The illustration is part of the "ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL.7 'CRASH LANDING IN THE ISLAND OF STRANGE BEASTS'". In a forest on the island of strange beasts, Buggy is shown at the right edge as a dark foreground silhouette, looking toward a group of bizarre animal hybrids. A central panda-like beast stands in the clearing, a long rabbit-snake creature coils and hangs from above, and a round pig-like beast stands nearby. Page 1: A seagull flies over the ocean waves. In the distance, the Going Merry sails alongside a smaller boat. A voice from the smaller boat shouts, "BROTHER ZORO! BROTHER LUFFY! BROTHER USOPP! BROTHER NAMI! WE'RE HERE AT THE RESTAURANT!" On the deck of the Going Merry, the crew reacts to the announcement. Luffy leans over the railing with a wide, excited smile, yelling, "AHHH!" Usopp looks surprised, exclaiming, "OH!" Zoro, holding his weights, looks over his shoulder and says, "HMM?" Nami, looking slightly annoyed, questions, "WHY AM I 'BROTHER'..." Page 2: The Going Merry approaches a massive, unique ship floating on the sea. The ship is shaped like a giant fish, with a large open mouth at the bow. The main building on the deck resembles a large, multi-story restaurant with a sign that reads "RESTAURANT ON THE SEAS, BARATIE". The crew looks on in awe from the Merry. Usopp yells, "THAT'S SO FUNKY!" Nami smiles and says, "WOW!" Luffy, eyes wide with excitement, shouts, "WHAT A HUGE FISH!" Johnny and Yosaku, standing on their smaller boat, proudly ask, "WHAT DO YOU THINK, EVERYONE!?" Page 3: A large Marine ship suddenly sails into view beside the Going Merry near the Baratie. Someone says, "HUH?" The Marine ship has the word "MARINE" painted in large letters on its sails and hull, along with the Marine seagull emblem. Zoro, looking at the ship, says, "IT'S... THE MARINES!" The crew watches from the deck of the Merry. Johnny points and says, "AH, SOMEONE'S COMING OUT!" Yosaku yells defensively, "HEY! WE AIN'T PIRATES OVER HERE!" Usopp, sweating nervously, asks, "THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ATTACK US NOW, ARE THEY?" Luffy, looking confused, asks, "WHEN DID IT...!?" Page 4: A Marine officer steps forward on his ship. He wears a striped suit and has brass knuckles on his right hand. A text box introduces him as "MARINE HEADQUARTERS LIEUTENANT 'IRONFIST FULLBODY'". Fullbody looks at the Going Merry's flag and says, "HMM, NEVER SEEN THAT PIRATE FLAG BEFORE... WHO'S YOUR CAPTAIN? NAME YOURSELF." He then introduces himself, "I'M THE LIEUTENANT OF THE MARINE HEADQUARTERS KNOWN AS 'IRONFIST FULLBODY'." Luffy proudly points to himself and says, "I'M LUFFY." Usopp chimes in, "AND I'M USOPP!" Johnny and Yosaku burst into laughter. Johnny laughs, "AHAHA! GOOD ONE!" Yosaku adds, "H-HE SAID... THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY! HAHA!" Luffy explains, "I JUST FINISHED MAKING MY PIRATE FLAG THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY!" Page 5: Fullbody looks down at Johnny and Yosaku from his ship. He says, "YOSAKU AND JOHNNY, I THINK YOUR NAMES WERE... IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YOU'RE... SMALL TIME BOUNTY HUNTERS. YOU FREQUENT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES ON SOME BUSINESS. WAIT A MINUTE, I THINK I'VE SEEN YOU TWO BEFORE. SO YOU'VE FINALLY BEEN CAUGHT BY PIRATES, HAVE YOU?" Johnny and Yosaku get angry at the insult. Johnny says, "HEY, YOSAKU, I THINK THIS BRO'S STICKING IT TO US." Yosaku replies, "WELL, WE CAN'T JUST LET SOME GUY WALK AROUND, CALLING US 'SMALL TIME.' THIS AIN'T GONNA NET US A SINGLE BELI, BUT I THINK WE OUGHTA TEACH THIS KID HOW TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT." They draw their swords and leap towards Fullbody's ship, yelling, "YOU COCKY LITTLE YUPPIE!!!" Page 6: Johnny and Yosaku are quickly defeated and lie groaning on the deck of the Merry, battered and bruised. Johnny mutters, "A-ALMOST HAD HIM..." Yosaku groans, "I-IT WAS A CLOSE ONE..." Zoro looks down at them and asks, "THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?" Luffy asks bluntly, "YOU SURE YOU GUYS AREN'T SUPER WEAK?" Usopp stammers, "N-NO, IT'S JUST THAT THAT GUY'S NOT TOO SHABBY HIMSELF." On the Marine ship, Fullbody stands next to a beautiful woman named Moodie. Moodie tugs his arm and says, "DARLING, ENOUGH BEATING UP ON WEAKLINGS, LET'S GET GOING ALREADY." Fullbody agrees, "AH YES, LET'S DO THAT. CONSIDER YOURSELVES LUCKY PIRATES BECAUSE I'M ON BREAK TODAY. I ONLY CAME HERE TO EAT AT THE RESTAURANT. BUT CONSIDER YOUR LIVES FORFEIT THE NEXT TIME YOU RUN INTO ME WHEN I'M NOT OFF-DUTY." Page 7: Nami kneels on the deck, picking up papers that Johnny and Yosaku dropped. She asks, "WHAT'S ALL THIS, JOHNNY?" Johnny, still lying on the floor, replies, "OH THAT? THOSE'RE JUST THE BOUNTY POSTERS, SISTER." Nami looks closely at one of the posters, her expression turning...
