## One Piece Chapter 240, pages 1-3: DIAL ENERGY - Chapter: 240 - Pages: 1-3 - Characters: Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Nico Robin, Conis, Pagaya, Chopper ### Summary 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--!!"
