Cross Guild

A colorful splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy lounging on a striped deck chair, wearing a black hat, sunglasses, and a white tank top with tattoos, smoking a cigarette while holding a bottle. Boa Hancock sits beside him in a white top and shorts, smiling. A yellow cat in a black hat and coat perches nearby, also smoking. Scattered bottles, cans, and snacks litter the foreground. The right side displays TCB Scans credits listing translators, proofreaders, cleaners, redrawers, typesetters, and editors, along with a note from Oda Eiichiro about Kurazushi capsule prizes and a fish illustration. A small "PLEASE SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE" message appears at the top.

In the devastated Flower Capital after the festivities, a towering pagoda stands amid thinning clouds as voices cry out in concern. "DON'T DIE, SHINOBU-SAN!!" "HANG IN THERE, RAIZO!" Someone exclaims, "WHAT TERRIFYING SORCERY!" while noting "THEY'RE SO THIN NOW..." A caption reads "THE FLOWER CAPITAL - AFTER THE FESTIVITIES" and "THE AFTERMATH OF RYOKUGYU'S ASSAULT..." Below, defeated forms of Kaido and Big Mom lie sprawled with massive impact effects. Observers remark, "HE WAS A TREMENDOUS DETERRENT!" "KAIDO'S PRESENCE DID KEEP OTHER THREATS AT BAY." "...HAD A POINT." "WE MAY FIND IT HARD TO ADMIT, BUT THAT MAN..." Inside a damaged building, Kin'emon clutches his head in anguish while Raizo and others sit amid debris. A furry ally growls, "HOW IS OTSURU-SAN ANYWAYI" "DON'T SWEAT IT. WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID MORE CASUALTIES THANKS TO MOMONOSUKE-SAMA'S BRAVERY. PRRRRRRR." A woman adds, "I WAS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS!" Kin'emon shouts, "FORGIVE ME! I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN KURI! WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED!"

Amid ruined structures, a man with a headband reflects on the destruction. "OH, IF IT ISN'T OTSURU-SAN. I HEAR KIN-SAN FINALLY CAME HOMEI" "YES, BUT HE HAD TO RETURN TO THE CAPITAL." "AND TSURU SUFFERED A NASTY BURN TO THE FACE, BUT I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT SHE MANAGED TO SURVIVE." "WELL... OKOBORE TOWN ITSELF WAS REDUCED TO ASHES..." A bandaged woman smiles softly, "I ALWAYS WANT TO BE BY HIS SIDE." An elderly woman replies, "YES..." "YOU HAIL FROM THE CAPITAL YOURSELF, ANY PLANS TO MOVE BACKI" Nearby, a dark-haired woman clasps her hands as the furry ally teases, "HEHEHE! I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL, KIN-SAN!" while hearts float and another growls, "MROW-ROW-ROW-ROW!! ENOUGH ALREADY, EVEN PUPPY LOVE ISN'T THIS SAPPY!!" Kin'emon beams widely, "BUT WOW! EVEN AFTER 20 YEARS..." Raizo urges from his bandages, "YOU-GARA JUST FOCUS ON YOUR RECOVERY, RAIZO!!" A voice adds, "TSURU IS AS GORGEOUS AS EVER!"

Carrot, dressed in a patterned kimono and holding skewered food, bounces excitedly. "YOU-GARA WILL BE THE NEXT RULER OF THE MOKOMO DUKEDOM." "ME, RULERI! SURE, NO BIGGIE!!" Duke Inuarashi appears in a bubble, "DUKE! BOSS! YOU SUMMONED MEI WHAT'S UPI!" "AHH, YOU'RE HERE, CARROT." A massive impact shakes the pagoda as Carrot protests, "NO WAY! I CAN'T POSSIBLY TAKE CHARGE!!" In a formal hall, the furry ally declares, "YOU-GARA HAVE GROWN VERY DEPENDABLE AFTER YOUR ADVENTURES WITH LUFFY AND THE OTHERS." "YOU'VE DEFINITELY GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD THE NEXT GENERATION." Inuarashi and the ally bow deeply, "THE CAT AND I HAVE DECIDED TO STAY IN WANO... TO SERVE AS KOZUKI RETAINERS AND PROTECT MOMONOSUKE-SAMA." Carrot stands speechless with "..." as SFX of "MROW-ROW-ROW-ROW!!" and "どん!!" echo.

