The cover story continues as "CARIBOU'S KEHIHIHIHI IN THE NEW WORLD - VOLUME 20 - TO THE HARBOR." In the snowy harbor landscape, the old woman stands in the foreground and waves while Caribou, tiny in the distance, heads away carrying supplies toward a ship. It is a side-story page rather than part of the Punk Hazard action, but it continues Caribou's New World thread and shows him moving on from the village toward the harbor. Page 1: On Punk Hazard, the poison gas no longer controls the field. As the protective gear proves effective, someone marvels, "THE GAS HAS NO EFFECT!?" Another voice explains, "THIS PROTECTIVE GEAR WAS DEVELOPED BY VEGAPUNK," and the answer to Caesar's failure becomes clear: "HE'S REALLY WAY SMARTER THAN CAESAR!" Caesar understood the danger too, and that is why he ordered the gear removed: "BUT CAESAR KNEW THAT. THAT'S WHY..." The men realize, "THAT'S WHY HE SAID THE GEAR WOULDN'T PROVIDE PROTECTION," and, "HE TOLD THEM TO STRIP IT OFF IN ORDER TO RUN AWAY AT FULL SPEED." The result is visible around them: Caesar's own men are frozen in place. "SO THAT'S WHY HIS MEN GOT PETRIFIED," one says, while another urges, "HEY, HURRY UP!!" The trapped allies are still paralyzed, and the rescuers have only a little time before the poison finishes its work: "BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY'VE ONLY GOT ANOTHER HALF DAY OR SO BEFORE THEY ABSORB THE POISON AND DIE...!! WE'VE GOT TO FIND THEM AND BREAK THOSE SHELLS!!" Page 2: Brownbeard, still battered but alive, thanks the Marines for letting him return into the island: "UOH HO, THANKS FOR THIS. TO THINK YOU'D GIVE US PERMISSION TO HEAD BACK INTO THE ISLAND...!!" He accepts that saving his men comes before his own freedom: "NOW I CAN SAVE MY MEN...!! BUT I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK HERE SO YOU CAN ARREST ME!!" He promises, "I WON'T FORGET YOUR NAME...!!" The Marine response is curt: "WHATEVER. THIS THE ONLY EXIT... HURRY UP AND GO NOW." As the search begins, they reach the petrified bodies and the air turns uneasy. "WHAT DO WE DO NOW... ALL WE HAVE TO TAKE IN ARE THESE," someone says. The frozen, chained forms lie in the snow while the Marines ask the uncomfortable question: "ARE THESE GUYS PIRATES?" Another answers only with nervous disgust: "WELL... THIS IS KIND OF CREEPY." Page 3: The search is interrupted from above. A Marine notices something unnatural in the sky: "HUH!? I SEE A HEAD! INCOMING!!" Another looks up and mutters, "HMM?" then "AH!!" The shape is not falling wreckage. It is Baby 5 and Buffalo's severed heads, sent down ahead of Doflamingo's arrival. The Marines recoil: "EH? WHAT ARE YOU..." Then the pieces come crashing through the air. Someone shouts, "THEY CAME FLYING DOWN!!" A horrified Marine understands the identity of what has landed: "Y... YOU'RE RIGHT, THEY'RE HEADS!!" The scene turns from rescue to threat in a breath. Law's message to Doflamingo has arrived on Punk Hazard, and Doflamingo himself is close behind it. Page 4: Doflamingo lands in the middle of the Marines like a force dropped from the sky. The air roars with "WHOOSH" as he descends, and the men around him barely have time to understand what is happening. One Marine cries, "EH!?" Another recognizes him in disbelief: "DO-!!" The name forms with terror before the full realization hits: "DOFLA-MINGO!??" Doflamingo's face is calm, almost amused, but the page gives him the weight of disaster. His arrival confirms that Punk Hazard's aftermath is not safe at all. Law's operation did not merely end Caesar's experiment; it dragged one of the most dangerous Shichibukai directly onto the island, and now the Marines left behind are standing in his path. Page 5: The Marines break into panic the moment Doflamingo moves. "WHY IS HE HERE!?" one shouts, while another can only say, "WHY..." Doflamingo does not answer with words. His power sweeps through them, and the men are thrown, cut, and scattered across the snow. Weapons fly from their hands. Bodies slam into the ground. The page is mostly impact and sound, with the Marines reduced to broken cries: "!?" and "UHH..." Doflamingo strides through the chaos as if the entire squad is nothing more than debris. The sudden violence shows the difference between ordinary Marine strength and the kind of threat Law has deliberately provoked. G-5 survived Caesar's laboratory and helped save the children, but against Doflamingo they are helpless almost immediately. Page 6: Doflamingo laughs over the fallen Marines: "FLUFFU FLUFFU FLUFFU!!" Someone identifies the pressure that just overwhelmed them: "THAT WAS CONQUEROR...
