Chapter 22: You are Monster White = Dialogue (The words in parenthesis refers to the character's thought.) Green = Action Red = Translation Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: It's fixed! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: I just temporary mend your hat. Nami: If you did not poke it very hard, then it will not torn. Rufi: I can't believe that you're able to fix this hat. Thanks! Rufi pokes at his hat, and it tears. Rufi: eh? Nami: Didn't you listen to me at all!? Rufi: Ouch!! Rufi: Why do you poke my forehead with the needle? Nami: Because if I punch you, you won't feel a thing. So, I'd rather poke! Rufi: Well! That's true. Zoro: You are so noisy. I can't sleep now, and I'm getting hungry. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: Hey! Can you give me something to eat? Nami: Both of you are very strange. Are you really serious about being pirates? You did not bring any water or food with you. You really underestimate the sea. Rufi: Ah! I think I see something. Nami: You are really lucky to survive. Zoro: It's o.k. Just stop complaining. Rufi: Hey! It's an island. Nami: There is nothing on that island. It's just deserted island. Don't waste time to go there. Nami: Hey! Wait! Rufi: Will there be anyone to join us? Zoro: At least, we should gather some food there. Nami is right! It seems that we are very careless about tomorrow. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: We've arrived! Rufi: There is absolutely nothing in this island, only forest. Nami: I told you that it is deserted island. If you want to find crew, you will get nothing from here. Rufi: Zoro, get down here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: Are you sleeping? Nami: Just let him sleep. Remember that he still injured. Rufi: That's true. Let's go. Nami: Where are you going? Rufi: Maybe, there will be someone in the forest. Nami: I told you that there is no one here. If there is, it might be a ghost or the wild animal. Mutant fox: [coo] [coo] Rufi: Huh? Nami: Eh? Nami: What is that? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: Look at this. It's mutant rabbit! Nami: I think it's mutant snake. Rufi: How about that lion? Nami: I think it's a pig, a mutant pig. Nami: This forest is really strange. Gaimon: Don't come any closer. Rufi: eh? Nami: The voice? Who are you? Gaimon: Me? I am the forest protector! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: Forest protector? Gaimon: If you still love you life, just leave this forest now! Gaimon: You are pirates, right? Rufi: Yes. Nami: Why the forest protector have to ask that kind of question? Gaimon: So, you really are pirates. Gaimon: Listen! If you come any closer to the forest, you will get the "forest judgment." You want to be killed? Rufi: How can I know? Why are you asking me that? Nami: What's going on here? Rufi: I think this guy is really a weirdo. Gaimon: What did you say? Nami: Why don't you show yourself? Rufi: Where are you? Gaimon: Hey! I told you not to come any closer! Gaimon: Prepare yourself for forest judgment! Rufi: huh? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bang! Rufi: Oop! Nami: [scream] Rufi bounce the bullet off his body. Gaimon: Wha..? Nami: That's scary! Is that a gun? Even a gun can't hurt you. Rufi: No. But I don't like the sound of it anyway. Gaimon: Who…who are you? Rufi: How about you? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: The bullet came from this direction. Gaimon: ! Nami: Look. He drops the gun over there. Rufi: What is this? Nami: It's really weird. Nami: Ah! It's moving. Gaimon: Hey! Pull me up! Nami: hu..human? Gaimon: Hey! Pull me up! Nami: Still demanding when you can't help yourself? Rufi: Isn't he a dwarf or something? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: Gom Gom Fruit? Gaimon: Is that an evil fruit? I've heard of it. Gaimon: This is the first time I see someone that ate the evil fruit. Rufi: This is also my first time I see someone stuck in the treasure box, too. Did your parents feed you in the box? Gaimon: When I was young, my parents were… Hey! I am not what you think! Gaimon: I just accidentally stuck in the treasure box. I've already stayed in this island for 20 years. Do you understand why? Nami: 20 years? You stayed in this island alone? Gaimon: Yes. It's been 20 years. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: You are crazy. Gaimon: Shut up! Gaimon: 20 years is really long. See? My hair and mustache are very long. Even my eyebrows are long! Gaimon: It's been 20 years that I haven't talked with any human. Gaimon: Ouch!! What are you doing? Rufi: I can't pull you out of the box. Gaimon: Stop it! You'll pull my head off! Gaimon: It's not gonna work. I've been stuck liked this for 20 years! My body became fit to the treasure box. You can't pull me off. If you destroy the box, you'll destroy my body, too. Nami: But.. why are you staying here? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: You told me that you are pirates, right? Rufi: Yes. Now, I got only 3 people in my team. Gaimon: I used to be a pirate. Rufi: huh? Gaimon: It's been a very great life for me. I can have a great adventure. Even though it's dangerous, I've never afraid. Gaimon: Do you have any treasure map? Rufi: I got Grand Line map. Rufi: My goal is to conquer, "One Piece." Gaimon: What did you say? One Piece? You really are heading to Grand Line? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: Where is Grand Line? Rufi: You don't know? Gaimon: I don't know anything about reading map. Ha ha Rufi: really? Ha ha. Nami: This doesn't look liked a conversation of pirates at all. Nami: Listen up! I think you know "Red Line," right? Gaimon: Is it the continent that separate the sea and perpendicular to the Grand Line? Nami: Yes. Our world is separated into 2 parts. We called the continent that separates the sea, Red Line. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: The route around the world that perpendicular to the Red Line is called Grand Line. Nami: According to the legend, the only person that can control Grand Line is Gold Roger. This route also known as the most dangerous route of all. Rufi: Therefore, One Piece must be hiding somewhere in Grand Line, which means that we have to travel around the world. Gaimon: Don't be stupid. It's not as easy as you think. At least, the story about "pirate graveyard" is not a lie. Gaimon: I used to see some pirates that escaped from Grand Line. