The One Piece title logo appears at the top. Below it reads CHAPTER 356: "TOM". A large illustration shows Nico Robin seated casually on a dark rock formation in a sunny, tree-lined area. She wears a sleeveless top, light pants, sandals, and carries a cylindrical case on her back. Beside her stands a tall, anthropomorphic bird wearing a "TAXI" cap and a collar, holding a wooden sign that reads "Wait until the noon." The bird has its beak open wide as if speaking or calling out. At the bottom the artist's credit reads Eiichiro Oda.

Voices cry "DON'T STOP MOVING!!", "MY DAD'S STILL ON THE SHIP!!", and "GET AWAY FROM THE HARBOR-----!!!" Ships burn and people flee the chaos.
Panic spreads on the docks. A man yells "YOUR HONOR!! PLEASE HURRY!! THE SHIP WON'T HOLD TOGETHER MUCH LONGER!" while another shouts "LOOK OUT~~~!!!" and "THE MAST IS FALLING-----!!!" with "CREAK" effects. A large panel reveals several Battle Franky ships advancing, marked B.F. 1 through B.F. 3. Someone exclaims "THAT FLEET……!!!" Below, Spandam declares "ACCORDING TO SPANDAM, THIS IS A SACRIFICE FOR JUSTICE!!!" A crew member responds "GOOD!! GO BACK TO SCRAP ISLAND. THE SHIHOUSEN HAS ALREADY SUNK."

THIS IS A HARPOON I MADE...!!" and "I'M SORRY!!! TOM...!!!" while laughing "TAHA...!!...!!..." In the distance, townspeople react: "THEY'RE GUYS FROM TOWN!!!"

FROM NOW ON, IT WILL BE THE PROSPERITY OF WATER SEVEN." A voice adds, "FIRST OF ALL... ON THE MATTER OF THE 'SEA TRAIN'..." An elderly judge-like figure with a long beard speaks solemnly: "WE HAD ALMOST DECIDED TO PARDON YOU... WITHOUT A DOUBT, IT HAS MADE A PROFOUND CONTRIBUTION. HAVING TAKEN THAT INTO ACCOUNT... REGARDING THE PREVIOUS CHARGE OF BUILDING GOLD ROGER'S PIRATE SHIP, BUT..." A battered Spandam kneels and pleads, "IT WAS THAT LOW-LIFE OVER THERE, SPANDAM!!!
