The title page displays the chapter heading "Chapter 301" and the title "Having Arrived Here." Below it is a large illustration of a Marine ship sailing on the sea near a coastal town, with two dolphins leaping in the foreground. The ship bears the word "MARINE" on its sails and "MARINE" on its hull. Small birds fly in the cloudy sky above the vessel.

A vast temple complex rises on a cloud island amid the ruins of Skypiea. Narration reads: "With the end of the 400-year war in Skypiea," and "The celebration of joy continued throughout the country for several days." In a cluttered campsite, Nami sleeps while Usopp and Chopper try to wake her. Usopp shouts, "HEY, NAMI! WAKE UP THE GUYS!" Nami mumbles, "Mmm...I" Chopper asks, "WhatI" A small panel shows someone sneaking away with a "SNEAK" sound effect. The page ends with a dramatic close-up of Luffy grinning widely, finger to his lips, declaring, "LET'S MAKE OFF WITH THE GOLD!" as he lets out an excited "OSHHH!"

The crew erupts into chaos. Luffy yells, "SHUT UP! I CAN'T SLEEP!" while Nami and Usopp shout over each other: "YOU'RE TALKING WAY LOUDER!" and "BE QUIET! YOU'RE TALKING TOO LOUD!" Nami excitedly asks, "GOLD!I WHERE!I" with sparkling eyes. Usopp complains, "Those blue seas people sure do love to party..." A narration box states, "A lovely morning to you, Nami!" Nami retorts, "HuhI Is it morning alreadyI HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! IT'S NOT EVEN MORNING! YOUR VOICE IS WAAAAY LOUDER THAN MINE!" Usopp protests, "USOPP HIT ME!" The group gathers at dawn overlooking the ruins. Luffy declares, "Let's make the most out of this rare opportunity to be in Skypiea!" The crew sits together as someone concludes, "Alright, so that'll be our plan."

Skypieans call for help: "ANYBODY WITH SOME MUSCLE SHOULD COME TO THE EASTERN SHORE AND HELP AT ONCE!" A warrior replies, "Really!I WE'RE TRYING TO PULL IT BACK UP RIGHT NOW!" Another exclaims, "IT WAS CAUGHT ONTO THE COLLAPSED GIANT JACK!" A large man shouts, "WHAT!I CHIEF! WE FOUND THE GOLDEN BELL!" In a quiet moment, Nico Robin stands alone, thinking: "HERE OF ALL PLACES... JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I COULD FINALLY GIVE UP MY SEARCH... PONegLYPHs, THE STONES THAT CANNOT BE FOUND WITHOUT SEARCHING... THE BELFRY!I" Below, several figures strain to pull something massive, counting "ONE! TWO... THREE!" with grunts of "NGHHH!" "PUUULL!" and "PULL!" as they chant "One more time!"

Shandia villagers and warriors strain together on thick ropes, hauling with all their strength. A voice counts rhythmically, "ONE MORE TIME, EVERYONE! ONE... TWO... THREE!" Another shouts, "THAT'S RIGHT! PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT!" Nearby figures urge, "We have to save it no matter what! It's the pride of our ancestral city!" A frustrated warrior growls, "Damn it! We still need more people!" In a smaller panel, a bandaged figure with a headdress and a skeleton-like companion react with surprise. The massive pull continues as a huge structure shifts, accompanied by the massive sound effect "うおおおおおおおおおお!!" and the command "PULL!" with impact lines showing the collective effort.
Usopp works frantically among the Shandia, stretching rubber bands while others haul iron sheets. He exclaims, "But wait, there's more! Check out these iron sheets! You'd all like some iron, rightI" A close-up shows him testing the bands: "This is what a rubber band isI" with stretching sounds "STREEETCH". A massive warrior bursts into laughter, "GAHAHA HAHAHA!" and declares, "No, I like these rubber bands more! I'd be happy to trade for them! You can trade for these with your dials... I brought over these specially from my ship!" Usopp replies eagerly, "I want some too! Is that okay!I" In another panel, Usopp offers, "Hey, Zoro! You want me to make that katana into a flavour swordI" while a cloaked figure with a beard responds about dials and Nami's clima-tact. Zoro flatly answers, "No thanks."
Zoro stands alert, noting, "They're still inside. As for Robin, she went off somewhere." He wonders aloud, "Where are Luffy and the other guysI Or RobinI" Below, a massive striped snake sleeps soundly amid rubble, marked with "Z Z Z Z". Usopp stares in shock: "HuhI This gentle snakeI" The group debates, "Before it wakes up and causes trouble again. But we better get going. I don't know what it was so happy about, Well, it did dance non-stop for several days... This snake sure sleeps like a log." Suddenly Luffy pops up with wide eyes, shouting, "THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF HERE! LOOK!" The others react in surprise to the snake and the discovery, with lines like "HuhI This gentle snakeI" and "IT'S A TONE DIAL!" as they examine the area.

Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Zoro stand amid glittering gold ruins. Nami cries out in delight, "So pretty! It's just like the one the monkeys had!" while holding up a black spherical device. Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro gape in awe: "AMAZING!" "SEE!" "SEE!" "WHOA, THIS IS REAL TREASURE!" A small creature reacts nearby. Below, the group stares at a massive golden structure being lifted by ropes. Voices exclaim, "It's beautiful... So this is all gold!I" "Amazing!" "We raised it!" Nami warns, "It's too unstable here! Let's bring it up over to Vearth." The massive sound effects "どどどど" and "ギャギャギャ" emphasize the shaking and excitement as the golden hoard is revealed.

At the massive ruins, a towering ancient bell looms over the shattered stone pillars. A winged figure stares upward and declares, "Simply looking at is splendid!" Nearby voices note, "But one of the pillars seem to be broken." The group examines the massive Poneglyph stone covered in dense script. "The stone that our ancestral home and its inhabitants risked their lives to protect...!" someone exclaims. "The Poneglyph... Look over there! This must be," another says. An unseen narrator reads from the stone: "BEAR TRUE MOTIVES AT HEART AND SEAL THY LIPS." The group discusses their duty: "Our duty was simply- It is fine even if we do not know its contents... What do the writings say, chiefI"
Nico Robin stands before the group and reads aloud from the Poneglyph: "TOGETHER WITH THE GREAT BELFRY'S RING." She continues, "WE ARE THOSE WHO WEAVE HISTORY." An elderly bearded man reacts with shock: "So your people must have been the guardians of these words for generations. Those words were engraved... On the ruins of Shandora." A striped-shirt warrior demands, "You... How do you know those words-" Robin turns with a serious expression. The warrior stares in disbelief. From the ruins, a voice calls out, "WAIT...! ARE YOU SAYING... YOU CAN READ THAT SCRIPT!I" Robin remains silent as tension fills the air.
Robin continues translating the Poneglyph as massive script fills the panel: "THE ANCIENT WEAPON THAT BEARS THE NAME OF GOD, 'POSEIDON'... LIES THERE." She steps back, sweat on her face. "THIS ISN'T WHAT I WANTED TO LEARN...!" she thinks. The others react in alarm: "Ancient weapon!I" "TO THINK THAT SUCH DANGEROUS WEAPONS STILL CONTINUE THEIR SLUMBER IN THIS WORLD... ANOTHER WEAPON...! A SEPARATE ONE FROM THE PLUTON IN ALABASTA..." One man asks, "Why is something like that written...!I" Another questions, "...Hey! Aren't the engravings over there written in the same scriptI"
The Poneglyph reveals a shocking addition written in a different hand: "-PIRATE GOL D. ROGER-" followed by "HAVING ARRIVED HERE, I WILL LEAD THIS PASSAGE TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD." The elderly man stares in disbelief: "HOW CAN HE WRITE IN THIS SCRIPT...!I" Robin's eyes widen as she realizes, "HE VISITED SKY ISLAND TOO!I THE PIRATE KING!I" The old man questions further: "Is his name engraved thereI He was a pirate from the blue seas. It was over 20 years ago, but a man by that name came up here to Sky Island." Robin turns and asks, "Do you know himI" The old man replies, "...RogerI Is that what's written thereI"

Amid the ancient ruins beneath the massive bell, voices discuss the engraved proof. "But the undeniable proof is engraved right here..." "How he reached this bell..." "Yes... Although I have no idea," someone replies. Nico Robin stands before the massive poneglyph, reading its text. "Lead this passage..." "Having arrived here, I will lead this passage to the ends of the world..." she states. Examining the carved symbols, she continues, "And this one... Is a poneglyph that records information..." Turning slightly, she explains, "...There are said to be two kinds of poneglyphs. Those that record information... And those that point to the location of the former..." In close-up, sweat drops on her face as her eyes widen in realization. "That the Rio Poneglyph is actually...!I" she exclaims. "Could it be...!I"

From a high vantage overlooking the sprawling ruins and distant figures, an old chief-like man with a headband speaks. "Has fulfilled its purpose." "Its purposeI" another voice questions. The old man stares at the poneglyph fragment. "Chief, this poneglyph..." In a swirling vision of floating stone blocks, Nico Robin analyzes the connected text. "This connected text is its complete form... In other words, the Rio Poneglyph, which does not yet exist." She adds, "Yes... For the poneglyphs that record information which are scattered across the world... I believe that connecting them together forms a single passage which records the Void Century." The Pirate King Gol D. Roger... Must have carried this passage off to his destination." The old chief reacts with shock, sweat pouring down his face. "I see..." "FOR US TO FIGHT ANY LONGER...I" "IS THERE NO NEED..." he cries. "Then..." "That is why-" Nico Robin stands silently in the background.

