The chapter opens with the title "Complete Loss of Face" over a double-page color spread. The Straw Hat Pirates are shown in a lively Fishman Island beach scene, surrounded by sea-themed signs, balloons, coral, and playful props. The text "ONE PIECE Everything's Packed!" appears on the spread. This is a decorative chapter-color illustration rather than part of the immediate story chronology.

The color spread continues in full color, showing the Straw Hats relaxing around a bright Mermaid Beach setting with signs reading "Mermaid Beach" and "Fish Bus." Luffy, Nami, Robin, Brook, Chopper, and other crew members are arranged like a festive postcard from Fishman Island. It is promotional art and does not advance the battle.

A few minutes earlier in the Ocean Forest, whales and fishes suddenly swim away from the forest. One soldier says, "The whales and fishes... are swimming away from the forest...!!" Another realizes, "...This is no ordinary phenomenon... Something must be happening on the island...!!" A guard says that in a fair fight Jinbe and the Straw Hats would defeat Hody easily enough, but he cannot see Hody giving in so easily. Camie asks what he means, and he answers, "I think this must be... exactly what Boss Ti was afraid of...!!"

Across Fishman Island, an urgent message comes from the Minister of the Left: "All citizens are to be evacuated from the island!!" In Coral Hill, people struggle to understand the order. They say Noah had almost crushed the island just now, and if that thing crashes into the island again, "It would be a complete disaster!!" Others receive word from the plaza that Princess Shirahoshi apparently stopped Noah from crashing into the island moments earlier. The people are shocked, but the evacuation order stands.

In Water-Wheel Town, citizens hear that Decken was behind Noah's attack, and someone says, "That twisted stalker!! Is there anything he won't do?!" In the Coral Apartments, people ask whether Shirahoshi really drew the danger away all on her own. They refuse to simply run away and save themselves after their princess put her life in mortal danger to buy them time. One man says, "I hope you're not planning to waste that time doing nothing to help!!" and the call spreads: "Everybody evacuate the island!!!"
In the Ocean Forest, Neptune and his companions are found by messengers crying, "Your Majesty!! Are you all right?!!" Neptune apologizes: "I must offer my sincere apologies!! It shames me to have failed to aid you at a time like this...!!" The guards tell him this was all so sudden that they have been struggling to react. Neptune understands that the ship beginning to move was one thing no one could have foreseen, and he curses "that madman Decken." If Noah had collided with the island and the princess, it would have been the end of everything. Though told to leave, Neptune refuses.

Neptune says, "No... I will await the princes." Then the scene returns to Gyoncord Plaza, where the fallen bodies of the New Fishman Pirates lie scattered across the battlefield. Citizens ask, "What in the world...?" and "What is going on here?!! I need explanations!!" As they look around, they wonder where all these defeated pirates came from and why the plaza has suddenly changed so completely.
The answer becomes clear as the plaza fills with the results of the battle. Wadatsumi lies collapsed, and the officers of the New Fishman Pirates have been beaten back. Someone says, "The Straw Hat Pirates..." and another adds, "Jinbe...!!" The people finally see that the pirates and Jinbe, whom many had feared or doubted, are the ones standing between Fishman Island and Hody's army.

Neptune grasps the situation: "So the princess...? And Hody... And Decken... I see, I see...!! Very well!! I have grasped the current situation!!" He orders, "All men, into the plaza!! Lend your aid to Jinbe and the Straw Hats!!" After the false accusations against them and after forcing them to protect the country in Fishman Island's place, Neptune says there is little dignity left to protect. With their men taking care of the more powerful enemies, all that remains is a rabble of ruffians. The least they can do is offer full military support, while all civilian observers must evacuate immediately.

The evacuation order meets resistance from frightened but determined citizens. Children cry, "I don't wanna!!!" while others insist that even the human pirates, the Straw Hats, are fighting to protect their island. People say, "We can't just turn around and run away!!" The Minister of the Left orders the men down into the plaza to fight and entrusts others with relaying his words so every man, woman, and child hears the call to evacuate. He warns that if anyone chooses to stay regardless, it will be on their own heads.

