In the ruins, the giant snake Nola rears its head and lets out a massive roar, "GOOOO... O...". Zoro stands his ground, facing the beast with his swords drawn, muttering, "BAH...". To the left, Wiper stands ready with his bazooka. On the right, the giant dog Holy is sleeping peacefully. Ohm, sitting atop Holy, commands, "NO NEED TO HOLD BACK THIS TIME! GO, HOLY!". Holy wakes up and barks, "WOOF!". The snake hisses, "ZE... ZE... TSU LALA...". Zoro, looking annoyed and holding his swords, complains, "THAT STUPID SNAKE FOLLOWED ME ALL THE WAY HERE." A sharp "KIN..." sound effect accompanies his stance.

Wiper aims his bazooka, a "CLICK!" sounding as he prepares to fire. He remains silent. Suddenly, Gan Fall swoops down from the sky, riding his bird companion Pierre. Gan Fall declares, "PIIEH...!! PIERRE, THE TARGET IS OHM!". A "KAH TSA..." sound effect marks their descent. Meanwhile, Luffy is shown trapped inside a dark, fleshy cavern, yelling in frustration, "THIS STUPID CAVE SURE IS WEIRD!!! IF IT DIDN'T COLLAPSE, WHY IS IT ALL UPSIDE DOWN...!!?". Another panel shows Luffy's legs sticking out of a hole in the ruins as he grunts, "...!!". Back at the battle, Wiper fires his bazooka with a massive "ZUDOOOM" explosion, shouting, "I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!". Ohm watches calmly, saying, "ALL OF YOU...".

The giant snake Nola roars "TSU LALALA!!!" as a massive explosion from Wiper's bazooka blasts through the ruins. Wiper is seen mid-air, firing the weapon, while Gan Fall flies above on Pierre, and the giant dog Holy leaps away from the blast. The snake, looking agitated, continues to hiss "TSU LALA LA!!!". A close-up of the snake's face shows its intense gaze as it repeats "TSU LALA LA!!". After the attack, Wiper lands, holding his smoking bazooka. Ohm, sitting calmly on the ground with his sword resting on his shoulder, remarks, "THAT'S A NICE WEAPON!". A "ZAZAZA...!!" sound effect indicates the settling dust.

Zoro charges forward, yelling angrily, "WHAT HAPPENED HERE IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS!! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS...". Wiper glares back at him, retorting, "YOU'VE ONLY BEEN HERE A FEW DAYS... YOU KNOW NOTHING, YOU BLUE SEA PUNK!!! DON'T THINK I'M GONNA LET YOU TAKE THIS LAND!!!". Wiper swings his weapon at Zoro, who blocks the strike with his sword, creating a sharp "SHLICK!!" sound. Zoro declares, "BUT I WAS PLANNING ON ELIMINATING YOU FROM THE BEGINNING! SO LET'S FINISH THIS NOW!". Wiper shouts, "DIE!!!". Ohm, observing the clash, calmly states, "NO, IT'S NOT...". Suddenly, an explosion erupts nearby, causing Zoro to look surprised with a "!!?". The giant snake Nola lunges into the fray, roaring "WHOA!!! TSU LALALA!!!". Zoro, caught off guard by the chaos, remarks, "THIS GUY IS PRETTY GOOD...!!".

Zoro swiftly dodges a massive bite from the giant snake Nola, exhaling a relieved "PHEW!!". The snake hisses "TSUH~~~" as it misses its target. Suddenly, the giant dog Holy stands up on its hind legs, towering over the battlefield with Ohm sitting confidently on its head. Holy growls menacingly, "GRRRR!!!!". Zoro looks up in shock, realizing his mistake, "!! I ALMOST FORGOT THIS THING HAS POISONOUS FANGS!!". Before he can react, Holy lunges at him with its jaws wide open, barking "WAHN!!!". Zoro, caught off guard again, exclaims, "MORE FANGS!!?".

