Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Masira, Shoujou ### Summary Page 21: Sanji lands safely, saying, 'It didn't hit me! Don't worry,' Nami and Chopper scream in panic, 'SANJI! SANJI! GAHHH!' Sanji glares at Cricket, 'That's what you get for underestimating him, you dumbass... JUST GIMME A LIL' LONGER TO FINISH HIM OFF!' Suddenly, Cricket stops moving. He clutches his chest and collapses to the ground with a heavy thud. Sanji looks surprised, 'BUT... Hm!?' Page 22: Cricket lies unconscious on the ground, coughing up blood. 'COUGH! COUGH!' Usopp, dragging a soaking wet Luffy out of the water, explains, 'T... THERE WERE... COUGH! BUBBLES FROM BEL- BELOW SO I LEANED IN FOR A CLOSER LOOK AND THIS CHESTNUT APPEARED! BUT THE CHESTNUT WAS ACTUALLY A GUY... AND HE QUICKLY PULLED ME IN THE WATER...' Luffy coughs up water. Sanji asks Cricket, 'You... you okay, old man?' The scene shifts to inside Cricket's house. Cricket is lying in bed, with Chopper tending to him. Sanji says, 'This old man's sick? Diver's disease?' Chopper instructs, 'Cool this towel a little more. And open all the windows! Yes, it's an illness that occasionally affects divers, But normally, it doesn't grow serious enough to become a chronic illness.' Page 23: Chopper continues his medical explanation. 'The cause is the sudden drop in pressure when rising from deep below the sea to the surface. This drop in pressure destabilizes the dissolved gases in the human body, forming bubbles. As the formed bubbles collect in blood streams and tissues, they cause pain and distress in the muscles, joints, and blood vessels.' Luffy, now recovered and sitting nearby, says, 'Oh, so it's sort of a magic disease.' Chopper looks at the unconscious Cricket, 'This person must have been diving so frequently, That the bubbles didn't have enough time to disappear naturally. What could have driven him to this?' Chopper concludes grimly, 'Depending on the severity, I don't know... but it's very dangerous. Diver's disease can even lead to death.' As he says this, Masira and Shoujou are shown looming in the background, grinning menacingly.
