Sweat drips down his face as he tells himself, "I NEED TO CONCENTRATE HARDER!" He continues to strain under the weight of the giant rock, thinking, "IF I CAN'T DRAW FORTH THAT SAME POWER WHENEVER I WANT, THEN I CAN'T SAY I'VE GROWN STRONGER AT ALL...!" Meanwhile, inside the palace library, Nami is happily holding a thick book titled "OCEANOLOGY". She says, "Wow! You have so many interesting books! Are you really fine with letting me take them all?" A palace official sitting nearby replies, "Yes, I don't mind. I've already read them all long ago." Nami smiles brightly and says, "Thank you!" Page 7: Pell stands firmly in front of a group of Marines, declaring, "DID YOU NOT HEAR ME TELL YOU THEY'RE NOT HERE!? LEAVE AT ONCE!" The Marines argue back, "LYING WON'T HELP YOUR COUNTRY!" and "HARBOURING PIRATES IS A SERIOUS CRIME!" Pell maintains his stance, stating, "I KNOW OF NO PIRATES!" Nearby, a Marine reports to Smoker and Tashigi, who are walking through the city. "Keep up the good work out here," Smoker says. The Marine replies, "Ah, welcome back. Did you find what you were looking for?" Smoker answers, "Yeah, a decent amount." Tashigi tells Smoker, "Considering the state of the city right now, buying this much is enough." Smoker then confronts Pell, asking, "DO YOU HAVE PROOF THAT THE PIRATES ARE HERE!?" Pell stammers, "W-well, no, but...!" Hiding around a nearby corner, Usopp and Sanji observe the Marines. Usopp whispers, "Y'think he's woken up yet?" Sanji replies, "If he did, it's gonna get noisy."