The old chief stares toward the distant ruins in disbelief. "THEN BEEN FULFILLED...!I" "HAS OUR ANCESTORS' WISH..." Voices cry out "Chief!" "CHIEF!" Nico Robin walks away from the poneglyph, thinking, "ALL THE PONEGLYPH PASSAGES I HAVE READ... THAT MEANS I TOO MUST LEAD." She smiles faintly. In a small panel, a tiger-striped creature appears near the ruins. Villagers and warriors celebrate around the broken belfry pillar. "Ah! That's a great idea!" one shouts. "I heard that down in the blue seas, gold was more valuable than Vearth..." "By the way, girl... You and your companions desired gold, is that rightI" "KNOCK!" "We really have to do something to thank you all for everything!" "We can't give you the golden bell but how does this broken belfry pillar soundI" Robin turns with a serious expression. "TO THE END OF THE GRAND LINE!"

The massive golden bell is wrapped in cloth and carried by many villagers toward the ship. "WE'RE GOING TO DELIVER IT TO THIS COUNTRY'S SAVIOURS!" "Be careful! It's heavy!" "That's right! We've gotta thank them for beating Enel!" "Alright, guys! Let's bring this over to their ship!" "Is that fineI I'm sure my companions will be very pleased!" Nico Robin says with a smile. In close-up she continues, "His name is Monkey D. Luffy." "I seem to sense the same air about him as Roger." "Miss... About that straw hat boy..." "I, too, confess I'm endlessly fascinated by him." She glances aside. "Is it... merely my imagination...I" "And I'm certain... That too, is another important question concerning this world's history." "Yes..." "I see," the old chief replies. "So they even share one letter in their name... Hahaha!" "P..."

The Straw Hats stand amid the ruins of the golden city, hauling sacks of treasure. "It's better that way. They'd come chasing after us if they spotted us." "Why's it so empty hereI What happened to all the guerrillas and angelsI" "Robin's sooo late..." "After all, we're trying to make off with all this gold!" "Well, Nami and Conis should be getting the ship ready to leave at a moment's notice but..." In the next tier the crew erupts in argument as they spot Robin. "OH PLEASE, YOU'D BECOME A LOST CHILD AFTER SETTING JUST 3 STEPS INTO THAT FOREST!" "AS IF YOU CAN ALL TALK!" "DUMBASS MARIMO!" "DUMB-ASS!" "OH NO YOU DON'T, DUMBASS!" "Ugh, what a bother. We don't have to wait for her. I'm heading ahead to the ship!" "Hey look, it's Robin!" "Marimo dumbass!" Below, panic spreads as the crew realizes pursuers have returned. "AGHHH! THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM!" "OH CRAP! THEY'VE GOT A HUGE CANNON!" "ARE YOU RETARDED!I DON'T SAY THAT! JUST LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE COMING BACK HERE!" "WE STOLE THE GOLD SO IT'S TIME TO RUN!" "HURRY UP!" "HEEEEYYY! ROOOBIIIN!" Luffy waves wildly while the others scramble.

Nami stands with a bulging sack. "MY SACK'S COMPLETELY STUFFED!" Luffy bursts from below, gold spilling everywhere. "SEE!I LOOK AT OUR HAUL! WE'RE RICH NOW!" "GET ON THE SHIP! WE CAN'T STAY HERE ANY LONGER!" The crew reacts in alarm. "HEY, WAIT!" "RUN FOR IIIIIIIIT!" "OH CRAP, THEY'RE ONTO US!" "NO, WAIT! PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT!" "Don't tell me they're planning to leave already!I" "HmI" Luffy refuses to leave empty-handed. "FOR PROUD PIRATES ARE WE! TO RETURN EMPTY HANDED AFTER SUCH GLORIOUS FEATS SHAN'T DO!" He hoists an enormous pillar of gold overhead. "WE RISKED OUR LIVES, DID WE!I IN VENTURING OUT TO THIS REMOTE ISLAND IN THE SKY!" "IN EXPLORING THE LEGENDARY CITY OF GOLD!" Voices urge haste. "Robiiiiinnn! Hurry up or you'll be caught!" "You can tell us to wait as much as you want BUT...!" "Woohoo! Preach it, Usopp!"

Nami smiles faintly. "Haha, It seems they don't need it." A small figure on a pillar wonders, "Be caught!I What're they talking about!I We were just trying to thank-" "Hey, you! Didn't you say we'd be happy to accept this golden pillar!I" Nami's expression shifts to surprise. "BUT-" The pillar crashes down with a massive "GIII-!!!" The crew panics. "WHAT!I" Luffy erupts in fury, veins bulging. "WAAIIIIT!" He roars skyward, "RUUUU-UNNNNN!" while the others flee in terror amid flying debris and golden rubble. Chopper and Usopp sprint alongside a determined Sanji as the golden city collapses around them.
