Klabautermann

Franky looms in a vast chamber, pointing aggressively as he declares, "I'M SAYING THAT I'LL HELP YOU DISMANTLE THAT SHIP." From off-panel a furious voice roars, "SHUT UP!!!". In a close-up, the Going Merry figurehead lunges forward shouting, "IS MY SHIP!!!" while another bubble reads "GOING MERRY...". Nearby, a fish-man gapes in shock and two women cry out "I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DO IT!!!" and "BRO!!".

Franky glares intensely, stating "NOT A SHIP ANYMORE!!!" while another bubble trails "NO... IT'S...". The Going Merry figurehead gasps "WHATI" as a man in the background reacts with "AHI". Franky then confronts the figurehead, explaining, "BUT YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED TO GET BACK TO YOUR HOME IN EAST BLUE. THEN I COULDN'T HAVE CARED LESS. IF YOU WERE GONNA THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY ALONG WITH THE SHIP... I ASKED YOU EARLIER... 'WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ONCE YOU FIX THIS SHIP'... THAT'S WHY I'M STOPPING YOU, KID."

In the vast ship interior, Franky insists, "THIS SHIP AIN'T GONNA EVEN GET TO THE NEXT ISLAND." A narration box states, "SHIPS ARE BORN WITH THAT WISH IN MIND......!!!" and Franky adds, "I WILL CARRY YOU FROM THIS MIND TO THAT LAND". The Going Merry figurehead screams "IT'S NOT A SHIP ANYMORE!!!" and "NO!!!" while Franky yells "STOP!!!". Distant figures react with "!!!I" and "AH!!" as the narration continues, "WHEN A SHIP CAN NO LONGER CARRY PEOPLE TO THE NEXT LAND..." accompanied by impact sounds "!!!!" and "ガッ!!".

On the deck of the Going Merry, massive destruction erupts as the ship breaks apart. Usopp is hurled violently through the air amid flying debris and shattered wood while the vessel tilts wildly. A small figure reacts with shock, "!!!". In close-up panels below, an angry man with a scar glares fiercely. Someone shouts desperately, "BRO ----!!!" Another voice yells, "STOP-----!!!!" The chaos shows the ship’s structure collapsing around the fighters.

The Going Merry is blasted high into the sky amid clouds and smoke. Massive sound effects explode across the page: "ギャシャーン...!!!" and "ドゴォーン!!!!". Usopp is sent flying from the impact. A voice roars, "YOU BASTARD!!!" Another commands, "GET AWAY FROM THE SHIP!!!" Debris and smoke fill the air as the ship continues to break apart.

High in the clouds, Luffy and Usopp clash mid-air. Luffy delivers powerful kicks while Usopp is struck repeatedly. Sound effects mark the blows: "オオオオ", "グシャッ", "グシャッ". Usopp grunts in pain, "NGUH ~~~!!". Close-ups show intense exchanges and impacts. A voice growls, "YOU BASTARD..."

The fierce aerial battle continues. A voice warns, "THEN YOU'D BETTER SEE IT....!!!" Another declares, "IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND....!!!" Luffy and Usopp exchange heavy blows with dramatic impacts. Large sound effects read "SPLOOSH!!!!" as they crash down onto the broken deck of the Going Merry. Usopp lands hard amid scattered planks. Below, bubbles rise from the water: "BLOOP BLOOP". A final panel shows shocked faces watching the aftermath.

The battered Going Merry plummets through the air amid clouds of debris and impact lines. A long-nosed figure tumbles helplessly alongside the hull as massive ゴゴ and ズドドド sound effects shake the panels. The sheep figurehead stares forward while the ship slams into the ground. Below, the vessel lies broken inside a vast hangar. SPLASH erupts as water sprays from the impact. Two figures stand watching; one small silhouette utters HAA... while another HAA drifts from the wreckage.

A spiky-haired man with a stern glare exhales HAA... GUH!! as the damaged ship settles. The long-nosed figure strains against wooden beams amid ギャン and ズドドド sounds. Two women watch silently from the side. The ship creaks violently with BAM!! BAM!!, CREAK..., and CRUNCH!!! effects. A bandaged, goggled man laughs HOO!! while clinging to debris. The long-nosed figure cries I'M SORRY, MERRY...... and I'LL FIX YOU...... IN A MINUTE......!!! as SNIFF!! and SNERK!! sounds punctuate the scene. The sheep figurehead smiles faintly amid the chaos.

The sheep figurehead shouts AGAIN!! AND AGAIN!! I'LL FIX YOU......!!! while the bandaged man yells I'LL FIX YOU......!!! amid frantic トンテンカン!! hammering. The spiky-haired man glares with gritted teeth. Two women react with shock, one covering her mouth as ゴゴ and コンカン!! rumble through the hangar. The long-nosed figure hammers desperately. The spiky-haired man demands DO YOU THINK THAT THE REPAIRS OF SOME AMATEUR WOULD... IT COULD COLLAPSE WITH EACH WAVE THAT HITS IT!! YOU SAW THE BOTTOM OF THE SHIP, RIGHTI THE KEEL IS BROKEN, THE OUTSIDE PLATES ARE MISALIGNED, AND THE RIBS ARE IN PIECES!! HEY, CUT IT OUT ALREADY, LONG NOSE!!

The spiky-haired man glares in silence as a massive impact ガシャーン erupts with flying debris and motion lines. In the hangar the long-nosed figure shouts I'LL KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP, YOU HOOLIGAN BASTARD!!! while the bandaged man retorts I DON'T WANT YOU TELLING ME THAT!!! and SHUT UP ALREADY!!! The sheep figurehead watches quietly. Later the figurehead states I KNEW... ALL OF THAT. The bandaged man snaps WHAT DID YOU SAY!!I as the dark-skinned woman reacts with surprise.

