One Piece Chapter 154: Towards Alabasta

00AI-written

Chapter 154 “Towards Alabasta”. A massive splash illustration depicts a chaotic battlefield. In the center, a blond man in a black shirt and striped pants leaps forward with intense focus, one arm extended in a powerful kick while gripping a weapon. Surrounding him are shattered swords, axes, spears, and debris flying through the air. Multiple figures tumble and clash amid ruined buildings and swirling smoke. At the bottom, small text reads JANGO'S DANCE PARADISE VOL. 22 “MARINE HQ CAPTAIN'S STRENGTH”.

Under a starry night sky with a full moon, the Going Merry sails across dark waters past three towering rock formations. Narration states: AFTERWARDS, “HILLLUK'S CHERRY BLOSSOMS” THAT FELL ON THAT FATEFUL NIGHT, BECAME KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AS THE VOICE THAT SIGNALED THE BIRTH OF FREEDOM IN A COUNTRY YET WITHOUT A NAME. Below, the ship’s Jolly Roger flag waves as more narration reads: THAT THIS COUNTRY WOULD ADOPT A MOST UNUSUAL FLAG AS THEIR NATIONAL SYMBOL, IS A STORY FOR LATER.

Snow falls over a grand castle on a hill. A voice wonders, THEY MUST'VE LEFT THE ISLAND BY NOW… HMMM… Inside a room, Dalton sits cross-legged while another figure stands nearby. Dialogue continues: THEN IT'S THE FACT THAT A TIMID LITTLE REINDEER LIKE HIM DECIDED TO VENTURE THE SEAS… IF HILLLUK'S “CHERRY BLOSSOMS” REALLY DID CAUSE A MIRACLE. THE REINDEER THAT INHERITED BOTH THE BEST MEDICAL SKILLS AND THE HEART REQUIRED FOR A DOCTOR… Dalton turns, HMI DALTON! A smiling long-nosed figure in sunglasses adds, I'M SURE THIS COUNTRY WILL CHANGE, JUST LIKE HIM… HE WAS ACTING ALL TOUGH LIKE A MAN FOR A MOMENT THERE… HEE HEE HEE…

In a snowy town, people examine a wanted poster. THAT'S HIM! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! THIS! LOOK! SHOW ME WHATI WE JUST REMEMBERED THAT WE OUGHT TO SHOW YOU THIS! LOOK! The poster shows Monkey D. Luffy with a 30,000,000 berry bounty. OHI WELL ISN'T HE QUITE THE NOTORIOUS VILLAINI HEE HEE HEE… A WANTED PIRATE, WITH A BOUNTY OF 30 MILLION BERI… Elsewhere, a lone traveler in a black cloak walks through Robelle as townsfolk discuss: A LONE TRAVELLER SUDDENLY SHOWED UP IN ROBELLE. FOR SOME REASON, IT DIDN'T SNOW AT ALL THAT DAY. AROUND A WEEK AGO. WE SHOULD'VE SHOWED THIS TO YOU EARLIER BUT WE FORGOT. WELL, THAT'S… WHERE DID YOU GET THISI

Three men in heavy fur coats stand in the snowy town square. One says, "BUT WHEN WE TOLD HIM BLACKBEARD HAD ALREADY LEFT THIS COUNTRY..." Another continues, "BUT HE SAID HE WAS LOOKING FOR 'BLACKBEARD.' THE SAME PIRATE THAT ATTACKED OUR COUNTRY." The third adds, "WE DON'T KNOW WHERE HE CAME FROM." They explain further: "AND THAT'S WHEN HE HANDED US THIS WANTED POSTER. WE SAID WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF HIM." In a narrow street, a tall figure in a black hat and coat appears from behind, asking, "HAS A PIRATE WEARING A STRAW-HAT COME HERE BY ANY CHANCEI THEN LET ME ASK YOU ONE MORE THING." The man in the hat points forward and declares, "THAT'LL BE ALL... PLEASE TELL HIM I'LL BE WAITING IN ALABASTA FOR 10 DAYS. IF HE HAPPENS TO COME TO THIS ISLAND..."

