The large yellow ONE PIECE logo dominates the bottom with the subtitle "ワンピース". Additional text includes "巻頭カラー…!!" and chapter promotion for Gear 5 Luffy's future island escape climax.

Explosions rock a naval scene with sailing ships under heavy fire. SFX read "ドドーン!!" "GYAAAH!!" "ビン!!" and "めあああああっ". Narration box states "DURING THE BARRAGEI!". On a forested island, a cloaked figure with a long weapon stands near a curly-haired person as speech bubbles declare: "YOU MAY BE A PIRATE, BUT THIS IS A GOVERNMENT ISLAND...", "THAT'S RIGHT! PLEASE HOLD ON!!", "HE'S THE WET-HAIRED CARIBOU...", "UWAAAH!! WAIT, PLEASE!!", and "WHAT'S HIS STORYI". SFX "わああああああっ" echoes. In close-up, a panicked man with goggles and a black hat shouts "IF YOU GUYS KILL ME HERE, COMMODORE TEACH... WILL HAVE YOUR HEADS!!". Another man with a scope and glasses replies "YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG! PLEASE TRUST ME!!" and "AND THERE ARE PEOPLE AFTER THE COMMODORE'S LIFE." Chapter title reads "CHAPTER 1108: ATTENTION, WORLD!".

In a forest clearing a cloaked figure with a wide-brimmed hat levels a massive weapon while a small horned creature fires a rifle in the background. The cloaked man declares, "BECAUSE I HAVE EXTREMELY VALUABLE INFORMATION!! THE KIND THAT'S COME TO COME BY!!" A voice asks, "OH...I AND WHY IS THATI" The cloaked figure continues, "THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS OF BOTH ARE THE STRAW HAT CREW AND MYSELF! KE HI HI HI!!!" Narration reveals the information concerns ancient weapons bearing the names of the gods: first the curious power of Fish-Man Island's Princess Shirahoshi, known as Poseidon, then Pluton, sleeping underground in Wano. A small figure wearing a skull-patterned hat pleads, "... I KNOW I CAN BE OF USE! JUST TAKE ME WITH YOU!" The cloaked man grins widely and offers, "I'LL SURRENDER THAT INFORMATION FREE OF CHARGE! I'M SURE HE'LL BE PLEASED! IF YOU BRING ME TO THE COMMODORE."

Explosions rock the sea as warships exchange fire with a massive Pacifista. A voice shouts, "WE HAVE TO STOP FIRING ON THE PACIFISTA!" Another orders, "PULL BACK FROM THE SHORE!!" Amid the chaos a bearded man yells, "I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D LEARN ABOUT THE POWER OF THE SPECIAL SCIENCE GROUP LIKE THIS!!" while a goggled fighter exclaims, "THOSE DAMN BUBBLE SHIELDS!!" Massive impacts send debris flying; one Marine cries "UWAH!!" as a giant mechanical arm swings through the water. The battle rages with smoke, shockwaves, and scattered Marines reacting in panic.

