YOU KNOW VERY WELL HOW DANGEROUS THIS FOREST IS, NO!? THERE ARE THOSE PRIESTS!! GUERILLAS, TOO!! PLUS, FORESTS ARE ALWAYS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT!! THERE ARE BEASTS AND MONSTERS!!" Usopp immediately panics, shaking in fear. "MONSTERS~~ ~~!!??" Luffy flatly refuses to listen, saying "NO". Suddenly, Zoro calls out, "YO! LUFFY!!" He and Sanji appear carrying a massive pile of logs. Sanji asks, "HOW'S THIS FOR A WOODPILE?" Nami screams in disbelief, "NOT YOU, TOO!!!?" Sanji lights a torch and tries to reassure her, "DON'T WORRY, NAMI-SAN. THOSE BEASTS ARE AFRAID OF FIRE." However, right behind him in the dark forest, dozens of glowing eyes appear, accompanied by a low growl: "GGGRRRRRRRRRRR...." Nami screams in absolute terror, pointing frantically, "BEHIND YOU, BEHIND YOU!! THERE ARE SOME THINGS HERE ALREADY!!!" Page 13: A massive bonfire blazes in the center of the camp. Instead of attacking, a huge pack of giant Cloud Wolves has joined the crew in a wild, joyous dance around the fire. The air is filled with rhythmic drumming sounds, "DON DOT TO TO", and loud laughter, "GYAHAHAHAHA". Usopp dances alongside the wolves, cheering, "OOOH!!! YOU GUYS DANCE WELL, TOO~~~~!!!" The wolves howl happily, "YAH HAHA HAHAA!!!" and "WOOOOH AWOOO AWOOO~~~~~!!" Luffy joins in the howling, "OWOOO OWOOO OUWWWW WWWWW~~~~!!" Usopp declares, "DANCE! DANCE! THIS IS PRE-GOLD-HUNTING DANCING RITUAL~~~!!!" Robin watches the chaotic scene with a gentle smile, saying, "GOLD!!! THE TREASURE WILL BE OURS~~!!!"
