A full-color version of the title page for Chapter 49, "Storm." Nami, wearing a red shirt with a white collar and the letters "wb" on it, sits on the green grass and joyfully hugs a giant white Marine news coo. The seagull has a blue sailor cap with "MARINE" written on it and a blue ribbon tied around its neck. To the right, Luffy's straw hat rests on a red mailbox. Two seagulls fly in the bright blue sky above. Inside the Baratie restaurant, a pirate crew member exclaims in disbelief, "HOW COULD OUR ENTIRE FLEET BE SUNK BY A SINGLE MAN!?" Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and the other cooks listen intently. Gin sits at a table, clutching his head in deep distress and trauma. Head Chef Zeff speaks solemnly, stating, "THAT HAD TO BE... THE WORK OF THE HAWK-EYED MAN, WITHOUT A DOUBT..." The mention of the "Hawk-Eye" sends shockwaves through the restaurant. A large, muscular chef with round sunglasses and a wide mouth (unknown_002) yells out in shock, "H... HAWK-EYED MAN!?" while another chef with a striped beanie and sunglasses (unknown_003) looks on. Zeff explains, "BUT THE FACT THAT HE SUNK YOUR ENTIRE FLEET, IS MORE THAN ENOUGH PROOF THAT IT REALLY WAS HIM...! YOU SAYING THAT YOU WITNESSED A MAN, WHOSE GLARE WAS AS SHARP AS THAT OF A HAWK DOESN'T NECESSARILY PROVE IT WAS HIM." Usopp sweatdrops and stammers, "H... HAWK-EYED...!?" while Luffy simply asks, "WHO'S THAT?" and Usopp replies, "BEATS ME." Zoro reveals his personal connection, stating, "HE'S THE MAN I'M SEARCHING FOR..." which surprises Luffy. Usopp recalls, "ACCORDING TO WHAT JOHNNY SAID..." but is interrupted by the other Baratie cooks who laugh and reminisce about a different person: "HAWK-EYED MAN, HUH... IF IT'S THE RED-EYED MAN, I REMEMBER HIM COMING TO THIS SHOP BEFORE." "RIGHT, YOU MEAN THAT GUY WHO GOT SO PISS-DRUNK FROM WINE THAT HIS EYES TURNED RED." "YEAH, THAT IDIOT WHO CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BLEW UP." "HEH HEH, THAT WAS QUITE A SIGHT." Zoro gets annoyed and yells, "THAT IDIOT GOT HIS INFORMATION MIXED UP! EVEN THAT 'HAWK-EYED MAN' YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HAS BEEN SIGHTED THERE ONCE BEFORE." Luffy asks, "HM? WHAT ABOUT JOHNNY?" but Zoro dismisses it, saying, "NO, NEVER MIND." Gin questions the motive behind the attack, asking, "DID HE BEAR SOME ILL GRUDGE AGAINST YOU GUYS, FOR HIM TO DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE FLEET LIKE THAT...? I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING LIKE THAT! HE JUST ATTACKED US ALL OF A SUDDEN!" Zeff calmly suggests, "PERHAPS YOU DISTURBED HIS AFTERNOON NAP..." which infuriates Gin, who screams, "THAT'S BULLSHIT! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME HE DESTROYED OUR ENTIRE FLEET FOR THAT!?" Zeff replies, "NO NEED TO GET IRRITATED, IT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE. THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF PLACE GRAND LINE IS." Zoro smiles and remarks, "A PLACE WHERE EVEN THE ABNORMAL IS NORMAL, HUH." Luffy gets incredibly excited, shouting, "HEE HEE! THAT SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A THRILL! WE DEFINITELY GOTTA GO THERE!" while Usopp panics and yells, "COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY TO THINK OF THE