The cover story illustration shows Hachi walking on the ocean floor, happily greeting three other fishmen. The caption reads "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 15 'REUNION WITH FELLOW FISHMEN'". Page 1: A large bird flies high in the sky, dropping a figure. Luffy, carrying a large barrel of water strapped to his back, plummets toward the ground and lands with a heavy impact, kicking up dust. He looks up with a fierce, determined expression and says, "WHEW! MADE IT JUST IN TIME!" Page 2: Vivi looks up at the sky, tears streaming down her face as she watches the large bird fly away over the palace. She cries out, "Uuu... Pell...! Luffy...!" Overwhelmed with despair, she sobs, "I can't save my c... And my voice won't reach anybody!" A close-up shows her face stained with tears as a voice announces, "The palace square will be blown up any moment now! Chaka and the others have already been done in..." Suddenly, a small speech bubble appears next to her, saying, "Don't worry." Page 3: Luffy's face suddenly appears right next to Vivi's, sporting a massive, confident grin. He tells her, "YOUR VOICE, REACHED US JUST FINE!" Vivi looks completely shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief. A wide shot shows the two of them standing on a high balcony overlooking the city, where a massive dust storm or explosion is raging in the distance. The sound of the chaotic battlefield, "WAAAAAA," fills the air. Page 4: Chaka, heavily injured and bleeding, looks up and warns, "Be careful, Luffy!" In the chaotic plaza below, a rebel soldier falls to his knees, groaning, "A-and, ohh I've lost so much blood I'm feeling dizzy..." Another voice angrily yells, "LIAR!" Nearby, small silhouettes of Zoro and Sanji are seen fighting as their voices bicker over the battlefield. "For a man, you sure do complain a lot! Look, I've injured my leg! I can't stand up!" "WHAT, ARE YOU ACTUALLY TRYING TO SAY YOU'RE MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED THAN ME RIGHT NOW!?" Vivi, still crying but looking relieved, says, "I won't..." Luffy pats his stomach, grinning widely. "And I'm full of surging blood! I ate a ton of meat!" Crocodile stands tall, his hook glinting, looking down menacingly. Luffy glares back at him, declaring, "LOSE ANYMORE!" Page 5: Crocodile, smoking his cigar, scowls in disbelief. "HOW THE HELL DID HE ESCAPE FROM THE QUICKSAND WITH THOSE WOUNDS...!?" Vivi looks back in surprise as Chopper runs toward them, tears streaming down his face. "Tony!" she exclaims. Chopper wails, "LUFFY'S ALIVE! AGHHHHH!" Luffy stands firm, facing Crocodile. Crocodile grits his teeth, "NGHHH!" Chopper reaches Vivi, crying, "Vivi's here too!" A silhouette of Crocodile looms over them as he demands, "LUFFY, IS THAT YOU!?" Page 6: Zoro, heavily bandaged and yelling, points triumphantly. "SEE! SEE! WHAT'D I TELL YA! I KNEW ALL ALONG!" Chopper looks up at him in awe, "You did!?" Sanji, standing nearby with a cigarette, mutters, "Is that really the face of a person who knew 'all along?'" Sanji then immediately switches to his swooning noodle dance, crying out, "Vivi, my love! I can't believe how horribly injured you are!" Nami, looking exhausted and battered, smiles in relief. "Usopp! Sanji!" Vivi looks at her friends, tears in her eyes. "Mr. Bushido... Nami... You're all safe...!" Nami, holding her Clima-Tact, suddenly looks annoyed and yells, "GAH! USOPP!" Page 7: Nami angrily points her Clima-Tact off-screen, yelling, "YOU'RE STANDING JUST FINE RIGHT NOW! Who the hell asked you to create a toy for parties!?" Zoro stands behind her, panting and looking exasperated. "Namiii!" Sanji glares angrily, "I'LL KICK YOUR ASS FOR LETTING NAMI GET INJURED!" A small bubble notes, "She's looking just fine right now though..." Chopper runs around in a panic, asking, "Vivi! What's the situation!? And what is up with this freaky dust storm!?" Usopp lies on the ground, heavily battered, groaning, "B... BURY MY BODY IN THE WILDERNESS... UGHH... CHOPPER... I HAVE A FINAL REQUEST..." Chopper screams in terror, "AHHHH! YOU'VE ALREADY KILLED HIM!" Nami glares down at Usopp, threatening, "I'll kill you later." Usopp weakly defends himself, "B-BUT... I STILL INCLUDED THAT ONE ULTIMATE ATTACK...!" Page 8: Luffy looks up at his crew, his expression serious. "Sorry, guys. I lost to him once." A wide shot shows the Straw Hats and Vivi looking up at him from the plaza. Luffy continues, "But I won't lose again! So take care of the rest in the meanwhile!" Close-up panels show the determined faces of Vivi, Chopper, Nami, Sanji, and Zoro. They shout together, "IF YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM, THEN WHO CAN!?" Zoro adds with a smirk, "Hurry up and beat his ass already..." A close-up of Luffy's face shows hi...
