CHAPTER 127 “DENDEN-MUSHI”. A man in a black hat and long coat with circular patterns stands beside a large tree, one hand on the trunk and the other raised. A small cat with a curled tail perches on a branch above him. In the distance a pirate ship sails on the sea. A thought bubble shows a black pirate flag with a skull, crossbones, and a cat-like face. The caption reads JANGO'S DANCE PARADISE VOL. 2 "FIRST, LEARN MY SITUATION."

A massive close-up shows a giant warrior's wide-open mouth roaring with teeth bared and tongue visible. Enormous Japanese sound effects オオオオオ and ドバアアアア explode across the page. Smaller English reactions read OHHH HHHH HHH and OH HH HH HH HH. Palm trees, birds, and a distant explosion labeled KABOOM fill the background as the giant's massive form shakes the island.

Massive sound effects shake the jungle as Brogy's thunderous crying echoes through the trees: DODODODO.... The Straw Hats stand stunned before the giant. Luffy's eyes bulge as he yells, "QUACK!" Nami points excitedly, "HEY, LOOK! YOU CAN SEE A RAINBOW BEHIND HIM!" Usopp sweats and mutters, "IT'S LIKE LOOKING AT A WATERFALL!" Nami winces, "EVEN HIS CRYING IS EAR-SPLITTINGLY ENERGETIC...!" Brogy's enormous face fills a panel as he bellows with tears streaming, "OHHHHHHH..." while the crew covers their ears. Nami cries out, "MY EARS..." Usopp shouts, "I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY, MASTER BROGY!"

Brogy's massive form looms as he sits up with a groan, "SEEMS I'VE PASSED OUT FOR A BIT..." Dorry's armored face appears close, sweat dripping. A small creature pops out of a shell on Brogy's weapon, exclaiming "DORRY..." Brogy's eyes widen in shock, "YOU'RE...!I" The crew reacts in the background with "THE WEAPONS...!I" "BECAUSE OF OUR WEAPONS..." "IT'S MOST LIKELY..." Brogy suddenly swings his massive axe, sending a huge impact sound "BIKUUU!!!!" across the clearing. The Straw Hats stare in alarm as the giants face each other again.

Narration explains the hundred-year duel between the giants whose weapons could not withstand the stress. Brogy and Dorry stand with crossed weapons, the impact sounds "BON" and "DOKAN" ringing out. Usopp cheers wildly, "GABABA BABABA! IT'S A MIRACLE." Luffy watches in awe, "UNBELIEVABLE..." The giants embrace in a crushing hug, Dorry shouting, "THANK GOD YOU'VE SURVIVED, MY DEAREST FRIEND! GABABABABA!" Brogy yells back, "DON'T HUG ME SO MUCH, DORRY, YOU'RE HURTING MY WOUNDS..." while the sound effect "GASHI...!!!" and "SQUEEZE!" emphasize the powerful reunion.

The giants continue their emotional exchange. Brogy laughs, "LET US THANK THE GOD OF ELBAF! WHAT A SPLENDID DAY THIS IS!" Dorry replies, "IF ANYTHING, IT'S A MIRACLE THOSE WEAPONS STILL LOOK LIKE WEAPONS EVEN AFTER 100 YEARS OF CONSTANT USAGE." Brogy chuckles, "GEGYA GYAGYA..." Nami yells, "STOP TOUCHING MY WOUNDS! GEGYAGYAGYA" as Brogy squeezes her. The giants begin arguing again, Brogy roaring, "YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT THE REASON, YOU BIG OL' FOOL!" and "I INTEND TO CRUSH YOU FLAT, ALRIGHT!" while Dorry counters, "WHY'RE YOU STARTING A FIGHT ALREADY!I YOU INTEND TO START SOMETHING!I" The crew watches the sudden shift in shock.

In a dense jungle, a strange wax-covered structure stands amid the trees as large sound effects echo. A voice calls out, "MISTER..." Sanji stares at the Den Den Mushi in shock, thinking, "ZERO...I" He recalls, "DIDN'T VIVI SAY THAT MR. 0 WAS THE ENEMY BOSS' CODENAME...I" and "IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY..." His hand taps the snail, "コツ...コツ..." The Den Den Mushi continues, "WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT THE MAN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DENDEN-MUSHI RIGHT NOW IS...!"

