A clock reads 12:28 AM with the note "32 MINUTES UNTIL THE MEET-UP ON CACAO ISLAND". Voices question the situation: "ARE YOU REALLY ASKING THAT...I!" and "IS IT POSSIBLE THAT KATAKURI COULD LOSEI" Someone cries "OUCH!! PUNCH". In a crowded scene, figures debate: "IF WE THINK ABOUT HIS PROMISE TO MEET STRAW HAT ON CACAO ISLAND AT 1 AM FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE..." "...IF I WERE STRAW HAT, HERE'S WHAT I WOULD DO." "OWWWW!!" "THAT'S RIGHT, YOU IDIOT!! BIG BROTHER KATAKURI IS THE PERFECT MAN!!" "FROM THE BEGINNING, THAT POSSIBILITY HAS BEEN NON-EXISTENT!!" "HIS CREW WON'T ARRIVE UNTIL 1 AM." A small hooded figure smiles and declares "THAT MAKES SENSE...!! BIG SIS BRÛLÉE IS MISSING RIGHT NOW, AFTER ALL!" A long-haired figure in a scarf concludes: "IN EITHER THE MIRRO-WORLD OR ON ANOTHER ISLAND...!! AND WAIT FOR THE TIME TO PASS... TO THE MIRRO-WORLD, BIG SISTER BRÛLÉE....SO IF I WAS STRAW HAT, I'D CAPTURE THE ONLY 'KEY'."

A cloaked figure with a clock-like weapon gestures: "THAT'S RIGHT... IN OTHER WORDS, HE WILL RUN AWAY FROM THE DUEL WITH KATAKURI..." Background voices add: "AND AT 1 AM ON THE DOT..." "IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT STRAW HAT LUFFY WILL APPEAR FROM THIS MIRROR." A hooded man sits with hands bound, thinking: "IF LUFFY ISN'T ABLE TO LOSE THEM AS SOON AS HE COMES OUT... IT'LL BE THE END OF BOTH OF US." Nearby, a small figure remarks "THAT'S WHY SHE'S SO EASY TO CAPTURE..." while others reply "BIG SIS BRÛLÉE IS TOO CLUMSY..." "I SEE... I AGREE." A distant observer wonders: "ARE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE FIGHTERS...I"

In a ruined street, Sanji calls out desperately from a distance, "HEY, PUDDING-CHAN... WHEN LUFFY COMES OUT... WE'LL HAVE TO PART WAYS RIGHT HERE..." A small figure sits alone as someone wonders, "CAN YOU EVEN HEAR ME!I PUDDING-CHAN!" and notes, "SHE'S SO FAR AWAY!!" with a heart and "DAAAZZZE" sound. The next day, Sanji smiles and says, "TOMORROW. LET'S GET MARRIED..." while Pudding reacts with shock, "!!!" as onlookers exclaim, "LADY PUDDING!! THIS IS YOUR FIANCÉE." Pudding cries out, "I...!!! I'M THE ONE WHO TRIED TO DECEIVE YOU AND TRIED TO KILL YOU... SO PLEASE DON'T THANK ME, SANJI-SAN!!! I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE THANKFUL!! I NEED TO APOLOGIZE PROPERLY!!!" Sanji reaches out with a heart, replying, "...IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR US TO SAY GOODBYE...! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING." Pudding yells, "SHUT UP!!" Sanji reacts, "EH!I" Looking back, he adds, "LOOKING BACK, WE SURE MET IN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES..."

Sanji grins widely and declares, "WAS YOU, PUDDING-CHAN. I'M GLAD THAT MY FIANCÉE..." while reflecting, "THE WEDDING WAS A TRAP... AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS ALL A BIG SHOW PUT ON BY THE BIG MOM PIRATES... AHAHA, WELL, WE'RE ENEMIES, AFTER ALL." Pudding sobs, "AH...NO, I WASN'T TRYING TO MAKE FUN OF YOU...!!" as Sanji pleads, "NO... DON'T CRY, STOP CRYING!" Pudding breaks down with tears streaming, "UUUGGGHHH... HH...!!!" In a quiet moment, Pudding, eyes swollen from crying, says, "I HAVE A REQUEST...!!! I HAVE JUST ONE LAST... REQUEST...!!" Sanji turns with "HMI" as she calls, "H... HEY, SANJI!! -SAN" with a heart.

A fierce fighter with a scarf glares intensely amid motion lines and sweat. Explosions rock a checkered floor as debris flies everywhere. A massive spiked club smashes through the ground with tremendous force, shattering tiles and sending shockwaves outward. A clock on the wall reads 12:37 AM. The attacker swings the weapon repeatedly, each impact marked by heavy sound effects and flying rubble as the battlefield is torn apart.

The fighter leaps through the air firing a weapon with "FWIP!" sounds amid cracking stone. Massive explosions erupt with "CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!" and "ZUZU...!!" effects, sending smoke and debris everywhere. The powerful figure lands heavily, huffing with exertion as "HUFF..." escapes his mouth. The battlefield is devastated by the relentless assault, with the fighter standing amid the ruins, breathing heavily.

Massive explosions tear through the checkered ruins as a spiky-haired man with a scarred face reels from the blasts, eyes wide and teeth bared in pain. "ゴゴゴゴ" and "ドドド" rumble across the panels while debris and smoke fill the air. A heavy "THUD" sounds as rubble crashes down. The clock ticks steadily with "SFX: TICK TOCK" and "チチ..." as time advances. The man is hurled backward again amid further blasts marked "ゴゴッ" and "ゴオオ", his face twisted in agony as the ground shakes beneath him.

