The Meeting

A vibrant color spread shows a football stadium showdown. Monkey D. Luffy in a black-and-blue MONKEYS jersey number 55 crouches aggressively on the field. Nami stands nearby in a matching jersey and yellow shorts with arms crossed. Sanji in a yellow MONKEYS uniform watches from the side. Chopper appears in a red BISONS helmet and jersey. A massive stitched bison-like player in a red BISONS uniform looms over the group. A large MONKEYS banner with Luffy's face hangs in the background. Text at the bottom reads "You lost because you didn't win." followed by "ONE PIECE" in bold orange letters.

The identical football stadium color spread repeats the scene. Monkey D. Luffy crouches in his MONKEYS number 55 jersey facing the massive red BISONS bison player. Nami stands with arms crossed in her MONKEYS uniform. Sanji stands with crossed arms on the right. Chopper in BISONS gear and other team members fill the field. The MONKEYS banner with Luffy's skull design hangs prominently. The caption "You lost because you didn't win." appears above the large "ONE PIECE" logo at the bottom.

The page opens on the final touches to a massive wedding cake in Whole Cake City’s 8th floor giant kitchen. A striped cake stand spins wildly as frosting and cream fly everywhere. Narration boxes read: “CREATION OF THE WEDDING CAKE - FINAL TOUCHES”, “LIFE IS--”, “NEVER LIKE THAT!!”, “A BIG SPOON-FUL!”, “TEARS OF REGRET ARE...”, “A LITTLE SALT!”, “LIFE’S TEARS OF HARDSHIP TASTE LIKE...”, and “YOU CAN HAVE THIS FOR DESSERT THEN...!!!!”. The head chef, a massive mustached man in a chef’s hat and apron, roars with joy: “A SWEET, SWEET CAKE...!” and “HEAD CHEF-----!!”. Smaller voices cry “SWEET--”, “FLUFFY--”. A large box identifies him: “BIG MOM PIRATES HEAD CHEF ‘GOURMET KNIGHT STREUSEN’”. The chapter title “CHAPTER 858: THE MEETING” is displayed prominently across the center.

At Whole Cake Island’s eastern inlet, chaos erupts on the rocky shore. A horned woman with curly hair shouts at Pekoms: “STAY HERE AND BE QUIET.”, “THEN EVEN MORE SO, YOU SHOULD LEAVE IT TO JINBE!! YOU’LL BE DONE IN AGAIN IN YOUR CURRENT CONDITION!!”, “BU- BUT PRALINE, IF BY SOME CHANCE THEY STOP THE REPORT... GAOH.”, “YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN, PEKOMS!!”, “NOW, NOW... SHA SHA SHA SHA...”, “YOU STILL NEED TO REST!!”, and “STOP IT, PEKOMS!!”. Pekoms, injured and bandaged, gasps “UGH!!” and “GAOH!!”. A large man with a top hat and tattoos on his back yells “YOU HAVE TO REST!!”. Nearby, a tiger mink lies beaten, muttering “HAH... HAH... GAOH!!”, “JINBE REALLY REPORTED TO MAMA, RIGHT!I”, and “ABOUT THAT BEGE BRAT...!!”. Smaller panels show alarmed onlookers reacting to noises and shadows from the inlet, with one figure saying “I THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME, BUT... I’M GOING!!” and another warning “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WON’T ALLOW IT!! GAOH!”. A man in a hat declares “OF COURSE!! RIGHT NOW THAT TRAITOR BEGE IS SURELY...” while another considers “I SHOULD DO IT MYSELF... TO BE SURE...”.

A massive face looms in the sky, announcing “THE HIDEOUT OF BEGE’S CREW IS ON THE NORTH-WEST SIDE OF THE ISLAND!!”. Luffy, Sanji, and Carrot stand together. Luffy shouts “SANJI, LUFFY, LISTEN!” and “WE’LL MEET THERE!!”. Sanji replies “WE WILL GO AHEAD OF YOU FROM INSIDE THE MIRROR!!”. Both laugh “HAH”. The scene shifts to the imposing Fire Tank Pirates base, a fortified castle-like structure built into cliffs. A sign reads “FIRE TANK PIRATES BASE”. Two figures stand before the grand entrance as narration states “TIME UNTIL THE TEA PARTY: 4 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES”. Speech bubbles ponder “...SO, WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS BEGEI” and “...JUST PICTURE A MAFIA BOSS.”