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: Look like they have encountered some kind of terrible pirates or bloody monsters. I don't know. However, every pirate that came back from Grand Line were walking like a deadman. They all lose the fighting spirit. Gaimon: No one ever said even a word about it. But I unstand by looking at them. And that's the tragedy story of Grand Line. Nami: ...!! Gaimon: And about that One Piece story. Maybe it's just a myth. Gaimon: It has been 20 years since the beginning of Pirate Age. That ultimate treasure has become a legend. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: Do you understand? One Piece maybe just a dream. Rufi: Really? However, I think some part of it is real. Nami: But I think the wisest way is to try our best and escape! Rufi: Didn't you know already that I am a very lucky person? Nami: It's true, but you will not always lucky. Gaimon: If you want to know the reason why I can't leave this island,.. Rufi: What is it? Gaimon: I still have something in my heart about this island. That's why I can't leave here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: What? Gaimon: 20 years ago, I came to this island as a pirate because I found the map that showed the location of hidden treasure in this island. The purple part refer to the Gaimon's flashback. Captain: We have wasted our time here. It's been 3 weeks, and we have used more than 200 people to locate the treasure. All we've found were just empty boxes. Captain: Let's get out of here. Pirates: Aye! Pirates: What are you doing, Gaimon? We are leaving now. Gaimon: O.k. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: Captain always on the front of the hill. Has anyone take a look at that hill? Gaimon: (I can't believe my eyes.) Gaimon: I found them! They're here. Gaimon: Hey! Everyone! Ah? Gaimon: (I fell off the cliff and got stuck in the empty treasure box.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: When I have regained my consciousness, my friends were gone. Gaimon: The ship is gone? Gaimon: That's great. So, all the treasure will be mine. Gaimon: But I stuck in this treasure, so I can't climb up there. Gaimon: Come back, everyone! Rufi: So, there's no one come here in last 20 years? Gaimon: There are some, but not quiet often. They are all the pirates, and I always chase them off this island with the forest judgment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: The picture of the treasure is still in my mind until now. Gaimon: But I've been stuck in the box liked this for 20 years. I have been protecting those treasures for a long time. They are mine! Rufi: You are right. They are yours. Nami: I understand now. We will get the treasure for you. Gaimon: Really? That's great. Rufi: You are really a pirate thief. Nami: What do you mean? I know what is right or wrong! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: It's here. I haven't been to this place for a long time. Rufi: Why are you doing this now? Have you ever asked anyone for help? Gaimon: Because I haven't found anyone that I can trust. At least, I've never met anyone that want to talk to me when they saw me. Gaimon: (Damn it! The treasure is this closed to get.) Gaimon: Finally, the waiting is over. This is a very great day for me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: O.k. Let's go. Rufi: You want me to go by myself? Nami: I can't climb up the cliff. It's too high. Gaimon: Please take care of it, kid. Rufi stretch his arm and be able to get to the top. Gaimon: Wow! Finally! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: I found the treasure. There are 5 boxes. Gaimon: Very good. Can you throw them down here? But don't let them hit me. ha ha ha. Rufi: No! Gaimon: What? Nami: What are you saying? Stop fooling around and throw that treasures down here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: No. I don't want to give them to you. Nami: Hand them over! Nami: You are playing too much this time. Gaimon: That's o.k. if he did not want to hand them to us. Nami: You are such a jerk! How come you say that? Those treasures are.. Gaimon: Kid! Gaimon: You are a really good person. [crying] Nami: What do you mean? Gaimon: I understand. Maybe it's true. Gaimon: I have thought about it before. However, I still don't want to give up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaimon: Those boxes are all empty, right? Nami: Wha..? Rufi: Yes. They are all empty boxes. Gaimon: This always happen with the treasure. [sniff] It means that when I got that treasure map, someone has already took the treasures. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nami: What is this? You have protected the empty boxes for 20 years. Rufi: Ha ha ha. Don't be sad, Mister. You are very lucky that we are here in your 20th years. Rufi: If there's no one come in the next 30 years, maybe you died already. Nami: Rufi. Rufi: We still have "One Piece." Please become a pirate again and join me. Gaimon: You ask me to join you? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: You will stay here? Are you sure, Mister? Gaimon: Yes. But I am very glad that you asked. Even though there is no treasure, I will stay here to protect the forest. Nami: Why? Gaimon: Because there are many strange animals. Nami: Yes. The mutant pig, the mutant snake.. Gaimon: Most of the people who came here want to have these animals more than treasure. I've been here for 20 years and I have established a strong feeling toward these animals. So, I can't leave them behind. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: But you are the mutant, too. Gaimon: Shut up! Or I'll kill you. Gaimon: The most important thing is that I feel better when I learned that there is no treasure here. I can stay in this island with a happiness. Rufi: That's pity. Because you are really interesting person. Gaimon: I think you will be a very good pirates. After you conquer One Piece, just buy the whole world, o.k.? Rufi: Yep. I will do that. I have to go now. Once again, the ship is heading to Grand Line and leaving the great fighter, Gaimon, behind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
