## One Piece Chapter 240: DIAL ENERGY - Chapter: 240 - Pages: 0-16 - Characters: Wapol, fleeing citizens, Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Nico Robin, Conis, Pagaya, Chopper, Nami, Su ### Summary Page 0: The cover page shows Wapol with his mouth wide open, eating an entire town building. Citizens are fleeing in panic as debris flies everywhere. The text reads "WAPOL'S EATING Vol. 5 'AT ANY TIME, EVEN TOWNS CAN BE MY SNACK.'" Page 1: Luffy is standing on a Waver, looking down at the pedal. He asks, "Accelerator? This? Just step on this, right?" He presses his foot down on the pedal. Suddenly, the Waver shoots forward across the cloud sea with a loud explosion of speed. Luffy is thrown back, clinging to the handlebars as he flies through the air, screaming, "WAAAA AAAAA AAAAA AAAH". He yells, "IT'S MOVING!!" as the Waver crashes back down into the clouds, creating a massive splash. Page 2: The Waver shakes violently as it speeds across the cloud sea. Luffy struggles to hold on, yelling, "WHY IS IT SHAKING SO MUCH...!!? I CAN'T STOP!!!" Usopp watches from the shore, cheering, "WOW!! HE DID IT!!!" Luffy continues to panic, shouting, "UGAH!?" and "YAH! WAH! HABABAH!!?" as the Waver bounces erratically. Suddenly, the Waver flips over completely. Usopp observes, "PRETTY BIG FLIPS, TOO!" and then notes, "IT FLIPPED." Zoro reacts with a shocked "EEEK!!" The Waver sinks into the clouds with a "GURGLE" sound. Usopp says, "NO GOOD, HUH?" and "HE SANK." On the beach, Sanji calmly remarks, "WELL, THIS PLACE IS DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL SEAS, RIGHT? HE MAY ACTUALLY FLOAT." Nico Robin ponders, "I WONDER WHAT'LL HAPPEN TO THOSE WITH DEVIL FRUIT ABILITIES IN THIS SEA OF CLOUD..." Conis looks distressed, saying, "OH NO... I'M SO SORRY. IT'S MY FAULT FOR LETTING HIM BORROW MY WAVER." and asks, "OH NO! IS HE HURT!!?" Page 3: Sanji dives into the cloud sea to rescue Luffy. Usopp yells, "WHY DID YOU JUMP DOWN TOO!!?" Conis apologizes profusely, "NO, IT'S MY FAULT FOR LENDING MY WAVER TO A BEGINNER. I'M VERY SORRY." Sanji drags a waterlogged Luffy back onto the beach, scolding him, "IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID BABBLING!!" Usopp remarks, "THAT WAS CLOSE!! HE ALMOST SANK ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM!!" Sanji notices something strange, saying, "MY FEET...ONE OF THEM PASSED THROUGH THE CLOUD..." Pagaya explains the difficulty of riding a Waver: "SO EVEN THE SMALLEST WAVE CAN CAUSE IT TO TURN. IN ORDER TO FULLY UTILIZE THE POWER, THE HULLS OF THE WAVERS ARE MADE VERY LIGHT. THUS, ONE MUST UNDERSTAND THE SEA VERY WELL AND BE ABLE TO PREDICT THE WAVES. I'M SORRY!!" Usopp asks, "IS IT REALLY THAT HARD!? I WANTED TO TRY IT--" Conis adds, "I'VE BEEN PRACTICING SINCE I WAS A CHILD, AND I ONLY SUCCEEDED RECENTLY." Pagaya notes, "WITH TRAINING, IT TAKES ABOUT 10 YEARS TO LEARN." Usopp is shocked by this, exclaiming, "THAT'S A LONG TIME!! YOU'D NEED A LOT OF PATIENCE!!" Suddenly, a voice calls out from the sea, "HEY--!!" Page 4: Out on the cloud sea, Nami is riding the Waver with perfect balance and ease. She smiles and says, "THIS IS AWESOME--<3" Usopp's jaw drops in shock as he yells, "SHE'S RIDING IT!!!" Conis is equally amazed, saying, "WHAT...!! UNBELIEVABLE...!!!" Sanji swoons with heart eyes, cheering, "NAMI-SAN, YOU'RE THE BEST--<3" Luffy is furious and confused, shouting, "WHY!? HOW IS SHE ABLE TO DO IT!?" Usopp explains to him, "CONTROLLING THIS REALLY REQUIRES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SKILL. IT'S TOO DELICATE FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU, LUFFY!!" Luffy ignores him and yells out to Nami, "HEY, NAMI!! WE'RE GOING TO THE MISTER'S HOUSE! COME BACK NOW!!" Usopp joins in, yelling, "STUPID~~~!!" Luffy continues, "HURRY UP AND COME BACK, STU~~PID~~" Sanji angrily kicks Luffy in the head, muttering, "WHY YOU..." Nami calls back to them from the Waver, "YOU GUYS GO AHEAD!! MISTER, CAN I PLAY A LITTLE LONGER!?" Pagaya happily replies, "YES, PLEASE, BUT BE CAREFUL!!" Page 5: Nami continues to speed across the cloud sea on the Waver, looking thrilled. She thinks to herself, "IT'S LIKE I'M IN A DREAM! THERE ACTUALLY EXISTS SUCH A BOAT THAT CAN SAIL FREELY WITHOUT WIND!! I WONDER IF THIS WORKS ON NORMAL SEAS...!? I REALLY WISH I COULD BRING A WAVER BACK WITH US!!" Back on the shore, Usopp remarks, "THE ONE THAT LUFFY BROUGHT BACK WAS BROKEN FOR SURE." Conis is still in awe, wondering, "...HOW CAN SHE NAVIGATE IT SO EASILY WHEN IT SHAKES SO BADLY?" Meanwhile, Luffy is biting into the cloud stairs leading up to Pagaya's house. Sanji notices and asks, "LUFFY, WHAT'RE YOU DOING? WE'RE" Luffy replies with his mouth full of cloud, "BUT IT LOOKS SO~~ FUN...!!" Sanji angrily kicks Luffy in the back of the head, yelling, "SINK!" and asks, "ARE YOU A KID!?" Page 6: The crew walks up the long, winding cloud staircase. Luffy, holding his mouth, complains to Sanji, "OUCH!! I BIT MY TONGUE, SANJI~~!!" Sanji bluntly replies, "BITE HARDER!!" Luffy then points ahead and says, "HEY, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT OF CONSTRUCTION SITE ON THE OTHER SIDE!!" Usopp looks over and asks, "OH? W...
