Wow!!! Who would have thought of this...?? I sure felt like I got thrown a curve ball. Oda-san, that's why you're the best master storyteller.

page 2:
Luffy: I CAN'T STOP EATING! I can't believe how good these takoyaki are!!
Sanji: Yeah, it's really good... How can the sauce be this deep?
Usopp: And eating on the yatai-ship is making it better
(Yatai are outdoor mobile shops in Japan. There are many diffrent yatai shops, from takoyaki to ramen. They are very small shops, only about 10 feet wide, but has a kitchen and grill, and sometimes even seats to serve 2 or 3 people.)
Chopper: *humphmunchmunchyum*
Brook: This is the first time I've encountered this "takoyaki" culture (can't read the rest)
Camie: These ones has fish broth in it, and these have mochi (rice cakes) inside
Hachi: Nyuuu! Eat all you want! You guys saved me (can't read the rest)

page 3:
Duval: Wait wait!! Don't leave without saying goodbye!
I'm HANDSOME.... I mean, Duval!

page 4:
Arriving at the Shabondy Isles
Someone: That's the Shabondy Isles!!
Someone else: Sha... Shanbondama!?
(Shabon-dama is Japanese for soap bubbles. It derives from the word in portugese meaning soap. The island seems to be full of what appears to be soap bubbles, hence the name Shabondy Isles)

page 5:
Chopper: How come you won't get on them?
Pappag: Don't be silly, don't do it Camie.
Camie: ...yes, I know (looking sad)
Chopper: I wont to ride on it too, but you can't?
Nami: Hachi, why are we here? What were you talking about coating the ship with?
Hachi: Nyuu! We have to find a coating artist, and coat your ship with resin.
Crew: !?
Hachi: To put it simply, your ship will be able to travel under the sea.
Crew: What!? Really!?

page 6:
Luffy look excited
Hachi: But you have to promise me one thing.
Zorro: .......
Luffy: Yeah, what?
Hachi: When you enter the town, there are "World Nobles" walking around some times.
Luffy: Who the hell is that?
Robin: They are the residents of Mariejois.
Luffy: I see. And what's up with him?
Hachi: No matter what happens, promise to not stand up against the World Nobility!!
Even if someone is killed in front of you, act like you saw nothing!!
Crew: !!?


Yeah, fat chance the Mugiwara pirates are gonna keep that promise.
The resin taken from the trees of Shabondy isles probably creates a protective bubble, that looks like soap bubbles.
