## One Piece Chapter 323, pages 9-10: The City of Water, Water Seven - Chapter: 323 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Nico Robin, Tony Tony Chopper, Sanji, Luffy, unidentified man on shore, Nami, Usopp, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 9: The Going Merry navigates through the city's intricate waterways. The buildings are constructed directly into the water, with canals serving as streets. Voices from the crew express their amazement: 'WOW! WATER SEVEN IS SO COOL!!' 'THIS CITY IS THE BEST!!' 'EVERYTHING'S FLOATING ON WATER...!! EVEN THE HOUSES...' Robin, Chopper, Sanji, and Luffy observe the architecture. Robin corrects them, 'THAT'S NOT IT. THIS CITY IS JUST BUILT ON A SUNKEN ISLAND. LOOK CLOSELY AT THE BASE OF THE BUILDINGS.' Chopper looks confused, uttering a question mark. Sanji notices the structures and says, 'WOW! PILLARS!!' Luffy, laughing with his mouth wide open, realizes, 'I SEE... THAT'S WHY IT'S THE CITY OF WATER... YEAH! LET'S GO FIND SHIP MECHANICS!!' Page 10: A muscular man on the shore yells out to the approaching pirate ship, 'HEY! YOU CAN'T ANCHOR YOUR SHIP THERE!! WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR? ROBBERY?' Nami's voice calls back from the ship, 'NO. WE JUST WANT TO FIX OUR SHIP.' The man points and instructs, 'HEAD THAT WAY UNTIL YOU SEE A SMALL PENINSULA. YOU CAN ANCHOR THERE.' Nami replies, 'OK. THANK YOU.' Usopp mutters nervously, 'DID HE JUST ASK IF WE WANT TO ROB HIM...?' The Going Merry follows the directions, sailing towards a rocky peninsula with a large wooden crane structure. Nami says, 'OK. PULL UP THE SAIL! I THINK THIS IS IT...' On the deck, Zoro angrily yells at Usopp, 'HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STUPID!!' Usopp, holding a broken piece of rigging, stammers, 'UH... I JUST TUGGED ON IT A LITTLE BIT...' Zoro sighs, 'THAT'S SURP-RISING... I DIDN'T THINK "GOING MERRY" IS IN SUCH A BAD SHAPE...' Nami looks around the city and wonders, 'WHY AREN'T THE PEOPLE HERE AFRAID OF THE PIRATES?' Sanji explains, 'THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE PIRATES ONLY COME HERE FOR REPAIRS. MAYBE THEY HAVE VERY STRONG GUYS TO FIGHT ANY PIRATES IF NECESSARY...' Robin agrees, 'NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. THERE MUST BE STRONG GUYS EVERYWHERE IN A BIG CITY LIKE THIS.'
