The title "Chapter 228" and "Last Boss of the Saruyama Alliance, Montblanc Cricket" are displayed at the top. The illustration shows a ship shaped like a giant takoyaki stand with "TAKO 8 YAKI" written on the side. Inside the stand, the multi-armed fish-man Hachi is cheerfully cooking takoyaki with his many hands. In the water nearby, the mermaid Camie swims with a backpack, looking happily at the ship. A large fish with thick lips is also in the water next to her. A caption at the bottom reads: "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL FINAL VOLUME 'OPENING BUSINESS NOW! THE TAKOYAKI SHOP, TAKOYAKI 8!'" Page 1: Outside the house, the two large monkey-like men, Masira and Shoujou, are in a state of panic. They yell, "Oh no! The thought of that's giving me the jitters...!" and "I don't know, but you don't think something happened to our boss, do you?" One of them says, "Ah never mind. What do you think that gunshot we heard just now was about?" The other replies, "Am I still alive? What kinda question is that?" and "Ah! Masira, you're still alive!?" They both scream at the top of their lungs, their mouths wide open, "BOOOOOOSSSS! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" accompanied by a loud "BA BAAAN!!" sound effect. Page 2: Inside the house, the Straw Hats have gathered. Luffy is walking across the room carrying a basin of water. Zoro stands near the wall with his swords resting on his shoulder. Sanji is standing with his hands in his pockets, smoking a cigarette. Nami looks back over her shoulder, and Chopper stands nearby looking shocked. In the bed, the large man with a chestnut-shaped head, Montblanc Cricket, is sitting up, looking confused with question marks floating around his head. Outside the window, Masira and Shoujou continue to wail loudly, their voices carrying into the room: "AGHHHH! THEY'VE COME TO KILL US!" and "GYAAA!" Page 3: Masira and Shoujou peek through the windows, crying and yelling, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR BOSS!?" and "JUST WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE!?" Inside, Chopper panics, yelling at Luffy, "LUFFY, YOU IDIOT! YOU CAN'T REASON WITH THEM, THEY'RE WILD BEASTS! EVERYONE, EVACUATE THROUGH THE WINDOWS ASAP!" Sanji calmly tells the monkeys, "What, you guys again? We're treating the sick old man so scram." Hearing this, Masira and Shoujou burst into tears of joy, saying, "THEY'RE... THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE...!" Sanji looks annoyed by their sudden change in demeanor. An exterior view shows the house is built into a castle facade. Someone notes, "So you guys live here too?" and the reply is, "Well, the boss' house, is also the main base for the Saruyama Alliance, but..." Page 4: Outside, Masira and Shoujou laugh heartily, "Uohohoho!" and explain, "This house is too small for us, after all. We usually sleep on our own ships." Nami remarks, "Even you guys are only as big as their boogers." Sanji replies, "Nah, it's you guys who're too big. Then again, compared to the giants," Chopper wonders, "Why're they getting along so well?" and Zoro answers, "Got something in common, I guess." Inside, Cricket is fully awake. He says, "Ah, it's true. He does fly pretty easily." The crew notices, "Luffy, he's awake!" and "Yup, sure." Cricket tells Luffy, "But I'm surprised you managed to send this guy flyin' high despite your small frame." Luffy approaches him and says, "Diamond-head mister! I got stuff I wanted to ask." Page 5: Cricket sits up in bed, smoking a cigarette. He apologizes, "Sorry about the attack earlier. I mistook you for the usual idiots who come sniffin' for gold." Nami's eyes turn into sparkling stars as she excitedly asks, "GOLD!? SO YOU DO HAVE SOME!?" Sanji warns her, "Don't provoke him." Cricket asks Luffy, "So... What is it you want to ask me?" Luffy smiles widely and declares, "We wanna go to Sky Island! Teach us how!" Cricket looks surprised, repeating the words, "Sky island?" Page 6: Cricket bursts into loud laughter, "Ahahahaha! You folks seriously believe in that!?" Nami angrily grabs Cricket and shakes him, while Chopper yells at her, "NAMI, NO! HE'S A SICK PATIENT!" Luffy looks shocked and asks, "What, so there's no such thing!?" Cricket explains, "Who knows for sure... I do know of one man who said it existed... But the entire world labelled him a liar, and his entire family line's been a laughing stock ever since." Luffy asks, "Is how his story goes..." Cricket reveals the name: "'Noland the Liar.'" Luffy immediately reacts defensively, waving his arms, "IT'S NOT ME! I TOLD YOU ALREADY, IT'S NOT ME! EVEN THE NAME'S DIFFERENT!" Page 7: Nami is shocked and asks, "You're his descendant!? And this island is the very island in the story!?" Cricket confirms, "He's the grandfather of my grandfather... of my grandfather, and so on up the line... Suffice to say...
