## One Piece Chapter 22, pages 25-26: YOU ARE A RARE AND PRECIOUS ANIMAL TOO - Chapter: 22 - Pages: 25-26 - Characters: Gaimon, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 25: Tears stream down Gaimon's face as he cries with "SOB SOB..." sound effects. He says, "The treasure chests... are empty, aren't they?" Nami gasps in shock, "Ah!!" A view from the top of the hill shows the five treasure chests lying open and completely empty. Gaimon continues, "They're all empty! The treasure in the map, actually did exist... But, by the time we found the map, the treasure had already been taken by other people..." Page 26: Nami looks sympathetic and says, "How can that be... the treasure you guarded for 20 years... is just a bunch of empty chests!" Luffy suddenly bursts into loud laughter, "Wahahahahahahahahaha!" Gaimon looks up, surprised. Luffy smiles broadly and says, "Don't be so disappointed, uncle! You meeting us after these 20 years is a really good thing too! 'Cause if it had been 30 years, you might've already be dead!" Gaimon mutters, "Straw-hat kid..." Luffy then offers, "Don't worry, there is still the great treasure 'One Piece' waiting for us! Will you join us, uncle?" Gaimon is stunned and asks, "You...... You...... You're inviting me?"
