## One Piece Chapter 162, pages 6-7: Adventure in the Country of Sand - Chapter: 162 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Vivi, Sanji, Nami, Zoro ### Summary Page 6: Luffy reaches the shade of some large rock formations and drops the heavy luggage with a thud. He slumps against the bags, sighing in relief, "FINALLY, A SHADE! AWWW... IT FEELS GREAT!". As he rests, he notices a group of birds lying motionless on the ground nearby. He looks closer, "Hmm?". Luffy suddenly turns and runs back out into the sun towards the rest of the crew. Usopp sees him coming and asks, "Huh? Why's he running back here?". Luffy waves his arms and yells, "GUYS, COME QUICK!". He reaches them, panting, and says, "There're some injured birds over here! Chopper! You've gotta help them!". Chopper immediately agrees, "O-okay, I'll be right there!". Vivi, however, looks alarmed and realizes something. "INJURED BIRDS? COULD IT BE...?". She yells out, "NO, LUFFY! WAIT!". Page 7: Luffy stands in the shade of the rocks, looking shocked. He yells, "AGHH! OUR STUFF IS ALL GONE!". The spot where he left the luggage is completely empty. He adds, "AND ALL THE BIRDS THAT WERE HERE JUST A MOMENT AGO ARE GONE TOO!". Vivi explains the situation to the dismayed crew: "Those were swindle-herons. They trick passing travellers to steal their luggage for food and water." Nami sighs, "It's my fault for not warning you earlier...". Usopp is furious, yelling, "HERONS PRETENDING TO BE HURT...!? WHAT A FLOCK OF SWINDLERS!". Sanji calmly notes, "Yes, Hence the name." An editor's note at the bottom explains that "heron" in Japanese is a homonym with "swindle", explaining Sanji's comment.
