Luffy, Nami, Montblanc Cricket, Shoujou, Masira, Sanji, Usopp, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 5: Luffy, Nami, and Cricket are gathered around the golden bird statue. Nami is completely enamored, hearts floating around her head. Cricket explains, "This is a real bird known as the Southbird, which still exists on this island." Luffy asks, "Is its cry really that strange?" Cricket confirms, "Yes, it's just as Noland's log said." Shoujou and Masira are shown in the next panel. Shoujou starts to say, "Speaking of the Southbird, for ages, sailors have-" but is suddenly interrupted. A massive crash, accompanied by a loud "GAGAAN!!" sound effect, shakes the area. Outside, a large tree falls directly onto Cricket's house, breaking the structure. A voice screams, "OH NO! WHAT'S WRONG!?" Page 6: Inside the damaged house, chaos ensues. Someone yells, "WHAT!? WHY!?" Cricket urgently commands, "You've gotta go and catch this bird! Right this instant!" Luffy, confused, asks, "Huh? What're you talking about all of a sudden, mister?" Sanji questions, "Why the bird...?" Cricket shouts, "THIS IS BAD! YOU NEED TO GET TO THE FOREST NOW! THE FOREST TO THE SOUTH!" He explains, "Listen closely! The knock-up stream that should form tomorrow, is directly South of this cape!" A map of Jaya is shown with a compass rose, indicating the Knock-up Stream to the south. Luffy asks, "So how do you think we'll get there!?" Cricket replies, "By sailing South, duh." Luffy yells back, "THIS IS THE GRAND LINE! ONCE YOU SET OUT FOR THE SEAS, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHICH DIRECTION IS WHERE!" Nami realizes, "...Ah, that's right! Since we're not heading for an island but some point in the open seas, the log-pose won't be of any use! But then... Just how can we sail South!?" Cricket, pointing a finger, declares, "That's where this bird comes in!" A silhouette of the Southbird is shown behind him.
