The Straw Hat Pirates are enjoying a sunny day at the beach, playing with a giant, intricately patterned fish that floats in the air. Luffy runs forward with a huge grin, wearing a red floral shirt and orange shorts. Zoro runs behind him, looking energetic. Robin stands calmly in the center, smiling. Chopper leaps high into the air, holding a colorful beach ball. Sanji performs a handstand kick, while Usopp jumps excitedly nearby. Nami runs happily in a bikini. The background is filled with palm trees, sandy cliffs, and schools of flying fish soaring around the giant fish. Page 1: A wide establishing shot of Water Seven, the city of water. The massive fountain at the top of the city flows down, and the numbered docks are visible along the lower levels. In the foreground, a pirate ship with a Jolly Roger flag sails towards the city. The wind blows strongly, making a 'BASA BASA' sound against the ship's dark sails. Page 2: Inside the Going Merry, the ship appears completely deserted. The wind howls through the empty rooms. The sheep figurehead looks out over the sea. The bathroom, the lounge, and the deck are all vacant, with no sign of the crew. Usopp's mask and weapon sit abandoned on the deck. The ship sits quietly on the water as the wind continues to blow, creating a lonely and eerie atmosphere. Page 3: The next morning, on the streets of Water Seven, the citizens are in an uproar. A large crowd has gathered outside the Galley-La Company's Dock 1, shouting and demanding answers. People are gossiping about an incident in Zousenjima. 'Hey did ya hear about what happened in Zousenjima!?' one asks. 'No, it might've been one of the pirates going in and out of the island!' another replies. 'We should've arrested them when they first appeared...!!!' 'Yah! It's gotta be Franky!! Only he would do that!!!' Reporters are clamoring at the gates, shouting questions. 'Who was the first to find out about the shooting!!?' 'Give us the latest information!!' 'Do you have a suspect!!?' 'Does it have anything to do with the destruction of the Franky House!!?' 'Please comment!!' Page 4: Sanji walks onto the roof of an inn in an alley. He finds Chopper standing there, looking out over the city. Sanji says, 'We paid for rooms and no one's in there. Guess they can't sleep... or something...... There you are.' Sanji walks up to Chopper and asks, 'Where's Luffy?' Chopper points to a nearby dome where Luffy is sitting quietly. 'There.' Sanji takes a drag from his cigarette and says, 'Wonder where she went without saying a word......' Chopper replies, 'I thought maybe..... Robin-chan would come back. I was keeping watch at the peninsula..... Where'd you go Sanji?' Page 5: Chopper continues, 'If anything happens, we'll regroup in the hotel room. I think I'll search around on the streets today.' Sanji agrees, 'Ok... sure.......!! I'll go too!! To search!!' Suddenly, Nami bursts onto the rooftop, panting heavily and looking panicked. 'Luffy!! Nami-san..... Big news, guys! Everyone in the city is talking about it...!! Luffy...!!' She catches her breath and delivers the shocking news: 'Last night Iceberg-san was.....!!!' Page 6: Nami shouts the rest of her sentence, 'Iceberg-san was shot in his house!!?' The scene cuts to a flashback or simultaneous event of Paulie yelling furiously into a Den Den Mushi. 'Hey!!! Don't kid with me man!! Is he dead!!?' The person on the other end replies, 'He's not the type to make people hold a grudge against him! Hey! Calm down and listen to me!!!' The snail's expression matches the speaker's urgency. 'He was found lying in a pool of his own blood this morning. He's in a comatose state... I mean, he's unconscious. Anyway..... come to HQ right away!!!' Page 7: Inside the Galley-La Company Headquarters, Peeply Lulu and Tilestone are discussing the dire situation. Lulu asks, 'Lulu! Where's Paulie!?' Tilestone answers, 'I just called him. He's coming.' Lulu looks stressed, pacing the floor. 'What a mess. The whole city is in a state of panic... If something happens to him, Water Seven and the Galley-La Company are finished!!!' Tilestone adds, 'Yeah, there are reporters pushing at the front doors of HQ, too. Who could've done it and why.....' Kaku chimes in, 'Although it's really messed up in the company, nothing of value, like gold, was stolen. So it wasn't just a simple burglary!' Lulu touches his head, looking troubled. 'I think it might be... the government.' Page 8: Lulu elaborates on his suspicion, 'That man, Kougii..... He comes to talk with Iceberg-san, and he gets thrown out every time. Don't know what they talked a...
