Luffy stands on a tiled rooftop at night, wearing a dark cloak over his usual clothes and his signature straw hat. A large, grinning bat flies in the foreground in front of him with its wings spread wide. Several other bats fly in the sky behind him, illuminated by a large full moon. A silhouette of a building with a tower is visible in the background. Page 1: A pirate shouts, "AHOY! FIRST MATE MOHJI'S BACK!" Mohji, looking heavily beaten, bruised, and exhausted, crawls on the ground, panting "WUF WUF". He struggles to speak, saying, "S-SORRY... CAPTAIN... I'VE GOT TO TELL HIM THAT THE KID IS A RUBBER MAN..." and "...THE KID... CAP'N... BUGGY..." Buggy looks shocked, exclaiming, "THE KID!? THE KID IN THE STRAW HAT BEAT YOU!? NOT ZOLO!?" Mohji continues to crawl forward, panting "WUP WUP", and says, "THE KID......UNDER... ESTIMATED HIM. G-GOT TO TELL HIM... CAP'N... SIR... BEWARE... THE RUB-" Mohji then collapses face-first onto the ground with a "FWUMP", muttering "...MAN...". Next to him, his giant pet lion Richie is also collapsed on the ground, panting "WORB WORB" and muttering "...RUB...!!". Page 2: Buggy's crew members discuss Mohji's cryptic warning. One asks, "WHAT'D HE SAY?" Another notes, "MOHJI WAS TRYING TO TELL US SOME-THING." A third adds, "HE COULD BARELY STAND! MUST HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT..." Another repeats, ""BEWARE THE RUB!?"" and the last wonders, "WHAT KIND OF RUB COULD DO THAT TO A MAN!?" Buggy ponders the situation, saying, "HMM... THAT BOY MUST HAVE USED SOME DIABOLICAL RUBBING TECHNIQUE ON HIM...!" A crew member nearby exclaims, "AR! THE SKIP-PER'S GOT IT!" Buggy suddenly becomes enraged, his face filling the panel as he yells, "DARN YOU, MOHJI! BEATEN BY A MASSEUR?! IF THIS GETS OUT, OUR REPU-TATION'S SCUTTLED!" Buggy then orders his crew, "LOAD THE BUGGY BALLS, YOU SWABS!! WE'VE A TOWN TO DESTROY!!" The crew responds enthusiastically, "AYE AYE, CAP'N BUGGY!" In the background, Mohji remains passed out on the ground, weakly muttering, "RUBBER MAN...". Page 3: A narration box reads, "THE REFUGE OF THE TOWNS-PEOPLE". In a grassy area with tents and a wooden fence, the small dog Chouchou walks towards the gathered townspeople with "TMP TMP TMP" sound effects. Someone notices and says, "WHAT'S THAT!?" Another person recognizes him, shouting, "HEY! IT'S CHOUCHOU FROM THE PET FOOD SHOP!" A man with glasses kneels down to greet Chouchou, who is carrying a box of dog food in his mouth. The man says, "WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE OKAY, BOY! WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU." Another man says, "IT'S CHOUCHOU!" A third man observes, "HE'S HURT BAD. CURSED PIRATES! LET'S TAKE CARE OF HIS WOUNDS." The townspeople gather around, murmuring "MURMUR MURMUR". An older man asks, "BUT WHERE'S THE MAYOR?" The man with glasses wonders, "WHAT'S CHOUCHOU DOING HERE WITHOUT HIM?" Another man adds, "THAT'S RIGHT...! MAYOR BOODLE WENT TO FEED CHOUCHOU." Page 4: In the refuge camp, the townspeople are gathered together, looking worried as a "MURMUR MURMUR" sound effect fills the air. One person asks, "YOU DON'T THINK SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE MAYOR?" Another replies, "THIS ISN'T GOOD..." A third volunteers, "I'LL GO FIND HIM!" A man with a mustache and a plaid shirt interjects, "NOW DON'T GO OFF HALF-COCKED! THE MAYOR'S TOO CLEVER TO LET HIMSELF GET CAPTURED." Another townsperson adds, "HE KNOWS THIS TOWN BETTER THAN ANYONE." The man with the mustache continues, "BUT HE ALSO CARES ABOUT THE TOWN MORE THAN ANYONE. MAYBE TOO MUCH." A flashback shows Boodle carrying a small sack. A townsperson tells him, "DON'T TAKE ANY UNNECESSARY RISKS NOW, MAYOR." Boodle replies, "WHAT MATTERS IS THAT WE'RE ALL SAFE. AS LONG AS WE ALL SURVIVE, WE CAN REBUILD THIS TOWN." He adds, "I KNOW, I KNOW. I'M JUST GOING TO FEED CHOUCHOU!" Back in the present, the man with the mustache says, "I WARNED HIM NOT TO TAKE ANY RISKS. I JUST HOPE HE HEARD ME." Meanwhile, in the empty streets of Orange Town, Nami and Luffy are walking together. A "STP" sound effect accompanies their footsteps. Nami looks back over her shoulder as a question mark bubble appears from behind a nearby building. Page 5: Nami turns to Luffy with a friendly smile, holding up a hand apologetically. "SORRY I YELLED AT YOU!" she says. Luffy looks at her blankly and simply replies, "HUH?" As they continue walking down the street, Nami says, "THAT'S OKAY. I KNOW YOU LOST SOMEONE TO PIRATES." She looks ahead with a slightly smug but sympathetic expression, adding, "I UNDERSTAND..." and "NOT THAT I WANT TO HEAR THE DETAILS OR ANYTHING..." Luffy walks beside her, looking at her. In the background behind them, Boodle is standing completely still, staring at the ground. Suddenly, Boodle throws his arms up in the air and screams at the...