Inuarashi's Three Musketeers stand proudly as the leader proclaims, "THAT'S WHY YOU CAN TRUST US TO PROTECT THE COUNTRY FOR YOU!" A companion agrees, "TRUE ENOUGH!" Carrot looks worried, "BUT SOME OF THE OTHERS......ARE WAY STRONGER THAN ME!!" Wanda appears, "PEDRO......THAN IT DOES IN ANYONE ELSE! PEDRO'S WILL LIVES ON MORE IN YOU... I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE TOO, CARROT. THE DUKES CHOSE WISELY." In a grand hall, figures gather as Carrot reacts with shock, "YOU'RE OUR GRANDPAI!" An elder replies, "YES... ODEN WAS MY SON." The scene shifts to an elephant-like figure carrying people across waves with "...TO YOU-GARA YOUNGSTERS!!" "YEAH! WE LEAVE ZOU..." and heavy footstep SFX "ドッドッドッドッ".

In a traditional Wano room, an elderly man with a long ponytail kneels and bows deeply, tears in his eyes. "YOU TRULY ARE THE SPITTING IMAGE OF YOUR FATHER, MOMONOSUKE! I AM IN YOUR DEBT. SORRY... I AM SO SORRY..." A young girl with rose hair accessories cries out "GRANDPA!" while clutching her face. Nearby, a scarred man with wild hair reacts in shock. A close-up shows an intense, wrinkled face shouting "がば!!!" with wide eyes. The girl pleads, "RIGHT! PLEASE DON'T APOLOGIZE!" A long-haired man with a scar responds emotionally, "AFTER LOSING YOUR PARENTS, IT MEANS A LOT......FIND OUT THAT WE STILL HAVE FAMILY." In the next panel the scarred man stares in disbelief: "HE WAS SUKIYAKI-SAMA ALL ALONGI MY LORD, WHAT A SHOCK! STILL, I AM GLAD HE IS WELL!" The group stands together; the tengu-masked figure (Kin'emon) explains, "WE DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE NO ORDINARY SWORDSMITH. SO WE KNEW YOU WERE WEARING A TENGU MASK OUTSIDE OF A FESTIVAL IS ODD. SO, I TAKE IT THE REST OF YOU REALLY DID KNOW ABOUT ME..." The masked man bows, "FORGIVE ME FOR PUTTING YOU IN THAT POSITION."

The scarred man shouts "ABSOLUTELY! JUST KNOWING YOU'RE ALIVE OUT THERE IS A GREAT COMFORT FOR US! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!" Sukiyaki continues, "WHEN THAT'S DONE, I IMPLORE YOU TO LET ME LIVE ANONYMOUSLY AMONG THE PEOPLE......IN THIS NEW ERA YOU HAVE USHERED IN. THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS I CAN SHED LIGHT ON. THAT'S ALL AN OLD CODGER LIKE ME IS GOOD FOR ANYWAY." The scarred man reacts, "SO IT REALLY EXISTS...!!!" A small inset shows a smiling woman as Sukiyaki adds, "YES. I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO SEE IT MYSELF, BUT THERE'S NO MISTAKING IT." A dramatic spread reveals a grand festival city with a castle and fireworks; Sukiyaki exclaims, "PLUTON'S IN THIS COUNTRYI!" while another figure yells "WHAAATI!" In a later room Luffy lounges on the floor as Franky speaks: "YEAH, PLUTON. IT'S AN ANCIENT WEAPON NAMED AFTER A GOD." Luffy asks, "YOU WANT IT, LUFFYI" Franky replies, "NAH! I'M GOOD!" while another character wonders, "I THOUGHT YOU'D SAY THAT. STILL, I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER... WHY WOULD ODEN WANT TO UNLEASH ITI" and "DIDN'T YOU TORCH THE BLUEPRINTS FOR THAT, FRANKYI"

