The chapter title page displays the One Piece logo above the text "CHAPTER 381: FIRED!". Below, a bustling town square scene unfolds beneath a massive Marine announcement banner that reads: "TO HER THREE B.W. ACCOMPLICES: TURN YOURSELVES IN AT THE WEST DOCK BEFORE TWILIGHT, OR MISS VALENTINE WILL BE HANGED. MARINE HQ". Three wanted posters are posted beneath it, showing Miss Valentine and two other figures. In the foreground, a furious man with sunglasses, a striped shirt, and a scar on his face shouts at the top of his lungs, sweat flying: "THE NAME OF MISS GOLDENWEEK'S STRATEGY 'MEET BAROQUE' VOL.17 'TURN YOURSELVES IN!'" A diverse crowd of civilians and pirates reacts with shock, confusion, and alarm around him, some pointing and others staring at the posters.
In a chaotic street battle, a Marine officer yells while aiming his weapon: "HE'S THE STRAW HAT'S UNDERLING, 'PIRATE HUNTER ZORO'!!!" Another Marine adds, "HEY!! I'VE HEARD OF THAT SWORDSMAN!" Zoro stands calmly in the center as a massive impact sound effect "どん!!" erupts. A voice retorts, "THAT'S STILL BETTER THAN BEING THE NAMELESS... PIRATE 'A'." From the side, a tall figure in a black coat and top hat smirks, "HEHEHE... THEY CALLED YOU AN 'UNDERLING'." Below, more fighters clash amid debris and smoke. One combatant growls, "DON'T MIND THEM, SOGEKING." Another shouts, "HEY! STOP FIGHTING!" A third declares, "IF I GET A BOUNTY, I'LL BE WORTH TWICE AS MUCH AS YOU!!!" The reply comes: "DAMN YOU!!!" followed by "FINE, 'B' THEN." and "WHAT'D YOU SAY!!!I" A small "OW." escapes amid the fray as swords clash and figures tumble.
Panic erupts as agents spot the escaping train. "HEY, WAIT!!!" one shouts. "BLOW'EM TO BITS, ALONG WITH THE TRAIN!!!" another orders. "THERE MUST BE MORE!!" "THEY FOUND US!!!" "LOOK!! CRIMINALS FROM INSIDE THE TRAIN!!!" A small figure with an X-marked hat stands amid smoke and rubble. "NAMI-SAN IS STILL INSIDE!!" someone cries. The massive locomotive erupts in a colossal explosion, black smoke and debris blasting outward as the structure collapses. Agents fire wildly from the ground. "OO-WAAH!!!" one screams. "!!I" Franky, marked "FRANKY" on his back, reacts in shock amid the chaos. The train car tumbles violently with loud "カラカラ..." and "ゴゴゴゴ..." rumbling sounds, ending in a sharp "CLACK!" as terrified voices wail "AA AAA AH!!!" from inside.

Amid the wreckage, Sogeking emerges from the smoke. "I... I'M FINE!!!" he calls. "ARE YOU OKAY, SOGEKING!I" a voice asks. "AH! THAT SCARED..." Sogeking replies with a startled "HUHI" as impact lines and "ばん!!" burst around him. An agent in a top hat and coat yells, "LOOK OVER THERE!!!" "WHY!I" another demands. "CEASE FIRE!!!" the order rings out. Below, a massive curly-haired man in a top hat looms over a small girl and rabbit-like creature. "WE'RE DEFENSELESS —!!" the girl cries. "NYA NYA!!!" the rabbit shouts. The large man pleads, "AND I'M JUST A KID WITH A SMALL ANIMAL!!" while another figure adds, "STOP!! I'M JUST AN OLD LADY!!" as the confrontation intensifies.

