Smoker orders the intercepted call played back one more time and tells Tashigi to come listen too. A Marine answers, "Yes, sir!" In the next panel, Tashigi is completely distracted, holding up a katana and admiring its blade with sparkling eyes. She says, "What an exquisite hitatsura! To think I could come across a masterwork blade so soon... The Grand Line sure lives up to its reputation...! Kashuu, one of the skillful-grade swords!" Smoker, annoyed, yells at her, "Tashigi! Are you even listening, you sword-obsessed freak!?" Startled, Tashigi fumbles with the sword and stammers, "Y-yes, Captain!? Did you need a cup of coffee or something?" Page 1: A black-and-white version of the chapter color spread fills the page. The title "ONE PIECE" and the subtitle "Stand up - if ya wanna fight" are visible. The Straw Hat Pirates are riding across the sky with dinosaurs and pterodactyls: Nami and Vivi sit on the saddle near the dinosaur's head, Sanji slides down the snout with a cigarette in his mouth, Luffy dangles from a pterodactyl's reins, Usopp rides near the creature's head, and Zoro rides another pterodactyl in the distance. Page 2: A full-color version of the same spread shows the Straw Hat Pirates riding across the sky with dinosaurs and pterodactyls. The title "ONE PIECE" and the subtitle "Stand up - if ya wanna fight" are visible at the top. Nami and Vivi ride near the dinosaur's head, Sanji slides down the snout, Luffy swings from a pterodactyl's reins, Usopp rides near the creature's head, and Zoro rides another pterodactyl in the background. Page 3: A small, standalone panel shows Sanji and Usopp standing side-by-side. They are both looking up and whistling, attempting to look completely innocent and nonchalant. Page 4: Back on Smoker's ship, a Marine reports to Smoker and Tashigi, "It's from a call that we intercepted just now. Shall I play it back now, Sgt. Major?" Tashigi, adjusting her glasses, replies, "Y-yes, please go ahead." Smoker, smoking his cigars, instructs her, "Listen carefully to this conversation between two men." A black Den Den Mushi, labeled "BLACK DENDEN-MUSHI (USED TO INTERCEPT CALLS)", is shown playing back the recording. The voice on the recording says, "Crrk... Yes, I've carried out my miss-...crrk......Princess Vivi and... Straw-Hat Pi-...or not? Tsst... and 'orders.' 'Mr. 0,' 'Straw-Hat,' 'Princess Vivi,'". Smoker listens intently. Tashigi reacts with surprise, "Straw-Hat!? As in the Straw-Hat Pirates!?" Smoker explains, "Yes... the source was too far away for us to intercept the call clearly but we can still note 4 keywords from this conversation." Page 5: Tashigi points out, "Could it be that the Mr. 0 from the intercepted call, has something to do with this suspicious swordsman called Mr. 11 who we apprehended yesterday at Runesu!?" Smoker agrees, "Hm, good point. If these numbers are their codenames, and there's talk about carrying out orders... then we might be dealing with a secret criminal organization." The scene shifts to show a man tied to the ship's mast. A caption identifies him as "BAROQUE WORKS FRONTIER AGENT MR. 11". Sweating nervously, Mr. 11 denies everything, "Mr. 0? Criminal organization? I haven't got the faintest idea what you're talking about. Seems like you're making too much out of your guesswork." Smoker challenges him, "Then how do you explain this letter I found in your pocket with orders written on it!?" Mr. 11 panics, his eyes bulging, "Wha!? I... I'm sure I burned that letter up...! Ah- that letter is actually..." Smoker smirks and reveals the trick, "We never found any letter in your pockets." Realizing he's been fooled into confessing, Mr. 11 cries out in despair, tears streaming down his face. Smoker repeats, "That letter..?" Page 6: Smoker continues his deduction, "'Princess Vivi.' If I recall correctly, that's the name of the Alabastan princess who's currently missing. Speaking of Alabasta, I hear that kingdom is in the midst of a coup d'etat." He looks back at Tashigi, "...You don't think the Straw-Hat Pirates and this mysterious criminal organization has something to do with all that, do you...?" Tashigi replies, "I don't know, but this is the only lead that we've got on the Straw-Hat Pirates right now." Smoker says, "So then..." and Tashigi confirms, "That's right." Smoker orders his men, "Request HQ for an Eternal Pose." A Marine salutes, "Yessir!" Smoker looks out over the ocean towards the horizon, saying, "Why don't we go see, exactly what the desert kingdom of Alabasta has in store for us..." Page 7: The scene shifts back to Little Garden. A caption reads "ISLAND OF GIANTS, 'LITTLE GARDEN'". The two giants, Dorry and Brogy, are...
