## One Piece Chapter 804, pages 7-9: Adventure in the Country on the Back of an Elephant - Chapter: 804 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nico Robin, Usopp, Franky, Trafalgar Law, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Climbing Dragon, Mink Tribe, Ryuunosuke, Zunesha ### Summary Page 7: The climb becomes exhausting. Usopp begs, "Ryuu! Turn around..." while the dragon coughs and gasps. Luffy and others look horrified, but Robin says, "So... adorable..." Zoro argues that the mission has to be finished as soon as possible, even if it means pressing on. The dragon is pitied as "Poor Ryuu," because they cannot simply ask him to turn around now. The dragon apologetically says it looks like they will go ahead after all and that they will meet the samurai there. Robin tells him to do his best. A voice from above suddenly calls them scum and warns that unauthorized entry into the country will not be permitted, ordering them to hurry and go. The crew hears an unfamiliar voice amid the ruckus. Page 8: The dragon pushes on as the party finally sees the summit. Someone cries, "I see the summit!!!!" and everyone cheers him forward: "You got this!" "Just a bit to go!" "Hang in there!!!" and "Do your best!!" The exhausted creature pants "Huff... puff..." while the crew calls, "Ryuunosuke!!" and "Ryuuno-suke!!!" Luffy shouts encouragement from the back as the dragon scales the last stretch of the enormous elephant. Despite the warning voice, the crew is now focused on reaching the top and surviving the final climb. The page lingers on the dragon's effort and the group's emotional investment in their strange temporary companion. Page 9: At last the party reaches the top, and Luffy throws his arms up shouting, "We made it!!!" The dragon, now affectionately called Ryuunosuke, grins through his exhaustion. Robin gently asks, "You'll be reverting back to a painting, right?" and the drawn creature begins to melt back into ink. Ryuunosuke says "Ryuu..." and "Sssssst..." as he loses form. The crew reacts with grief and gratitude, calling "Ryuunosuke..." and "Ryuunosuke...!!!" while someone yells, "Oi!! Wait a sec!" Ryuunosuke's drawn body dissolves, leaving only the memory of the creature that carried them all the way up the elephant's leg.
