The cover story illustration, titled "JANGO'S DANCE PARADISE VOL. 24 'A GIRL TAKEN HOSTAGE'", shows Jango dancing enthusiastically with a woman who looks like Miss Valentine. They are striking a pose together. In the background, several Marines are watching them, some looking confused or surprised. Page 1: A massive sea creature suddenly bursts out of the ocean waves with a loud "Zaba" splash. It has the body of a large fish with scales, but its head is that of a giant, wide-eyed cat with its mouth wide open, meowing loudly. A text box identifies it: "Sea Cat (Marine Mammal) Habitat: Coasts of Sandy Island". On the deck of the Going Merry, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper scream in absolute terror, their eyes popping out of their heads. Luffy yells, "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?" while Usopp screams, "IT'S A MOOONSTEERR!" In stark contrast, Vivi looks delighted and smiles brightly, exclaiming, "IT'S A SEA CAT!" Page 2: Luffy and Zoro immediately go into hunting mode. Luffy drools heavily, his eyes wide with hunger as he shouts, "FOOOOOD!" Zoro draws his swords with a fierce grin, yelling, "OUR FIRST MEAL IN 4 DAYS!" Vivi is horrified by their reaction, screaming, "FOOOOOOD!" in shock. She tries to reason with them, saying, "We're still on course, so... We should be almost there by now..." Sanji, however, joins the hunt, shouting, "DON'T LET IT GET AWAY! WE HAVE TO HUNT IT DOWN NO MATTER WHAT!" The Sea Cat, sensing danger, starts to sweat and slowly backs away in the water. Usopp notices and points, "Ahh! It's backing away!" Chopper panics, yelling, "Back the ship up!" but Usopp retorts, "Ships can't move like that!"
