## One Piece Chapter 157, pages 9-10: Ace Appears - Chapter: 157 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Nami, Nefertari Vivi, Smoker, Tashigi, Marines ### Summary Page 9: The Going Merry sails towards a large, bustling port city with domed buildings and minarets, situated on the edge of a vast desert. Luffy stands at the figurehead, pointing forward and yelling enthusiastically, "TO A RESTAURANT WE GO!!!" Sanji yells back at him, "SORT OUT YOUR PRIORITIES!...And then to Alabasta." Nami scolds Luffy, "We're up against an organization of assassins, Luffy! Right, right. So try not to just blindly act on instinct alone, got that!?" Luffy replies cheerfully, "Yup! Got it!" Nami sighs, "Right, right." Vivi watches them with a gentle smile, holding her left arm where the white cloth is tied. Page 10: A wide view of the bustling desert city is shown. People in Middle Eastern-style clothing walk through the streets, carrying goods and leading camels. A text box introduces the location: "Kingdom of Alabasta Port City, 'Nanohana'". In the streets, Marine Captain Smoker and Sergeant Tashigi are walking. Tashigi notices a commotion and says, "Looks like there's some kind of ruckus going on in that store..." Smoker, smoking his usual two cigars, asks, "What happened?" A Marine runs up to them, saluting hastily. "Ah, sergeant! Apparently some customer died all of a sudden." Another Marine runs up, shouting in panic, "CAPTAAIIN! Capt. Smoker! YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO SHOWED UP IN THIS TOWN!"
