00AI-written

The title page features a vibrant color spread of the Straw Hat Pirates enjoying a picnic under falling cherry blossoms. Luffy is enthusiastically painting calligraphy on a long scroll with a large brush, getting black ink all over his face and clothes. Usopp sits beside him, drinking tea from a small bowl. Robin sits peacefully on a rock in the background, reading a yellow book. Zoro is seated on a red mat, playing a traditional koto. Nami, wearing a beautiful blue floral kimono, kneels gracefully and pours tea from a teapot. Sanji is seen dancing joyfully in the background behind Nami. Chopper lies on his back on a green cushion, completely relaxed or asleep with a teacup resting on his belly. Two elegant peacocks stand in the background near a small bridge and a waterfall. The chapter title "Chapter 269: CONCERTO" is written at the bottom.

A single panel shows Nami riding her Waver through the white sea clouds. She looks determined and focused as she grips the handlebars, speeding forward through the thick clouds.

Nami

A map in the top right corner marks an "X" on the "Northeast shore, upper yard". The scene opens on a quiet forest shore where the Going Merry is docked. Off-screen voices discuss the situation: "Where they planned to meet?" "Is it really here..." "Tell me, Conis...". Conis replies, "Yes, father." Pagaya adds, "That is what Miss Nami said." On the ship, Pagaya looks worried, saying, "We are kind of in a bind, being forced to do this for them..." and "We need to guard their ship with our lives until they return...!!". Conis, holding the cloud fox Su, suggests, "Shall we use the horn to blow away our fears?". Pagaya enthusiastically replies, "Yes, father! That's a good idea!!" (despite being the father himself).

ConisPagayaSu

A dial-powered horn is set up on the deck of the Going Merry, blaring cheerful music with the sound effect "PARARIRA PARAPAPA~♪". Pagaya smiles and says, "Perfect!". Inside the ship's cabin, Conis is tending to the heavily bandaged and unconscious bodies of Sanji and Usopp. She asks her cloud fox, "Sue! Will you guard that side?". Su barks, "Suu!". Conis clenches her fists with determination, saying, "Alright! As for me, I'll take care of you!! Hang in there!!!". Outside, Pagaya stands guard, listening to the music. He looks concerned, thinking, "... I hope everyone is safe... Skypiea is a dangerous place right now...". Suddenly, a massive explosion erupts at the base of the giant beanstalk in the distance, sending shockwaves through the roots with a loud "BOOOOM".

A massive explosion of dust and debris blasts out from the thick roots of the giant beanstalk, throwing a figure backward. Wiper, using his waver skates, speeds along the massive roots, looking up with fierce determination. He yells, "To God's Shrine!!! Don't let them get there!!!". Other Shandia warriors charge forward alongside him. One warrior shouts, "The time to take Enel's head... Is now!!!". Another warrior yells a battle cry, "MEEEH~~~!!!", as they all rush towards their goal.

Wiper continues his high-speed ascent up the massive roots, shouting, "To the giant beanstalk~~~!!!". Behind him, two Shandia warriors are struck down by attacks and fall from the path. Nico Robin is seen running along the roots, looking back with concern. She thinks, "Wiper... Don't use Reject anymore!!! And don't challenge Enel further...". Meanwhile, a group of Holy Guards intercepts the Shandia advance. One of the guards commands, "Holy Guards, return!!! We must stop the Shandians~~~!!!". The guards slide down the roots, weapons drawn, ready to clash with the approaching warriors.

The battle intensifies as a Holy Guard swings an axe at a Shandia warrior. High above the chaos, the giant beanstalk stretches up into the clouds. Enel is shown lounging comfortably, a sinister smile on his face. He laughs, "Climb up to the upper level and destroy each other. YAHA HA HA!!! That's great!". Down in the ruins, the giant snake Nola slithers through the ancient stone structures. Massive explosions rock the area, sending debris flying. Enel's voice echoes over the destruction: "God's prophecies always come true!!".

