The cover story is "ACE'S GREAT SEARCH FOR BLACKBEARD VOL. 12 'ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT-BUFFET AT THE MARINE BASE CAFETERIA'". The illustration shows Portgas D. Ace, disguised in a Marine uniform, standing at a self-service buffet line in a Marine base cafeteria. He has his hat pulled down slightly, but his face is clearly visible with his tongue sticking out in delight as he holds a massive plate piled high with food. To his right, a cheerful Marine chef is serving food from a large pot. Other Marines are in the background, getting their own meals, completely unaware that a notorious pirate is dining among them. The buffet table is laden with large bowls of food, and a large barrel dispenser sits on the left. Page 1: The page opens with a close-up of Usopp's face, contorted in absolute terror. Tears and snot stream down his face as he screams at the top of his lungs, "AAAA AAAA AAHH HHHH HHHH!" The next panel pulls back to show Usopp and Sanji plummeting through the sky amidst a shower of debris and rocks. Usopp continues to wail, "AAAAA AAAAA AAAHH HHHHH HHHHH HHHHH!" and panics, "WE'RE GONNA GO SPLAT ON THE GROUND!" Sanji, also falling headfirst, yells out in alarm, "WE'RE FALLING! WE'RE FALLING!" and "AAAHHH!". The final panel shows the violent impact as they crash into the stone ruins below. A massive "THUD" sound effect dominates the panel, accompanied by a large cloud of dust and debris kicking up from the force of their landing. Page 2: Following the crash, Nami's legs are shown as she walks towards the impact site in her high heels. An off-screen voice, presumably Sanji's, weakly says, "........." and "Judging by the voice, it's Nami, right? Well, it's glad to hear at least you're fine..." Nami peers over a stone ledge and spots Usopp and Sanji face-planted in the dirt and rubble. She cries out their names in concern, "USOPP! SANJI!" Nami rushes down to them, kneeling beside Sanji's battered body. She asks frantically, "Sanji, are you alright!?" Usopp, still on the ground, apologizes, "We're sorry you had to take the hit for our sake!" Nami praises Sanji's bravery, yelling, "SANJI, YOU WERE A REAL MAN BACK THERE! DON'T YOU DIE ON US!" She then grabs Sanji by the arms and starts dragging him away, saying, "In any case, let's get you two away from here." Sanji can only let out a muffled "MNNF!" as he is pulled along the ground. Page 3: Nami looks up at the massive twisted vine towering above them. "Look at that giant stalk!" she exclaims. "If it's the same one that I saw back at the ruins..." She deduces their location: "Then we're on an island cloud right above the ancient city ruins." Usopp, sitting up and rubbing his head, is shocked. "Ruins...? W-wait, you mean the City of Gold!? Does it actually exist!?" A small map panel illustrates their current location on an island cloud directly above the Shandora Ruins. Nami confirms, "Yes... But Enel took all of the gold." She continues, "In any case, if the ruins are below us, That's where Zoro and the others should be as well!" Usopp looks around nervously at the crumbling environment. "Well I don't know exactly where is where, but I do know that this place ain't safe." Nami agrees, holding her waver ready. "Right, so get on! We've gotta find the others and escape from this island!" Usopp nods, "Right!" He adds, "There's not a single place on Skypiea..." and Nami finishes his thought with a serious expression, "That's safe anymore!" Page 4: High in the sky, Enel's massive golden flying ship, the Maxim, continues its ominous flight. The ship rumbles and groans as its propellers spin. On the deck of the ship, Luffy is engaged in a fierce battle. He is violently thrown back by an attack, skidding across the golden floorboards with a grunt of "Nghh!" Smoke rises from the impact. Enel stands tall and imposing, looking down at the fallen pirate. "Curse those pirates of the Blue Seas...!" Enel mutters in annoyance. Luffy is shown on his hands and knees, clutching his straw hat, gritting his teeth with a "KRRRK...!!" sound. Enel notices something and says, "...Hm?" as he looks at Luffy's persistent struggle. Page 5: Enel confidently explains the mechanics of his flying ark to Luffy. "But you can't destroy this ship that easily," he boasts. "I've got a good understanding of this ship's engine." He continues, "And as long as I still have the windpower generated by the 200 extinct jet dials I gathered back on my homeland Birka, This ship can manage to stay afloat even if the electric engine were to stop working." Enel then raises his golden staff and strikes one of the tomoe drums mounted on his back, generating a loud "KRRK..." and...
