The color splash page displays the chapter title at the top: Chapter 186 “4”. A large ONE PIECE logo with a yellow star spans the top. In the foreground stands a tall, muscular, shirtless man wearing a black mask, black pants, boots, and a red sash, with a prominent stitched scar across his chest. He holds two swords, one drawn. To his right, a large mechanical hippo vehicle carries a straw-hatted figure in a yellow shirt marked “1+6=4” sitting cross-legged on top, while another crew member aims a massive cannon from the side. A small bird flies nearby. A black pirate flag waves from a distant structure on the left.

Tony Tony Chopper stands in the upper left panel wearing his hat with an X, looking concerned as large “オオオ” sound effects surround him. In the upper right panel a defeated man lies on the ground with a massive weapon barrel beside him, sweat drops visible; speech bubbles read “THEY BETTER NOT GET BACK UP ANYMORE…” and “PLEASE…!”. The lower wide panel shows Chopper standing over the fallen figure on a sandy shore with cliffs and clouds in the background. Large “オオオオオオオ…” sound effects stretch across the sky as the defeated man lies motionless with impact marks near his head.

A massive explosion rocks the area as debris flies. Someone cries out, "...NO! N... They're alive... FO..." A bear-like figure sweats heavily, thinking, "This is bad... I've already used up half of the RUMBLE BALL'S TIME LIMIT." Usopp charges forward desperately on a ruined street, shouting, "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS! WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED ANYWAYS! THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN BEAT THESE MONSTERS!" An ally yells "USOPP!I" as impact lines and "ダ!!ダ!!" SFX erupt. Usopp continues running while a voice warns, "After all your little tricks and games... YOUR FRIEND IS RIGHT... USOPP, STOP! YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!"

Usopp is struck violently, screaming "GAHHH! AH!" as an enemy taunts, "You think you can just get away scot-freeI" and "USOPP!" A large foe pins him down, declaring, "A weakling for a captain makes for followers that are even weaker.." Usopp gasps, "Captain...!I A-are you talking about Luffy...!I" Nearby, a dog-like figure reacts in shock: "Luffy's... dead...I" The large foe continues, "THE REBELLION'S ALREADY STARTED AND YOUR CAPTAIN'S NOW DEAD. YOU PICKED THE WRONG PEOPLE TO MESS WITH. MR. 0 TOOK CARE OF HIM. IF YOU MEAN STRAW-HAT LUFFY, THEN HE'S NOTHING BUT A STONE COLD CORPSE BY NOW." The dog-masked character sweats, murmuring "D..."

In the ruined royal city, a distant figure reacts with "HmI" as an enemy shouts, "DON'T GO AROUND SPOUTIN' CRAP ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU MOLE-HAG!" Usopp, bloodied and enraged, roars, "THAT SOME DUMB CROC OF SAND COULD EVER KILL LUFFY! THERE'S NOT A CHANCE IN HELL... HE'S GOING TO BE THE FUTURE PIRATE KING, SO THERE'S NO WAY HE'D DIE IN THIS COUNTRY!" The mole-hag replies coolly, "Not a chance in hellI That's something you only say when you have concrete proof..."

Usopp staggers as the enemy bursts into mocking laughter: "AHAHAHAHA! P... PIRATE KING!I Pfff!" Usopp wheezes "FOOO...! FOO...! FOO...!" while the foe continues ridiculing, "PIRAKING! HAHAHA! PIKING! HAHAHA! PK! HAHAHA! ENOUGH JOKING AROUND!" Close-up on the bleeding Usopp yelling "FOOOO!" The mole-hag snaps, "You should never again babble about something so stupid out here in the Grand Line! Honestly, for god's sake! Deluded idiots like him are better off dead!" Usopp collapses with "D! AHAHAHA! WHAT A DUMBASS! DUM!"

Chopper stares in shock with wide eyes and a sweat drop as Usopp leaps forward laughing. "Ahahaha! LISTEN UP, CHOPPER!" Usopp shouts. The ground erupts violently beneath them. "GAHHH!" someone screams as massive clouds of dirt and debris explode outward. "AHHH!" cries another voice. "MOLEHILL HIGHWAY!" Usopp declares. "TIME FOR YOU TO DIE TOO, LONG NOSE!" A massive Japanese SFX "ボコボコココ" rumbles across the page. In the lower panels a battered figure gasps, "DIE!" while another stammers, "Y-YOU'RE FIGHTING... TERRIFYING ENEMIES...! EVEN WHEN..."

Usopp is hurled high into the air by a tremendous underground strike, limbs flailing as rubble flies everywhere. "MOLE IMPACT!" the attack is labeled. Below, Chopper watches in horror, muttering fragmented thoughts: "DUNHAB... A JANSIN HELL... OR WINNI... (don't have a chance in hell of winning)" while another voice stammers "EBEN... (even) E... WEN YU... (when you)". The massive dog-bazooka wielder braces and yells, "LET'S DO THIS THEN! MOLEHILL..." Multiple "FO...!" and "FO!" sound effects ring out as he prepares another strike. "MR. 4! BATTER UP!" someone calls.

The massive bazooka-dog fires a devastating point-blank blast labeled "4TH ROAD INTERSECTION!" Usopp is sent flying backward through the air amid black impact stars and debris. "PANT PANT" the dog pants heavily. In close-up Usopp's face twists in pain with "USOPP!" shouted as cross-shaped impact marks and stars cover his battered expression.