Sanji's eyes widen in realization as he exclaims, "ONE OF THE ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI...!I" Through the Den Den Mushi, Mr. 3 speaks with a striped agent: "MR. 3... SO THAT MUST BE THE OWNER OF THE DENDEN-MUSHI HERE..." and "WHAT IS YOUR STATUS, MR. 3I" The other voice replies, "IT'S ALREADY BEEN QUITE SOME TIME SINCE I SENT YOU MY ORDERS." At a table inside the wax hideout, Sanji sits with the agents as narration states, "THIS IS THE ENEMY'S SECRET HIDEOUT, AND A GUY CALLED MR. 3 IS ON THIS ISLAND TO HUNT DOWN VIVI." Sanji mutters, "ALRIGHT, I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT SITUATION NOW..."

At a bar, Sanji sweats while pouring a drink, thinking, "WHAT ARE YOU BEING SO SILENT FORI" "I HOPE THE GUYS ARE ALL SAFE..." and "DAMN IT... I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UP IN SOME HUNTING GAME...!" The Den Den Mushi demands, "HAVE YOU ELIMINATED PRINCESS VIVI AND THE STRAWHAT PIRATES OR NOTI" "I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION." Sanji lies back and answers, "ALL THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW OF YOUR SECRET ARE NOW NO MORE, SO THERE IS NO MORE NEED FOR FURTHER PURSUIT." "I'VE CARRIED OUT MY MISSION ALRIGHT." "YES."

A hand plucks a lily from a vase as voices explain, "ONCE THEY CONFIRM YOUR MISSION'S SUCCESS, THEY'LL HAND YOU A CERTAIN PACKAGE." "I SEE. GOOD WORK... THE UNLUCKIES ARE HEADED YOUR WAY RIGHT NOW." Sanji reacts with surprise, "A PACKAGEI" "THE UNLUCKIESI" The speaker continues, "AN ETERNAL POSE TO ALABASTA... THAT'S RIGHT." In a grand hall, a massive alligator-like creature looms over a table where a figure sits, stating, "ONCE YOU RECEIVE IT, HEAD TO ALABASTA WITH MS. GOLDEN-WEEK IMMEDIATELY." "YOU WILL AWAIT FURTHER DETAILS." "ONCE YOU ARRIVE AT ALABASTA." "THE TIME HAS COME... WE MUST NOW CARRY OUT THE MOST CRUCIAL STEP OF OUR PLAN."

Two masked figures laugh uproariously in close-up panels, their heads thrown back with wild energy as large onomatopoeia "ゴォォォォォォ" fills the top of the page. Below, the same two figures appear inside dripping circular frames, still cackling "オォォォォォ..." while a suited man at a checkered table stares in shock, exclaiming "THE HELL...I" Sanji leans in with a tense expression, sweat drop visible, saying "NO, IT'S N-". A voice asks "WHAT'S THE MATTERI" as the leopard-masked figure suddenly flares with a bright "パァッ...!! GLINT!" and the goggled figure emits a mechanical "ウィーーーン CLICK!" sound, their bodies reacting with surprise.

A massive impact erupts as a huge black shape smashes down with explosive force, "ドドドド" shaking the panel while debris flies. The goggled masked figure is sent flying amid the chaos, crying "WHOA!". The suited man is struck hard, yelling "AGHH!" as the leopard-masked figure is also hurled aside with a "ボォー!!" impact. In the lower panels the suited man and Sanji are knocked back violently, the suited man shouting "GAH! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY!I" while the leopard-masked figure yelps "SNIP!" amid swirling motion lines and destruction.

Sanji glares angrily, bruised and disheveled, growling "THAT'S SOME BIG BALLS YOU'VE GOT, YOU DAMNED, DIRTY..." and "TRYING TO KILL ME, ARE YOU NOWI". He lunges forward with a powerful punch that connects explosively, shouting "FOUR-EYED MONKEY!" as impact stars and motion lines burst outward. The leopard-masked and goggled figures tumble in the aftermath with a loud "CLICK!" and the suited man sprawls nearby, the scene filled with flying debris and swirling effects.

The goggled masked figure spins wildly through the air, wings flared, as Sanji twists its neck with a "TWIST!" and yells "YOU OVERGROWN CHICKEN!". The figure protests "DIDN'T I, TELL YOU... TO QUIT IT," while Sanji retorts from the side. In the lower panels Sanji stands up, brushing himself off with a grin, saying "ONE OF THE STRAWHATS TURNED OUT TO BE JUST BARELY ALIVE, BUT I JUST FINISHED HIM OFF FOR SURE SO WORRY NOT." A voice replies "IT'S REALLY NOTHING. OH, NEVER MIND THAT." Nearby, Mr. 3's candle-wax form is visible as someone asks "WHAT HAPPENEDI" with a small "ビクッ..." reaction.

