## One Piece Chapter 648, pages 3-5: The Path Towards the Sun - Chapter: 648 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Sea Kings, Shirahoshi, Monkey D. Luffy, Noah, Fishman Island, Neptune, Silvers Rayleigh, Thousand Sunny ### Summary Page 3: The Sea Kings warn Shirahoshi that the air bubble around Noah is being absorbed into the island. "Look down - the bubble is being absorbed into the island. You should go to him. A human cannot survive in the ocean depths..." Luffy is carried out from the broken ship, blood streaming from his wounds, and Shirahoshi cries, "Luffy-sama!!!" Then the bubble gives way with a violent rush, and she sees Luffy falling toward the water. She reaches for him with a desperate "Oh, no!" as the voices' warning becomes immediate. Page 4: The Sea Kings notice something uncanny about Luffy. One asks, "Was I imagining things...?" Another answers, "Hmm?" and then says of "that human with the hat," "He seemed to notice our voices." They can hardly accept it: "It can't be..." Below, Neptune hears something too and shouts, "Who's that muttering out there in these deep waters?!!" On the Sunny, Rayleigh is mentioned as well: "Rayleigh!! Did you hear those voices just now?!" Someone snaps, "What are you talking about? We're in the depths of the ocean... it's deathly quiet!!" The Sea Kings recall, "I remember something similar happened not so long ago..." and another confirms, "So it did, so it did..." Page 5: The Sea Kings begin carrying Noah away. The citizens stare upward and scream, "Sea Kings?!!!" and "They're carrying the Noah!!!" Others panic, "They're gonna eat us all up!!!" The Sea Kings discuss the ship's terrible state: "The ship is in a terrible state... D'you think it can be fixed? Is it still usable?" Another answers, "Who knows..." Their hope rests on craftsmen: "Our only hope is the skills of that clan... but times have changed." One still says, "Can it really be fixed? I sure hope it can... before the promised time comes..."
