Luffy, Nami ### Summary Page 20: Gaimon declares confidently, "My eyes were never wrong! I'm very sure that there's a lot of treasure in that large rock hill! But I've been stuck in this chest! I've only been able to protect the treasure these past 20 years! That treasure is all mine!" Luffy nods and says, "Uh! That's right! Those are yours, uncle!" Nami enthusiastically offers, "Okay! Gaimon-san!! We'll help you bring down those treasures!" Gaimon is touched and says, "What? Is that true? That's very nice! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Luffy looks at Nami and asks, "Aren't you a professional thief that steals treasure from pirates?" Nami yells back, "Don't speak nonsense! I have principles too!" Page 21: Luffy, Nami, and Gaimon stand before the massive, steep rock hill. A large "DO---N" sound effect emphasizes its size. Gaimon says, "This is it... It's been a long time... Since the last time I came here." Luffy asks, "But why haven't you asked anyone to help you before?" Gaimon explains, "Because I don't trust anybody! And anyone who sees me like this wouldn't believe me anyway. Damn! Damn! The treasure is just up there, but I... I've waited for this moment so long, today is the happiest day of my life!" Page 22: Nami encourages Luffy, "Okay... Go for it!" Luffy asks, "You want me to go up there?" Nami replies, "Of course! Do you think that I can climb this?" Gaimon adds, "I'm counting on you, Straw-hat kid!" Luffy agrees, "Okay..." Luffy stretches his arms high up the rock face with a "STREEETCH" sound effect, grabbing the top edge. Gaimon watches in awe, exclaiming, "OOHHH!!" Luffy then launches himself upward with a "BASHYU!" sound effect, flying toward the top of the hill. Nami watches him go and says, "Wow!!"
