One says, "IT WAS DR. KUREHA'S REINDEER! HE CAME DOWN ON THE ROPEWAY HERE! AND THOSE PIRATES WERE RIDING ON THAT SLEIGH..." Another wonders, "I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED ON THE MOUNTAIN...? WHAT HAPPENED TO WAPOL...? AND IS DALTON SAFE!?" Meanwhile, at the bottom of the ropeway, the Straw Hats have crash-landed in a heap of snow. Luffy cheers, "WOO HOO! THAT WAS AWESOME! DO IT AGAIN!" Usopp yells, "DON'T BE STUPID! WE HAVE TO HURRY UP AND SET SAIL!" Sanji, waking up from his unconscious state, groans, "I... I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE... HUH!? W-WHERE AM I?" Nami asks, "OH, DID YOU WAKE UP, SANJI?" Back at the castle, Kureha and Dalton stand on the balcony looking out. Kureha asks, "ARE YOU FINE, WITH A GOOD BYE LIKE THAT?" Dalton replies, "HEE HEE HEE... NOW I WON'T HAVE TO FEED A PET THAT I WAS FORCED TO TAKE CARE OF!" Page 11: Kureha smiles gently and says, "I'M NOT ONE, FOR SAD GOOD BYES..." She then remembers Chopper's words: "DOC! THAT WAS REAL, RIGHT...? YOUR RESEARCH WAS COMPLETED BACK THEN, RIGHT!?" She turns to her men and orders, "NOW FOLLOW ME! WE HAVE TO MAKE IT IN TIME BEFORE THEY SET SAIL!" She remembers another conversation with Chopper, where he asked, "OR WAS THAT ANOTHER LIE AS WELL!? DID YOU LIE TO ME ABOUT THAT AS WELL BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT'D MAKE ME SAD WHEN YOU DIED...? YOU TOLD ME THERE WAS NO IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO BEAR THEIR CONVICTIONS ACROSS A PIRATE FLAG!...SAY IT ONE MORE TIME, DOC!" Kureha thinks to herself, "WE DID IT, CHOPPER! MY RESEARCH IS COMPLETE AT LAST! THIS IS IT...! THIS IS THE REACTION I'VE BEEN WAITING OVER 30 YEARS FOR...!"
