"Is... is that dog over there your friend too?"
Usopp pointed at the giant komainu nearby, which Katakuri had also knocked unconscious and was now groggily getting to its feet, shaking its enormous head, and asked curiously.
"Ah! Yes!"
The little girl turned toward the komainu and happily ran over to hug its front leg:
"Its name is Komachiyo! It's my good friend. It fought that nasty baboon to protect me."
"Woof-"
Though Komachiyo was still a little dizzy, the little girl's touch immediately drew an affectionate rumble from it, and it licked her cheek with its large tongue.
"Hello, Komachiyo!"
Seeing that the enormous beast wasn't aggressive, Usopp immediately grew bolder. He stepped forward, gave two affected coughs, and thumped his chest:
"Nice to meet you! I'm a brave warrior of the sea with eight thousand followers. My name is Usopp!"
"Hey! Hello, Komachiyo! I'm a reindeer who ate the Human-Human Fruit. My name is Chopper! I'm also the ship's doctor!"
Chopper came over curiously too, his eyes shining as he looked at the enormous dog and greeted it excitedly.
Looking at the strange but very friendly members of Ronan's Group, the little girl let her guard down completely.
She took two steps back, solemnly lifted the hem of her kimono, and bowed deeply to everyone. Using the old-fashioned etiquette unique to the Land of Wano, she introduced herself in a clear, ringing voice:
"My saviors, it's a pleasure to meet you! My name is... Tama!"
"Tama? That's a lovely name."
Ronan, who had been standing quietly at the back observing them, slowly stepped forward.
He studied the girl from the Land of Wano before him and asked gently, with a hint of curiosity:
"Then, Tama, could you tell us exactly where in the Land of Wano we've landed?"
