Luffy. Beside her, Buggy the Clown, currently in his miniature, deformed state, points angrily at Luffy's face on the poster. Page 1: Don Krieg stands imposingly on the deck of his ruined galleon, looking toward the Baratie. His men gather behind him, surveying the wreckage. Krieg remarks, "WELL, THAT WAS A BIT OF A NUISANCE, BUT IT'S NOTHING...! WE WERE ORIGINALLY PLANNING ON ABANDONING THIS SHIP ANYWAYS, SO WHO CARES IF IT'S BEEN DESTROYED." He then turns his attention to the restaurant ship, adding, "LOOK AT THAT GOOFY-LOOKING SHIP..." Page 2: Krieg continues addressing his crew, outlining his new plan. He explains that capturing the Baratie will give them a strategic advantage. "IF WE HAVE THAT BOAT, WE NEEDN'T FEAR EVEN GRAND LINE ANYMORE," he says. "HAVING THAT SHIP WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE, THAN HANGING A WHITE FLAG OR PRETENDING TO BE THE MARINES. IT'LL BE THE PERFECT DISGUISE FOR US." He elaborates, "IT'LL LOWER OUR ENEMIES' GUARDS AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SNEAK CLOSER TO ENEMY SHIPS THAN EVER BEFORE." His men listen as he concludes, "I SEE... NOBODY WOULD EVER SUSPECT THAT THERE'D BE PIRATES LYING IN WAIT, ON SUCH A STUPID LOOKING SHIP LIKE THAT. THIS ERA IS TEEMING WITH PIRATES ON EVERY OCEAN. REBUILDING OUR PIRATE FLEET WILL BE A PIECE OF CAKE!" Page 3: Krieg's men are terrified at the prospect of returning to the perilous waters they just escaped. One pirate stammers, "B-BUT DON...! WHEN WE GO BACK TO THE GRAND LINE, WHAT IF WE WERE TO COME ACROSS ANOTHER MONSTER LIKE THAT 'HAWK-EYES'..." The mere mention of Mihawk causes the crew to scream in fear, "GYAAAA!" Krieg looks back at them sternly, "YOU'RE STILL AFRAID OF THAT BASTARD!?" A pirate replies, "N-NO... DO YOU REALLY THINK A NORMAL PERSON CAN JUST CUT DOWN A GIGANTIC GALLEON!?" Another asks, "WHA!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, DON!?" Krieg answers, "ISN'T IT OBVIOUS THAT HE'S GOT SOME STRANGE POWER FROM A DEVIL FRUIT!?" Page 4: Krieg explains his theory to his crew. A shadowy image of Dracule Mihawk's piercing eyes and a small image of Luffy stretching appear as Krieg speaks. "DEVIL FRUIT USERS, WHO WE'VE ONLY HEARD OF IN LEGENDS AND HEARSAYS... THE GRAND LINE IS FULL OF 'EM!" he declares. "THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THE HAWK-EYED MAN USED SOME STRANGE POWER WHEN CUTTING OUR SHIP! EVEN THAT STRAWHAT-WEARING PUNK THERE WITH HIS WEIRD ABILITY IS JUST ANOTHER RUN OF THE MILL PIRATE IN GRAND LINE!" Krieg then points out a crucial detail: "BUT 'RED-LEGG ZEFF,' SPENT AN ENTIRE YEAR SAILING IN GRAND LINE, MEANING HE MUST'VE FOUND SOME METHOD TO DEAL WITH THOSE MONSTERS!" Page 5: Krieg rallies his men, revealing his ultimate goal. "AND THAT METHOD'S WRITTEN DOWN IN HIS TRAVEL LOG FOR SURE!" he shouts. "THERE MIGHT EVEN BE INFORMATION ON ONE PIECE IN HIS LOG AS WELL!" His crew's morale instantly shifts from fear to excitement. "AS EXPECTED FROM OUR DON KRIEG!" one yells. "SO THAT'S HOW IT WAS!" says another. Krieg declares, "ALL WE GOTTA DO IS GET OUR HANDS ON THAT LOG, AND ALL THE TREASURES OF THIS WORLD ARE OURS FOR THE TAKING!" He raises his weapon and commands, "ALRIGHT, YOU BASTARDS! LET'S TAKE OVER THAT RESTAURANT!" The pirates cheer enthusiastically, "YEAH!!!" Page 6: Inside the Baratie, Luffy laughs heartily, "WOAH! THEY'RE ALL FIRED UP TO FIGHT TOO!" He turns to Zeff, "HEY OLD MAN! IT'S A PROMISE, RIGHT!?" Zeff replies, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME TWICE. MY RESTAURANT WOULD BECOME A WRECK IF I LET YOU WORK HERE FOR A FULL YEAR ANYWAYS." Sanji, smoking a cigarette, asks, "WHERE'S PATTY AND CARNE?" A cook answers, "THEY'RE BUSY WITH THE BATTLE PREPARATIONS!" Sanji smirks, "THOSE GUYS SURE ARE RELIABLE IN TIMES LIKE THESE!" Zeff then gives an order: "ONLY IN TIMES LIKE THESE... YOU BETTER GO TO THE CONTROL ROOM AND OPEN UP THE 'FINS.'" A cook is shocked, "WHA... YOU SURE!? THAT'LL JUST GIVE OUR ENEMIES A FOOTHOLD...!" Zeff dismisses the concern, "DOESN'T MATTER." Sanji adds, "THE GEEZER WON'T SHUT UP IF WE FIGHT INSIDE THE RESTAURANT." Zeff glares back, "YOU SAY SOMETHING, BRAT?" Sanji retorts, "YEAH, I SAID YOU WON'T SHUT UP." The cook runs off, "ON IT RIGHT AWAY!" Page 7: Luffy takes action. He grabs the wooden railing of the Baratie and stretches his arms far back, preparing to launch himself. On the wreckage, the Krieg Pirates charge forward, yelling, "HAND THAT SHIP TO US, YOU PATHETIC COOKS!" and "LET'S GET THINGS STARTED!" Luffy calls out his attack, "GOMU GOMU... ROCKET!!" He slingshots himself through the air directly toward the pirates. The pirates panic as they see him flying at them: "AGHH! HE'S FLYIN' RIGHT TOWARDS US!" and "FOLLOW...
