## One Piece Chapter 22, pages 18-19: YOU ARE A RARE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL TOO - Chapter: 22 - Pages: 18-19 - Characters: Gaimon, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 18: The flashback continues. Gaimon climbs a steep, rocky hill, panting "HUFF HUFF". He narrates, "We only searched around this area in these three weeks... But, nobody has ever climbed up there..." He reaches the top and looks over the edge. He says, "I couldn't believe what I saw with my own eyes..." At the top, he sees several treasure chests lined up. He exclaims, "It's here! I've found it!" In his excitement, he slips and falls backward off the cliff. He yells, "Hey, everybody... Way-aaaaa!" He plummets down and lands perfectly inside an empty treasure chest at the bottom. He narrates, "By the time I woke up, I was already stuck in this chest..." Page 19: The flashback shows Gaimon, now stuck in the chest, crawling desperately toward the shore with "SHA SHA" sound effects. He cries out, "AAAAAAA..." as he sees his pirate ship sailing away in the distance. He narrates, "I struggled, crawling to the shore, but my companions had left me. They... they left me behind." He tries to climb the rock hill again but fails, sliding down with a "KALA-" sound. He realizes, "Wait! That means that... this treasure is all mine! This is very good! I can't climb, unless I leave this chest... Lemme out! Lemme out!" He screams, "Everyone, come back!!" Back in the present, Luffy asks, "No one came to this island in the past 20 years?" Gaimon replies, "Yes! People came... There were many times... They were all pirates looking for the treasure, but I used the 'Forest Judgement' to scare them all away!"
