Giant Jack

Lightning cracks across the stormy sky above a ruined cityscape as a massive bolt strikes downward. Luffy, bruised and determined, shouts “GOT IT!” while gripping something tightly. In the next instant he is hurled violently through the air, crashing into a massive structure with a loud impact. Enel stands atop a high platform, staff raised, declaring “KICK…”. Below, a battered man laughs “Yahahaha…” while Luffy, hanging from a rope, glares upward. Enel’s voice echoes: “When did anybody allow you to board my arkI” Luffy’s face twists in fury as he yells “ENEL!”

Luffy is blasted backward by a powerful strike, crying out “UGH!” as debris flies everywhere. Nami watches in horror, shouting “LUFFY!”. Enel’s massive form looms, declaring his intent to destroy Skypiea. He tells Nami, “As for you, girl… I hope you won’t say anything foolish, like pleading me to take you to Faerie vearth.” Nami and a dazed Luffy sit on the ground while Enel continues, “Did you get a good view of a silly little island disappearingI Yahahaha… How was itI” Luffy growls “Damn it!” and Nami snaps “I told you this was reckless!” Enel spreads his arms wide, proclaiming “I WILL HAVE ANOTHER RAIGOU SWALLOW UP AND DESTROY SKYPIEA WHOLE! NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO ESCAPE! ONCE I OBTAIN THE LAST THING I DESIRE HERE, AS IF I WOULD!” Nami glares back defiantly.

Enel’s eyes glow as he shouts “I WILL RETURN EVERYTHING TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE! THAT IS MY DUTY AS GOD!” He warns Luffy and Nami that the entire country of humans must be purged. Luffy and Nami react with shock. A massive lightning-charged snake-like entity strikes violently. Luffy yells “LUFFY!” no, “I WON’T LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY!” as he stretches and attacks. Enel laughs from above, “YAHAHAHA! FAREWELL, RUBBER MAN… WE SHAN’T BE MEETING AGAIN!” while Luffy is sent flying amid explosions and debris. Enel adds, “JUST SUCK ON YOUR THUMB AND AWAIT YOUR DEATH! NO ONE CAN STOP ME ANYMORE!”

Luffy rockets through the air on a vine, shouting "WHOA" and "KRUNK!" as he swings wildly. He grabs Nami's weapon mid-flight, yelling "THAT'S IT! COUGH! NAMI, I'M BORROWING THIS!" while spinning it around. Below, he shouts down "TELL THOSE THREE BELOW!" with a determined face, panting heavily. In a wide shot, Usopp and another figure sit on a cloud as a voice declares "NOW LISTEN! WE'LL DEFINITELY GET YOU UP INTO THE SKY!" Explosions erupt nearby with "AGHH!" Luffy's face twists in strain as he grips the weapon and roars "RING THAT BELL NO MATTER WHAT!" Nami watches from below with concern, whispering "Luffy..." as he launches upward, vowing "I'M GOING TO..."

Luffy grins widely in close-up, asking "IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A HUGE BELL, RIGHT!I" and "HEY! THE CITY OF GOLD," with a massive "ドーン!" sound effect. The crew stands in a rocky area: someone says "Yeah, what about itI" while another notes "So what about itI" Nami reads from a journal, stating "According to Noland's journal, He certainly wrote about there being a giant bell." Usopp laughs "SHISHISHI! I'VE JUST COME UP WITH A GOOD IDEA!" Luffy reacts with wide eyes, exclaiming "THEY WOULD, DON'T CHA THINK!I" The group looks up as Usopp suggests "Y'think the diamond-head mister and the monkeys would be able to hear itI" and Nami adds "If we were to ring that giant bell from the sky."

Massive clouds rumble with SFX "ドゴゴォ... ン ゴゴゴィ..." as a chain hangs in the distance. Gan Fall sits with a long pause "......" while the group discusses the situation. Wyper stands and says "Well, he did say so... But considering the current situation... So then, he..." Zoro and others listen as someone concludes "Because right now, He's definitely not coming down... No, he's a guy who does what he says he'll do. Even if Nami went up there to bring him back, He said... He'd ring the bell...I" Close-ups show sweat on their faces as they realize "He and Enel are aiming for the same thing."

