The cover story continues with "GEDATSU'S CAREFREE LIFE IN THE BLUE SEAS VOL. 27: 'THE PRINCESS AND HER ENTOURAGE ARRIVE'". The illustration depicts Gedatsu standing in the center background, looking bewildered with his eyes wide and mouth open. In the foreground, several characters are seen from behind, walking towards a grand bathhouse. The bathhouse features large signs for "Men" (男) on the left and "Women" (女) on the right, with a central tower marked with the kanji for "Hot Water" (湯). The arriving entourage includes a tall woman with long blonde hair, a man with a striped shirt and a large shell-like hair structure, and other companions carrying bags. Page 1: The scene opens with two masked intruders shown in close-up panels. On the left, a woman with dark hair wearing a black mask over her eyes and a white hood looks forward with a cold, serious expression. On the right, a figure wearing a round, smiling panda mask with a beaded necklace grins menacingly. Below, a large crowd of armed shipwrights and townspeople has surrounded them in the courtyard of the Galley-La headquarters. They shout, "WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED, PIRATES!!!" and "SURRENDER! THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN!" One of the shipwrights remarks, "YOU SURE HAVE GUTS CHARGING IN WITH ALL OF US HERE." The panda-masked figure stands silently with a "....." speech bubble. In the bottom panels, the shipwrights prepare to attack, pointing their guns and weapons. One shouts, "SHOW YOUR FACES AND... PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" Another yells, "HE'S UP TO NO GOOD! FIRE!!" as the panda-masked figure stands calmly, saying "HMPH."