Vice Admiral Doll shouts, "VEGAPUNK HIMSELF GAVE THAT PIRATE THE AUTHORITY TO COMMAND THE PACIFISTA, RIGHTI! THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN STOP!!" Vice Admiral Hound states, "IT'D BE UNPRECEDENTED, BUT IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF CALLING THE BUSTER CALL FOR NOWI!" Vice Admiral Bluegrass adds, "THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING! I CAN'T CUT LOOSE; WE'D JUST BE HURTING OURSELVES BY TAKING OUT THOSE UNITS!" Vice Admiral Doberman commands, "ALL AVAILABLE VICE ADMIRALS SHOULD LEAVE THEIR STATIONS AND HUNT HER DOWN IMMEDIATELY! THAT MEANS TAKING JEWELRY BONNEY'S HEAD! WE SHOULD FOCUS ON GETTING THE PACIFISTA BACK ON OUR SIDE! AFTER THIS, THERE'S NO DOUBT HE'S REBEL SCUM!!" A Marine runs while yelling, "WE MUST ELIMINATE HER!!" A map highlights Bonney's escape route from the center of the Fabrio-stratum toward the northeast coast.
Vice Admiral Tosa's massive armored hand descends with the cry "TOSA CRUNCH!!" A Marine on the ground gasps, "WHATI!" as the vice admiral boasts, "MY TEN-BARREL FINGER GUN CAN EVEN RIP OPEN ARMOR!! THESE FINGERS WILL DRAG HER TO HELL!!" Another Marine reports, "I'M ALREADY HOT ON THEIR HEELS! I'LL GET THEM! ROGER THAT, TOSA HERE." The giant hand crushes downward while the pinned Marine yells, "CRAP, IT'S A MARINE!" The impact produces a loud "BLUGH!" and debris flies. Nearby Marines react with surprise: one asks "HMI" while another says "HUHI"

A young girl with pigtails and a frilly collar stares in shock, tears streaming, as she shouts "GA BA BA BA BA! WHO ARE YOU GUYSI" Nearby allies react with alarm: "HUHI! THERE ARE GIANTS ON THIS ISLANDI!" and "ARE THEY ENEMIES, TOOI WE'RE IN A RUSH, Y'KNOW!" A massive hooded warrior with a long beard and sword lunges forward, roaring "WE'VE COME TO GET THE STRAW HATS!" while a grinning cat-helmeted giant and a horned, armored figure charge alongside him. The hooded giant demands "BUT NONE OF YOU LOOK FAMILIAR. ARE YOU RESEARCHERSI" and "WE CHECKED THE BOUNTY POSTERS TO MAKE SURE WE'D RECOGNIZE THE NEW MEMBERS." A fallen ally groans "WHAT FORI LUFFY'S MY CAPTAIN; DO YOU HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST HIMI!" as the giants press the attack amid smoke and debris on the rocky shore.

The pigtail girl cries out desperately "CAN YOU HELP THEM, TOOI! LUFFY, SANJI, AND VEGAPUNK ARE STILL BACK THERE!" The hooded giant replies "IF YOU'RE FRIENDS OF HIS, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO KEEP YOU SAFE!" while the cat-helmeted giant adds "WE'RE WARRIORS FROM ELBAF." and "NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT! WE'VE ONLY GOT GRATITUDE FOR HIM." The hooded giant questions "VEGAPUNK, HE'S THE ONE THAT SCHOLAR MENTIONED, RIGHTI" The cat-helmeted giant grins widely, exclaiming "THOSE NAMES SURE TAKE ME BACK! YOU BETCHA, LI'L MISSY!" A large bearded man in armor salutes "AYE-AYE, CAPTAINS!" as the hooded giant swings his sword, ordering "CARRY THEM TO THE SHIP!" while shouting "WE'LL GO ON AHEAD! THE FIRE'S STARTING TO GET OUT OF CONTROL!" Allies wonder "ARE THEY THE 'MASTERS' USOPP'S ALWAYS GOING ON ABOUTI" and "GIANT ALLIES, HUHI!"

A striped-hatted skeleton-like figure yells "HOP ON, DOLL! WE'LL ATTACK FROM THE SEA!" as Vice Admiral Pomsy growls "I'M HEADING TO THE ISLAND!!" and Vice Admiral Urban snarls "DID THEY COUNTER HIS ATTACKI OR WAS IT THE GIANTS...I" and "THE LINE'S GONE DEAD." A massive mechanical sea-dragon vehicle bursts from the waves with "POMSKY" and "URBAN" markings, its crew noting "THE SHIP ON THE NORTHEAST SHORE IS DEFINITELY FROM ELBAF." Inside a lab, characters react: "IN THE LAB ABOVE THE CLOUDS!" "ON A SKY ISLANDI" "UH... NOT EXACTLY. THEY'RE JUST ABOVE US!" A curly-haired man asks "WHERE ARE THE OTHERSI" while a woman with goggles states "PAST TENSEI YOU MUST BE TALKING ABOUT SAUL. HE WAS A TOUGH COOKIE." A dark-haired man concludes "MY COMMANDING OFFICER A LITTLE OVER 20 YEARS AGO WAS A GIANT..."

