ONE PIECE

Color splash page showing Monkey D. Luffy riding a massive red parrot in flight, holding a bento box. Eustass Kid clings to a large mechanical device extending from the parrot, shouting with an intense expression while holding a photo. Several colorful parrots fly around them against a bright sky with clouds. The large red parrot has a yellow crest and determined eyes. At the bottom, the One Piece logo appears with 'NEPIECE' stylized text and 'EIICHIRO ODA' credited in the corner.

Manga page opens with a stormy sea view of Onigashima labeled 'SECRET BACK-ENTRANCE' and 'ONIGASHIMA'. Narration states 'A STORM IS BREWING...'. Close-up of a fierce man with a lightning-shaped scar shouting 'GERA!! GERA!! OH, THEY REALLY ARE HERE!!' and 'THAT YOU WILL COME...'. A woman with long hair exclaims 'GRINCE!! I WAS SURE...'. Below, the same woman declares 'I KNOW YOUR TENACITY BETTER THAN ANYONE!!'. In a courtyard, several figures including a tall armored warrior laugh 'GEHE GEHE!!' and 'GYAHA HAHA!!'. Speech continues: 'IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO THINK THAT YOU WOULD NOT COME...!!!' and 'IT IS TRUE THAT NO SAMURAI INTRUDERS WERE SPOTTED. BUT...'.

Multiple panels continue the confrontation. A man with wild hair yells 'THAT BRAT TRIED TO RESIST AS MUCH AS HE COULD...' and 'LET MOMONOSUKE-SAMA FREE!! OUR HEADS AREN'T CUT OFF YET!!'. Another figure states 'BROKE HIS TIES AND TRIED TO RUN AWAY!! HE PICKED UP A KNIFE FROM SOMEWHERE, SAYING HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE A BURDEN FOR YOU...!!!'. A woman with a scar recounts 'NATURALLY, I HAD TO CORRECT HIS BEHAVIOUR UNTIL HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'D LET HIM ESCAPE. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM... HE MANAGED TO STAB MY HAND.' A large chaotic scene shows samurai and Beast Pirates clashing at 'AT THE EXECUTION!!' with cries of 'KANJURO!!!' and 'I WON'T LET YOU CONTINUE WITH YOUR RAID!!'. Izo appears shouting 'ALL FOR THIS HOPELESS WAR!I SO, YOU CAME BACK, IZO!!'. A woman notes 'THEY LOOK JUST LIKE YOU, RIGHT!I WHO ARE ABLE TO FIGHT... HEADLESS WARRIORS... EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ONLY PAINTINGS.'

As the group discusses events, a voice notes, "AS WE SPEAK, IN THE CONCERT HALL INSIDE... BUT WE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT FOR LONG!! DUE TO ODEN'S BLOOD, PERHAPS...!! BUT WELL, SURPRISINGLY, THE KID SURVIVED!!" In a few minutes, the Kozuki line will have ended for good. "KAKAKAKA!!! ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS STALL FOR TIME!!" A samurai growls, "GRR, WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR ARMI" while another exclaims, "NICE! UHI OH THAT, UHUH." The panel declares, "MOMOSUKE'S EXECUTION IS TAKING PLACE!!" Kikunojo stands tall in ornate armor, declaring, "JUST AS THE SNOW LEFT IN SPRING, THE WOUND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU WILL KEEP HURTING YOUR SOUL...!! GOOD. I WILL HAVE TO ASK YOU TO STAY QUIET FROM NOW ON, KANJUROU-SAN. YOU KNOW THE SCARS LEFT BY MY BLADE LINGER EVEN IN THE AFTERLIFE, RIGHTI" The large caption reads, "RETAINER OF THE KOZUKI CLAN KIKUNOJO OF THE LINGERING SNOW."

Kikunojo charges forward in a powerful slash as a voice commands, "COME, KIKU!!" The fierce face of Kikunojo appears with a grin. In the clash, a warrior shouts, "YES!" while another yells, "YOSHI!! LET'S GO!!" and a beast-like fighter roars, "FTOU! FTOU!" Multiple samurai and Beast Pirates clash with swords and weapons amid impact effects "オオオオ" and "オオオ." Kikunojo delivers a devastating strike with motion lines and large SFX "キリッ" as the battle intensifies.

Kikunojo's intense face fills a panel as the fight rages. A fighter declares, "THAT'S MY TWO BLADED STYLE!!" while another questions, "GRAOI WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR LEG!I" Combat erupts with screams "NYAAH!" "KYA!!" and sharp SFX "シャアアアア" "シャアア." Below, inside the castle, voices announce, "START THE VIDEO DENDEN-MUSHI!! MASTER KAIDO'S SPEECH HAS STARTED!!" with a sign noting "INSIDE THE CASTLE."

