The title page displays "CHAPTER 112 'LUFFY VS. ZORO'". The cover story illustration shows a group of Marines standing before a large, traditional Japanese-style building. In the foreground, Coby and Helmeppo are kneeling on the ground, bowing deeply. Standing before them is a tall, imposing Marine officer wearing a coat with "Justice" written on the back in kanji. The officer's face is not visible, but he appears to be taking them under his command. The caption at the bottom reads, "COBY AND HELMEPPO'S DIARY OF THEIR HARSH STRUGGLES VOL. 24 'I'LL TAKE THESE TWO UNDER MY WING.'"

Luffy is absolutely furious, his face contorted in rage as he screams at Zoro, "SHUT UP! AN UNGRATEFUL BASTARD LIKE YOU NEEDS TO GET HIS ASS KICKED!" Zoro looks back at him, completely baffled and annoyed, asking, "WHAT KIND OF IDIOTIC THINGS ARE YOU SPOUTING AGAIN!?" Zoro is standing amidst the unconscious bodies of the bounty hunters he just defeated, holding his swords. He questions Luffy's accusation, "UNGRATEFUL?" Luffy points an accusing finger at him, yelling, "THAT'S RIGHT!" A flashback panel shows Luffy discovering the defeated townsfolk, crying out, "HEY! WHAT'S WRONG!? WHO DID THIS TO YOU!?" He then glares at Zoro, stating, "I CAN'T EVER FORGIVE YOU... IT WAS ONE OF YOUR CREWMATES... THE GREEN-HAIRED SWORDSMAN..."

Luffy continues his angry tirade, throwing his arms wide as he yells, "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," Zoro looks exasperated, sweating slightly as he admits, "AH... WELL I DID CUT THEM UP BUT..." Nearby, Vivi watches the exchange, sweating nervously as she thinks, "H-HOW DENSE COULD HE BE..." Miss Valentine laughs cruelly, holding her umbrella, "KYAHAHA. LET'S JUST KILL THEM OFF ALREADY. AFTER ALL, ANYONE WHO INTERFERES WITH OUR MISSIONS MUST BE ELIMINATED...!" Mr. 5 stands beside her, looking bored, "WHAT AN ANNOYING BUNCH... LOOKS LIKE HE'S A FRIEND OF THAT SWORDSMAN." Zoro tries to reason with his captain, "LUFFY, LISTEN TO ME. THOSE TOWNSPEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY-"

Before Zoro can finish his explanation, Luffy launches himself forward, throwing a powerful punch. "DON'T MAKE ANY EXCUSES!" Luffy shouts. Zoro barely manages to dodge, exclaiming, "WHAT!?" Luffy's fist slams into the ground where Zoro was just standing, shattering the stone with a loud "CRACK" and sending debris flying. Zoro looks back at the destruction, shocked and angry, yelling, "ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!?"

Luffy doesn't hold back, yelling, "YEAH, DIE!" as he continues his assault. Zoro blocks a swift kick from Luffy, grunting, "WHA...!" Zoro tries to defuse the situation, shouting, "HEY! JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING!" But Luffy is relentless. Realizing Luffy won't listen, Zoro draws his swords, his expression turning serious. "DAMN IT, HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT KILLING ME...!" Zoro thinks, preparing to defend himself against his own captain.

As Luffy and Zoro begin their brawl, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine watch from a distance. Miss Valentine observes, "MR. 5... IT SEEMS THOSE TWO AREN'T ACTUALLY INTERFERING WITH OUR BUSINESS..." Mr. 5 agrees, "IT SEEMS SO, MISS VALENTINE." He then suggests, "THEN SHALL WE RESUME CARRYING OUT OUR MISSION," Vivi, hiding nearby, looks terrified as she realizes they are talking about her. "THE PRINCESS OF ALABASTA?" she thinks. Mr. 5 finishes his sentence, "OF ELIMINATING," Miss Valentine smiles widely, her eyes gleaming with malice, "ROGER, MR. 5!" Mr. 5 commands, "MOVE ON OUT, MISS VALENTINE!"

