Chapter title page shows Nami standing confidently in a tropical port town, left hand on her hip and right arm extended in a thumbs-up gesture. A sign around her neck reads "Where Ever." Beside her, a small fox-like creature wearing a bandana and goggles also gives a thumbs-up while lying on the ground next to an empty barrel. A large suitcase marked with a skull and crossbones rests nearby. In the background stands a wooden building labeled "coffee," a sign pointing to "ROUTE 666," and distant structures under a cloudy sky with birds flying overhead.

A man in a black hat and coat stands on a wooden pier overlooking the sea, repeatedly hiccuping and vomiting into the water while muttering "All that booze comin' right back out... What a waste... May you rest in peace..." Nearby, the fox-like creature lies on its back holding a "NEWS PAPER," laughing "Ehehehee Eheheee!" The man continues with "What a waste... HIC!" and "O' God of Rum, thanks for anotha day of inebriation..." as birds fly and waves splash with sound effects "COO" and "SPRINKLE..."

Marshall D. Teach sits on the ground examining bounty posters, saying "Heh, I'm already in a lawless town. As if I really need to be introduced to more pirates... Oh, the papers, ehI Let's see what kinda bad news we got... HmI Oh wait, these are bounty posters." He reacts with shock, sweat flying, as the posters reveal large bounties. His eyes bulge and he screams "ONE HUNDRED MILLION!I" while counting "Hundred THOUSAND, MILLION, TEN MILLION..." with heavy sweat drops and impact lines.

Luffy sprints desperately through a dense forest with motion lines and speed effects "ドドドドド" as a speech bubble declares "3 HOURS, LUFFY!" Nami appears in close-up, pointing forward with a determined expression, saying "IF WE CAN'T SET SAIL BY THEN," while Luffy crashes through branches yelling "AGH-" and "Hッ!!" They tumble down a steep slope with "WHOA!" and "THEN IT'S GOING TO BE YOU WHO LET THE CHANCE TO GO TO SKY ISLAND SLIP BY!" Luffy lands panting heavily with "HUFF" effects.

A narrator reflects, "IT WAS A PERSONAL FIGHT BETWEEN ME AND THE MAN WHO RUINED MY LIFE." Luffy stares in shock with wide eyes and sweat drops, "グググ." A figure in a tall hat lies among scattered bubbles, thinking, "THAT THE BUBBLES DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DISAPPEAR NATURALLY. THIS PERSON MUST HAVE BEEN DIVING SO FREQUENTLY." Defeated men lie on the ground as one says, "WE WERE HERE BUT COULDN'T DO A THING... HOW PATHETIC...!" Others murmur, "SORRY... REALLY, SORRY..." In a forest clearing, a lone figure stands amid massive impact lines and debris as a furious voice shouts, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, YOU PRICK!"

Inside a lively bar, patrons laugh wildly as spilled drinks fly. Someone yells, "Those monkeys were hilarious!" and another mocks with "BOOOOSSSS!!!" At a table, a man with a scar and sunglasses says, "Just our captain alone is a monster rookie with a 55 million bounty on his head." Others jeer, "Ha... but cut them a little slack, they were up against you and Bellamy, after all," "Aahahaha! What a pair of dweebs!" and "Should've toughened up if they wanted to protect him that badly! Hahaha!" A cloaked figure bursts in shouting, "BELLAMY!I You're still here!I" Patrons react with surprise, "Those guys who were here earlier during the day are-" and "What's with the fuss at this hour," as a large speech bubble declares, "MAJOR TROUBLE!"

A scarred man glares and snaps, "The hell are you yappin' aboutI Who's gonna kill meI" The cloaked figure roars back, "OR... OR YOU'RE A DEAD MAN! YOU OUGHTA RUN NOW!" A massive smash sends a projectile flying with onomatopoeia "ゴゴォォォォォ..." and "SMASH!" In the bar, shocked patrons stare as one cries, "ONE HUNDRED MILLION...!I" and another gasps, "SIXTY MILLION...!I" Bellamy sits at the table with a fierce expression, surrounded by onlookers.

