## One Piece Chapter 161, pages 6-7: The Green City, Elumalu - Chapter: 161 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Luffy, Vivi, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Nami, Kung-Fu Dugongs ### Summary Page 6: Luffy has apparently defeated the Dugong, and now a massive flock of them are bowing to him in reverence. The lead Dugong cries "KUOO!" Luffy, taking his new role seriously, instructs them, "No, your stance should be more like this!" Usopp yells, "HOW MANY DISCIPLES DO YOU HAVE ALREADY?" The crew begins to walk away, with Chopper carrying a large barrel on his back. Luffy says, "Alright, let's go to Yuba then!" Usopp complains, "We lost a lot of our food supplies because of you!" Sanji adds, "What would you have done if it weren't for Chopper!?" Luffy defends himself, "They kept saying they'd accompany us so I had no choice but to convince them with some food." Vivi looks back and asks, "Then I'd just bring them along. What's the problem?" Usopp retorts, "How on earth do you expect to walk into any city if we have a huge flock of dugongs with us? Learn some sense!" Sanji notes, "In any case, it's quite odd to see dugongs living in the river, Vivi." Vivi replies, "No, they live in the sea." Page 7: Vivi explains the ecological changes affecting the area. A diagram shows seawater pushing up into the riverbed. "For ages past, Sandora River has nourished the lands of Alabasta," she says. "But in recent years, The river has lost its vigour and is now being driven inland by the ocean." Zoro understands the implication, "So then the mouth of the river where the Dugongs were... Yes, it's actually seawater. You can't use it to irrigate the lands around here." He asks, "Is that why this town dried up?" A wide shot shows the ruined, sandy streets of Elumalu. Vivi clarifies, "...No, not quite. This town has managed to get by, Via storing the occasional rainwater. Even just a few years ago, this place was still a lively town full of plant life." A skeletal figure is seen half-buried in the sand in the foreground. Luffy asks, "Really?"
