The chapter title page displays the large text "Right Above Fishman Island" at the top. Below it is a vibrant scene set on Fishman Island: Nami stands confidently in the center wearing a short frilled dress, holding a black staff-like weapon. To her right looms a massive fishman with a long beard, open mouth, and helmet-like headgear. To her left is a smaller fishman-like creature with a large open mouth and a satchel. In the background rise the domes, towers, and palm trees of Fishman Island, with cheering fishmen and merfolk visible on the right. At the bottom the caption reads "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol 24: The Kingdom of Alabasta - Vivi, 18".
A massive fishman-like creature leaps through the air amid clouds and island structures, roaring with huge SFX "わああああああああああ". It shouts "YOU DA GREAT BIG STINKING MANJU!!" and "WHO DA HECK'RE YOU!!". In the lower panels Nami swings her staff, summoning a chain of black orbs labeled "BLACK BALL!!". Sanji appears on the right, face twisted in rage, yelling "HOW DARE YOU INDIRECTLY ASSAULT NAMI!!!!" and "WHAT IS SHE, A WIZARDI!" while other fishmen react in shock, one exclaiming "WHAT'S THAT CHICK DOINGI!" and another warning "WATCH OUT!! ALL KINDS OF CRAZY STUFF APPEARS OUT OF THAT STAFF OF HERS!!".
Nami stands with her staff as black orbs trail through the air. She replies to comments about clouds with "CLOUDSI! IT'S PURE SCIENCE." and adds "AT LEAST CALL ME A 'MAGICAL CUTIE'!". The orbs expand violently into a massive explosion labeled "RAIN BALL!!" with huge SFX "パァァァァァァァァァァァ!!". Ikaros and other fishmen are caught in the blast, screaming "AAA AAGHH HHHHH HH!!!" and "MUHHHI!". One fishman yells "IKAROS!!" while another shouts "THAT DAMN WOMAN'S DOING THIS, IS SHEI!" and Ikaros cries "YOU'LL TURN ME INTO DRIED SQUID!!" as the attack engulfs the area.

A large fishman with a lance grabs Nami's legs, declaring "I'LL HOLD HER DOWN!! WHILE SHE'S TRAPPED, YOU TAKE HER OUT WITH YOUR LANCE!!" and "ROGER THAT, MUHHH!!". Another fishman notes "THAT MAN IN THE BLACK SUIT WAS OVERREACTING ON THE SLIGHTEST ATTACK ON THAT WOMAN!! SHE MUST BE THE WEAK POINT OF THEIR CREW". Nami struggles as the lance strikes, crying "GHHK!!" and "AHHK!!" while the attacker laughs "GAHAHAHA!!" and taunts "FEEL THE PAIN OF MY DRIED SQUID LANCE!!". Sanji reacts in horror "EHHI! NAMI-SANI!I AHI I KNOW!!" as the fishman threatens "YOU'RE GOING TO BE DRIED SQUID!!!" and Nami's legs are pinned.
A massive squid-like Fish-Man roars in shock, "MUHHH... SHE HAS BACKUP!!!" while another snarls, "WELL, IT DOESN'T MATTER... I'LL JUST HAVE TO DRY YOU OUT INTO DRIED SQUID AS WELL!!!" In the center, a long-haired girl in a spotted outfit drives a massive lance through a spiky-haired crowned figure, who cries "OW... H...!!" and "LIKE HELL!!!" as impact lines explode around them. The crowned man retorts mid-strike, "WOULD YOU PERCHANCE ALLOW ME TO SEE YOUR-" before screaming "AAAA AAAAAG HHHHH HH!!!!" A giant open-mouthed Fish-Man bellows "WHAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAATI!!" Below, a skeleton with goggles calmly replies to the threat, "ERM, I'M ALREADY...... BONE DRY, I'M AFRAID." The squid-man panics, "DRIED SQUID LANCE!!!" and desperately commands, "WHAT'S WRONG, MY DRIED SQUID LANCEI! HURRY UP AND DRAIN ALL THE WATER OUT OF THIS FOOL!!!" as the weapon fails to activate.
Franky in his massive robot form clashes violently with Ikaros Much's mechanical squid suit. Voices question from the background, "...WHO'S ACTUALLY STRONG ENOUGH... HEY, ISN'T THERE ANYONE AROUND HERE......THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!!" Ikaros taunts, "...TO BE WORTH FIGHTINGI!!" Franky grunts in pain, "GUEE EEEEHH HH!!!" as the suit smashes into him. A Fish-Man recognizes him, "OHHH... YOU'RE ONE OF THE BIG SHOTS, RIGHTI" while another yells "GUOOHHHH HH...!!! WHO IS IT THIS TIMEI!!" Ikaros screams in agony, "!!! I... IKAROS-SAAAAN!!" as the robot is hurled aside amid dust and debris.

