The illustration features Roronoa Zoro underwater, wearing a diving helmet and a breathing apparatus strapped to his back. He is holding one of his swords drawn, ready to face a massive, sharp-toothed sea monster that looms right in front of him with its jaws wide open. Bubbles rise from his gear as he prepares for the underwater battle. Page 1: The scene opens with a wide shot of a massive stone structure built into the water, marked with the numbers 5, 6, and 7. Waves crash violently against the docks under a dark, stormy sky filled with heavy clouds. The sound of the wind and waves is deafening. Below, a closer view shows a dilapidated, dirty warehouse with broken windows and a rusty exterior. A voice comments, "I SEE..." and another adds, "THIS DIRTY WAREHOUSE..." as the wind continues to howl. Page 2: Inside the warehouse, which was once the main office of the shipbuilding company "Tom's Workers," the Going Merry is docked. A voice narrates, "WAS ONCE THE MAIN OFFICE OF THE SHIP BUILDING COMPANY... TOM'S WORKERS." In the center of the room, a large hole has been blasted through the wall, revealing several silhouetted figures standing in the opening. Usopp, heavily bandaged and wearing his goggles, looks on in shock and confusion, sweating as he mutters, ".....!?" and "COMPANY...!?". The silhouetted figures are identified in narration as they stand menacingly: "TOM.", "ICEBURG.", and "CUTTY FLAM." Franky (Cutty Flam) stands defiantly in the center of the ruined doorway, facing the intruders. Page 3: Rob Lucci, wearing his black top hat with his pet pigeon Hattori perched on his shoulder, holds up a framed photograph of Tom's Workers. He remarks mockingly, "SO, THIS ROOM OF FOND MEMORIES FOR THE THREE WHO TOILED DILIGENTLY HERE... IS YOUR ALLEGED 'SECRET BASE'." In the inset panel, the photo shows Tom, young Iceburg, and young Franky smiling together. Lucci adds, "HOW CUTE." Franky, bleeding from his forehead, glares back with intense rage, shouting, "SHUT UP!..... GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!" Lucci calmly replies, "ONCE WE HAVE WHAT WE CAME HERE FOR. 'SHIPWRIGHT' CUTTY FLAM..." as Kalifa's fishnet-clad legs stand in the foreground. Franky yells back, "THE BLUEPRINT AIN'T HERE!!!" Page 4: Lucci responds coolly, "..... ALRIGHT... I'D EXPECTED THAT SORT OF ANSWER...!!! KALIFA." Kalifa replies, "YES." Usopp watches in sheer terror, sweating profusely. Suddenly, Lucci kicks a desk, smashing it to pieces with a loud crash. Franky shouts, "HEY!!!" but before he can react, Kalifa moves with blinding speed. With a sharp "SNAP!!!", she wraps a thorny whip or rope tightly around Franky, binding his arms to his sides as he screams in pain, "WAAOOO!!!" Page 5: Kalifa stands calmly, holding the thorny whip that has bound Franky, who is thrown to the ground, groaning in pain, "OWWWWWW!!!" and "..... GUH...!!" Usopp panics completely, screaming, "OMI-GOSH...!!! EEEEEE!! WH...WH... WHAT'M I SUPPOSED TO DO...!!?" Franky, struggling against the thorns, glares at Lucci and Kaku standing in the background, growling, "DAMN YOU!!!" Lucci, looking down at him with a cold, piercing glare, says, "IT'S NOT LIKE YOU NEED TO TELL US RIGHT AWAY. WE HAVE A TRUMP CARD." Page 6: Lucci stands over the bound Franky, stating, "IT WAS 12 YEARS AGO, BUT... CUTTY FLAM... YOU COMMITTED A CRIME." Franky, his face bruised and bleeding, reacts with furious anger, shouting, "DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP!!! TOM-SAN WASN'T A CRIMINAL!!!!" Lucci replies coldly, "JUST LIKE TOM." This pushes Franky over the edge as he screams, "HOW DARE YOU..... TALK LIKE YOU KNOW ANYTHING!!!! TOM-SAN!!!" Page 7: Lucci brutally kicks the bound Franky, sending him crashing across the floor. Lucci says coldly, "CRIMINALS SHOULD WELL KNOW... THE PATH THEY FOLLOW." Usopp watches helplessly from the side, sweating and trembling. In Franky's mind, memories of the past begin to flood back. He remembers the silhouette of Tom and the words: "NEVER SPEAK A WORD OF WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN, FRANKY!!" and "HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK...!!! YOU ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT WATER SEVEN!!!?" The scene transitions into a flashback of Water Seven's past. Page 8: A caption reads: "WATER CITY WATER SEVEN (22 YEARS AGO)". The grand city of Water Seven is shown under a clear sky, with seagulls flying around. A loud explosion or crash echoes: "OOO WAAA AAAA AAAA!". The next panel shows waves splashing violently as something crashes into the water. In the final panel, a young, 12-year-old Cutty Flam (Franky), wearing goggles on his head and sweating, screams in terror with his mouth wide open: "WAA AAA ~~~!!!" Page 9: Young Franky is aboard one of his custom-built battle ships, labeled "BATTLE FRANKY 8". He is firing cannons at a giant, bizarre-looking sea...
