The cover story, titled "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 19 'AT THE MARKED SPOT ON THE MAP IS THE GIANT OCTOPUS MASH'", shows Hatchan swimming underwater. He is holding a map in one hand and has a thought bubble above his head showing an octopus face with a question mark. Below him, mostly buried in the sandy sea floor, is a massive octopus named Mash. Only Mash's large eyes, mouth, and a few thick tentacles are visible above the sand, with bubbles rising from its mouth. Page 1: Deep underground, the ruins begin to violently shake and crumble. Loud rumbling sounds, depicted with large sound effects like "DOOOM...", "DASH...!", and "RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE", fill the air as debris falls from the ceiling. Luffy looks around in confusion, exclaiming, "What's going on here...!?" He starts running to avoid the falling rocks, shouting, "WHOA" and "The whole place is falling apart!" A massive chunk of the ceiling crashes down behind him with a deafening roar of "DOOOOM...!!", sending up a huge cloud of dust and debris. Page 2: Outside in the city of Alubarna, a bright flare shoots high into the sky, leaving a trail of smoke and a loud "OOOOOOO" sound. Sanji and an unidentified royal guard look up at it. Sanji says, "I can't think of any other possible place!" The guard asks, "You really think it's in there!?" Nearby, Vivi runs toward a tall clock tower. The guard calls out, "W-wait up, Vivi!" and she replies, "Hurry then!" as the clock ticks "tic toc tic toc". Elsewhere, Sanji runs past Usopp, calling out, "I'm going on ahead, Usopp!" Usopp, who is kneeling on the ground drawing a symbol, replies, "Alright! Let me write a message for the others when they get here!" Page 3: At the top of the clock tower, Baroque Works agents Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day are celebrating their discovery. Mr. 7 laughs, "KAHAHA! THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW WHERE YOU WERE!" Miss Father's Day cheers, "YEEHAW! WE FOUND THE PRINCESS!" Below, Vivi stops in her tracks, gasping in shock with an "AH-". Sanji, running through the streets, looks up at the flare and realizes, "That's Usopp's signal! And since when was the palace so far away!?" Vivi panics, waving her arms frantically, "GAHH! We ended up calling the enemies too! Oh no, it's the B.W. again!" Meanwhile, Usopp is riding on Chopper in his Walk Point form. A voice yells "USOOOOPP-". Usopp says, "I wonder if they found the place!?" Chopper replies, "I'm sure they did!" Sanji, running nearby, says, "Good, it's close by!" Page 4: Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day open fire from the clock tower, sending a barrage of bullets toward Vivi. She screams "GAAAAHHHH!" and ducks as the bullets hit the ground around her, creating a loud "NOISE!" She yells "STOP!" and "AHHH!" Sanji quickly intervenes, leaping up and delivering a powerful kick to Mr. 7's face. Miss Father's Day yells, "AFTER THEM!" and "They're getting away!" Sanji lands and tells Vivi, "NOW, VIVI!" Vivi hesitates for a moment, saying "T... R-right!" before sprinting away toward the clock tower. Page 5: Back in the underground crypt, a massive cloud of dust and debris erupts from a powerful impact, accompanied by a loud "DOOOOM!!". As the dust settles, Luffy stands tall amidst the rubble, panting heavily with "HUFF HUFF". Crocodile, looking battered and shocked, stares at him and mutters, "YOU AGAIN?" Page 6: Crocodile glares at Luffy, demanding, "STRAW HAT!? WELL, Why must you come after me again and again no matter how many times I kill you? How... Are you still alive?" Luffy confidently replies, "I've cornered you now, Croc...!" On the ground nearby, a heavily injured Nico Robin weakly mutters, "STRAW HAT..." King Cobra, also lying injured, watches in disbelief, thinking, "How did he..." Luffy points an accusing finger at Crocodile and says, "The thing you've stolen...! You still haven't returned..." Crocodile loses his temper, screaming furiously, "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO KILL YOU BEFORE YOU'RE SATISFIED!?" Page 7: Crocodile bursts into arrogant laughter, "Kuhahaha! What is it you want back? I've stolen so many things, you see. Or perhaps the rain!? Trust...? Is it life? Money? Fame...? The thing I stole...?" Luffy stares him down with intense determination and shouts, "THE COUNTRY!" Crocodile is taken aback for a moment before smirking, "Country!? You're an odd fellow... I'm only about to steal the country now... By becoming its new king...!" Page 8: Luffy stands firm, telling Crocodile, "Her country was nowhere to be found! No, when I came here, it was already stolen!" As he speaks, memories of Vivi's struggles flash through his mind. He remembers Vivi crying, "IT WAS ON...
