[Insert text: A mysterious half-person on a mysterious island!!]
[Box: The isle of Punk Hazard]
Luffy: Hey, you guys~~~!! Look! / He stuck on to me~~~~~~~~!! // What do you call something like this again, Usopp~~?!
Usopp: You mean... a centaur?
Luffy: YEAH!! I'M A CENTAUR~~~~!!! / Wahahahahah!!
Person: Ugh...!! I got myself stuck onto something again, pfft...
Luffy: Do you give in yet?!! I've just eaten dragon meat, you know!! / I have dragon power now!!
Person: .........
Usopp: The dragon was tasty, sure, but I'm full already!! If you're gonna eat almost all the meat, why don't you carry it yourself?!!

3
Robin: That's not in very good taste. / Luffy.
Luffy: Really? // Hm?
Person: Pffehhh!!!
Usopp: You see?! He's not gonna just become part of you!! What kind of creature would do that?!! / The other half of him must be out there somewhere waiting for him!! You should take him to where he belongs!
Luffy: You just don't know how to dream, do you, Usopp? / This is just how he is! Nothing wrong with that! / Right? What's your name, any-
Person: PFFEHHHH!!!
Zoro: Oi!! You guys, get over here!!
Luffy: Zoro! Did you find him?! The guy who was sliced up by the samurai?!!
Zoro: ......Take a look.
Luffy: Ahh...
Usopp: Whaaaaaa~~~~~?!!

4
Luffy: S... Snowy mountains~~~~~~?!! // There's a huge lake, and on the other side of the island... // It's all snowy... no, ice-covered mountains!!! // How come?!!
Usopp: Meanwhile over on this side, it's boiling hot with active volcanoes!! / What kind of island is this?!!
Robin: Well, that solves one mystery.
Usopp: Oh, right! The guy on the Den-Den Mushi... / He said it was cold...
Flashback!DenDenMushi: It's cold... So cold... // Is that you, Boss...?!!
Usopp: Which means......

5
Usopp: The victims of the murderous samurai... / ...must be on that side of the island......!!!
Luffy: This is a really cool island~~~! There's snow falling on those mountains!! / It's so hot here, I could do with a snow cone!!
Usopp: You'd end up freezing cold if you went over there! / Besides, it's too far! We should head back to the ship!!
Robin: Well, this is a problem. It does look rather cold over there.
Zoro: If there are animals over there, we can skin them for furs... Either way, it'll work out somehow.
Usopp: Like hell it will!! What's wrong with you people?!!!
Luffy: Snow cones~~~~~!!
Usopp: Hm? // ......... // Aghhhhh~~!! Did you see that?! Just now...!!
Luffy: See what?
Usopp: That bird!! No, it was like...a bird and a human!!
Luffy: Huh?
Usopp: Like I said, it was...

6
Franky: ?
Sanji: Haaaahhhh~~~~!!!
Franky: ......... // Huh? // Sanji... / What's got you so excited?
Sanji: *pant*... // *pant*... // ...*pant*... Oh good, you're awake.

7
Nami: If you look around, it's fairly obvious.
Franky: ?!
Chopper: Franky~~~!!! We've been locked up, Franky~~~~~!!!
Franky: What?! Hey... Where are we?!! // Huhh......? Last thing I remember, I was eating that fishy dessert on the deck, and then... / ......?? I can't remember anything else...
Nami: I can only suspect that somebody flooded the ship with sleeping gas... / ...and then abducted us all while we were sleeping.
Sanji: The ship was flooded with gas, that much is for sure... // I'm sorry, you guys. If only I'd noticed what was happening a little sooner...
Chopper: You think they're gonna sell us~~?!! They could be slave traders~~!!

8
Franky: ...Hang on, what about Brook? He was on the Sunny too...
Nami: We don't know. When we woke up, it was just the four of us.
Chopper: If they're trading in humans, maybe they're not interested in skeletons!
Franky: Uh, you're not exactly human yourself.
Sanji: And neither are you!! Oh, forget it!!!
Samurai: Say, friends... Do you enjoy the art of "hanjimono"?
People: ?!!
Samurai: Or "puzzles", as they say in foreign lands!
Nami: Huh? Did someone just talk?
Franky: Well... It sure wasn't one of us...
Chopper: I think the voice came from these things!!

9
Samurai: What do you mean, "things"?!!!
Chopper: Aaahhhhhhhhh!!
Sanji: What the hell...?
Franky: Is it some new kind of Den-Den Mushi?
Chopper: There are eight of them! I can't believe I didn't notice!
Samurai: I am no filthy snail!!! // But it seems to me that you are not evildoers!! // These objects before you are parts of my face!! // Could I perhaps trouble you to reassemble them?!
Franky: His face?? ...Come to think of it, this is a mouth... // And these seem to be eyes...
Chopper: It really turned into a face!!
Samurai: You seem to have left out quite a few pieces!!
Nami: How about this?
Samurai: Completely wrong!!
Sanji: This must be right.
Franky: Ahahah!
Samurai: Are you toying with me?!

