## One Piece Chapter 328, pages 8-10: CHAPTER 328: THE PIRATE KIDNAPPING INCIDENT - Chapter: 328 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Iceburg, Kaku, Paulie, Kalifa ### Summary Page 8: At Dock 1, Luffy is shocked and yells, "WHY!!? YOU CAN'T FIX GOING MERRY!!?" Iceburg stands calmly in front of them. Nami asks incredulously, "Aren't you the best ship repairmen in the world!!?" Luffy holds up two briefcases full of money and insists, "If it's money that you want, I have lots!!" Kaku, standing nearby, replies, "That's... not the problem. The ship cannot be repaired no matter how much money you have." Page 9: Nami asks, "What do you mean? What's wrong with Going Merry?" Kaku sits down and says, "It's already a miracle that you sailed here safely with that ship... I'm really impressed about that..." Paulie, smoking a cigar, asks Nami, "Do you know what keel is, shameless girl? It's on the bottom of the ship..." Iceburg confirms, "Correct. It's the support that goes from the head to the tail of the ship. It's the most important part of the entire ship." Paulie explains further, "When you build a ship, you have to start with the keel... Then the head, the tail, the spine... The rib, the pillar... Every piece of wood in the ship is put together with the keel at the center. That is the basics of ship construction." Page 10: Paulie continues his explanation, "The keel at the center of the ship is the 'lifeline' of the ship... If the keel is broken, you can't just take it off and put in a new one. Replacing the keel is the same as building a whole new ship!!" In the background, workers are busy moving supplies. Paulie concludes, "Thus, no one can 'repair' your ship. Your ship is... nothing more than a pile of wood waiting to be scrapped." Nami yells angrily at him, "Hey... HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!!?" Paulie calmly replies, "I'm only... telling the truth."
