Luffy, Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard Pirates crew members, South Bird ### Summary Page 0: The title page for Chapter 235, titled "Knock-Up Stream", features a serene illustration of Nico Robin. She is sitting casually on a wooden crate or bench, resting her chin on her hand and smiling gently. Beside her stands a large, wolf-like animal with a striped, bushy tail and a bandage wrapped around its left hind leg. The animal looks slightly nervous or surprised, with a sweat drop on its head. In the background, there are more of these wolf-like creatures roaming in a grassy field. Behind them, tall, peculiar structures resembling towers with large clock faces or wheels on top stand against a setting or rising sun. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, contrasting with the upcoming events of the chapter. Page 1: Nami is furious, her face taking up the top panel as she screams, "WHAT DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING!? OH FOR GOODNESS' SAKE!" Below, the rest of the crew and the Saruyama Alliance are gathered outside Mont Blanc Cricket's house, waiting anxiously. Sanji, smoking a cigarette, remarks, "Uhh... I don't think he even made any calculations in the first place." Usopp agrees, "He probably never even took that into his calculations! He's such a simpleton!" Masira adds, "Yup. 100% likely." Cricket, sitting nearby, guesses, "I bet it's because of that heavy gold figurine slowing him down!" Robin checks the time and notes, "He's 46 minutes later than the time he promised to come back by! Does he WANT to miss the knock-up stream!?" Chopper panics, yelling, "It's already morning! MORNING!" In the bottom panels, Sanji cups his hands and shouts "HEEEYYYY!" into the forest. Zoro, looking annoyed, asks Nami, "Just what do you even want from him, woman..." Nami angrily declares, "IF HE LOST, I'D BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA HIM EVEN IF HE DID ARRIVE ON TIME!" Chopper looks worried, asking, "You don't think he was beaten, do you..." Page 2: Masira suddenly looks up with a wide smile, exclaiming, "It's him! Thank god he's back!" Shoujou stands beside him, looking in the same direction with relief. Luffy is seen running out of the forest, grinning broadly and shouting, "LOOK! I DID IT!" Usopp, looking stressed and exasperated, yells back, "HURRY UP, LUFFY! YOU'RE ALREADY LATE!" In the bottom panel, Luffy proudly holds up a large insect, declaring, "A HERCULES BEETLE!" The beetle sparkles in his hand, showing off his prized catch. Nami and Usopp are absolutely furious, their faces contorted in anger and disbelief as Nami screams at the top of her lungs, "JUST WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!?" The comedic timing highlights Luffy's misplaced priorities despite the urgent deadline. Page 3: The Going Merry is revealed, having undergone massive modifications by the Saruyama Alliance. It now sports large, bird-like wings on its sides and a reinforced hull, looking ready for flight. Luffy and Usopp stand before it, completely awestruck. Luffy throws his arms up and yells, "WHOAA! IT'S AWESOME! IT'S GOING MERRY'S 'FLYING MODEL!'" In the bottom panels, Zoro observes the ship and comments dryly, "Yeah, a pigeon's much better at flying than a rooster..." Robin, looking slightly concerned, says, "Personally, I'm getting uneasy just looking at that thing." Sanji yells angrily at Luffy and Usopp, "THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM HERE, YOU BLOCKHEAD!" However, Luffy and Usopp are too excited to listen, their eyes shining like stars as they scream in unison, "RIGHT!? THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SOOOOOO GONNA FLY!" Page 4: Mont Blanc Cricket sits on the ground next to a large object covered by a tarp, smoking a cigarette with a bandage on his head. Luffy stands before him, smiling confidently, and calls out to the crew, "Time to set sail, boys! Are the preparations complete!?" The crew and the Saruyama Alliance cheer back enthusiastically, "UOHO!" and "AYE-AYE SIR!" The background shows the bustling activity of the crew getting ready. Luffy turns his attention back to Cricket, grinning widely, and says, "Right, thanks for fixing up the ship." Cricket, looking down with a serious and slightly gruff expression, replies, "You idiot... Or do you want to waste your only chance to go to the sky. Get on the ship, you ain't got much time left." The interaction highlights the mutual respect between the two after their shared efforts. Page 5: Luffy excitedly offers his prized catch to Cricket, exclaiming, "REALLY!? ARE YOU SURE!? MAN, YOU'RE SUCH A NICE GUY! I'll give you my hercules beetle!" Cricket declines the offer, saying, "Thank them, not me." Luffy turns to the cheering Saruyama Alliance in the background and yells, "Thanks a bunch, guys!" Masira and Shoujou are shown readying their ships. Masira calls out, "We'll go on ahead first so catch up!" Shoujou adds, "W...
