Below, a subtitle reads "ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL.23 'STRANGE BODY PARTS'". The illustration shows Mohji and Cabaji standing over a massive pile of disembodied body parts, which belong to Buggy. A large speech bubble with a question mark floats above them as they stare in confusion. In the background, Buggy's head is attached to a tiny body, and he is yelling angrily while standing near a small campfire. Page 1: Out on the sea, the Baratie restaurant ship floats peacefully. A voice asks, "Take, Sanji along...?" Inside, Luffy stands with a determined expression, flatly refusing, "DON'T WANNA." This causes an uproar among the Baratie staff. Zeff, looking stern with his arms crossed, demands, "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS? DIDN'T YOU WANT A COOK FOR YOUR SHIP!? WHAT, ARE YOU NOT SATISFIED WITH HIM?" Behind Zeff, Patty, Carne, and the other cooks react with exaggerated shock, their jaws dropping as they scream, "WHAAAAAAAT!?" A large impact sound effect emphasizes their disbelief. Page 2: Inside the Baratie dining room, Luffy sits on the floor casually eating a bowl of soup while Zeff stands nearby. Luffy explains, "NO, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M DISSATISFIED OR ANYTHING. I DO WANT HIM TO COME ALONG WITH ME," and adds, "BUT HE SAID HE WANTS TO STAY HERE AND BE A COOK." He concludes, "SO EVEN IF YOU TELL ME TO TAKE HIM WITH ME, I'M NOT GONNA." Zeff says the real problem is whether that rebellious brat will be honest with himself or not. Luffy, still eating, agrees, "...WELL, YOU DO HAVE A POINT." Zeff summarizes, "SO YOU WON'T ACCEPT UNLESS HE SAYS IT HIMSELF." Luffy confirms, "YUP. MORE SOUP." Outside on the deck, Sanji sits alone, smoking a cigarette and silently listening through the wall as Zeff says, "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HE'S TOO HARD HEADED FOR HIS OWN GOOD." Page 3: Suddenly, a massive splash erupts in the ocean near the Baratie. A frantic voice yells out a string of gibberish: "DABA DBABA BABA BABA BA! ABABABA BABEBU BABABAD ABA!" The water churns violently around the restaurant ship. Sanji, still smoking on the deck, turns his head in surprise, muttering, "WHA? HM?" The yelling continues, "DABABABABA!" A large, bizarre creature resembling a shark with panda markings bursts out of the water and flies toward the Baratie. Someone screams "AGHHHH!" as it hurtles toward the ship. Page 4: The Pandashark crashes violently onto the deck, smashing through the wooden railing with a loud "AGHHH!" and scattering debris. The creature lies motionless on the splintered wood. Sanji and several Baratie cooks gather around it in confusion. "SANJI!" one calls out. "WHAT IS THIS GUY?" asks another. "A MERMAID!?" Luffy and Sanji inspect the creature closely. Suddenly, the shark's mouth opens, revealing a battered and bandaged man inside. It's Yosaku. He weakly calls out, "AH... BROTHER LUFFY...!" Luffy, surprised, asks, "WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE ALONE? WHERE ARE THE OTHERS? AND WHAT ABOUT NAMI?" The cooks are baffled. "DID HE COME ALL THE WAY FROM FISHMAN ISLAND TO TRY OUR COOKING?" one wonders. Another retorts, "YOU IDIOT, THIS IS JUST A GUY IN A PANDASHARK." Sanji stares in disbelief, "WHAT THE..." while Luffy exclaims, "YOSAKU!" Page 5: Yosaku, now sitting on the floor inside the Baratie and covered in bandages, explains the situation to Luffy. "WE COULDN'T CATCH UP WITH SISTER NAMI BUT JUDGING FROM THE WAY SHE WAS HEADED, WE'RE PRETTY SURE WE KNOW WHERE SHE'S HEADED." Luffy, relieved, says, "OH GOOD. THEN LET'S GO AND BRING HER BACK." Yosaku's expression turns grave. "WELL UMM.. IF SHE'S HEADED TO WHERE WE THINK SHE'S HEADED TO, THEN IT'S AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS PLACE...! WELL, I'LL FILL YOU IN ON THE DETAILS LATER! IN ANY CASE, WE NEED YOUR STRENGTH, BRO! PLEASE COME RIGHT AWAY!" Luffy puts on his straw hat, looking determined. "OK! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT FINE! LET'S GO!" Just as they are about to leave, a voice from off-panel interrupts, "WAIT." Luffy stops and looks back with a confused "?" expression. Page 6: Sanji is leaning casually against the wall, smoking his cigarette. He looks over and says, "I'LL GO TOO. TAKE ME WITH YOU." Luffy turns around, his eyes wide with surprise, and says, "SANJI..." In the background, the Baratie cooks react with shock, exclaiming, "WHAT!?" Sanji maintains his cool demeanor, hands in his pockets, and explains his reasoning. "I'LL ACCOMPANY YOU ON YOUR WAY TO BECOMING THE PIRATE KING. SO I'LL TAG ALONG TO FULFILL MINE. AFTER ALL, WE BOTH HAVE CRAZY DREAMS." Page 7: Sanji looks directly at Luffy, offering his services. "I'LL BE THE COOK FOR YOUR SHIP. SOUND GOOD? OR BAD?" Luffy's face lights up with a massive, ecstatic smile. He throws his arms wide in the air and cheers, "SOUNDS GREAT! WOOHO...