Ace grins with a cigarette in his mouth and says, "TELL HIM THAT IF LUFFY COMES HERE. THE NAME'S ACE." A fur-coated man reacts in surprise, "OH THAT'S RIGHT, I ALMOST FORGOT. WAIT! WHAT'S YOUR NAME!I" Ace replies with a smirk. In the street, townspeople shout, "CRAP! BE SURE TO PASS ON THE MESSAGE!" "HUH!I" "SOMEONE CATCH THAT MAN! HE DIDN'T PAY FOR HIS MEAL!" with sound effect "だだだ!!" Back in the square, the group discusses the poster. One says, "AND I'VE GOT A HUNCH ABOUT WHY THAT IS... BECAUSE THOSE PIRATES ARE HEADING TOWARDS ALABASTA NEXT." Another asks, "HUHI WHYI" The woman with the poster answers, "I SEE... WELL, I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A NEED TO TELL HIM."

The woman with long hair and goggles looks at the wanted poster and asks, "DR. KUREHA... WHAT'RE YOU STARING SO INTENTLY AT THAT POSTER FORI" Dr. Kureha replies, "I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE TRAVELLING WITH THOSE PIRATES BUT I'M SURE YOU HAVE YOUR REASONS... YOU'VE GROWN UP TO BE A WONDERFUL LADY..." A man notes, "I GET THE FEELING WE'VE MET SOMEWHERE BEFORE." The woman blushes, "I-IT MUST BE YOUR IMAGINATION, I'M SURE OF IT!" Dr. Kureha asks, "DO YOU KNOW OF GOL 'D.' ROGER...I" The group reacts with surprise. Later, examining the poster, Dr. Kureha says, "SEEMS MY REINDEER HAS GONE OFF WITH A VERY DANGEROUS MAN INDEED..." The woman wonders, "...SO IS THAT WHAT THE PEOPLE CALL HIM THESE DAYSI"

Dr. Kureha smiles widely and declares, "IS STILL ALIVE... IT SEEMS THE WILL OF 'D.'" A small ship sails across the moonlit sea at night. On deck, Luffy, Usopp, and the crew celebrate wildly under the full moon. Luffy shouts with joy, arms raised, while sound effects "どん!!" "バタバタ" "バタ" fill the air. Usopp cheers beside him. Narration reads, "AND THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE IN BLOOM! THE FULL MOON IS OUT, WHAT A NIGHT!" Luffy laughs, "AHA HA HA HA!"

Under a bright moon on a snowy sea, the Going Merry sails through falling flakes. A voice calls out, "HEY CHOPPER! HOW LONG ARE YA GONNA SIT THERE MOPING!I" followed by another shout of "CHOPPER!" On deck the crew celebrates with drinks. Nami cheers "GUYS!" Sanji raises a bottle, "YOU SAID IT! AND WHAT BETTER TIME THAN NOW IS THERE FOR A DRINKI" Zoro adds, "DIDN'T THINK I'D GET TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN A SNOW COUNTRY!" Usopp notes, "THOSE CHERRY BLOSSOMS WERE SURE PRETTY THOUGH." Someone calls, "COME AND DRINK WITH US!" Nami shows off, "YO NAMI, LOOK! I LEARNED THIS FROM YOSAKU!" Below, Carue lies frozen in the snow as Luffy yells "CARUEEE!" The duck quacks weakly. Sanji demands, "CARUE! WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUT FROZEN IN THE RIVER!I" while Zoro asks, "WOULD IT KILL YOU TO PAY SOME ATTENTION OVER HERE TOO!I" Luffy finishes, "WHAT, THOSE TWO LOOK ALIVE TO ME."