Ohm swings his sword, which extends and bends like a whip, slicing through the air. Gan Fall, riding on Pierre, narrowly dodges the attack. Gan Fall yells, "Stop it, Wiper!! I'm not...". Ohm retracts his sword with a sharp "BWOOSH!" as Pierre squawks in alarm, "PIEEEEH!!!". Ohm glares at Gan Fall, interrupting him, "'I'm not' what!? You are not my enemy, is that what you want to say!? To me, you are not much better than Enel, Gan Fall!!". Gan Fall looks back, frustrated, "Are you stubborn to the point you won't listen to me!?". Ohm raises his sword and shouts his battle cry, "TSU LALA LA!!!". Gan Fall reacts with shock.

Ohm's sword strikes the ground with a massive explosion where Gan Fall and Pierre were just a moment before. Gan Fall manages to fly away on Pierre, who screeches in terror. Suddenly, the giant snake Nola bursts through the stone ruins with a loud rumble. A Shandia warrior aims a bazooka at the massive beast, gritting his teeth, "Damn you...!! Ungh...". He fires, and the explosion hits the snake directly, but the smoke clears to reveal the snake completely unharmed. The warrior stares in disbelief, "Not even a shot from a bazooka can penetrate its scales...!?". The snake's giant eye glares down at them as Ohm's voice rings out again, "TSU LALA LALA LALA!!!".

Zoro is shown falling through the air amidst a shower of rocks and debris, screaming, "AAAA AAAAA AAHHH!!!! I'm fed up with this damn cave! I'm...". He crashes hard onto the ground, blood dripping from his face as he pants heavily. He slowly pushes himself up onto one knee, his swords still sheathed at his side. He mutters, "What... What was that...!?". Behind him, Ohm's giant dog, Holy, stands up on its hind legs, watching Zoro intently.

Ohm holds the hilt of his sword, and the blade extends out of it with a mechanical sound. He taunts Zoro, "Bleh... You citizens of the blue sea know nothing at all... My katana is also made of iron cloud. The blade... Emerges from a dial inside the hilt...". Ohm swings the sword, and it whips around like a flexible ribbon, slicing through the stone ruins with ease. Zoro dodges the erratic strikes, looking surprised. Ohm continues, "And follows the target wherever they go!!". Zoro smirks, catching his breath, "You are all into gadgets around here... Yeah, I get it. It's just like a whip." Ohm glares back, "Swordsman of junk? Do you understand now...".

Holy stands tall on its hind legs as Ohm addresses it, "Holy...". The dog barks, "Woof?". Ohm commands, "We will split up now...". Zoro watches them, confused. Ohm adjusts his sunglasses and says, "The upper ruins are getting a little too crowded...!!". A wide shot reveals the sheer scale of the chaos: the giant snake Nola is thrashing wildly through the ruins, destroying everything in its path. Zoro and Ohm are tiny figures in the foreground, while Gan Fall on Pierre flies near the massive serpent.

A massive explosion blasts a Shandia warrior into the air. On top of the ruins, several Holy Guards gather, looking out at the battlefield. One points and says, "Look at that... Even the King of the Sky is here!". Another yells, "We are here to help, Ohm-sama!!!". The giant snake Nola rears its massive head, towering over the ancient structures. A Holy Guard screams a battle cry, "MEEEH~~~~!!!!", as Gan Fall on Pierre flies desperately around the colossal beast.

Wiper stands battered but furious, muttering, "You guys...". Two surviving Shandia warriors stand beside him, one holding an axe and the other a bow. One says, "It looks like... We are the only ones left!!". The other adds, "We will help you get to Enel, Wiper!!". Meanwhile, Luffy is shown frantically digging a hole in the ground with his bare hands, saying, "I know! I'll dig a hole!". The giant snake continues to thrash through the ruins. Ohm's voice echoes, "TSU LALA LA!!!". A Holy Guard looks up in terror, screaming, "Ah! The snake...!!".

