dramatic pose. Nearby, Mr. 3 argues with subordinates: "JEEZ LOUISE! WHY DO I HAVE TO GO!I CAN'T YOU BOYS TAKE CARE OF LITTLE OL' MR. 3I" One replies nervously, "T-THERE'S NO WAY! EVEN IF ALL OF US ATTACKED HIM AT ONCE, IT'D BE IMPOSSIBLE!" Mr. 2 waves them off, "FIIIINE, FIIIINE, JUST PIPE DOWN ALREADY!" In the background a massive figure in a feathered coat with "おかま道" on the back looms, prompting "MR. 0 CAN BE SO BOTHERSOME!" and a flustered subordinate stammering, "P-PLEASE SIR...! IT'S THE BOSS' ORDER!"

Aboard the ship, Vivi speaks to Nami: "SO JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM AND TAKE A NICE R..." Nami lies down, replying weakly, "IT'S FINE. I'LL BE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THE LOG POSE. SORRY, VIVI... I'M GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE... BREAK..." Suddenly an alarm sounds. Luffy panics, "WHA- WHAT IS IT, VIVI!I" Zoro sweats and says, "HUH... IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" Vivi shouts, "EVERYONE!" as a mysterious ship with a skull flag sails into view. The final panel reveals Nami collapsed in bed with a high fever, sweat pouring off her as the narration states, "AN EXTREMELY HIGH FEVER...! NAMI'S FALLEN DOWN WITH..."
