The request illustration shows Vivi looking after a frog who has caught a cold, while Luffy and Carue play in the rain behind them. The caption says, "Request: 'Vivi looks after a frog who has caught a cold, while Luffy and Carue play in the rain' From Shibata Yuusaku-kun, Saitama-ken." It is a reader-request cover image, useful as chapter front matter but separate from the Punk Hazard story. Page 1: In the snow, Zoro, Brook, and Sanji in Nami's body stagger after the detour that pulled them away from the group. Sanji pants, "LOOKS LIKE I MUST'VE HIT MY HEAD ON THE WAY DOWN..." while Zoro says, "YES, THE SAME MUST HAVE HAPPENED TO ME... MY HEAD HURTS AWFULLY..." Brook remembers the reason they lost time: "JUST WHAT WE NEEDED, ANOTHER SETBACK. THAT SAMURAI HAD BETTER BE ALL RIGHT..." Sanji, embarrassed by their collective mistake, says, "SAYS THE GUY WHO TOOK US OFF ON A MASSIVE DETOUR." Zoro insists, "I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT WAS A UNANIMOUS DECISION!" Brook mourns the lost mystery of the snow shadows, saying, "SUCH A PITY THAT WE NEVER FOUND IT IN THE END..." and "BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET THE OTHERWORLDLY SIGHT OF THOSE SHADOWS IN THE SNOW..." Zoro rejects the drama: "DON'T MAKE IT SOUND ALL ROMANTIC. YOU WERE SHOUTING ABOUT IT BEING AN ENEMY ATTACK!" Brook protests, "I WAS NEVER!" but then proudly declares, "I SAY MYSTERIES OUGHT TO BE SOLVED AND BE DONE WITH IT." Page 2: One hour earlier, Brook had been calling through the blizzard: "SAMURAI!!" and "WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?!" He begged the samurai's missing part, "OH, MY...?! COME OVER HERE, YOU TWO!!! I THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS!!" The group finds a trail of huge footprints in the snow. Sanji asks, "COULD THESE BE THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE LEGENDARY ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN?!" Brook grows excited: "WHOAH!!! IS THIS FOR REAL?! MYSTERY FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW?!!" He notes that "THEY'RE REMARKABLY BIG," "IT'S QUITE UNBELIEVABLE!!" and "THEY'RE RECENT, AS WELL!!!" His conclusion is immediate: "IF WE FOLLOW WHERE THEY LEAD...!! ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE AWAIT...!!" Zoro and Sanji watch the fantasy take over while the small portraits below show how completely they are being pulled into Brook's excitement. Page 3: The trail leads to a suspicious ending in the snow. Brook stops and says, "HM? A DEAD END?!" From behind, the Yeti Cool Brothers' attack begins with sharp shots of "JAKIN!!" The group finally sees the "GIANT SHADOWS IN THE SNOW!!" and someone shouts, "AHHHHH!!! LOOK - BEHIND US!! GIANT SHADOWS IN THE SNOW!" Brook gasps, "THE LEGENDARY-" while another voice wonders, "COULD THEY... COULD THEY REALLY BE...?" Gas spreads from the ambush, and a victim screams, "AAA GHHH HH!!" Brook realizes the symptoms are wrong: "UGHH...? WH...WHAT IS THIS... SOME KIND OF GAS?!" His tongue grows heavy: "THURRENLY MY TUNG FEERS ALL HEABBY...!! AN' I'B SO...SLEEPY..." He staggers, "IT'TH LIKE I'M REARRY DRUNK OR SOMETHIN..." and asks, "C...COULD THIS BE AN ENEMY ATTACK?!" Page 4: The Yeti Cool Brothers watch their trap unfold. One explains that "NO MATTER HOW HARDY A STOMACH FOR ALCOHOL A MAN MAY HAVE, ONE SNIFF FROM THESE KYP GAS SHELLS... ...AND HE'LL BE HOPELESSLY DRUNK AND FRIGHTFULLY TIRED...!!" Down below, at "AREA F-16," a bed of icicles waits. "AND DOWN BELOW THIS CLIFF... ...AWAITS AREA F-16. A BED OF ICICLES WITH NO HOPE OF ESCAPE!!!" he says, sealing their fate. Sanji realizes too late: "A BED OF SPIKES?!" Zoro and Brook are already dangling or falling, and Brook sleeps with "ZZZZZZZ" while someone yells, "OI, YOU TWO!!" The group survives the fall only narrowly. Zoro pants, "THAT WAS... CLOSE..." as the ice spikes jut below them. Page 5: The brothers report their success at "AREA F-16": "WE'VE FOUND THE THREE DEAD STRAW HAT PIRATES, JUST AS INSTRUCTED. PROCEEDING TO RECOVER THE BODIES!!" The word "dead" wakes Sanji's fury. He lifts his head and snarls, "WHO'RE YOU CALLING DEAD...?" The shocked soldiers shout, "WHAT THE -?! THIS ONE'S STILL ALIVE!!" and "STILL, A LONE WOMAN AGAINST THIS MANY CAN HARDLY -" Sanji answers with a brutal kick and shouts, "IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY OF YOU WEAKLINGS THERE ARE!!!" The ambushers are sent flying as Sanji protects Nami's body despite the damage it has already taken. Page 6: Sanji, still in Nami's body, calms himself because "THIS IS NAMI'S DELICATE BODY, AFTER ALL... CAN'T HAVE IT GETTING BRUISED AND BATTERED." He apologizes softly, "MY APOLOGIES, NAMI-SAN... NOW, THEN..." and turns back to the task. The two fallen crewmates remain unconscious until Sanji kicks them awake: "WAKE UP, YOU TWO MOR...
