## One Piece Chapter 237, pages 9-11: Up in the Sky - Chapter: 237 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Usopp, Sanji, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, Roronoa Zoro, Tony Tony Chopper ### Summary Page 9: The Going Merry lands with a heavy splash on a sea made entirely of dense white clouds. On the deck, the crew is struggling to breathe in the thin atmosphere. Usopp lies on his back, coughing violently, '*COUGH*--...*COUGH*... *COUGH* HAH!!'. Sanji clutches his chest, wheezing, '*COUGH*...GU... HAH...HAH... HAH...'. Nami leans over, gasping for breath, '*COUGH* HAA... HAA...!!'. Luffy, however, quickly recovers and looks over the side of the ship, his eyes wide with amazement. 'HEY, LOOK YOU GUYS!! OUTSIDE THE SHIP!!! HEY!!!', he shouts enthusiastically. Robin pants heavily, sweat dripping down her face, 'HAA HAA...'. Zoro, also sweating and looking disoriented, asks, '...!! DAMN... WHAT HAPPENED? PHU--... IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT..?'. Page 10: A breathtaking wide shot reveals the Going Merry floating on an endless, fluffy white sea of clouds that stretches to the horizon. Luffy marvels at the sight, 'IT'S SOOO WHITE!!......WHAT IS THIS PLACE!!?'. On the deck, panic ensues among the crew. Chopper cries out in alarm, 'WHAT!!? THINK OF SOMETHING! DO CPR!'. Sanji yells urgently, 'THIS IS BAD, USOPP ISN'T BREATHING!!!'. Zoro mutters, 'IDIOT...'. Sanji immediately pivots, declaring, 'OKAY. I'LL DO CPR ON NAMI-SAN!', to which Chopper angrily replies, 'NO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!'. Luffy, looking over the rail, states the obvious, 'OF COURSE WE CAN SAIL ON TOP OF IT!! THEY'RE JUST CLOUDS.' Nami, bewildered by the situation, asks, 'ON TOP OF THE CLOUDS...!! HOW ARE WE SAILING ON CLOUDS...!!?'. Zoro is equally confused, 'CLOUDS...!?'. Page 11: Nami realizes the truth of their situation, her face serious: '--IN OTHER WORDS, THIS... IS THE "SEA OF THE SKY"!!'. Chopper asks nervously, 'WE NEED TO GO HIGHER...?'. Zoro wonders, 'HOW...??'. Sanji admits, 'I HAVE NO IDEA.', and Zoro adds, 'I FORGET.'. Robin suggests calmly, '--MAYBE THIS IS ONLY THE MIDDLE PART OF THE "MILLENNIUM CUMULONIMBUS"...'. Nami points out a crucial detail, 'BUT LOOK, THE "LOG POSE" IS STILL POINTING UP!!'. Sanji gets annoyed at Zoro, 'HEY, DID YOU JUST CALL ME AN IDIOT?'. Suddenly, Usopp recovers, strips down to his underwear, and laughs heartily, 'A SEA IS A SEA! HAHAHAHA!!'. Sanji yells at him, 'HEY, HEY, HEY! DON'T FOOL AROUND. WE STILL DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SEA!!'. Luffy cheers him on, 'OH! GO, GO!!'. Usopp declares boldly, 'FOR MY FIRST BIG COURSE--!!! CAPTAIN USOPP WILL SWIM--!!!', and dives headfirst off the ship into the clouds.