Franky reacts in shock, "...ALLURING ANCIENT WEAPONSI! THE HELL ARE YOUI!" while a dramatic "ばん!!" sound effect hits. A tall woman with a ponytail and floral scarf stands with arms crossed, smiling, "COME AGAINI DID YOU SAY THAT MATURE LADIES ARE..." In a close-up she beams, "IT'S ME, SHINOBU!! I KNOW, I'M NOTHING BUT SKIN AND BONES AFTER THAT ACCIDENT. THAT'S SOME GLOW UP!" A heart-filled panel shows a long-haired man crying "WOOAH!" with hearts. A small girl in a kimono makes a peace sign and cheers, "NIN-NIN!" The tall woman (Shinobu) continues, "THINK I CAN GET STRONG ENOUGH TO JOIN YOUR CREW NEXT TIME WE MEETI!" The little girl jumps excitedly, "BIG BRO! BIG BRO! I'M GONNA BE SHINOBU'S APPRENTICE!!" while hearts float around. A figure reaches out, "YOU LOOK ADORABLE, OTAMA!" and another voice answers, "SURE, IF YOU KEEP UP ON YOUR NINJUTSU TRAINING, SHISHISHI!!" with a "えへっ!" sound effect.

A massive close-up of a drooling, wide-eyed face yells, "FIRST POSEIDON, NOW THIS! THERE'S A CERTAIN SOMEONE WHO'D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!! PLUTON'S IN WANOI!" while a small panel shows a figure fleeing with "NO WAY!!" and "ヤァァ!" A sign reads "A FEW DAYS LATER." In a restored Wano street, a man at a desk states, "THE NECESSARY FUNDS HAVE ALSO BEEN CALCULATED....FOR ALL THE VARIOUS VILLAGES. MY LORD, WE HAVE FINISHED THE RESTORATION PLANS..." while a small "..." lingers. A woman with a scar looks concerned. Townspeople celebrate the rebuilt castle and streets with lanterns and cheers. In a hallway a cloaked figure runs as voices call out "SHOGUN!!" Multiple panels show smiling women and children shouting "SHOGUN!!" "SHOGUN-SAMA!!" and "SHOGUN!!" as the figure approaches.

A long-haired man in a kimono bursts forward with wild eyes, shouting "ZORO!!" and "HEY!!" while pleading, "CAN YOU TEACH ME SOME SWORD...". Inside a spacious wooden hall with hanging lanterns and a central tree, startled voices echo: "LUFFYI ZOROI!" "...MOVES...I!" "HUHI". A dramatic impact shakes the floor with the sound effect "がらん...!!". The same long-haired man tumbles down stairs in panic, yelling "SANJII! CHOPPER-EMONI!" and "ONAMII! USOPPI!" as a close-up shows a spiky-haired man's shocked face.

The long-haired man continues shouting names: "BONE-KICHI!!! JINBEI!" and "ROBINI! FRANKYI!" while running through the courtyard. Elsewhere, a woman with horns plays a shamisen as "BENG BENG ♪" plays; Hiyori cries "WHERE IS EVERYONEI!" and asks "HIYORI!! HAVE YOU SEEN LUFFY AND THE GANGI!" with "BE-BENG ♪". Yamato appears in the background. The long-haired man sweats in shock: "BUT NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO ME..." "WHATI!". A smiling woman with a shamisen explains "EVERYONE CAME TO SAY FAREWELL THIS MORNING." and "THEY ALL LEFT EARLIER, RIGHTI". The long-haired man and another figure yell "I JUST FOUND OUT MYSELF!!" "MOMO-NOSUKE-SAMA!!" "THEY SAID THEIR GOODBYES TO DENJIRO AND THE OTHERS, WHY LEAVE US OUTI!" "KI-KINE'MON, LUFFY AND THE REST HAVE..." as musical notes "♪" float around.