Marines stare in shock at the chaos around them. One exclaims, "COULD THERE BE A DRUNKER HOSTAGE...!!I" while another shouts, "THE STRAW HATS FORCED US TO PILOT THE TRAIN FOR THEM!!" with a hiccup and wild laughter "NGA GAGA!!!" In the next panels, confused voices react to the strange smoke: "HUHI THE SMOKE IS HOVERING THERE LIKE A CLOUD..." accompanied by "PUFF PUFF" and another "HUHI" A furious Marine yells, "THEY TOOK AN OLD LADY, A KID, AND A SMALL ANIMAL AS HOSTAGES! THESE PIRATES ARE SHAMELESS!!" as another adds, "THAT WAS ALMOST KILLED THE HOSTAGES." Below, Nami crouches on a weaponized bike contraption, gripping the handles tightly. Someone calls out, "AH!! NAMI-SAN, YOU'RE SAFE!!" She focuses as narration explains, "THE WATER VAPOR IN THE AIR TURNS INTO A CLOUD...!!!" and "WHEN HEAT BUBBLES MIX WITH COOL BUBBLES..."

Nami stands with her back to the viewer, raising her weapon high. "WITH THE POWER OF THUNDER!!" she declares, then turns with a confident smile, saying, "LET'S TRY IT OUT ON YOU GUYS..." Close-up on her face as she continues, "BOTH ITS SPEED AND POWER ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE!" and "THIS PERFECT CLIMA TACT IS AMAZING!!!" A massive thunderbolt erupts with the cry "THUNDER BOLT TEMPO!!!" Marines in the distance react in alarm: "WHAT'S THAT GIRL DOINGI" The attack lands in a devastating explosion of lightning and debris. Victims scream "GYAA AAAA AAAH!!!" amid the massive sound effect "ドカァァァァァァァァァァ!!!" as bodies and weapons are blasted apart.

Sogeking is blasted backward in a spray of impact stars, crying out "SOGE-KING—!!! OW—!!" as he tumbles. A voice exclaims, "I ALMOST DIED!" while another declares, "IT HURTS BOTH FRIEND AND FOE!!" A close-up shows a tear-streaked face screaming in agony with the sound "ああああ". In the next row, a masked figure with goggles mutters "..." and "HOWEVER...". Nami stands with her staff raised, confronting a horned man who clutches his head. She snaps, "NAMI, WHY'D YOU HIT SOGEKING—!!!" The horned man retorts, "YOU'RE THE ONE TO BLAME FOR USING IT SO RECKLESSLY!!!!" and "JUST CALL IT A HUNCH." Someone adds, "PLUS, USOPP-KUN SAID HE NEVER DESIGNED IT TO BE USED LIKE THAT!!!" The massive lower panel erupts in a colossal explosion marked "ばんっ!!!" as the weapon devastates a crowd of armored soldiers amid a sprawling fortress city. A voice notes, "THAT'S A REALLY POWERFUL WEAPON....." while another states, "IT BEAT QUITE A FEW OF THEM!"

Sogeking dramatically points at Nami, shouting "NAMI-SAN, YOU REMINDED ME OF HOW IT FELT WHEN WE FIRST MET!" with hearts floating nearby and the sound "くラアアアア!!!". He continues, "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD APOLOGIZE, IDIOT!!!" and "HURRY AND APOLOGIZE, SOGEKING!". Nami yells back, "DAMN IT, NAMI!!!! YOU HIT US, TOO!!!". A large "ばんっ!!!" explosion rocks the background. Below, the horned man and a goggled figure watch the fortress gates as one says, "CLEARLY, SHE'S ONE OF THEIR MAIN FIGHTERS!!" and another wonders, "WH... WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THEMI" and "I THOUGHT THAT GIRL WAS JUST ALONG FOR SUPPORT, BUT...". In the bottom panel Nami stands with Chopper, Sanji, and a suited man. She remarks, "DUNNO... THIS ISLAND ISN'T SMALL... SO, IF WE HAVE TO SEARCH..." while the suited man muses, "... I WONDER WHERE THAT IDIOT WHO RUSHED IN FIRST IS...".

