The page opens with the vertical title "THE STORY OF ONE PIECE" running down the left edge. A dense block of Japanese narration recounts the era of the great pirate age, the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and the pursuit of the One Piece. It describes Luffy and his crew arriving at Water 7, the city of shipwrights, where they seek repairs for the Going Merry at the Galley-La Company. The text notes that the crew's arrival stirs trouble as Usopp clashes with Luffy over the ship. Robin's past as a survivor of Ohara and her connection to the ancient weapons and CP9 are summarized. On the right, a framed panel titled "ガレーラカンパニー" (Galley-La Company) lists key members with portraits and titles: Iceburg (Mayor & G-C President), Paulie ("Rigging-Mast Chief"), Peepley Lulu ("Bitch-Chain-Sail Chief"), Tilestone ("Sashimono-Carpentry Chief"), and Kokoro (Station Master of Shift Station). Below them appear Chimney and her pet rabbit-like creature Gonbe, followed by a portrait of red-haired Shanks with the caption "赤髪のシャンクス" noting his importance to Luffy.

Luffy bursts into the lower right panel, eyes wide and mouth open, yelling "ROBIN!!!!" and "I FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!"

Paulie then spots a familiar figure and cries "PAULIE....!!!" "HAA... STRAW HAT...". In the ruined hallway, the broad-backed man marked with a large "1" stands amid debris while a voice demands "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ONI!!" and another shouts "....!!! PAULIE, WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN AWAYI!!" with "HAA.....". Close-ups show Kaku's wide-eyed surprise, Kalifa's sharp glare, and a horned figure's stunned expression.

Amid the destruction, a voice declares "THE CRIMINALS WHO'RE AFTER ICEBERG-SAN'S LIFE....!!!" while another demands "WHY ARE YOU GUYS DRESSED LIKE.......!!!". The man with the "1" stands with his back turned as Kaku, in top hat, points and shouts "KAKU!!! LUCCHI!!!". Nearby, Blueno appears and Kalifa is addressed "HEY!! KALIFA!!". A character recognizes "HEY, I RECOGNIZE THE SQUARE NOSE" and another realizes "OH YEAH!! THOSE ARE THE SHIPWRIGHTS YOU WERE WITH EARLIER!! IT'S THE PIGEON GUY!!".

Lucci, still facing away, explains "PAULIE... WE'RE ACTUALLY GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVES. YOU'LL FORGIVE ME IF I APOLOGIZE, RIGHT...I WE'RE COMPANIONS... WE BUILT SHIPS DAY IN AND DAY OUT...". Luffy reacts with shock, recognizing "THE VOICE I HEARD EARLIER... OF THE COW MASK MATCHED YOURS... DAMMIT....!!! BASTARD!!!!" and yelling "SHUDDUP... THIS IS TOO MUCH!!! HAA...". Paulie, enraged and bloodied, roars "STOP IT, PAULIE!!! YOU MADE FOOLS OUT OF ALL OF US!! YOU CAN SPEAK PROPERLY!!!!" as the confrontation peaks.

Paulie reels from a brutal punch, blood spraying as a voice declares, "YOU STILL DON'T GET IT...!I" Someone shouts, "PAULIE!!!" The impact lands with a loud "SPLUTCH!" In the next panels, a wide-eyed figure cries out, "YOU GUYS!!!" and "WHY...!!!" A man in a top hat stands over a kneeling figure and yells, "HEY!!! ROPE GUY!!!"

Rob Lucci stands with his pigeon Hattori perched on his shoulder, raising one finger as he explains, "ROKUSHIKI." He continues, "THE STRENGTH OF ONE WHO HAS MASTERED IT IS EQUAL TO 100 MEN." and "DON'T BOTHER RESISTING... WE'VE MASTERED SKILLS THAT SOAR FAR ABOVE OF HUMANS. WE'VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS TRAINING IN A MARTIAL ART THAT MAKES THE BODY EQUAL TO A WEAPON." In the lower panels, Blueno and other Galley-La workers react with surprise and anger; one shouts, "BLUENO, MORE BEER!!" while another retorts, "IDIOT!! I'M TREATING YA 'CAUSE I WAS LUCKY TODAY" and "COO COO. YOU GAMBLE TOO MUCH." Paulie glares and demands, "WHY WOULD YOU...!!!" as the group argues among themselves.

Lucci's face twists with fury as he roars, "LUCCHI!!! YOU BASTARD!!!" A close-up shows his intense glare while he states, "YOUR LIFE WILL EXPIRE, EITHER WAY... THOUGH WE WERE FRIENDS..." The top-hatted figure replies calmly, "NO MATTER." A massive impact erupts with "GAH!!" and the huge onomatopoeia "ズゴゴ" as Luffy is struck. Someone desperately yells, "STOP IT!!!" while a shocked face below reacts with "!!I"

Lucci activates his technique, declaring "TEKKAI." Luffy stretches his arm back and shouts, "GOMU GOMU...!!!!" launching a rapid barrage labeled "GAT-LING!!!" The air fills with impact sounds "ズガチャチャ" and "ドドド" as the flurry strikes. Lucci remains unfazed, noting "...... THIS IS ANNOYING." Below, Luffy stares in shock, exclaiming, "...!I WHAT!I IT'S NOT WORKING!!!" while the background shows the ongoing clash and motion lines.