A hand crushes a white flower into a glass of water with repeated squeezing sounds. "ONE OF THEM..." "WAS ALIVE...I" The bloom withers completely as the fingers tighten. "YOU HAD CARRIED OUT THE MISSION SUCCESSFULLY...I" "DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY," the voice continues while the stem snaps. "wither." In a dim room the blond man replies nervously, "BUT ONE OF THE BUGGERS WAS A LOT MORE TENACIOUS THAN I THOUGHT..." "SO IN SHORT," the seated figure presses, "YOU HAD GIVEN ME A FALSE REPORT AT THAT TIME..." The blond man rubs his head and admits, "AH, WELL I THOUGHT I HAD."

Crocodile's scarred face fills the panel as he orders, "JUST HEAD FOR ALABASTA STRAIGHT AWAY THEN." The blond man answers, "FINE..." Crocodile continues, "SO THERE'S REALLY NO NEED FOR FURTHER PURSUIT. BUT I REALLY DID FINISH HIM FOR SURE JUST NOW. WELL... I SUPPOSE THAT'S TRUE IF YOU WANT TO GET TECHNICAL... CAPICHEI" In his lavish office Crocodile sits behind a desk speaking into a Den Den Mushi. "FROM HEREON, ALL ORDERS SHALL BE DELIVERED THE TRADITIONAL WAY. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I CONTACT YOU BY DENDEN-MUSHI. I CAN'T AFFORD THE MARINES TO INTERCEPT ANY OF OUR CALLS. THAT IS ALL. GODSPEED, MR. 3..." A large man with a spotted mask lounges nearby as Crocodile commands, "SEND MR. 2 TO LITTLE GARDEN." The masked man replies, "YESI" A woman's voice answers, "MS. ALL-SUNDAY." The Den Den Mushi clicks shut with a "ガチャ..."

Crocodile's face looms large, eyes narrowed. "AND ASSASSINATE MR. 3...! HIS ORDERS ARE TO LIE IN WAIT AMIDST THE ROUTE BETWEEN ALABASTA AND LITTLE GARDEN." Sanji stands in the background, cigarette lit, muttering, "HE HUNG UP..." Miss All Sunday appears in a close-up, smiling faintly. "SIR 'MR.0' CROCODILE. RATHER VIOLENT, AREN'T YOU," she remarks. Crocodile turns away from his desk, coat billowing. "NO, NO. I'LL CARRY OUT YOUR ORDERS AT ONCE..." he says while the large masked man steps forward. "I STILL HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH CAPABLE OFFICERS... DO YOU REALLY WISH TO TALK BACK TO MEI"

Crocodile bursts into loud laughter, "ゴォオオオオオ!!" The spotted-masked man lies sprawled on the floor beside toppled vases while Sanji stands over the Den Den Mushi. "SO WHAT THE HELL WERE THESE THINGSI" he wonders. The snail device suddenly speaks, "ROLL..." Sanji leans in, "THIS IS... HMI" The scene cuts to the open sea where a Marine ship sails past a striped sea cow. A sailor shouts into a Den Den Mushi, "CPT. SMOKER! WE'VE JUST INTERCEPTED A HIGHLY PECULIAR CALL!" Another yells, "CAPTAIN!" Smoker answers from the deck, "WHAT!I"

The SBS Question Corner opens with a decorative header reading "質問コーナー エス ビー エス". Miss Valentine appears on the right, laughing heartily while holding a Den Den Mushi, with a small pirate ship and a surprised man visible inside the snail's speech bubble. She declares, "KYAHAHAHAHA! START THE SBS!" A voice labeled D introduces her: "HELLO, EVERYONE! TODAY, MISS VALENTINE WILL START THE SBS IN PLACE OF ODA-SENSEI!! TAKE IT AWAY, MISS VALENTINE!!" Another voice labeled O responds nervously, "UH..." Miss Valentine then answers a question about the word "tempura," explaining it is Portuguese with no deeper meaning and that old Japanese simply transcribed foreign words phonetically. She encourages readers to ask anything unclear. The questioner O reacts with excitement: "WOW! KNOWLEDGEABLE HIMEKO KNOWS A LOT!!" and poses a detailed query about page 51 of volume 1, asking why Shanks' pirate flag has three lines that were not redrawn despite reader complaints, wondering if it carries a secret message about healing scars. At the bottom, three small panels show a black pirate flag with a skull and crossbones being altered, accompanied by Japanese text and arrows indicating changes to the design.
