Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Sea Cat, Usopp, Tony Tony Chopper, Nami ### Summary Page 3: Vivi swiftly intervenes, swinging a wooden club and smacking both Luffy and Zoro hard on the head. A loud "Bokaaan" sound effect accompanies the strike. Luffy and Zoro are knocked down, rubbing their heads in confusion. Sanji yells, "YOU CAN'T!" while Vivi angrily shouts, "You can't eat it!" The Sea Cat takes the opportunity to dive back underwater and swim away safely. Luffy, rubbing his bruised head, complains, "THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, VIVI!?" Zoro, equally confused, asks, "W-what was that for, Vivi!?" Vivi sits calmly on the ship's railing and explains, "Sea Cats, Are sacred creatures of Alabasta." Page 4: Luffy sits on the deck, crying comically with a large bump on his head, mourning, "The food... The food escaped..." Usopp tries to act tough, boasting to Chopper, "You fought against Sea Kings!? Let Usopp tell you about that one time he faced Sea Kings in the Calm Belt. The biggest Sea Kings you could imagine, my lad!" Chopper listens in awe, trembling slightly. Sanji, panting, mocks Usopp, "PANT PANT... Heh, looks like you've still got a long ways to go if you get scared at something like that. There sure are a lot of strange creatures in the sea." Nami calls out to Vivi, "Vivi! The wind and climate seems to have stabilized." Vivi confirms, "Yes, we must have entered Alabasta's climate. The Sea Cat we saw just now is proof of that." Luffy's eyes light up again, "REALLY!? WHAT KIND OF CAT'LL COME OUT FROM THE SEA THIS TIME!?" Vivi reassures him, "Don't worry, you'll soon be able to eat as much as you want." Zoro smirks, looking out at the horizon, "And I guess a sight like 'that' is another proof that we've reached Alabasta."
