The chapter title "STORM" is at the top. Nami, wearing a red shirt and brown boots, sits on the grass and cheerfully hugs a large white bird with black and white wings. The bird wears a blue "MARINE" hat and a blue neckerchief. A straw hat rests on a red mailbox to the right. The sky is blue with fluffy clouds and a few seagulls flying. Page 2: Inside the Baratie restaurant, a loud voice shouts from off-panel, "HOW COULD OUR ENTIRE FLEET BE SUNK BY A SINGLE MAN!?" Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Zeff, and several cooks are gathered around, looking toward the source of the voice. Zeff, holding a large fork, looks serious and says, "THE WORK OF THE HAWK-EYED MAN, WITHOUT A DOUBT... THAT HAD TO BE..." In the next panel, Gin is shown kneeling on the floor, clutching his head in despair and trembling silently. Page 3: Gin looks up in shock, repeating, "HAWK-EYED MAN!?" Sanji stands in the background smoking, while Patty looks on, stammering "H..." Zeff stands firmly with his arms crossed, explaining, "YOU SAYING THAT YOU WITNESSED A MAN, WHOSE GLARE WAS AS SHARP AS THAT OF A HAWK DOESN'T NECESSARILY PROVE IT WAS HIM, BUT THE FACT THAT HE SUNK YOUR ENTIRE FLEET, IS MORE THAN ENOUGH PROOF THAT IT REALLY WAS HIM...!" Luffy, sitting on a table, casually asks, "WHO'S THAT?" Usopp, sitting next to him, replies, "BEATS ME." Suddenly, Usopp's eyes widen in realization and he starts sweating, stammering, "HAWK-EYED...!? H..." Page 4: Usopp turns to Zoro, recalling, "ACCORDING TO WHAT JOHNNY SAID..." Luffy looks confused, saying "HUH!?" Zoro looks serious and confirms, "HE'S THE MAN I'M SEARCHING FOR.." Meanwhile, the Baratie cooks start gossiping. One says, "HAWK-EYED MAN, HUH..." Another adds, "IF IT'S THE RED-EYED MAN, I REMEMBER HIM COMING TO THIS SHOP BEFORE." A third clarifies, "RIGHT, YOU MEAN THAT GUY WHO GOT SO PISS-DRUNK FROM WINE THAT HIS EYES TURNED RED." Another laughs, "YEAH, THAT IDIOT WHO CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BLEW UP. HEH HEH, THAT WAS QUITE A SIGHT." Hearing this, Zoro looks annoyed and mutters, "NO, NEVER MIND." Luffy asks, "HM? WHAT ABOUT JOHNNY?" Zoro recalls Johnny telling him, "EVEN THAT 'HAWK-EYED MAN' YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HAS BEEN SIGHTED THERE ONCE BEFORE." Zoro realizes with frustration, "THAT IDIOT GOT HIS INFORMATION MIXED UP!" Page 5: Gin yells angrily, tears in his eyes, "THAT'S BULLSHIT! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME HE DESTROYED OUR ENTIRE FLEET FOR THAT!?" Zeff calmly suggests, "PERHAPS YOU DISTURBED HIS AFTERNOON NAP..." Gin retorts, "I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING LIKE THAT! HE JUST ATTACKED US ALL OF A SUDDEN!" Sanji, smoking nearby, wonders, "FOR HIM TO DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE FLEET LIKE THAT...? DID HE BEAR SOME ILL GRUDGE AGAINST YOU GUYS," Zeff turns away, saying, "NO NEED TO GET SO IRRITATED, IT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE. THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF PLACE GRAND LINE IS." Usopp panics, yelling at Luffy, "COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY TO THINK OF THE DANGER!?" But Luffy is thrilled, pumping his fists and laughing, "WE DEFINITELY GOTTA GO THERE! HEE HEE! THAT SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A THRILL!" Zoro smirks, adding, "A PLACE WHERE EVEN THE ABNORMAL IS NORMAL, HUH." Sanji watches them, a question mark floating near his head. Page 6: Zoro smiles confidently, resting his hand on his swords. "BUT WITH THIS IT LOOKS LIKE MY OWN GOAL, IS INEXTRICABLY TIED WITH GRAND LINE, CONSIDERING THAT 'THAT MAN' IS THERE AS WELL!" Sanji exhales smoke and remarks, "...BUNCH OF IDIOTS. YOU LOT ARE THE TYPE TO RUSH TO THEIR DEATHS." Luffy looks over at Sanji and replies, "TRUE, BUT I'D RATHER HAVE YOU LEAVE OUT THE 'IDIOT' PART..." Zoro's expression turns dead serious as he states, "EVER SINCE I'VE DECIDED TO BECOME THE WORLD'S GREATEST SWORDSMAN, I THREW AWAY MY ATTACHMENT TO LIFE. THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO CALL ME AN IDIOT IS ME ALONE." Page 7: Sanji looks unimpressed, exhaling smoke. "...PSH, WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP." Zoro slightly draws his sword with a clack, calling him a "LIAR." Luffy laughs cheerfully, raising his arms, "OOH! ME TOO! AS A REAL MAN, THE SAME GOES FOR ME TOO." Zeff watches the exchange silently. Suddenly, Gin yells at them, "HEY, RETARDS! HAVEN'T YOU REALIZED THE SITUATION WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW!?" Sanji and Luffy turn to look at him. Patty then shouts aggressively, "THE GIGANTIC GALLEON THAT'S PARKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR RESTAURANT, BELONGS TO THE PIRATE FLEET ADMIRAL DON KRIEG! THE SHIP OF THE STRONGEST PIRATE IN ALL OF EAST BLUE...
