Symbols - One Piece Chapter 514, pages 16-17

00AI-written

The chapter opens with the title text, "Chapter 514: \"MUSHROOMS-GROWING-FROM-YOUR-BODY-SHROOM\"." Beneath it, the cover story continues as a CP9 Independent Action Report, Vol. 22, captioned, "WE CAN'T STAY IN THIS TOWN." Several CP9 members stand in the middle of a town street while hostile townspeople crowd the edges of the scene. A huge long-haired man laughs or shouts from a rooftop on the right, a bruised figure lies on the ground near the foreground, and the agents appear boxed in by the angry settlement. The architecture rises around them with a round medical-looking building marked by a cross in the distance, suggesting they have worn out their welcome despite whatever treatment or refuge they found here. Scanner-hosting boilerplate appears below the manga art and is unrelated to the story.

At Shabondy Archipelago, Grove 41, Duval's group waits tensely around the Thousand Sunny. A close-up of Duval's sharp face shows him brooding, "HRM..." while his men report from the deck: "BOSS DUVAL, THE STRAWHATS SURE ARE LATE." Another rider says, "I WONDER IF THEY'VE BEEN CAUGHT BY THEIR PURSUERS..." and a third adds, "I HEAR THERE'S A HUGE MESS OVER BY THE PORT." Below them, the Sunny sits in the grove with bubbles floating through the mangrove air and the riders guarding it from every side. They shout their resolve: "ALL THE MORE REASON TO STAY ON YOUR TOES!!" "WE DON'T WANT SOMEONE SNEAKING UP ON US AND STEALING THE SHIP!" "WE'RE GUARDING THIS SHIP UNTIL THE CREW GETS HERE!!!" "ROSE-COLORED LIFE RIDERS!!!" and "YES!! DUVA-SOME!!" The scene leaves the ship safe for now, but the protectors know the island is still dangerous.

At Grove 1, the ruined Auction House still stands amid wreckage, its front marked "HUMAN" while bubbles drift over the debris. A furious World Noble demands, "YOU STILL HAVEN'T CAUGHT THEM?!" A Marine replies, "CURRENTLY, ADMIRAL KIZARU IS PURSUING THEM, SO WE BELIEVE IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF TIME!!" Another voice tries to calm the noble: "IF YOU COULD BE A LITTLE PATIENT WITH..." but the answer is pure contempt: "YOU BUNCH OF STUPID DOGS!!" In the lower panels, wounded Celestial Dragons lie raging under medical attention. One shouts about "ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN TO MY FATHER AND MY BROTHER..." and "YOU'VE LET ALL OF MY SLAVES ESCAPE...!!" Another screams, "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BLOOD-LINE OF THIS WORLD'S CREATORS IS WORTH!?" Saint Shalria, veiled and tearful with hatred, vows, "ON THE DAY THEY ARE CAUGHT, THEY WILL COME CRAWLING, BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS..." and "THEY WILL TASTE LIVING HELL!!!"

At Grove 13, Shakky's Rip-Off Bar sits high against the immense mangrove trunks while anxious voices wonder about the vanished pirates. One says, "I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS...!!" and another worries, "I WONDER IF LUFFY AND THE OTHERS ARE OKAY..." Inside the bar, Camie frets so much that Pappag snaps, "COME ON, CAMIE!! DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT!!" Hatchan tries to reassure her with his "NYUU-" speech, saying, "THEY'RE STRONG, SO THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU TO WORRY ABOUT, CAMIE." Camie can only answer, "I HOPE SO..." and worries that if they are up against an admiral, "THEIR 'STRENGTH' ISN'T GOING TO MATCH UP..." Shakky, smoking calmly, looks upward and senses the scale of events: "WE'RE COMING UP AGAINST SOME STORMY SEAS... A WAVE BIGGER THAN ANY BEFORE IT IS COMING..." Yet she adds with faith, "THEY CAN'T LOSE TO THAT WAVE... CAN'T YOU HEAR IT...?"