A title card declares "GENERAL FRANKY VS IKAROS MUCH". Ikaros shouts defiantly, "SPINELESS I AM NOT!!! I MAY BE A SQUID, BUT I AM ALSO A FISHMAN!!!" and vows, "MAYBE YOU'LL HOLD UP LONGER THAN THE REST OF THESE SPINELESS IDIOTS." Below, the long-haired girl spots movement, "HUHI! THERE'S SOMEONE DOWN THERE!!" while the crowned fighter stands motionless. Brook addresses him, "OH MAN, HE'S STANDING RIGHT ON HIM...! HEY, SKELETON, YOU WANNA MOVE!!" The girl gasps "AH..." and "HMI" as the crowned man remains still. In a sudden attack, the crowned fighter stomps down hard, yelling "HOW DO YOU LIKE THATI!!" The girl cries "HUHI" as the victim groans, "...THAT I COULDN'T MOVE MY LEGS!" and someone mutters, "IT MUST HAVE BEEN HIS FAULT..."
Brook's massive foot pins a masked Fish-Man to the ground. The victim growls, "HE'S REFUSING TO ADMIT THAT HE GOT STEPPED ON!!!" Brook warns, "YOU MAY NOT THINK MUCH OF MY HEADBUTT RIGHT NOW......BUT I ASSURE YOU, YOUR FOOT WILL SOON BEGIN TO ACHE INTOLE-RABLY!!" A title card reads "BROOK VS ZEO". Brook apologizes, "I APOLOGISE FOR STANDING ON YOUR FACE." and adds, "WHY APOLOGISEI!!" while noting, "HE GAVE IT AN ATTACK NAME!!" The attack is labeled "SUPER SOLE HEADBUTT!!" Elsewhere, Daruma yells at a group, "YOU'RE MAKING US ALL SINK!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO OPEN UP THAT MANY HOLES BENEATH THE GROUND!!" as the ground collapses with cries of "D - DARUMA-SAAAAN, STOP!!" "AAAH HHHH HHHH!!" and impact sounds "GATHWUW! GATHWUW!"

A massive underground cavern shakes as a huge burrowing sea creature twists through the rock. A small figure clings to its head while a voice yells, "WHERE DID THAT CORAL-HEADED DUNCE GET TOI!!" The creature snarls back, "KYAKKKY AHH! YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME BENEATH THE GROUND!!" Above ground, Usopp shouts desperately, "CHOPPER!! GET OUT HERE, WOULD YOUI!!" A fish-man watches and mutters, "A STRAW HAT CREW-MEMBER... THE FOOL... HIS BACK IS WIDE OPEN!!" Another fish-man reacts with "HMI" Usopp stands ready with his slingshot as a massive fish-man warrior looms behind him, roaring, "BE CRUSHED BY MY MIGHTY STRENGTH!!!" Usopp yells, "USOPP, GEEET DOWN!!!" while the warrior charges. A voice answers, "ALL RIGHT!! I'M COMING UP FAST!!" and another figure warns, "I SMELL AN ENEMY THREAT!!"

Chopper rockets through the air in a tiny form, yelling "KY AAHHHH HHHH!!!" as he unleashes "HISSATSU: MIDORIBOSHI!!" A fish-man shouts, "DID YOU LINK UP THE HOLES, CHOPPERI!" Chopper replies, "YOU BET!!" while another fish-man laughs, "AHAH AHAH!! WE ALREADY FOUGHT A BURROWING ENEMY ONCE IN ALABASTA!!" The massive fish-man warrior swings a giant fist, roaring "DOKURO BAKUHA-TSUSOU!!" as the ground erupts in a skull-shaped explosion. Usopp is blasted backward with "GUOO OOOOH HH!!!" and "ELF!!!" while the fish-man yells, "WAS THAT YOUI! WE HAVE EXPERIENCE ON OUR SIDE!!" Below, panicked citizens scream "GUAA AAAHH HH!!!" and "AAAA GHHHH HHHH!!!" as debris and bodies fly everywhere.

Daruma lunges at Usopp, snarling "...I SAID BACK ME UP...! BRING IT ON!! CHOPPER, BACK ME UP, YEAHI" and "I'LL BITE THAT NOSE OF YOURS CLEAN OFF!!" Usopp gasps "...CHOPPERI" as Daruma bites down with "CHOMP!!" In the next clash, Dosun faces Chopper, who declares, "IF IT'S POWER YOU'RE AFTER, I'VE GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL UP MY SLEEVE!!" Dosun growls, "ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE... MY IMMEASURABLE POWER, GYABAN!!" while Chopper smirks "HEH HEH!" A furious melee erupts with Chopper blocking every strike as the fish-men shout "LOOK... HE'S BLOCKING EVERY SINGLE ATTACK!!" and scream in pain "UWWIII HHHHHH HHHH!!!" amid heavy impact sounds.