In the attic, a woman with a ponytail shouts, "AND SINCE YOUR ACE'S LITTLE BROTHER, I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LET ME BOARD YOUR SHIP! AS KOZUKI ODEN," with large SFX "バン" "クワ." Luffy reacts with shock "!I" as she continues, "EVEN IF I'M ODEN, I'M NOT FREE!! BECAUSE OF THESE HANDCUFFS!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I SHOULD BE ODEN!I THEN YOU BE HIM!! YOU!I KOZUKI ODEN WAS A GREAT GUY EVERYONE ADMIRED, RIGHT!I YOU CAN'T BE KOZUKI ODEN!!" Luffy glares back. She adds, "EXACTLY!! IF I WERE TO LEAVE THE ISLAND, THEY WOULD EXPLODE!! ARE THESE THE HANDCUFFS THE PRISONERS WEAR!I SINCE I'VE BEEN 8, I WAS FORCED TO STAY ON THIS ISLAND!! I WANTED TO GO TO THE SEA TO SEE ACE AND THE OTHERS, BUT... HONESTLY. I WONDER IF THAT'S NOT A LIE. WHAT KIND OF PARENT WOULD DO THAT TO THEIR CHILDI" Background music notes play as figures stand in the hall.

Inside a dim interior, Yamato stands facing Luffy. Yamato asks, "DO YOU WANT ME TO REMOVE THEMI" while explaining, "BUT IT COULD VERY WELL BE TRUE, AND IT WOULD BLOW MY ARMS OFF. BECAUSE MY FATHER IS THAT KIND OF GUY!!" Luffy reacts with shock, "WHATI" and questions, "BUT HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT YOU WILL FIGHT ALONGSIDE USI" In close-up, Yamato continues passionately, "DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY TIMES HE HIT ME SINCE I WAS A KID!I EVERY TIME I OPPOSED HIM, HE ANSWERED ME WITH PUNCHES!! I WANT TO DO IT AS MUCH AS YOU DO." Luffy shouts back fiercely, "I'M WARNING YOU, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, I'M GOING TO BEAT KAIDOU!!" The scene shifts to a wider view where Yamato, now with a small companion, declares, "REMOVE THEMI BUT... IT HAS BEEN 20 YEARS SINCE MY FREEDOM HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM ME. I GET IT. I'M GOING TO REMOVE THEM!!" Nearby reactions erupt with "WAAH, THE SCREEN APPEARED!! THAT'S THE CONCERT HALL!!" amid large sound effects and motion lines.

A broadcast screen shows chaos as a mustached figure exclaims, "THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T LOSE ITS MIND... WHEN IT ABOLISHING THE SHICHIBUKAI SYSTEM!!" while another voice notes, "THINGS ARE FINALLY STARTING TO MOVE ACROSS THE WORLD!!" The view cuts to a close-up of a fierce, scarred man yelling, "THAT'S THE PROOF THAT THE MARINE HQ IS FULLY CONFIDENT IN THEIR 'NEW FORCE' TO FIGHT AGAINST US," with sound effects like "ZWIP" and "CRR... CRR..." In a dramatic wide shot, the same man continues, "ON OUR SIDE OF THINGS, WE ALLIED OURSELVES WITH BIG MOM'S CREW!! AND WE WILL GET THE WORLD'S STRONGEST WEAPONS, THE ANCIENT WEAPONS!! BUT LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT THE OVERCONFIDENT MARINES..."

Explosions rock the area as characters react in panic: "SO IT'S HER, THE WORLD'S STRONGEST HAG!I" "FROM UP CLOSE, SHE REALLY SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE!!" "WHAT!I" "SHRIK SHRAK" and "CRAC BOUM" fill the panels with debris and motion lines. Nami appears shouting "NAMI!!!I" as Zeus reacts nearby. Big Mom bursts onto the scene in full Oiran attire, laughing wildly as she asks, "YOU CALLED FOR ME, KAIDOU!I" Her crew cheers around her with lines like "I'M ON TIME, RIGHT!I MAMAMA!! DON'T BE SUCH A PARTY POPPER!!" "LINLIN! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!I" "GYAAH, BIG MOM!!!" and "BEEBEN BEEBEN." A large caption box identifies her: "CAPTAIN OF THE BIG MOM PIRATES O-LIN THE OIRAN BOUNTY: 4.388.000.000." Nami's group discusses strategy in the background: "WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET ANYWHERE BY FIGHTING!! BUT IF WE STICK TOGETHER, THEN EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! YOU HEAR THAT, GUYSI WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE SERIOUS FROM HERE ON OUT!!"

