The Holy Land Mary Geoise

A vibrant color splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy in his straw hat and open shirt, backpack on, excitedly pointing forward while balancing on a tiger-striped creature amid a lush jungle with a massive waterfall. A woman with dark hair in a pink hooded outfit waves beside him. Other figures climb and swing through the trees in the background. Large text reads ONE PIECE CREATED BY EIICHIRO ODA. Credits list cleaners, redrawers, typesetters, translators, and providers. A notice box warns against rehosting and encourages buying official volumes.

Narration boxes explain: 'THE TOP OF THE RED LINE.' 'THE BONDOLA ARRIVES NEAR.' A mermaid-like woman exclaims 'WAH!' as narration continues: 'MERFOLK, WE'VE LEFT THE CLIMATE-CONTROLLED AIRSPACE OF THE BUBBLE. PLEASE MAKE USE OF THESE REINFORCED BUBBLES.' Another box reads: 'LOCATED AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD ITSELF. HERE IS WHERE THE DESCENDANTS OF THE ARCHITECTS OF THIS WORLD LIVE.' The mermaid cries 'WAA AAH!' while others react with 'EEE-'. Narration describes the massive staircase: 'FROM THERE, ITS PASSENGERS ASCEND A VERY LARGE STAIRCASE.' A voice shouts 'SO BIG!' Narration concludes: 'EVENTUALLY ARRIVING AT THE HIGHEST, LARGEST CONTINENT,' as a voice says 'THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS WAY!'

Large title text declares 'MARY GEOISE' and 'THE HOLY LAND'. A massive ornate building dominates the landscape with a long path and distant city. A speech bubble asks: 'WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!' Another wonders: 'IS THAT GREEN THING OVER THERE A "FOREST"I' A box labels 'MARY GEOISE'. Someone replies: 'YES. IT'S MANMADE, THOUGH.' The scene shifts to a moving platform where a voice states: 'IT'S A TRAVELATOR. THE GROUND MOVES.' Shirahoshi reacts with surprise as the platform activates. Voices cry: 'OH! WE'VE STARTED MOVING!' and 'WHOAAAA! OI, IS THIS AN EARTHQUAKEI! I'M GONNA DIE' while another pleads 'PROTECT ME!' Narration instructs: 'PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI AND THE OTHER FISHMEN, PLEASE TAKEHOLD OF THESE HANDLES.'

Shirahoshi clasps her hands together excitedly as the group arrives in the lush, forested area of Mary Geoise. "OF COURSE," one voice answers. "WAAH! I AGREE, BROTHER, PLEASEI" Shirahoshi pleads. "THIS SCENERY IS WONDERFUL! LET'S TAKE OUR TIME," another replies. Fukaboshi suggests, "I'M SURE YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOREST, SHIRAHOSHI. FATHER, SHALL WE WALK THE NORMAL WAYI" "WE SHALL ACCOMPANY YOU, THEN," comes the response. In the next scene, Neptune senses danger: "I FEEL AN UNSETTLING PRESENCE..." A skull-faced traveler remarks, "THEY ARE CALLED TRAVELERS." "THAT'S WHAT I SAID," another confirms. A king in a top hat declares, "THESE TRUBBLEOOTERS ARE QUITE CONVENIENT. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THESE INTO MY KINGDOM, GOA, TOO!" A pumpkin-headed figure sneers, "FRIGHTENING, AREN'T THEYI THE AMENITIES OF CIVILIZATION!" while thinking "STUPID FISH!" Below ground, a massive figure wheezes, "HAA... HAA... WHEEZE... SAVE ME... OR AT LEAST KILL ME..." as workers push a platform: "MOVE THE PATH AT A COMFORTABLE SPEED! SLOWLY, STEADILY..." A guard shouts, "NO BREAKS!" with a sign reading "UNDER-GROUND".

Shirahoshi cries out in panic, "FATHER! FATHER!" as a massive Celestial Dragon on a palanquin passes by in the distance. A sign labels the structure "A CELESTIAL DRAGON PALACE." Shirahoshi gasps, "A BIG ONE!" A close-up shows a sweating face exclaiming, "IZ A MERMAID." A Celestial Dragon on a balcony asks, "WHAT IS IT, CHARLOSSI" The bottom panel reveals the grand entrance to Mariejois: a massive stone gate labeled "FRONT GATE" and "MARIEJOIS, PANGEA CASTLE." A guard commands, "OPEN THE GATES!" as the massive doors begin to swing open with dramatic impact lines.