A giant fish-man clutches his head in agony, roaring "WHY DO DERE ATTACKS HURT SO MUCH!! STUPID HUMANS!! NASTY LITTLE THINGS!!" while another wails "OWIIE EEE!!" Below, citizens panic and shout "BACK THEM UP!! GIVE THEM SPACE TO FIGHT!!" and "IF THE BIG SHOTS GET WIPED OUT, THERE'S NO HOPE LEFT FOR ANY OF US!!!" A woman cries, "IS THE ISLAND REALLY GONNA BE DESTROYEDI!" as others yell "WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN, MADAME SHIRLEYI!" and "ARE PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI AND THE OTHERS ALL RIGHT...I!" Someone screams "GET MEDICAL HELP, QUICK!!" and "DAMN THAT HODY...!!!" while a desperate voice calls "PRINCESS!!" amid the collapsing battlefield.

High above the grand structures of Fish-Man Island, a massive ship plummets through the water with violent force. Panting sounds echo as debris scatters. Shirahoshi stares upward in panic, sweat and bubbles trailing from her face as she pants heavily. Below, Hody Jones, now massively muscular and covered in spots, grips a trident and looms over the scene. Neptune, the small king with a crown and trident, is hurled backward. Luffy clings desperately to the falling vessel. Hody roars, "YOU'LL PROTECT THEM ALLI! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!!" He continues, "YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE, I'LL GIVE YOU THAT, STRAW HAT!!!" Neptune cries out, "BUT IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE!!!" as impact lines and motion blur fill the panel.

Two fish-men warriors argue fiercely amid the chaos. One shouts, "...YOU'RE RIGHT!! WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN...NOT HERE!!" Another warns, "IF DECKEN'S ABILITY CUTS OUT RIGHT ABOVE FISHMAN ISLAND, THE RESULT WILL BE DISASTROUS!!!" A third voice adds, "BROTHER RYUU...! *PANT*..." and "IF DECKEN HAS REALLY BEEN ELIMINATED..." In the next sequence, Hody Jones attacks violently, yelling "KIRISAME!!!" while Shirahoshi is targeted. A fish-man screams "UAAA GHHHH HH!!!" and "RYUU-BOSHI!!!" Another fish-man growls, "HELL, THAT'S WHY I SLAUGHTERED HIM!!" and "IT SUITS ME JUST FINE TO HAVE HIS POWER CUT OUT HERE..." while warning, "SHIRA-HOSHI!!! YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR COURSE - HEAD TO THE SIDE!" and "CAN'T HAVE YOU PUTTING ANY FUNNY IDEAS INTO HER HEAD!!!"

Shirahoshi cries desperately, "BRO-HOSHI!!! WE HAVE TO GO SEE CRY-HOSHI, NOW!!" as Luffy leaps into action with his straw hat, shouting, "OH, RIGHT!! IF WE STAY HERE, THE SHIP'S GONNA FALL RIGHT BACK DOWN ONTO FISH-MAN ISLAND WHERE THE OTHERS ARE!" and "AFTER ALL THE EFFORT PUT INTO LEADING IT AWAY...!!" A fish-man yells "WHATI!" while another warns, "AHH!! SHIRAHOSHI IS HEADING OFF TO ONE SIDE!!" and "YOUR CREWMATES ARE GOING TO DIE, STRAW HAT - I'LL MAKE SURE OF IT!!" Luffy shouts "HOLD IT!!!" as the ship begins to drift. Shirahoshi pants heavily, realizing "NOAH...!! I'M OVER HERE!!!"

Shirahoshi pleads, "GET OFF ME, STRAW HAT!!! IF THE SHIP MOVES OFF COURSE, THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS ENDEAVOUR IS LOST!!" while cursing, "CURSE THAT DECKEN... WHY ISN'T HE DEAD YETI!!" Luffy refuses, "I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO ANYWHERE NEAR HER!!" Hody Jones attacks from below, declaring, "AS LONG AS HE HAS A SINGLE BREATH OF LIFE LEFT IN HIM, THE SHIP WON'T START FALLING!!" and "ALRIGHT, CRY-HOSHI! KEEP ON GOING!!" Inside the Noah, the ship begins drifting as someone shouts, "THE SHIP'S STARTED TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE!!" Hody vows, "I'LL CHASE YOU DOWN UNTIL YOU DIE A PAINFUL DEATH..." while Luffy struggles, "UGH... MY GRIP IS BARELY STRONG ENOUGH!!"

A massive chained sphere hurtles downward through the water. The villainous fish-man throws his head back in manic triumph, shouting "IT'S OVER!! I'VE WON!!!" and "JAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! PERFECT TIMING!!!" Luffy stares upward in horror, glasses slipping, screaming "AHHHH HHHHHH HH...!!!!" as smaller panels show the chained object plummeting past startled fish-men. A close-up of the snarling fish-man declares "...IS IN PERIL!!! FISHMAN ISLAND..." Below, Shirahoshi gasps for breath with "*PANT*..." and cries out in shock, "WHATI!! THE NOAH IS... FALLING!!!" Her wide eyes fill with dread as she whispers "NO... THIS CAN'T BE..." The enormous Noah, bound in heavy chains and wheels, plummets straight toward Fish-Man Island, trailing bubbles and debris.
