The chapter title page declares CHAPTER 112 “LUFFY VS. ZORO”. Below, several figures kneel on a wooden deck before a tall man in a long coat bearing the kanji 正義 (Justice). Two of the kneeling men wear shirts marked 雑; one has his head bowed low while another stares upward in shock, a speech bubble above him showing an exclamation mark. In the background, a circular inset depicts a distant pagoda-like structure. At the bottom of the page, narration reads: COBY AND HELMEPPO'S DIARY OF THEIR HARSH STRUGGLES VOL. 24 “I'LL TAKE THESE TWO UNDER MY WING.”

Luffy and Zoro stand face-to-face, both shouting furiously. Luffy yells, “SHUT UP! AN UNGRATEFUL BASTARD LIKE YOU NEEDS TO GET HIS ASS KICKED!” Zoro roars back, “WHAT KIND OF IDIOTIC THINGS ARE YOU SPOUTING AGAIN!I” Their argument continues as Zoro turns away, growling “UNGRATEFULI” while Luffy snaps, “THAT'S RIGHT!” In a wider view of the town street, Nami watches from a distance with Karoo beside her. Luffy then glares and declares, “I CAN'T EVER FORGIVE YOU... IT WAS ONE OF YOUR CREWMATES... THE GREEN-HAIRED SWORDSMAN...” as a townsperson cries out, “HEY! WHAT'S WRONG!I WHO DID THIS TO YOU!I”

A massive impact SFX どかーん!! erupts as the scene shifts. A voice recounts, “AFTER THEY GAVE US SUCH A FRIENDLY WELCOME AND FED US SO MUCH YUMMY FOOD! HOW DARE YOU CUT UP EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE TOWNSPEOPLE,” while Zoro sweats and mutters, “H-HOW DENSE COULD HE BE... AH... WELL I DID CUT THEM UP BUT...” Nami steps in, telling Luffy, “LUFFY, LISTEN TO ME. KYAHaha. LET'S JUST KILL THEM OFF ALREADY. AFTER ALL, ANYONE WHO INTERFERES WITH OUR MISSIONS MUST BE ELIMINATED...” A Baroque Works agent in a long coat remarks, “LOOKS LIKE HE'S A FRIEND OF THAT SWORDSMAN. WHAT AN ANNOYING BUNCH...” as Zoro protests, “THOSE TOWNSPEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY—”

Luffy snaps back with another "HEY!" The spiky-haired fighter grimaces and mutters "DAMN IT," while thinking "HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT KILLING ME...!" as Luffy's strike lands with heavy "ガシャーン" SFX and motion lines.

Inside the ruined building Miss Valentine sits up and says "JEEZ! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!" while Mr. 5 remarks "SINCE YOU TWO WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER SO MUCH... IT APPEARS YOU TWO ARE INTERFERING WITH OUR MISSION AFTER ALL..." Luffy burps "BURP" and grins "SOUNDS GOOD, NOI" as the spiky-haired man mutters "PULL UP." Mr. 5 raises his hand and declares "ALLOW US TO DO YOU A FAVOUR BY KILLING YOU."

An explosion rocks the street as Miss Valentine leaps high on her umbrella weapon. Zoro stands with his back turned amid the smoke and debris. "AH!" she cries. In close-up, Miss Valentine laughs wildly, "KYAHAHAHA! PREPARE YOURSELVES! RIGHT NOW, MY WEIGHT IS ONLY 1KG, ALLOWING ME TO FLOAT JUST FROM THE SHOCKWAVE CREATED BY AN EXPLOSION! WITH MY KILO KILO FRUIT'S ABILITY, THAT IS...!" She declares, "UGH, I'VE HAD ENOUGH! LET ME KILL YOU OFF ALREADY!" as she descends. Zoro snaps, "SHUT UP!" while Igaram warns from the side, "MR. BUSHIDO, WATCH OUT! THAT WOMAN IS..." Miss Valentine finishes, "BUT NOW I'LL..."

Explosions continue to rumble through the ruined street. Zoro glares furiously, "I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO EITHER OF YOU TWO BLABBERING ON AND ON...!" Luffy clutches his stomach after eating, "FINALLY MANAGED TO DIGEST ALL THAT FOOD I ATE..." as he reacts with surprise. A masked man declares, "TIME TO GET SERIOUS..." Nami stares in shock, "IT CAN'T BE! AN OFFICER AGENT OF BAROQUE WORKS WAS...! MR. 5!I"

Mr. 5 shouts, "DON'T IGNORE ME!" while explaining, "THE PEOPLE OF THIS VILLAGE WERE ACTUALLY ALL BOUNTY HUNTERS. MEANING, THAT THEY WERE OUR ENEMIES." Zoro tells Luffy, "LUFFY, JUST CALM DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME." Luffy roars back, "WHAT KIND OF ENEMIES WOULD FEED US!I LIAR!" Miss Valentine yells, "HELLO!I ARE YOU LISTENING!I" and activates her power, "FROM 1KG TO 10,000KG IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE! MY ABILITY ALLOWS ME TO FREELY CHANGE MY WEIGHT," as she prepares to strike with "EAT THIS! 10,000KG PRESS!"

Roronoa Zoro draws his swords and unleashes a fierce slash. "ONI..." he growls. The strike lands with explosive force as "GIRI!! (Demon Slash)" rips through the air. A massive counterattack erupts in the center panel, the opponent shouting "BAZOOKA!" as the impact sends debris flying outward in all directions. Zoro is hurled back by the blast, his body twisting amid the shockwave.

Zoro faces his foe up close, sweat flying as he declares, "GOOD! LET'S MAKE IT CLEAR ONCE AND FOR ALL!" The opponent responds, "THIS'LL BE A GOOD CHANCE TO SEE WHICH IS STRONGER... YOUR UNARMED COMBAT... OR MY SWORD FIGHTING..." A massive spinning attack follows with "NUAH HHHH!" as the clash intensifies.

The town square lies in ruins, buildings crumbling with "CRUMBLE" effects as smoke and debris fill the air. In a quieter panel, Vivi stands beside Karoo the duck, who quacks "QUACK..." Vivi wonders aloud, "BUT I WONDER IF I'LL BE SAFE JUST PASSING THEM BY..." while Karoo adds "QUACK." Suddenly the fight resumes with violent impacts; screams of "ARGH HHHH!" "KYAAA!" and "GAHH HHHH!" echo as bodies are sent flying through the wreckage.

The battle rages on with heavy impacts and "NGH!" as a figure is struck. A large leg steps forward with "STEP" while an unseen voice curses, "CURSES! HOW DARE THOSE TWO MAKE FOOLS OF US...!" Miss Valentine and Mr. 5 stand ready; she says, "YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, MR. 5! SO LET US WASH AWAY THIS HUMILIATION BY SHOWING THEM THE TRUE TERROR OF OUR STRENGTH!" Mr. 5 replies, "OUR PRIDE AS BAROQUE WORKS OFFICER AGENTS HAS BEEN TAINTED!" while muttering "HUFF" amid the destruction.