High over the mangrove sea, enormous birds glide through the sky with cries of "KWU..." and "EH?" while pale clouds and Sabaody's streaming bubble paths fill the air. The view then widens to the archipelago itself: rounded groves, soap bubbles, distant birds, rippling water, and heavy rumbling sound effects stretch over the landscape. Against that broad, unsettled vista, a single solemn line hangs in the sky: "THIS ERA IS SLOWLY STARTING TO CHANGE." The page functions like a pause after the chaos at the auction house and the Straw Hats' disappearance, placing the local disaster inside a larger historical shift. No single character stands in the foreground; the setting itself carries the warning, with the moving birds and drifting bubbles suggesting that news and consequences are spreading beyond the immediate battlefield.

A narration box explains, "At that time, having been vanished from the Shabondy Archipelago by Bartholomew Kuma, Monkey D. Luffy is..." Luffy tumbles helplessly through the sky, panting "HAA..." and shouting, "DAMN IT!!!" He screams for every missing crewmate: "ZORO!!" "NAMI!! USOPP!!" "SANJI!!" "CHOPPER!!" "ROBIN!!" "FRANKY!! BROOK!!" His panic peaks with, "MY ENTIRE CREW HAS BEEN SENT SOME-WHERE!!!" In smaller falling panels, the air whistles "HYUU..." and night briefly closes around him with sounds like "KIIISH..." and "GVUO..." Luffy wonders, "... AND ANYWAY, WHERE AM I FLYING TO?!!" and swears, "I WON'T LET THAT BEAR SHICHIBUKAI OFF THE HOOK!!!" Then a different fear hits: "MAN... IF I FALL INTO THE OCEAN, THEN I'M GONNA DIE..." He realizes the others may not have simply disappeared but may have been sent flying the same way, and the question "WHERE DID EVERYONE DISAPPEAR TO!!?" hangs over his battered face.

Luffy continues to drop through the clouds with a strained "GVU..." as the wind lines around him tighten. Below, the surface he strikes is not ocean but a vast soft, rounded fungal mass or plant bed. His body plunges into it facefirst, the impact stretching the surface inward before it rebounds violently with huge sound effects. The blow throws up a deep crater and sprays debris as something nearby reacts with "!!?" Luffy bounces and skids through the strange terrain, letting out a pained "FUGEH..." while the surrounding jungle shakes. The page emphasizes how lucky the landing is: the surface cushions him enough to keep him alive, but it is still a brutal crash, and the bizarre island vegetation already feels unlike Sabaody. There is no sign of the crew, only Luffy alone amid unfamiliar plants, crater marks, and looming wildlife shapes at the edges.

Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy lies spread-eagled in the middle of a field of crater-like impressions, silent except for two empty "..." bubbles as smoke or steam curls from the soft ground around him. When he sits up, a ragged bird cries "GYAA GYAA" nearby and smaller sounds like "CHICH... CHICH..." fill the dense jungle. Luffy blinks in confusion at a bird flying above the palms and mutters, "HM?" Farther in, a gigantic boar-like animal with tusks peers through the trees with "FUGO FUGO..." while Luffy, tiny by comparison, sits in the path below it. He finally registers the miracle of surviving and says, "... I'M ALIVE...!!" The forest answers with heavy "PAKI PAKI!!" cracking sounds, dense roots, huge leaves, mushrooms, and animals all around. The island is lush and dangerous, and Luffy has landed deep inside it with no supplies, no crew, and no idea where he is.