Inside the castle mingling plaza, a king explains, "WHEN THE SEVEN DAYS OF THE CONFERENCE START, I DOUBT EVEN YOUR RELATIVES WILL HAVE TIME TO BE BORED." Another adds, "FROM TOMORROW," while a third notes, "FROM ALL OVER THE WORLDI!" A large fishman-like king laughs, "SO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ROYALS AND THEIR BODYGUARDSI" with cries of "MAM-BO!" and "SAM-BO!" A sign reads "INSIDE THE CASTLE, MINGLING PLAZA." A grinning king states, "WEAPONS HAVE BEEN CONFISCATED, OF COURSE, BUT..." while a bearded king remarks, "THE FOOD AND DRINK ARE QUITE LUXURIOUS." In the lower panels, a fluffy-haired figure says, "THAT'S A RELIEF," as another observes, "THESE BODYGUARDS SURE DO LOOK STRONG!" and notes, "AND FATHER SEEMS TO BE GETTING ALONG WELL."

A crowd of kings surrounds Shirahoshi. One shouts, "OI, DON'T RUSH THE SALE! I'VE GOT A SON, TOO, Y'KNOW." Another declares, "PAPA! THIS ONE AIN'T BAD. SHE AIN'T BAD." A third says, "MY SON, YOU SEE, IS SINGLE. HOW ABOUT ITI" while another exclaims, "MY, MY! A SEAFLOOR PRINCESS!" and "P-PAPPY! I LIKE THIS GIRL!" A king compliments, "YOUR BREATH-TAKING BEAUTY BELIES EVEN THE RUMORS OF ITS MAGNIFICENCE." Shirahoshi screams, "SHIRAHO-SHII!" as a king grabs her, yelling, "YOU'RE NOT MY TYPE!" Another king insists, "OHOHOHO! I'VE GOT THREE FINE PRINCES IN MY HOUSE!" while pleading, "NO, NO! MERMAID PRINCESS, PLEASE, MY SON..." Shirahoshi stammers, "AH... UM..." In the chaos, a voice warns, "IT'S JUST TO GET THEM OFF YOUR TAIL! IT'S NOT REALLY A LIE." Another panics, "WHAAAAI! I-I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING SOMETHING LIKE LYING..." The narration explains the situation: "IN THIS SORT OF SITUATION, YOU'VE GOT TO SAY THINGS LIKE 'OH, I'M SO FLATTERED!' OR 'LET US GO FOR FOOD SOMETIME, THEN!' TO MOLLIFY THEM! EVEN IF THEY'RE LIES." A sisterly voice adds, "OH, DEAR. WHAT MY SISTER JUST SAID IS ACTUALLY A COMMON PHRASE IN OUR DIALECT, WHICH REALLY MEANS 'I'VE NOT YET MARRIED EITHER,' AND..." A furious figure warns, "IF YOU NEEDLESSLY INSULT THEM, WE'LL HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT ON OUR HANDS-FAMIREDO! LET'S GO OVER THERE."

Vivi beams with sparkling eyes and exclaims, "SO CUTE!" while a small figure reacts with "WAAH!" Rebecca, labeled "LADY-IN-WAITING OF THE DRESSROSA KINGDOM REBECCA," apologizes profusely, "I'M SO SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU," as Vivi holds up a tiny black creature. A voice protests, "THAT'S NOT A VERY NICE THING TO SAY TO A WARRIOR!" Rebecca asks, "ARE YOU OKAY, LEOI" while a cheerful girl labeled "PRINCESS OF THE ALABASTA KINGDOM VIVI (& CARUE)" smiles. Two small figures celebrate, "THEN IT'S OKAY!" Below, a goggled pirate grins and declares, "WE'RE LUFFYLAND'S HENCHMEN! WE'RE PIRATES, YOU SEE!" as another adds, "WE ONLY REVEALED OURSELVES BECAUSE YOU HAD SAID YOU KNOW LUFFY-LAND," with Vivi murmuring, "SO CUTE..."