The massive figurehead of the Going Merry looms forward, tears streaming down its face as it cries out, "COULD NOT TRAVEL ANY-MORE!!!!" A voice declares, "I KNEW THAT GOING MERRY...!!!" In smaller panels, Zoro stares intensely with "!I" while Robin and Usopp react with shock, "!!" Below on the deck, the small spirit-like figure of the Going Merry itself exclaims, "I KNEW ALL OF THAT...!!!" A tall figure with a long nose stands nearby as another voice states, "I ACTUALLY......" The ship’s bow remains broken and leaking, surrounded by debris and the crew’s stunned expressions.

Usopp sits on the ground, head bowed, as speech bubbles recount: "I DIDN'T THINK THERE COULD BE SUCH THING, BUT...!!!" "I THOUGHT IT WAS A DREAM AT FIRST." "WHEN I'D HEARD THE RESULTS OF THE EVALUATION... I DECIDED THAT IT WASN'T JUST MY IMAGINATION BACK THEN." The small spirit figure appears with a question mark. A close-up shows a long-haired man with an intense glare and "......" A woman with a long nose and sunglasses reacts with "I" Further narration continues: "I NEVER FOUND OUT WHO, BUT THE NEXT DAY THE SHIP WAS REPAIRED IN A VERY POOR FASHION." "THE FOG WAS REALLY THICK, BUT SOMEONE WAS DEFINITELY THERE." "FROM THE EMPTY SHIP...!!!" "ONE NIGHT... I HEARD THE SOUNDS OF HAMMERING..." The spirit figure reappears with wide eyes amid motion lines and hammering sounds.

The crew continues recalling events on the ship. "I REMEMBER THIS ONE PHRASE..." "IT WAS ALL SO STRANGE, BUT..." "OR MAYBE HE REALLY DID SAY IT." "I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS JUST MY IMAGINATION." "KNOW GOING MERRY'S ORIGINAL SHAPEI" "HOW DID THE PERSON WHO FIXED THE SHIP..." Usopp exclaims, "USOPP, IT'S NOT THE FLYING MODEL ANYMORE." The spirit figure states, "FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER." "IT'S ALRIGHT. I'LL CARRY ALL OF YOU..." A woman with sunglasses reacts with "......" The large figurehead returns, declaring, "I THINK THAT IT WAS... THE INCARNATION OF GOING MERRY...!!!" and "... I KNOW IT SOUNDS SO FREAKING STUPID......!!!" "BUT... I...." with sound effects "ポロ..." and motion lines.

The discussion continues with "...... I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME..." "YOU PROBABLY THINK I'M CRAZY." "AND I WANTED TO WARN US ABOUT IT." "THE SHIP WAS PROBABLY ALREADY AT ITS LIMIT..." The spirit figure smiles as "......" and "ばふ..." appear. A close-up shows Usopp asking, "...... HUHI" "DID YOU KNOW THATI" "HOW..." The long-haired man replies, "HE LOOKED LIKE A SAILOR, HOLDING A HAMMER, DIDN'T HEI" "NO NEED FOR THAT..." In the final large panel, the long-haired man declares with a stern expression, "YOU PROBABLY SAW A KLA-BAUTER-MANN." and "...... 'CAUSE, KID,"

A masked figure with goggles and a long nose stares forward as a speech bubble reads "KLBAR....." while another voice wonders ".....I" Narration fills the next spread: "WHEN THE SHIP'S IN DANGER, IT RUNS THROUGHOUT THE SHIP, WARNING EVERYONE ABOUT IT. IT HOLDS A HAMMER AND WEARS A SAILOR'S RAINCOAT. IT'S A FAIRY THAT DWELLS ON SHIPS THAT ARE WELL CARED FOR... IT'S BASICALLY AN INCARNATION OF THE SHIP. KLABAU-TERMANN. A LEGEND TOLD AMONG THE SEAFARERS..." A black silhouette of the small hammer-wielding spirit races across a storm-tossed deck. Inside the damaged Going Merry, the masked figure continues, "SERIOUSLY--- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD ABOUT IT DIRECTLY..." while another voice adds, "IT'S SAID TO HELP THE SAILORS IN BIGGER WAYS SOMETIMES..." The masked figure stands in stunned silence with "....."

Franky leans in close with a wide grin, declaring, "THIS SHIP MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY HAPPY... THE MORE THE SHIP IS LOVED, THE MORE GRATITUDE IT HAS FOR THE FARERS. THIS SHIP PROBABLY WANTED TO GET YOU GUYS TO THE 'OTHER SIDE', NO MATTER WHAT. TO HAVE MET A CREW IT WANTED TO CARRY SO MUCH, IT EVEN TOOK ON A HUMAN FORM." Small panels show the masked spirit replying "I SEE" and "..... MERRY....." while the goat figurehead spirit appears with sound effects "コー...I" "ゴゴゴ..." and "じゅわ..." The full Merry figurehead spirit materializes on deck, beaming, as voices react with "..... MERRY." and "REALLY WAS YOU..." and "THE GUY WHO TALKED TO ME..."

Nami and another woman react in shock, shouting "THEY'RE STUPID ------!!" and "MEN ARE SO CLUMSY--" with laughter "わあああああん" while the masked figure protests "...IT'S NOT LIKE THAT." Franky continues, "AND STILL HAD THAT BIG FIGHT WITH YOUR FRIENDS. SO YOU... KNEW THE LIMITS OF THE SHIP, THIS IS AMAZING......!!" The masked figure turns with "HMI" A new group of silhouetted figures arrives on the broken deck; one states "SOMEONE'S HERE." while another calls out "BRO," as large impact lettering "ドドド" shakes the foreground.
