## One Piece Chapter 290, pages 10-11: Light of Shandora - Chapter: 290 - Pages: 10-11 - Characters: Mont Blanc Noland, Kalgara, Noland's crew, Shandia warriors, Shandia villagers ### Summary Page 10: Kalgara asks Noland, "The sound of this bell? Do you like it too?" Noland looks at the small snake, which hisses "CHURARARARA", and wonders, "I wonder... If you'll grow to be as large that other snake..." Kalgara laughs heartily, "Ahahaha! It'll take more than a hundred years before that!" Kalgara then warmly offers, "Noland, why don't you stay here as long as you want!? Tell me more about your travels. Since Shandora fell 400 years ago... You and your men are the first proper guest we've had on this island! We want to treat you right!" Noland replies, "Thank you. I'd love to collect more plant samples in the forest, And I do need to carry out some final preventive measures for tree fever as well." Nearby, Noland's crew members are excitedly examining items. They shout, "ADMIRAL! ADMIRAL! What's with that getup...?" and "LOOK! AN ETERNAL POSE! AND THERE'S EVEN A MAP, ADMIRAL!" A Shandia warrior comments, "Hmm, must be something our warriors picked up from one of the invaders in the past." Noland examines the map and deduces, "Judging by this skull-shaped figure, This must be a map of this island... The name 'Shandora,' Actually refers to the location of this city. Its name means 'right eye of the skull.'" Page 11: A Shandia villager excitedly calls out to the others, "Everyone, come look! Noland says he'll be giving us some new crops!" Noland explains, "I have a greenhouse onboard to keep all kinds of plant samples. I'll give you some seeds for plants which I think will grow well in this island's soil and climate." Later, Noland waves goodbye to a villager, saying, "Bye then. Keep your body well-rested for now." The villager waves back, "Thank you so much, mister!" In another area, villagers and Noland's crew work together to carry a large wooden log. They coordinate, "Hey, lift up on your end!" and "Alright." Noland thanks them, "Thanks for all your help." A series of montage panels shows the growing bond between the two groups: Noland is seen closely examining plants in the forest while Kalgara watches, and Kalgara is shown laughing joyfully while holding a large round fruit.
