## One Piece Chapter 101, pages 9-11: REVERSE MOUNTAIN - Chapter: 101 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Monkey D. Luffy, Nami ### Summary Page 9: Sanji and Zoro are frantically rowing the ship with large oars, sweating profusely. Sanji yells, "A.. ALRIGHT... AS SOON AS THIS THING DIVES BACK DOWN INTO THE SEA, START ROWING YOUR ARMS OFF, GOT IT!?" Zoro replies, "AYE AYE!" The giant frog Sea King suddenly inhales and sneezes with a massive "CHOO!" The incredible gust of wind from the sneeze blows the Going Merry away violently. The crew screams as they are thrown around the deck, "WHA-AAAA-AAA!? AGHH! A GIANT FROG IS JUMPING THIS WAY! DON'T GET THROWN OVERBOARD!" Usopp loses his grip and falls off the ship. "USOPP JUST FELL! USOOOO-OOPPPP! AGHH-HHHH!" Page 10: The Going Merry crashes back into the violent, stormy waters, rain pouring down. The crew is sprawled out on the deck, panting and exhausted from the ordeal. Sanji says with relief, "OH THANK GOD... WE'RE BACK IN THE STORM NOW..." Nami asks, "NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE TO USE THE ENTRANCE?" Zoro, lying on his back, replies, "YEAH... UNDERSTOOD..." Nami suddenly has a realization, "AH, I GOT IT...!" Zoro asks, "WHAT?" Nami says, "WE REALLY ARE GOING TO CLIMB UP THE MOUNTAIN!" Usopp complains, "YOU STILL GOING ON ABOUT THAT?" A diagram shows the Red Line and the Grand Line, with currents from the four seas converging on Reverse Mountain. Nami explains her theory, "IT MUST BE DUE TO THE SEA CURRENTS. IF STRONG CURRENTS FROM EACH OF THE FOUR SEAS, WERE TO ALL HEAD TOWARDS THAT MOUNTAIN..." Page 11: Nami continues her explanation, "THEN THEY WOULD DRIVE THE WATER UP THE WATERWAY. AND AT THE VERY TOP, THE CURRENTS WILL MERGE AND COME OUT TO THE GRAND LINE! SINCE WE'RE ALREADY RIDING THE CURRENTS, ALL WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS STEERING PROPERLY." A diagram illustrates the currents flowing up the mountain from the four seas and merging into the Grand Line. Nami adds a grim warning, "REVERSE MOUNTAIN IS A WINTER ISLAND SO THE CURRENTS THAT HIT ITS EDGE WILL TRAVEL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. SO IF WE FAIL TO ENTER THE WATERWAY, WE'LL CRASH AND GET DRAGGED DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. GOT IT?" A diagram shows a ship crashing and sinking. Luffy laughs cluelessly, "SO BASICALLY, YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT'S A MAGIC MOUNTAIN, RIGHT?" Sanji swoons, "I SHOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED YOU TO UNDERSTAND... NAMI, YOU'RE AMAZING! <3" Zoro says, "NEVER HEARD OF A SHIP GOING UP A MOUNTAIN BEFORE." Sanji replies, "I'VE HEARD A BIT." Zoro asks, "ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN?" Sanji clarifies, "NO BUT I'VE HEARD THINGS ABOUT GRAND LINE... SUPPOSEDLY, HALF OF THE PEOPLE DIE JUST TRYING TO GO IN. ENTERING IT IS NO EASY TASK."