Luffy studies the deep, soft impact crater and concludes, "DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT SURVIVED BECAUSE I'M RUBBER." Looking at the huge nearby animal, he notices, "AND WHAT'S THIS MARK THAT LOOKS LIKE THE THING ON THAT BEAR GUY'S HAND...?" He hopes aloud, "I HOPE THAT EVERYONE ELSE WAS SAVED LIKE THIS, TOO." The thought snaps him back to his goal: "... ANYWAY, I HAVE TO GO BACK...!! WHERE IS THIS... AND WHICH WAY IS THE SHABONDY ARCHIPELAGO...?" He puts his straw hat back on with an "AH!" and "THAT'S RIGHT!" then digs out the vivre card. Holding the small paper marked "Rayleigh" in his palm, he says, "I'VE GOT THE VIVRE CARD!! THANK GOD!! EVERYONE HAS ONE!!" Luffy is relieved: "FUU... ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING BACK!! I'VE GOT TO HEAD BACK FOR NOW!! I'M SURE I'LL BE ABLE TO MEET UP WITH THEM AGAIN!!" The card points the way, and he asks, "THAT WAY, HUH?"

Luffy races through the jungle, breathing "ZEEH... ZEEH..." and yelling "ARRY-AAAAH-HHH!!!" as the giant boar crashes after him. Flashbacks from Sabaody hammer through his mind: a warning voice says, "RIGHT NOW, WE CAN'T BEAT THESE GUYS!!" and another orders, "EVERYONE, JUST GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Camie's terrified face appears with "LUFFY, HELP..." and Luffy remembers his own helplessness: "I COULDN'T SAVE THEM...!! NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE...!!!!" His anguish bursts out as "NUGA-AAAA-AA!!!" The chase continues until he suddenly drops with a heavy "OW!!!" At the bottom, he lies beyond a ledge or broken path, admitting, "HAA... HAA... WELL... IT DOESN'T REALLY HURT, BUT..." Then he sees the route is blocked or ended: "WHAT...!? IS THIS THE END OF THE ROAD...!?" The vivre card still points onward, so he says, "BUT THE CARD IS POINTING THAT WAY..." while the boar snorts "FUGO..." nearby.

Blocked by a wall of rock, Luffy launches a stretched fist and shouts, "GIGANT PISTOL!!!" His enormous punch smashes through the stone with a massive impact, scattering chunks and opening a tunnel. But the effort drains him. Inside the broken passage, watched by the giant boar and another large beast at the entrance, Luffy slumps and says, "N... NO GOOD... I'VE GOT NO STRENGTH AT ALL..." His stomach and exhaustion catch up with him: "I'M SO HUNGRY..." He thinks of his cook with miserable longing, "SANJI, FOOOOD...!! BUT HE'S NOT HERE..." The boar's face changes from threat to shock as Luffy suddenly reacts with "HM?" The page turns from survival panic to hunger-driven opportunity: even in an unknown jungle and separated from everyone, Luffy's first practical problem is food, and the massive animals around him may have just become the answer.

Luffy sits satisfied beside the stripped bones of the huge animals and declares, "WHAT A GREAT MEAL!!" Patting his stomach, he sighs, "HAA... THAT TAKES ME BACK." The jungle reminds him of childhood: "WHEN I WAS A KID AND GRAMPS THREW ME INTO THE JUNGLE..." then he admits, "... WELL, I DON'T REALLY WANT TO GO THERE..." Nearby he spots a mushroom and asks, "AH! ISN'T THIS A LAUGHING-SHROOM?" He remembers, "YEAH, THESE ARE GREAT FOR A TIME LIKE THIS." After eating it, he erupts into helpless laughter, "WAHYA-HYA-HYA-HYA..." and "NOW THINGS ARE GETTING FUN! AHYAHYA..." even while noting, "EVEN THOUGH I'M ALONE." The mood flips when he asks, "HM? NOW I'M GETTING ANGRY!!" and howls "UGAAA AAHH!!!" Then he notices another odd fungus with "PAKU!!" and says, "OH! THERE'S A WEIRD ONE GROWING HERE." The gag keeps escalating as he wonders, "HAA... HAA... WHERE'S THAT LAUGHING-SHROOM...?" and finds "AH, ANOTHER WEIRD MUSHROOM."