From a high vantage overlooking Enies Lobby, several figures watch a massive explosion erupt from one of the island's towers, sending debris and smoke into the sky. A voice declares, "WE SHOULD START THERE!!!" Below, the Straw Hats prepare to move: Chopper, Nami, Sanji, and Usopp stand ready. Nami shouts, "LET'S GO!" Sanji adds, "NOW THEN..." In a lower panel, a masked Marine officer with a sword glares furiously, declaring, "THEIR ACTIONS HERE ARE DEFINITELY UNFORGIVABLE!" Beside him another Marine growls, "GRRR...!!! HOW DARE THESE PIRATES CAUSE A RUCKUS ON ENIES LOBBY!I"

A massive Marine swings a huge weapon with a fierce battle cry, "OR-YAA!!!" The strike lands with a resounding "WHACK!!!" sending smaller Marines flying in all directions amid swirling impact lines and debris. One Marine yelps, "OH-WAAH —!!" while another nearby grunts, "UNI!" In the chaos below, Luffy is slammed hard into the ground by the giant attacker, the impact marked by bold SFX "ドドドド" as Luffy gasps, "GEH HAA!!!" A small inset map labels the location "ENIES LOBBY ISLAND CENTER."

Luffy's arm stretches back as he shouts "GOMU GOMU...!!!" while an enemy lunges with a spear, yelling "SPEAR!!!" and "GEHO!!!" The massive impact erupts in a huge "ドドドドン!!!" explosion. Below, soldiers in the city square react in shock as one cries "HE JUMPED INTO THE TREE!!" with a "KSH!" sound. Luffy crashes through another attacker in a violent "ばちん!!!" strike, sending the foe flying with an "OO WAH!!!" scream. In the foreground Luffy glares furiously, sweat flying, and yells "THEY JUST KEEP COMING!! I'M STUCK HERE!!" while panting "HAA... THOSE STUPID SOLDIERS...... HAA..."

A soldier shouts "THE PIRATES HAVE BREACHED THE GATE!!! WE MUST STOP THEM!!!" and orders "SEND HALF OF OUR MEN TO THE FRONT GATE!!!" Luffy looks surprised, muttering "HUHI" as another voice notes "THEY'RE LEAVINGI" Luffy's face lights up with excitement: "GREAT! NOW, THIS SHOULD BE FUN!" and "THEY'RE HERE!I" In the lower panels, soldiers fire cannons with a "ゴォオ" blast, missing as one yells "YOU MISSED!!!" and "HE'S OVER THERE —!!!" Another curses "DAMN IT!" Luffy grins and answers "OKAY!" before another massive "OO-WAH!!" and "ドドドドン" explosion rocks the battlefield.

At the base of the front gate of Enies Lobby, a massive force of the Houbantai charges forward with war cries. "THE HOUBANTAI KNOWS NO FAILURE!!!" "WE WERE ORDERED TO DEFEND THIS GATE!!!" Soldiers on horseback and ferocious dogs surge ahead under a dramatic diagram labeling the gate structure. A towering armored commander with a spiked helmet roars at the front, "IT'S OVER, YOU VILLAINS!!!" while his troops echo, "NO ONE SHALL PASS THIS LINE OF DEFENSE!!!" The defenders' massive animals and troops press the attack with heavy impact SFX. Suddenly a voice cuts through: "WAIT!!!" In the next panel Sanji, Zoro, and a small figure in a top hat stand amid the chaos as the small figure exclaims, "THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM!!!" The defenders' momentum halts momentarily at the unexpected arrival.
A massive horned beast barrels through the defenders with tremendous force, sending soldiers and debris flying. "BAHI HIHI!!!" "GET ON!!!" "OO-WOAH —!!" The creature smashes the line as impact lines and dust clouds erupt everywhere. The armored commander, now in close-up, shouts furiously at the intruders, "THIS ISN'T WHERE YOU SHOULD BE!!!" Nearby, Sanji yells, "DON'T FORGET WHY WE'RE HERE!!" while a young woman with short hair and a small creature cry out in relief, "WE'RE SAVED —!!" The beast's rampage breaks the defensive formation, allowing the group to push forward through the gate.
The Franky Family surges forward in a chaotic charge across the battlefield. "WE'RE GONNA CHARGE FORWARD!!!" "GRAB THE ROPES!!!" someone yells amid the frenzy. "HE'S RIGHT. THERE ARE ENOUGH HERE TO KEEP US FIGHTING UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN." A voice adds, "..." as allies scramble. "BRU-RURU—!!!" echoes with impact lines. "WOAH!!" cries ring out while figures tumble. "THEY'RE RUNNING AWAY!!" another shouts. Below, a massive structure looms as a voice declares, "IT'S A KING BULL FROM WATER SEVEN—!!!" "BAHI HIHI!!!" laughs wildly. "GET OUTTA THE WAY!!" Panic erupts: "OO-WAAA AAA—!!!" "READY THE CANNONS!!!" Weapons fire amid smoke and debris. In the lower panel the charge intensifies: "CHARGE FORWARD WITH SODOM BRU RU RU..." as striped forms barrel ahead. "FRANKY FAMILY, GRAB ONTO GOMORRAH!!!"

