The illustration features a large bird, resembling a pelican or seagull, flying high above the ocean. The bird is uniquely outfitted with a pilot's leather cap and goggles strapped to its head. Far below, riding the waves of the sea, the small pirate ship, the Going Merry, can be seen sailing towards the horizon. Page 1: Zoro is shown in a close-up, his face tense and sweating as he grips the hilt of his sword, grunting "NRGH! NRGH!" in frustration. The scene shifts to a vast desert landscape where a giant crab is scuttling rapidly across the dunes, kicking up clouds of sand. A conversation is happening among the passengers riding the crab. Someone remarks, "And ever since then, crabs all around the world have realized just how bow-legged they were..." which prompts a realization: "OHHH! SO THAT'S WHY THEY WALK SIDEWAYS!" Another voice yells, "YOU BOW-LEGGED FREAK!" and continues, "And that's when I yelled..." On the crab's back, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and Vivi are gathered. Nami, looking annoyed, tells Zoro, "Zoro, stop wasting energy pointlessly." Zoro angrily snaps back, "SHUT UP!" Sanji, smoking a cigarette, calmly advises Nami, "Just leave him and the others be, Nami..." Meanwhile, Usopp is telling a story to Chopper, gesturing with his hands: "And there was another twerp hopping behind him then... It was a shrimp!" Chopper is amazed, "OHHH! SO SHRIMPS ARE CRABS?" Usopp confidently replies, "Yup, they're crabs." The giant crab continues its swift journey across the desert sands. Page 2: Sanji sits relaxed, smoking his cigarette, and analyzes the situation. "They need something to keep their minds preoccupied so they can calm down," he observes. "They're no good at maintaining composure... Especially that muscle-head. He's feeling insecure because he's realized the gap between him and a Shichibukai." Zoro, overhearing this, glares fiercely at Sanji and demands, "What're you implying, exactly? Out with it!" Sanji doesn't back down, stating bluntly, "Fine, I'll say it. You're scared that Luffy might lose." This strikes a nerve; Zoro's face contorts in rage as he yells, "ME...? SCARED...!?" He challenges Sanji, "SAY THAT AGAIN, PRETTY-BROWS!" Sanji starts to reply, "WHA-" but Zoro interrupts, screaming, "THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL ME!? YOU LITTLE... MARIMO-HEAD!" Sanji retorts, "WHAT WAS THAT!?" as the two prepare to clash. Nearby, Usopp and Chopper are panicking. Usopp, sweating profusely, declares, "EVERYONE'S ON EDGE BECAUSE OF WHO WE'RE UP AGAINST... IT'S TIMES LIKE THESE THAT I, AS THE VICE-CAPTAIN, HAVE TO TAKE CHARGE!" Suddenly, Nami loses her temper and delivers a swift beating to the bickering crewmates. She yells, "QUIT IT, YOU DUMBASSES! YOU WANNA FIGHT..." She then turns to the group with a confident smile, reassuring them, "Luffy won't lose! It'll be fine, guys!"
