## One Piece Chapter 168, pages 1-3: The Town of Dreams, Rainbase - Chapter: 168 - Pages: 1-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, Nami, Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Nefertari Vivi ### Summary Page 1: The page opens with a view of the vast desert dunes. Narration boxes read, "The sun sets and rises again." and "Time remaining before Operation Utopia: 1 hour." In the next panel, a large, opulent city is visible in the distance, nestled among the dunes. A voice says, "I see it!" and another adds, "That must be Rainbase!" A group of figures and a camel are seen walking across the sand towards the city. Someone exclaims, "We're finally here!?" Page 2: Luffy throws his arms up and yells excitedly, "ALRIIIIIGHT! TIME TO KICK CROCODILE'S ASS!" Usopp, walking alongside the camel, tells him, "You guys are so noisy..." while Luffy continues to shout "WADUH! (Water!)". Nami turns to Usopp and asks, "Are you done with that thing I asked for?" Usopp replies, "Oh, that's right. Hey Usopp, That thing? Oh yeah, it's finished." He pulls out a new weapon, presenting it to Nami. "Here! This is your new weapon! The 'Clima-Tact!'" The weapon consists of three blue poles. Usopp explains, "Right. It might not look like it, but your staff's been completely overhauled! Its attacks change depending on how you assemble the individual parts!" Page 3: Sanji strikes a dramatic pose, holding his cigarette, and declares, "BECAUSE I'LL PROTECT THEM AT ALL TIMES! If Nami and Vivi don't want to fight, then they don't need to... Just call me, 'Prince,' ladies!" Zoro, looking annoyed, retorts, "I SAID ONLY THE LADIES! Prince." Sanji glares back at him. Vivi, riding the camel, brings up a concern: "By the way, does B.W. know we're currently in the country?" Sanji replies, "...Yes, most likely." Vivi continues, "Not only did we run across Mr. 2, but Mr. 3's also somewhere in the country. So I can't imagine B.W. would still be in the dark." Luffy and Nami listen attentively. Nami adds, "So what if they know? Well if they know our faces, we can't take any overt actions."
