The title page for Chapter 49 “STORM” displays a large illustration of a giant white seagull wearing a Marine cap labeled “MARINE” affectionately hugging a young woman with pigtails. She sits on the grass laughing heartily with her mouth wide open, one arm wrapped around the bird’s neck. The seagull’s hat flies off to the side near a red mailbox marked with a “T”. Seagulls fly in the cloudy sky above a distant building. No dialogue appears on the page.

Inside the Baratie restaurant, shocked patrons react to shocking news. A large speech bubble at the top reads, “HOW COULD OUR ENTIRE FLEET BE SUNK BY A SINGLE MAN!I” Below, an elderly chef with a long braided beard and a large fork states, “THE WORK OF THE HAWK-EYED MAN, WITHOUT A DOUBT…” while a man in a straw hat sits nearby. In a close-up panel a bald man clutches his head and says, “THAT HAD TO BE…” as sweat drops fly from his face.

Patrons continue reacting in shock. A long-haired man with a striped headband shouts, “HAWK-EYED MAN!I” Zeff stands with arms crossed, declaring, “BUT THE FACT THAT HE SUNK YOUR ENTIRE FLEET, IS MORE THAN ENOUGH PROOF THAT IT REALLY WAS HIM…!” and “YOU SAYING THAT YOU WITNESSED A MAN, WHOSE GLARE WAS AS SHARP AS THAT OF A HAWK DOESN’T NECESSARILY PROVE IT WAS HIM.” Two seated customers say “BEATS ME.” and “WHO’S THATI” while a checkered-bandana man exclaims, “HAWK-EYED…!I” with a sweat drop and open mouth.

Johnny leans in close and tells Luffy, "ACCORDING TO WHAT JOHNNY SAID... HE'S THE MAN I'M SEARCHING FOR..." Luffy stares back in surprise. In the kitchen the cooks discuss the red-eyed stranger: "YEAH, THAT IDIOT WHO CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BLEW UP." "RIGHT, YOU MEAN THAT GUY WHO GOT SO PISS-DRINK FROM WINE THAT HIS EYES TURNED RED." "IF IT'S THE RED-EYED MAN, I REMEMBER HIM COMING TO THIS SHOP BEFORE." "HAWK-EYED MAN, HUH..." One cook chuckles, "HEH HEH, THAT WAS QUITE A SIGHT." At the table Luffy sits with Sanji and replies, "NO, NEVER MIND." Sanji asks, "HMI WHAT ABOUT JOHNNYI" A close-up shows a scarred man with a serious expression: "EVEN THAT 'HAWK-EYED MAN' YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HAS BEEN SIGHTED THERE ONCE BEFORE." Johnny sweats and protests, "THAT IDIOT GOT HIS INFORMATION MIXED UP!"

Don Krieg's subordinate roars in fury, "THAT'S BULLSHIT! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I DESTROYED OUR ENTIRE FLEET FOR THAT!I" The blond-haired man answers calmly, "PERHAPS YOU DISTURBED HIS AFTERNOON NAP..." "I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING LIKE THAT! HE JUST ATTACKED US ALL OF A SUDDEN!" "FOR HIM TO DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE FLEET LIKE THAT...I DID HE BEAR SOME ILL GRUDGE AGAINST YOU GUYS." The blond man continues, "NO NEED TO GET SO IRRITATED, IT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE. THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF PLACE GRAND LINE IS." Luffy's eyes sparkle as he pumps his fists, "HEE HEE! THAT SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A THRILL!" "WE DEFINITELY GOTTA GO THERE!" Johnny panics, "COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY TO THINK OF THE DANGER!I" while Sanji and the others watch with varied expressions.

