The woman smoothly sheathes her sword with a "click". However, she immediately drops to her hands and knees, patting the ground blindly. "AH, AH, AH..." she mutters, having lost her glasses during the attack. The surrounding crowd watches in awe and amusement. "W...WHAT...?" "AHAHAHAHA!" "AIN'T YOU A STRONG ONE, MISSY!" they comment. Zoro walks over, picks up her glasses, and holds them out to her. "LOOKING FOR THESE? HEY," he says. She looks up, squinting, and says "AH." She puts her glasses back on, her face flushing with embarrassment. "S... SORRY FOR TROUBLING YOU. TH... THANK YOU VERY MUCH," she stammers. Zoro looks at her, slightly taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor. Page 14: The scene shifts to a tropical island. A narration box reads: "ON A CERTAIN ISLAND". A pirate screams "AGHHH!" as Dracule Mihawk (Hawkeyes) walks through their camp. Another pirate yells, "HAWKEYES! JUST WHAT'VE YOU COME HERE FOR!?" Mihawk, carrying his massive black sword on his back, walks calmly forward. "NO NEED TO GET ANTSY, I'VE NO BUSINESS WITH THE REST OF YOU. WHERE'RE YOUR OFFICERS?" he asks. Mihawk adds, "TO BE HANGING AROUND ON AN ISLAND SUCH AS THIS... YOUR CAPTAIN IS QUITE THE EASYGOING MAN..." A pirate runs away in a panic, shouting, "CAPT-AAAA-IIINNN!" Page 15: Mihawk approaches a shaded area where Shanks is sitting with his crew. Shanks, holding a drink, looks up and says, "HMM? AH, HAWKEYES. QUITE A RARE GUEST I'VE GOT TODAY." Shanks' expression turns serious as he asks, "I'M NOT IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD RIGHT NOW BUT... HAVE YOU COME FOR A FIGHT?" Mihawk replies, "HMPH... AS IF I'D WANT TO SETTLE THINGS WITH A MAN WITH ONLY ONE ARM." Mihawk holds up Luffy's new wanted poster and continues, "I CAME ACROSS SOME INTERESTING PIRATES, AND I WAS REMINDED OF THAT STORY YOU TOLD ME LONG AGO. THAT STORY ABOUT AN INTERESTING LITTLE KID IN A CERTAIN VILLAGE..." Shanks looks completely shocked, his eyes widening as he exclaims, "WHA!? YOU MEAN...!"