10
Franky: There!! This must be right!!!
Chopper: It's a proper human face~~~!!!
Samurai: I get the feeling there's still something a little wrong with my chin and my hair... But no matter!! / You have my thanks!!!
StrawHats: IT'S A TALKING HEAD~~~~~~!!!
Samurai: What kind of timing is that?!!!
Chopper: Why are you even alive?!! Are you an evil spirit?!
Samurai: Even I am unsure of the answer to that question!! I most certainly did not end up this way of my own choice!!! // I was sliced into pieces by an individual of whom I know naught!! / Though I thought my life was ended, I ended up as you see me now!! // To fall at the hands of the enemy and yet live on is great shame for a warrior!!!

11
Samurai: Ideally, I would like to slice open my chest and end my life... / But alas, there remains to me an important task that I must fulfil at all costs!!
Nami: He's so weird. Kind of like Buggy. // By the way, you wouldn't happen to know where we are, would you?
Samurai: ?! // How can you address me so bluntly?! You are a woman, and I a proud warrior! This is not natural!! / A woman's place is to stand demurely in the menfolk's shadow... / ...and speak with reserve and modesty!!!
Nami: ? // You've got a pretty big mouth for a disembodied head!! / That's no way to talk to the people who were kind enough to put you back together!
Samurai: Enough!! V... Violence from a maiden?!! // From what manner of alien land does this woman hail...?!! Such insolence and force of will!! / Yet I must act with graceful understanding. Clearly she is not in right mind. Doubtless because her clothing has been stripped from her...!!
Nami: Excuse me? I haven't been stripped of any clothing!
Samurai: What?!
Nami: This is what I wear!
Samurai: H...How positively obscene!! // Why, you wear nothing but a chest binding!!!

12
Nami: What? // You don't like it?
Samurai: I must say I do!!!
Sanji: You dirty-minded crook...!!
Samurai: It was a trap... // Urghh... // It hur... hur... itches!! / Still, to think... The women of foreign lands wear nothing but a chest binding... How remarkable. / Now, let us get to the heart of the matter! Who are you people?! You said that you were abducted from a ship of some sort...?
Sanji: We're pirates, idiot.
Samurai: ?!! / ......Pirates?!!
Chopper: I'm pretty sure his skull must be cracked... Is he not in pain...?
Samurai: So you are pirates!! / No wonder your ways are barbaric!!! // I detest pirates!! The very thought of them makes me sick to the stomach!!!
StrawHats: !!!
Nami: ?!

13
Samurai: Considering our shared predicament, imprisoned here on this isle of ice... // I had thought that we might work together to escape, but nay!! I will not join hands with pirates!!
Franky: Hmmm? What's all this about an "isle of ice"? / I thought we were on a burning island of fire!
Chopper: Franky's right!! It was a crazy burning island!! Even the sea around it was burning!!
Nami: No, wait a minute... This could make some sense. / You said this is an island of ice, right? But tell me... did you hear the sound of volcanoes erupting at all?!
Samurai: ...I did hear some manner of loud noise from time to time, but I know naught of what you speak. I entered this isle of ice through a sea half-frozen! / Now cease your endless prattle, foul pirate!!
Nami: I knew it... The "winter sky" I saw from the Sunny... It wasn't a mistake!! / That burning island that Luffy and the others set off for... / ...On the other side, it must be an "isle of ice"! Which means we've been taken around to the far side of the island!! // Sadly, I can't say who brought us here, or why, until we get out of this room and find out more...
Sanji: But, Nami-san... The door won't budge...
Franky: Out of the way!! My cola tanks are full to the brim!!
Sanmi: ! / Whoa, whoa, hold on!!
Franky: FRANKY~~~~~~~~~!!

14
Franky: RADICAL BEEEEEEEEAM!!!! // The door's open. Let's leave.
Sanji: I guess that freaky body isn't just for show!!
Chopper: I wish I could fire beams~~~~!
Samurai: ........................!!

15
Sanji: ......... // So what's your plan? // If we weren't pirates... / ...you'd be leaving with us about now, right?
Samurai: Silence!! Leave me be, pirate!
Sanji: Well, you're not gonna escape on your own without a body, are you?
Samurai: !! / What are you doing?!!
Sanji: Isn't that right... // Samurai of the Wano Country!!!
Chopper: Whaaaa?!! // S - Samurai?!! This guy's a samurai~~~?!!
Sanji: Look at his hair. / This topknot is a traditional hairstyle from the Wano Country.
Chopper: Then you mean... He's the terrifying murderer from the Den-Den Mushi?!! // Too scary~~~~~~~~!!!
Voices: I heard some kind of explosion!!! // Hurry up!! It must be the pirates we captured!
Nami: Sanji-kun!! Chopper!! We have to move!! / They're onto us!!

16
Sanji: You want to know why we came here? / We followed a distress signal from the guys you were slicing up... / ...Mister Samurai!!
Chopper: Sanji!! Come on!! Just leave that scary samurai behind!!
Samurai: I would not shamefully take the lives of others without reason!!!
Sanji: ?!
Samurai: I came to this island... / ...in order to rescue my son!!!! // Those who stand in my way... / ...I will slice down without hesitation!!!!
[Bottom text: Next week, One Piece will be taking a break. It will be back in Issue 14.]

17
Chopper: You're taking him with us?! But he's way too dangerous!!
Sanji: I'll take full responsibility!! // A door!!
Kids: Ahh... // Who're they?
StrawHats: Huh??
Sanji: Giant...children??!
Samurai: Younglings?!
Franky: There's nothing but kids everywhere!!! What is this place?!!!
[Insert text: Children, children and more children!]