In the forest, Kuja women discover Luffy collapsed on the ground, now covered with sprouting mushrooms. One calls out, "MARGARET!!" and another asks, "WHAT IS IT...!?" When they see the body, someone asks, "WHAT IS THIS THING?" and another, startled, says, "THE TALE OF \"I WONDER WHAT THIS IS!?\"" The realization comes quickly: "... WHA... WHAT IS THIS!? ISN'T IT A PERSON!!?" They crowd around the unmoving figure, still mistaking Luffy for a woman, and one suggests, "MAYBE SOMEONE FROM THE VILLAGE?" Another answers, "I DON'T KNOW... BUT WITH ALL THESE MUSHROOMS SPROUTING..." A closer look at a bitten fungus identifies the cause: "... IT'S THIS!!" "LOOK, THIS MUSHROOM HAD A BITE TAKEN OUT OF IT:" "THE \"MUSHROOMS-GROWING-FROM-YOUR-BODY-SHROOM.\"" The warning is immediate: "WHEN YOU EAT IT, MUSHROOMS GROW FROM YOUR BODY!! THIS IS TERRIBLE!!"

The Kuja women decide they must act fast. Marguerite explains with urgency, "IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING, THE MUSHROOMS WILL SUCK AWAY HER LIFE AND SHE WILL DIE." Sweet Pea gives the proverb-like answer, "THE TALE OF \"NOT A MOMENT TO SPARE.\"" Marguerite stands armed with arrows and a snake bow at her side, while the much taller Aphelandra and the smaller Sweet Pea prepare to move the unconscious Luffy. Marguerite orders, "APHELANDRA! CARRY HER BACK TO THE VILLAGE." Aphelandra answers, "GOT IT." The group begins transporting Luffy, still treating him as an unknown injured woman rather than a man. As they hurry through the forest, someone shouts, "LET'S HURRY!!" and another repeats the guiding phrase, "THE TALE OF \"TAKE HER BACK TO THE VILLAGE!\"" The page shows Kuja decisiveness: weapons ready, snakes coiled, and no hesitation about rescuing the stranger despite the bizarre mushroom-covered condition.

The Kuja village erupts with an "EMER-GENCY!!" as the women carry Luffy through buildings decorated with hanging lanterns and geometric patterns beneath towering cliffs. A crowd gathers, asking, "IS SHE EVEN ALIVE?" "WHO IS IT?" and "WHAT HAPPENED TO HER...!? HER BODY'S COVERED WITH MUSHROOMS!!" Inside a treatment room, Belladonna examines the patient while Marguerite and the others kneel around the bed. Belladonna states the immediate treatment: "YOU CAN PULL THEM OFF WITH YOUR HANDS, SO LET'S PROCEED LIKE THAT." As they pluck mushrooms away with popping sounds, one woman says, "MARGARET, YOU SURE PICKED UP SOMETHING WEIRD, HUH...?" Marguerite replies, "YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT LEAVES A LITTLE STUMP." Belladonna reassures them, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE STUMPS, WE'LL BURN THEM OFF LATER." The rescue is sincere, but every detail of the cure sounds painful.

The treatment turns brutal as the remaining mushroom stumps are burned away. Luffy, still mostly unconscious, convulses in smoke and screams "GYAAA-AA!!" while the heat is marked by "HOT HOT HOT!!!!" Belladonna is challenged, "BELLADONA!! DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE OVERDOING IT...?" but she answers, "IF I DIDN'T DO THAT, THEY WOULD JUST GROW BACK." Luffy passes out again: "... SHE'S UNCONSCIOUS AGAIN..." Examining him afterward, Belladonna notes, "BUT EVEN UNDER THE MUSHROOMS, HER BODY IS COVERED WITH INJURIES." Another asks, "REALLY?" and Belladonna concludes, "IT LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS IN A FIERCE BATTLE... WE'LL HAVE TO TREAT HER WOUNDS, TOO. I'M SORRY, MARGARET, WOULD YOU TAKE HER TO THE RIVER AND WASH OFF HER BODY?" At the river, as the women wash Luffy, one says, "IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SHE'S FROM OUR VILLAGE, SWEETPEA." Then they notice, "HUH? LOOK HERE, THERE'S STILL ONE MUSHROOM LEFT." Sweet Pea says, "WE MUST HAVE MISSED IT SINCE IT'S IN BETWEEN HER LEGS..." and asks, "THE TALE OF \"ONE LEFT,\" EH?"