Inside the Fire Tank base, Sanji and Luffy arrive. A voice calls “YOU’RE...”, “VINSMOKE SANJI!!”, and “OH...!!! ONE OF MY GERMA HEROES!!”. Vito, a tall man in a black suit with a pompadour, grins widely and declares “I’M SO HAPPY TO MEET YOU AGAIN-RERO!! NYURORO!!” while striking a dramatic pose labeled ““MONSTER GUN” VITO”. He adds “YES, DON’T WORRY, THE OTHERS ARE ALREADY-RERO.” and “I’M SO RELAXED!! WE DON’T HAVE TIME, YOU KNOW!I AND YOU HATE BATHS TOO!!”. Luffy yells “WAAAH, LUFFY!! SANJI-----!!” and “CHOPPER.....!!”. Chopper appears in the background. A small character warns “FATHER’S NOT GONNA MEET ‘DIRTY’ PEOPLE!”. Another figure says “HEY, WHERE’S EVERYONE ELSE!I ARE YOU BEGE!I” and “ARE YOU ALREADY WHAT!I” while Vito continues “NOW NOW, YOU GUYS TOO-RERO!!”. Sanji and Luffy react with surprise as the group gathers.

Inside Bege's hideout women's bath, a large woman with a bow in her hair washes a smaller girl with bunny-ear pigtails amid clouds of bubbles. The woman exclaims in shock, "LOLA BECAME A ZOMBIE BOAR!I" as sound effects like "BEEEEH--!I" and "あははは" fill the air. She continues, "I SEE!! BUT TO MY YOUNGER SISTER, YOU ARE SAVIOURS!! THANK YOU!!" while tears stream down her face. "I'M SO HAPPY THAT TEARS ARE FLOWING OUT!! WE USED TO BE LIKE 'ONE MIND IN TWO BODIES', BEING TWINS AND ALL!!" The smaller girl relaxes in the tub as the woman recounts, "AND THEN SHE WOULD CHASE AFTER THE MAN SHE LIKED... ROUND AND ROUND... THAT TIME... AND THIS TIME IN THE MONSTER FOREST TOO... I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IF I HADN'T MET LOLA. AHAHAHA, THAT'S JUST LIKE LOLA!" The girl replies, "SO LOLA WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO HER HUMAN FORM!" "THAT'S RIGHT." "THE SEA IS A WONDERLAND ♡!!" "DEAD PEOPLE WHO CAN MOVE."

Chiffon sits beside the tub washing Lola while they continue talking. "WHEN SHE RAN AWAY FROM THE MARRIAGE... BIG MOM'S FURY WAS LIKE A DEMON'S." "I WONDER IF SHE'S FOUND SOMEONE TO MARRY YET." "I'M SURE THAT SHE'S DOING WELL NOW AS A PIRATE!!" "HAHA... THAT WAS A HUGE INCIDENT." Lola asks, "EHI BY THE GIANTSII" Chiffon explains, "FOR A CERTAIN REASON, MAMA IS HATED... BY ALL THE GIANTS IN THE WORLD. AND THAT IS WHY THERE ARE NO GIANTS IN TOTTO LAND, WHERE ALL RACES RESIDE." She smiles and reveals, "HE WAS NONE OTHER THAN PRINCE 'LOKI' FROM THE COUNTRY OF GIANTS, 'ELBAF'!!" Lola reacts with wide eyes, "...A PRINCE!I AMAZING!!" "ONE DAY... A SUITOR WHO FELL IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT... WITH LOLA APPEARED, BUT..." "GIANTS...!! THEY REALLY EXIST...!!"

Chiffon continues the story with dramatic expressions. "FURTHERMORE, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE MILITARY OF ELBAF... THE COUNTRY KNOWN AS THE STRONGEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD. MAMA WAS BESIDE HERSELF WITH JOY! CRYING TEARS OF DELIGHT! IF LOLA BECAME THE PRINCESS OF ELBAF, MAMA WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BURY THEIR LONG YEARS OF CONFLICT." She adds, "IT GOT EVEN WORSE AFTER THAT. THEY TRIED TO USE ME AS LOLA'S SUBSTITUTE, BUT... THEY FOUND OUT THAT I WASN'T LOLA...AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GIANTS BECAME EVEN WORSE. I SEE... SO SHE ESCAPED OUT OF THAT." Chiffon grows serious: "LOLA IS CONSIDERED A CRIMINAL IN THIS COUNTRY! SHE WOULD BE KILLED IF SHE CAME BACK. HER RAGE TOWARDS LOLA GREW GREATER AND GREATER. AND STARTED TO INVEST INTO RESEARCH ABOUT GIGANTIFICATION... AFTER THAT, MAMA GAVE UP ON BECOMING ALLIES WITH THE REAL GIANT RACE. IN ADDITION... IT SEEMS THAT SHE ALSO DISLIKES ME BECAUSE I LOOK EXACTLY LIKE LOLA."

