The cover story is "Caribou's Snickerings in the New World - Vol 4: Captured by Jimbei." Jinbe sits in a small boat with Caribou trapped in a barrel beside him, while the Mermaid Cove scenery stretches behind them. This is cover-story material rather than the main Punk Hazard plot, but it is useful extra content because it continues Caribou's separate New World thread. Page 1: At the entrance of Caesar's research facility, Zoro, Kin'emon, Brook, Sanji, Nami, Brownbeard, the dragon, and the G-5 Marines crash through the shredded shutter and into the building. The Marines behind them scream, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!!" because Zoro and Kin'emon have cut open the only barrier between the facility and Shinokuni. Brownbeard barrels forward with the injured riders and the dragon, while the poisonous gas presses outside. The entry is no clean rescue; it is a stampede into the last shelter on the island. Page 2: The survivors pile into the lobby, gasping with relief and terror. Someone says, "IT'S GREAT THAT WE'VE MADE IT INSIDE..." but immediately another voice warns, "THIS IS BAD!!" The reason is plain: the poison gas is coming in with them. G-5 Marines shout, "...BUT NOW THE POISON GAS IS COMING IN WITH US!!!" and "AT THIS RATE, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" Someone angrily asks whether this is some kind of bad joke, and yells, "EVERYONE PLUG UP THAT HOLE!!!" The torn shutter becomes a lethal wound in the building. Page 3: The lobby fills with panic as the G-5 Marines swarm toward the opening. Brownbeard, still badly wounded, lies near the crowd while the Marines rush to block the breach with debris and panels. Outside, the gas floods the snowy structures and smoke-like clouds swallow the facility walls. The page shifts from the shouting interior to the silent exterior, showing the poison spreading over buildings, pipes, and ice. The scale of Shinokuni becomes clear: even after everyone has reached the facility, the island outside is being erased under a rolling field of toxic death. Page 4: The gas continues to cover Punk Hazard. Buildings vanish into the cloud, the broken cage hangs uselessly, and the research facility stands surrounded by Shinokuni. No dialogue interrupts the destruction; the panels simply show the poison crawling over the island and swallowing every visible route. The atmosphere is heavy and final, turning the outside world into something no living person should enter. The facility is now both refuge and trap: everyone is alive only because they got inside, but every exit is sealed by Caesar's weapon. Page 5: Inside the poisoned landscape, Visual Den Den Mushi continue to observe the aftermath. One stares across the drifting gas while another rests inside a protective bubble-like casing. A frozen shell cracks and breaks in the distance, but the cloud remains thick and heavy. The gas still floats through the island, and one observer notes, "IT'S STILL THICK AND HEAVY ALL AROUND..." Another says, "I CAN'T SEE HOW ANYONE WOULD SURVIVE EVEN A SINGLE STEP OUTSIDE INTO THIS..." The broadcast proves Caesar's claim: Shinokuni has made the outside nearly uninhabitable. Page 6: Brook stands near the sealed hole and reports on the outside. Someone asks, "HOW'S IT LOOK, BROOK?" and he answers, "IT IS LIKE A LAND OF DEATH OUT THERE." He thinks about how they might have died if they had not managed to close the hole. A Marine snaps back that Brook and his group caused the crisis by opening the hole in the first place, asking, "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT TO SAY AFTER YOU NEARLY JUST KILLED US ALL?!!" Brownbeard says, "RIGHT," and Zoro coolly nods. The G-5 Marines decide this pirate crew is even crazier than rumors say and raise their guns. Page 7: The G-5 Marines surround the newcomers and shout, "STRAW HAT PIRATES!! GIVE IT UP AND SURREND!!!" and "AND YOU TOO, PIRATE BROWNBEARD!!!!" Zoro, Kin'emon, Brook, Nami, Sanji, and Brownbeard suddenly find themselves cornered with nowhere to run. One of them asks how they became the ones being cornered after escaping the gas, while Brownbeard mutters that the Marines know his name. Brook cheerfully says, "YOHOHO!" Nami warns, "HEHEH... YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA REGRET THIS...!!" and the dragon growls, making the standoff even less stable. Page 8: Luffy notices the confrontation has already begun and says, "OH!! THEY'RE STARTING ALREADY?!" Law quickly tries to control the situation. He tells Smoker and Tashigi, "NOW, LISTEN. THE TWO OF YOU... ARE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF ME AND HIS CREW." Luffy calls, "AH!! TRA-DUDE!! HOLD IT RIGHT TH...