DANGER!?" Zoro rests his hand on his swords, saying, "BUT WITH THIS IT LOOKS LIKE MY OWN GOAL, IS INEXTRICABLY TIED WITH GRAND LINE, CONSIDERING THAT 'THAT MAN' IS THERE AS WELL!" Sanji, smoking a cigarette, mutters, "...BUNCH OF IDIOTS. YOU LOT ARE THE TYPE TO RUSH TO THEIR DEATHS." Zoro retorts, "TRUE, BUT I'D RATHER HAVE YOU LEAVE OUT THE 'IDIOT' PART..." before declaring with absolute resolve, "EVER SINCE I'VE DECIDED TO BECOME THE WORLD'S GREATEST SWORDSMAN, I THREW AWAY MY ATTACHMENT TO LIFE. THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO CALL ME AN IDIOT IS ME ALONE." Luffy cheers, "OOH! ME TOO!" and Usopp boasts, "AS A REAL MAN, THE SAME GOES FOR ME TOO." Zoro immediately hits Usopp on the head with his sword hilt, calling him a "LIAR." Sanji scoffs, "...PSH, WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP." Suddenly, the muscular chef with sunglasses (unknown_002) bursts in and angrily interrupts them, shouting, "HEY, RETARDS! HAVEN'T YOU REALIZED THE SITUATION WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW!? THE GIGANTIC GALLEON THAT'S PARKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR RESTAURANT, BELONGS TO THE PIRATE FLEET ADMIRAL DON KRIEG! THE SHIP OF THE STRONGEST PIRATE IN ALL OF EAST BLUE! YOU GOT THAT!? SO YOU CAN CONTINUE YOUR LITTLE CONVERSATION AFTER WE'VE GOTTEN OURSELVES OUT OF THIS MESS!" Later page summaries: Inside the Baratie, everyone is thrown into absolute shock and confusion by the sudden destruction outside. The cooks scream, "WHA...!!?" Luffy yells, "WHAT!?" while Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji stare with wide, disbelieving eyes. The muscular chef (unknown_002) screams, "WHAT WAS THAT JUST NOW!?" as Zeff looks on in sweat-inducing shock. On the ruined galleon, Krieg's pirates scream in terror, "DON KRIEG! OUR SHIP...! AGHHH!" as the vessel splits apart. Don Krieg himself is completely stunned, sweating as he looks at the destruction. A pirate screams, "OUR SHIP'S BEEN CUT!" Krieg yells back in disbelief, "CUT!? THE HELL DO YOU MEAN CUT!? HOW CAN A HUGE GALLEON LIKE THIS BE CUT!?" as the massive ship collapses into the sea, with pirates crying, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE...!" Zoro suddenly realizes a grave danger, shouting, "CRAP! OUR SHIP WAS OUTSIDE TOO, WITH NAMI, YOSAKU AND JOHNNY STILL INSIDE!" Usopp panics, "IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE ALREADY!" Zeff orders his crew, "RAISE THE ANCHOR! OR THIS SHIP'S GONNA GET DRAGGED UNDER!" Suddenly, Johnny and Yosaku splash out of the water, crying, "BROTHER ZORO!!!" "BRO!" Zoro runs to the edge and asks frantically, "YOSAKU! JOHNNY! YOU ALRIGHT? THE SHIP! WHERE'S OUR SHIP!? WHAT HAPPENED TO NAMI!?" Johnny and Yosaku cry in shame, replying, "ABOUT THAT... WE'RE SORRY, BRO...! SHE'S NOT HERE ANYMORE!" Johnny and Yosaku tearfully explain, "SISTER NAMI...! TOOK THE TREASURE AND SAILED AWAY!" A flashback shows Nami winking and waving goodbye on the Going Merry, saying, "WELL, SEE YA THEN! TELL THE OTHERS THAT IF WE'RE TRULY LINKED BY FATE, WE'LL MEET AGAIN!" Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp scream in absolute, jaw-dropping shock, "WHA!?" and "WHAAAT!?" Meanwhile, Zeff looks out at the sea, sweating as he mutters, "TH... THAT MAN IS...!"
