## One Piece Chapter 292, pages 3-5: To Meet, like the Half Moon Hidden by Clouds - Chapter: 292 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Montblanc Noland, King of Lvneel, Royal Troops ### Summary 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!" Page 4: The battered ship finally arrives at an island. A sign in the corner reads "Marine calendar, Year 1127, November 16th." The King, looking out eagerly from the deck surrounded by his exhausted troops, asks, "Is that the island, Noland!?" Noland smiles confidently, "Yes, Most definitely, your majesty!" However, as the perspective shifts to show what they are looking at, the shore is just a sheer, barren cliff face. A small, familiar house sits alone on the edge of the cliff, but the lush jungle and the golden city of Shandora are nowhere to be seen. A large, jagged "!!?" speech bubble expresses the collective shock of the crew as they stare at the empty landscape where the other half of Jaya should be. Page 5: Noland is shown kneeling on the barren ground near the edge of the cliff, staring out at the sea in utter disbelief. He mutters to himself, "WHY...? WHY DOES THE ISLAND MEET THE SEA HERE...?" Behind him, the King's face is shown in an extreme close-up, contorted in absolute, terrifying fury. He screams at the top of his lungs, "NOLAAAAANNND! YOU DECEIVED ME, DIDN'T YOU!? JUST WHERE IS THIS CITY OF GOLD SUPPOSED TO BE!?" The King's rage is palpable, depicted with heavy shading and jagged speech bubbles, while Noland remains frozen in shock, unable to comprehend the missing land.