Big Mom and Kaido glare side-by-side in close-up, both declaring in massive lettering, "WE'RE GOING FOR THE ONE PIECE!!!" with heavy impact effects. The scene widens to a massive arena filled with a roaring crowd of pirates and strange creatures. Big Mom raises her arms and shouts, "BE PREPARED, IT'S THE CHAOTIC WORLD WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANCIENT WEAPONS WILL SURELY CAUSE FEAR AND WARS ACROSS THE WORLD!!" The crowd erupts with cheers and cries of "YEAAA-AAH!!!" as flames, weapons, and motion lines fill the chaotic atmosphere.

Kaido looms over the Flower Capital balcony, declaring his claim. "IT'S MINE!! THE ONE PIECE... AS FOR YOU GUYS...!!!" Below, Orochi's forces and samurai react in shock. A beast pirate laughs, "DIDN'T EXPECT THAT... GUFUFU!" Kaido roars, "CHOOSE!!...WHO ARE WORKING FOR OROCHI!!" The crowd panics amid smoke and debris. Three figures debate Wano's future: "IF WE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF WEAPON FACTORIES AND PUT THE PEOPLE OF THE FLOWER CAPITAL TO WORK... IT'S A NATURAL FORTRESS SURROUNDED BY WATERFALLS!! WANO IS SAFE FROM BOTH THE MARINES AND THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!"

Kaido glares down, "THE FLOWER CAPITAL IS MY TERRITORY!! WHO DO YOU THINK GAVE YOU ALL THE WEAP-" A voice interrupts, "HEY, KAIDOU, WAIT!!" Kaido continues, "WHAT!I THIS PLACE WILL BECOME A 'LAWLESS AREA', A PARADISE!! THEN FOR ALL PIRATES..." Enraged, Kaido transforms and smashes downward in a massive strike, sending debris and bodies flying as the ground erupts beneath him.

Panic erupts as Kaido rampages. "OUAAAH!!!" "KYAAH!!" "WHAT!II" Big Mom cackles, "MAAMAMA HAHAHA!!" A subordinate shouts, "LORD!! FOR US..." Kaido smashes foes with a club, "GAT...!!" Below, a voice warns, "YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO CHOOSE! OROCHI'S MINIONS... CHANGES NOTHING!! WHETHER THE KOZUKI OR THE KUROZUMI RULE..." Someone spots, "ISN'T THAT MOMO OVER THERE!I"

Explosions rock the area. "GYAAH!!" "OUAAAAA-AHHHHH!!" A figure yells, "QUIET!! MOMO!!!" Orochi's men threaten the samurai: "OR FIGHT US HERE AND DIE!! CHOOSE, SAMURAI! BECOME PIRATES WITH US!!! WHY!!!I THEY WERE ALLIES FOR SO LONG!!! LORD OROCHI IS DEAD!!!" The group plans ahead: "TONIGHT, WE'RE TRANSFERRING 'ONIGASHIMA'... THE RAIDS, WHICH ARE OUR MAIN ACTIVITY, ARE SURELY GOING TO INCREASE AS WELL!! TO PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THE 'FINAL WAR' THAT'S COMING, WE'RE GOING TO TURN THIS COUNTRY INTO 'THE PIRATE EMPIRE'!!"

A man with a dotted head shouts in panic, "THAT'S THE END OF WANO!!" while gripping chains. Above, a massive figure with horns and a spiked club looms as a blade drips and a voice cries, "TO THE FLOWER CAPITAL!!" Kaido, the towering horned man, roars with fury, "AND ITS SHOGUN WILL BE MY SON, YAMATO!! THIS COUNTRY IS NOW NAMED 'NEW ONIGA-SHIMA'!!!" In the lower panel, Yamato, a blonde woman with horns and a club, yells furiously at Kaido, "YOU SHITTY OLD MAN!! AS IF THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!" A dark-haired man beside her demands, "SHOW ME THE WAY QUICKLY, OR MOMO IS GOING TO GET KILLED!!" while another voice shouts, "MASTER YAMATO IS HERE!!" and "CONTACT THE FLYING SIX!!" A small figure warns, "THE HEAVY HITTERS ARE GATHERING!!" as impact lines and motion effects fill the chaotic scene.
