A lone figure with spiky hair sits hunched on the cloudy ground, small question marks floating above his head. Nearby lies a crumpled body. In close-up, a stern face with an earring declares, "IT'S DECIDED THEN," while another voice trails off with "......". Smaller panels erupt with rage: "STUPID ASSHOLE....!!" as the beaten figure gasps "HAA...".

Luffy's intense close-up fills the frame as he shouts "TO THE SEAS AHEAD!!!" and "WE'LL GET A NEW SHIP.... AND WE'LL GO ON". Flashbacks erupt with the crew: "I WILL GO TO ELBAF!!

A figure stands over a kneeling person on the deck as narration continues, "HOW THIS KIND OF KINDNESS PAINS THE 'LOSER'!!! THINK ABOUT IT." On the ship deck, Nami looks worried with sweat drops, "....." Sanji stands in profile with a serious gaze. In the distance, the Going Merry floats damaged with "ZAH..." sound effect. From behind, Luffy's straw hat casts a shadow as he sweats, the impact hitting hard with the large text "HEAVY...!!!"

Usopp's face appears partially as Sanji continues, "DON'T HESITATE" The Going Merry is shown with its sheep figurehead and tattered Jolly Roger. Sanji questions firmly, "WHO CAN WE BELIEVE INI!!"
