Luffy and Usopp are standing with their arms raised high. Luffy asks, "WHO DISAGREES?" Nami, looking annoyed, yells, "WHAT!? I'M A FEEBLE LITTLE GIRL!? SO I SHOULD HAVE THE WHISTLE!!" Usopp argues back to Luffy, "LUFFY, YOU JUST WANT TO BLOW IT FOR FUN!! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!" Luffy retorts, "I WANT TO CALL FOR THAT MISTER!! RIGHT NOW!!" Chopper, waving his arms, cries, "LET ME KEEP IT! I'M THE WEAKEST!!" Usopp insists, "NO!! I'M THE WEAKEST GUY HERE!!" Chopper yells back, "NO, I AM THE WEAKEST!! DON'T TALK TRASH!!" Robin, observing the chaotic argument, calmly remarks, "YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE QUITE STRANGE..." Nami sighs, "~~~~AH. ALSO, YOU GUYS HAVE NO RIGHT TO BLOW IT!!" Sanji, standing nearby, threatens, "ANYONE WHO DOES, I'LL KICK YOU THE EDGE OF THE WORLD!!" Zoro, sitting with his arms crossed, suggests, "ANYONE WHO'S IN TROUBLE, TAKE IT AND BLOW IT! NOW THIS IS FAIR." Nami agrees, "FINE." Sanji adds, "I UNDERSTAND." Nami then concludes, holding the whistle, "...THEN... HOW'S THIS? WE'LL JUST HANG IT HERE ON THE MAIN MAST." Page 23: The flashback ends, returning to the present on the Going Merry. Chopper is alone on the deck, looking nervous. He looks at the whistle hanging on the main mast and thinks, "THIS WHISTLE......AL... ALRIGHT THEN!! GOOD THING I STILL HAVE THIS...!! IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, THE KNIGHT OF THE SKY WILL SAVE ME..." Suddenly, a shadow falls over him. He turns and gasps, "... OH? THAT'S..." A large, imposing figure with wings and a spear, Shura, descends onto the ship with a heavy "DON" sound. Shura looks down at Chopper and says, "WHAT? YOU'RE THE ONLY SACRIFICE TO KILL?" Chopper, terrified and crying, frantically grabs the whistle and blows into it with all his might, producing a loud, piercing "PIIIIIIIIIIIIIH~~~~~~!!!" sound that echoes across the sky.