To Zoro's absolute shock, the giant dog Holy throws a powerful punch, sending Zoro flying backward. Zoro yells "WHOA!!!" as he is hit. He thinks to himself, "WHAT THE...!? DID THAT DOG JUST THROW A PUNCH AT ME!?". Sound effects "SHWIP" and "FWOP" accompany the dog's swift martial arts move. Holy then stands tall and disciplined on its hind legs, with Ohm sitting cross-legged on its head. Ohm proudly explains, "I'VE RAISED HIM LIKE NO OTHER ANIMAL! AFTER I TAUGHT HIM HOW TO STAND ON HIS BACK FEET... I GAVE HIM MARTIAL ARTS LESSONS...!! TRY TO DODGE HIS ATTACKS!!!". Ohm continues his introduction, "AND I'M THE 'BREEDER OF THE SKY'!! HIS NAME IS HOLY...". Zoro, recovering from the blow and holding his swords ready, looks at the martial-artist dog in disbelief and mutters, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME."

Ohm suddenly looks up, alerted by something, "!!!". Gan Fall, riding Pierre, dives down from the sky towards him. Gan Fall thrusts his lance, but Ohm swiftly blocks the attack with his sword, creating a spark of impact. Gan Fall, determined, declares, "EVEN SO, I SHAN'T LEAVE UNTIL I DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE IN BEING HERE!!". Ohm smirks, mocking the older warrior, "YOU CAN BARELY HOLD YOUR LANCE RIGHT, OLD MAN... GAN FALL... DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM YOUR DEFEAT AGAINST SHURA...!!?". Ohm's confident smile widens as he adds, "YOU STILL WON'T UNDERSTAND GOD ENEL'S DIVINE INTENTIONS!!!". Gan Fall retorts, "HUH!! EVEN IF I TELL YOU...".

A wide view of the ancient ruins is shown, with the massive giant beanstalk towering in the background, reaching up into the clouds. A loud "DOGOOON" sound echoes through the area. Several "SLAC" sound effects indicate movement or debris falling among the stone structures. The scene shifts to a closer view of a large, ruined step pyramid, overgrown with roots and trees. More "SLAC" sounds are heard. In a lower section of the ruins, a stone block falls to the ground with a "FWOP". Nearby, a dark, rectangular entrance leading deeper into the ruins is revealed, framed by ancient stone walls and thick vines.

A stone block falls to the ground with a "PWOP". From a hole in the ground, two hands reach up. One hand grabs the hilt of a knife embedded in the dirt with a "SWUUP", and pulls it out with a "SHLAC". Nico Robin's face appears from the hole, looking slightly surprised, "!...". She climbs out of the hole, dusting herself off and exhaling a "WHEW...". She looks back down into the dark opening she just emerged from, a "ZWUUSH" sound emanating from it. Placing her hand on the ground near the edge, she deduces, "THERE'S A ROOM BELOW!".

Robin looks around her new surroundings as a "DOSA..." sound is heard. A bird flies past her with a "POH". She walks further into the ruins, her footsteps making a "TAH" sound. She finds herself in a massive, cavernous area filled with ancient stone structures and thick roots. Looking around at the expansive underground space, she remarks, "WHAT A BIG PLACE...". She thinks to herself, "AS I THOUGHT... THERE IS STILL MORE TO THESE RUINS." Robin pieces the clues together, "IT WAS ONLY THE TOP PART OF THE CITY, WHICH MEANS THERE ARE OTHER, LOWER LEVELS. THE RUINS AT THE SURFACE ARE ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG!". She looks closely at the stone ground, realizing, "THESE RUINS COME FROM THE BLUE SEA, YET THE GROUND IS MADE OF CLOUDS... I KNEW THAT WAS ODD...".

Zoro looks shocked, "...!!", then glances around cautiously, "...!?". A "GOJON..." sound rumbles nearby. He suddenly has to dodge as a spiked vine or wire shoots out of the ground. Panting, he says, "HAA... HAA!! PHEW! THAT SNAKE IS REALLY IRRITATING!!! HUH?". He spots something and starts running, calling out, "CHOPPER...!?". Ohm, observing him, comments, "SO, YOU ARE ANOTHER CITIZEN OF THE BLUE SEA! HEY, YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT AROUND THERE.". Zoro ignores him and rushes towards Chopper, who is lying motionless on the ground. "CHOPPER!!! HEY!". As Zoro runs, his foot steps on something with a "TAP!". Suddenly, a spiked wire shoots up from the ground with a "GATIRI!!" sound, slicing into Zoro's leg. Zoro screams in pain, "WAA AAAH!!!!".

