Chapter 104: Mizaki, The City of Promise White = Dialogue (The words in parenthesis refers to the character's thought.) Gray = Character's Flashback Green = Action Red = Translation Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luefy: This water way is very good. Luefy: He got a big hole inside his body, but he's still alive. Isn't this because he is playful? Claucus: It's just my funny idea, but I am a doctor. I used to stay at Mizaki, and used to work on a ship for 2-3 years. Luefy: A doctor? Can you become our doctor, then? Claucus: Don't be stupid. I am not as strong as I used to be now. Nami: You are a doctor. So, you are giving this whale a medical treatment from inside his body, right? Claucus: Yes. Because he's getting too big for outside treatment now. Here I open the door for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luefy: Ha! I see the real sky!! Usop: What are we going to do with these two? Luefy: Just throw them out somewhere around here. Mr. Nine: Ugh! What's this? Ms. Wednesday: Is this gastric liquid? Mr. Nine: No. It's a sea water, Ms. Wednesday. Ms. Wednesday: It seems that those pirates are letting us go, Mr. Nine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luefy: So, who are you? Ms. Wednesday: It's none of your business. Mr. Nine: Wait, Ms. Wednesday. Even though it's none of his business, we still have some relationship with pirates. Ms. Wednesday: That's right, Mr. Nine. It really involves with our company. You'd better be prepared! Mr. Nine: We will see you again soon. You countryside pirates! Ms. Wednesday: Claucus! One day, we will take this whale for sure! Sanji: Her name is Ms. Wednesday? Wow! What a mysterious girl she is. Luefy: Whose is this? Nami: Is it a good idea to let them get away? They can come back to kill a whale. Claucus: If we hold them here, they will send the new guys to kill the whale anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: But it's been 50 years. He still believe that his friends will return? Luefy: Those pirates made this whale wait for them for a really long time. Sanji: Idiot! Do you remember this is Grand Line? Sanji: They said that they'll come back in 2-3 years, but it's been already 50 years. He should know an answer. Sanji: They already dead! No matter how long he wait for them, they will never come back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usop: Why are you saying something liked that? Who knows? Maybe they are coming back. It's a beautiful thing to know that this whale still keeping his promise. Claucus: But the trust is more cruel than the dream. Usop: !? Claucus: They already gone! I have checked already. They've already gone from Grand Line. Usop: What? What did you say? Nami: So, this whale was abandoned? But if they are going to escape from here, they have to get through Calm Belt. Claucus: That's right, so I don't know if they are still alive or dead. Even though they still alive, they will never come back. No one want to stay in this catastrophe atmosphere. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claucus: If you are not strong enough, you can't survive in this sea. Because once you've experienced the fear of Grand Line, you will become weak. Sanji: So, this means that they aren't strong enough and fear of death, so they decided to leave this place without thinking of the promise. Usop: This whale has been abandoned even he has believed in them for 50 years!! This is too cruel! Nami: Since you've already known the truth, why don't you tell him? This whale can understand human language, right? Claucus: I've already told him everything, but Laboon didn't listen. Nami: Didn't listen? Claucus: Laboon. Listen to me. Laboon: ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claucus: Those pirates, who told me to take care of you, already left Grand Line. Claucus: You are friends. Claucus: And the promise between you and them can't be a lie, but they will never come back here. Laboon: BO!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claucus: Laboon. Laboon: Bo! Claucus: Listen to me, Laboon! Claucus: They've already.. Laboon: Bo! Claucus: ...left this place! Laboon: Bo! Claucus: Laboon! Claucus: I understand that you don't want to believe me, but it's the truth! Oop! Claucus: Please listen to me. Laboon: Bo! Bo! Claucus: Laboon!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claucus: You... Claucus: Since that day.. Claucus: ...Laboon always face the Loose Mountain and cry. Claucus: And he has hit his forehead to destroy the Red Line... Claucus: ...as a sign that they will come back here. I've been talking with Laboon many time, but Laboon still doesn't admit the truth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sanji: What a whale! Even though he knew that he was betrayed, he's still waiting. Usop: Even it's worthless to wait. Claucus: Yes. Because he will have nothing left if he let down the promise. That's why he doesn't want to listen to me. He's afraid of losing the meaning of waiting. Claucus: Laboon's hometown is in West Blue on the other side of Red Line. That means he can't go back there anymore. So, those people are his only hope and his everything. Sanji: He is surely poor, but you were betrayed, too. Why do you still get involve with him? Claucus: Look at those scars on his forehead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claucus: If he continue hitting his head, he will die. Claucus: I've been with him for 50 years, he's become part of my life. I can't let him die. Luefy: Yaahhhh!!! Nami: eh!? Luefy: Yahhh! Sanji: What is that moron going to do? We can't let him out of our sight. Zoro: Maybe he want to hike on the whale. Luefy: I've arrived at your forehead! Your new scar must be over there! Luefy: Rubber... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luefy: ...arranging flower!!! Zoro: Isn't that a ship's mast? Usop: From our ship? Sanji: Absolutely right! Laboon: Bo!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laboon: Bo!! Everyone: What the hell is that moron doing!!!? Usop: He broke our ship's mast! Luefy: Ahh!! Ahh!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sanji: He's coming this way! Everyone: Ahhh!!! Sanji: He's going to hit the floor! Luefy: !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claucus: That...that kid!! Nami: It's dangerous, Mister! Don't worry about him. He won't die! Laboon: Bo! Luefy: [laughing] Idiot! Laboon: [angry] Bo! Luefy: Here! Luefy: Ugh! Usop: What is he thinking? Luefy: Oop! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: Luefy, what do you think you are doing? Laboon: Bo! Luefy: We are even now! Luefy: I am very good, right? Laboon: ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luefy: But we still don't know the result of this fight. So we have to fight again in the future. Luefy: Your friends already died, but I am still alive. Luefy: We will travel around Grand Line. Luefy: And we will come back to see you again. Laboon: [crying] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luefy: Let's fight again next time. Laboon: Bo!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