Lightning cracks across the sky with SFX "ブッォォ... ン... ズズズィ..." as the crew's ships float helplessly above the clouds. The Straw Hats and allies react in panic: "We can't get down to the White Seas like this! We can no longer reach Cloud's End!" "Angel Island... And Heaven's Gate were all destroyed in that last blast!" "We can't even sail our way away from here!" "Forget about the island," "I can't believe it!" Below, the distant island is visible as someone cries "NOOO! This is too cruel! Is there nothing else we can do but wait for Enel to kill us!I Can we really do nothing... But wait here and meet the same fate as Angel Island!I"

Massive waves of the White-White Sea crash violently as ships are torn apart and swallowed. "ARE BEING DESTROYED!" "THE WHITE WHITE SEAS," reads the narration. A huge spherical flying vessel with spinning propellers and ornate markings descends through the clouds. Below, a tall muscular man wearing a headpiece adorned with skulls stands with a staff, while a close-up reveals a grinning face with a headband. "So this is it..." he says. The vessel touches down on a cloud platform with a heavy "STEP..." and mechanical SFX "ビシ... ビシ..." as it settles.

Enel stares in awe at the enormous ruined golden bell still chained within its massive belfry. "The bell that sounded the start of a 400 year-long war in this country!" he recalls. The structure towers above the shattered remains of Shandora. "SPLENDID!" Enel exclaims with a wide grin. "Magnificent.. I will take this and ascend to Faerie vearth as God...!" A narration box declares: "SO THIS IS THE GIANT GOLDEN BELL AND ITS BELFRY THAT THE LEGENDARY CITY OF SHANDORA PROUDLY BOASTED!"

High above the clouds a giant spiral stalk begins to fall. "WATCH OUT! SOMETHING'S FALLING DOWN!" someone yells as people scatter. "Ahh!" "IT'S A GIANT LEAF-" "GYAAAA! EVERYONE, TAKE COVERRRR!" "Wait whatI" "What's this...I" The massive leaf crashes down. Nico Robin examines it and says, "Make this giant stalk..." "WHAT!I" "IT'S A MESSAGE! IT MUST BE FROM LUFFY AND NAMI!!" "WHAT DOES IT SAY!I" Usopp shouts, "There's something written on it!"

The colossal beanstalk twists and grows rapidly. "FALL OVER, WESTWARDS." commands a voice. "WHAT!I" cries a shocked observer. Below, Gan Fall, Wyper, and others react in alarm. "AHH! LOOK OVER THERE!" "What's that gonna do!I" Enel appears, glaring. "ENEL!" someone shouts. Gan Fall clenches his fist and growls, "You fiend..."

High above the clouds, Enel stands with his drums, laughing wildly. "FAREWELL, SKYPIEA...! YAHAHAHA...!" A colossal dark void opens in the sky as an enormous twisting pillar of cloud and debris erupts upward, dwarfing everything. "It's several times larger than even the last one..." Voices cry out in panic: "There is no escape... From this country anymore...!" Below, ships scatter across the sea of clouds as people shout "God Enel..." The massive structure continues to grow, lightning crackling along its length.

Luffy glares upward, furious. "That bastard! It's even bigger than the last one!" On the cloud sea, Nami and Sanji ride the waver. Nami says, "Enel said something about voices below us, so it seems everyone's still head back to the ship yet. I hope they got the message alright though..." Sanji replies, "He's planning to destroy this entire country with that. He must've found the golden bell by that cloud over there...!" Luffy shouts from the side, "I'll take you up there! On one condition though... You can't even control the waver but since you won't give up, DEFINITELY! You want to ring that bell, don't youI Nami, aren't you going to escapeI"

Nami glares intensely. "To keep me safe! You have to promise," she demands. Luffy answers firmly, "Alright! Got it! I'll leave it to you then! We've only got one chance to pull this off...!" Below, chaos erupts among the ruins as Gan Fall and others react. "LIKE HE'D LISTEN TO ME! Fine, go up there and try to stop them then. BUT THAT'S CRAZY! I can't think of anything else they're planning! THEY'RE GOING TO FLY OVER TO USE THE STALK AS A RAMP. The only thing we can do is help them try. It doesn't matter if it's reckless or not."

Massive debris and ruins crash down amid thunderous impacts. "AGHH! WHAT IS IT NOW!I AGHH!" People tumble through the air. "We'll fall along with the ruins if we stay here! Take cover somewhere with solid footing!" Enel looms with a manic grin. "Your fates have been sealed ever since you entered the survival game. What're you still squirming about forI" In the distance the giant pillar continues rising as Enel laughs, "Yahahaha..."

Amid the chaos on the giant stalk, a voice declares, "The only one on this island who can reach Enel." Two figures respond, "We just have to make the stalk fall over towards that ship, rightI" and "Let's do this then." The scene shifts to frantic action as debris flies and a massive spherical threat looms. A large speech bubble warns, "BEFORE THAT GIANT BALL OF DOOM FALLS ON US, IS HIM!" Zoro is shown mid-leap with intense focus, while Luffy stares upward with wide eyes and gritted teeth in shock. Someone shouts "ZORO!" as the giant ball descends.
