## One Piece Chapter 41, pages 13-14: TO THE SEA - Chapter: 41 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi, Kaya, Merry ### Summary Page 13: The Going Merry sails away into the distance, becoming a small silhouette on the horizon. On the shore, Usopp's three young crew members--Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi--are sitting on a large fallen log, watching the ship depart. Tamanegi, looking slightly downcast, says, "THERE GOES THE CAPTAIN..." Piiman adds, "BUT IF HE'S WITH THOSE PEOPLE..." Ninjin finishes the thought, "I FEEL SAFER". Tamanegi agrees, "YEAH, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE SO STRONG". Ninjin sighs, "WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT... HE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A PIRATE". Piiman looks worried, "THE VILLAGERS WILL BE SAD WHEN WE TELL THEM THE NEWS". Tamanegi says, "IT'S SO SUDDEN..." Ninjin reflects, "AND IT'S BECAUSE CAPTAIN... HE WAS PRETTY NOISY JUST BY HIMSELF". Suddenly, Ninjin's expression changes to one of determination. He stands up slightly and declares, "I HAVE AN IDEA!" Piiman and Tamanegi look at him in surprise, asking in unison, "WHAT?" Page 14: Kaya sits quietly on the grassy shore, her knees pulled up to her chest, watching the sea where the Going Merry disappeared. Merry stands a few paces behind her, his hands clasped behind his back. "MERI..." Kaya says softly. Merry responds, "WHAT IS IT OJOU-SAMA?" Kaya looks down, a sad expression on her face. "IT HURTS TO LIE DOESN'T IT..." she murmurs. Merry looks slightly confused and asks, "YOU MEAN ABOUT CLAHADOR?" Kaya turns her head slightly, a gentle, melancholic smile on her lips. "NO..." she replies. Merry realizes what she means. "IS IT THAT... YOU ACTUALLY WANTED TO STOP USOPP-KUN...?" he asks gently. Kaya doesn't answer, simply looking away. "OJOUSAMA..." Merry says sympathetically. He then looks out towards the sea and begins to share a story. "I HEARD A STORY ABOUT HIM WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER, FROM THE VILLAGERS".
