The page displays the chapter title in bold: Chapter 472: "DOWN". Below it is a large, detailed illustration set against ancient stone walls covered in intricate carvings, symbols, and murals. In the center stands a tall, muscular figure viewed from behind, wearing a long skirt-like garment, armbands, and a cloth belt, with four large drums mounted on his back and gripping a long staff. Surrounding him are various smaller figures: winged individuals in ornate headdresses, helmeted characters on a raised platform, horned figures in the foreground, and floating circular objects. At the bottom, a narration box reads: ENEL'S GREAT SPACE MISSION VOL. 36: "THE CITY ON THE MOON IS ALSO NAMED 'BIRKA'. LACKING NATURAL RESOURCES, THEY FLEW TO THE BLUE PLANET."

A massive horned skull monster with stitched skin and sharp teeth looms over a rocky battlefield as debris flies. Luffy, wearing a fur-collared jacket marked with a large 7, swings a massive weapon while shouting. Nearby, Robin stands with her back to the viewer, Sanji and Zoro watch from the rubble, and Franky appears on the right. Speech bubbles show: "SE... SEND HIM FLYING!I HE'S FREAKING GIGANTIC!" "I SEE... THAT WOULD BE GREAT." "HOW ABOUT WE SEND THIS GUY FLYINGI" "I'VE GOT AN IDEA..." A large SFX "ばっっっっ!!" erupts as the monster roars "YOU'RE PRETTY STRONG, TINY PIRATES! SHISHISHISHI!!!" amid swirling clouds and impact lines.

Multiple close-up panels show the crew reacting. A scarred man with a topknot says "HOW TO TAKE HIM DOWN... I'VE GOT TONS OF IDEAS...!!" Robin replies "BUT HE'S NOT REALLY SUITED TO BE THE PIRATE KING." Usopp notes "SEEING HIM MOVE LIKE LUFFY WITH THAT HUGE BODY WAS A SURPRISE." Chopper cries "I'M SUPER SCARED." Sanji suggests "TO CATCH A BIG FISH, YOU USUALLY WOULD WEAKEN IT SLOWLY." Zoro adds "HE MUST HAVE SOME WEAK POINT." In the large bottom panel Luffy stretches his arm shouting "GOMU GOMU- I'LL CRUSH YOU!" as he leaps toward the monster amid falling rubble and "ズォン" SFX.

Luffy delivers a powerful "BUTT STOMP" attack, his stretched leg smashing down with skulls on his pants as the giant monster's head cracks open. SFX "ヒスィーン...!!!" and "HO!!!" fill the air. The monster yells "WHAT KIND OF ATTACK IS THAT!I" while crew members shout "YOU GUYS!! 'TACTICS FIFTEEN'!!!" "DAMN YOU, STRAWHAT...!!! HAVE A TASTE OF OUR COMBINED STRENGTH!!!" "EHI THATI WE'RE USING THAT!I" and "NUU...!!!" as the monster is sent flying amid explosions, debris, and motion lines.

Amid the chaos of the massive robot assembly, panicked voices ring out as the crew struggles to complete the docking sequence. "WHATI" "HMI" "WHAI" "SUPPORT MY LEGS!!!" "ZORO!! SWIRLY GUY!! STANDBY!!" someone shouts. Franky towers in his incomplete giant robot form, one arm still missing. "WAIT A SECOND, FRANKY!! THE LEFT ARM ISN'T DOCKED YET!! WHAT!!I" Usopp yells in alarm. "GIANT ROBOT WARRIOR!!!" "PIRATES DOCKING 6"!!! the robot declares. Robin is seen clinging to the left arm mechanism. "HEY!! NICO ROBIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!I DOCK WITH THE LEFT ARM!!" a voice calls. "HURRY!" "COME ON, ROBIN!! DO IT JUST LIKE ME!!" another urges. Below, the massive robot is labeled "BIG EMPEROR" as it stands tall with crew members scrambling around its feet.

The giant robot suddenly halts with a massive impact "ガーン!!!" Franky and another crew member stare in shock. "!!I" A close-up shows Nico Robin's face as she speaks softly: "AS A PERSON, I'M EMBARRASSED." The robot's monstrous face looms with "S2-900" markings. "WHY DID YOU STOPII" "WHY IS HE SHOCKED, TOO!!I" voices cry. The scene shifts to debris flying as the robot crashes. "I WAS GETTING ALL EXCITED!!!" someone yells. "COME ON!!!" "DOCKING!!!" "GYAAAAA" "DUH" "BUH" sound effects explode across the collapsing structure.

In the aftermath of the failed docking, frustration erupts. "HOW DUMB! WHY DID I LET THEM DO THATI" "NO... LET'S JUST FORGET IT..." "UGH!!!" a voice groans amid flying debris. Robin stands firm, declaring "NEVER MENTION 'DOCKING' AGAIN." Pleas echo: "PLEASE..." "LUFFY WOULD'VE DONE IT..." "I NEVER SAW THIS BETRAYAL COMING!!" "IF ONLY YOU WERE THERE, ROBIN!! WE COULD'VE BECOME THE ROBOT WARRIOR, BIG EMPEROR!!" The giant robot arm swings violently, striking with "GONK" as Luffy is sent flying. "AND GO SAVE NAMI AGAIN!!" "YOU BASTARD!! I HAVE TO FINISH THIS QUICKLY" a voice shouts.

The battle rages on with the giant robot arm thrashing. "THAT'S THE WAY, YOU BASTARD!!!" "UOO!!!" crew members cheer amid explosions and impacts "ギャコココ" "ガン!!!" "ガバン!!!" A massive furry beast-like form lunges forward. "WAS THAT YOUI" it growls as Luffy dodges with "...!!!" and "ドドドドド" effects. Elsewhere, a swordsman readies his blades. "AH!! MY HEAVY NUNCHAKU!!" "TAKE IT!!!" "FRANKY!! I'M BORROWING THIS!!!" he yells while drawing swords amid "ドス!!" "ドス!!" strikes and motion lines.

