Below is a cover story illustration titled "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 14 'THE MACRO FISHMEN PIRATES'". It depicts three fishmen standing together on the ocean floor. The central figure, Macro, has a large jaw and dark hair, wearing an open vest and a light-colored lower garment with a dark sash. To his left is a large, round fishman with a wide mouth, wearing a necklace. To his right is a tall, wide-eyed fishman holding a sword. Fish swim in the background around rocky formations. Page 1: Inside the palace, Crocodile looks down with a cigar clamped in his teeth, asking in a mocking tone, "Did you come by the secret path you used to use as a child...!?" Vivi, covered in sweat and dirt from her struggles, looks shocked and screams out, "KOUZA!". In a large central panel, Kouza stands in the doorway, panting heavily. He is battered, covered in dirt and blood, holding his sword loosely by his side. A heavy "DON!!" sound effect emphasizes his sudden arrival. In the bottom left panel, Crocodile looks slightly surprised by the intrusion, muttering to himself, "Am I... Seeing things...?". The tension in the room spikes as the rebel leader finally confronts the true mastermind behind the country's suffering. Page 2: Outside the grand palace entrance, Kouza stands looking up at the towering building. He says to himself, "With the intention of persuading the Royalist Forces, but... I came here...". Inside the palace walls, Kouza looks down in absolute shock at the defeated bodies of the royal guards scattered across the floor. Among them is Chaka, defeated and lying motionless on his stomach in his human-jackal hybrid form. Vivi looks distressed and worried, her face covered in sweat. Crocodile stares down at Kouza with a cold, calculating expression. Kouza, still panting heavily from his journey and the shock of the scene, mutters, "Chaka...!" as he takes in the devastating reality of the fallen guards.
