The title page for Chapter 603 displays the words "Chapter 603 Keep this in your heart" at the top. Below, Sanji in a black suit kneels and works on a massive lattice-top pie, surrounded by several cute striped squirrels that assist with baking tools, rolling pins, and ingredients in a whimsical forest clearing filled with swirling steam, oversized mushrooms, and scattered kitchenware. At the bottom, the fan request is printed: "Request: 'Sanji And Some Cute Squirrels Make A Pie' (pen-name NSC Hayao)".

In the lawless zone of the Shabondy Archipelago, a group of fake Straw Hat crew members dig desperately under a massive tree root while pleading for their lives. One cries, "WELL, O'COURSE IT IS! THIS ISLAND'S BASICALLY MADE OUTTA TREE ROOTS!" Others shout, "FORGIVE US, PLEASE!!! DON'T BURY US ALIVE!!!" and "BIG BRO DUDE!! THIS DIGGING IS HARD!!" A voice laughs, "KEHEHEHEH!! Y'SEE, WHAT WE FIGURED... WAS THAT IF WE JOINED UP WITH 'EM... THAT'D GIVE US THE CHANCE..." Another adds, "IT WAS OUR CAPTAIN...!! HE MADE US DO IT!! IT WAS ALL BLACK...!!" and "WE'LL DO ANYTHING, JUST PLEASE DON'T KILL US!" The scene turns violent as a cloaked figure attacks; someone yells, "STOP THIS, PLEASE!! YOU'LL KILL HIM!!!" while another screams, "AAAAAH HHHH!! DRIPP!!" A voice demands, "ARE YOU... A FRUIT-USERI!" The attacker declares, "...OF THAT VALUABLE STRAW HAT CREW FROM WITHIIIN!!" and "...TO SLAUGHTER EVERY LAST ONE..."

The cloaked attacker continues striking the fake crew with powerful blows marked by impact sounds "ビクン!!" and "ズブッ!!" Someone shouts, "I SAID QUIT IT ALREADY!!!" In the aftermath, the remaining fakes dig while muttering, "DIG-UH... DIG-UH..." A figure in a black coat observes and remarks, "BUT IN THE END... IT JUST TURNED OUT TO BE SOME PIECE-OF-SHIT FAKE...!!!" Another wonders, "Y'KNOW, I DID WONDER... WHETHER A GUY'S LOOKS COULD REALLY CHANGE THAT MUCH IN JUST TWO YEARS THAT STRAW HAT..." A panicked voice cries, "WH... WHAAAA AAAAI! A - A LOGIAI!" The black-coated man with a long nose declares, "...BUT NOW I'VE SEEN THE REAL STRAW HAT LUFFY......WITH MY OWN TWO EYES...!! KEHIHI!!!" while his crew echoes, "NOOOO OOOOO OOOO!!!" and "THAT'S RIGHT... WE'RE GONNA BURY THESE FOOLS... HEAR THAT, OH MIGHTY LORDI!! I'M GONNA BURY THESE FOOLS FOR YA!!!"

At Grove #46, the meeting point of the fake Straw Hats, a man reports, "THE MAN WHO STOPPED US WAS THE DARK KING - THE SAME MAN WHO ONCE STOPPED UNCLE KIZARU IN HIS TRACKS. WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO AGAINST THATI...THE SITUATION WAS INSURMOUNTABLE. AS I'VE TOLD YOU ALREADY..." The scene shifts to a devastated plaza where a large man with a spiked club sits among defeated Pacifistas and bodies. He states, "ALL THE REST OF THE OFFENDERS HAVE BEEN APPREHENDED, BUT THE REAL STRAW HATS HAVE DEALT SEVERE DAMAGE TO TWO OF THE PACIFISTAS. THE UNITS WERE PROTOTYPES... THE SAME ONES THAT CORNERED THE STRAW HATS TWO YEARS AGO. THEIR STRENGTH, OF COURSE, WAS THE SAME AS BACK THEN. THE ONLY ONES TO ESCAPE FROM THE PLAZA WERE THE CARIBOU BROTHERS AND THEIR CREW... ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF THE FAKE STRAW HATS." In close-up, a stern man with a scar declares, "YOU'D BETTER MAKE THIS NICE AND CLEAR TO MARINE HQ!!! THE STRAW HAT PIRATES ARE AT LARGE ONCE MORE...!!!" while another notes, "IT'S THE STRAW HATS THEMSELVES THAT HAVE CHANGED!! THE LEVEL OF GROWTH THEY DISPLAYED AFTER THESE TWO YEARS IN HIDING IS NOTHING SHORT OF INCREDIBLE!!!"

