THIS TEA IS DELICIOUS

Nami yells desperately at Luffy, "LUFFY! WE DON'T HAVE ANY TIME LEFT! SO HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THING!" She, Zoro, and Vivi are trapped in the lower tier of a giant wax structure that looks like a cake with a pumpkin on top. Luffy stands in front of the structure, looking at them. He replies calmly, "...YEAH, I KNOW." Nami screams back, "IF YOU KNOW, THEN HURRY THE HELL UP!" A close-up shows Luffy with a blank, unmotivated expression. He says, "I KNOW BUT... I DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU...!" A large sound effect "DON!" emphasizes his refusal.

Nami is furious, yelling at Luffy, "IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WHETHER YOU FEEL LIKE IT, JUST HELP US ALREADY!" Luffy, still standing casually, replies, "...YEAH, BUT I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT." Nami screams, her face contorted in anger, "YOU DO REALIZE WE'RE ABOUT TO BECOME WAX-FIGURES!? THAT WE'RE ON THE VERGE OF DEATH!? WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?" Meanwhile, Usopp and Karoo are running away in a panic. Usopp yells, "LET'S GO, CARUE!" and Karoo quacks. Usopp worries, "IF WE DON'T HURRY UP, OUR FRIENDS WILL BE KILLED! WE GOTTA BRING HIM BACK TO HIS SENSES! WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO HIM!?" Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine stand nearby. Mr. 5 explains, "GIVE IT UP, HE'S ALREADY FALLEN INTO A TRAP. THAT'S RIGHT. JUST LOOK AT WHAT'S BELOW HIS FEET." Usopp and Karoo stop in their tracks, shocked.

Miss Goldenweek casually eats a rice cracker and says, "OH, IT'S NOTHING. JUST A SIMPLE PAINTING. KYAHAHAHA..." Usopp looks shocked and asks, "PAINTING!?" He wonders, "WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT THING...!?" Luffy is shown standing on a black swirl painted on the ground while Usopp and Karoo notice it, "HUH? THERE'S SOME SORT OF WEIRD BLACK DRAWING... BELOW HIS FEET?" Suddenly, Mr. 5 fires an explosive attack from his mouth towards Usopp and Karoo, shouting, "IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS THE END OF BOTH YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS!" Usopp yells "WHOA!" as a massive explosion erupts. Miss Valentine laughs, "PLANNING TO RUN AWAY ON THE BIRD!?" Usopp and Karoo are seen running frantically. Usopp yells, "CARUE! RUN FOR IT! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!" Karoo quacks as they dash away.

Usopp runs desperately behind Karoo, trying to catch up as explosions go off behind them. He yells, "WAIT, WAIT! I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ON YOU YET!" Karoo quacks in panic. Off-screen, Mr. 5 says, "WE'RE CHASING AFTER THEM," and Miss Valentine agrees, "YES." Usopp yells at the bird, "WHAT'RE YOU GETTING SCARED OF ME FOR!?" Karoo continues to quack. Usopp manages to grab Karoo's tail feathers, shouting, "HEY! I SAID STOP! LET ME ON F..." Karoo keeps running. Back at the wax structure, Nami, trapped alongside Zoro and Vivi, glares at Miss Goldenweek and says, "MISS GOLDEN WEEK, THIS IS YOUR DOING, ISN'T IT!?"

A close-up shows Miss Goldenweek munching on a cracker. She explains, "COLOURS TRAP, BETRAYAL BLACK. TOUCH THE BLACK PAINTING AND YOU'LL WANT TO BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS NO MATTER HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO YOU." Nami, trapped in the wax, asks, "WHAT'S GOING ON!? WHAT'S HAPPENING!?" She then realizes, "MISS GOLDEN WEEK, IS A REALIST PAINTER WHO CAN REALISTICALLY PORTRAY EVEN THE VERY COLOUR OF EMOTIONS. HER SPECIAL PAINTINGS, WHEN TOUCHED BY A PERSON, HAS THE SPECIAL POWER TO SUGGEST VARIOUS EMOTIONS TO THE SUBCONSCIOUS." Zoro, also trapped, looks shocked and says, "SUGGESTIONS TO THE SUBCONSCIOUS!? OH CRAP! FOR A SIMPLE-MINDED IDIOT LIKE HIM, HYPNOSIS OR SOME OTHER MIND TRICKS, ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE ATTACKS YOU CAN USE!" Luffy is shown standing on the black swirl, looking blank.

