The cover story, "Hachi's Ocean Floor Stroll Vol. 21 'Their Whereabouts'", shows the octopus fish-man Hachi underwater, looking surprised as he talks to a starfish. A thought bubble above the starfish shows the fish-man Macro and another fish-man. Hachi is wearing his striped shirt. Page 8: In the chaotic Alabasta square, the crowd roars. A man wearing a hat with 'BW' on it yells, 'Baroque Works!? Never heard of 'em! You even got any proof that they exist!?' Another man nearby claims, 'We're just ordinary Alabastan citizens!' Suddenly, Marine Sergeant Major Tashigi dashes forward, drawing her sword and swiftly cutting down the man with the BW hat. As he falls, the back of his jacket is revealed to read 'BAROQUE I <3 M...VAL'. A shocked onlooker yells, 'Would you marines really hurt civilians unwillingly caught up in this rebe-!!' Page 9: Tashigi, panting and sweating, turns and shouts to her subordinates, 'Judge with your own eyes to see who's the enemy! You can't prevent anything by always waiting for proof!' A Marine asks, 'What're you hesitating for!? Sgt. Major Tashigi!' She looks up at the towering clock in the distance and notes, 'There's hardly any time before 4:30 now...'

Miss Father's Day, wearing a frog-themed outfit, replies, 'Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Maybe we'll get promoted big-time after this!' They stand beside an enormous cannon emblazoned with the Baroque Works skull and crossbones logo. Mr. 7 continues, 'In any case, ohohoho! I would assess, that this enormous cannon, is set to shoot right into the middle of the crowd below! Ohohohoho!' Page 11: Mr. 7 strikes a match, the flame illuminating his face as he announces, 'Preparing to light the fuuuussseeeee! Ohohohoho!' Miss Father's Day eagerly adds, 'It's almost time, Mr. 7! Ribbit!' The clock face outside ticks closer to the deadline. Down in the plaza, the fierce battle between the royal army and the rebels rages on. Deep underground in the crumbling tomb, Luffy lies face down in the rubble, heavily injured. Crocodile stands over him, smoking his cigar, and says, 'Just what..'