A woman with short black hair and a cigarette stares in surprise. "GONE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE..." Bubbles rise over a calm sea where a lone figure sits on the shore. The woman, now standing with Rayleigh, remarks, "I SUPPOSE SO..." Rayleigh replies with a thoughtful "HMMI" as she continues, "...ARE YOU... REMEMBERING SOMETHING, PERHAPS, RAY-SAN." "OF COURSE, I'M THEIR FAN, REMEMBERI" "...YOU WERE WATCHINGI" "MONKEY-CHAN AND THE OTHERS... HAVE ALL BECOME SO STRONG..." Rayleigh smiles, "YEAH..." Inside a wooden building, Rayleigh lounges as the woman leans back. "...RAYLEIGH. I SEE! WHAT'S YOUR NAMEI" Rayleigh answers, "MY HOUSE WAS BURNED DOWN, SO THIS IS WHERE I LIVE NOW." "...OH, THISI I STOLE IT..." A loud voice shouts from outside, "HEY!!! THAT'S SOME SHIP YOU'VE GOT THERE!"

A young man in a straw hat and sunglasses grins widely, flashing a peace sign. "THE WORLDI... HAHAHAH! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, ANYWAYI GET OUTTA HERE!!" "WHAT DO YOU SAY TO TURNING THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN WITH MEI!" "WELL, I'M ROGER!!!" "THIS MEETING MUST BE FATE, RAYLEIGH!!" Rayleigh sweats nervously in the background. Narration reads, "...MYSTERIOUS BONDS SLOWLY BUT SURELY WEAVE THEIR FORMS......AT ANY RATE... LUFFY HAS TAKEN ANOTHER STEP......IT MAY JUST BE THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COINCIDENCE IN THIS WORLD. AS THOUGH IT WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE..." Shakky smiles warmly at Rayleigh. "THAT BOY MAKES ME FEEL......LIKE LIVING ON FOR A WHILE LONGER..." Rayleigh reflects, "...TOWARDS BECOMING A MAN......WORTHY OF THAT HAT HE WEARS...!!"

A sign reads "SEA DEPTHS NEAR THE SHABONDY ARCHIPELAGO." The Thousand Sunny submarine descends through sunlit waters teeming with fish. "IT'S BEAUTIFUL!! YOU CAN'T GET A WINDOW THIS BIG ON A SUBMARINE, THAT'S FOR SURE!!!" "THE SURFACE IS SO FAR AWAY...!!" "WE'RE SINKING!! SINKING FURTHER DOWN!!" "IS THE WATER REALLY NOT GONNA GET INI! IT'S KINDA SCARY!!" Brook laughs, "YOHoho HOHO! TAKE A LOOK OVER TO THAT SIDE!!" Franky cheers, "THE SEA SURE IS PRETTY!!!" Usopp panics, "W - WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE SURFACE, RIGHTI! I MEAN...!! I - IT'S NOT AS THOUGH I'M SCARED OR ANYTHING, BUT..." Nami gazes ahead, "IT FEELS AS THOUGH WE'RE LEAVING THE HUMAN WORLD BEHIND... THIS IS SO EXCITING...!!"

