"GAHH!" "IT'S COLD!" "OWWW!" "MNNF!" "OOF!" The deflated octopus lands in the water next to the ship. Chopper calls out, "Nami! Robin! Are you okay!?" Nami, panting, says, "Hah... Hah... That was a shock! Who knew the octopus would shrink so suddenly...?" Robin suggests, "Perhaps it ran out of air..." Luffy lies on the deck, laughing in relief. "Haa... Even so... We managed to get down alive... Thanks, little guy!" Page 11: The Going Merry bobs gently on the blue sea. Someone observes, "The sea... Is blue... Is everyone fine?"