Vivi continues, "SO THEIR BOUNTIES AND RUMORS FOLLOW THEM AROUND, ONLY WORSENING THEIR REPUTATION, BUT..." Rebecca replies, "YES. THEY DON'T WANT TO BECOME HEROES," and adds, "BUT I GUESS HIM AND HIS CREW REALLY HAVE TRAVELED THE WORLD." Vivi smiles, "I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ABLE TO TALK WITH SO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT LUCY AT REVERIE." A narration box explains Alabasta's history: "HOWEVER, THE GOVERNMENT REPORTED THESE DEEDS AS ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE MARINES. A REBELLION BROKE OUT IN VIVI'S HOMELAND, AND BEHIND IT LURKED THE FORMER SHICHIBUKAI CROCODILE AND HIS EVIL MACHINATIONS. LUFFY AND HIS FRIENDS STOPPED HIM AND SAVED THE COUNTRY." Vivi confirms, "YES, THEY DID!" while a scarred man sweats and stammers. Rebecca notes, "THEY PROBABLY DECIDED TO SAVE SOMEONE ELSE, HUH, I THOUGHT," as Vivi recalls, "YOU KNOW, I HAD A THOUGHT WHEN I READ THE ARTICLE ON WHAT HAPPENED IN DRESSROSA."

Vivi leans in excitedly, "YOU JUST TALKING ABOUT LUFFYI" as Shirahoshi appears in the background with a startled "WAAHH!" and a fish-man yells, "SHIRA-HOSHI!" Rebecca reacts with shock, "HEY! DID YOU JUST SAY 'LUFFY'I" while Vivi questions, "REBECCA! WAIT! WHAT IF YOU JUST MISHEARD HERI!" A panel explains, "THEY WENT TO THE NEW WORLD, AND PIRATE SHIPS HAVE TO GO BY THE FISHMAN ISLAND ROUTE, SO..." Vivi states, "JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM DOESN'T MEAN THEY KNOW HIM!" as another adds, "LUFFY IS A PIRATE! WE CAN'T AFFORD PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT HE'S OUR FRIEND-SIDE!" The two women beam and declare together, "SAME!" with Vivi finishing, "WE ARE INDEBTED TO LUFFY AND HIS FRIENDS, AND..." while Shirahoshi insists, "STOP THAT! EVERYONE KNOWS HIS NAME! I DID! ARE YOU ALL ACQUAINTED WITH HIMI"

A large man labeled "HAPPO NAVY 13TH GENERATION LEADER SAI" reacts with wide eyes and a shout as Rebecca mingles with Shirahoshi. Sai yells, "OI! OVER THERE," and points while demanding, "ISN'T THAT REBECCA FROM DRESSROSAI!" A woman notes, "MY SISTER ISN'T VERY ACCUSTOMED TO MINGLING WITH OTHERS. I'M GLAD THEY'RE HAVING FUN." Sai's ally cries, "SAI!" and "CHINJAO'S GRANDSON! I'M SAI!" as Sai spots someone and reacts, "THAT MAN..." In the next panels Sai laughs, "MAHAHAHA! THIS IS JUST RICH! PRINCESS VIVI!" while addressing a small figure, "HEH, LEMME TELL YOU A THING OR TWO," and asking, "WHY ARE YOU HERE IF YOU'RE A PIRATEI" The figure replies, "OH! BROTHER! SO YOU CAME TOO, EH, LEOI!" and declares, "WITH THIS JOB, I'M GOING TO CUT TIES WITH THE COUNTRY. AS A SECRET BODYGUARD!"

A close-up shows Wapol grinning widely as he declares, "INTERESTING, ISN'T ITI" while another panel captures his loud laughter: "MAHAHA HAHAHA HAHA! YOU IDIOT!" Vivi reacts in shock, shouting, "WAPOLI! WHY ARE YOU HEREI!" In the large central panel Wapol stands proudly in his striped outfit, explaining, "I FLEW, YOU SEE! STRAW HAT LUFFY SENT ME TO SOME FAR CORNER OF THE SEAS!" Kinderella clings to his arm making affectionate sounds "KOSHI KOSHI KOSHI" while holding a small bear-like creature. A smaller panel shows Shirahoshi asking if he is one of Luffy's friends, only for Vivi to reply, "NO. HE'S AN ENEMY, SHIRAHOSHI." Large labels identify Wapol as "KING OF THE BAD BLACK DRUM KINGDOM WAPOL" and Kinderella as "QUEEN CONSORT OF THE BAD BLACK DRUM KINGDOM KINDERELLA." At the bottom, narration boxes recount Wapol's rise: "HOWEVER, WITH THE POWER OF HIS BAKU BAKU NO MI, HE AMASSED GREAT WEALTH... AND NOW SITS AS KING," while a tiny Luffy and Chopper stare up in surprise at the former tyrant.

