## One Piece Chapter 22, pages 8-10: YOU ARE A RARE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL TOO - Chapter: 22 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Gaimon ### Summary Page 8: A loud "BANG!!" rings out as a gunshot hits Luffy squarely in the chest. Nami screams, "KYAAAA!!" in terror. The impact stretches Luffy's rubber body backward significantly, with a "GU!!" sound effect as he grunts, "UOH!!" His body then snaps back into place with a "BYONG!!" sound, and he exhales a sharp "HA!!" Nami stares in shock, speechless at first, then stammers, ".......!? Huh...? What a shock! That was a bullet, right? So... bullets don't hurt you!" Luffy, looking a bit frazzled, replies, "Yea, but that surprised me too!" The unseen voice stammers in disbelief, "What... what kind of a thing are you?" Luffy glares in the direction of the voice and retorts, "That's our line!" Page 9: Luffy and Nami look toward the source of the gunshot and see a treasure chest sitting on the ground, with a massive afro of hair sticking out of the top. Luffy points and says, "The bullet was fired from there!" Nami notices a gun lying on the ground nearby and says, "Look! There's a pistol!" Luffy asks, "What's this thing...?" Nami replies, "It doesn't look normal!" Suddenly, with a "DO-N" sound, the chest sprouts legs and starts running away with a "TAP TAP!!" sound effect. Nami exclaims, "Ah! It's moving!" The chest trips over a rock with a "TRIPPED" sound effect, and a voice from inside yells, "GAA!!" Luffy and Nami approach the fallen chest. Luffy looks closely and says, "Wow! It's a man!" The man in the chest demands, "Lift me up!" Nami observes, "What an interesting cauliflower head! Cauliflower man!" Luffy points out, "Why are you so angry? You tripped yourself..." while the man yells angrily, "Hey! Why don't you lift me up?" Page 10: Luffy and Nami sit on the ground near the man stuck in the chest. Luffy explains, "Gomu Gomu fruit... It's a 'Devil's Fruit' right?" Nami adds, "I have heard about that before..." The man in the chest says, "But it is the first time I have met someone who actually ate that kind of fruit." A caption box identifies him as "ISLAND RESIDENT GAIMON". Gaimon continues, "It's the first time I've met someone who's stuck in a treasure chest too." Luffy remarks, "You're like a son in a box." Gaimon replies nostalgically, "Yeah... my parents took care of me when I was still small..." Luffy yells, "Are you an idiot!?" Gaimon angrily explains, "I got stuck in here and I can't get out! I've lived on this island like this for 20 years already! Can't you understand what I've been going through?!?" Nami is shocked and asks, "What? 20 years? Lived on this island by yourself?" Gaimon confirms, "Yes.. 20 years..."
