Luffy, rabbit creatures, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, weird animal, weird animals, Gaimon, flashback pirates ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays the text "CHAPTER 22" and the title "YOU ARE A RARE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL TOO". The illustration shows Luffy jumping energetically over a large wooden mortar, holding a pestle in both hands as if preparing to pound something. He is surrounded by three rabbit-like creatures. One rabbit on the left wears goggles and has its mouth wide open in excitement. Another rabbit sits on the right, holding its long ears down with its paws. A third rabbit, wearing a cowboy hat, sits nearby with a paw raised. A basket of round objects sits in the foreground. Page 1: The scene opens with a view of a small boat sailing on the open sea under a cloudy sky. Sound effects "KA" and "KA" float in the air. On the boat, Luffy stands triumphantly, holding his straw hat high in the air with one hand. He shouts happily, "IT'S FIXED...!" with a loud "DO-N!" sound effect emphasizing his excitement. In the background, Zoro is lying on the deck, fast asleep with his arms crossed behind his head. Page 2: Nami holds up a needle and thread, looking at Luffy. She says, "I just... mended the cuts. I think that should do it, try not to poke it too much." Luffy, holding his newly repaired straw hat, replies enthusiastically, "Right! Right! Thanks! You did a great job in fixing this hat." He then starts poking the hat repeatedly with his finger, accompanied by "POKE POKE POKE" sound effects. Nami yells angrily, "Didn't you listen to what I just said?!?" Luffy continues poking, saying "YAAAA-AAAA..." until his finger bursts right through the top of the hat with a "BUSSS!" sound. Nami looks on in dismay, muttering, "Uh oh..." Luffy stares at his finger sticking out of the hat and says, "Ah!" In the next panel, Nami forcefully jams the needle into Luffy's head with a "ZUBO!" sound effect. Luffy yells, "Stop poking me with that needle, it hurts!" Nami retorts, "It's useless if I hit you, so I have to use the needle!" Luffy, rubbing his head, replies, "Ah, that makes sense!" Meanwhile, Zoro wakes up from his nap, looking annoyed. He complains, "You guys are too noisy! I can't sleep with all this noise. Hey! I'm hungry!" Page 3: Zoro sits up on the boat and demands, "Share us some food!" Nami, looking exasperated, scolds him, "Oh, please! You need to be more prepared! You don't bring food or water and you dare to go to sea, you underestimated the sea!" Luffy suddenly points ahead and shouts, "Ah! I see something!" Zoro remarks to Nami, "It's a miracle you've survived up to now!" Nami confidently replies, "There's always a way!" Luffy excitedly announces, "Hey! There's an island!" Nami looks at the distant island and dismisses it, saying, "That island is no good! It's unpopulated, so it's useless! Let's just keep going!" Zoro interrupts, "Wait!" He grabs the oars and starts rowing the boat towards the island with "ROW ROW" sound effects. Zoro explains, "Let's see if we can find someone who would join us there... And let's look for food too. You know, Nami was right, we seem to have no plans!" Page 4: The boat approaches the shore of the island. Luffy stands at the front, grinning widely, and declares, "We've reached the isolated island!" A large "DO----N" sound effect emphasizes their arrival. Luffy looks around the sandy beach and notes, "There's nothing here but forest!" Nami, standing behind him, says, "Like I said, this is an unpopulated island! It would be weird if you found someone for the crew here!" Luffy turns back towards the boat and calls out, "Hey! Zoro, come over here!" A large "DON!" sound effect fills the bottom panel as Luffy waits for Zoro. Page 5: Nami grabs Luffy by the collar and pulls him away from the boat, saying, "Let him sleep. He's still injured." Luffy protests, "Hey, you're sleeping!" as Zoro is shown fast asleep on the boat, snoring "ZZZ... ZZZ...". Luffy relents, saying, "You're right! Well, let's go!" Nami asks, "Go where?" Luffy points towards the trees and says, "Towards the forest! You never know, there might be people there!" Nami warns him, "There's no one here but poisonous snakes and wild animals!" As they walk into the forest, a strange "POCK POCK POCK..." sound is heard. Luffy says, "Um..?" and Nami says, "Huh?" They spot a bizarre animal walking past them with a "NOSHI NOSHI" sound effect. It looks like a fox but has a rooster's comb on its head and a feathered tail. Nami stares at it in confusion and asks, "What is that?" Page 6: Luffy holds up a strange snake that has long rabbit ears. He laughs and says, "Hey look!! What a weird rabbit!" Nami, looking unsettled, replies, "It's weird alright, but I think that it's a mutant snake." They then notice another bizarre creature walking by with a "SUTA SUTA" sound effect: a pig with a thick lion's mane. Nami as...