The giant snake Nola looms over the battlefield, its mouth wide open as it lets out a strange, echoing laugh: "SHI SHI SHI SHI...". A Shandia warrior observes in shock, "He is laughing...". Suddenly, the snake lunges forward with terrifying speed. Holy Guards scream in panic, "MEEEH~~~!!! STOP! MEEEH~~~!!!". A woman's voice shrieks, "KYAAAAAH!". Down below, the combatants react to the sudden chaos. An off-screen voice yells, "Kill them~~ MEEEH~~~!!!". Gan Fall shouts, "Girl!". Wiper yells, "Aisa!!!". Zoro looks stunned, exclaiming, "Nami...!?".

A chaotic splash panel shows Nami bursting into the middle of the battlefield on her Waver, looking absolutely terrified. Aisa is clinging to her back, crying out. Zoro is in the midst of dodging a strike from Ohm's whip-like sword, while Gan Fall on Pierre flies above. Zoro yells in shock, "Nami!! What are you doing here!?". Wiper also shouts, "Aisa!! What are you doing here!?". Aisa cries out for Wiper. Nami frantically looks around, asking, "Where are the others!!? Ah! Zoro!". Wiper glares at Nami furiously, demanding, "Aisa! Get away from her! What are you planning on doing to her!?".

Gan Fall swoops down on Pierre, landing near Nami and Aisa. Nami, still panicking, tries to explain, "Because we were being chased by...". Aisa cries out, pointing at Wiper, "Demon~~~!! Wiper, you demon~~!!". Wiper looks confused and angry, asking, "Why!!?". Gan Fall looks at them and asks, "Saved... Why did you come here?". Before anyone can answer, a massive shadow falls over them. The giant snake Nola rears up right behind them, its jaws wide open. Nami stammers, "A giant snake...". Ohm's laugh rings out, "TSU LALA LALA LA!!!", as Pierre squawks in terror.

The giant snake Nola lunges forward, its massive jaws snapping shut over the area where Nami and the others were standing. Nami screams, "AAAAHH!", as the snake makes a loud "GLURB" sound. Nami manages to speed away on her Waver just in time, screaming in terror. Wiper watches, stunned, muttering, "Aisa...". Zoro looks on in disbelief, saying, "That moron...". The snake swallows whatever it caught with a loud gulp. Zoro and Ohm stand nearby, watching the beast. Holy barks, "Woof!". Zoro grits his teeth, realizing the gravity of the situation.

The giant snake thrashes wildly, its massive tail sweeping across the ruins. The tail smashes directly into Gan Fall and Pierre, sending them crashing into the stone structures with a devastating impact. Gan Fall cries out in pain, "!!?". Below, Zoro is forced to dodge falling debris from the snake's rampage. He looks back over his shoulder, his eyes wide with shock as he witnesses the sheer destructive power of the beast.

A Shandia warrior cries out, "Wiper!". Zoro looks down, sweating and tense. Wiper is shown lying on the ground, heavily injured and bleeding from his head, muttering, "Fools...". Ohm stands tall amidst the destruction, resting his sword on his shoulder. He looks down at the fallen warriors and says coldly, "This is what happens when you don't pay attention... You should focus on saving yourselves first!! Anyway, no one will make it through."

This is an SBS (Shitsumon o Boshu Suru) question and answer page. A reader asks Oda about Vivi's speech in Alabasta (Volume 22, Chapter 198) and her later dialogue (Volume 23, Chapter 216), noting the connection. Oda confirms the reader's observation, explaining that the roar of the rebellion drowned out Vivi's feelings initially, and praises the emotional impact of the scene. Another reader asks how Nami could give a compass direction ("North by Northwest") on the Grand Line in Volume 24, Chapter 218, threatening Oda to jump into an ice-cold pool if he can't answer. Oda explains that directions can still be told when on land, and Nami had confirmed the direction of the next island while on the previous island. A small comic panel shows Nami and Robin on the ship discussing the Log Pose.
