## One Piece Chapter 103, pages 5-6: WHALE - Chapter: 103 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Usopp, Crocus, Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Nami ### Summary Page 5: Usopp, shocked by Crocus's revelation, stammers, "S... SO THEN WE REALLY MUST'VE BEEN SWALLOWED BY A WHALE. I DON'T WANNA BE DIGESTED! WHAT DO WE DO...!?" Crocus calmly points towards the horizon and says, "IF IT'S AN EXIT YOU WANT, IT'S RIGHT OVER THERE." Sanji and Usopp look in the direction he's pointing and exclaim, "YOU CAN GET OUT OF HERE!? WHY IS THERE AN EXIT INSIDE A WHALE'S STOMACH?" They look closer and notice something strange. Usopp says, "AND HOW IS IT THAT A DOOR'S FLOATING IN THE SKY? NO WAIT... IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY, THE SKIES, AND THE CLOUDS... ARE ALL JUST A PAINTING...!" A wide shot reveals the massive interior of the whale. The sky and clouds are indeed painted on the curved walls of the stomach, and a large set of double doors is built into the wall. The Going Merry is floating in the water below. Usopp realizes, "THE INSIDE OF THE WHALE'S STOMACH HAS BEEN PAINTED OVER!" Zoro asks Crocus, "JUST WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE ANYWAYS!?" Crocus replies, "THAT'S JUST MY WAY OF HAVING A GOOD TIME." Zoro sighs, "JUST LEAVE HIM BE. WE'VE FOUND AN EXIT SO LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE." Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound interrupts them, and Usopp yells, "WHAT'S THAT!?" Page 6: Nami, looking at the water, realizes the danger they are in. "SO THEN THIS OCEAN IS ACTUALLY STOMACH ACID!? IF WE STAY HERE ANY LONGER THAN THIS, OUR SHIP WILL BE DISSOLVED!" Usopp points out another detail, "LOOK! THAT'S NO ISLAND EITHER! IT'S A SHIP! AN IRON ONE AT THAT, TOO!" referring to the island Crocus was on. The rumbling continues, and Usopp demands, "HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON! GIVE US AN EXPLANATION!" Crocus looks up with a serious expression and says, "SO HE'S STARTED AGAIN, HAS HE..." Sanji asks, "WHAT!?" Crocus explains, "THIS WHALE, HAS STARTED BASHING HIS HEAD AGAINST THE RED LINE AGAIN...!" The crew is shocked. Nami remembers something, "NOW THAT HE MENTIONS IT... I REMEMBER THAT WHALE'S FOREHEAD WAS COVERED IN SCARS...!...AND HE WAS BELLOWING UP AT THE SKY!" Usopp asks, "WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?" Nami, looking concerned, concludes, "IT MEANS HE'S SUFFERING...!"
