The cover story is "Caribou's Snickerings in the New World - Vol 3: So Much For That (ToT)." Caribou is caught in the current and flung away while the mermaids watch from the cove. This is cover-story material rather than the main Punk Hazard plot, but it continues Caribou's separate New World thread. Page 1: Around the New World, hidden viewers watch Caesar's broadcast and recognize the famous prisoners. One names "ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI TRAFALGAR LAW!!" Another identifies "THE PIRATE WHO HAS RECENTLY BEEN REPORTED TO BE BACK AT LARGE, STRAW HAT LUFFY!!" and "HIS CREWMATE, 'DEVIL CHILD' NICO ROBIN..." Smoker is recognized too: "...AND THE WILD DOG OF THE MARINES, 'WHITE HUNTER' SMOKER!!" The brokers wonder why so many famous people are being held captive by Caesar. One shadowed viewer calls to another, "HEY, KIDD. THESE GUYS..." as the transmission proves that Caesar has gathered valuable captives and a spectacle worth watching. Page 2: In another location, Eustass "Captain" Kidd steps forward, introduced as "Captain of the Kidd Pirates" with a bounty of 470 million beli. He says, "SO YOU'VE FINALLY MADE YOUR MOVE, STRAW HAT!!" but admits that this kind of brokerage is more Killer's world than his: "YOU'RE NOT THE TYPE TO GET MIXED UP IN THAT BROKERING STUFF ANY MORE THAN I AM, RIGHT, KILLER?" Killer, introduced as a Warrior of the Kidd Pirates with a 200 million beli bounty, says Trafalgar was plotting something after all, just when he seemed to have sold out to the Government. Kidd's crew hurries preparations, while Kidd snaps at someone to "TRY TO KEEP THINGS CIVIL, WOULD YOU, KIDD?" and answers, "YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW!!" Page 3: The meeting Kidd arranged is already collapsing into chaos. Scratchmen Apoo arrives with a loud "APPAPPA PAPPA!!!" and calls, "HEY THERE, CAPTAIN KIDD!!" Kidd snarls, "...!! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO MY HIDEOUT, SCRATCHMEN?!!" Apoo answers that he has not seen Kidd's face in a while and is glad to see it is "AS DISGUSTING AS ALWAYS!!!" Kidd's men apologize, saying they could not stop him. Apoo, introduced as "Captain of the On-Air Pirates Scratchmen Apoo" with a 350 million beli bounty, says he was only being careful because there might be snipers. Kidd is ready to fight, while Killer calmly warns that Apoo is a powerful man and that they should not have called "that idiot" if they did not expect this. Page 4: Basil Hawkins appears and immediately wants no part of the farce. He is introduced as "Captain of the Hawkins Pirates Basil Hawkins" with a 320 million beli bounty, and says, "THIS IS A FARCE... I THINK I'LL BE LEAVING." Apoo shouts, "WAIT!! HAWKINS!!! WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET!!" Killer tells both of them to cut it out and explains why they were called: "THE REASON WE CALLED THIS MEETING... IS TO PROPOSE AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN OUR THREE CREWS!!" Kidd, Apoo, and Hawkins all react sharply. The idea is serious, but the people involved are volatile enough that even proposing a discussion feels like lighting a fuse. Page 5: Back outside Caesar's research facility on Punk Hazard, the cage holding the captives hangs over the battlefield while the Shinokuni gas spreads below. Law says, "THAT'S RIGHT... LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH...!!" Luffy stares ahead, and the G-5 Marines panic beneath them. One screams, "DAMMITALL!! THAT GAS IS GONNA COVER THE WHOLE ISLAND!!" Others cry, "IT'S COMING TO GET US!!" and "WE'RE GONNA DIE!!" The battlefield is running out of safe space. Law's plan has to begin immediately, because the gas is closing in while Caesar still believes the cage is fully under his control. Page 6: Inside the cage, the prisoners search for a way to create cover. Franky asks, "IS THERE ANYONE IN HERE WHO CAN LIGHT FIRES?" Luffy says if there is not, that is fine, but Franky wants him to be frank. Franky explains that he can fire beams too, but his radical beam needs both arms positioned carefully, which the chains prevent. He asks Law, "CAN YOU BURN UP THAT BATTLESHIP OFF BELOW US TO THE RIGHT?" Franky, trapped in Chopper's body, says, "SURE THING, NO PROBLEM." Then he launches "FIRE-BALL!!" and the ship below catches fire, sending flames and smoke up through the snow while the people beneath shout, "THE SHIP'S CAUGHT FIRE!!!" Page 7: Caesar sees the smoke rising and misreads it as one last frustration from the captives. "WHAT NONSENSE IS THIS...?" he says, then laughs, "SHURORO... WORRY NOT, MY FRIEND... ONCE THIS EXPERIMENT IS OVER... I WILL PUT YOUR BODY TO EXCELLENT USE...!!" The smoke covers the hanging cage, and the people...
