Luffy, Sanji, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Tony Tony Chopper, Usopp ### Summary Page 8: Vivi's speech continues: "And then it points a finger out. Never defying the sea, and yet the ship's bow always heading straight ahead... Even through headwinds." A wide shot shows the massive crowd gathered before the palace. In a different location, Crocodile is shown sitting and drinking tea, listening to the broadcast. "The mysterious little ship that never lost its way in the darkness, Crossed over monstrous waves as if dancing." Vivi holds the microphone, her expression earnest. "...History may call this a myth, 'Look. The light is right there.'" The crowd reacts with confusion. "What's she talking about?" "She's talking about the marines that fought a secret battle." Vivi's voice concludes, "And so- But to me, it is the truth." Page 9: On the Going Merry, the Straw Hats listen to the broadcast. Sanji, smoking, says, "It means she decided not to come...!" Nami clarifies, "It's broadcasted from the coming of age ceremony at Alubarna." Zoro adds, "That was definitely Vivi's voice." Chopper looks at Luffy and says, "You heard the speech, didn't you?" Luffy leans on the railing, looking downcast. A sign indicates they are at the "Eastern Port of Tamarisque". The Going Merry sails away from the port. A voice says, "Let's go. It's past noon..." Sanji tries to comfort Luffy, "Her case is different from the rest of us when we joined." Nami says gently, "Give it up, Luffy. Turn starboard!" Luffy, still looking down, quietly says, "Let's go!" Suddenly, Zoro yells, "How many ships do they have!?" Usopp panics, "Guys, we've got trouble! The marines are heading this way!" Luffy suddenly snaps his head up, eyes wide with realization, and shouts, "LET'S GET OFF THE SHIP AND LOOK! SHE'LL BE THERE FOR SURE! THERE'S NO WAY SHE WON'T COME!"
