The cover story is titled "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 38 'REMEMBERING OLD DREAMS UNDER THE SUNSET'". Hatchan the fishman sits on a rock at the bottom of the ocean, resting his chin on his hands with a wistful expression. Beside him, a mermaid and a starfish are looking at him. Above Hatchan's head is a large thought bubble showing his dream: he is happily running a takoyaki stand, holding skewers of takoyaki, while two other fishmen, Kuroobi and Chew, run alongside him carrying the cart. Page 1: Outside the bar, Bellamy's crew and other onlookers are laughing uproariously. "AHAHAHA! LOOK AT'EM! THEY'RE STILL TRYIN' TO STAND BACK UP!" one shouts. Another asks, "What's going on?" and is told, "Bellamy and his crew are showcasing a public lynching." Inside, Bellamy grins wickedly, shouting, "Show them that this ain't a town for dreamin' weaklings! Hahahaha!" His crewmates chime in, "Hoho! Just kill'em! Spineless idiots are better off dead!" Nami, furious and crying out, yells, "LUFFY! ZORO! JUST KICK THEIR ASSES ALREADY! What're you messing around with these trash for!?" A crewmate of Bellamy's smirks at her, saying, "Haha... It's no use, missy. These two are smarter than you think. They realized they were no match for us. Avoiding fights with strong people... A sensible, but utterly spineless choice, I have to say!" Page 2: The mockery continues inside the bar. "Hahaha... Looks like your captain ain't got one shred of self-respect!" a pirate laughs. Another adds, "The marines these days sure are generous, Giving a pipsqueak like him a price of 30 million beli..." Nami stands frozen, looking shocked and confused. "Why..." she murmurs. Luffy, his face bruised and bleeding, speaks quietly to Zoro: "ZORO... DON'T RESPOND AT ALL TO THEIR JEERS..." Nami asks, "What's wrong with you two...?" Close-up panels show Luffy and Zoro, both heavily battered, bleeding from their heads and mouths, staring blankly ahead and refusing to fight back as blood drips from their faces. Page 3: Bellamy takes a swig from a bottle at the bar, mocking them further. "Pacifism... Sure, that ideal might not sound so bad at first... But you've got no pride on top of being weak, And you can't even fight back when it's forced on you... And yet your head's full of nothin' but dreams..." His crewmates agree, laughing, "...Just like a maggot." "You said it!" Nami glares angrily, trembling with frustration. Bellamy turns his back on Luffy and Zoro, waving his hand dismissively. "I'm through, I'm through... I came because I was curious about the weak-looking pipsqueak who had 30 million for his head, but... Man, what a letdown! Worse than even my lowest expectations! Never seen someone THIS cowardly..." Page 4: Bellamy suddenly turns and spits his drink directly into Luffy's face. Luffy takes it without reacting, just coughing slightly as the liquid hits him. "Somebody get these losers outta my sight!" Bellamy demands. He then glares menacingly at Zoro, his face twisted in anger. "YOU'RE AN EYESORE," he growls. In a swift, violent motion, Bellamy grabs Zoro by the back of the head and slams his face brutally into the wooden bar counter, shattering the wood. Page 5: Bellamy continues his assault, smashing Zoro completely through the wooden counter and into the floor below, sending splinters flying. Luffy coughs, blood dripping from his face, as he watches. Bellamy's crew bursts into laughter again. "HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA!" "LOOK AT'EM!" Bellamy then turns his attention to Luffy, grabbing him by the head and violently slamming him face-first into the floor as well, creating a large impact and sending debris scattering across the room. Page 6: Luffy and Zoro lie motionless in the wreckage of the bar, bleeding heavily. Bellamy's crew continues to laugh at them. Nami cries out in distress, "ZORO! LUFFY!" Bellamy approaches Nami, towering over her with a smug grin. "Hey girl! You'll never get anywhere in the coming new age if you stick around guys like them! How 'bout I buy you off? Name your price!" Nami glares up at him, furious. "...What did you just say!?" she asks. Bellamy smirks, "You think you can BUY me? That's right. You'll have more fun with us, y'know?" Page 7: Nami smiles confidently, her expression shifting from anger to defiance. "HA! SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT... I'D BE WASTED ON YOU AND YOUR SMALL-TIME CREW!" she declares. Bellamy's crewmates react with indignation. "HAHA! SO YOU THINK YOU'RE WORTH THAT MUCH!?" one scoffs. Bellamy throws his head back and laughs uproariously. "HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA! THE WHOLE CREW'S A BAG OF LOONS! They're beyond saving!" he shouts, mocking Nami's loyalty to her defeated crewmates...
