Text reads "CHAPTER 73" and "THE MONSTER FROM GRAND LINE". The illustration shows Buggy the Clown laughing loudly, standing with his arms wide open. Behind him are Alvida, holding her iron mace, and Mohji the beast tamer. A caption at the bottom reads, "ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL. 26 'HOPE I DIDN'T MAKE YOU WAIT TOO LONG, YOU SCALLYWAGS!'" Page 1: At the main entrance of Arlong Park, a large whole pig is roasting on a spit over a roaring fire. Sitting nearby is the octopus fishman Hatchan, holding a trumpet. He looks at the roasting pig and says, "LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TIME!" He hums, "DOO DOO DAH DOO." Hatchan then raises the trumpet to his mouth and blows a loud, blaring tune: "BUPAPA BUPAPA BUPAPAPAA BUPAPAPAA..." He shouts out toward the water, "MOMOO! TIME FOR YOUR MEAL!" Page 2: Out in the water, a massive, dark silhouette of a horned sea monster emerges, accompanied by a rumbling "ZOOOOOOO" sound. A speech bubble from the creature reads "BUPAPAPA!". The creature's large head breaks the surface, water bubbling around it with a "GOBO GOBO GOBO" sound as it sniffs the air, "SNIFF SNIFF". Back inside Arlong Park, Roronoa Zoro is lying on a lounge chair, waking up. He sits up, rubbing his head, and says, "HUH? WHAT'S THAT TRUMPET NOISE I HEARD JUST NOW...?" Around him, several fishmen lie unconscious on the ground, defeated. Page 3: Hatchan stands by the roasting pig, looking confused. He says, "THAT'S STRAAAANGE.... WHAT'S WITH HIM!? ROASTED PIG SHOULD BE HIS FAVOURITE! MAYBE HE ALREADY HAD HIS MEAL...? WELL, I'LL JUST EAT THIS THEN!" Zoro approaches him from behind. Hatchan turns around, startled, exclaiming "NYU!" Zoro asks, "WAS THAT... YOU WHO BLEW THAT TRUMPET JUST NOW?" Hatchan stammers, "W-WHO ARE YOU!? WHO, ME? I'M HACCHAN! YOU CAN CALL ME HACHI!" Zoro stares at him blankly. Hatchan continues, "SO YOU'RE A FISHMAN TOO? YUP, YUP! I'M A CHARMING OCTOPUS FISHMAN! I FEEL LIKE I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE...! ARE YOU WITH THE MARINES? OR ARE YOU A GUEST?" Zoro replies calmly, "GUEST? YEAH... I'M PROBABLY MORE OF A GUEST." Page 4: Hatchan, still oblivious, says, "BUT YOU KNOW, ARLONG'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW. YEAH, HE'S NOT. WHERE'D HE GO? BUT ARLONG WENT TO COCOYASHI VILLAGE TO GO CATCH THE OTHER HUMAN! IT SEEMS THAT THIS LONG NOSED INTRUDER GOT AWAY FROM US. WE ALREADY HAVE ONE OF HIS COMPANIONS TIED UP HERE," Zoro thinks to himself, "MUST BE USOPP... WELL, I GUESS I'LL GO SAVE HIM IN THE MEANWHILE... HOW CAN I GET TO THAT VILLAGE?" Hatchan, with a question mark over his head, offers, "GET ON! YOU'RE A GUEST, AREN'T YOU? I'LL GIVE YOU A LIFT!" Meanwhile, out at sea, Luffy, Sanji, and Yosaku are sitting around a table on their small boat, eating a meal. Luffy suddenly looks up and asks, "WHAT'S THAT?" Sanji looks shocked, his cigarette dropping from his mouth. Yosaku screams in terror, "AGHHHHHH!". Page 5: A gigantic sea cow with a ring in its nose looms over their small boat, casting a massive shadow. It sniffs the air, "SNIFF SNIFF...". Yosaku screams in absolute terror, "IT'S A SEA MONSTERRRRRR!!!" A close-up shows the sea cow's face staring down at them with large eyes. A text box introduces the creature: "CAME OUT TO THE WRONG PLACE. MEMBER OF THE ARLONG PIRATES FIGHTER THE SEA COW MOMOO". A rumbling "GOGOGOGOGO" sound effect surrounds the massive beast. Page 6: Yosaku is in full panic mode, yelling, "WHAT'S A CREATURE LIKE THIS DOING IN EAST BLUE! IT'S INCONCEIVABLE!" Sanji, calmly smoking his cigarette, observes, "A COW? AND IT SWIMS? ISN'T THAT JUST A.. HIPPO?" Luffy looks up in awe, his mouth wide open, "A COW! IT'S SOOOO BIG!" Momoo leans closer to the boat, sniffing the air again, "SNIFF SNIFF". Yosaku screams, "THIS IS A GRAND LINE MONSTER!" Momoo stares intently at the food on their table, sniffing "KUN KUN". Sanji deduces, "IT MUST WANT THE FOOD!" Luffy angrily replies, "WHAT!?" Yosaku frantically yells, "HURRY UP AND JUST GIVE THE FOOD BEFORE HE OVERTURNS OUR SHIP!" Page 7: Luffy stretches his arm far back, his knuckles cracking with a "BAKI" sound. He yells, "GOMU GOMU PISTOL!!" and launches a powerful punch straight into Momoo's face. The impact lands with a massive "BAM!!!!" Momoo is sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the water with a huge splash, "ZABAAAN". Page 8: Luffy points an angry finger forward, shouting, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY FOOD!" Yosaku cheers enthusiastically, "YOU DID IT, BROTHER LUFFY! THAT WAS AMAZING!" Suddenly, Sanji kicks Luffy hard in the back of the head with a "GAKIN!!!" sound. Sanji yells angrily, "YOU DUMBASSES! DON'T JUST BEAT UP SOMETHING ONLY FOR BEING HUNGRY!" Momoo rises from the water again, looking furious and roaring, "MOOOOOO!" Yosaku screams, "AGHH...
