The colorful volume cover for One Piece displays Nami in the center, pink hair flowing as she smiles and points upward with one finger. To her left stands an older man with white hair and scars, and to her right a large mustached man in a red hat. Below, Luffy sits cross-legged in his straw hat and red shirt, while a black silhouette figure and a small inset panel show a dark-haired woman in glasses alongside a roaring tiger-like creature. The One Piece logo arcs across a rainbow with the Straw Hat skull, and the author credit reads Eiichiro Oda.

His mouth is open wide in a shout, eyes bulging with excitement. A small bird wearing a pirate hat perches atop the unfurled ONE PIECE banner above him. Text on the left reads Volume 66 The Path Towards the Sun.

Explosions and impacts rock the area as fighters clash amid clouds of smoke and debris. A swordsman in a black coat swings his blade with a loud KA-CHINK!, sending shockwaves through the air while a massive fish-like creature reels from the strike. Nearby, a long-nosed man in a top hat shouts, "LOOK OUT ABOVE!! EVERYBODY RUN FOR IT!!!" Smaller panels show close-ups of snarling fish-men warriors and a stern man with a black headband glaring forward. On the right, a cloaked figure stands amid the chaos as screams echo: "AAAAA AGHHHH HHHH!!!" and frantic onomatopoeia fill the panels. The fish-men leaders react in shock, one yelling about the incredible strength displayed as bodies are sent flying.
Wadatsumi plummets backward with a massive crash as the Straw Hats react in the plaza. Chopper yells, "YOU'RE MAKING MY GIANT ROBOT LOOK SMALL!!" while Sanji replies, "CHOPPER, SHRINK YOURSELF DOWN A BIT, WOULD YOUI" Franky cheers, "FRANKY!! YOUR BEAM WAS THE AWESOMEST!!!" Nami flatly answers a request with "NO THANKS." A tall horned fish-man threatens, "SHADDUP!! YOU WANT ME TO DROP HIM ON YOUR HEAD THIS TIMEI!!" Sanji retorts, "KICK HIM A BIT FURTHER NEXT TIME, DUMBASS CHEF." Brook and others watch the giant robot and falling enemy amid swirling clouds and debris. Smaller panels show panicked citizens and earlier moments of the battle.

Panic spreads through the plaza as the massive Noah ship looms overhead. A woman screams "AAAAA AAGHH HH!!" while citizens shout, "THE WHOLE ISLAND'S GONNA BE CRUSHED!!!" and "RUN FOR IT!! WE CAN'T GET TRAPPED IN THIS PLAZA!!" Others cry, "THOSE LEADERS ARE ALL OUT FOR THE COUNT!! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!!!" A fish-man yells, "WAS IT TOO MUCH FOR EVEN YOUI!! STRAW HAT!!!" and "IS IT TOO LATE FOR US ALLI!!" Luffy's voice rings out, "STRAW HAAAAT!!!" A large caption declares, "THE NOAH IS ALMOST HERE!!!" as the enormous vessel descends, casting shadows over the fleeing crowd and coral-filled landscape below.

Luffy stands with a grim expression as chaos erupts around him. A massive close-up shows his eyes widening in fury while he unleashes a thunderous roar: "HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Someone cries out, "LUFFY-SAN!!" In the background, the giant robot and various fighters are hurled through the air amid swirling debris and impact lines. The Noah continues its descent, filling the sky as the ground shakes violently beneath the panicked crowd.

Fish-men and citizens watch anxiously as Luffy faces the massive Noah. A worried mermaid cries out, "BUT IF HE DOESN'T MAKE IT..." Another voice adds, "IF HE CAN REALLY DESTROY THE NOAH, THIS ISLAND WILL BE SAVED..." Luffy stands firm with his back to the crowd. The fish-men roar in support: "DON'T GIVE IN, STRAW HAT!!" "FISHMAN ISLAND WILL BE DESTROYED!!!" They declare, "WE WON'T RUN WHEN A HUMAN LIKE YOU IS FIGHTING FOR US!!!" and "WE'RE STAYING RIGHT HERE WHERE WE ARE!!" The crowd erupts with cheers: "WE ALL BELIEVE IN YOU!!!" "DON'T GIVE IN, STRAW HAAAT!!!" "FISHMAN ISLAND IS IN YOUR HANDS!!" "GO FOR IT, BIG BRO STRAW HAAAT!!!" One fish-man mutters, "STRAW HAT...!!!" Massive impact effects shake the scene as the Noah looms.

Luffy pants heavily while clinging to the structure, shouting "STOP RIGHT THERE, STUPID SHIP!!" The crowd below continues chanting "STRAW HAT!!!" repeatedly. Explosions and debris erupt as Luffy battles the massive vessel. Shirahoshi appears, her voice filled with pain: "THOUGH IT PAINS ME TO ACCEPT THIS, THE SAFETY OF MY PEOPLE MUST COME FIRST..." She continues, "I MUST APOLOGISE... IT SEEMS THAT THE PROMISE CAN NO LONGER BE FULFILLED... JO YBOY..." and "THE NOAH MUST BE DESTROYED...!!! I'M SORRY, FATHER... THIS IS THE ONLY WAY..." Luffy is hurled through the air amid massive impacts. Shirahoshi cries desperately, "STOP RIGHT THERE!!!" and finally screams, "STOP RIGHT THERE, NOAH!!!"