Sanji sits with one leg propped up, sword at his side, and declares, "CONSIDERING THAT 'THAT MAN' IS THERE AS WELL! BUT WITH THIS IT LOOKS LIKE MY OWN GOAL, IS INEXTRICABLY TIED WITH GRAND LINE." In the background diners react with surprise. Sanji narrows his eyes and adds, "TRUE, BUT I'D RATHER HAVE YOU LEAVE OUT THE 'IDIOT' PART......BUNCH OF IDIOTS. YOU LOT ARE THE TYPE TO RUSH TO THEIR DEATHS." A close-up shows his serious face as he states, "THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO CALL ME AN IDIOT IS ME ALONE. EVER SINCE I'VE DECIDED TO BECOME THE WORLD'S GREATEST SWORDSMAN, I THREW AWAY MY ATTACHMENT TO LIFE."

Sanji mutters, "WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP....PSH." Luffy raises his arm excitedly, "AS A REAL MAN, THE SAME GOES FOR ME TOO." "OOH! ME TOO!" while Johnny protests, "LIAR." A large panel reveals the towering figure of Don Krieg bursting onto the scene: "THE SHIP OF THE STRONGEST PIRATE IN ALL OF EAST BLUE! THE GIGANTIC GALLEON THAT'S PARKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR RESTAURANT, BELONGS TO THE PIRATE FLEET ADMIRAL DON KRIEG!" Krieg's subordinate yells, "HEY, RETARDS! HAVEN'T YOU REALIZED THE SITUATION WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW!I" as the restaurant patrons react in shock.

The Baratie cooks brandish kitchen weapons and brace for impact. "BRACE YOURSELF! THIS SHIP IS OUR RESTAURANT!" one yells while another shouts, "I CAN HEAR THEM COMING!" Sanji stands with a cigarette, eyes narrowing as the ship shakes. Nearby, Luffy sits cross-legged with arms folded, unfazed. Below deck, the massive galleon lurches violently; crew members tumble through the air amid splintering wood and impact lines. A bearded man with a chain necklace roars, "MOVE IT YOU DAMN COOKS!"

A colossal impact rips through the Baratie. The entire restaurant ship is violently tilted and torn, wooden decks and railings shattering under massive force. Huge black impact letters dominate the page as the structure buckles. The name "BARATIE" is visible on the hull amid the chaos. A massive "!!!!I" reaction bubble captures the sheer disbelief of the moment.

The cooks react in shock. One staggers back with mouth agape, "WHA...!!I" Sanji's eyes widen in alarm. Luffy bolts upright, shouting "WHAT!I" The helmeted pirate and others stare in stunned silence. A close-up shows the chain-necked man bellowing, "WHAT WAS THAT JUST NOW!I" as the ship continues to tremble from the unseen slash.

Panic erupts on the deck as the ship lurches violently. A crew member yells, "IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE ALREADY!" Another shouts, "CRAP! OUR SHIP WAS OUTSIDE TOO, WITH NAMI, YOSAKU AND JOHNNY STILL INSIDE!" Below, the cooks struggle at the wheel. "OR THIS SHIP'S GONNA GET DRAGGED UNDER!" one cries while pointing frantically. "RAISE THE ANCHOR!" another orders. "YES, SIR!" comes the reply. In the water, Yosaku and Johnny flail desperately. "THE SHIP! WHERE'S OUR SHIP!I WHAT HAPPENED TO NAMI!I" Yosaku shouts. "YOSAKU! JOHNNY! YOU ALRIGHTI" a voice calls. Zoro bursts forward with a furious roar, "BROTHER ZORO!!!" as impact lines explode around him. "She's not here anymore!" someone reports. "About that... we're sorry, bro...!"

Nami stands on the deck with a bright smile, waving cheerfully. "TELL THE OTHERS THAT IF WE'RE TRULY LINKED BY FATE, WE'LL MEET AGAIN!" she says, sticking out her tongue. "WELL, SEE YA THEN!" A tearful Johnny and Yosaku wail in the background, "TOOK THE TREASURE AND SAILED AWAY!" "SISTER NAMI...!" Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp react with explosive shock. "WHAAAA!I" they scream in unison. "WHA!I" The scene cuts to a tiny boat drifting away on the waves. "THAT MAN IS...!" an unseen voice notes.