A massive figure looms over the lab as a voice threatens "OUCH! IF YOU TRY TO MOVE ME, I'LL DIE FROM INTERNAL HEMORRHAGING!" and "YOU CAN'T MOVEI! HOW'RE WE MEANT TO SAVE YOU THENI!" A spiky-haired man with a snake-like tongue explains "I WAS HOPING BONNEY'S COMMAND OVERRIDE WOULD'VE REMAINED A SECRET TILL SHE WAS A LITTLE BIT OLDER." and "I DID ASK YOU FOR THAT, BUT... I'VE MADE MY BED. AND THERE ARE THINGS HERE I MUST PROTECT." He continues "SHE'LL BE A TARGET FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE... PLEASE, LOOK AFTER HER!" while another voice insists "BUT WE PROMISED TO GET YOU OFF THIS ISLAND, DIDN'T WEI!" A woman lies injured on the ground as observers note "THERE'S A STRANGE LOOK IN HIS EYE." and "LOOKS LIKE HE'S GIVEN UP ANY PRETENSE OF LOOKING HUMAN..." with one asking "SEEMS HE'S COMPLETELY COATED IN VENOM 100I"
Chaos erupts across the crumbling battlefield as Vegapunk lies injured. A voice cries out, "VEGAPUNK!!" while another screams, "NOOO OOO!" Sanji is urged, "SANJI, YOU GET GRAMPS OUTTA HERE!" as Luffy is warned, "LUFFY, DODGE!!" Explosions and debris fly everywhere. Someone shouts, "AHA HA HA!!" followed by a pained "OOOF!!" A close-up shows a determined face yelling, "APPLE GRAMPS!" Sanji responds urgently, "CRAP! I'M SORRY, VEGAPUNK!" and "SANJI, GET GOING! YOU'VE GOTTA GET TO THE BACK ENTRANCE!" A massive shadowy figure with horns and flames looms as Luffy is hurled through the air. In the lower panels, a cloaked figure with spiky hair grunts, "UNGH!" while another voice calls, "HUHI" and "HOLD ON!" Sanji is grabbed amid the fray, protesting, "OUCH, OUCH!! STOP IT! I SAID IT'S FINE! LEAVE ME, SANJI!!" The scene is filled with motion lines, shattered structures, and frantic movement as the group struggles to escape.

The broadcast continues amid the destruction. A voice calls desperately, "VEGAPUNK! DAMN IT! DON'T DIE ON ME!" while checking, "HEY! WHAT'RE YOU SMILING ABOUT, STAY WITH ME!" Tech panels show mic checks: "AH, MIC CHECK, MIC CHECK." "TESTING, TESTING... ONE, TWO, THREE!" and sounds like "GACHA", "Fizz", "BEEP". Vegapunk's recorded voice begins: "ERR... THIS IS DR. VEGAPUNK, THE WORLD'S GREATEST AND MOST HUMBLE SCIENTIFIC GENIUS." A large panel displays the message: "ATTENTION, WORLD... HELLO, THERE." The broadcast continues with, "PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU IS THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR WORLD...!!!" and "I'M SURE THIS MESSAGE WILL COME AS A SHOCK FOR YOU ALL, BUT..." A massive "4" dominates the page. In the final panels, a character sweats nervously as another figure with wide eyes says, "I'M LETTING YOU ESCAPE, RIGHT...I" and "YOU KNOW THERE'S NO WAY..." The page ends with the chapter title and "CH. 1108 /END."