On the deck of a ship near Tokage Port, Udon, Trafalgar Law points at a map of the Calm Belt and Wano, noting "NORTH EAST IS THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE." and explaining the three possible Log Pose routes. Eustass Kid argues with Luffy and Law over the choice, saying "LET'S AT LEAST PICK DIFFERENT ROUTES IF WE'RE ALL LEAVIN' NOW!" while others debate "NO WAY! WE'VE ALREADY DECIDED TO SET SAIL TODAY!" and "JUST PICK A DIFFERENT DAY TO LEAVE, STRAW HAT-YA!". Luffy points excitedly and declares "NORTH EAST!" and "THE MIDDLE! (EAST)". Law reacts with "WHAAATI!" and "DID YOU TWO JUST RANDOMLY PICK THE MIDDLE ONEI HOW CHILDISH." as the crew panics with lines like "NOOOOOO!! I LOST THE DRAW! SORRY, GUYS!" and "GET OVER HERE AND HELP US LOAD THE CARGO, LUFFY!". Kid growls about emperors while a mysterious cloaked figure with a drawing box appears, prompting "...IS THIS GUY!!" "WHAT WAS THATI!" and "GUESS I'M SET..." amid impact effects.

A dramatic title page displays the massive crossed-swords emblem of the Cross Guild. Buggy the Clown grins widely in the center with "BUGGY" and "THE BOMBASTIC CLOWN!!" beside him. Sir Crocodile appears on the left with smoke from his cigar, and Dracule Mihawk stands on the right. Large lettering proclaims "CROSS GUILD" as a voice exclaims "WHAT IN THE WORLDI!" with impact effects.

Eustass Kid stares in disbelief. "I can't imagine Hawk-Eye doing that..." Trafalgar Law reacts sharply, "HMI! They're working under BuggyI!" Someone exclaims, "Crocodile and Hawk-Eye!!" The crew discusses the shocking news. "Whatever it was, it seems this Cross Guild of his......is issuing bounties on Marines...!!" Killer questions, "What the heck happenedI" Law warns, "Trust me, he's just a moron." Kid adds, "If he's capable of commanding men like this... then he's definitely a worthy new Emperor." Elsewhere, a Marine officer growls, "Everyone's done whinin' about their routes, rightI! Once we leave Wano, it's every man for himself. I don't want to hear any excuses." A wide view shows the sea and distant islands as narration notes, "...while we were in this isolated country! Sounds like the world really changed..." Kid grins fiercely, "Now those Navy dogs have to watch their backs too. The hunters have become the hunted!" Reward posters for Crocodile, Dracule Mihawk, and Buggy are displayed.

Kid shouts, "So Kaido did have one...!!" Law holds up a large stone, "You earned it too. It's a copy of the Lode Poneglyph." A voice asks, "What the hell is this, TrafalgarI" Law explains, "It wouldn't be sporting to keep it from you. It's like the one we forced that Big Mom commander to hand over, huhI" The scene shifts to Kid's intense close-up. "But we've got no leads..." He growls, "You wanna go after the man marked by flamesI*" Killer laughs, "FAFAFAFA!! If we wanna stay ahead in the scramble for the One Piece, we oughta get serious about that guy!" Robin smiles knowingly, "I guess we're a step ahead of you!" Chopper cheers, "Come on! Still it already!!" Luffy looks surprised, "Marked by flamesI What are you talking aboutI" A footnote reads: "*TN: THE PHRASING HERE IS UNIQUE AND CAN IMPLY A BURN OR A SCAR SHAPED LIKE FIRE."

Momonosuke and someone react in shock on a rooftop, "HUHI! Are you... Momonosuke-kun!...on the roof like usualI!" A sign reads "Flower Capital." Yamato stands tall, "Are you gone too, Yamato...I" Yamato declares with resolve, "I'm about to head over to Luffy and the gang! Yeah, I've made up my mind!" A dramatic wide shot shows the vast Flower Capital with a massive torii gate and pagoda as Yamato leaps. In a powerful close-up, Yamato smiles brightly, "...To live like Oden did!! It's finally time for me... HEROIC AND FREE!!" The page ends with the One Piece logo and "CH.1056 / END".