Wapol continues boasting with hearts floating around him, declaring, "UGGGHHHI! YOUR HUMOR IS UNIVERSE! TAMANOKOSHI KOSHIKOSHI!" and "SO I KNOW HE IS! I'M JUST BEING SARCASTIC! MAHAHA!" Dalton stands sternly in the foreground as Wapol mocks, "HOW'S THAT STUPIDLY SERIOUS KING COBRAI" Dalton retorts, "MAN, THE WORLD GOVERNMENT REALLY IS SLIPPING! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY LET AN IDIOT LIKE YOU BACK INTO THE ALLIANCE!" while Wapol dismisses him with "ENOUGH OF YOUR BORING JIBES." Dalton warns, "I SEE YOU'VE BIRTHED YET ANOTHER DISMAL COUNTRY." In the lower panels Wapol rages that Dr. Kureha isn't listening, and Kureha appears with Dalton, who reacts in shock upon seeing her: "DALTON! THE WITCH GRANNY! SO YOU'RE STILL ALIVEI!"

Wapol yells at Dr. Kureha, "I'D HAVE JACKED UP MY TREATMENT PRICE A LITTLE!" while Dalton greets Vivi warmly: "AH, VIVI, MY DEAR. YOU'RE LOOKING MORE GALLANT THAN EVER." Vivi responds happily, "I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" Dalton also acknowledges Dr. Kureha. Wapol protests, "BESIDES, DALTON IS A WONDERFUL KING!" but Dalton firmly states, "WE NOW STAND ON EQUAL FOOTING!" Wapol explodes, "HOW DARE A SERVANT LIKE YOU TELL ME WHAT IS OR ISN'T 'ENOUGH'I!" and "OI OI OI, DALTON, YOU BASTARD!" In the final panels Dalton warns, "THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE MORE YOU'LL SEE JUST HOW DIRTY THIS WORLD IS!" and "YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO PERFECTLY AND JUSTLY RULE YOUR COUNTRY!" while Wapol sneers, "LISTEN HERE, DALTON, YOU HERO LUNKHEAD!"

Narration boxes provide background: "CURRENTLY 141 YEARS OLD, AND OFTEN CALLED A WITCH, DR. KUREHA IS THE DOCTOR OF THE SAKURA KINGDOM..." and details about Dalton's past as Wapol's servant who became king. Vivi smiles while holding a small child who answers, "KYAA AAAH!" and "YES. A LOT." when asked if they like Luffy. The child adds, "WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN TOGETHER!" Dalton calls out, "HEY, MR. DALTON!" The bottom of the page shifts to Impel Down, where Magellan appears with sea creatures, reacting to news of an assassin: "HAS HE ARRIVEDI THE ASSASSIN." A guard reports, "DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE PROTECTING ME, MAGELLAN!" while another voice notes the lonely solitary cells.

A cloaked figure descends stone steps into a vast, ruined chamber beneath the Holy Land. The figure mutters, "STEP STEP," while a heavy door mechanism activates with "ガコン...!" and "ゴンゴー...". The cloaked person continues, "ヒュオオオ..." and "ブシュー...". In a dim corridor, the figure pulls a lever as "プシュー..." sounds. The scene shifts to a bound prisoner on the floor who laughs, "FUFU FUFU!" while thinking, "They have sent a killer to seal my lips once and for all, have theyI!" A speech bubble adds, "To make sure I don't spill the beans on Mary Geoise's secret treasure TO ANYONE..." The cloaked figure looms over a table bearing a straw hat as massive onomatopoeia "ドン" erupts. Narration questions, "WHY HERE, IN THE HOLY LANDI! WHY HAS THIS BIG MYSTERY BEEN HIDDEN HEREI!" The cloaked figure stares at the hat. Elsewhere, the prisoner grins widely, declaring, "IT ROTS FASTER THAN YOU'D BELIEVE!" and "Honestly, it shouldn't matter if people find out... power has a very short shelf life." The cloaked figure walks away with "FUFUFU FUFUFU!" and "カッチ..." sounds. A sign reads "MARY GEOISE." The final panel shows the cloaked figure walking down a long hall with "STEP STEP" and a close-up of Monkey D. Luffy's wanted poster reading "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE MONKEY D. LUFFY 3,000,000,000-" as "カッチ..." echoes.