The battle surges again as Hody's remaining forces push forward with the slave tank. They shout, "Shoot 'em down!!!" and someone answers that Neptune's army can be taken care of. Hody's exhausted officers, still panting from their fights, order, "Onward, slave tank!!" and "Head for the soldiers!!!" Even as they weaken, they treat the lower-ranked pirates as replacements and complain, "Don't slow the pace!! Bring in a replacement!!" The New Fishman Pirates' army is no longer an unstoppable wave; it is a damaged force throwing bodies forward.

Robin looks at the slave tank and says, "How positively barbaric." Wadatsumi, still bound and battered, groans, "You just wait...!!" and then inflates himself with "Mega-Nyuudou!!!" He puffs up into an enormous swollen body while the pirates cry, "Whoooooaaaa!!" and "He was big enough already!!" Sanji watches the absurd transformation and asks, "...Is there even any point to that?"

Wadatsumi boasts through his swelling body, "How'dja like dat, huh, you shocked? I'm a tiger blowfish fishman, y'know!!" Sanji is not impressed and says, "Not really... and why're you talking so fast?" Wadatsumi explains that if he keeps his mouth open too long, all the air will come out, then expands even more and demands, "Den how about now?!!" The inflated giant begins crushing the battlefield beneath him. People scream, "Move it!! He'll crush us all!!"

Wadatsumi's size becomes a danger to his own allies. Pirates scream, "Wadatsumi-san!! Stop already!!" and "You're crushing the guys on your own side!!!" Sanji says he is still not as big as the Kraken. Robin steps forward as someone calls, "Nico Robin!!" One of the enemies asks whether she thinks she can free the human slaves. Robin answers with a sharper question: "Are you sure? They have every reason to resent your people..."

Robin explains the difference clearly: "If pirates come at me with weapons, then I will crush them. But right now, those men are not even human." Jinbe understands and says, "I cannot sit by and watch Hody's foul imitations of the Tenryuubito!!" He thanks Robin, and she replies, "Very well. Leave it to me." As Robin moves to free the slaves, Franky resumes his fight with Ikaros Much. Ikaros launches "Ikaros Wings!!!" and Franky dryly asks, "You call that 'wings'...?"

Franky tells Ikaros, "Sounds more like 'wind' to me!!!" and the blast knocks the squid fishman back. Ikaros reveals that the target was only his squid-ink clone, saying, "Too bad for you-hii! That was my squid-ink clone!! You can't go underestimating our-" Franky answers with a weapon of his own: "Franky... Fireball!!!" Ikaros panics, "Eeeeek!! You'll turn me into dried squid!!!" as the flame rushes toward him.

The spectators think they have seen Franky's ultimate attack and shout, "There it is!! Franky's true ultimate attack!! He shoots mighty balls of flame from his chest!!" But the move backfires, and someone yells, "Wait, you blew that yourself?!!!" Nearby, Chopper in his new controlled monster form faces Dosun. Dosun attacks with "T-Shot!!!" while Chopper answers, "Heavy Point!" and then drives in "Heavy Gong!!!" The huge fist meets Dosun's attack head-on.

Chopper blocks Dosun's hammer with his bare hands, and the enemy gasps, "He blocked my hammer with his bare hands?!" Chopper reflects that he might have picked a better form to face a hammer, but Zoro notices the real change: "Hey, Chopper. The one form you had that looked pretty human... ain't looking so human any more." Chopper does not mind. He says he used to want to be human, but that was only so he could make friends. Now he would rather be the kind of monster who can help Luffy. Zoro smiles and says, "I see..." while Hyouzou snarls that those lovely smiles make him want to slice them up.

Hyouzou rushes Zoro with his many blades, eager to cut through the swordsman and escape Zoro's barrier. He says it would be nice to bring back the most powerful swordsman on all of Fishman Island. Zoro waits with his swords drawn, unmoved by the threat, and answers, "You're not even enough... ...to keep me from getting bored!!!" The page ends with Zoro making clear that Hyouzou is not a real obstacle to him.

The SBS page includes Oda answering reader questions. A reader asks who Oda's rival among One Piece characters is; Oda jokes around and ends by comparing himself to Nami, claiming to be pretty much a pin-up model. Another reader asks whether Shirahoshi's birthday can be April 4 because of the wordplay in her name, and Oda simply says, "Sure." Other questions discuss Neptune's verbal tic, background shirts on Fishman Island, and how many people Shanks or other powerful Haki users could knock out compared with Luffy's fifty thousand. Oda explains that Haoshoku Haki depends on the power gap, the targets' will, battle experience, and the user's control.
