The cover story caption reads "GEDATSU'S LIFE IN BLUE SEA VOL. 23 'HOT SPRING INSPECTORS'". The illustration features Gedatsu standing with his arms crossed, wearing his signature winged outfit. Next to him are an older man in robes and a headwrap, a large burly man, a man wearing a jacket, and a large duck equipped with a helmet, goggles, and a backpack. They are standing outdoors in a tropical setting with palm trees. Page 1: A wide view of Water 7 shows the city under a cloudy sky with the wind blowing hard ("BYUOOO"). Nami asks, "Bad?...What's bad?" She explains, "The *topography and the climate of this island." An editor's note defines topography as the lay of the land or geographical features. She continues, "This place is called the City of Water... A typhoon might pass through tonight. And the pressure is dropping. The wind is blowing hard," Down on a rooftop, Nami and Luffy are sitting together. Nami says, "So, subsequently, it's vulnerable to any natural disasters on the seas." Luffy, looking unconcerned, replies, "So what?" Nami sighs, "Um, I'll check into it later." Page 2: Still on the rooftop, Nami points towards the Galley-La Company headquarters. "Anyway, that's it... look down. Journalists are crowding around that place. It's connected to the first dock, too... Iceberg-san must be in that mansion!" Luffy stands up, and Nami asks, "You're really going!?" Luffy replies, "Yeah. I'm gonna ask him why he thinks Robin shot him." Nami warns him, "Let me remind you that we're being chased. So find Iceberg's room first, then enter when no one..." Before she can finish, Luffy stretches his arms far out ("GUI... W") and grabs onto the mansion's tower. He says, "See ya later." Nami yells in panic, "Wait...!!!" Luffy just says, "What...?" as he prepares to launch himself. Page 3: Luffy slingshots himself directly through a large glass window of the Galley-La mansion, shattering it into countless pieces ("!!?"). Inside, two Galley-La workers, one wearing a shirt with "26" on it, scream in shock as the glass explodes inward. Luffy lands with a fierce, determined expression. The workers yell, "AH!!!" and "WHO..." Panic ensues inside the building. Workers shout, "WHAT!!?" "A WINDOW BROKE!!!" "WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!!!" Outside, the citizens and journalists gathered around the headquarters hear the commotion and look up, wondering, "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!!!" Page 4: Outside the Galley-La headquarters, the crowd erupts into a panic ("WAAAAAA"). Someone shouts, "'STRAW HAT LUFFY' HAS INVADED HEADQUARTERS!!!" Inside, the Galley-La workers are scrambling. "WHAT!!?" "IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!?" "SO SUDDEN!!!" "WHERE IS HE!!?" "FROM THE SECOND FLOOR STAIRS TO THE THIRD FLOOR!!!" "HE'S PROBABLY GOING AFTER THE BEDROOM. STALL HIM!!!" Another worker yells, "HE'S WEARING A RED VEST AND A STRAW HAT!!!" "PROTECT ICEBERG-SAN!!" Kalifa is shown standing quietly from behind, listening to the chaos (".........."). A worker runs past, yelling, "IT'S THE STRAW HAT!!!" Page 5: The Galley-La workers continue their frantic search, running through the halls with weapons. "ARE YOU SERIOUS!!?" "WHERE ARE THE HEADS!!?" "THEY'RE ORDERING THE WORKERS AROUND THE ISLAND!" "HE'S GOING AFTER THE HQ AGAIN SO FAST!!!" Luffy is seen running down a hallway, panting heavily ("HAA HAA HAA HAA"). He thinks to himself, "WHERE IS IT?" Workers spot him and yell, "THERE!!!" "WHOA!!!" Meanwhile, inside a quiet bedroom, Iceburg is lying in bed, heavily bandaged. He asks, "Nmaa... what is it? It's so noisy outside." Kalifa stands by the open door and informs him, "I am terribly sorry... Apparently, the Straw Hat has invaded the HQ..." Iceburg remains silent (".........."). Kalifa then says, "Kalifa, I have a favour to ask......" Page 6: The chase continues inside the mansion. A worker fires a gun at Luffy ("BAM!!"), but another worker scolds him, "IDIOT!! DON'T USE A GUN!! WE'RE INSIDE!!!" "BUT THEY'RE..." "IT'LL AFFECT ICEBERG-SAN'S BODY!!!" "WHERE DID HE GO!?" Luffy jumps up to a higher level, and the workers follow. "HE WENT TO THE SECOND WING!! GO UP!!!" "WOW!! SO MANY OF THEM!!" Luffy looks surprised ("!?") as a worker spots him and yells, "STRAW HAT!!" Luffy says, "HUH?" and the worker says, "YOU'RE..." Back near Iceburg's room, Kalifa steps out into the hallway. A worker asks her, "HEY KALIFA-SAN, DID A PIRATE PASS BY?" Kalifa replies, "NO. BUT PLEASE, CHASE HIM QUIETLY!! ICEBERG-SAN IS STILL SLEEPING." The worker agrees, "OK... THEN WE'LL GUARD HERE. HE'LL DEFINITELY COME FOR THIS ROOM." Kalifa stands silently by the door (".....
