## One Piece Chapter 229, pages 2-3: Let's Eat - Chapter: 229 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Mont Blanc Cricket, Usopp, Luffy, Nami, Chopper ### Summary Page 2: Cricket points out toward the ocean, explaining, "There's a phenomenon that occurs in the seas around this region, When day suddenly turns into night." Usopp, Luffy, and Nami react with sudden realization. Usopp shouts, "YEAH! NOT ONLY DID IT SUDDENLY BECOME NIGHT, BUT MONSTERS APPEARED TOO!" Luffy agrees, "RIGHT!?" Nami adds, "AHH! THERE IS! THAT'S TRUE FOR SURE!" Cricket continues his explanation, "Ah yes, the giants. There's a theory on where they come from, But let's leave that aside for now. In any case, the suddenly occurring 'night,' Is actually the shadow of an extremely dense, towering cloud." A panel shows a massive, dark cloud formation casting a shadow over a small ship on the sea. Page 3: Cricket yells angrily at Usopp and Luffy, who are making dismissive faces. "JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN!" he shouts. Usopp retorts, "Yeah, don't be stupid, mister. If there's lots of clouds out, it's only 'cloudy.'" Luffy and Chopper echo, "Yeah, just cloudy." and "Just cloudy." Nami thinks about it and asks, "But that darkness wasn't something that could have been formed by thick clouds... You mean a cumulonimbus?" Cricket clarifies, "'Emperonimbus.' There's a type of cloud by that name. They stack up high into the sky but don't give rise to any currents nor rain. And when those appear in the sky, They block even the sunlight out, Changing day on land to night." Luffy looks confused as Cricket continues, "One theory states that the emperornimbus clouds have been drifting in the sky for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, All the while never changing, causing some to nickname it a 'cloud fossil.'"
