The Conclusion

A girl with wide eyes and a striped hat stares in shock, sweat drops flying as she exclaims, "IS JUST LIKE THAT OF A BODILESS GHOST!! AND THAT YOU CAN FREELY CHANGE YOUR SIZE". Beside her, a long-nosed man with a bandaged head glares furiously, shouting, "THAT YOU CAN PASS THROUGH PEOPLE AND WALLS, HAA, THE FACT THAT I CAN SEE YOU, THAT YOU CAN FLY,". The scene shifts to a close-up of a large, ornate gauntlet-like weapon. A voice continues, "AND LOOK AT IT THAT WAY, YOU CAN ASSUME YOU HAD A BODY TO START WITH...!!! BUT IF YOU THINK BACK TO HOW I WAS FOLLOWING YOU AROUND BEFORE". In a grand hall, the girl in striped leggings points accusingly, declaring, "THE ONE HIDING OVER THERE IS YOUR REAL BODY!! I WON'T BE FOOLED ANYMORE." A black silhouette lunges forward with a massive weapon as impact lines and debris erupt; the narration notes, "AND MADE THIS GHOST OF YOURSELF!! IN THE END, YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPENING I GAVE YOU." The long-nosed man lies sprawled on the floor as the attacker looms over him.

Perona sits regally atop a grand, cross-adorned throne in a vast hall, her striped stockings and frilly dress prominent as impact lines and motion effects burst around her. In the long corridor below, a small figure lies on the checkered floor while Perona floats nearby. A voice declares, "YOU GOT SOME COURAGE FROM THAT MASK JUST NOW, RIGHTI" Another adds, "KUU!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST A NEGATIVE DUMBASS." The seated speaker continues, "I'M SURPRISED YOU CAN USE YOUR HEAD ONCE YOU'VE CALMED DOWN...!! BUT YOU ARE ONLY 9/10 CORRECT." Usopp, gripping his slingshot, reacts with shock: "I SEE...!! THEN, IF YOU WERE TO LOSE A BODY TO RETURN TO, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU!I" Perona's face fills the panel as she states, "I'M A FULLY CONSCIOUS HOLLOW!! I'M NOT A GHOST BEING CONTROLLED BY THE REAL BODY!! I WILLINGLY CAME OUT OF MY REAL BODY."

Usopp launches his attack from the foreground, shouting "HISSATSU!! 'DAIBAKUHATSU BOSHI'!!!!" as a massive projectile streaks toward the distant throne. He thinks, "IF I ATTACK THAT, THERE'S NO MISTAKE IT WILL HIT, RIGHT!!I" The star explodes violently with "バシュンッ!!!!" and "バズン!!" effects, shattering stone and sending debris flying. Perona recoils in alarm, yelling "BASTARD!! STOP IT!!!" Usopp presses on, "GEEZ, ONE MORE!!" as more impacts erupt with "キィィ!!" and "HAA". Perona, eyes wide, warns, "THAT'S DANGEROUS! YOU MISSED, AND APPARENTLY IT MISFIRED!!!" while the throne and surroundings crumble under the barrage.

Perona unleashes a massive ghost from her body, shouting "I WON'T LET YOU!! 'SPECIAL HOLLOW'!!!" as the enormous hollow lunges forward with a wide, toothy grin. The striped-pants fighter recoils in shock, "!!I". In the next moment the hollow slams into him; Perona declares, "STRUGGLE ALL YOU WANT!! I WON'T LET YOU INJURE MY BODY." The man is sent flying, screaming "OWAAA!!!" while small negative ghosts float nearby. Observers react: "WOAH!! DON'T TELL ME IT'S THE SAME AS..." and "YOU MEAN 'SPECIAL BIG EDITION'...!I". The fighter struggles on the ground, thinking "EVEN IF I STRUGGLE, I CAN'T TOUCH THIS GHOST," as the giant hollow expands with "SHURUN!!". It detonates in a huge blast marked "PAAAN!!", the man yelling "MY BODY WILL BE TORN TO PIECES!" while another voice cries out in panic, "WAI...!! HEY, WAIT A SECOND!! IF THIS IS THE SAME ATTACK AS THOSE SMALL ONES, AND IF SOMETHING THIS BIG WERE TO EXPLODE,".