Back to the fight, Zoro delivers a powerful kick to Luffy's stomach, shouting, "JUST CALM DOWN FOR A DAMN SECOND!" The impact sends Luffy flying backward with a loud "AGHH!" and "OOF!" Luffy crashes violently into a nearby building, smashing through the wall and raising a cloud of dust. Zoro stands ready, his swords drawn, muttering in frustration, "THAT RETARD...!"

Vivi watches the destruction, gulping nervously. "JEEZ! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!" she exclaims. Luffy emerges from the rubble, casually letting out a loud "BURP" as if nothing happened. Mr. 5 approaches Luffy, looking down at him. "IT APPEARS YOU TWO ARE INTERFERING WITH OUR MISSION AFTER ALL... SINCE YOU WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER SO MUCH... ALLOW US TO DO YOU A FAVOUR BY KILLING YOU. SOUNDS GOOD, NO?" Mr. 5 says, preparing to attack.

Miss Valentine leaps high into the air, holding her open umbrella. "AHH!" she cries out. She laughs maniacally, "KYAHAHAHA! PREPARE YOURSELVES! WITH MY KILO KILO FRUIT'S ABILITY, THAT IS...! RIGHT NOW, MY WEIGHT IS ONLY 1KG, ALLOWING ME TO FLOAT JUST FROM THE SHOCKWAVE CREATED BY AN EXPLOSION!" She hovers above Zoro, who looks up at her. "UGH, I'VE HAD ENOUGH! LET ME KILL YOU OFF ALREADY! BUT NOW I'LL..." she threatens. Vivi tries to warn Zoro, "MR. BUSHIDO, WATCH OUT! THAT WOMAN IS..." but Zoro sharply cuts her off, yelling, "SHUT UP!"

Zoro glares angrily, stating, "I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO EITHER OF YOU TWO BLABBERING ON AND ON...!" Meanwhile, Luffy stands up from the rubble, dusting off his shorts. "AH, THAT MADE FOR SOME GOOD EXERCISE. FINALLY MANAGED TO DIGEST ALL THAT FOOD I ATE..." Luffy says, his expression turning serious. "TIME TO GET SERIOUS..." he declares. Vivi watches in shock, realizing the identity of the attackers. "IT CAN'T BE! AN OFFICER AGENT OF BAROQUE WORKS WAS...! MR. 5!?" she exclaims.

Zoro tries one last time to explain the situation to Luffy. "LUFFY, JUST CALM DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME. THE PEOPLE OF THIS VILLAGE WERE ACTUALLY ALL BOUNTY HUNTERS. MEANING, THAT THEY WERE OUR ENEMIES." Luffy, still furious, yells back, "LIAR! WHAT KIND OF ENEMIES WOULD FEED US!?" Zoro shouts, "DON'T IGNORE ME!" Suddenly, Miss Valentine drops from the sky directly above Luffy. "HELLO!? ARE YOU LISTENING!? MY ABILITY ALLOWS ME TO FREELY CHANGE MY WEIGHT, FROM 1KG TO 10,000KG IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE! EAT THIS! 10,000KG PRESS!" she yells as she crashes down. Zoro, still ignored, notes, "SEEMS LIKE YOU JUST WON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING I HAVE TO SAY..."

Zoro, realizing words are useless, ties his bandana around his head with a sharp "SQUEEZE!", a sign he's getting serious. "YOU SIMPLE-MINDED IDIOT! BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET SERIOUS, SO WILL I! JUST DON'T COMPLAIN AFTER I KILL YOU!" Zoro declares, drawing his swords. Luffy, equally determined, replies, "FINE BY ME!" Vivi watches the two crewmates prepare to fight each other, completely bewildered. "WAIT A SECOND... WHAT'S GOING ON!? AREN'T YOU TWO CREWMATES!?" she asks. Luffy stretches his arms back, preparing an attack. "GOMU GOMU..."

