The cover story is "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 5 'HACHI COMES ACROSS A STARVING MAN'". The illustration shows Hatchan underwater, holding out a large piece of meat on a bone to a starving, ragged-looking man sitting on a rock. The man has a star-shaped head or hair and a sun tattoo on his arm, and he is drooling at the sight of the food. Page 7: The story opens in the chaotic streets of Alubarna. Koza, the leader of the rebel army, is engaged in fierce combat. He swings his sword, yelling "UGHH!", as he clashes with a royal guard. The battle is intense, with dust and debris flying. Koza is struck and sent tumbling backward, hitting the ground hard with a "THUD!!". He slides across the sandy ground, coming to a halt. Page 8: Koza is on his knees, panting heavily, "HUFF... HUFF... NGH!". A fellow rebel runs up to him, asking, "KOUZA! Is the bullet wound from Nanohana still hurting y-". Koza cuts him off, gripping his sword tightly, "This is a battlefield! Stop worrying about such trivialities!" He stands up, declaring, "In any case, I need to get myself a horse! If I can just make it out of the town center, I can then head to the Northern Block where the palace is!" The rebel is shocked, "That's crazy! The Northern Block is guarded by the bulk of the Royal Army, not to mention Pell and Chaka!" Koza ignores the warning, stating, "I'm going to demand a surrender from the king." He leaps forward, shouting, "LEND ME A HAND!" The rebel tries to stop him, "There's no need for you to risk going in deep alone! Most of us rebels haven't even arrived yet! We still have reinforcements coming in from the other towns!" Koza simply replies, "...It's already too late."
