He yells at the top of his lungs, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CAP'N LUFFY! I'LL NEVER FORGET ALL YOU DID FOR ME!!!" Middle panels: Luffy, standing in the small boat, throws his head back in a wide, joyous laugh, "HAHA HA!" He calls back to his friend, "WE'LL MEET AGAIN, KOBY!!" In the boat beside him, Zoro holds his swords and looks back at the shore with a smirk, remarking, "THIS IS A NEW ONE. A PIRATE BEING SALUTED BY THE NAVY!" Bottom panel: The Marine Commander, Ripper, suddenly shouts, "'TEN-SHUN!" With a synchronized "FWIP!!", the Commander and all the Marines lined up behind Koby snap into a crisp salute directed at the departing pirates.