Nami yells desperately, "BUT... THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET HIM OFF OF THAT WEIRD PAINTING, RIGHT!? LUFFY! GET AWAY FROM THAT SPOT!" Vivi uses reverse psychology, "NO, LUFFY, DON'T! YOU MUSTN'T STEP ONE FOOT OUTSIDE FROM THE BLACK SYMBOL BENEATH YOUR FEET! PLEASE!" Luffy, influenced by the reverse psychology, steps off the black swirl and says, "...NO." Vivi continues, "WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT YOU TO HELP US AT ALL!" Nami tries to stop Vivi, "VIVI! WHAT'RE YOU-" Miss Goldenweek continues to munch on her cracker. Zoro realizes what happened and says, "I SEE..." Luffy suddenly snaps out of it, looking shocked. He says, "AH! I... I JUST FELT REALLY WEIRD ALL OF A SUDDEN! I'M COMING TO HELP YOU RIGHT NOW!"

Luffy suddenly bursts into uncontrollable laughter, throwing his head back. "BUWAHAHAHAHAHA! BUT BEFORE THAT, I GOTTA LAUGH! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Nami and Zoro look on in shock. Nami yells, "WHAA-AAT!?" and Zoro asks, "WHAT IS IT THIS TIME!?" Miss Goldenweek is shown holding her palette and brush, having painted a yellow symbol on Luffy's shirt. She says, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! COLOURS TRAP, 'LAUGHING YELLOW.' CAN'T HAVE YOU MOVING NOW..."

Zoro yells in frustration, "CRAP... AT THE CURRENT SPEED THIS MIST OF WAX IS RAINING DOWN ON US, WE WON'T LAST EVEN A MINUTE MORE!" Nami shouts at Luffy, "THE PAINTING'S ON HIS CLOTHES THIS TIME! LUFFY! HURRY UP AND TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF!" Luffy, still laughing uncontrollably, replies, "NAH, I JUST WANNA LAUGH INSTEAD! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Suddenly, Usopp and Karoo run right into Luffy, knocking him over. Usopp yells, "AGHHH!" and Luffy laughs, "BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nami asks, "DID YOU COME HERE TO PLAY OR WHAT!?" Usopp groans, "OH, CARUE..." Usopp complains, "DAMN IT! WHY'S THAT LITTLE BUGGER SO FREAKIN' FAST!?" Luffy starts to get up, groaning, "UGH..." and accuses Miss Goldenweek, "YOU DID SOMETHING TO ME AGAIN, DIDN'T YOU?" Nami notices something and says, "AH, LOOK! THE PAINTING ON LUFFY'S BACK FADED AWAY A LITTLE BECAUSE HE JUST BUMPED INTO USOPP AND CARUE!"

Luffy glares angrily at Miss Goldenweek and yells, "QUIT IT ALREADY, THAT'S REALLY ANNOYING!" Miss Goldenweek asks, "WASN'T MY LAUGHING YELLOW FUN?" Luffy retorts, "SHUT UP, YOU DUMB-DUMB-HEAD!" Miss Goldenweek splashes red paint onto Luffy, saying, "COLOURS TRAP, 'BULL-FIGHTING RED.'" Luffy prepares an attack, saying, "IN ANY CASE, I GOTTA DESTROY THAT PUMPKIN! GOMU GOMU..." Miss Goldenweek explains, "JUST AS A CHARGING BULL WANTS TO ATTACK A WAVING RED CAPE, YOU'LL WANT TO ATTACK THAT 'BULLFIGHTING RED.'" Instead of attacking the pumpkin, Luffy turns and fires his "BAZOOKA!" attack directly at Zoro, Nami, and Vivi. Zoro yells, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU AIMING!?" Miss Goldenweek adds, "YOU CAN'T DESTROY THAT OR MR. 3 WILL BE ANGRY AT ME."

Luffy is furious, yelling, "AGHHHH! I SWEAR I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS! JUST GET LOST! GOMU GOMU..." He launches another "BAZOOKA!" attack, again hitting the wax structure where his friends are trapped. Miss Goldenweek asks, "HAVING FUN?" Nami looks desperate and says, "IT'S USELESS... HE JUST HAD TO GO UP AGAINST THE WORST TYPE OF ENEMY POSSIBLE...! HE'S JUST WASTING HIS ENERGY...!" Miss Goldenweek prepares her next move, saying, "TIME FOR THE FINISHING TOUCH. MIX MELANCHOLIC BLUE WITH THE LAUGHING YELLOW ALREADY ON YOUR BACK TO GET..." She paints a green symbol on Luffy. "COLOURS TRAP! 'CALMING GREEN!'" Luffy immediately stops attacking and sits down calmly.

Luffy is now sitting calmly on a picnic blanket, having tea with Miss Goldenweek. Nami and Vivi, still trapped in the wax, scream in unison, "THAT IDIOT!" Luffy sips his tea and says, "THIS TEA IS DELICIOUS." Vivi yells, "COULD YOU PLEASE BE MORE SERIOUS HERE!?" Zoro, accepting his fate with a smile, says, "TOO BAD FOR YOU. WHAT'D I TELL YA? SHOULD HAVE PICKED A POSE WHILE YOU STILL COULD." Nami looks worried and asks, "WHAT DO WE DO NOW...?" In the bottom panel, Mr. 5 aims his gun and says, "NOSE FANCY DOUBLE CANNON!"

