The cover illustration shows Buggy the Clown running away in sheer terror from a giant bird. The bird has a stitched scar on its face and is angrily brandishing a knife and fork. At the bird's feet, three small chicks are chirping. The bottom text reads "THE ADVENTURES OF BUGGY'S PIRATE FLEET VOL 4" and "BUGGY AND THE GIANT BIRD". Page 1: Luffy stands up, his fists clenched and a furious expression on his face. A loud "DO-N!!" sound effect emphasizes his anger. He lets out a loud, continuous yell, "AAAA....". Down the slope, the Black Cat Pirates are sent flying and screaming "GYAAAAAAA..." in panic. Nami watches the scene unfold with a shocked and concerned look on her face. In the background, the pirate ship is visible as the screams of the crew echo. Page 2: Luffy stands at the bottom of the slope, surrounded by the defeated Black Cat Pirates. He yells up towards the cliff path, "COME OUT, YOU EVIL BUTLER!!!". He stands ready, his face set in determination. Suddenly, he notices something and looks up as a "SWOSH!" sound effect indicates rapid movement nearby, but Kuro himself is not yet shown on the page. Page 3: As soon as Kuro lands, he delivers a brutal, high-speed kick directly to Luffy's face and chest. Luffy is thrown backward by the impact, letting out an "UUH!!!". Kuro's foot touches back down on the ground as Luffy falls backward, crashing heavily onto the rocky surface with an "AHHHH!". Page 4: Kuro immediately follows up his attack, slashing downward with his deadly clawed gloves. A "SWISH!!" sound effect accompanies the strike, but Luffy manages to roll out of the way just in time. As Kuro's claws hit the ground, Luffy smiles confidently and says, "GOTCHA!". He quickly reaches out and grabs Kuro tightly by the arm and cloak, securing his hold on the swift assassin. Page 5: Kuro looks down at Luffy, who is still gripping his arm. Kuro uses his palm to adjust his glasses, his claws dangerously close to his face. "YOU BASTARD... YOU SHOULD'VE JUST QUIETLY LET ME CHOP YOU TO PIECES..!!" he says. A wide shot shows Kuro standing over Luffy on the rocky slope. Kuro gestures to his crew, "LOOK! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, MY BELOVED CREW, IS HALF DEAD AND IN GREAT PAIN!". Blood drips from Kuro's claws with a "POTA POTA..." sound. Luffy looks up at him calmly and replies, "YUP. YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?". In the background, the Black Cat Pirates are trembling on the ground, crying out, "IT HURTS!!!", "STOP IT!", and "DAMN IT...". Page 6: Luffy cracks his knuckles, a confident smile spreading across his face. "I SWEAR! I WILL NEVER... EVER BE A PIRATE LIKE YOU!" he declares. Kuro stands tall, his long claws fully extended by his sides. "BECAUSE... YOU WILL DIE HERE..." Kuro threatens. He adjusts his glasses again, adding, "OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T EVEN BE A PIRATE... OH, YOU WON'T...". Unfazed, Luffy charges directly at Kuro, challenging him, "TRY AND USE YOUR 'SILENT STEP' NOW". Kuro prepares his stance, replying, "LET'S SEE YOU TRY!". Page 7: In the forest, Kaya is on her knees, crying and screaming desperately. "PLEASE STOP IT!! I'LL WRITE THE WILL!! JUST STOP HURTING THE BOYS!!". Jango stands over the Usopp Pirates, his foot pressing down on one of them. One of the boys warns Kaya, "NO!! AFTER YOU WRITE THE WILL, HE'LL KILL YOU!!" Jango looks down at the kids and snaps, "IDIOT! DON'T TRY TO NEGOTIATE WITH ME!" while mentioning Captain Kuro's orders. One of the kids, Tamanegi, is crying and trembling, saying, "I HAVE TO...". Page 8: Jango violently kicks Piiman away, sending him flying with an "UWAAH!!!". Kaya screams "PIIMAN-KUN!!" as the boy crashes into the ground. Driven to desperation, Kaya holds a knife to her own throat. "SINCE YOU WON'T LISTEN... I WILL KILL MYSELF! AND YOU WON'T GET THE WILL!!" she threatens. Jango immediately panics, waving his hands frantically. "WAH!! WAIT!! DON'T MAKE A STUPID DECISION!! I JUST WANT THE WILL, IF I DON'T GET IT, I'LL BE IN A BIG TROUBLE! OKAY, I'LL LET THE KIDS GO! NOT LIKE THEY CAN ESCAPE ANYWAY!". Page 9: Kaya sits on a log, using a piece of wood as a desk to write the will. Jango stands behind her, instructing, "DON'T FORGET TO MARK IT WITH YOUR THUMBPRINT". Nearby, the Usopp Pirates are lying on the ground, whispering to each other. "IF WE PRETEND TO STAY UNCONSCIOUS, WILL WE LIVE?...?" one asks. "I THINK SO... KAYA-SAN HAVE SAVED US..." another replies. "DIDN'T THE CAPTAIN ALWAYS SAY THAT IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA LOSE, THEN YOU MUST FLEE?". Ninjin, sweating but determined, speaks up. "BUT CAPTAIN IS A LIAR!!! NOW, HE'S BRAVELY FIGHTING ALONE!!! HE WAS ALL COVERED IN BLOOD... AND STILL WANTED TO PROTECT US". The boys agree, "WE CAN'T LET KAYA-SAN DIE......
