## One Piece Chapter 291, pages 5-7: We are here! - Chapter: 291 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Noland's crew, Mousse, Doctor Honner, Kalgara, Mont Blanc Noland ### Summary Page 5: In the top panels, someone is shown walking, and then a hand knocks on a wooden door. "Tap tap" In the middle panels, a crewmate drinks from a bottle, looking depressed. "What a sad way to leave this island..." Another crewmate sits on a log nearby. In the bottom panels, Mousse approaches the ship's doctor, Honner, in the forest. She asks, "Doctor... Do you have a moment...?" The doctor is shocked to see her. "Mousse!? Umm... Aghh!" In the bottom-most panel, Kalgara sits alone in the dark forest, holding his spear. Page 6: In the top panel, Kalgara looks out over a massive field of tree stumps where a dense forest used to be. He says angrily, "And yet you dare... Call yourself a botanist...!?" In the middle panel, Kalgara's face is shown in close-up, looking furious and gritting his teeth. "Noland... If these are the sacrifices for progress you spoke of, then we should have never welcomed you!" In the bottom panels, a flashback shows Noland talking to Mousse. Mousse asks, "'Spirit resting tree?'" Noland replies, "Yes..." Page 7: In the top panel, Mousse explains the significance of the trees to Noland. "These white, holy trees house the spirits of our ancestors, who died on this island, when they are guided back by the sound of the bell." In the middle panel, Mousse and Noland sit in the forest. Mousse continues, "The spirits of all our ancestors even back during Shandora's heydey, rest in these trees to watch over us. For us Shandia, these spirit resting trees... are as important as our very lives." In the bottom panels, Mousse looks sad as she finishes her explanation. "And we've gone and cut'em all down... The warriors wanted to immediately take up arms in anger, but because the villagers owed their lives to you, we- I wanted to give you an explanation before you set sail... But at the very least," Noland looks down, realizing the gravity of his actions. "Right, I get it now... That's why you've been so cold towards us... Even if you cut them down for your research... And had no idea of their importance... I'm afraid my people's anger won't subside..."