Mr. 5 fires his gun, shouting, "CERTAIN KILL LEAD STAR!" The shot misses Usopp and Karoo, causing a large explosion behind them. Usopp laughs, "PUHAHAHAHA! MISSED! GOOD JOB, CARUE!" Karoo quacks. Miss Valentine tells Mr. 5, "TRYING TO CHASE THEM ISN'T GOING TO GET US ANYWHERE." Mr. 5 agrees, "TRUE." He holds his gun and says, "I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO USE THIS THING ON A COUPLE OF SMALL FRIES LIKE THEM BUT..." Usopp and Karoo continue running. Usopp says, "A PISTOL!? IT'S FINE, WE CAN DODGE AT LEAST ONE BULLET WITH PURE WILL-POWER!" He looks determined and adds, "IN ANY CASE, WE HAVE TO GO BACK IN FRONT OF LUFFY AND THE OTHERS!"

Usopp realizes the nature of the enemy's attacks. He thinks, "AS THE ENEMIES SAID, THAT WEIRD PAINTING IS THEIR TRAP! LAST TIME WHEN WE BUMPED INTO LUFFY, IT WAS ON HIS BACK. THE ONE WHO PAINTED IT ON HAS GOT TO BE THAT EASYGOING-LOOKING GIRL! THAT'S THE ONLY POSSIBLE CAUSE!" He urges Karoo, "QUICKLY!" Karoo quacks as they sprint forward. They run towards the wax structure, and Usopp looks surprised, "!!?"

Zoro, Nami, and Vivi are shown almost completely encased in wax, frozen in their poses. A close-up shows the wax covering half of Zoro's face. Mr. 5 aims his revolver and says, "YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DODGE THIS. IT'S A FLINTLOCK.44 CALIBRE 6-SHOT REVOLVER. THE LATEST MODEL FROM SOUTH BLUE. WITH ITS RAPID-FIRE ABILITY, YOU WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO SEE THE BULLETS WHEN I SHOOT WITH IT." He cocks the gun.

Usopp and Karoo arrive to see Luffy calmly having tea. Usopp yells, "LUFFY! WHAT'RE YOU..." Luffy replies, "AHH, THIS TEA IS DELICIOUS..." Usopp yells, "YOU IDIOT..." Luffy struggles against the calming effect, his face straining as he tries to pull himself away. He stammers, "DE... LI... CIOUS... THIS TEA IS..." Mr. 5 blows into the chamber of his revolver and says, "IT'S OVER FOR ALL OF YOU! THIS IS MY ULTIMATE ABILITY...! BLOW"

Usopp fires his slingshot at Luffy, yelling, "CRAP, HE FIRED! CERTAIN KILL..." The projectile hits Luffy's shirt and bursts into flames. Usopp shouts, "FLAME STAR!" Luffy screams as his shirt catches fire, "UWA-HHH-HHH!" Miss Valentine laughs mockingly, "KYAHAHAHA! WHAT A MORON! YOU MISSED AND HIT YOUR OWN FRIEND!" Usopp looks confused and asks, "HUH!? WHERE ARE THE BULLETS?" Mr. 5 is shown blowing into his gun again, "BLOW..."

A massive explosion erupts, engulfing Usopp and Karoo. Mr. 5 shouts, "BREEZE BREATH BOMB!" The blast blows Usopp and Karoo away. Mr. 5 stands amidst the smoke and debris, saying, "AH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU... EVEN MY BREATH CAN EXPLODE."

Usopp lies on the ground, injured and bleeding. He calls out, "DID YOU GET A GRIP YET!? HUFF... HUFF... HEY! HEY, ARE YOU ALRIGHT!? THIS IS INSANE... NO BULLETS...!? DAMMIT...!" Karoo quacks weakly. Luffy stands up, his shirt completely burned away, revealing his bare chest. Nami realizes what happened and says, "YOU MEAN... THAT ATTACK WAS ACTUALLY TO BURN AWAY THE PAINTING ALONG WITH HIS SHIRT!?" Luffy, panting and smoldering, replies, "YEAH, I DID... THANKS FOR THAT. I WON'T LET THOSE PAINTINGS AFFECT ME ANYMORE." A close-up shows Luffy looking incredibly angry. He declares, "HUFF...! HUFF...! I'M NOT GOING TO LET EVEN A SINGLE CREWMATE OF MINE DIE! I'M REAAAALLY PISSED OFF NOW!"