Zoro yells in pain and confusion, "WHAT THE HELL!!? BARBED WIRE!!?". Wiper, watching the scene, sweats and wonders, "! IS THAT PART OF THE TRIAL!?". Zoro falls to the ground, clutching his injured leg, "... HUH... WHAT WAS THAT...?". Ohm, sitting calmly on Holy, explains the trap, "THAT IS IRON CLOUD. IT IS LIGHT AS A CLOUD, BUT HARD AND STRONG AS IRON. IT'S MADE FROM MILKY DIALS. THESE IRON CLOUDS ARE HIDDEN IN THE GROUND, AND SHOOT FORTH WHEN STEPPED ON.". Ohm continues, revealing the fate of Zoro's crewmate, "THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT ANIMAL... EVEN THOUGH I DID WOUND HIM A BIT... THIS PLACE IS FULL OF THOSE TRAPS, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY MIGHT BE...".

Ohm looks down at Zoro and mocks him, "PITIFUL!". Zoro is shown kneeling next to the unconscious and battered Chopper. Zoro desperately tries to wake him, "...!! SPEAK TO ME! WHY ARE YOU HERE BY YOURSELF!? CHOPPER! HEY!! CHOPPER!!!". Ohm adds, "BUT IT'S THOSE TRAPS WHICH DID THE REST!". Ohm continues his taunting, "REALLY...? HOW NOBLE! BUT... ARE YOU READY TO AVENGE YOUR FRIEND, NOW?". Zoro slowly stands up, his face shadowed with anger. He replies, "NO... I'M NOT FIGHTING FOR REASONS LIKE THAT...". A close-up of Zoro's face reveals his intense fury as he declares, "RIGHT NOW... I'M JUST A LITTLE PISSED OFF!!".

The scene shifts back to Nico Robin exploring the underground ruins. A "HYUOOO..." sound echoes through the ancient stone corridors, which are heavily overgrown with thick roots and vines. Robin walks cautiously through the desolate passages. She pauses, looking around at the intricate carvings on the walls. Suddenly, she gasps, "AH!!!", as she notices something. She hurries down a set of stone stairs, her heels clicking with a "KALA" sound, panting slightly, "HAA... HAA...". At the end of a dark, narrow tunnel, she spots a faint glow. She walks towards it, wondering, "LIGHT...!?".

A wide shot shows the upper ruins with the giant beanstalk spiraling into the sky. Someone points out, "IT'S THE GIANT BEANSTALK!!". Meanwhile, Nami is driving a waver up a milky path, with Aisa and Pagaya riding behind her. A goat-like Divine Soldier falls past them, bleating, "MEEEH~~!!! GET THE SHANDIANS!!! MEHHH~~~!!". Another voice yells, "YOU MAY NOT GO TO GOD'S SHRINE!!". Nami, struggling to control the waver, asks, "HOLD ON! WHERE EXACTLY ARE WE GOING!?". Aisa, looking terrified, replies, "NO, THEY ARE HOLY GUARDS!! IF WE ARE CAPTURED, WE ARE DEAD!!". Nami, confused by the sounds, asks, "WHAT'S THAT NOISE!? GOATS?".

Back at the battle, the giant snake Nola lets out a massive roar, "GOOOO...". Zoro stands ready with his swords, facing the giant dog Holy, while Wiper is seen in the background. The scene cuts to Nico Robin, who has reached the end of the tunnel. She stands at the entrance of a massive, open cavern. A close-up of Robin shows her looking out in absolute awe. She whispers, "DISAPPEARED FOR 800 YEARS, THE GREAT CITY SHANDORA... AFTER ALL THIS TIME, IT'S INCREDIBLE IT'S STILL INTACT, SO MAGNIFICENT... AND SO IMPOSING...".

A breathtaking, massive double-page spread reveals the full glory of the ancient ruins Robin has discovered. It is a colossal, sprawling city made entirely of stone and gold, centered around a magnificent, towering step pyramid. The city is heavily overgrown with massive roots and vines, showing its immense age, but the grand architecture remains largely intact. The sheer scale of the ruins is awe-inspiring. A text box reads, "SO THIS IS THE GOLDEN CITY, SHANDORA."
