## One Piece Chapter 430, pages 10-12: The Light Falling Snow of Reminiscence - Chapter: 430 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Iceburg, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Going Merry, Nico Robin, Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Sogeking, Tony Tony Chopper, Franky, Kokoro, Chimney, Gonbe, Usopp ### Summary Page 10: Iceburg asks, "THEN, ARE YOU GUYS READY?" The crew falls silent. Nami can only answer, "YEAH." Luffy stands with a torch and calls the ship by name: "MERRY." He says, "THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA IS DARK AND LONELY. WE'LL SEE YOU OFF HERE!!" The little ship bobs beside the large Galley-La vessel, and the farewell becomes real. They will not abandon Merry to sink unseen; they will send her off themselves. Page 11: Merry burns on the sea while the crew watches from a small boat. Someone worries, "MAYBE IT'S FOR THE BEST THAT USOPP... ISN'T AROUND..." because there is no way he could endure this. Zoro asks, "AND WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT? HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT..." and Sogeking answers, "A TIME OF SEPARATION HAS COME. WHEN MEN PART WAYS... TEARS SHOULD NOT BE SHED. HE'S FULLY PREPARED FOR THIS MOMENT." The words are brave, but the flames crackle. Luffy tells the ship, "THANK YOU FOR CARRYING US ALL THIS TIME... MERRY." Page 12: Ash drifts through the air like pale flakes. Nami catches it in her hand and whispers, "IT'S SNOWING." The chapter turns the falling ash into memories: the day the "GOING MERRY" was completed, Usopp shouting "CARAVEL!!" and "UWOOO!"; the crew working together, someone saying, "LOOK! THE MERRY IS SO SCRATCHED UP!!" and another insisting, "EVERYONE NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER TO STEER HER!!" Usopp tries to fire the cannon and says, "I'M TRYING TO GET A FEEL OF THE CANNON. IT'S HERE, AFTER ALL." Luffy snaps, "IDIOT, LET ME DO IT." Through those flashes, the ship's voice says, "I... I'M SORRY."