A massive close-up shows Big Mom's furious face looming as she roars, "IN FRONT OF ME!!! EVERY TIME WE MET... DON'T YOU DARE SHOW THAT FACE!!" Back in the bath, Chiffon tells Lola, "SHE PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT HER MOTHER BEARS KILLING INTENT TOWARDS HER. LOLA IS VERY CARE-FREE, SO... I CAN NO LONGER THINK OF THAT 'MONSTER' AS MY MOTHER. SHE WOULD CRUELLY BEAT ME. I HAD INJURIES THAT DID NOT HEAL FOR MANY YEARS." Lola gasps, "HAHA... EEH!I" Chiffon continues, "I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO BE KILLED... BY MY OWN PARENT..." Lola looks down sadly. "I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING... IT MIGHT SEEM TERRIBLE... BUT IT'S THE TRUTH. WHEN BEGE SAW THAT HE WAS GOING TO ASSASSINATE MAMA, I SEE... EVERYTHING... MAKES SENSE NOW...!!!"

Luffy and Brook relax after their earlier fight. Luffy complains, "THIS FEELS LIKE AFTER A BATTLE... I'M GETTING TOO RELAXED." Brook replies cheerfully, "BUT I'M NOT GOING THERE YET!!" and adds, "WELL WELL WELL, WHAT A NICE BATH THAT WAS-YOHOHO PARADISE-PARADISE-." Luffy snaps, "THE BATTLE HASN'T STARTED YET!!" Nearby, a fishman guard growls, "ME TOO, MY FACE HAS BEEN CRACKED, SO..." Luffy points at his own mouth, "WHAT GREAT TIMING. I'M MISSING A TOOTH, SO..." The guard explodes in anger, "DON'T GO THROUGH THE FRIDGE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE SO CASUALLY!! THERE'S MILK IN HERE, MILK!!" Brook spots the appliance and exclaims, "AH! A FRIDGE!" The guard demands, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR BODIES!I" Brook drinks milk and cries out joyfully, "AAAAAHHH~~~ I'M HEALED~~~~!!" as Luffy also enjoys a carton.

A clock counts down: "TIME UNTIL THE START OF THE 'TEA PARTY': 3 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES..." Chiffon shouts in disbelief, "UNFORGIVABLE!! CHIFFON! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Lola pleads desperately, "BRULEE! YOU KNOW WHAT MAMA DID TO ME, DON'T YOU!I TO THINK THAT YOU'D HELP THE MAN WHO PLANS TO KILL MAMA!! PLEASE THINK THIS THROUGH, CHIFFON-SAMA!! ASSASSINATING MAMA... THAT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!! LOLA IS IN DANGER TOO. MY FAMILY IS BEGE AND PEZ!! THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME!!" Bege stands tall and declares, "AS THEY SAY, 'CLOTHES MAKE THE PERSON'." He continues, "GOOD. EVERYONE'S GATHERED... DID YOU MANAGE TO GET AT LEAST SOME FILTH OFF YOUI" A voice answers, "I DON'T WASTE MY BREATH WITH ANYONE WHO CAN'T EVEN KEEP A TIDY APPEARANCE."

Bege warns Luffy, "SINCE THE CEREMONY ITSELF WILL BE CANCELLED. IF YOU KILL ME, YOUR CHANCES OF ASSASSINATING BIG MOM ARE ZERO. THEY'LL BECOME SUSPICIOUS IF I DON'T RETURN 2 HOURS BEFORE THE BANQUET STARTS. HAH... A REAL SHAME, BUT THAT'S TRUE. I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE YOU ALIVE." He presses, "FIRST WE DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO JOIN FORCES OR NOT!!! THERE'S THREE AND A HALF HOURS LEFT. NOW" Luffy listens as Bege states, "THE EASIEST WAY OUT IS TO ELIMINATE YOU RIGHT NOW!!! FOR US, YOU LOT ARE JUST A PAIN IN THE ASS." Bege asks, "LUFFY, WHAT DO YOUR INSTINCTS TELL YOUI CAN YOU JOIN THEM OR NOTI THIS IS NO TIME FOR THREATS." Luffy stares back silently with a serious expression.

