Large sound effects "どっ」 and "しゅっ!!」 explode across the sky above ancient ruins. A tall warrior with a massive weapon on his back stands on a cloud platform. Below, close-up panels show a sweating man with short hair thinking "WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY...I" A young woman with a wing-like ear accessory pants "HUFF HUFF". Wiper the Warrior glares with intense eyes as a voice commands "TO STOP RESISTING...". Another panel shows a calm long-haired man saying "I told you already, did I not, Wiper the Warrior...I" while Wiper reacts with shock "ハッ".
Wiper coughs violently "ハック……!! COUGH!" while being struck, blood and impact lines visible. A close-up shows his muscular torso taking heavy damage. In smaller panels a voice warns "Don't you dare...!" and taunts "How pitiful you are, Wiper the Warrior..." as Wiper gasps "HUFF...". The long-haired man smiles and says "SeeI". The final panel shows Wiper's furious close-up face as he roars "CALL MY NAME LIGHTLY!" with sweat and rage lines.

Ruined stone buildings of Shandora lie in ruins beneath swirling clouds. Narration reads, "800 years ago... The proud warriors of Shandora... Valiantly fought to protect this city... And we are their descendants." A massive, ancient weapon shaped like a coiled serpent looms over the battlefield. In close-up, Wyper sweats heavily while gripping the weapon's controls. He declares, "I, like the generations before me for 400 years...! Set this place as my lone objective...! Having inherited the blood and will of the great warrior Kalgara, in whose time our lands were suddenly stolen..." His face tightens with resolve as the weapon activates. In the final panel Wyper glares forward and shouts, "AND AT LAST, I'VE FINALLY REACHED IT!"

A towering, shirtless warrior with wild hair and tribal tattoos stands amid debris and growls, "BUT YOU'RE IN MY WAY!" Massive impact SFX erupt as the giant serpent weapon smashes forward. Nami is hurled backward through the air, her body twisting from the force. Smaller panels show the weapon shattering stone and sending shockwaves. Nami crashes into rubble with a pained "UGH!" and "AGH-" as debris flies around her. The attacker presses the assault relentlessly.

Wyper grips his massive reject dial and fires, the impact marked "DUN!! DUN!!" Narration and dialogue note, "Using a reject dial even once is a suicidal move for a normal person. It's very impressive you can still stand after using it twice....Unfortunately, you couldn't have picked a worse opponent. I really felt that last hit of yours, Wiper. That was some stupid trick you came up with, using a seastone like that..." In the sky a colossal thunderbird of lightning forms as Wyper yells "HINO! (THUNDER BIRD)" and the dial reads "30 MILLION VOLTS..." Nami stares upward in shock, exclaiming, "The drum transformed into a bird...!I"

Lightning explodes outward in a blinding blast. Wyper is hurled through the air, body scorched and smoking from the 30-million-volt strike. Enormous Japanese SFX "ゴロゴロゴロゴロゴロ...!!!" shake the page as the thunderbird attack engulfs the battlefield. Nami watches from a side panel, eyes wide with horror at the overwhelming power. Wyper's weapon spins away amid the raging electrical storm.

A cloaked figure dashes forward with a cry of "DASH!" as a massive impact erupts. "DUN! DUN!" rings out while a Shandia warrior with a staff confronts an opponent, declaring, "You too, swordsman of the blue seasI" The warrior presses, "OR DIE, AIN'T IT!I" A voice replies, "WELL, IT'S TRY..." Explosions and smoke fill the panels as "ドサッ...!!" and "ドドド..." echo. A massive wolf-like beast materializes with the label "KITEN! (THUNDER BEAST)" as it lunges forward with claws extended, striking down a figure amid motion lines and debris.

The Thunder Beast strikes with devastating force, sending shockwaves and debris flying. A spiky-haired swordsman grits his teeth as "ビキ ビキ..." cracks appear. "AGHH!" erupts with a massive impact "ドドドドドド...!!" The beast is repelled momentarily. Nami screams "ZOROOOO!!!" and "GA AHHH!" as impacts "バリバリ カラカラ...!!" shake the ground. Zoro is hurled back with "UGH!" blood and sweat flying from the brutal exchange.

A large "ドサッ...!!" sound effect marks the fall. Nami stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the ruined battlefield as Zoro and another fighter lie defeated. "SLUMP!" A close-up shows Zoro's battered face. Nami whispers in shock, "Even Zoro was... It can't be..." Her eyes widen further as she realizes, "EVERYONE WAS BEATEN....!" A massive armored leg steps into frame with "SHIVER!" and motion lines, towering over the scene.

