## One Piece Chapter 292, pages 1-2: To Meet, like the Half Moon Hidden by Clouds - Chapter: 292 - Pages: 1-2 - Characters: Montblanc Noland, Townspeople, King of Lvneel, Advisors ### Summary Page 1: A flashback begins with a narration box: "In a certain kingdom in North Blue, There lived a man named Montblanc Noland." Noland, a man with a distinctive chestnut-shaped growth on his head, is shown smiling broadly. He walks cheerfully through a quaint town, carrying a newspaper. Townspeople greet him warmly: "Morning, Mr. Noland!" and "Good morning!" Another narration box notes, "The townspeople had no idea whether Noland's tales were truth or were fiction." Noland is then seen sitting on a log in a snowy landscape, surrounded by a large group of excited children and some adults. One child asks, "Tell us the story about the country of dwarves!" Noland smiles and replies, "Sure, why not. It was back when I was still-" The narration continues, "Noland the explorer was always speaking of his great adventures so grand and unbelievable they seemed like lies." The scene shifts to a bustling port where a large, majestic ship arrives. People on the docks cheer, "It's Noland's ship!" and "Welcome back, Noland!" The narration states, "One day, upon returning from another voyage, Noland reported to the king thus:" The King of Lvneel, looking eager and wide-eyed, says, "Tell us more of your stories!" Page 2: Noland stands before the King of Lvneel, gesturing grandly with both hands as he passionately describes his discoveries. He says, "Its name is Shandora, and if there ever were a city of gold, it surely refers to this city!" The King and his advisors listen with wide-eyed amazement, their eyes literally sparkling with greed and wonder. A narration box transitions the story forward: "5 years later, Lvneel Kingdom". The King, now looking serious and authoritative, tells Noland, "Marie Joie has granted us permission to enter the Grand Line. As such, I wish to appoint you the admiral of our next exploration fleet." Noland, bowing respectfully with a confident smile, replies, "I humbly accept the post, your majesty..."
