## One Piece Chapter 224, pages 11-13: Stop Dreamin'! - Chapter: 224 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Nami, Luffy, Zoro, unidentified patrons, Bellamy ### Summary Page 11: A massive two-page spread captures the entire bar erupting into uproarious, uncontrollable laughter. The silence is broken by a deafening roar of mockery. Patrons are throwing their heads back, clutching their stomachs, and pointing at Nami, Luffy, and Zoro. Mugs of beer are spilled, chairs are tipped over, and people are literally rolling on the floor in hysterics. Huge sound effects of laughter fill the air: "GAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA!" "AHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA!" In the center of the chaos, Nami, Luffy, and Zoro stand frozen. Nami looks incredibly embarrassed and confused, while Luffy and Zoro just look bewildered by the extreme reaction. Page 12: Bellamy is laughing so hard he has to hold his stomach, tears forming in his eyes. "SK... PFFT! SKY ISLAND, SHE SAID! HAHA HAHA HAHA! STOP! YER KILLIN' ME!" Nami, her face flushed red with embarrassment and anger, yells back, "W-what's the big idea!? Our log pose is pointing straight up at the sky!" The other patrons continue to mock them mercilessly. Zoro glares at the laughing crowd. Nami stammers, trying to defend herself over the noise, "B-B-BUT OUR LLLLLLOOG POOOOSE IS POINTIN' STRAIGHT UP AT THE SKYYYYYY...!" Bellamy wipes a tear from his eye and laughs, "AHAHA HAHA HAHA! LOG POSES SCREW UP ALL THE TIME!" The crowd echoes his laughter, "Hahahaha hahaha...!" Nami looks completely flustered. Page 13: Bellamy finally calms down, sitting back on a stool and wiping his eyes. "Whoo, boy. You sure surprised me. Just where the hell did you hicks come from?" He looks at them with a mix of pity and amusement. "You seriously believe in an old legend like that? About an island floating in the sky...!?" The crowd continues to chuckle, "Hahaha! What ERA are you from...!?" Bellamy begins to explain, "Grand Line's bizarre ocean currents are being explained one by one these days. The 'knock-up stream' is one such phenomenon." He smirks at Zoro and Nami. "But I bet you three hicks don't even know about the knock-up stream... Ships that get hit by the knock-up stream are blasted high up into the sky." He continues his lecture, "But for the sailors who had no idea about the phenomenon, all they saw were ships and wreckages falling from the sky. So they imagined a whole other world up in the clouds, on islands floating in the sky!" Luffy listens silently, his face bruised from the earlier attack. Bellamy concludes, "What a bunch of simpletons! There's always a logical reason for phenomena! All fanciful reasons for dreams can be explained away!"