The crew finally reaches Whole Cake Island at 12:40 AM. "WE FINALLY MADE IT TO THIS MOMENT!!" A massive ship shaped like a grotesque face looms before the candy-like structures. Morgans and other journalists react with shock. "WE'RE SENDING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OUR FORCES...!!! IT MAY LOOK EMBARRASSING, BUT IT'LL QUASH THAT ONE IN A MILLION CHANCE!" "THROW OUT ANY HAVE YOU A SCOOP...!!! BE QUIET, MORGANS!!" "IT'LL BE UNBELIEVABLE BIG NEWS!!" Big Mom's massive face appears as she declares, "HOW VULGAR... YOU DON'T NEED TO GO SO FAR..." A hooded woman laughs, "HAHA! DON'T BE STUPID, THIS IS ALMOST TOO KIND!!" An old man with a long mustache growls, "AND WHEN THEY'RE CAPTURED... WE'LL EXECUTE ALL OF THEM AND LINE THEIR HEADS UP FOR DISPLAY. RECORD THAT SCENE TOMORROW!!! IT'LL SERVE AS A WARNING!!" He adds, "EVEN IF THE ONE TO APPEAR FROM THE MIRROR... WAS THE PIRATE KING GOLD ROGER HIMSELF... HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET AWAY!!!"

At 12:43 AM the sea rages as the ship approaches the island. "WE MAY HAVE ALL COME FROM DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT AT LEAST IN THE FACE OF DEATH... WE SHOULD STAY TOGETHER." "DON'T FALTER NOW!!" "LET'S THROW THE CAKE OFF AND ESCAPE ALREADY!!" "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, FATHER!! WE'RE AT OUR LIMIT!! WE'LL BE DONE IN BEFORE WE REACH THE ISLAND!" A massive sea creature emerges with "ゴゴゴ". Inside the mirror dimension at 12:45 AM, the group debates: "I DON'T THINK LUFFY IS THE TYPE OF MAN THAT CAN TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT..." "IF HE WINS THE DUEL, AND BRÛLÉE ISN'T THERE, HE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE MIRRO-WORLD." "...BUT WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS THE 'KEY' OF THE MIRRO-WORLD, BRÛLÉE..." "WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THERE BY 1 AM!!" Chopper and others react in panic, "THAT'S RIGHT!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!" "IT'S DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE, WHAT SHOULD WE DOI!" "WHAT WORRIES ME IS HE EVEN KNOWS THE MEETING TIME..."

At 12:47 AM the clock advances as massive destruction continues. A huge impact "しーん" shakes the ruins. Enormous fingers burst from the ground amid "ガラガラ" and "BOINNNG" sounds. Explosions rip through the checkered structures with "ぼてー..." and "ボゴッ!!" as debris flies everywhere. The spiky-haired man remains amid the chaos while the clock ticks onward.

Luffy lies battered on the ruined ground as a voice commands, "LISTEN CAREFULLY, LUFFY!" Nearby, the towering figure pants heavily with repeated "HUFF..." and "ずり... ずり..." sounds. The instructions continue in speech bubbles: "LET'S MEET UP THERE!! SEARCH FOR THE MIRROR THAT LEADS TO CACAO ISLAND!! AFTER YOU KNOCK HIM DOWN... THE MEETING TIME IS 1 AM TONIGHT." Luffy, still on the ground, looks up in shock at the massive man standing over him. The man asks, "HUFF... HUFF... WHAT TIME IS IT... RIGHT NOW...I"

The large man looms as Luffy questions, "...TO DEFEAT BIG MOM...I" The man replies, "HUFF... SOMEDAY... WILL YOU... COME BACK HERE..." Luffy rises with fierce determination, declaring, "I AM THE MAN... WHO WILL BE THE PIRATE KING!!!" The man answers, "HUFF... OF COURSE!" Luffy then stares intensely, saying, "YOU'RE LOOKING... PRETTY FAR INTO THE FUTURE...!!!" as the man lies defeated on the ground with "SPURT!!" effects and impact lines.

Luffy stands in shock as the massive man crashes backward onto the rubble with dramatic impact effects and motion lines. The defeated man pants "HUFF..." while Luffy watches from a distance. Smaller panels show close-ups of the man's striped outfit and Luffy's surprised expression amid the destroyed checkered landscape.

On a ship near Cacao Island at 12:50 AM, Sanji in a hooded cloak says, "DON'T GET CLOSE TO THE FLEET WAITING AT THE COAST. I'LL DEFINITELY BRING LUFFY BACK OVER TO THE SHIP!!" A crewmate spots the island: "I SEE CACAO ISLAND!!" Time advances to 12:55 AM. Elsewhere, a crowd reacts in panic as a mysterious figure named Nazoms appears, shouting, "IT'S BROLEEEE!! STRAW HAA!! WHAT FOUL TRICKS DID YOU USE FOR BIG BROTHER KATAKURI TO...!!!" Nazoms declares, "I HAVE CAPTURED BROLÉE AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU IN ORDER TO HELP YOU ESCAPE FROM HERE!!!" while proclaiming himself "THE MYSTERIOUS SAVIOUR NAZOMS". Luffy is shown reacting with surprise amid the chaos. The page ends with "...CH.896 /END" and a note that a critical moment is to be continued.