The Shandia Chief stands tall with his distinctive headpiece, facing a tall armored warrior. He asks calmly, "So why do you prolong your painI Is there a point in holding out one moment longerI" The warrior replies, "You will die regardless, so you may as well pass in peace." The Chief continues, "Why do you standI And soon enough, this whole country will plummet into the blue seas... But now, you are the only warrior to have reached this place." Nami watches tensely from the side. The Chief presses, "So why do you still standI Your continued presence is only an unpleasant eyesore for me." The warrior answers, "Fought for 400 years to regain your homeland... You said your people."

A towering, muscular warrior with tribal tattoos and a fierce glare raises his arms and roars, "FOR MY ANCESTORS!" Energy and impact lines explode around him. Below, a close-up reveals a masked face with narrowed eyes asking, "WHY... IS HE GOING TO SUCH LENGTHS TO RESIST...I" In a village of conical huts, a voice calls out, "COME HERE, WIPER." A small figure in the distance reacts with "WHAT IS ITI" A short-haired girl stands nearby as an unseen speaker says, "...I was expecting a better answer than that," followed by "But I see you're barely conscious."

A bandaged young man with a stern expression listens as voices explain, "Yes... And it was this which became his greatest regret..." and "Another reason...I" An elder in striped clothing continues, "Had another reason. Your distant ancestor... The great warrior Kal gara." A small creature adds, "Why he tried to recover our homelands." The elder leans forward and declares, "THE GREAT WARRIOR KALGARA HAD... LISTEN CAREFULLY." Sweat drips down the young man's tense face as he stares upward in shock, while the warrior from before stands ready amid dramatic speed lines.

Massive impact erupts as the warrior unleashes a devastating strike labeled "EL THOR! (JUDGMENT OF GOD)" with enormous kanji and explosive force. A figure is blasted backward with "!!!I" In the aftermath, the warrior lies sprawled amid clouds and debris as multiple "オオオ..." sound effects and "AHH!" ring out. The short-haired girl is thrown to the ground, clutching her head in pain amid swirling dust and impact lines.

A wide view of the ruined ancient city on the clouds shows lingering "オオオオオ... オオ..." echoes. The short-haired girl stares in shock with "!!!" as two small figures nearby react with "!!!I" A voice states, "The only one remaining... is you." Nearby, Zoro and Robin lie motionless on the ground. The girl sits up, gripping a staff as footsteps approach with "バタ... バタ..." and a large figure's legs enter the frame.

A young woman with a ponytail stares upward in terror, sweat pouring down her face as she gulps audibly. Beside her, a stern man with a headband and long hair watches silently. The scene shifts to devastation: a massive serpent-like creature coils through ruined stone buildings while figures lie motionless on the ground amid swirling clouds and debris. The man, eyes narrowed, pleads desperately, "I...... Take me with you...!...Please!" The woman hesitates, replying softly, "I...... Umm... Uhh......"

The young woman smiles brightly despite her injuries and sweat, declaring, "To your dream world with you. I'm fine with going! Is that alrightI" The headbanded man reacts with a sharp glance. In the ruined city below, the massive serpent rears up as the man laughs, "Yahahaha... Very well, come. It is hard to suffer stubborn fools who refuse to let terror sway their hearts. That is how it should be." The woman responds eagerly, "R...Right! Y-you're exactly right!"

A wide view shows the coast of Angel Island with trees and clouds. The young woman leans forward excitedly, spotting the island and exclaiming, "Angel Island! There it is!" A large panel reveals the island's streets labeled "Angel Island, Lovely Street," with narration stating that Pagaya and his daughter, along with the former god Gan Fall, are at large as unforgivable blasphemers.

At the Angel Island dock, a man with a star emblem on his chest shouts orders: "Please report to me, Cpt. McKinley at once! If you spot the criminals..." Below, White Berets stand at attention as their captain declares, "We the White Berets swear to protect the peace of Skypiea! In the name of our god, Enel, I repeat, report to Cpt. McKinley on the criminals' whereabouts!" In a dramatic close-up, a tall figure in a turban and cape strikes a pose with arms raised, yelling "HESO!" as "FWIP!" and impact effects burst around him while soldiers react in shock.
