Below, an illustration features three prominent characters and a large black whale. On the left, Buggy the Clown is depicted with a wide, menacing grin, his signature red nose, and his pirate hat. In the center, Monkey D. Luffy sits cheerfully on top of the large black whale, wearing his straw hat and a red vest. To the right, Smoker is shown with a stern expression, smoking two cigars simultaneously, wearing his thick fur-lined jacket. The whale beneath them is round and black, with a prominent white eye and a pattern of crisscrossing scars covering its head. The background is filled with dynamic lines and bubbles, suggesting a watery or energetic environment. Page 1: This page is a full-color version of the previous title page. The chapter title "WHALE" is not visible here, but the illustration is identical in composition. Buggy the Clown is on the left, his face painted with blue and red markings, wearing an orange and yellow hat. Monkey D. Luffy sits in the center on the black whale, wearing his red vest, blue shorts, and straw hat, smiling broadly. Smoker is on the right, with his white hair, smoking two brown cigars, wearing a dark green jacket with thick fur trim. The whale, Laboon, is black with a network of light brown, crisscrossing scars over its rounded head. The background features a pinkish hue with white action lines and bubbles, giving a vibrant, dynamic feel to the scene. Page 2: Inside the stomach of the giant whale, Sanji and Usopp stand on a wooden platform, looking out at a bizarre sight. Sanji, smoking a cigarette, points ahead and says, "A FLOWER!?" Usopp, standing next to him, corrects him, "WAIT, NO! IT'S A PERSON!" In the distance, a small island with a house and palm trees is visible. Suddenly, with a loud "DOOM!!" sound effect, a large figure emerges from the water onto the island. It's an older man with a distinctive appearance: he wears glasses, has a thick beard, and sports a unique headpiece that looks like flower petals. He is shirtless, wearing a dark vest, a striped loincloth, and sandals. He is effortlessly dragging a massive giant squid out of the water with a thick rope. Sanji and Usopp watch in shock. Usopp wonders, "WHAT'S WITH HIM......WAS HE JUST FISHING OR DID HE DO THAT TO SAVE US?" Sanji notes, "THAT OLD MAN TOOK OUT THAT GIANT SQUID WITH ONE BLOW!" Zoro is also seen in a small panel, gulping nervously as they observe the imposing old man. Page 3: Sanji, losing his patience, yells across the water at the old man, "SAY SOMETHING!" The old man sits calmly in a lawn chair on his small island, reading a newspaper. Usopp, panicking, aims a cannon from their ship and stammers, "I-I-IF IT'S A FIGHT YOU WANT, T-THEN YOU'VE GOT ONE! WE HAVE A CANNON ON OUR SIDE!" The old man slowly lowers his newspaper and glares intensely at them. A menacing aura surrounds him as he speaks with a deep, rumbling voice, "DON'T, OR SOMEONE MIGHT END UP DEAD..." Sanji, unfazed, challenges him, "OH? AND JUST WHO WOULD THAT BE...?" The old man stares back with a serious expression and simply replies, "ME." Sanji's face contorts in extreme anger and confusion as he screams, "YOU!?" at the unexpected and absurd response. Page 4: Sanji is furious, his face comically distorted with rage as he yells, "THAT GRAMPS THINKS HE CAN MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME...!?" Zoro, standing calmly beside him, says, "NOW, NOW, DON'T GET SO WORKED UP." Sanji demands, "HEY OLD MAN. WOULD YOU MIND TELLING US JUST WHO YOU ARE, AND JUST WHERE THIS PLACE EXACTLY IS? IT'S COMMON COURTESY TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF BEFORE ASKING OTHERS QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW?" The old man replies calmly, "MY NAME IS CROCUS, THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER OF TWIN CAPES. I'M 71 YEARS OLD, A GEMINI, AND TYPE AB BLOOD." Sanji, momentarily disarmed, says, "SORRY ABOUT THAT." Zoro adds, "OH RIGHT..." Then Sanji realizes what just happened and explodes in anger again, screaming, "NOBODY MINDS IF I KILL HIM, RIGHT!?" while Zoro tries to calm him down. Crocus then addresses their question, "YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE THIS PLACE IS? YOU FIRST TRESPASS IN MY PRIVATE RESORT AND THEN START MOUTHING OFF WITH THAT ATTITUDE!? DOES THIS PLACE LOOK LIKE THE STOMACH OF A MOUSE!?" Page 5: Usopp, shocked by Crocus's revelation, stammers, "S... SO THEN WE REALLY MUST'VE BEEN SWALLOWED BY A WHALE. I DON'T WANNA BE DIGESTED! WHAT DO WE DO...!?" Crocus calmly points towards the horizon and says, "IF IT'S AN EXIT YOU WANT, IT'S RIGHT OVER THERE." Sanji and Usopp look in the direction he's pointing and exclaim, "YOU CAN GET OUT OF HERE!? WHY IS THERE AN EXIT INSIDE A WHALE'S STOMACH?" They look closer and notice something strange. Usopp says, "AND HOW IS IT THAT A DOOR'S FLOA...
