Nami runs desperately through the sandy streets of Alubarna, panting heavily. "IT'S NO GOOD... I CAN'T OUTRUN THEM ANY LONGER..." she thinks, sweat dripping from her face. She skids to a halt, looking back over her shoulder. "I HAVE TO FI-" she starts to say. Approaching her calmly from down the street are two Baroque Works agents: a tall, muscular man wearing a coat with the kanji for "One" on his chest, and a woman with wild curly hair. Nami glares at them nervously.

Nami immediately abandons her thought of fighting, turning around and sprinting away again with a blunt "NOPE." and a "DASH!" Miss Doublefinger watches her go, commenting, "Aren't you impatient..." Mr. 1, looking annoyed, says, "How tiresome..." Suddenly, Mr. 1 dashes forward with incredible speed, closing the distance in an instant. Nami looks back, her eyes wide with shock as she screams, "AHH!" and "HUH!?"

03
Just as Mr. 1 is about to strike Nami from behind, Roronoa Zoro suddenly appears. He intercepts the attack, blocking Mr. 1's powerful downward strike with two of his swords crossed. The impact creates a shockwave. Nami, who has fallen to the ground, looks up in surprise and relief, yelling, "ZORO!" Zoro glares fiercely at Mr. 1, holding his ground against the heavy blow.

Behind Zoro and Mr. 1, a massive stone pillar spanning the street suddenly splits perfectly down the middle and begins to collapse. Nami watches in disbelief, exclaiming, "THE STONE PILLAR... SPLIT VERTICALLY!?" Mr. 1, his arm still locked against Zoro's swords, tells him, "You're in my way..." Zoro, analyzing the situation, replies, "Split? You're mistaken... That was definitely the sound of a blade just now..."

05
The two halves of the stone pillar crash to the ground with a loud "CLANG!", kicking up a cloud of dust. Nami realizes what happened and yells, "WHA!? You cut it, didn't you? With that arm of yours..." Zoro observes Mr. 1 closely, noting, "That's one hell of a body you've got there..." Mr. 1 looks at his own arm, simply replying, "I see..."

Mr. 1 explains his ability, holding up his hand. "I've eaten the 'Supa Supa' fruit, Making me into a human blade." Zoro recognizes him, saying, "You must be the one, That cut down 100 bounty-hunters at Whiskey Peak..." From the background, Miss Doublefinger chimes in, "...Back a few years ago in East Blue, There was a pirate-hunter who rejected B.W.'s invitation, And killed Mr. 7..." Mr. 1 concludes, "That must've been you as well." Zoro smiles confidently. "Ha, Hearing that sure does take me back... But you know, it was your organization that was at fault for rejecting my conditions...!"
ZoroMr. 1Miss Doublefinger
07
Zoro rests a sword on his shoulder, explaining his past encounter. "I made myself clear to your agent. I'LL JOIN ONLY IF I GET TO BE THE BOSS." He continues, "Instead of accepting my offer, that idiot tried to kill me, so I had no choice but to off him." Miss Doublefinger laughs, "Fufufu! What a fool!" Zoro smirks, adding, "Though I have to say, after hearing what a farce your organization is, I'd reject the offer even if I were allowed to become the boss. So have you come to try to persuade me as well?"
ZoroMr. 1Miss Doublefinger
08
Zoro and Mr. 1 clash violently, their blades sparking as they strike. Miss Doublefinger watches with an "Ooh-". Mr. 1 mocks Zoro, "A swordsman on a small-time pirate crew like you, Thinks he can make a fool out of me...?" Zoro pushes back, retorting, "And what if I am...? What does that make you!? A puppet without a will of its own, strung along by that false bait called 'Utopia'...?'" He continues his taunt, "Or a mindless tin soldier who can only follow orders...?"
ZoroMr. 1Miss Doublefinger
09
Miss Doublefinger speaks up, "Ms. Double Finger. 'I'll deal with him,' That's what you're gonna say, right?" Mr. 1 agrees, "Do as you wish." Zoro looks around, suddenly realizing Nami is no longer behind him. "...She's not here." He panics, yelling, "OH CRAP! NAMI!" Miss Doublefinger smiles wickedly, "Well then, I guess that leaves me with the girl..." Mr. 1 raises his bladed fingers, ready to continue his fight with Zoro.

Nami is shown running away again, panting heavily. A flashback begins, showing Nami talking to Usopp at his makeshift workbench. "WEAPON MODIFICATION?" she asks. She explains, "I just want a strong-enough weapon so that I won't be a hindrance to others... Especially for the upcoming battle..." Usopp, wearing his goggles, looks confused. "The heck are you goin' on about? I know I'm no real fighter, though I do have a good sense of style... And I'm cute..." Nami excitedly demands, "Yes! A new weapon for me!"
NamiUsopp
11
The flashback continues. Nami pleads with Usopp, "For Vivi's sake, I want to be able to fight with my own to hands as well!...But you know, it won't be long before we arrive at Alabasta. You of all people can understand how I feel, right, Usopp!?" Usopp is taken aback. "Wait just a second!" Nami looks downcast. "Sorry for asking..." Usopp sighs, "Oh... Yeah, I guess you can't just expect to become stronger that easily..." Suddenly, Usopp strikes a dramatic pose, pointing to the sky. "Are you implying that there's a task on this mortal realm, Impossible for even Usopp the Great...?" Nami instantly brightens up, showering him with praise. "Then you'll make one for me!? Thank you so much, Usopp! I love you!" Usopp tries to bring up payment, "Now, about the costs for the materials..." but Nami ignores him, walking away with a cheerful, "Thank you sooo much! Then I'll leave it to you!" Usopp mutters, "Uhh, weapons don't come free, y'know..."