Luffy is slammed violently against a structure, yelling "AHH!!!" as stars and impact lines burst around him. A large "STOP!!!" echoes. Startled fish-men shout, "WHO'S THEREI!!!!" Luffy pants in confusion. Shirahoshi bursts onto the scene, tears streaming, screaming "LUFFY-SAMA!!" and "LUFFY-SAMA!! PLEASE, YOU MUST STOP...!" A massive sea creature coils nearby as chaos erupts around them.

Shirahoshi coils protectively around Luffy with her massive tail, reaching out and shouting, "YOU MUST STOP THIS AT ONCE!!!" Luffy reacts with shock. Below, fish-men react in panic. Shirahoshi pleads, "OF COURSE I DO!!! WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE DOWN THEREI!!!" and "NO!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!!!" A fish-man warns, "CRY-HOSHI!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! IF I DON'T DESTROY THIS SHIP, THE ISLAND WILL BE -!!!!" Shirahoshi cries out in anguish as the Noah continues its approach.

Luffy pants heavily in close-up, eyes wide with shock. "*PANT*" A voice cries out, "UWAAAAAHHH!! LUFFY-SAMA GOT ANGRY WITH ME...!!" Shirahoshi sobs amid bubbles, "THE SEA KINGS!! BUT HOW...I!" Someone snaps, "HEY!! THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR CRYING!!" Below, chained Sea Kings strain forward as one declares, "...I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND IT MYSELF... BUT... THE NOAH IS NO LONGER FALLING..." The massive ship has halted mid-descent. A final voice shouts, "...HAS ALREADY STOPPED...!!!" Luffy stares in disbelief while the Sea Kings hold the colossal Noah in place with thick chains.

Luffy clutches his chest, panting, "...ALL... ALL RIGHT THEN... I GUESS THE SHIP HAS STOPPED..." Shirahoshi reaches toward him, tears streaming, "LUFFY-SAMA...!! YOUR WOUNDS ARE WIDE OPEN... YOU'RE COVERED IN BLOOD!" Luffy answers weakly, "AAH HH..." A small voice replies, "AS LONG AS EVERYONE'S... OKAY..." The Sea Kings speak in unison: "IF WE HAD ARRIVED ANY LATER, THE ISLAND MAY HAVE BEEN SAVED......BUT THE NOAH WOULD HAVE BEEN SHATTERED BEYOND REPAIR...!!!" "A STRONG HUMAN INDEED..." "...WELL, DAMN... THAT'S QUITE SOME HUMAN..."

Shirahoshi weeps, "BUT YOU DID, YOU GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE STRAW HAT BOY'S POWERFUL EMOTIONS... AND YOU MADE A WISH. I WAS JUST SO SAD...!!!" The Sea Kings respond, "...I! WHAT...I! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING...!" "...CALLED US ALL HERE IN TIME..." "THANK GOODNESS PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI... THANK GOODNESS WE MADE IT." Below, the Sea Kings explain, "THE SEA KINGS HAVE STOPPED THE SHIP!!" "WHAT'S GOING ON...I!" "WE ANSWERED YOUR CALL... AND LENT HIM OUR STRENGTH. OUR POWER IS YOUR POWER....YOU COULD HAVE THE STRENGTH TO COME TO HIS AID. YOU WISHED THAT, JUST AS HE PROTECTS THE ISLAND..."

The crowd on Fish-Man Island erupts in joy. "BUT FISHMAN ISLAND IS SAFE!!!!" Massive lettering proclaims the Noah's halt. Citizens cheer wildly, raising hands and weapons. Luffy lies unconscious, eyes closed. Shirahoshi embraces him tightly in relief. A voice declares, "THE NOAH HAS NOT BEEN DESTROYED!!!" Another adds, "BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE... I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN WHAT JUST HAPPENED...!!!" The final panel shows the Noah suspended safely above the island as the people celebrate, "THE NOAH IS STOPPED!!!"

The page opens with the SBS Corner header and a large illustration of a distorted, melting figure with multiple circular holes and the word 'Us' repeated. Reader D greets Oda and claims to be a psychic predicting the start of SBS. O reacts with shock. D then asks crude questions about Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru's anatomy, prompting O to yell 'STOPIIIIT---!!' in frustration. D inquires about a New World Nami hugging pillow, and O denies any involvement in merchandise. Small panels show Admiral Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru with their names. Another panel depicts a fish avatar and a kraken being turned into takoyaki. D asks about Oda's fish avatar and the number of takoyaki from a kraken, with O replying it would make a million packs. The page ends with the number 26.
