## One Piece Chapter 292, pages 5-7: To Meet, like the Half Moon Hidden by Clouds - Chapter: 292 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Montblanc Noland, King of Lvneel, Sailor, Townspeople ### Summary Page 5: Noland is shown kneeling on the barren ground near the edge of the cliff, staring out at the sea in utter disbelief. He mutters to himself, "WHY...? WHY DOES THE ISLAND MEET THE SEA HERE...?" Behind him, the King's face is shown in an extreme close-up, contorted in absolute, terrifying fury. He screams at the top of his lungs, "NOLAAAAANNND! YOU DECEIVED ME, DIDN'T YOU!? JUST WHERE IS THIS CITY OF GOLD SUPPOSED TO BE!?" The King's rage is palpable, depicted with heavy shading and jagged speech bubbles, while Noland remains frozen in shock, unable to comprehend the missing land. Page 6: Noland's face is covered in sweat, his eyes wide with confusion and despair as he tries to comprehend the impossible situation. He thinks, "WHERE... DID THE VILLAGE GO...? WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ISLAND...?" He desperately calls out in his mind to his friend, "KALGARA, IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, PLEASE LET ME HEAR IT... THE SOUND OF THE GOLDEN BELL...! PLEASE ANSWER ME WITH THE LIGHT OF SHANDORA!" The scene shows the empty cliff side again, emphasizing the absence of the city. A narration box then shifts the time and place: "Half a year later, North Blue, Lvneel Kingdom". A large execution platform is shown erected in the center of the kingdom's capital, surrounded by a massive crowd. Page 7: Noland is on trial. A narration box announces, "NOLAND'S PUBLIC EXECUTION IS STARTING!" Noland, looking bruised and battered but resolute, speaks firmly to the crowd, "6 YEARS AGO, ON THE ISLAND OF JAYA IN GRAND LINE, I SAW AN IMMENSE GOLDEN CITY. I SOLEMNLY SWEAR THE CITY OF GOLD EXISTS." The massive crowd murmurs in uncertainty. An official announces, "We now call to the stand one of the sailors who accompanied Noland's voyage 6 years ago." The official asks the sailor, "Tell us. Are Noland's claims, True...?" The sailor coldly replies, "No. They are but bold-faced lies." The crowd erupts in shock and anger. People in the crowd yell, "What!? So Noland was... Nothing but a liar!?" "Then... Were all of his stories until now... Also lies!?" "THAT SCOUNDREL! HOW DARE HE DECEIVE THE WHOLE COUNTRY AND PLAY A FALSE HERO!"