Perona's face is shown in close-up with narrowed eyes and a small "..." bubble, followed by "PACHI...!!" and a dramatic impact sound "ドカン...!!!". She then launches a spinning attack, crying "KAMIKAZE WRAP!!!" with "PACHIN!!" and "オオォォォ" effects as the striped-pants fighter is hurled through the air. Perona laughs "HORO HORO HORO!! THAT'S A SHAME, NEGATIVE NOSE!!" and warns, "AT MY SIGNAL, YOUR BODY WILL FLY AROUND IN PIECES!!" while the fighter plummets, thinking "....!!" and "HYUHSH...". A close-up shows a gloved hand firing a weapon with "シュバァァ..." and "HAA" sounds. The fighter mutters, "IF YOU ARE WONDERING, 'THAT ATTACK, JUST NOW, IS THIS YOUR SHELL!!' THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE....!" as another figure reacts with shock: "EH!!I IT DISAPPEARED!!!!I" and "HAA...".

Perona stares in shock as her attack fails to connect. "THE ONE THAT I MANAGED TO SHOOT, THE 'DAIBAKUHATSU BOSHI'... WAS A LIE!! AND IT DIDN'T MISFIRE; THAT'S A 'TORIMOCHI BOSHI'!!!!" she realizes. "HM!!I I CAN'T MOVE...!!!!" she cries, body frozen. "WHAT'S GOING ON...!I" A voice explains, "WITH THIS I CAN TAKE DOWN YOUR REAL AND HOLLOW BODY WITH ONE STONE!!! I MADE PREPARATIONS SO THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MOVE WHEN YOU RETURNED TO YOUR BODY!!" Perona sweats, thinking "DAMN...!!!!" and "HMMI" The scene shifts to a grand hall where a massive hippo-like zombie looms. "NICE TIMING...!!" Perona notes. "KILL HIM, VICE-COMMANDER HIPPO GENTLEMAN!!" she orders. The Hippo Gentleman charges with a massive anchor weapon as the narration labels "TAISHOU: COMMANDER IN CHIEF" and "*BIRD LINE STAR". "SO YOU ARE THE ONE THAT PURIFIED KUMASHI-TAISHOU," the Hippo Gentleman growls.

The Hippo Gentleman swings his massive anchor. "IMPACT"!!! he roars as the blow lands with explosive force. "IT HURTS-----!!! MY ARM IS FALLING OFF-----!!!" he howls in pain. "THIS GUY IS ACTUALLY STRONG!I" Perona gasps, eyes wide. "WHA..." she stammers. "OOH" comes a reaction from nearby. In a dramatic follow-up, a bald figure launches a spinning wheel attack. "HISSATSU 'KUROBIKARI BOSHI'!!!" he shouts as the technique flies. The narration marks "*BLACK LUSTER STAR". The Hippo Gentleman is sent flying backward through the hall. "HIPPO GENTLEMAN-----" echoes as the impact connects.

A terrified close-up shows a wide eye and sweating face as something crawls nearby. KASA KASA sounds echo while small dark shapes skitter across the ground. An explosion erupts with ば サ!! as a figure is blasted backward, LIWAH, amid flying debris and distant structures. The view widens to the massive Tower of Justice at Enies Lobby, chains and wheels spinning wildly under the force of an impact. A huge voice bellows GYAAAAA~~~!!! while another shouts COCK-ROACH-ES~~~!!! A.K.A "COCKROACH STAR"!! In the foreground a girl with pigtails and a large bow thrashes in panic, eyes spiraling, KYA~~~~!! THEY WENT INSIDE MY CLOTHES!! NOO... I HATE COCKROACHES!! I'M SCARED OF THEM, KUMASHI!! UE~~~~N!!! KASA KASA continues as she cries THIS IS DIS-GUSTING~~~!!! SOMEONE TAKE THEM OFF!! SAVE ME~~~ I CAN'T RUN AWAY~~~!! and lets out a piercing いゃあああ scream.

