## One Piece Chapter 222, pages 7-8: Hotshot Rookie - Chapter: 222 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Usopp, Zoro, Nami, Chopper, Luffy ### Summary Page 7: Usopp looks through his binoculars from the ship's deck. Someone asks, "Still nothing, Usopp?" Usopp replies, "Yup. Still nothing." Zoro stands on the deck, hand on his sword hilt. "It can't be that far, right? That monkey-dude did call this area his turf, after all." Nami adds, "Yeah, it should be close. The climate's stabilized for a while now, So we should already be in Jaya's climate zone." Chopper watches seagulls flying overhead and notes, "Jaya must be a spring island. Feels nice and warm..." Nami smiles, "What a lovely spring day. Even the seagulls look happy." Page 8: Suddenly, the peaceful scene is shattered as the seagulls are shot out of the sky, plummeting onto the deck of the Going Merry with loud thuds. Luffy is shocked, yelling, "AGHHH! THEY'VE BEEN SHOT!" then quickly changes his tune, "Oh! Let's have some grilled-bird!" Chopper is horrified and on the verge of tears, "S..." Usopp is bewildered, "Shot!? But I didn't hear anything even close to a gunshot!" Nami analyzes the situation, "Look! Bullets! Judging from the direction they were flying in, the shots were fired in the direction we're sailing!" Chopper asks incredulously, "What, you think they were shot from an island we can't even see yet?" Nami dismisses the idea, "That's just silly, Chopper." Luffy is already drooling, "Seagull-meat! Sanji!" Chopper cries out, "BUT I WAS WATCHING THE BIRDS ALL THIS TIME!" Usopp reasons, "Ha... That'd have to be one hell of sniper with one hell of a gun and one hell of an eyesight! I'm sure those birds were shot while someplace else and only happened to fall down now."
