## One Piece Chapter 22, pages 15-16: YOU ARE A RARE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL TOO - Chapter: 22 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Gaimon, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, flashback pirates ### Summary Page 15: A flashback panel shows a group of battered, exhausted, and terrified pirates walking away from their damaged ship. Gaimon narrates, "Everyone of them had lost their spirit and looked as if they were dead. Their facial expressions were even more painful to look at... It looked like they had met something horrid, maybe a dreadful pirate or perhaps a monster." Back in the present, Gaimon continues, "Nobody dared to talk about it... You could see from their look, the horror of the 'Grand Line'!" He adds, "I have no other proof than this, the rumors only made it more and more mysterious! It's already been more than 20 years since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era... That treasure might be nothing more than legend." Page 16: Gaimon yells, "Can you see now? 'One Piece' is only a dream inside a dream." Luffy smiles and replies, "Is that so? I think that there is a better ending, right?" Gaimon argues, "If a person really found such a treasure, he wouldn't tell anybody! That is what a smart person would do!" Luffy confidently states, "I will surely find the treasure, because I'm always lucky!" Nami sighs and says, "I just can't understand where you get such confidence." Luffy laughs, "It's because I'm not mature!" Gaimon then says, "Now I will tell you, why I can't leave this island..." Luffy asks, "Oh! Why is that?" Gaimon admits, "I don't know how to adapt to the changes in situations!"
