"Another"

pg 3

Nami: Because he said "I'm still fine" and smiled

: I smiled too.

pg 4

Nami: My eighth year is crumbling away day-by-day.

Nojiko: Hey, What kind of guy is he?

Nami: 'He' who?

Nojiko: That guy who overthrew Arlong.

Nami: Oh, Luffy?

pg 5

Nojiko: He won't ask anything. Not about the village, and not about you.

: Said he's 'not interested'.

Nami: Hahaha! That's just like him!

Nojiko: Why does he know so much?

*katan* *thump of chair*

Nojiko: The Navigation Room. The place you hated the most.

Nami: [When your face is concealed by the rim of a straw hat, you can cry to your heart's content.]

: Mm... Luffy's just that kind of person.

pg 6

: [His hat/treasure gave me courage and strength.]

: The instincts of a Pirate King, right?

Nojiko: ...Hold it. ......Pirate King?

Nami: Yeah.

*blow blow*

Nojiko: He still has a way to go.

: I mean... He says he's aiming for the One Piece, right?

Nami: Yes. That's right.

*kon* *clunk*

pg 7

Nami: It'll be fine. I'm the navigator.

*basa* *rustle*

*shishishi* *he he he*

Nojiko: ....You're finally a pirate at last?

Nami: That's right! I'll draw a world map from what I've seen with my own eyes.

: [And]

: [I'll be the one recording his history.]

: [I'll be the one recording his voyage.]

pg 8

Nami: [That is my other dream.]

?: To the boat!!

"Route"

pg 9

Nami: Ah!

*shira* *flying off*

: Nice timing, Zorro! Grab it!

note: Because it's a manga!

Nami: Thanks! Bring it back here!

Zorro: *That woman...!!*

pg 10

Zorro: Here! And don't do this outside on a windy day. *You can't fucking use the table in a place like this!*

Nami: I could work anywhere and do a good job.

*giri* *grind*

Zorro: This is great stuff. You drew all of this? I could never do it.

Nami: Of course! Your strengths are totally different!

Zorro: This one and that one are the same map, right?

Nami: Huh- yeah.

Zorro: This line only goes over here?

Nami: ...You really are only RIDING on this boat, huh.

Zorro: WHAA!?

pg 11

Nami: This is the route of the Going Merry up to this point.

Zorro: Hooo. You're drawing that, too?

: What's the point of that?

Nami: I'm recording the route the Pirate King takes for posterity. I bet you could sell a map of the route the Pirate King took for a lot of money!

Zorro: The Pirate King...... Ohh, him?

Nami: Yes. Him.

Luffy: Wahoo!

pg 12

Zorro: That's IF he can become the Pirate King; it's still hard to tell.

Nami: Oh-ho? Is that what you really think?

: There's no one other than him who will be recognized as Pirate King.

pg 13

: I think so. You think so.

: Am I wrong?

Zorro: ...Well, not wrong.

pg 14

Luffy: Ahoooy!

*biku* *startled*

Luffy: Nami!

: Island! An island!! Let's go!!

Nami: Right, right. *Which way now?*

Luffy: *Think there's any meat?*

Zorro: *Do you have meat running out of your ears?*

: Usopp! Sanji! Give me a hand!

Usopp: Hm?

Sanji: Right away, Nami-saaan!

pg 15

Zorro: [It's certainly not a broad back.]

: [Everyone has entrusted their life/route to that back.]

Luffy: What's up?

Zorro: Nothing's up, Captain.

*bosu* *pat*

pg 18

Zorro: [The reflection from his eyes is our compass needle.]
