## One Piece Chapter 22, pages 14-15: YOU ARE A RARE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL TOO - Chapter: 22 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Gaimon, flashback pirates ### Summary Page 14: Nami continues explaining the map, pointing to the intersecting lines. "Using the city of 'Red Line' as the centre, draw a line around the world across the opposite way. And that is the 'Grand Line'!" She adds, "In history, only the Pirate King Gold Roger has conquered this route! Also, it is the most dangerous route!" Luffy grins and says, "'One Piece' is surely in that place! That means we need to sail around the world!" Gaimon scolds them, "Idiots! That place is not that easy to find! It also has another name... 'The Pirate's Graveyard'..." Gaimon looks serious as he recalls, "Long ago, I saw pirates......that returned from the 'Grand Line'..." Page 15: A flashback panel shows a group of battered, exhausted, and terrified pirates walking away from their damaged ship. Gaimon narrates, "Everyone of them had lost their spirit and looked as if they were dead. Their facial expressions were even more painful to look at... It looked like they had met something horrid, maybe a dreadful pirate or perhaps a monster." Back in the present, Gaimon continues, "Nobody dared to talk about it... You could see from their look, the horror of the 'Grand Line'!" He adds, "I have no other proof than this, the rumors only made it more and more mysterious! It's already been more than 20 years since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era... That treasure might be nothing more than legend."
