Noland's crew clings to the bars of their cage, terrified. "GYAAA!" "HEY! GET US OUTTA HERE!" "A... AN EARTH-QUAKE!?" Mousse looks around in fear. The villagers are in full panic mode. "WE'VE NOW PROVOKED GOD'S WRATH!" "ON TOP OF THE EVIL SPIRITS' CURSE," "I KNEW IT...! THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT! IT'S BECAUSE THEY'VE COME TO OUR ISLAND!" "THIS IS... FAR GREATER THAN THE USUAL ONES!" "Protect the sick!" The ground splits open with a deafening roar. Kalgara grits his teeth in anger, thinking, "I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET HIM LIVE!" The Chief looks on with deep concern. Page 16: Out at sea, Noland's ship is tossed violently by the turbulent waves caused by the earthquake. Back at the village, the crew looks out from their cage, worried. "Admiraaal!" "I wonder if the admiral's alright..." The villagers point towards the forest in shock. "Look, the ground split." A massive, deep fissure has opened up in the middle of the forest, swallowing trees and tearing the land apart. "ALL SINKING..." "WHAT A MESS... THE FOREST GROUNDS HERE ARE..." "IT LOOKS AS IF THE ENTIRE ISLAND IS ABOUT TO RIP APART...!" Noland is seen standing near the edge of the massive chasm, looking down into it.
