## One Piece Chapter 230, pages 8-10: Catch the Southbird! - Chapter: 230 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Montblanc Cricket, Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 8: Cricket points intensely, his face looming large, and commands, "YOU BETTER HAVE CAUGHT ONE SOUTHBIRD, BY THE TIME THE SUN RISES...!" The scene shifts to the Straw Hat crew standing at the edge of a dense, dark forest. The trees are massive, towering over them. Luffy, holding a bug net, says, "WHOA... IT'S PITCH BLACK IN HERE!" Usopp, trembling and holding onto Sanji, whines, "Ughh... I think I ate too much..." Sanji tells him, "Stop holding onto me!" Zoro, carrying a net over his shoulder, says, "Well, let's catch this thing quickly so we can go back and drink some more..." Nami, looking nervous, asks, "Why'd things have to come to this all of a sudden!?" Chopper stands nearby, also looking apprehensive. Page 9: Usopp complains loudly, "MAN, WOULD IT HAVE KILLED YA TO TELL US THIS DURING THE DAY!?" Zoro retorts, "If we knew where it exactly was, we wouldn't have all come here looking for it! So where's the bird?" Luffy says, "Our only two hints are its peculiar cry, and that it looks like the gold figure we saw earlier." Usopp asks, "Does a bizarre-looking bird like that really even exist? What do they even mean by a 'peculiar cry?' It's way too vague!" Sanji replies, "Well, he said we'd understand once we entered the forest..." Suddenly, a strange sound echoes through the dark trees: "Jooeee~". The crew stops and listens. Zoro remarks, "What kind of queer-ass cry is that?" Usopp, sweating, confirms, "THAT'S IT FOR SURE..." Page 10: Luffy grins confidently and says, "Alright... Since we have no other choice, let's do this thing! We've got 3 nets, so we'll split up into 3 teams! NOW THEN... IT'S TIME TO KICK THIS BIRD'S ASS!" He, Zoro, and Sanji hold up their bug nets. Usopp nervously reminds him, "Umm... We're here to catch the bird alive, Luffy." A caption box reads: "Shot 1: Team Sanji, Usopp, Nami". The three are shown walking through the dense foliage. Sanji turns to Nami with a charming smile and says, "Don't worry! I'll protect you no matter what pops up in this forest, Nami!" Nami replies flatly, "Yeah, let's catch this bird as soon as possible and get outta here." Usopp yells from behind, "WHAT ABOUT ME, SANJI!?" Sanji snaps back, "Like I give a rat's ass about you! Stop whining and get a move on already!"
