Nightmare

A massive impact shakes the ground as "ガクンッ" echoes. A scarred man with a stern expression says, "How fitting!" In the center, a large stitched-face man with a fur collar laughs wildly, "Kuhahaha... You talk big but in the end, your body won’t even listen to you!" Below, a spiky-haired figure crashes down with a heavy "THUD!", gasping "HUFF" repeatedly amid flying debris and smoke. The scarred man watches from the side as the impact craters the rocky terrain.

The large stitched-face man continues laughing "KUHAHA HAHAHA!" while the spiky-haired figure struggles on the ground, huffing "HUFF" and groaning. A close-up shows the villain's intense glare as he declares, "TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN BEAT ME! IT ALL COMES DOWN," with dramatic speed lines. Multiple speech bubbles continue: "Facing me was just too much for a small-time pirate who just barely started sailing the seas like you... If you can’t beat me here and now, then everything you’ve done up until now WILL HAVE BEEN FOR NAUGHT! In the end, you’re just an insignificant scrap like so many others in this world... No matter how much you care for your friends and no matter how many times you stand up again, To try and stop my plans..."

Inside a stone-walled chamber, a large cylindrical cannon labeled "BAROQUE" with a skull emblem fires with a massive "オオオオオ" blast and "ズズズ!" sound. The projectile streaks across the floor with "ビビビビビ..." impact lines. The scene shifts to an outdoor battle where a swordsman clashes weapons against a dragon-like creature amid "オオオオオ" roars and "ガアアアア" cries. Background structures and a clock tower are visible as the fierce fight erupts with motion lines and debris.

High above the city, a massive clock tower looms as two figures are hurled through the air in a powerful launch. A voice shouts, "I'M LAUNCHING YOU OFF NOW!" Below, the small reindeer-like Tony Tony Chopper and the girl with pigtails brace themselves amid swirling motion lines and impact effects. Chopper yells, "READY, CHOPPER!I VIVI!I" while multiple "Ribbitt!" and "Oho!" cries echo from the tumbling pair. In the lower panels, a stern-faced blond man with a curly eyebrow glares intensely and mutters "Mmhmm!" as the launch sequence begins.

The two figures smash together mid-air with a massive "SMASH!" and "READY" impact. A timer box reads "6 seconds before cannon-fire." Chopper shouts, "EXPLODE WHEN THEY BUMP INTO EACH OTHER!" while a confident woman with a star on her cheek declares, "HEY, LISTEN! THE BULLETS FOR OUR GUNS," as dice-like projectiles fly. The pair hurtles downward toward the tower with dramatic speed lines and "GOOO!" effects, the cannon visible far below.

The chaotic descent continues with huge "バン" and "ドン" sound effects. A timer shows "5 seconds left." Chopper and Vivi tumble wildly; someone yells "ZORO!" as a bandaged figure appears. A voice notes, "That dumbass took a full blast..." Chopper cries "SMASH!" while another figure shouts "It's all futile! Ohohoho!" and "Ribbitt ribbit! Run as you might." The cannon barrel looms large in the background.

With "4 seconds left," the frantic action peaks. A figure is flung through the air as voices cry "WHO'S HE!I" and "OHO!I" The cannon fires with a massive blast; someone screams "The hell!I" and "SHRINK!" Chopper yells "THROW ME AS HARD AS YOU CAN, TONY!" while Vivi calls "HERE WE GO, VIVI!" A panicked character shouts "Did we assess wrongly!I" and "WHERE'S MS. WEDNESDAY!I" as debris and motion lines fill the scene.

High above the clock tower, a spiraling object hurtles downward amid motion lines and impact bursts. On the tower face, the clock ticks as a voice mutters "tsc..." A large panel shows the massive clock mechanism with "CLUNK!" and a boxed timer reading "3 seconds left." From the structure, a cloaked figure plummets while someone shouts "FROM ABOVE!I" Below, a fish-faced man with wide eyes and sweat drops yells in panic. Beside him, a woman with hair in a bun grips and spins a weapon, declaring "PEACOCK STRING..." as it "twirl..."s through the air. Another figure with goggles joins the cry of "GOOO!" as the countdown presses on.

The aerial clash erupts with a massive "SLASHER!" title as two cloaked figures—one with a 7 on the back—dive and slash through the air amid "ピュッ!!" and "ピュッ!!" sound effects. A shocked "!!!" reaction cuts in. The timer box now reads "2 seconds left." Below, the fish-faced man and long-haired woman tumble in midair. A black silhouette looms over a fiery scene as a woman in a dress and a curly-haired man react with "WHAI" In close-up, the long-haired woman smirks and taunts "You missed!" while the fish-faced man and a round creature retort "Ribbit ribbit! Too bad, so sad!"

The spinning figures continue their descent with "RUNBACK!" as one is hurled away. A large "!!!" reaction follows. The timer box updates to "1 second left." Scattered panels show the fish-faced man and long-haired woman still airborne near the clock tower. A close-up reveals a scarred man with a grim expression gritting his teeth as motion lines and debris fly past. Nearby, the fish-faced man and long-haired woman stare in shock. The scarred man’s face fills the final panel with wide eyes and clenched jaw amid impact effects.

