One Piece Chapter 1.1, page 4-5: Romance Dawn (Version 1)

In a coastal village, the residents are in a state of panic. A lookout shouts, "IT'S 'CRESCENT MOON GYARI'!!" and "WHAT!?" while another confirms, "THERE'S NO MISTAKE. THAT JOLLY ROGER... IT'S CRESCENT MOON GYARI'S SHIP!!". An elderly man with glasses, a small square mustache, and a topknot—the village headman—looks through binoculars as the villagers crowd around him. They anxiously ask, "WHAT DO WE DO HEADMAN!!" and explain, "HE'S A SCOUNDREL WHOSE NAME IS BECOMING WELL KNOWN RECENTLY" and "IT'S HEADING TOWARDS THIS VILLAGE!!". The headman sweats and says, "...THIS IS A SMALL VILLAGE. IF THIS IS THEIR AIM, I BELIEVE HANDING OVER OUR VALUABLES IS THE SAFEST OPTION, BUT...!". The villagers protest, "BUT...!! HANDING OVER OUR GOODS TO PROTECT THE VILLAGE IS JUST REPEATING HISTORY. IT'S UNBEARABLE TO HAVE TO KEEP GIVING UP OUR MONEY" and "BUT OPPOSING THEM IS TOO RECKLESS...!!".

A young woman with short blonde hair, wearing a dark t-shirt and a plaid skirt, stands up defiantly, holding a sword. She declares, "WE SHOULD FIGHT! WHAT ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT?". A caption introduces her: "NAME: SHIRUKU". The villagers try to hold her back, shouting, "SHIRUKU!!" and "YOU SHUT UP". Shiruku snaps back, "DON'T IGNORE ME!! I'M A CITIZEN OF THIS TOWN TOO!!". The villagers argue, "IF YOU GET INVOLVED, THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG DISASTER!!" and "PLEASE, JUST STAY OUT OF THIS!!" and "WHY DO WE HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO PIRATES!? I'M AGAINST IT!!". The village headman, sweating profusely, tries to restore order: "ANYWAY...! I'LL TRY TALKING WITH THEM. A FEW SHOULD STAY HERE WHILE EVERYONE ELSE TAKES REFUGE IN THE VILLAGE."
