"Help!"
"Save us!"

Although it was strange that such a miraculous train had appeared in the Calm Belt, which should have been deserted, the people aboard the Going Merry still began waving and shouting without hesitation.
As they waited anxiously, the Sea Train slowly decelerated with the ringing of its whistle.

In an instant, Nami and Usopp went deathly
