## One Piece Chapter 286, pages 20-21: Demon of Shandora - Chapter: 286 - Pages: 20-21 - Characters: Mont Blanc Noland, Lvneel Kingdom sailors ### Summary Page 20: The scene shifts to another location. A narration box reads, 'Somewhere else on the Grand Line...'. A large exploration ship is shown battling through a fierce storm. The waves are massive, and the sky is dark. The crew is struggling to keep the ship afloat. 'Storm after storm...!' '...Yet still no land in sight.' 'Whirlpools, then snow of all things!' The ship's sail bears the name 'LVNEEL K.D'. On the deck, a sailor reports to his superior, 'R... REPORTING, ADMIRAL! OUR FOOD STORES HAVE RUN OUT AT LAST... WE ARE NOW... IN GRAVE TROUBLE...' Another sailor adds, 'The cook collapsed! Damn it... Is there no food left...?' Suddenly, a voice calls out, 'Wha!?' 'A-' 'ADMIRAL!' 'WHAT'S GOING ON!?' The crew looks shocked as they notice something amiss on the deck, adding to their desperate situation. Page 21: The crew of the Lvneel Kingdom ship is in an uproar. They are gathered at the edge of the deck, looking down into the turbulent sea. 'Our admiral just... Fell into the sea!' 'BUT THIS IS THE GRAND LINE!' 'WAS IT... SUICIDE? DID HE ABANDON US!?' 'ADMIRAL! ADMIRAL!' One sailor speculates, 'Could it be... That he couldn't withstand slowly starving to death and chose death by drowning instead...!?' Another angrily refutes this, 'Don't be stupid! That great man's come back from 2 Grand Line voyages! He's mentally tougher than any of us on board!' A third points out, 'Then why're his shoes and clothes neatly folded and lying here!?' 'S-someone dive in after him!' 'Are you kidding!? There're all kinds of sea monsters lurking here!' 'He's not coming back up...!' Suddenly, a strange shape emerges from the water. 'Huh? A chestnut?' 'A chestnut?' The 'chestnut' is revealed to be the top of a man's head. 'Admiral! Y... You've returned!' The man, Mont Blanc Noland, replies calmly, 'Of course. The thing was much nimbler than I expected... Here. A rope? Pull it up.'