Patrons panic, "You don't think they'd remember our faces, do youI What if they come back here right now!I" "Aww, crap! We messed with the wrong pirate!" "BOTH HAVE BOUNTIES HIGHER THAN YOU, BELLAMY!" and "THAT'S RIGHT! THOSE TWO GUYS FROM DURING THE DAY..." A wide-eyed man sweats, "I've never even seen a guy with a bounty that high before..." Someone questions, "Are those eyes of yours just for decoration or what!I" while another mocks, "Look at you idiots! Pissin' your panties over a piece of paper!" Laughter erupts, "OH C'MON NOW! AHAHA HAHA HAHA!" A man explains, "His opponents took one look at his ridiculously high bounty and surrendered without a fight, even though they could've easily beaten him." Another adds, "Have you never heard of a pirate who used a fake bounty poster, to make a name for himself purely by bluffingI" Outside, a figure walks away as a sign reads "Finally here."

Inside the crowded bar, panicked patrons shout as a cloaked figure looms. "Just like you retards right now!" one yells. Another sneers, "You're all panicking even after you saw for yourselves how weak he was!" Voices overlap: "You're right! I've never even heard of this 'Straw-hat' fella before!" "But I've never seen anything like that in the papers!" "Now that I think about it, a guy with a bounty in the 9 figures range would've been involved in some major incident." "Dammit, they got us good! Ahh!" Suddenly a massive voice booms across the room: "BELLAMY, SHOW YOURSELF!" The crowd recoils in terror as impact lines and debris fly. From outside, a voice laughs, "Hmph! He had us all scared for a second! GYAHHAHAHAHAHA!"

Bellamy glares with a sharp grin. "Callin' for me in person, is he now..." A tense silence fills the bar as townsfolk stare. Bellamy's eyes narrow. From outside, a sharp "HEY!" rings out. In the next instant Bellamy leaps from the upper floor, shattering wood with a massive "バン...!!" and landing dramatically on the street below as "ドン" echoes. He stands tall amid the town square, cape billowing, staring upward with fierce determination.

Luffy faces Bellamy directly. "Give back diamond-head mister's gold!" he demands. Bellamy smirks, "That's right. I was just talkin' about you... You got business with meI" Luffy presses, "GoldI Oh... You mean that thing that Cricket had." Bellamy's spring-powered arm uncoils violently, smashing through buildings with thunderous "オオオ" impacts as he launches himself across the rooftops. Luffy stands firm on the street below, watching the airborne assault.

Bellamy lands on a rooftop and declares, "Since you're a pirate too, you shouldn't have any reason to butt in... I took that from him fair and square as a pirate. I don't see why I gotta return it..." Luffy glares back with wide eyes. "!!" A tense standoff follows as another figure appears on the roof. Luffy shouts, "So I'm here to take it back! He's my friend!"

A rowdy crowd surrounds Luffy in Mock Town, jeering and laughing. "Just what can a pansy like you doI" one man shouts. "Know how to throw a punchI Hahaha!" another mocks. "Let me ask you... Do you even know how to fight!I" yells a third as the mob erupts in "HAHAHA HAHAHA!" In the next panels, Bellamy stares at Luffy's bounty poster with wide eyes. "That's... Him, no doubt about it," he mutters. Luffy stands firm nearby. "But... If this bounty poster turns out to be real..." A man in a top hat warns, "You still holding onto thatI Tear that bullcrap right now!" Another voice adds, "If he's really worth a hundred million, then even Bellamy won't-" Bellamy looms over Luffy from behind, declaring, "IF YOU KEEP STANDIN' AROUND PISSING YOUR PANTS LIKE YOU DID DURING THE DAY!" He continues, "You ain't gonna take jack shit back from me." Turning to the crowd he sneers, "See for yourself... Does that twerp look in any way like a threatening criminal to youI Even 30 million is doubtful for him." A bystander laughs, "Ha, don't make me laugh..."