Usopp crashes down hard amid swirling dust and impact lines while a large Japanese SFX "ドギャァァァン" echoes. "YOU BAS-TARDS!" he roars furiously. Close-ups show Chopper's determined eyes and sweat, followed by Usopp's glaring face. "WHAT!I HE'S STILL-" a voice exclaims in shock. Usopp continues, "NO MATTER WHAT! THERE ARE TIMES... WHEN YOU HAVE TO FIGHT... IF YOU'RE A MAN..." as he struggles back to his feet with small "+ +..." marks floating near him.

A large close-up shows a man in a plaid cap and overalls crying heavily as he declares, "IS WHEN YOUR FRIEND'S DREAMS ARE LAUGHED AT!" and "AND THAT TIME," with tears and sweat flying. Smaller panels below depict distant figures on clouds: "The pirate king one day..." "I know he'll become," "Luffy's not dead." "THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD'VE STOOD UP AFTER THAT HIT, MUCH LESS BE EVEN ALIVE! HE MUST'VE USED SOME TRICK!" "HOW THE HELL DID HE SURVIVE A 4 TON BAT HIT TO THE HEAD!I" In the lower panels Mr. 4 swings his massive bat, shouting "One more time, Mr. 4!" with "FOO...!" and impact sounds. A furious close-up of the same man roars, "SO THAT'S ONE THING I WON'T LET YOU LAUGH AT!"

Chopper stands in a ruined town square and shouts, "TIME TO SHOW YOU MY TRANSFORMATIONS!" as an opponent yells "AS IF I'D LET YOU!" He transforms into a massive horned form labeled "HORN POINT," antlers stretching wide with "stretch" effects. In the next sequence Mr. 4 charges on his mole-like partner; Chopper calls "CHOPPER! GET BEHIND ME!" while the partner answers "GOT IT!" Mr. 4 swings, declaring "EVEN IF YOU ACT TOUGH, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO WITH THAT WEAK BODY OF YOURS!" as impact lines and "ボッコッ...!!!" explode across the panel.

Mr. 4 leaps high with his bat, yelling "BATTER UP, MR. 4!" and "FOOO!" while the mole partner dives underground. Three small panels show the partner emerging: "MOLEHILL..." "READYI" "SQUEEZE..." "CERTAIN KILL..." Mr. 4 then swings again with "FOOO!I" and launches a smoking projectile labeled "SMOKE STAR!" as "ポォォォォォ!" and impact effects fill the page.

Chopper is hurled backward with "ばッ!!" and popping sounds while shouting "YOUR TURN, CHOPPER!" Mr. 4's partner yells "DAMMIT! THAT BRAT JUMPED OUT OF HIS SHOES!" and "HUH!I" as Chopper's voice answers "LEAVE IT TO ME!" The partner is struck and cries "NO, WAIT! IT'S ME, MR. 4!" "MOLEHILL 4TH ROAD INTERSECTION!" "WHATI" "AGH!" while Chopper's antlers smash through with "がばっ!!" and the partner gasps "FO..."

A massive black cannonball hurtles forward with intense speed lines. In the upper panel a frantic dog-like figure with goggles and a cap yells desperately, "STOP YOU ID-". The projectile slams into a cloaked fighter below, sending the figure sprawling amid explosive impact lines and debris. A tiny silhouette is blasted high into the air. The cloaked combatant, wearing an ornate patterned coat and tall collar, reels from the crushing blow as massive onomatopoeia and "!!!!I" erupt across the page.

Small panels show two barking dog-like creatures racing across ruins with motion lines and "ゴゴ" sound effects. A terrified Usopp sweats heavily, eyes bulging, mouth open in panic with "FOP" and "......" bubbles. In the large center panel Chopper in heavy-point reindeer form lunges forward, antlers lowered, shouting "CERTAIN KILL SUPER USOPP..." while stretching an arm and yelling "STRETCH...". Usopp calls from the side, "HEY, SLOW-POKE! LOOK OVER HERE!". The bottom erupts as Chopper delivers a devastating flying kick labeled "HAMMER COMET!", striking an unseen target with massive impact effects while Usopp reacts in shock below.

A whirlwind of motion lines and debris fills the page as the cloaked fighter is hurled violently through the air, limbs flailing. Huge stylized impact lettering "ズン" and "ブン" dominate the frame. In a distant wide shot the same figure lands hard amid ruined stone gates and pillars, a small "AREPI" bubble appearing overhead. The final panel shows another massive swirling impact with the fighter at its center, body twisted inside the blast radius.

The cloaked fighter crashes spectacularly amid flying rocks and debris, sneezing "ACHOO!" while rolling across the ground. Four small inset panels follow: a baseball rolling with "tic toc tic toc...", a dizzy dog-like creature, Usopp's battered face, and a spinning four-leaf clover shield. A large framed announcement declares "Winner: Usopp & Chopper" beside the boxed title "Battle at Alubarna Southeastern Gates". In the smoky aftermath Usopp lies injured as Chopper cries out, "USOPP! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!I DON'T DIE ON ME!" and "W-WE NEED A DOCTOR HERE!". A tiny voice answers, "That'd be YOU!".
