The caption box at the bottom reads 'GEDATSU'S LIFE IN BLUE SEA VOL. 22 "GORO, TOTO'S YOUNGER BROTHER AND KOHZA'S UNCLE, HAPPENS TO COME HOME."' In the center of the illustration, Gedatsu is warmly shaking hands with an older man wearing a turban and desert robes, who is identified as Goro. Standing just behind them is another man with distinctive dreadlocks, known as Dirt Boss. The three figures are standing in front of a small building that has a traditional hot spring symbol on it, suggesting they have established a bathhouse. Palm trees surround the building, indicating a warm climate. The iconic One Piece logo is displayed at the top of the page, and the author's name, Eiichiro Oda, is written at the bottom. Page 1: Sanji is running frantically down a street, a cigarette clenched in his teeth, his face contorted in panic as he yells at the top of his lungs, 'HEY, HEY!!! THERE'S A FREAKIN' GIANT HIGH TIDE CALLED AQUA LAGUNA COMIN' THIS WAY-----!!!' Running right beside him is Chopper in his Heavy Point form, looking equally terrified with his mouth wide open as he screams, 'YEAH, YEAH!!! THIS TOWN'S GONNA SINK AT AROUND MIDNIGHT!!! THE BEACH IS GONNA GO "BLOOP"!!!' The two of them sprint desperately, with Sanji urging them forward, 'THIS'S BAD!!! WE CAN'T JUST STAND AROUND DOING NOTHING!!! WE GOTTA GET TO A HIGHER PLACE!!!' Chopper wholeheartedly agrees, crying out in fear, 'YEAH, YEAH!!! WE GOTTA TAKE REFUGE!!! REFUGE!!! REFUGE!!!' As they dash past, an unidentified man leaning casually against a wall glances at them silently, observing their frantic escape with a string of ellipses. Page 2: A wide, panoramic view of the city of Water 7 shows the intricate waterways and buildings. The wind is blowing strongly across the city, indicated by a large 'FWOOSH' sound effect. Someone remarks silently with ellipses and an exclamation mark in a speech bubble. In another part of the city, Usopp, who is heavily bandaged and wearing his signature goggles, looks up thoughtfully, wondering to himself, '... WHAT WAS THAT CONVERSATION...?' Meanwhile, panic ensues elsewhere as people run away in fear, shouting, '...?? RUN AWAY...!!!' Down at the docks, the Going Merry is moored, its pirate flag flapping violently in the strong wind. Usopp continues his train of thought, saying, 'SOMETHING ABOUT A HIGH TIDE... NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, THE WIND'S KINDA STRONG TODAY...' In the background of the dock scene, the tiny figures of Sanji and Chopper can be seen running and yelling in the distance. Page 3: A massive, angry crowd has gathered in front of the large gate of Dock 1, shouting, 'GET EM!!!' and 'DON'T LET THE ASSASSINS GET AWAY~~~!!!' In the midst of the chaos, Paulie has grabbed Nami roughly by the collar of her shirt. He glares at her, yelling, 'DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH US, YOU ASSASSIN!!! HOW DARE YOU SHOOT ICEBERG-SAN?!! I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY!!!' Nami struggles against his grip, protesting loudly, 'STOP IT!! LET GO OF ME!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!' Standing a short distance away, Luffy faces Paulie and the other Galley-La foremen—Rob Lucci, Kaku, Tilestone, and Peeply Lulu—who are lined up behind Paulie. Luffy demands, 'HEY!! STOP IT!!!' Nami reiterates, 'WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!' Paulie remains silent, while Luffy mutters, 'DAMN!!' Page 4: Paulie maintains his tight grip on Nami, telling her and Luffy, 'WE DON'T CARE HOW LONG YOU PLAN TO PLAY YOUR LITTLE GAME... BUT THIS IS IT FOR THE TWO OF YOU. HURTING THAT PERSON MEANS MAKING GALLEY-LA COMPANY YOUR ENEMIES.' Nami, looking distressed, argues back, 'EXACTLY!!! ROBIN DIDN'T HAVE ANY REASON TO TARGET ICEBERG ANYWAY!!!' Paulie, smoking his cigar, adds ominously, 'AND THIS CITY... WATER SEVEN ALSO BECOMES YOUR ENEMY!!!' The crowd behind the foremen cheers aggressively, 'CRUSH THEM!! GALLEY-LA COMPANY!!!' Suddenly, Franky, wearing his sunglasses, interrupts the scene, looking annoyed. He tells the Galley-La workers, 'GET OVER IT, PIRATES.' Luffy, frustrated by the accusations, yells out, 'YO!!! THAT'S NOT EVEN...!!! JUST LET ME TALK TO ICE-OSSAN!!!' Page 5: The battle between Luffy and the Galley-La foremen intensifies. Paulie launches an attack, throwing his thick ropes toward Luffy with a swift 'GRAB!' motion. Luffy quickly dodges backward, exclaiming 'WA!!!' as the ropes narrowly miss him. Paulie then pulls the ropes taut with a sharp 'SQUEEZE!' sound effect, trying to ensnare his target. Luffy leaps high into the air to avoid further entanglement, shouting 'WHOA!!!' as he flips backward gracefully. Paulie retracts his ropes, preparing for another powerful st...