Chopper, still in his small form, leaps and shouts at Carue, "SO THIS WAS YOUR FAULT!" The crew pieces it together: "SO HE JUMPED INSIDE TO RESCUE HIM BUT ENDED UP BECOMING FROZEN." "HE SAID HE SAW SOMEONE CALLED ZORO DISAPPEAR IN THE RIVER." Nami laughs, "MAYBE HE SLIPPED AND FELL INI HAHA, CLUMSY LIL' GUY." Chopper yells, "YOU STAY QUIET, MR. BUSHIDO!" Nami turns to Chopper with sparkling eyes, "BUT YOU CAN TALK TO ANIMALS TOO!I" Chopper replies, "THAT'S AMAZING, CHOPPER! YOU'RE NOT ONLY WELL VERSED IN MEDICAL SKILLS," then explains, "WELL, I WAS ORIGINALLY A NORMAL ANIMAL SO I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER ANIMALS." Nami asks, "YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT CARUE IS SAYING, TONYI" Zoro questions, "WAIT NAMI, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'MEDICAL SKILLS'I" Chopper beams, "YOU SEEM PLENTY HAPPY TO ME..." before snapping, "S-SHUT UP! THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY ONE BIT, YOU IDIOT!"

Chopper transforms into his larger reindeer form while the crew reacts. Nami exclaims, "HE'S A COOL REINDEER THAT CAN TRANSFORM INTO 7 DIFFERENT FORMS, DUH." Luffy asks, "IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT, THEN WHY DID YOU INVITE HIM ONBOARDI" Nami realizes, "WHAAAT!I CHOPPER, YOU'RE A DOCTOR!I" Chopper explains, "BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY TRYING TO ESCAPE!" then panics, "OH NO! I FORGOT TO BRING MY SURGICAL TOOLS, AH-" In the next moment he stares in shock at a black backpack marked with an X. Nami holds it up, "MY BACKPACK! BUT HOW!I" Chopper wonders, "THEN WHAT'S THISI IT WAS ALREADY INSIDE THE SLEIGH." Luffy asks, "HOWI" while Chopper mutters, "I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU, NO..."

Nami smiles warmly at Chopper, "SHE'S A WONDERFUL PERSON, ISN'T SHE..." Chopper sits quietly with the backpack. Nami continues, "SO IT WAS THE DOCTRESS... SHE KNEW ALL ALONG ABOUT WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO, IT SEEMS." The crew erupts into a wild party. Luffy and Usopp dance and shout, "HEY, HYAHER, UANNA RY HOOI (HEY CHOPPER, YOU WANNA TRY TOOI)" while everyone laughs, "AHA HAHA HAHA!" and "KEEP IT DOWN OVER THERE!" Suddenly an old man in a leopard-print outfit appears on screen, "ATTENTION, EVERYBODY!" He salutes with a loud "BEEEEEEP!" and declares, "ALRIIIGHT!" Nami and Usopp yell in alarm, "DON'T FOLLOW THEM!"

Aboard the Going Merry, the Straw Hats celebrate their new crewmate. Sanji calls out, "AND DOCTOR, TONY TONY CHOPPER-" while Chopper snaps back, "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME!I I'M NOT YOUR SERVANT, PAL!" Usopp yells, "HEY, CHEF! BRING SOME SNACKS TO GO ALONG WITH THE DRINKS!" as someone else shouts, "CARUE, YOU DRANK TOO MUCH!" and "AHEM. I'D LIKE TO WELCOME OUR NEW FRIEND." Nami asks Sanji about more dino meat. The crew raises glasses in a toast. "AND SO, I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE A TOAST ON THIS OCCASION!" Luffy beams with joy, "I'VE EVER BEEN SO HAPPY!" and "THIS IS THE FIRST TIME." The ship sails onward with the crew in high spirits.

The crew cheers wildly. "CHEERS!" Mr. 2 Bon Kurei raises a massive mug, declaring, "TO OUR NEW FRIEND!" The entire crew echoes, "CHEERS!" A narration box states, "NOW SAILS AT THE FASTEST SPEED TOWARDS THE KINGDOM OF SAND, ALABASTA..." and notes, "THEIR SHIP." The Going Merry cuts through the waves at full speed, the Straw Hats laughing and celebrating together as they head toward Alabasta.

The scene shifts back in time. "GOING BACK JUST A LITTLE IN TIME..." On the island of giants, Little Garden, two massive figures clash. Dorry and Brogy battle fiercely amid the jungle. "FORGIVE ME, MR. 2 BON KUREI!" "I'M SORRY, SIR!" A bird calls, "CAW." The giants roar, "YOU DIMWITS!" "GYAAAAA!" "KRUAAHHH!" "DEUX!" "UN!" "GAHHHH!" "UN! DEUX! ORAAAA! NITWITS!" The Going Merry sits docked nearby as the giants continue their eternal duel.