A triumphant man with long black hair and a fur-collared coat laughs skyward amid floating debris, declaring "IT'S OVER!" A wide establishing shot reveals a massive fortress-like structure built into a rocky mountain under a cloudy sky. In the aftermath panels, several figures lie defeated on the ground amid rubble and smoke. The long-haired man stands over the scene with a stern gaze. Nearby, a goateed man in a dark coat looks on grimly as two more unconscious bodies rest in the debris.

A determined girl with short black hair and goggles grips her weapon tightly. Nearby, Pell in his falcon Zoan form clashes fiercely with armored foes amid swirling sand and ancient Arabasta architecture. Swords flash as the battle rages across rooftops. A radiant panel highlights the royal palace as a voice cries out "VIVI!". Guards burst from a hidden passage in panic. "AHHH! IT'S THE GUARD! RUN!" one shouts. Another yells, "AHHH! YOU KIDS SNUCK IN HERE THROUGH THE HIDDEN PATH AGAIN, DIDN'T YOU!I" A hooded figure with a staff lunges forward, roaring "COME OUT AND PLAY!" as chaos erupts inside the dim corridors.

Vivi smiles and waves cheerfully, replying "YES, HAVE FUN THEN." Pell stands tall in the colonnade, asking "ARE YOU HEADING OUT, PRINCESSI" Chaka answers nearby, "YUP! TO THE SECRET BASE! BUT IT'S A SECRET!" and adds "COMMANDER PELL AND CHAKA! COULD YOU PLEASE SAY SOMETHING TO THOSE BRATS!I" Pell responds calmly, "HMI OH, SURE." The scene shifts to a fierce aerial clash between Pell and a horned, winged opponent amid explosions and debris. Below, a cloaked man sits in a wooden shelter as narration notes "THE WEATHER IS FINE AGAIN TODAY..." A voice wonders "WHERE'S THE PRINCESSI" while another mutters "I CAN'T SAY... IT'S A SECRET." Laughter echoes: "HAHA... THE CLOCK TOWER AGAINI"

Massive sound effects "クアァァァ" shake the clock tower as a bird flies past the moonlit skyline. Pell battles a horned, armored warrior on horseback in a violent mid-air struggle filled with impact lines and flying debris. A cyborg-like figure sweats heavily, asking "...DID WE STOP IT!I" Below, three figures stand before the clock tower as more "クアァァァ" effects ring out across the city.

A battered girl with a head wound pants heavily, "HUFF HUFF" as smoke drifts from a fuse. Inside the clock tower mechanism, a cloaked figure sits beside ticking gears marked "トコ..." while massive impact effects "ギャアアア" and "チラララ" erupt around the turning gears. Close-ups show the girl's intense expression with more "トコ" sounds. The tower exterior looms with an enormous eye-like clock face as the sounds continue.

Sanji stares in shock as a massive black slash tears through the air. "...What, you still aliveI" he mutters. Zoro coughs violently while being hurled backward, swords flashing. "...D-DID WE STOP IT!I" someone cries amid the chaos. The impact sends debris flying as Usopp is blasted away with a loud "UGH!" and "オーン!!" sound effects. In the next scene Usopp, now in his black cap and goggles, yells "WHAT THE HELL JUST FELL ON ME!I" while Chopper panics nearby. A gorilla-masked man growls "UGHH..." as smoke and impact lines fill the panel. Below, the ruined plaza shows Igaram, Vivi, Cobra, and Pell standing amid rubble. Vivi refuses to show her face. Chopper and Usopp look around nervously. "Something's strange..." "What happenedI" voices ask as unreadable large SFX "ワアアア" rumble across the sky.

Crocodile's face fills the panel, scarred and furious. "YOU FOWL, HEINOUS..." he snarls as impact sounds "ガラ" and "ガラ" echo. In the ruined clock tower he continues, "If something were to happen to the one in charge of firing the cannon, then it's only logical to have the bomb explode on its own! It only amounts to a difference of a few seconds." Cobra glares back. Crocodile smirks, "Haha... At least call me meticulous, Mr. Cobra...! A 'plan' is something that can cover all possible accidents and scenarios..." The massive explosion "ゴゴゴゴ" shakes the tower. Crocodile laughs "KUHAHA HAHA!" while Cobra sweats in horror. "But oh well. Even with the blast center located all the way up there, there should still be quite a lot of casualties. I would have preferred the bomb be shot down right into the middle of the palace square," Crocodile adds coldly.

Nami's face twists in panic, ponytail flying. "THE BOMB IS ON A TIMER! IT'S STILL GOING TO EXPLODE IF LEFT ALONE!" she screams. "WE'RE IN TROUBLE! VIVI!!" Vivi stands frozen on a rooftop as "ワアアア" sound effects fill the air. Close-ups show Crocodile's menacing grin, Nami's wide eyes, Sanji's shocked face, Zoro's glare, and Chopper's terrified expression with "!!!I" and "W..." reaction bubbles. The final wide panel reveals the vast cityscape of Arabasta with the bomb's timer visibly counting down amid swirling clouds and motion lines. "WHAAAT!I" Nami's enormous shout erupts from the left as the full horror of the situation dawns on the Straw Hats.
