A voice announces, "THE WINDS ARE PERFECT! THEY'RE DIRECTING THE EMPERORNIMBUS RIGHT ABOVE THE WHIRLPOOL'S EYE!" Shoujou grins, "LOOKS LIKE WE GUESSED RIGHT THIS TIME, BRO!" Masira agrees, "YEAH, YOU SHOULD! AND THE BLAST SEEMS TO BE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE!" Luffy looks around confused, yelling, "WE CAN MAKE IT!? WHAT WHIRLPOOL!? I DON'T SEE A WHIRLPOOL ANYWHERE!"
