Marines shout, "IT'S A SHIP!!! BASED ON THE FLAG, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SHIP OF THE STRAWHATS!!!" No one understands how it slipped among the warships, and they ask, "WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING!!? THERE'S NO WAY THEY CAN SURVIVE BY JUMPING INTO THE OCEAN...!!" When someone demands, "SHALL WE FIRE AT IT!!?" another stops him: "NO, NICO ROBIN IS THERE!!" The ship that came to save them has become a target, but Robin's presence freezes the first trigger. Page 2: The Straw Hats and their allies crash onto Merry's deck, shouting, "HURRY!!" and "MERRY!!!" Relief bursts out everywhere: "MERRY IS ALIVE!!!" Kokoro laughs, "THERE, GET ONBOARD, DF USERS!! NGAGA-GAGA!!" while others cheer, "IT'S MERRY! IT'S MERRY!!" and "WHOOO!! I LOVE MERRY AFTER ALL!!" Franky can only stare, amazed that the ship was already tossed into the ocean. Someone wonders, "WHO STEERED HER HERE?" but there is no time for that. Luffy surfaces, gasping, "BHA!! THAT WAS CLOSE. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GET KILLED BY THE WARSHIPS!!" Then he turns to Robin: "HEY! ROBIN! YOU SAVED ME. THAN-" and the moment tangles into the chaos of everyone scrambling aboard. Page 3: The crew gathers on the deck of the ship that came back for them. Franky calls, "NOW, LEAVE EVERYTHING TO US!!" and the others answer, "EVERYONE!!" Robin, bruised and overwhelmed, finally says the words she survived long enough to say: "THANK YOU." Around her, the Straw Hats answer with joy instead of speeches: Chopper cries out, Luffy laughs "SHISHISHI!!" and Sanji melts into a delighted "HEE HEE!!" They have Robin back, and Merry is carrying them again.