Explosions rock the scene as "BAM!! BANG!!" erupt. A striped beast rampages while small figures leap: "NYA! NYA! NYA!" "CHARGE! CHARGE!" A massive face bellows, "NGAGAGAGA! THEY'RE SO FULL OF SPIRIT!!" "DON'T DIE—!!!" someone screams from the side. "JUMP ON—-!!!" A wolf-like figure barks, "WUF! WUF!!" as motion lines streak. "MUCH FASTER THAN THOSE OVERSIZED FISH!!!" a voice taunts. "FOOLS!! OUR GUARD DOGS ARE..." The beast crashes forward. In the lower panels a blond man stares, "YOU......" A question mark floats as another orders, "HOLD ON TO THE ROPES!" "NO WAY!!!" a figure protests. "THEY'RE TRYING TO GET ON!!" Tension builds as the group clings aboard the speeding creature amid the cityscape.

A top-hatted man glares forward and delivers a message: "TELL THEM THIS FOR ME:" "WHEN YOU SEE THEM...". In close-up, the goggled shipwright with a cigar in his mouth snaps, "YOU'RE FIRED!" and follows with "... OF COURSE!". Galley-La fighters charge as one yells, "THEY'RE ALL YOURS, GALLEY-LA!!!". An opponent with a striped hat roars, "I'M GONNA SKEWER YOU!!!" while another figure leaps into the fray shouting "LEAP!!" amid motion lines and clashing combatants.

A massive aerial strike crashes down with the cry "HALF-KNOT AIR DRIVE!!!" and a huge impact SFX that sends debris flying. Onlookers react: "NORMAL PEOPLE CAN'T MATCH OUR SPEED!!!", "HMPH...!! THOSE IDIOTS WERE CARE-LESS!!", and "HOLY COW! THE HOU-BANTAI WERE DEFEATED!!". Screams erupt as "OO-WOO AAH!!!" and "WE'LL PIERCE YOU BEFORE YOU EVEN NOTICE!" ring out alongside a large SFX "じょよっ!!" during the chaotic melee.

Explosions rock the battlefield as soldiers are hurled through the air. "THEY WERE BEATEN AGAIN!!!" cries a wide-eyed marine in a black cap, his comrades shouting in panic. Massive impact lettering "ドドドドン!!!!" erupts across the page. "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE—!I" someone yells amid the chaos. In the background a fortress looms while a crowd of fighters clashes violently in the snow and rubble; a man with a rifle stares in disbelief as bodies fly. A huge figure with a long, beak-like face fills the lower panel, glaring intensely. "LEAVE THEM TO US!!!" he declares in a large speech bubble. Nearby, another soldier exclaims, "THEY'RE... SO STRONG!!!" as the fight rages on.
