The Straw Hat Pirates are enjoying bowls of ramen at a beachside stall called "Sea Food". Sanji is cooking the noodles in large pots, wearing a blue shirt and black apron. Zoro, in a brown shirt, holds out his empty bowl for a refill. Usopp sits cross-legged on a tree stump, slurping noodles with a boar beside him doing the same. Luffy sits on the ground in the foreground, eagerly stuffing his face with ramen, while another boar eats next to him. Chopper, Nami, and Robin are seated at a table in the background, also eating. The stall has a thatched roof and a sign with a dragon design. A text box reads "It's hot in here." Page 2: A ship sails through a massive, turbulent storm with dark, swirling clouds. A crew member shouts, "IT'S A HUGE STORM, ADMIRAL!" and "PLEASE BE A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED, SIR!" Inside the cabin, a man with a distinctive chestnut-shaped hairstyle, Mont Blanc Noland, sits calmly at a desk, writing in a logbook with a quill. Outside, the crew scrambles, yelling for rope and reporting that the yardarm has been hit. Noland's internal monologue notes, "Our current expedition is already well into its second year of voyage... Compared to the previous two, 1-month long expeditions, our extended stay out here seems like a miracle..." Noland pauses and asks, "Hm? Hey, you! Did you hear something just now?" A crewmate replies, "Did I hear something?...Umm, maybe thunder?" Noland smiles gently and says, "No... It was... A beautiful sound. Like the ring of a bell..." Page 3: A narration box reads "Grand Line, Jaya. Marine Calendar, Year 1122, May 21." Heavy rain pours over a lush, forested island. In a village with stone buildings and totem poles, people gather around a bedridden man. They cry out, "Pantori! (priest) Please hang in there!" and "Give us your guidance...!" The sick man, Pantori, pants heavily. Another villager reports, "ANOTHER... HAS SUCCUMBED... TO THE DISEASE..." A large man notes, "OUR CROPS HAVE ALSO WITHERING AWAY...!" The Pantori gasps, "ONLY BLOOD... RUNS ACROSS THESE LANDS NOW... THIS LAND HAS BEEN CURSED..." Page 4: The sick Pantori continues, "IF NOTHING IS DONE... THIS VILLAGE...! SHANDIA... WILL DIE OUT!" A villager asks, "What must we do, pantori!?" The Pantori, sweating and wide-eyed, yells, "BUT FEAR NOT AND FOLLOW MY ORDERS! OFFER THE BLOOD OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAIDEN IN THE VILLAGE TO LORD KASHI! BLOOD... ON THE SACRIFICIAL ALTAR...!" He breathes heavily, "HUFF... HUFF... FOR HER SACRIFICE... PREPARE MOUSSE... THE RITUAL," In the bottom panel, a young woman with long dark hair, Mousse, sits quietly in a room, looking out a window as the rain falls. Page 5: Blood drips from the Pantori's mouth. His hand goes limp and slides off the bed. A villager checks him and says, "...It's no good. His pulse is gone..." The villagers wail in despair, "AAAGHHH!" One cries, "First, our witch-doctor... And now even our village pantori is dead...! Whom can we rely upon now...?" Another villager asks, "How many do the dead now number...?" Someone answers, "Over a hundred for certain... Never has a calamity of such scale befallen our people!" Suddenly, a man notices something on the dead Pantori's body. "Hm? Ah! Hey, you! T... That mark...!" The man looks shocked as he points it out. Page 6: A young boy, Seto, runs out of a building into the rain, crying out, "AAAAA AAGGHH HHHHHH!" A man yells after him, "SETO! WAIT!" Inside, a warrior with a spear says, "Leave him be! BUT...! Once the mark of the evil spirit reveals itself... There's... Nothing we can do...!" Outside, Seto falls to his knees in the mud, clutching his arm. He screams, "GET OFF! GET OFF OF ME! DAMN IT! DAMN THIS MARK!" He pants heavily, looking at his hand, and cries, "If this is just a nightmare, Please let me wake up...!" Page 7: Mousse stands calmly, holding a patterned cloth. She smiles gently and says, "If my body will be of any use, I will gladly offer it." In the next panel, an older woman, her mother, covers her face and weeps bitterly. Mousse sits beside her mother in their home, smiling peacefully. She says, "Why do you cry, mother? I will soon be welcomed by the Sun God. To be selected for sacrifice is a joyous opportunity. If my life alone can save this village, then I could not be happier. Thank you... For raising me until now, Mother." Outside the door, a warrior stands in the rain, calling out, "MOUSSE!" Page 8: Seto sits in the rain, crying. A tall, muscular warrior with wild hair, Kalgara, approaches him holding a spear. Seto looks up and says, "Great warrior, Kalgara..." Kalgara looks down at him with a stern but pained expression. Seto cries, "I...