Luffy suddenly reacts, "EEH!I CAESARI WHEREII SERIOUSLY, NOWI HE'S BEEN HERE THIS WHOLE TIME..." Caesar Clown appears dramatically, "YOU BASTARD! YOU'RE CAESAR, AREN'T YOU!!!" Luffy glares. Caesar panics, "UWOOOH!! HA...HA I'M WORKING!! I'M WORKING PROPERLY!!! REPORT THAT TO BIG MOM!!! CAESAR CLOWN!!!" A close-up shows sweat and tension on a face. Bege grabs Caesar by the collar and growls, "IF YOU LEND ME YOUR POWER... I'LL LET YOU ESCAPE RIGHT NOW, I AM A TRUSTWORTHY 'ROOK'!! AND THEY DID, WITHOUT A WORD. I ASKED TO SWITCH GUARD DUTY TO ME" Caesar looks shocked, "!!I"

A furious Caesar Clown rages in multiple panels, shouting, "I DON'T WANT TO SEE THOSE BASTARDS EVER AGAIN!!!" and "GIVE ME A BREAK!!" A voice warns, "THE 'STRAW HATS' ARE COMING HERE!I" Caesar bellows back, "YOU BASTARD! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU'RE SPEAKING TO!!I I'M THE GENIUS SCIENTIST WHO CAN DESTROY THE WORLD, CAESAR CLOWN!!!" He adds, "I'M BEGE'S SWORN BROTHER...!!!" while another panel questions, "IS HE EVEN TRYING TO FOOL US...I" The scene shifts to a dramatic reveal of Caesar in a white outfit and spiky hair, laughing "SHURORO RORORORO!!" as he declares himself "GANGSTER GASTINO!!!" with large title text "CAESAR CLOWN" and "GANGSTER GASTINO" dominating the bottom. A small voice wonders, "GAS... TINO...I" while others react with shock.

Luffy and Caesar clash in heated argument. Caesar yells, "DO YOU THINK I WANT TO BE HERE!I YOU FOOL!!!" Luffy retorts, "WHAT THE HELL, IT'S YOU AFTER ALL!!! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE!!!" A woman with curly hair points out, "YOU'RE NOT WRONG!! HE'S CAESAR, NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT!" Luffy admits, "I SEE, I GOT THE WRONG GUY. MY BAD." Caesar continues ranting about his capture by Big Mom, shouting, "MY HEART WAS TAKEN BY THIS GUY! SO NOW I HAVE TO DO WHAT HE SAYS!!!" and threatens, "TELL TRAFALGAR LAW THAT I'M GOING TO KILL HIM THE NEXT TIME WE MEET!!! YOU TOO, IF I GET A CHANCE!!!" Luffy angrily demands, "LET ME PUNCH YOU FOR SHOOTING PEKOMS!!!" while Caesar protests, "EASY NOW, YOU NUISANCE! WHAT A WASTE OF TIME."

Chaos erupts as the group argues over alliances. Someone yells, "IT DOESN'T MATTER, JUST LET HIM TRY IT." Others shout, "STOP, GOTT!!!" "I WON'T FORGIVE PEOPLE WHO BADMOUTH'S FATHER!!!" "BUT HE SHOT MY FRIEND!!!" and "WAIT, LUFFY!! YOU WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING THIS WAY!!!" Bege's crew debates joining forces, with lines like "YOU CAN KILL EACH OTHER ALL YOU WANT AFTERWARDS, BUT RIGHT NOW YOU NEED TO JOIN FORCES." "THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL AN ALLIANCE!!" "WE HATE HER!!!" and "DO YOU GUYS LIKE BIG MOMI" Bege declares, "LET'S DO THIS QUICKLY!!! GET THIS OVER WITH ALREADY!!!" while holding a cigar and announcing, "I'VE GOT A PERFECT ONE. WHAT'S THE PLAN!I" A box states, "THE FRONTLINE HAS BEEN DECIDED!" and notes, "TIME UNTIL THE BANQUET STARTS: 3 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES." The page ends with "ONE PIECE...CHAPTER 858 / END".
