## One Piece Chapter 236, pages 3-5: Sailing into the Sky - Chapter: 236 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Usopp, Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Zoro, Sanji ### Summary Page 3: The Going Merry is dragged closer to the dark, churning center of the whirlpool. Voices cry out in panic: "AGHHHH! NIGHT'S ALREADY FALLEN ON US!" and "THE WHIRLPOOL'S SUCKING US IN CLOSER AND CLOSER!" Usopp, tears streaming down his face, pleads with his captain, "LUFFY, LET'S TURN BACK! WE MIGHT STILL MAKE IT IF WE TURN AROUND NOW! YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT SEA KING! THAT WHIRLPOOL ALONE WILL KILL US, LET ALONE THE BLAST FROM THE KNOCK-UP STREAM!" Nami agrees, shouting, "SKY ISLAND'S JUST SOME FANTASY AMONG FANTASIES!" Luffy remains silent, looking forward. Nami continues, "A fantasy among fantasies...? You're right! Exactly, Luffy! I think it's impossible too!" Suddenly, Luffy turns around with a massive, thrilled grin on his face. He declares, "AN ADVENTURE ON A FANTASY-ISLAND AMONG FANTASIES!? WE'D REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES IF WE GAVE THIS CHANCE UP!" Page 4: Nami, Usopp, and Chopper stare at Luffy, completely exasperated by his excitement. Nami sighs, "HE'S TOTALLY STOKED...!" while Usopp mutters, "HE..." Zoro, standing calmly with his hand resting on his sword, points out, "Guys, while you were making a futile last-ditch attempt to dissuade our captain... The whirlpool swallowed us." Usopp looks up in shock, "What is it now?" The Going Merry plunges over the edge, falling into the massive abyss of the whirlpool. Sanji yells, "Nami, leap into my arms!" Usopp screams, "GAHHH! WE'RE FAAAAAAAALLIIIINNNNGGGG!" as a chorus of terrified screams echoes, "AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Page 5: Suddenly, the violent swirling stops. The ocean surface calms down, leaving only a gentle "SPLASH...". The crew looks around the deck in utter confusion. Luffy asks, "Wha!?" Usopp wonders, "What happened!?" Sanji questions, "Why'd it disappear!?" and Chopper asks, "How could that gigantic whirlpool just suddenly vanish!?" Nami stares down at the water, her face pale and sweating. She realizes what is happening and says, "No... The whirlpool's already been negated at the ocean floor! It's starting...!" Luffy looks confused, "...Huh?" and Usopp stammers, "Wait, wha!?"