The battle escalates as both fighters unleash their attacks. Zoro charges forward, his swords crossed, yelling, "ONI..." Luffy throws his stretched arms forward, shouting, "...BAZOOKA!" Zoro completes his attack name, "...GIRI! (Demon Slash!)" The two powerful attacks collide in the center of the street, creating a massive explosion of force and energy that radiates outward.

As they clash, Zoro says with a fierce grin, "THIS'LL BE A GOOD CHANCE TO SEE WHICH IS STRONGER... YOUR UNARMED COMBAT... OR MY SWORD FIGHTING..." Luffy, equally fired up, replies, "GOOD! LET'S MAKE IT CLEAR ONCE AND FOR ALL!" The sheer force of their collision creates a massive shockwave that tears through the street. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, who were standing nearby, are caught in the devastating blast. "NUAHHHHH!" they scream as they are blown away by the sheer power of Luffy and Zoro's clash.

The shockwave from Luffy and Zoro's clash completely obliterates the surrounding buildings, sending debris flying everywhere. Karoo the duck runs frantically through the destruction, carrying Vivi on his back. "QUACK," Karoo cries. Vivi looks back at the chaos, thinking, "WHAT DO I DO...? I WANT TO RUN AWAY... BUT I WONDER IF I'LL BE SAFE JUST PASSING THEM BY..." Meanwhile, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine are sent tumbling through the air by the force of the blast, screaming, "GAHHHHHH!" "KYAAA!" "ARGHHHHH!"

Miss Valentine crashes hard into the ground, skidding across the dirt. "AHHH HRYA AAA! NGH!" she groans in pain. Mr. 5 is also knocked down, clutching his head. "CURSES! HOW DARE THOSE TWO MAKE FOOLS OF US...!" he mutters angrily. Mr. 5 slowly stands up, his face dark with rage. "OUR PRIDE AS BAROQUE WORKS OFFICER AGENTS HAS BEEN TAINTED! SO LET US WASH AWAY THIS HUMILIATION BY SHOWING THEM THE TRUE TERROR OF OUR STRENGTH!" he declares. Miss Valentine, standing up behind him, agrees, "YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, MR. 5!"

Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine charge forward, determined to take down Luffy and Zoro. "LET'S GO, MISS VALENTINE!" Mr. 5 shouts. "ROGER, MR. 5!" she replies. However, as they approach, Luffy and Zoro slowly turn their heads to look at them. Both Luffy and Zoro are battered, bleeding, and look absolutely furious at being interrupted. "GOD, YOU TWO ARE ANNOYING," they say in unison, their glares intensely intimidating. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine freeze in their tracks, terrified by the sheer bloodlust radiating from the two pirates. "ACK...!?" Mr. 5 gasps. "AHH... YOU'RE..." Miss Valentine stammers.

In a synchronized burst of speed and power, Luffy and Zoro strike the Baroque Works agents. Luffy delivers a devastating punch directly to Mr. 5's face, while Zoro slashes Miss Valentine with his swords. They yell together, "GETTING IN THE WAY OF OUR FIGHT!" The impact is immense, sending both Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine flying backward through the air, screaming in pain and shock. "AHHHHH!" "!!?"

This is a useful extra page containing an SBS (Shitsumon o Boshu Suru) corner. The header shows a drawing of Zoro holding his swords. A reader asks, "WHAT ARE THE '21 GREAT-GRADE SWORDS' AND 'GRADE-SWORDS' AND ALL THAT STUFF? ALSO, WHAT DOES YUBASHIRI'S 'UNRAVELLED EDGE WITH A SMALL T' MEAN?! HUH???? I'M TOTALLY LOST." Oda replies, "AHH, WELL. YOU DON'T REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT, MAINLY IT WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO SOUND REALLY COOL AND IMPRESSIVE. BUT FOR THE CURIOUS, I'LL GIVE A LITTLE EXPLANATION ABOUT KATANAS HERE." The page then provides diagrams and explanations of sword grades (Supreme Grade, Great-Grade, Skillful-Grade, Grade-Swords) and blade edges (Straight Edge, Unravelled Edge), using Zoro's Wado Ichimonji as an example.
