## One Piece Chapter 424, pages 9-10: Escape Ship - Chapter: 424 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Kokoro, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nami, Nico Robin, Sogeking ### Summary Page 9: The truth about Kokoro detonates through the crew harder than the flood did. Sanji, Chopper, and the others stare as someone yells, "MERMAIDS DON'T EXIST!!!" and another screams, "GYAAAH, IT'S REALITY!!!" Sanji rejects it with all his strength: "IDIOT!! SHE HASN'T SAID SHE'S A MERMAID YET!!! DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM!!" Kokoro calmly says, "I'M A 'SHIRAUO' MERMAID." That only makes the panic worse. Someone shouts, "NO~~~!!" while the old legend is explained: dugongs are mistaken for mermaids, mermaids split their tail fins into two when they reach age thirty, and after that they can live on land. The beautiful dream Sanji imagined underwater is replaced by Kokoro's laughing, very real presence. Page 10: The crew tries to regain itself after the shock. Robin thanks Kokoro: "KOKORO-SAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH." Kokoro answers, "NGAGAGAGA, NO WORRIES!" Sanji and Sogeking cannot stop reacting. "WE'RE NOT THE SAME!!!" someone shouts, and Sanji guesses wildly, "AH, YOU MEAN THE 'GOBLIN CAT'?" while Chopper repeats the legend he heard: "OH, I KNOW! I HEARD THAT THE TAIL OF A 100-YEAR-OLD CAT WILL SPLIT AND THE CAT WILL TURN INTO A 'MONSTER'!!" Then Sanji sees Robin and charges toward her with joy: "NNNNROOOBIN-CHAAAN!!!" Nami beams too: "I'M GLAD WE MADE IT, ROBIN!! YOU'RE SAFE!!!" The reunion finally happens in the middle of the bombardment.