A massive armored figure looms with a cross emblem, declaring YOU DEEPLY UNDERESTIMATED ME... while a distant rider on a huge hammer warns THERE ARE OTHER THINGS, BESIDES COCKROACHES, THAT YOU SHOULD BE MORE SCARED OF... LIKE ME...!!!! The girl recoils in shock, WHERE DO YOU HAVE THAT POWER!!II STOP IT, PLEASE!! I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO RUN!! A grinning man with a massive hammer boasts I'M KNOWN AS THE STRONGEST SUPERHUMAN IN THE EAST BLUE. Below, Usopp pleads I WON'T TOUCH YOUR NAKAMA, SO PLEASE!! while the girl begs THE HAMMER, NO!!! THE COCKROACHES AND THE HAMMER, PLEASE. TAKE OFF THE COCKROACHES, TOO...!!! I'M GONNA DIE!!! HEY!!! The hammer swings with heavy ゴッ ゴッ ゴッ ゴッ impacts as the girl screams NOO~!!! "GO~~~LD-EN"~...!!! and the rider yells SPARE ME!! PLEASE STOP~!!!

A devastating blow erupts across the page with a massive "POUND"!!! impact, sending shockwaves and debris flying as one fighter is hurled backward. A long-haired woman on the ground reacts sharply with "!!!". In the aftermath, smaller panels reveal a bald man with a tense expression, sweat drops flying as he mutters "ハ？ ハ！", followed by bubbling sounds "ブクブク..." near another figure. Distant shots show the aftermath of the clash with scattered figures and a long weapon lying on the ground.

A towering figure with a massive weapon stands amid the ruined hall, laughing "KARA KARA" while declaring, "THAT LOSES CONSCIOUSNESS FROM A 'BALLOON' AND 'TOY COCKROACHES'....! I DON'T HAVE ANY USE FOR A PRINCESS OF THE HAUNTED MANSION...". The opponent, face twisted in rage, shouts back, "YOU WERE WRONG FOR CHALLENGING 'NEGATIVITY' AND 'LIES'!!!" with SFX "ばッ ん!! どキッ". The final wide panel shows the hall collapsing under a massive "ドゴーン" impact as the figure yells, "SLEEP UNTIL DAWN!!!" while smaller figures are thrown through the air amid debris and "ハラララララ!!" laughter.

A massive explosion rocks the tower as a powerful impact sends debris flying. "オオオ" echoes with "ZUBAH!!" A dark silhouette of a man in a suit is hurled violently through the air, limbs outstretched, swords or rods spinning away. "ガラガラ..." rumbles as he crashes into the stone structure, shattering it with "...!!!" The force blasts him downward in a cloud of rubble and smoke. Below, the impact erupts in a fiery explosion that tears through the lower levels of the grand judicial tower, sending chunks of masonry and wooden beams outward in all directions amid swirling dust and shockwaves.

The tower continues to crumble under the assault. A skeleton-like figure stands with mouth open, "HAA". Nearby, a man with styled hair and a heavy chain necklace shouts in shock, "IN OTHER WORDS... WHAT DID IT MEANI HAA THEN..." Another voice questions, "DIDN'T THAT SAMURAI SAY SOMETHING JUST NOWI" with a quiet "..." response. The massive structure collapses further in a storm of debris. At the bottom of the page, a wide view shows the ruined tower as narration declares, "THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS KIND OF BATTLE." A final voice concludes, "IT SEEMS TO BE THE CONCLUSION...!!!" amid heavy "ゴゴゴゴ" rumbling and "ゴゴゴ" sound effects.

