## One Piece Chapter 290, pages 15-16: Light of Shandora - Chapter: 290 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Mont Blanc Noland, Shandia villagers, Seto, Mousse, Kalgara, Noland's crew ### Summary Page 15: Noland approaches the village with a friendly smile, greeting them, "Hello, folks. Is Kalgara around?" The villagers stare at him silently with cold, hostile expressions. Noland looks confused and asks, "Why is everyone acting so cold all of a sudden?" A villager replies bluntly, "...Well, you're nothing but foreigners. And Kalgara said... He doesn't ever want to see you." Noland spots a familiar face and calls out, "SETO!" but Seto turns his head away, refusing to look at him. Mousse glares at Noland and demands angrily, "JUST WHEN ARE YOU AND YOUR MEN, FINALLY GOING TO LEAVE?" Noland is taken aback and stammers, "Wha-" Page 16: Noland's crew members are confused and hurt by the sudden hostility. One asks, "It's like... They despise us all of a sudden! D... Did we stay too long?" Another angrily yells at the villagers, "HEY, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!? YOU WERE ALL STILL FRIENDLY JUST YESTERDAY!" Noland raises a hand to calm his men, saying, "Stop. Let's continue our work for now. There are still parts of the forest we haven't been to yet." Elsewhere, Shandia villagers are venting their anger. One shouts, "I CAN'T DO IT! I CAN'T PUT UP WITH THEM FOR EVEN ONE SECOND!" Another agrees, "I DON'T HAVE AN OUNCE OF GOOD WILL TOWARDS THEM!" A third villager tries to calm them, "You don't have to have any... Just be patient until they set sail." Noland is shown looking towards the distant golden city, thinking sadly, "Kalgara... So this is where you were..." A dramatic close-up shows Kalgara's face contorted in absolute rage as he declares, "I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT BASTARD'S FACE EVER AGAIN... AND IF I DO... I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP MYSELF FROM KILLING HIM...!"
