## One Piece Chapter 22, pages 27-28: YOU ARE A RARE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL TOO - Chapter: 22 - Pages: 27-28 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Gaimon, Nami, weird animals ### Summary Page 27: Luffy asks, "Uncle... Are you sure, you're really going to stay on this island?" Gaimon replies, "Yes!! Thank you for inviting me... But I still want to be the 'Forest Guardian'." Luffy asks, "Why?" Gaimon explains, "Because there are many rare animals in this forest... You're right! We saw a strange snake and pig! There were many people who came to this island to get those animals, and living here for 20 years made me grown to love those animals. I can't leave them behind!" Page 28: Luffy teases Gaimon, "You're a rare and precious animal too, uncle!" Gaimon yells back, "I'm gonna kill you!" He then smiles and says, "Now that there are no more treasures, I feel somewhat relieved, I can now live in this island more comfortably." Luffy grins and says, "It's too bad, you are an interesting person, uncle!" Gaimon encourages him, "I'm sure you'll find good companions for your crew! And also find the 'One Piece', then buy the whole world!" Luffy confidently replies, "That's right! I can do it! See ya!" The final panel shows Luffy and Nami's boat sailing away from the island. Gaimon and the weird animals watch them leave from the shore. A caption reads, "After leaving Gaimon-san, the boats sail towards the 'Grand Line' once again."