Back in the present, Nami stops running. She pulls out three blue baton pieces and grips them tightly. "THAT'S RIGHT... JUST WHAT AM I DOING!? RUNNING AND HIDING FROM PLACE TO PLACE... DIDN'T I MAKE MY MIND UP TO FIGHT!?" She thinks about her friends, "I WONDER IF SHE AND THE OTHERS ARE FINE... IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE REBELS AT THE CITY GATES... I WON'T LET THE B.W. DO AS THEY WISH WITH THIS COUNTRY ANY LONGER!" With renewed determination, she declares, "NO! NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO WORRY!! I'M GOING TO GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT! EVEN I CAN TAKE DOWN A SINGLE WOMAN!"

13
Suddenly, a sharp spike pierces completely through Nami's shoulder from behind. She screams in agony, "AGHH!", and collapses to the stone floor. Miss Doublefinger walks up behind her, her fingers transformed into long, sharp spikes that poke into the ground with a "POKE! POKE!" sound. Nami looks back over her injured shoulder, her face pale with shock as she gasps, "WHA!?"
NamiMiss Doublefinger
14
Miss Doublefinger stands over the fallen Nami, laughing cruelly, "Fufufu..." Nami clutches her bleeding shoulder, grimacing in pain. Miss Doublefinger taunts her, "It won't matter where you hide or how far you try to run away... It's hopeless, missy." Nami analyzes the situation, thinking, "SO IS SHE A DEVIL FRUIT USER TOO!? OR DOES SHE HAVE SOME SORT OF SPECIAL SPEAR-LIKE WEAPON...?" She glares up at her attacker, muttering, "Ms. Double Finger...!"
NamiMiss Doublefinger
15
Miss Doublefinger demonstrates her power, transforming her arms and hair into a massive array of sharp spikes. "Did you figure it out? After eating the 'Toge Toge Fruit,' I've become a thorn-human. I can grow thorns from any part of my body." Nami is terrified, sweating profusely as she realizes the danger. "THORNS THAT CAN EASILY PIERCE EVEN A SOLID CONCRETE WALL...!! IF I GET CAUGHT EVEN ONCE, I'LL BE PIERCED ALL OVER AND DIE AN EARLY DEATH..." Miss Doublefinger retracts the spikes, asking mockingly, "Oh? Don't tell me you're seriously going to try to fight me?" Nami connects the three pieces of her staff together, her expression hardening. "That's right! I've got more than a fair chance of winning!"
NamiMiss Doublefinger
16
Nami holds up her newly assembled weapon, a long blue staff. "HAVE A TASTE OF MY NEW WEAPON! THE CLIMA-TACT!" She thinks to herself, "USOPP! I'M COUNTING ON YOU!" She confidently explains its capabilities: "It can conjure clouds! Summon rain! Call forth winds! Depending on how it's assembled, the Clima-Tact can create natural disasters of all kinds!" Miss Doublefinger looks on in confusion, uttering a bewildered "WHA...?" Nami disconnects the pieces and forms them into a triangle shape. "FIRST! CLEAR WEATHER! NOW I JUST PUSH THIS BUTTON HERE..."
NamiMiss Doublefinger
17
Nami shouts the attack name, "FINE-TEMPO!" A large puff of smoke erupts from the staff. To Nami's delight and Miss Doublefinger's utter bewilderment, a flock of white doves flies out of the smoke. Nami laughs joyfully, "Kyahaha! Wow! How delightful! Doves flew out!" Miss Doublefinger stares in stunned silence, a sweatdrop on her head, before yelling, "THE HELL WAS THAT!? A... Are you okay?"
NamiMiss Doublefinger
18
Nami quickly consults a small manual, sweating nervously. "NO! I'VE GOT TO BELIEVE IN MY CREWMATES! ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THIS SHOULD FORM THE RIFLE!" She reassembles the staff into a long line and points it like a gun. "THIS SHOULD BE EFFECTIVE! THIS TIME'S THE REAL THING!" She shouts, "CLOUDY TEMPO!" With a small "POP!", a bouquet of flowers shoots out of the end of the staff. Nami smiles, charmed by the trick. "Oh my! Such pretty flowers!" Miss Doublefinger looks at her with genuine pity, sighing, "POOR GIRL..." Realizing the weapon is just performing party tricks, Nami furiously slams the staff onto the ground, screaming, "HOW THE CRAP CAN I USE THIS!?"

This is a useful extra page containing an SBS (Question and Answer) corner with author Eiichiro Oda. Oda answers a fan's question about the specific types of tea preferred by various Baroque Works members, noting that Mr. 3 likes Earl Grey, Miss Goldenweek likes green tea, Mr. 5 likes gunpowder tea, and Miss Valentine likes lemon tea, while Mr. 2 prefers "takopa". Another fan points out that the children shown in a flashback of the Suna Suna Clan are the same characters as the adult leaders of the Rebellion. Oda confirms this, providing comparison panels showing the characters as kids and then 11 years later as adults in the Rebellion, noting that they call Kouza their leader.
