We return entering the house Luffy, Zero, Usopp, and Chopper found which so happens to be Tonjits home.
Tonjit: Finally, home after all these years. It's a custom in this village to treat visitors to extra delicious milk from our farm animals.
Zero: That sounds yummy, but I didn't see any cows.
Luffy: I didn't see any village out there either.
Chopper: Or a farmhouse.
Tonjit: Now that you mention it........OUR VILLAGE IS GONE!!!!!! OUR ANIMALS TOO!!!!
Usopp: You're nuts old man. I know it's been 10 years but whole villages don't disappear.
Tonjit: Yes, but this is a special case. I'll save the explanation until after we've had a nice cool drink. I believe I had some milk tucked away somewhere.
Usopp: Did you say milk? You realize you were stuck on those stilts for 10 years, right?
Tonjit opens the container he was keeping his milk in and pulls out a block of cheese.
Tonjit: Uhhhh I hope this cheese is to your liking.........
Usopp: Do you think we're stupid?! You can't pass off your disgusting old milk as cheese!!!!
Tonjit: If you don't wanna eat it I won't force you. Far be it from me to let cheese go to waste.
Luffy: Wait so you're saying it's ok to eat this stuff after all?
Usopp: Are you out of your mind?
He slaps Luffy's hand stopping him from taking a bite.
Zero: What's wrong, it tastes fine.
Usopp: Tell you didn't eat that?!!
Zero: I'm hungry.
Tonjit: What's the big deal? Some cheese taste better once it's finally aged. Your high stressed life style has made your stomachs weak while laid back fellows such as myself can eat whenever we like. You kids go on your fancy adventures but your shy when it comes to new food-
He falls onto the floor.
Tonjit*weak*: Someone call a doctor.
Usopp: What did you think was gonna happen moron?!!! Zero, spit it out right now!!
He headlocks Zero trying to make him throw up.
Zero: Usopp, you're choking me.
Chopper: A doctor! Somebody get a doctor!!!! Hurry!! Oh, wait that's me.
He rushes over to the old man and examines him.
Chopper: It's food poisoning.
Usopp: Yeah ya think?!
Zero: Usopp, let go........
Luffy: Hahaha. You're funny old man.
Chopper: You, ok?
Tonjit: Yes, excluding the fact the entire camp packed up and moved on without me.
Chopper: I see now the village didn't disappear it moved. That must mean the people here are Nomads
Tonjit: Indeed, and Long Ring Long Land Island is our home. You are welcome here.
Luffy: Oh, thanks.
Tonjit: The island got it's name from it's ring like shape. Although it's one big circle the tides divide it into 10 islands. You probably wouldn't guess that all the islands are connected but once a year when the tides are at their lowest you can see Long Rings true form. But only for a few hours. We use this time to migrate from one island to the next circling the ring again and again.