Bellamy bursts into laughter. "Oh is that soI Well, what was differentI Maybe this time..." Luffy replies calmly, "During the day. Things were different." Suddenly Bellamy springs forward in a powerful attack, his body twisting like a coil. "I'll shut that deluded mouth of yours for good!" he roars as the impact sends debris flying. The old stone tower begins to crumble. "THE TOWER'S FALLING!" someone cries. Bellamy shouts, "I'll end this in a flash," while Luffy leaps away from the collapsing structure amid falling rubble and panicked onlookers.

Bellamy launches a high-speed spring-powered strike from above. "SPRING SNIPE!" he yells. Luffy narrowly evades the attack, eyes focused. The force of the blow shatters stone and sends Luffy leaping aside with a shout of "LEAP!" Townspeople scatter in terror as Bellamy hurtles toward them. "AHH! HE'S COMING THIS WAY!" "RUN!" they scream while debris and impact lines fill the chaotic street.

The destruction intensifies as Bellamy rebounds with another devastating spring technique. "SPRING HOPPER!" he bellows. Massive stone towers and buildings explode outward in a storm of rubble. Luffy stands amid the chaos, watching the collapsing structures. A voice cries, "Ahh! He stood back up!" Another shouts, "Don't tell me you've died alreadyI" The entire street is engulfed in flying debris and shockwaves as the towers crumble around them.

Luffy stares ahead with a serious expression as laughter erupts around him. "HAHA HAHA! You said he's your friend!I" someone jeers. Another voice cries out, "AHH! This is what he used to finish off Roshio the Executioner!" Bellamy looms in the background with a fierce glare. "Bellamy... disappeared!I" a shocked onlooker exclaims. The scene erupts into chaos as the crowd reacts wildly. Luffy's hat flies off in the wind. Massive text declares "SKY ISLAND!I THE CITY OF GOLD!I" as a long-nosed figure gapes in disbelief. Bellamy's face twists in rage, shouting "HAHA HAHA!" while declaring, "OH I SEE! YOU, THE OLD MAN, AND HIS TWO MONKEYS ARE ALL THE SAME KIND, AREN'T YOUI A BUNCH OF RETARDS WHO GO ON BELIEVING SOME 400 YEAR-OLD LIE!" He continues, "THE AGE OF DREAMS IS OVER, YOU EMBARRASSING EXCUSE OF A PIRATE!" Bellamy lunges forward with a devastating punch, yelling "Finish him off, Bellamy! A dumbass like him doesn't even have the right to live!" Luffy turns his back, replying calmly, "You asked if I knew how to throw a punch..." as the impact lands with a massive "GOOD-BYE," sending shockwaves through the air. "STRAW HAT!" echoes as the blow connects.

A massive impact erupts as Luffy is hurled backward through a wooden table that shatters violently. Debris and splinters fly in all directions. A huge stylized sound effect "ズドン" dominates the panel. Luffy's body twists mid-air from the force of the blow, arms flailing. In the foreground, Bellamy's face appears with wide, shocked eyes and gritted teeth, reacting to the aftermath. The panel captures the raw power of the strike with motion lines and broken wood fragments scattering everywhere. A large "!!!I" reaction bubble emphasizes the stunned silence that follows the devastating hit.

SBS Question Corner page featuring Tony Tony Chopper. Reader D: "Greetings. Why is it that Zoro has his swords held at his right hip when swords are usually worn on the leftI -Quickly-" Oda answers with a humorous explanation and a haiku. Another question about Zoro's swords in volume 21, chapter 194, and page 154 scabbards. Oda confirms mistakes and responds with a haiku: "Hmmm, Oda-sensei. Looks tired again today. The weather is nice, thank you very much for your time today. You're welcome." Final question from D: "I have a serious question for Oda-sensei. How come, in manga, no matter where you go, everyone always speaks the same languageI -By Chobi-" Oda replies: "Because manga is something where everyone's dreams are depicted."
