## One Piece Chapter 292, pages 2-3: To Meet, like the Half Moon Hidden by Clouds - Chapter: 292 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Montblanc Noland, King of Lvneel, Advisors, Royal Troops ### Summary 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..." Page 3: Noland warns the King about the perilous journey ahead: "Yes, but... In that case, I must ask your majesty to be prepared to face the harshest of dangers." The King stubbornly replies, "I, too, have decided to personally come aboard. Is that clear? However, you are to leave your former crew behind this time. My royal troops will be taking their place for this voyage." The scene abruptly shifts to a disastrous voyage on the Grand Line. The fleet is battered by massive storms and attacked by giant, terrifying sea monsters. Panic ensues among the inexperienced royal troops. Voices cry out in terror: "NOLAND!" "IT'S A MONSTER! SAVE US!" "ADMIRAL NOLAND!" "THE SAIL'S BEEN TORN APART FROM THE WINDS!" "SHIP NO. 3 IS MISSING! IT MUST HAVE VEERED OFF COURSE!" "ICEBERG UP AHEAD! THE RUDDER WON'T MOVE!" "ADMIRAL NOLAND!" "NOLAND!" "NOLAND, WHAT DO WE DO!?" "ARE WE STILL NOT THERE YET!?" Noland is shown gritting his teeth in intense frustration and stress, thinking, "DAMN LANDLUBBERS! I KNEW THOSE SOLDIERS COULDN'T HANDLE THIS VOYAGE...! AT THE VERY LEAST, I HAVE TO PROTECT THE SHIP HIS MAJESTY IS SAILING ON!"
