Luffy, Megalo ### Summary Page 18: The flashback returns to the present at the northeastern edge outside Shell Tower. Guards run through the wreckage shouting, "Hurry, skeleton!! We must report to the king!!" and "Hoooold it!!" while the fleeing captives realize, "Hordy is going to kill us all...!!" and "If we don't open the path into the palace..." Their impact has already become a public disaster: "The princess has been kidnapped!!! Some unknown individual has removed her from the tower!!!" and "Also, pirates have been raining down on the tower...!!! It's an enemy attack!!! We're under attack!!!" Someone cries, "Y - your majeeeeesty!!!" and the rumor becomes even worse: "Shirahoshi is goneeeeee?! Who is responsible for this?!!" and "Kidnapped, you saa aaay?!!" Zoro, standing amid the uproar with Nami nearby, tries to sort the timing: "An enemy attack at a time like this...? What's up with that...?" while another voice says, "Why did it have to be now?!! They just had to attack while we're occupying the palace...!! Wh... wh... what do we do now?! No!! Wait!! Don't answer that!!" Zoro answers plainly: "We take 'em out." Page 19: Outside, Megalo swims away with Luffy riding on him and Shirahoshi hidden inside. Luffy hears the shark groan, "Ruoh hh!!" and asks, "Don't you want to get out of the shark now?" Shirahoshi replies from within, "N... no... I still feel a little safer in here..." Luffy asks, "...So how is it? Being outside for the first time in ten years?!" She answers honestly, "...My heart is beating so fast... I really... shouldn't be doing this..." Luffy shrugs it off: "There's nothing wrong with it! You're just going outside! Man, you're so weird sometimes..." Shirahoshi wonders, "Would this be what they call... an adventure...?" and Luffy says, "If it makes your heart race, that's an adventure all right!" He asks about the Ocean Forest: "So, this 'Ocean Forest' you were talking about... what is it? Is there fun stuff there?" Shirahoshi answers softly, "There is a grave!" and explains, "I have never been able to visit that grave even once, since it was first erected... For all these ten long years... I have wanted to visit it, more than anything else..."
