Luffy laughing enthusiastically as he high-fives a giant penguin-like creature wearing a pirate captain's hat adorned with a skull and crossbones.

Page 1: In the middle of a damaged town street, Roronoa Zoro stands off against the acrobat swordsman Cabaji. Blood drips steadily from a severe wound on Zoro's side, hitting the ground with "DRIP PLIP" sounds. Large "DA" and "DOP" sound effects emphasize the tense atmosphere.