Monkey D. LuffyBelladonnaMargueriteSweet PeaKuja women

At the river, the attempted removal of the final "mushroom" causes confusion. One woman pulls and strains, "NNNGGHH!! I CAN'T PULL IT OFF!! WHA!? IT'S STRETCHING!!" Another asks, "ISN'T THIS ONE SHAPED DIFFER-ENTLY FROM THE ONES BEFORE? WHAT A STRANGE SHAPE." A crowd of Kuja women gathers despite being scolded: "HOW LONG ARE YOU ALL GOING TO STAND THERE WATCHING? THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE!" Others admit, "YOU'RE LOOKING, TOO!" and "SEE! IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLE!" They begin comparing the body, saying, "BUT SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY BREASTS..." and "AND SHE LOOKS KINDA SCRAGGLY..." Marguerite calls, "AH, ELDER NYON! THIS GIRL HAD MUSHROOMS GROWING FROM HER BODY, AND WE CAN'T PULL THIS ONE OFF!" Elder Nyon asks, "WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?" then pauses: "WELL THEN... JUST WHO IS..." Her face contorts in horror as she realizes, "OH MY... TH... THIS IS... A MAN!!!"

The Kuja women explode in panic, screaming "EHHHHHH!!!" after Elder Nyon's revelation. Marguerite stares in shock and says, "THIS IS... A MAN!? I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE!!" Their screams, "KYAAA AAHH!!!" carry over a full view of the island: a mountainous landmass shaped with huge serpent-like forms and inscribed with the kanji for "nine snakes," as a note explains, "*KANJI SAYS \"NINE SNAKES,\" WHICH IS ALSO WRITTEN IN THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN." Narration boxes identify the setting: "This is the country of a tribe of female warriors, the \"Kuja.\"" and "The island of women, \"Amazon Lily.\"" At the bottom, Luffy lies limp and unaware at the water's edge while the warning continues: "An island that should not even be dreamt of." "And if you value your life..." "you should never set foot here..." The chapter lands its twist: Kuma has sent Luffy to a forbidden island where his very existence is dangerous.

An SBS question corner appears with a dancing Sanji illustration and reader questions. A reader writes, "MOO. MOO. MOO. MO. MOO. ...k, let's start the SBS. Match the rhythm! Oda, you too! Sanhai♪" signed "-Yukari Member (cow)," with a small cow labeled "Fusae." Oda answers, "Right, thanks! Everyone, MOO. MOO. MOO. MO. MOO. Wait, what the hell is this!? What kind of greeting is that!? What do you mean 'Fusae'?" Another reader asks about the CP9 Independent Action Report for chapter 502 in volume 51, saying Kalifa wears a shirt from the same Criminal brand popular at Fishman Island and asking whether it is popular above the surface and whether Kalifa cares about brands. Oda confirms it is Pappag's Criminal brand, says Kalifa seems like someone who would care about brands, notes Criminal is fashionable on land too, says Zoro has worn something from that brand, and explains that "Criminal" means lawbreaker while criminals are also called "hoshi," meaning "star." A final reader calls Oda "Borsalino!! Hyper Cutie Ma Naid!" and suggests Camie's birthday could be 11/3 from Ka(11) and Mi(3); Oda replies, "Hi, Borsalino!! That's good. That'll do, Borsalino!!"
