At Punk Hazard's Central Lake, a massive black slime erupts violently from the water with a thunderous "UEEEER GHH!!" and "COUGH". Zoro's team faces the creature. A panicked voice cries, "WHAT SHALL WE DO, ZORO-SANI!!" Brook replies, "OH, WAIT. I DON'T HAVE ANY EYES." Another shouts, "AAARHH, MY EYES!! MY EEEEE EYES!!!" and "I... IT'S POISON GAS! POISON GAS SPEWS OUT WHEN I CUT THEM!" The skeleton taunts, "...YOU ALREADY WATCHED ME TRY THE SAME THING!! WHAT ARE YOU, SKELETON, AN IDIOTI!!" Brook laughs, "I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE BEEN UNLUCKY... YOHO HOHOHO!" In the lower panels, the striped-hatted samurai and others react in horror as the slime attacks: "OI... WHAT'S WRONGI!!" "AAAAG HHHHHH!!!" "URRNG GHHHH!!!" The samurai yells, "HOW DISGUSTING!!! COULD YOU PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE A BULLY, ZORO-SANI!" while noting, "I AM AROUND 70 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU, YOU KNOWI!" Zoro stands with arms crossed, unfazed.
