She is seated comfortably on a large, plush cushion that is being carried through the water by two large, round, spotted fish. Octopako has six arms; she uses two to hold up hand mirrors, one to hold a fan, and rests the others elegantly. She wears a striped top and a dark headband, looking quite pleased with herself as she takes her stroll across the ocean floor. Page 1: Out at sea, north of Sandy Island in Alabasta, a Marine ship sails through a sudden downpour. A voice calls out, "Smoker! What's with this sudden rain!? Don't tell me... You didn't use this dance powder, did you!?" Inside the cabin, Captain Smoker sits smoking two cigars at once. He replies calmly, "...Don't be idiotic. I know what is and isn't illegal." Standing behind him, looking out the window, is Marine HQ Captain Hina, known as "Hina the Black Cage". She questions him, "What would I gain by willingly violating the king of Alabasta's judgment, To never use this powder under any circumstances?" She then adds, "Pardon Hina. Hina reflects for baseless accusation. But those are some cute words from the man known as the 'White Hunter.' Has the hunter mellowed out a bit compared to the past?" Smoker simply retorts, "Mind your own business." Page 2: Hina turns her head slightly, her expression serious. "In any case, isn't this a little extreme? Appropriating my elite troops," she says. A close-up shows her looking annoyed as she continues, "Just to search for one puny ship... Quite vexing. Hina is vexed." A full-body shot reveals Hina's elegant attire, a dark suit with a Marine coat draped over her shoulders. She turns fully to face Smoker, placing a hand on her hip. "Oh come on, you and I've been long-term associates. Don't be like that," she tells him. Smoker, still seated and puffing on his cigars, grumbles, "Always giving me that excuse... Hina sympathises with Tashigi's troubles. Hmph..." Page 3: Outside, the massive Baroque Works' Artificial Rain ship, "The Fool", sails alongside the Marine vessels. Hina suggests, "Just take this artificial rain ship back to HQ. Along with Crocodile, who Tashigi'll be bringing over soon." Smoker scoffs at the idea, "Why should I? Get real. You think you can boss me around?" Hina confidently calls out, "Heads." Smoker flicks a coin high into the air. It spins and lands with a clink. Hina looks at the result and states, "You lose." Smoker sighs, leaning back in his chair, "Yeah, yeah, I'm already aware of that." Hina, clearly frustrated by his attitude, scolds him, "ALWAYS DOING THIS AND THAT YOUR WAY ONLY... YOU REALLY HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT SINCE YOUR DAYS AS A FRESH RECRUIT! HINA IS DISAPPOINTED!" Page 4: In the rain-soaked streets of Alabasta, a Marine urgently addresses Sergeant Major Tashigi. "But Sgt. Major! This is a golden opportunity! At our current strength, we won't be able to handle them once they regain cons-" Tashigi, standing firm in the downpour, cuts him off, "That's an order...!" The Marines look shocked, muttering, "Wha?" Tashigi's face is fierce and determined, rain streaming down her cheeks as she shouts, "I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYBODY... TO LAY A HAND ON THEM RIGHT NOW!" On the ground before her, the entire Straw Hat crew—Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper—lie completely unconscious and battered in the mud. A Marine protests, "B-BUT WHY!? THEY'RE ALL HERE IN ONE SPOT RIGHT NOW! THEY'RE SITTING DUCKS!" Page 5: Elsewhere in the city, the Rebel Army and the Royal Guards stand together in the rain. Someone calls out, "Leader..." Vivi kneels beside a heavily bandaged Kohza, who is lying on a stretcher. Kohza looks up at her and asks, "How are your wounds? You won't die on us, right...?" Vivi smiles gently, "You know... Toto said about Yuba that..." Kohza says her name, "Vivi." Tears well up in Vivi's eyes as she continues, "AND I'VE GOT HIS BLOOD RUNNING IN ME TOO..." Kohza smiles back, his face bruised but relieved. "I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YUBA, BUT... THAT STUBBORN OLD MAN OF MINE WON'T KICK THE BUCKET NO MATTER WHAT. I SEE YOU'RE STILL THE SAME OLD WORRY-WART..." Page 6: The citizens of Alabasta stand in the streets, looking up in awe as the rain continues to fall on the capital city of Alubarna. Kohza tells Vivi, "ONCE I GET FIXED UP, I'M HEADING BACK TO YUBA. I'LL SEND YOU A LETTER FROM THERE. DON'T WORRY." Vivi replies softly, "Sure..." Around them, the realization sets in. "It's raining!" someone shouts. The streets erupt into joyous cheers....