Robin confirms with a calm "GOT IT." Usopp and another fighter rush in, calling "YOU LOCK HIS JOINTS!! ROBIN!! I'LL GET HIS LEFT ARM." A massive splash erupts as the giant stitched monster thrashes. Usopp fires from below, yelling "TAKE THIS! HISSATSU, 'SPECIAL OIL STAR' TRIPLE SHOT!!!" The oily projectiles strike with repeated "Luu Luu" impacts. The towering horned beast reels, roaring "UWAA!!" while its massive hand slips with a "SLIP" sound. It grunts "HMP" as the small fighters scramble across the rocky terrain beneath its feet.

Luffy launches a powerful aerial strike, shouting "ARMEE DE L'AIR" and "POWER SHOT!!!" Sanji leaps in, yelling "DON'T BOTHER IF IT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK." and "HEY, GIVE ME A BOOST!!!" while questioning the giant's actions. The monster counters with a massive "GEKKEN" swing that sends debris flying. A swordsman below readies his blade as the beast roars "WO!!!" and another voice grunts "DAI"... The giant's stitched face twists in fury amid the explosions and impact lines.

The giant smashes through a large tree with a heavy "GULP" impact, scattering leaves and debris. Robin watches from the side, noting "CIEN FLEUR." and "BIG TREE." as the monster tumbles, its hand groping with a "GRO" while voices cry "HE'S FALLING!!" and "WAH!! LOOK OUT!! HE'S FALLING!" Chopper appears below, shouting "YEAH!!" and "FRANKY~ 'SKY WALK'!!!" Franky launches upward as the crumbling midair stair building collapses around the giant's flailing limbs.

Luffy delivers a direct punch with "FRAPPER" while the giant counters with a massive swing. The beast's fist connects with a resounding "GONG!!!" as Luffy is sent flying. Voices shout "YOU MONSTER LUFFY!!!" and "HE'S ONLY ONE LEG SUPPORTING HIM." The giant's jaw takes a hit, its head shaking violently. It realizes "NO MATTER HOW BIG YOU ARE, THE HUMAN BODY'S WEAK POINTS DON'T CHANGE!!" and reacts with shock "OH" and "!!!" as the impact rattles its skull.

A massive explosion rocks the battlefield as a colossal stitched giant crashes through stone and steel. The monster reels from a devastating blow, debris flying everywhere. Sanji appears in close-up, cigarette in mouth, declaring "ANTI-MANNER!!!" before unleashing a powerful spinning kick labeled "KICK COURSE!!!" The giant's face twists in shock with a close-up eye reacting "EH!I" Below, Sanji smirks with a thumbs-up as comrades shout "ONE DOWN.", "ALL RIGHT! GO!!", and "GET DOWN, YOU MONSTER!!" The giant roars "UOA GAAA!!!" amid the rubble.

Smoke rises from the ruined mansion as onlookers react in horror. A voice wonders "IT... IT COULDN'T BE SOMEONE KNOCKING HIM DOWN..." while another yells "UOO!! THE MANSION'S GETTING TOTALLY DESTROYED!!" and questions the giant's acrobatics. The giant, Oars, clutches his head groaning "OW, OW, OW...!!!!" before glaring furiously in close-up, shouting "NOW YOU'VE GOT ME MAD! I'LL SEND YOU FLYING!!!" and "YOU BASTARDS!!!" as the battle rages on.

Inside a wrecked room, Lola stands with a smaller figure and says "LET ME TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THE ISLAND." The smaller one replies "I'LL BE FINE, NAMIZOU. YOU GO ON AHEAD." and "LOLA." Nami appears in profile, sweating and gasping "HAA HAA" while discussing Luffy's shadow implanted in a giant zombie rampaging outside. She later beams excitedly "HERE IT IS!! AND IT'S UNLOCKED!!" and "I'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH THAT I CAN'T JUST GO BACK EMPTY-HANDED." as she enters a dark corridor with floating debris.

Nami stands in a grand hall hearing "EH!I" and a large sound effect "キィィィィィ..." as something stirs. Outside, workers load treasure onto a ship while shouting "GET THE TREASURE LOADED QUICKLY, TOO! DON'T LEAVE ANY BEHIND!!", "THERE'S A SUPPLY ROOM, ISN'T THEREI", "LADY PERONA, THE FREEZER IS ALREADY FULL.", and "GET THAT STUFF LOADED!! HURRY!!" Nami clutches her face nervously, declaring "I'M NOT STAYING IF MY LIFE IS REALLY IN DANGER. I MEAN, I WAS ONLY HERE WITH MORIA FOR FUN!" while Lola watches from a balcony.

In a ruined area, small figures point upward in alarm. "WHAT'S THATI YOU!! YOU'RE NOT A ZOMBIEI" one shouts while another reacts with "HMI" as a massive silhouette looms. Elsewhere, voices urge escape: "YES!! QUICKLY, YOU GUYS!! WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE WITHOUT DELAY!!" A lone figure on stairs mutters "HOW BLUNT...!!" while another notes "A BEAR, HUH..." Two rabbit-like men confront the towering bear-featured stranger, demanding "YOU BEAR-LOOKING BASTARDI WHAT ARE YOU DOING HEREI" The large man, wearing a spotted hat and gripping a massive Bible, answers calmly, "I'M HERE TO SEE MORIA." A voice questions from off-panel, "IS HE HEREI"
