The illustration features Jango and Fullbody dancing enthusiastically in a town square, surrounded by a cheering crowd. Text at the bottom reads: "JANGO'S DANCE PARADISE VOL.28 'THE TWO DANCING HEROES, BABY~!'". Page 1: A close-up shows Luffy panting heavily, his tongue hanging out, as he grips a wooden walking stick. He groans, "UGHH...". Below, a wide shot depicts the vast, rolling sand dunes of the desert under a blazing sun. Sound effects indicate the intense, sizzling heat radiating from the sand. Page 2: The Straw Hat crew trudges through the desert heat. Usopp, leaning on a stick, complains, "CAN'T EVEN... SWEAT ANYMORE...". Luffy, panting with his tongue out, groans, "UGHH... I'M ROASTING UP...". Sanji, walking behind them, says, "Just hearing it is tiring me out...! Can you please stop panting like that, Luffy!?". Luffy is dragging Chopper on a small wooden sled. Chopper, lying flat, says, "I'M DONE FOR... I'M FINE WITH THE COLD BUT THE HEAT'S NO GOOD...". Nami points out, "It's because you're so fluffy." Usopp suggests, "Maybe you oughta take off your fur coat?". Chopper angrily yells back, "YOU MAKIN' FUN OF ME JUST 'CAUSE I'M A REINDEER!?". Usopp recoils, screaming, "GYAAA! MOOOONSTEEER!". Luffy yells at Chopper, "CHOPPER! I'M NOT GONNA PULL YOU IF YOU TURN BIG!". Meanwhile, Sanji smokes a cigarette and observes Vivi, saying, "...You seem to be holdin' up pretty well, Vivi." Vivi, wearing a hooded cloak, replies, "Well, I was born and raised in this country." Sanji looks around and asks, "Man, what is up with all these hills?". Vivi clarifies, "It's like I'm hiking up a mountain here...". Page 3: Vivi explains the terrain to Usopp: "This is a very old desert. Some of the larger sand dunes here reach over 300 meters." Usopp is shocked, his jaw dropping: "T-three hundred!? I thought this was a desert, not a mountain range...". Luffy holds a small water barrel to his mouth, saying, "WATER...". Vivi cautions him, "Remember, Luffy. One gulp, just enough to moisten your throat." Luffy replies, "RIGHT...". However, Luffy takes a massive gulp, his cheeks bulging comically as the sound "GULP!" is heard. Usopp yells, "THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH!". Luffy spits the water out in a spray: "PFFFFT!". Usopp angrily demands, "GIVE ME SOME WATER! YOU JUST HAD LIKE, 13 GULPS!". Luffy argues back, "NO, YOU HAD YOUR TURN BEFORE HIM! IT'S MY TURN TO DRINK NEXT!". Usopp retorts, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR! I SPAT OUT THE WATER 'CAUSE OF YOU SO IT DOESN'T COUNT!". Luffy yells, "DOESN'T COUNT, MY ASS!". Nami, exasperated, yells at both of them, "PLEASE STOP FIGHTING! YOU'LL ONLY TIRE YOURSELVES OUT EVEN MORE!". Page 4: Luffy eagerly suggests, "Hey Sanji, let's open up that special 'Pirate Lunchbox' now!". Sanji refuses, "No. Not until Vivi says ok." Vivi, looking exhausted, says, "Vivi, let's have lunch already. I don't have any strength...". Nami apologizes to Luffy, "I'm sorry Luffy, but we're only a quarter of the way to Yuba right now." Luffy argues, "Well that's a pretty stupid reason. Haven't you ever heard of the proverb, 'EAT WHEN THE STOMACH GROWLS.'" Usopp scolds him, "Hey, don't just make up stuff now." Vivi smiles kindly and proposes, "Alright, how does a break at the next rock we walk by sound?". Luffy cheers enthusiastically, "Woohoo! To a rock we go!". The crew continues walking across the vast dunes. Luffy looks around eagerly, asking, "Rock? Where are you, rock...?". Page 5: Luffy is now dragging a massive pile of the crew's luggage, tied together with rope, across the sand. He pants heavily, "SO HEAVY... HEAVY... AND HOT...". Zoro, walking ahead, remarks, "Hey, it's not our fault you lost at rock-paper-scissors and have to carry all our stuff." Sanji adds, "Make sure not to drop our bags!". Luffy groans, "UGHH...". Suddenly, Usopp, looking through his goggles, spots something and yells, "AGHHH! ROCK SIGHTED AT 12 O'CLOCK!". Luffy's eyes widen in excitement: "REALLY!?". Shouting "BREAK TIME!", Luffy dashes off at incredible speed, leaving a massive cloud of dust in his wake. Usopp is stunned by his sudden burst of energy, exclaiming, "HOLY CRAP, HE'S FAST!". Page 6: Luffy reaches the shade of some large rock formations and drops the heavy luggage with a thud. He slumps against the bags, sighing in relief, "FINALLY, A SHADE! AWWW... IT FEELS GREAT!". As he rests, he notices a group of birds lying motionless on the ground nearby. He looks closer, "Hmm?". Luffy suddenly turns and runs back out into the sun towards the rest of the crew. Usopp sees him coming and asks, "Huh? Why's he running back here?". Luffy waves his arms and yells, "GUYS, COME QUICK!". He reaches them, panting, and says, "There're some injured birds over here! Chopper! You've gott...
