Chapter 399: "JUMP TO THE FALL!!" The title page shows four figures gathered inside a stone-walled room with a tiled floor and hanging lantern. A light-haired woman in a dark outfit stands on the left, looking toward the others. In front of her, a small curly-haired figure in a striped outfit and boots faces the group. Seated on the floor are a grinning man with a large afro, round glasses, and a striped shirt, and beside him a woman with voluminous curly dark hair wearing a matching striped outfit. Scattered bags and debris lie around them. At the bottom, text reads: THE NAME OF MISS GOLDENWEEK'S STRATEGY "MEET BAROQUE" VOL. 31: "LONG*!!!" AND ONEE-SAMA SHE'S MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME.

A massive impact sound "ドンッ" erupts as the Straw Hat crew charges forward. A large bearded man in a black cap roars with both fists raised, shouting "ROBIN!!!" Nearby, a suited man with a long weapon points upward yelling "WE'LL RESCUE YOU AT ANY COST!!!" while others including a blonde fighter and a black-haired swordsman advance. Speech bubbles declare "HAVING THE WORLD AS YOUR ENEMY!!!" and "DON'T YOU DARE TO EVEN DREAM THAT YOU'D SURVIVE" with SFX "ゴゴゴゴゴゴ". Text announces "THE DRAW-BRIDGE IS LOWERING!!!" Below, a massive fortress drawbridge begins to descend. A long-haired man in a black coat shouts "DON'T COME!!!" while another figure yells "USELESS. THEY'LL NEVER DEFEAT US...!!" A spiky-haired man laughs "GYAHHAHA! HOW DARE THEY DISRESPECT THE FLAG OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!!I" and a voice replies "HOOHOO... YOU'RE SO HIGH-SPIRITED. I'D BE HAPPY TO LIVE WITH THAT!!!" Close-up shows Nico Robin with a determined, tearful expression.

The massive fortress gate shakes with impact SFX "ドンッ" and background cheers "わあああああああああ". A sign labels "Courtyard in front of the Courthouse". In the left tower area labeled "Left Tower (Moz and Lulu)", pirates cheer "YEAH!!! WE PULLED THE LEVER!!!" and "WE'VE DONE IT!!" as the giant wheel turns and the drawbridge lowers with text "THE DRAW-BRIDGE IS LOWERING!!!". On the right tower labeled "Right Tower (Kiwi and Tilestone)", more fighters raise weapons shouting "GO STRAW-HATS!!" and "LOOKS LIKE MOZ AND THE REST WERE SUCCESSFUL!!". A smiling woman with dark curly hair stands prominently in the foreground holding a large weapon beside a fallen enemy, with the open drawbridge mechanism visible beneath her.

Inside the fortress, a long-mustached man and a large armored figure yell "IT WON'T WORK THAT EASILY!!!" and "DAMN PIRATES!!!". Below, soldiers shout "STOP THE DRAW-BRIDGE, EVEN IF THAT MEANS BREAKING IT!!!" and "PREPARE THE TRENCH MORTAR!!!" with SFX "ゴゴゴゴゴゴ". A cannon-like weapon is aimed outward. In close combat panels, a fishman-like fighter exclaims "!!I" as an enemy declares "THIS IS THE END OF YOUR LIFE!!!" and another shouts "I WON'T LET YOU DO THAT!". Attacks are unleashed: "DISMANTLE SLICE"!!! with a blade slash and "PIPE HITCH KNIVES"!!! with multiple projectiles flying toward shocked opponents.

Explosive chaos erupts as the three-headed Presiding Judge Baskerville is blasted apart in a massive impact, limbs and debris flying everywhere. "GYAAAAH!!!" one head screams. Below, the scene shifts to the stunned Straw Hats and allies. "AND I, IN THE MIDDLE, AM..." one judge begins. "...HEH HEH HEH." another chuckles. "WHAT THE FUCK!I" Sanji blurts. A small panel shows "The princess." and "ニャリ" (a sly grin). "PRESIDING JUDGE BASKERVILLE!!!" a voice announces. The three judges then proudly declare their real identities while striking poses: "MY REAL NAME IS 'KERVILLE,' ON THE RIGHT!!" "MY REAL NAME IS 'BAS,' ON THE LEFT!!" "THOSE THREE WERE STUCK TOGETHER THE WHOLE TIME!I FOR WHAT!I" someone exclaims in shock. "TOO BAD!! WE'RE ACTUALLY THE PRESIDING JUDGE TRIO!!!" they boast together.

A Marine commander bellows "FIRE THE TRENCH MORTAR!!!" while another yells "OH SHUT UP!!!" and "BECAUSE WE'RE GOOD FRIENDS!!!" as hands wave frantically. The massive mortar shell strikes the Tower of Justice, producing a huge "ズドォォォン!!!" explosion. "CREE...!!" the drawbridge groans to a halt. "THE DRAWBRIDGE STOPPED MOVING!!!" a voice cries. Below, Franky, bruised and battered, shouts "GUH...!! GOOD!!! GOOD JOB!!!" while gasping "HAA... HAA... AHI" Usopp panics "GETTING IN OUR WAY...!!!" as Spandam orders "CHIEF SPANDAM!! PLEASE EVACUATE FROM THE TOWER OF JUSTICE!!" Luffy roars "DAMN IT!! WHO ARE YOU!!!I" and "NOW, BEFORE THEY COME OVER TO THIS SIDE, LET ME GO TO THE GATES OF JUSTICE...!!!"

