Below, an illustration shows Sanji relaxing on a striped couch in a cozy room. He is barefoot, wearing a black t-shirt and light pants rolled up to his calves, with a cigarette in his mouth. He rests his right arm on the back of the couch, right in front of a large, fluffy bulldog sitting behind him. A smaller dog stands on a book near Sanji's feet on the couch. In the foreground, a large, very fluffy dog sleeps on the floor next to a fishbowl containing a fish. A bottle of wine and an open book rest on the floor near Sanji's legs. The room features a window showing a lighthouse outside, a potted palm plant behind the couch, and a hanging lamp. Page 1: The page begins with a flashback scene showing a small coastal settlement with palm trees and a tall, strange wooden structure. A voice narrates, "The day we arrived at Jaya! May 21, 1122." Laughter rings out, "GYAHAHAHA," as someone shouts, "NOLAND! NOLAND!" The scene shifts to Montblanc Cricket in the present, who is smoking a cigarette and holding a hand to his ear, continuing the story: "Upon arriving at the island, we were immediately greeted with a cry from a most unusual bird from the forest, and a loud bell-ring." Below him, a silhouette of a bird with a large beak sits on a branch. Next to it, a massive golden bell is shown ringing loudly. Cricket's face is shown in close-up, smiling around his cigarette as he recounts the tale. The narration continues, "The sound from this enormous golden bell..." Page 2: The narration continues: "...Reverberated throughout the entire island, as if proudly proclaiming, the former glory of its ancient city. When reminded of the civilizations that have risen and fallen throughout the ages across this vast sea, we, who barely live a few decades at most and yet act as if we know all there is to this world, were too awestruck to utter even a single word. And so we simply stood there, silently listening to the bell ringing..." As the story is told, the Straw Hat crew is shown captivated. Luffy chews on a piece of meat with a wide grin. Zoro smiles while holding a bottle, and Chopper looks on in awe. Below, a lively party is in full swing. The crew and the Saruyama Alliance are drinking, eating, and cheering. Usopp and Chopper have chopsticks stuck in their noses and mouths, dancing wildly on a table. Sanji sits back with a drink, laughing, "UHAHAHAHA." Nami and Robin sit at the table, smiling. Nami remarks, "Amazing, a giant bell made from gold!" and "What a poet, that Noland!" Sanji adds, "Ha, so you do like Noland after all, don'cha, mister!?" Masira and Shoujou are also seen enjoying the feast. Page 3: A large, gleaming golden object shaped like a bell is presented with a "WHOA! IT'S THE GOLDEN BELL!" exclamation. However, Cricket, sitting shirtless with a cigarette, laughs heartily, "Gahahaha, this isn't the actual golden bell. This is just a gold ingot in the shape of a bell. I found 3 of these at the bottom of the ocean here!" Usopp, sweating slightly, asks, "Umm... What's so enormous about this?" Nami, holding the gold piece with dollar signs in her eyes, explains, "An ingot is a weight to weigh out precious metals. You can use it to trade and sell goods." Robin adds, "This is enough proof that a civilization existed here in these parts." Usopp questions, "Still, what's an ingot?" Shoujou, holding a small cup, says, "It's not too hard to find this much gold in any old ruin. Well, there's no solid proof of that." Luffy, sitting cross-legged with a mug, concludes, "Oh, so the city of gold does exist!" Page 4: Masira, wearing his "MASIRA" shirt, brings over another object, saying, "Yup." Luffy exclaims, "Whoa, there's more!?" Zoro notes, "This one's big!" Cricket tells him, "Show 'em, Masira. That's right. And the bird that Noland talked about in his log is..." A large, intricately carved golden statue of a bird's head with a prominent beak is revealed, shining brightly. Nami coos, "Ooohh... It's so pretty...!" Luffy asks, "What is it, a penguin?" Cricket laughs, "Hahaha...! May not be much for 10 years of diving but... This is the last one." Robin observes, "I think this was only a part of a larger piece." Cricket replies, "I don't know for sure, but..." Sanji, smoking, summarizes, "So these are the two symbols of Jaya's ancient civilization, huh... A golden bell and a bird..." Page 5: Luffy, Nami, and Cricket are gathered around the golden bird statue. Nami is completely enamored, hearts floating around her head. Cricket explains, "This is a real bird known as the Southbird, which still exists on this island." Luffy asks, "Is its cry really that strange?" Cricket confirms, "Yes...
