All of a sudden, there was a thunderous boom, and an enormous chunk of ice fell from the sky—super huge, even bigger than a person's head.
"It's hailing!"
"They're huge! This is dangerous!" Robin said.
Then, with another thunderous crash, they felt the hailstones smashing into the ship. The deck planks looked like they had been shattered.
"The deck's been punched full of holes!"
Bartolomeo immediately said, "Luffy-senpai, get inside the cabin, quick!"
At that moment, Luffy stood up with a piece of meat in hand. "What are you talking about? We'll help too!"
Franky said, "Which way are we supposed to steer? Who's the navigator? Give us some instructions already!"
Bartolomeo and his men shook their heads. "We don't have a navigator. We're just gangsters from the land." They laughed awkwardly.
Usopp was so startled by that answer that his eyes bulged. "This is the New World!"
One of their crew members picked up a Transponder Snail and asked, "Hello? Grandma? It's Gambia. Huge hailstones are falling from the sky!"
Bartolomeo said, "Whenever that guy runs into trouble, he calls his grandma back in the countryside on the Transponder Snail."
"Really? You have an advisor who knows the seas well?" Usopp asked.
Gambia grinned. "Got it. There's a lot of gum stuck to the deck that you can't scrape off, right?"
"Yeah, yeah! It's been a real headache."
"Wrap the hailstones in cloth, then use them to freeze the gum," Gambia said.
One of the crew members followed Gambia's instructions, and the gum came right off. "It actually peeled off really easily!"
Usopp broke down. "Who needs household tips at a time like this?!"
Suddenly, a chunk of ice smashed into one of Bartolomeo's crew members' heads.
Usopp was utterly horrified. "See?! Look, he got hit!"