Luffy yells "ROBIN!!!" and "SOMEBODY, GRAB CUTTY FLAM!!" as a figure crashes through a window with "AGH!" and "カッ!!!" impact sounds. "COME, NICO ROBIN!!!" a voice calls. Robin stands with her back turned while a CP9 agent explains: "'NICO ROBIN,' A SURVIVOR OF THE SCHOLARS' ISLAND, WHO DESIRED THE REVIVAL OF THE WEAPON, AND 'CUTTY FLAM,' WHO INHERITED THE WEAPON'S BLUEPRINTS." The agent continues "HMPH...!!! THOSE PIRATES AREN'T WORTH WORRYING ABOUT...!!! I'VE GOT THE ASSASSINATION GROUP CP9 RIGHT HERE!!" Franky and Robin stare toward the distant Enies Lobby as Franky cries "NUOO!!! CUTTY FLAM!!!" and the agent thinks "HOW COULD I MISS THIS CHANCE TO GAIN SUCH AUTHORITY!!!"

Close-ups show Lucci's intense glare with "I" and "HMI" reactions as he holds up the ancient blueprints labeled "PLUTON." He demands "ARE THOSE THE BLUEPRINTS OF THE ANCIENT WEAPON, PLUTON!!!I" Franky replies "THAT'S... YOU MEAN... NO WAY...!!!" Lucci presses "I DOUBTED IT... BUT YOU WERE HIDING IT IN YOUR BODY, WEREN'T YOUI" while Kaku and another agent watch. "LUCCI... KAKU... YOU CAN TELL, CAN'T YOUI" one says. "...IT'S LEGIT." another confirms. "DO YOU BELIEVE MEI" a voice asks as the group stares at the revealed Pluton plans.

Nico Robin stares ahead with a cold expression as a voice calls her name. A masked man with wild hair screams desperately, "GIVE IT TO ME!! THAT'S WHAT I'VE DESIRED, THE BLUEPRINTS!!! IT'S REAL!I GIVE IT TO ME!!! I-IS IT REAL!I" In a wide view of Water Seven's shipyards, narration explains, "OF WATER SEVEN HAVE PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION,... WHAT THE SHIPWRIGHTS... WHAT TOM-SAN PROTECTED BY RISKING THEIR LIVES..." A round-headed figure in a black coat states, "I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE NOT THE 'DEMON'" and questions who would abuse the weapon. The masked man lunges forward yelling, "GIVE IT TO ME!!" while a stern man with a scar replies, "LISTEN, SPANDA..." Multiple bubbles detail the plan: "CALLED NICO ROBIN WILL TRY TO REVIVE THE EXISTING WEAPON," "AS LONG AS THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THE WOMAN..." and "IT'S THE BLUEPRINTS THAT TOM-SAN PASSED ON TO THE FUTURE... BY SACRIFICING ALL THE GREAT WORK HE HAS DONE."

Spandam roars, "TO COUNTER AND STOP THE FIRST ONE... THAT WAS THE WISH OF THE DESIGNER!!!" and warns, "IF THE ANCIENT WEAPON FALLS INTO THE HANDS OF AN IDIOT LIKE YOU AND STARTS ITS RAMPAGE, THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER WEAPON." Below, figures stand on the high platform of the Tower of Justice as he continues, "BUT NOW, SHE HAS HER NAKAMA WHO'LL PROTECT HER!!...!!! IT'S TRUE THAT YOU CAN USE NICO ROBIN TO REVIVE THE WEAPON!! SHE'S A DANGEROUS WOMAN." The masked man lunges again, shouting, "DON'T KEEP GOING ON AND ON, JUST GIVE IT TO ME!!! THAT'S MINE!!" while the round figure answers, "PERHAPS THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY... TO FULFILL THE WISHES OF THE DESIGNER. SO, I'LL MAKE A WAGER..."

Franky swings a massive punch that shatters stone, sending debris flying as he yells "ACK!!!" with impact SFX. Close-ups show CP9 agents reacting in shock: one sweats with "...", another growls "DAMN IT. I'LL KILL YOU!!!" while a third clutches his head screaming "BASTARD!! WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO!I ARGH!" and "HE JUST RUINED THE TARGET OF OUR 5-YEAR MISSION..." Spandam grins viciously, declaring, "AND SHOULD'VE BEEN DESTROYED ONCE THEY WERE DISCOVERED!!! WE'RE SOUGHT BY THE GOVERNMENT...!!! NORMALLY, THEY SHOULD ONLY EXIST SECRETLY," as Nico Robin watches silently. The blueprints remain the key to creating an opposing force.