Mr. 2 Bon Kurei strikes a dramatic pose in full flamboyant attire. He declares, "WHO DO YOU SILLY BILLIES THINK I AM!I" and "THIS IS NOOOOO JOOOOKE!" "I'M AN OKAMA! ONE WHO FOLLOWS THE 'PATH OF THE OKAMA!'" A label identifies him as "BAROQUE WORKS (OFFICER AGENT) MR. 2 BON KUREI." He stands triumphantly with swans, feathers, and dramatic effects surrounding him.

A cloaked figure with a large swan-like headdress and robe marked "おかま道" stands with arms spread, ordering, "TERMINATE MR. 3 WHO'S TRAVELLING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ALABASTA AND LITTLE GARDEN... REPEAT TO ME WHAT MR. 0'S ORDERS WERE!" In the jungle, a group reaches Little Garden. One character exclaims in shock, "BUT NOW WHAT!I WE'VE ALREADY REACHED LITTLE GARDEN AND NOT ONCE DURING OUR VOYAGE DID WE SPOT MR. 3! T-THAT'S..." Another replies, "YES INDEEDIO! AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I CAME TO THIS ISLAND STRAIGHT FROM ALABASTA." A tense exchange follows: "MR. SILLY BILLY OR MS. SILLY BILLYI WHICH DO YOU PREFER!I" "UMM... M-MISTER!" "DOESN'T THAT MAKE ME THE SILLY BILLYI" "IF YOU'RE SURE OF IT, THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN OUR CURRENT SITUATION!" "N-NO... I'M SUR..." "YOU SURE IT'S NOT YOU BUMBLING FOOLS WHO ACCIDENTALLY MISSED HIS SHIP!I" "SHUT YOUR TRAP!" "WHAT WAS THAT!I"

Close-up on the cloaked figure with dramatic makeup and sweat drops, shouting intensely, "FAILURE IS UNFORGIVABLE! IF I FAIL HERE, MR. 1 AND HIS PARTNER'S SURE TO COME HUNT ME DOWN! IT'S NOOOOO JOOOOOKE! I CAN'T FAIL SOME TRIVIAL MISSION LIKE MR. 3 DURING A MOST CRITICAL TIME LIKE NOW!" Smaller panels show a wide-eyed reaction with SFX "ギラッ" and "ヒュルルルル", followed by an explosion labeled "FWIP" as the figure yells, "YOU'LL FIND MR. 3 NO MATTER WHAT! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BECOME A PRACTICE DUMMY FOR MY OKAMA KEMPO, DO YOU IDIOTS UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF OUR SITUATION!I" The large bottom panel depicts a Baroque Works ship with a swan mast marked "おかま道" speeding through the water. The cloaked figure commands, "AND DON'T YOU DARE MISS SPOTTING EVEN THE TINIEST ROWBOAT! HAVE SWANKA EXPRESS HEAD BACK TO ALABASTA AT FULL SPEED!" A subordinate answers, "YES SIR, MR. 2 BON KUREI!"

A wide coastal view of Sandy Island (Alabasta Kingdom) with waves and distant structures. A voice wonders, "ANOTHER PIRATE RAIDI" Inside a grand pillared hall with curtains, a short-haired woman with a slight smile says, "WHO KNOWS... BUT A COUNTRY IN TURMOIL IS AN IDEAL PREY FOR PIRATES. WILL YOU GO...I" A cloaked figure stands by the balcony as she adds, "DO THEY NOT REALIZE I'M HERE IN THIS KINGDOM...I" The cloaked figure, now shown with a hook hand and scarred face, replies while walking away, "OF COURSE. I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH SURFACE APPEARANCES, AFTER ALL. A 'ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI' IS A PIRATE THAT HUNTS OTHER PIRATES! A SAVIOR OF THE PEOPLE." A large reptilian creature rests in the background near the stairs.