A massive explosion erupts across the battlefield, sending debris and smoke billowing outward. A long sword spins through the air amid the chaos. A powerful figure lies sprawled on the ground, partially obscured by thick clouds of dust and impact lines. A speech bubble reads, "THAT SAMURAI... WHEN HE FOUGHT ME..." In the next panel the same armored warrior rises dramatically, cloak and hair whipping in the wind, gripping a massive jagged sword. Impact effects and motion lines surround him as he declares, "HE WASN'T SERIOUS AT ALL...!!!!" Large stylized sound effects punctuate the scene.

Five minutes earlier in Hogback's laboratory, a tall gothic tower looms under the label "*CLEAR AUTUMN WATER". Brook's voice rings out with his signature laugh, "YOHOHOHOHO", as he shouts, "THIS BLACK SWORD, 'SHUUSUI,' YOU ARE GONNA TAKE IT FROM ME!I" In the present, Brook stands before a stone gate, swords drawn, facing a white-haired swordsman. A spiky-haired man in the foreground warns, "IT... IT'S BETTER IF YOU DON'T PROVOKE HIM TOO MUCH...!!!" The white-haired swordsman replies, "I SEE...!!! THEN WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, YOHOHOHO!!" while another voice states, "TO BE MORE PRECISE... I'M GONNA TAKE IT FROM YOUR CORPSE." Large onomatopoeia "オオオオ" fills the air.

Roronoa Zoro glares forward with intense focus, three swords at the ready. "I WON'T FEEL GOOD UNTIL I REPLACE IT. ONE IS BROKEN. I'M A SANTOURYUU, AFTER ALL." The bandaged, skull-masked opponent looms close, replying, "BUT YOU SEEM TO ALREADY HAVE 3 OF THEM." In a wider view inside the stone chamber with stairs and curtains, the tall cloaked figure stands with multiple blades drawn and declares, "IT'S A SHAME I CAN'T SHOW IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW. IS IT SOME KIND OF ACROBATICSI YOHOHOHO. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT!! AND I ALSO WANTED TO BREAK THAT LOW SEPTUM OF YOURS." Zoro faces him across the floor. The cloaked swordsman continues, "IT'S LIKE IF SOME HUGE CREATURE WAS COMING TO ELIMINATE ME... IT'S A STRANGE, THROBBING FEELING...!!! FEELS LIKE MY BODY WANTS TO DANCE." Zoro answers, "I SUPPOSE. YOU SEEM STRONG... IT FEELS LIKE YOU MIGHT COME NOT BASED ON MEMORY, BUT WITH EMOTION." Large sound effects punctuate the tense standoff.

The duel erupts in a massive clash. Zoro lunges with a powerful overhead strike, blades flashing amid explosive impact lines and debris as huge stylized sound effects "ギュギュギュ" and "!!!" fill the panel. Close-ups capture the masked opponent's gritted teeth and Zoro's fierce grin. The opponent recoils in shock, shouting, "DOWAH... THAT SCARED ME!!!" A fist clenches tightly. The fighters separate across the cracked stone floor amid flying rubble and a broken barrel, with massive impact SFX "ガバンッ!!!!" and smaller effects "チャキ..." marking the recoil and stance reset.

A spiky-haired fighter with a fierce grin unleashes a powerful strike. "AUBA DE COUP DROIT!!!" The attack erupts in a massive explosion of smoke, debris, and impact lines against a heavy wooden gate. A cloaked swordsman is hurled backward by the blast. Nearby allies react in shock: "!!I UWOOO!!" In close-up panels the attacker glares intensely while an opponent with a skull-like mask and another wide-eyed figure with a long nose analyze the move. "BUT EVEN IF I DO THAT TECHNIQUE, IT DOESN'T BECOME LIKE THAT!!!" "TH...!! IT'S A THRUST." "A PISTOL!!I" "...!!!"