On the high walkway, the round figure warns, "BUT IF THE STRAWHATS WIN...!!! YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT!!! SO I'LL PLACE MY BET ON THEM!!!" while Spandam panics, "BUT NOW, WE NO LONGER HAVE A FORCE TO OPPOSE 'THE WEAPON'!! IF NICO ROBIN FALLS INTO YOUR HANDS, WE'RE DOOMED!!!" Below, the Straw Hat crew spots Franky on the Tower of Justice and cheers wildly: "WAAAH!! IT'S BRO!! HEY, BRO, FRANKY BRO!! BRO!!!" "GOOD, HE'S SAFE!!" "WHAT A JERK...!!! I GUESS YOU WANT TO DIE HERE, TOO, HUH!!!" Franky turns, replying to their calls as they shout, "BRO, WE'VE COME TO RESCUE YOU!! WE CAME WITH STRAWHAT-SAN AND THEM!!!" and "BRO, COME BACK WITH US! ARE YOU HURT AT ALL!I"

A massive close-up shows a tear-streaked, furious face roaring "うおおおん" as the character bellows, "DAMN YOU, WHO THE HECK ASKED YOU..." while a garbled aside reads "AZKD JOO TEH COME WESQUE MEEEE!!I (ASKED YOU TO COME RESCUE ME!!I)". Below, Luffy glares with wide eyes and shouts "DON'T BE SO COLD-HEARTED!!!" and "SHUT UP, PUNKS!!!". Nearby, a figure cries "I AIN'T CRYING. DAMN YOU... BAS-TARDS. B~~ R~~ O!!!". The view widens to reveal a towering fortress and lowered drawbridge. Luffy turns sharply as someone yells "STRAWHAT!!!". Voices urge action: "OH, YES!! MOVE IT, OR I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!!!", "OH, YEAH, HURRY UP, BASTARDS!!!", "ROBIN'S WAITING FOR US! HURRY AND LOWER THE BRIDGE!!!", while Sanji adds hearts and declares "NAMI-SAN, I LOVE YOU FOR BEING COLD-HEARTED, TOO!!!" Nami replies "RIGHT!" as the crew prepares to advance.

Franky declares "WHATEVER!!!" while thinking "...EH, BUT HE'S RIGHT NEXT TO YOU..." and "I STILL HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST YOU ON USOPP'S MATTER!!!", adding that the master dismantler will be an ally. A shocked face reacts "EHI". An explosion erupts with "うりゃあああ" and "どんっ!!!" as a figure is blasted off the bridge amid cries of "RUIN MY BLUEPRINTS!!!" and "CUTTY FLAM!! YOU... HOW DARE YOU!!!". Multiple voices scream "WILL DROP INTO THE FALL!!!", "BRO", "OO-WAAAH, BRO!!!". Below, the crew panics: "WHATCHA HEZZTATIN' FO!I", "I HEARD EFFRY-THIN'.", "KOKO-RO-SAN!!I", "EH!I", "EYYY, PIRATES!!", "HESITATING...I BUT THE BRIDGE IS ONLY HALFWAY LOWERED...!!!" as Franky works frantically and someone yells "OOWAH, FRANKY!!".

Explosions rock the bridge with massive "カァァァァァン" and "ガシャン" sounds as the structure collapses. A voice commands "JUMP TO DE FALL WIFF ALL YER MIGHT!!!" while another notes "HALFWAY IS 'NUFF. WE'LL BE DHERE IN 4 SHECON'ZZ!!!". Screams of "GYAA-AAH!!!" and "OO-WAA-AAH!" fill the air. Nami recalls "SHE TOLD US TO JUMP INTO THE FALL...!!!" as the crew stares in shock at the falling Sea Train and courthouse chaos. A guard shouts "HALT!!" while others yell "WHAT IS THAT TRAIN...!!!I", "PRE-SIDING JUDGE, PLEASE RUN!!!", and "HEY, WHAT'S GOING ONI". Luffy looks surprised as the Sea Train's horn blares "That's the Sea Train's sound."

The crew leaps from the collapsing bridge in freefall, shouting "OOWAA-AAAAA-AAAH!", "EH!!I", "LET'S GO!!!", and "OO-WAH!". Below, tiny figures plummet toward the churning waters and rocks as the fortress recedes. On the ground, a shocked face exclaims "...! 'ROCKET MAN'...!I". Kokoro grins and declares "DHE LEGENDREE SHIPBUILDIN' COMPANHY, TOM'S WOHKERS!!!" while the train speeds forward with "ゴォォォ" and "ズゴォォン" effects. She adds "'ROCKET MAN' CAN STILL MOOV!! DON' UNNER-ESHTMATE" as the legendary vehicle races ahead.

The massive sea train barrels forward at full speed, its rhino-faced engine snarling with jagged teeth. In a dramatic right-to-left sequence, the train launches off the tracks in a huge leap, sending figures tumbling through the air. Small panels show panicked reactions: a character yells "HOO-GEH!!!", another screams "OO-WAA-AAH!", and voices cry out as the train jumps again. Onlookers shout "IT JUMPED AGAIN~!!!" and "TH- THEY'RE COMING ~!!!" as the train crashes onward with explosive impact SFX "ドゴォォン" and "ホォォン". The page ends with the volume credit "41 VOLUME 41 (END)".