In a blur of motion, the opponent vanishes from sight. "HE DISAP-PEARED!!" someone exclaims as shock registers on nearby faces. "HUH!!I" A powerful impact erupts with "ビュン!!" and the voice calls "SORU." Luffy appears crouched in a ready stance, eyes sharp. The scene shifts to a dramatic close-up as Luffy lunges forward with blinding speed, arm extended. "SHIGAN." The devastating finger thrust lands with a massive "ドン" impact and shattering force lines. The struck figure reels back violently, crying out "AUGH!!!" as debris and motion lines explode around the strike.

Luffy's powerful strike sends the opponent flying backward amid massive impact effects. "Luffy!!!" a voice cries out. The man in the top hat reels from the blow, blood spraying as he gasps "NEEE!!" In smaller panels, the top-hatted man questions the attack while clutching his face. "YOU'D NOW HAVE A HOLE IN IT, AND WOULD'VE DIED INSTANTLY, RUBBERMAN. IF YOU'D HAD A NORMAL NECK..." he states. Another figure reacts with "EEHO!! GEHO!!!" and "!!!! KEHA!!!" as Luffy presses the assault. In the lower panel, Luffy grabs and slams the opponent down with a massive crash "ズシャアアアアアアア!!" while the top-hatted man watches from the side, hand raised.

The top-hatted man glares and demands, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING... STRAW HATI YOU'RE PLANNING TO KILL HIM!!!" Luffy, bruised and sweating, glares back furiously. "'TIL A MOMENT AGO, YES... BUT IT'S DIFFERENT NOW..." the man continues. In the wide view of the ruined room, Luffy stands over the fallen opponent while the top-hatted man looms in the foreground. "WEREN'T YOU SHIPWRIGHTS TOGETHERI!!" he accuses. Luffy's face fills the final panel, eyes wide with rage as he shouts, "THAT WE'D BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THE GUYS WHO TRIED TO KILL ICE-OSSAN!!! YOU REALLY ARE A TRAITOR!!! FINE THEN. ANYWAYS, I PROMISED THIS GUY!!"

Luffy stands with his back to the viewer, arms outstretched, facing the group across the hall. "'CAUSE I GOT BUSINESS WITH YOU TOO!!!" he declares. The top-hatted man asks, "..... WHY DO YOU SIDE WITH PALLIE..." In the next tier, Nami shouts in shock, "YEAH!! THEY'RE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS!! WHY!I" while pointing. Luffy demands answers from the group: "IF YOU WANT OUT OF THE CREW, AT LEAST TELL ME WHY!!! WHAT'RE YOU DOING WITH THESE GUYSI!! HEY, ROBIN!!!" Chopper yells desperately, "WHY ROBIN!!!" Robin stands calmly and replies, "..... YOU PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO LISTEN VERY WELL.... I TOLD THE COOK AND THE DOCTOR GOODBYE... DIDN'T THEY TELL YOUI"

Nico Robin stares forward with a cold, determined expression. "To achieve my goal!!!" she declares. "A goal that can't be achieved..." Another bubble follows: "If I stay with you people!!!" She turns slightly, adding, "I will sacrifice anything!!!" In the next scene she stands with her back partly to the viewer, facing a man in a dark coat and top hat. "...To accomplish it..." she continues. Smaller panels show crew reactions: "She's...!!!" "Don't try to understand her...!!!" "I don't have to tell you." A spiky-haired man demands, "What's this goal of yoursI!!!" Someone else asks, "So... that's why you're able to frame your friends as assassins without hesitatingI"

Robin glares sharply. "You no longer have the right to say anything." The man in the top hat roars at her, "Do you understand what you're trying to doI!!! Are you crazy, Nico RobinI!!" Robin's face fills the panel as she shouts, "I will not let anyone interfere!!!!!" The man is struck violently, yelling "Iceberg-san!!" and "GUAAA!!!" while Robin is told "Keep your mouth shut!!!" The crew reacts in shock: Luffy yells "ARE YOU REALLY... OUR ENEMY!I ROBIN!!!" Nami and Chopper stare in disbelief as voices cry "ROBIN!! WHAT'RE YOU DOING!!!" and "ARE YOU SERIOUSI!" Luffy demands, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, ROBINI"

Inside the ruined mansion, Robin states, "We have no more business in this mansion..." and "...and we don't have business with your lot, either." Luffy replies, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to stop you right now... We have to find a very important person after this, so we're in a hurry." A clock ticks as a voice warns, "This mansion will be engulfed in flames." "This is sudden, but... in 2 minutes." "...2 minutes." Kalifa asks, "Kalifa, how much longerI" The man in the top hat advises, "I suggest you evacuate quickly... if you do not wish to burn to death." He adds, "Fire is a very convenient way of destroying evidence." Luffy reacts with shock: "WHAT!!I" A scarred man mutters, "That is..."

The man in the top hat finishes, "If... you can." Robin stands silently in the background. Luffy's face erupts in rage, eyes bulging as he roars "HELL NO!!!!!" In the lower panels the crew processes the situation. A voice notes, "Nico Robin seems to want to stay on the other side..." Another adds, "It looks like they mean to eliminate us." Luffy is asked, "Luffy, are ya ok with Robin leaving the crewI" He stares in stunned silence as the chapter logo appears.
