The illustration shows former Marine Captain Morgan escaping on a small wooden boat, holding his son Helmeppo hostage by the collar. Morgan wields his large axe-hand, looking back aggressively, while Helmeppo cries out in panic. In the background, a large Marine ship is visible on the ocean. Page 1: On the deck of the Going Merry, Nami is negotiating with a News Coo, a seagull that delivers newspapers. She holds up a coin and complains, "DON'T YOU THINK IT'S GETTING A BIT TOO EXPENSIVE? ANOTHER PRICE-INCREASE?" In the background, Usopp is busy mixing something in a bowl and tells her, "WHAT'RE YOU GETTING SO RILED UP ABOUT? IT'S JUST A NEWSPAPER." Nami glares at the bird and threatens, "RAISE THE PRICE AGAIN AND I WON'T BE BUYING YOUR PAPERS ANYMORE." The bird drops the newspaper into her hands and takes the coin with a "CLINK" and a "CAWW...". Usopp continues his work, warning, "OK, OK. I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF DEVELOPING MY SECRET TABASCO STAR SO KEEP AWAY! AN ENEMY WHO GETS THIS IN THEIR EYE," while Nami walks past and scolds him, "DON'T BE STUPID. FROM NOW ON, I'M GOING TO BE SAVING UP MONEY FOR NO ONE BUT ME ALONE. THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO BE A PENNILESS PIRATE!" Usopp asks, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH SAVING UP MONEY?" Nami, holding the newspaper, replies matter-of-factly, "DAILY EXPENSES ALL ADD UP, DON'T YOU KNOW!?" as the News Coo flies away.
