## One Piece Chapter 23, pages 0-2: CAPTAIN USOPP ENTERS - Chapter: 23 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Monkey D. Luffy, Frog, Nami ### Summary Page 0: The title page displays "CHAPTER 23" and the title "CAPTAIN USOPP ENTERS". The illustration shows a large frog wearing round glasses, a small hat with an umbrella on top, and a Hawaiian shirt, standing on a giant lily pad. The frog is using a wooden mallet to hammer the lid onto a large wooden barrel. Roronoa Zoro sits on the lily pad, holding the barrel steady with both hands. In the background, Monkey D. Luffy walks across another lily pad, carrying a large wooden mallet over his shoulder. Tall reeds and grass surround them. Page 1: Two small sailboats travel across the open ocean. The leading boat has a pirate flag with a skull and crossbones. Nami looks forward with a serious expression, accompanied by a large "DO--N" sound effect. She declares, "WE NEED TO PLAN THINGS MORE!" Luffy sits casually on the edge of the boat, looking back at her. He asks, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" The back of Nami's head is visible as she asks, "ARE WE GOING TO THE 'GRAND LINE' LIKE THIS?" Luffy smiles and replies, "OH, THAT'S RIGHT! ALTHOUGH UNCLE CABBAGE GAVE US PLENTY OF FRUITS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY MEAT ON THIS SHIP!" Nami angrily yells back, "I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FOOD SUPPLIES!" Page 2: Zoro lies back in the boat, arms behind his head, complaining, "AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY SAKE TO DRINK EITHER! HOW BORING!" Nami yells at him, her face drawn in a comical, exasperated style, "LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF FOOD AND DRINK FIRST!" Nami then points her finger upward, explaining, "THE PLACE WE'RE GOING, THE 'GRAND LINE' IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE WORLD! EVERY PIRATE IN THIS WORLD WISHES TO GET THE TREASURE THERE, SO WE NEED TO GET A BETTER SHIP FIRST!" A small translator note reads: "THE EVIL BUNNY SAYS: REAL PIRATES DRINK RUM! (OR GROG), BUT ODA-SENSEI (THE MANGAKA) PREFERS TO USE SAKE IN ONE PIECE". Nami rests her chin on her hand, thinking, "WE'RE ALSO SHORT ON CREW MEMBERS AND THIS SHIP DOESN'T HAVE ANY EQUIPMENT. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, WE CAN'T POSSIBLY BE SAFE!" Another note says: "NOTE: FROM NOW ON, 'THE EVIL BUNNY' WILL PROVIDE THE INFO CORNERS FOR THIS MANGA ^_^: YOROSHIKU!". Luffy asks, "OH! WHAT DO WE DO THEN?" Nami, looking at a map, replies, "WE HAVE TO PREPARE FIRST, AND PLAN FOR THE JOURNEYS AHEAD. THERE'S A VILLAGE DUE NORTH. WE SHOULD GO THERE FIRST!" Luffy grins widely and says, "FIRST THING TO DO WHEN WE GET THERE IS LOOK FOR A BETTER SHIP! AND EAT SOME MEAT!" Nami sits in the background, looking exhausted by his priorities.