Luffy shouts excitedly from the Sunny's deck, "A GRAND ADVENTURE IN THE OCEAN DEPTHS!!" "MAN, THIS IS EXCITING!!!!" "IT'S LIKE A DREAM!!" A massive sea creature looms ahead. "A TREE!!!" "NO... IT'S A ROOT!!" Someone notes, "THAT'S RIGHT. THE SHABONDY ARCHIPELAGO IS ACTUALLY A FOREST OF GIANT MANGROVES, AFTER ALL..." Brook adds, "THE WONDER OF NATURE IN ALL ITS GLORY!!!" The crew stares in awe at the enormous roots and fish. "I'VE SEEN IT ALREADY." "YEAH, WHEN YOU GOT ON THE WRONG SHIP!! SHUT UP!! WE'RE TRYING TO BE AWED HERE!!" "FORGET THAT - THERE'S SOMETHING BEHIND US!!" Luffy reaches out, "OOOH!! FISH!! I CAN ALMOST REACH THEM! GET HERE, YOU!!" A crewmate warns, "THERE'S SOMETHING HUGE BEHIND THAT TREE!!" Another adds, "THERE ARE SOME TASTY-LOOKING FISH OVER HERE, TOO..."

Sanji warns Nami, "NAMI-SAN. PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN THE DANGERS OF A COATING SHIP......BEFORE THESE TWO DO ANYTHING THEY WILL REGRET." The crew erupts in panic as someone yells, "I'LL KILL YOU, YOU ASSHOLES!!! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!" and "WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO IF THE BUBBLE BREAKSI!I!" while another shouts, "QUIT IT, WOULD YOUI!I!" Nami stands confidently in her striped bikini, holding up a memo and saying, "SURE, SANJI-KUN! I HAVE A MEMO FROM RAYLEIGH-SAN... SO LISTEN UP, EVERYONE!! I'LL EXPLAIN..." Sanji's nosebleed explodes violently; he rockets backward with hearts in his eyes as the crew screams, "SANJI!!!!!" and "SANJI BURST OUT INTO THE SEAAA!!!" Luffy gapes in shock while the ship’s mechanisms whirl. Someone cries, "IT'S GONNA POP, IT'S GONNA POP, IT'S GONNA POPPP!!" and "JUST HOW FAR IS THAT NOSEBLEED PROPELLING HIM-I!"

Luffy and Chopper yell in alarm, "SINCE WHEN ARE YOU SO... SENSITIVE TO WOMENI!!" and "JEEZ...!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, SANJII!! THIS ISN'T LIKE YOU!!" as Sanji is hauled back aboard with a massive nosebleed, shouting, "GET BACK HERE!!!" Inside the coated ship, the crew discusses the bubble’s limits. Robin notes, "AT ANY RATE, AS WE JUST SAW, IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS BUBBLE......IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE BUBBLES OF SHABONDY, YESI" while Usopp worries about blood types and Franky shivers. Nami continues explaining, "WELL, WHAT WOULD POP IT, THENI THE BUBBLE STILL WOULDN'T POP!" as a shark attacks the coating from outside and someone screams, "AAAAHH! LOOK OUT! BEHIND US!" Nami points and adds, "THAT'S RIGHT! THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME! THEY'LL STRETCH TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, BUT GO ANY FURTHER AND YOU JUST BURST THROUGH!"

A massive sea king lunges at the coated ship, jaws wide, as the crew screams, "AAAAGHH HHHH!!" Narration explains the bubble’s fragility: cracks in the mast or hull would break it, and holes from attacks or crashes would doom the vessel. Nami continues, "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENS TO THEMI!!" while Usopp reads, "'BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE 70% OF SHIPS SAILING FOR FISHMAN ISLAND ARE SUNK BEFORE THEY EVER GET THERE.'" Sanji recovers dramatically, yelling, "I'LL SERIOUSLY KILL YOU BOTH!!!! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!" Luffy grins and declares, "LET'S HAVE A CONTEST, THEN—SEE WHO CAN GET THE MOST!" while aiming his weapon, "HEY, I BET I COULD GRAB ALL THOSE FISH IF I USED MY GATLING!!" The crew reacts with shock and excitement inside the bubble.

