He is wearing a Marine coat draped over his shoulders and is calmly drinking from a teacup. In the background, down a long arched corridor, several Marines are running in a panic, shouting and pointing. The chapter title is displayed at the top: "Chapter 292 'To Meet, like the Half Moon Hidden by Clouds'". At the bottom, a caption reads: "ACE'S GREAT SEARCH FOR BLACKBEARD VOL. 18 'THE TOP SECRET MARINE INTELLIGENCE SHIP CATCHES ON FIRE'". 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!"