SINCE SANJI'S LIKE THAT AT THE MOMENT, WHY DON'T WE ALL TUCK IN-I!" Franky reveals, "NO... I'M AFRAID... *BZZT* I AM AFRAID THAT IS INCORRECT. ALL YOUR ROBOTIC SECRETSI!!" as the crew reacts in awe. Nami asks, "NAMI...!! IS THE SHIP SETTLED DOWN AT THIS POINTI" Outside the bubble, narration recounts how Hachi was wounded guiding them and the Thousand Sunny was attacked by Marines. The crew wonders, "WHATI! BUT THEN... HOW COME THE SHIP HAS BEEN SAFE FROM THEN UP UNTIL NOWI" and "BECAUSE IT HAD ONE MORE DEFENDER......"

A close-up shows a scarred, bandaged man with a spotted hat glaring intensely as he exclaims, "...BARTHOLOMEW KUMA!!" and "THE VERY MAN WHO TORE OUR CREW APART TWO YEARS AGO... MEMBER OF THE ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI..." Crew members react in shock with "!!I" and "I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES...!!!" A few days ago when I first arrived at the Sunny..." In a massive splash panel, the towering figure of Bartholomew Kuma sits heavily on the ground amid scattered weapons and debris, his massive form covered in scars and a tattered outfit marked with a cross and "BIBLE." A small figure with tools on its back stands nearby as impact lines and floating bubbles fill the air. A radiant speech bubble declares, "HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU..."

Kuma's massive form looms as he states, "MISSION... COMPLETE..." while a crewmate yells, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOINGI!!!" A close-up of the scarred man reveals, "THERE WASN'T A SINGLE SCRATCH ON THE SUNNY." Kuma stands facing the group in the distance. The scarred man continues, "I THINK YOU MAY ALL HAVE REALISED THIS TO AN EXTENT......BUT THAT MAN SAVED OUR LIVES BACK THERE!!" Multiple overlapping bubbles explain, "I AM ONE OF THE LEADING MEMBERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY. I HAVE MY REASONS FOR WISHING TO HELP THIS CREW ESCAPE THIS PLACE......HE TOLD ME WHAT KUMA HAD TOLD HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT BATTLE BACK THEN... AND WHEN I ASKED RAYLEIGH ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS..." In a bar setting, further dialogue reveals Kuma's cyborg modifications, erased personality, and final visit to Rayleigh: "...KUMA-SAN VISITED RAYLEIGH WITH MORE TO TELL."

The scarred man explains, "TO 'PROTECT THE SHIP OF THE STRAW HAT PIRATES UNTIL THE DAY ONE OF THEIR MEMBERS RETURNS'....HAD ALLOWED HIM TO INCLUDE A SINGLE MISSION OF HIS OWN IN THE PROGRAMMING. THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS 'RESTRUCTURING', DR. VEGAPUNK......BUT THEN...!! HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE KNOWN WHAT WE WOULD DO AFTER HE'D SENT US OFF TO ALL THOSE DIFFERENT PLACES!!" Nami questions, "DID HE WAIT WITH THE SHIP DESPITE THATI! EVEN THOUGH HIS PERSONALITY WAS GONEI!" The crew discusses Kuma's connection to the Revolutionary Army and Luffy's father. A wide panel shows the Thousand Sunny docked at a massive structure as voices conclude, "I DON'T SEE ANY WAY FOR US TO FIND OUT WHAT HE WAS TRULY THINKING AT THIS POINT... IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE END, WE'VE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO SPEND THESE TWO VALUABLE YEARS APART......BECAUSE THAT MAN CHOSE TO FIGHT IN OUR STEAD...!!!"
