The title page displays "Chapter 295 'Giant Jack'". The cover story, "ACE'S GREAT SEARCH FOR BLACKBEARD VOL. 20 'A LONE MARINE JUMPS INTO THE BURNING WRECKAGE'", shows a figure in a Marine coat leaping into a blazing building while two other Marines watch in shock, their arms raised in alarm.

High above the island, a massive, dark thundercloud sphere crackles with lightning. A voice screams in agony, "NNNNG-GAAHHH!". Below, Luffy pants heavily, a determined look on his face as he says, "GOT IT!". The Ark Maxim flies through the sky, with the dark cloud sphere looming beneath it. On the edge of the ship, Enel stands holding his golden staff. He kicks out, striking Luffy's stretched arm that is desperately clinging to the ship's hull. Enel laughs mockingly, "Yahahaha... When did anybody allow you to board my ark? ENEL!". Luffy struggles to hold on as Enel kicks him.

Enel's kick sends Luffy plummeting from the Ark Maxim. Luffy grunts, "UGH!", as he falls through the air. Nami, riding the waver nearby, screams his name, "LUFFY!". Enel looks down from the ship, his expression cold. "As for you, girl... I hope you won't say anything foolish, Like pleading me to take you to Faerie vearth." A brief flashback shows Nami and Luffy on the waver, with Enel asking, "Did you get a good view of a silly little island disappearing? Yahahaha... How was it?". Nami angrily replies, "Damn it! I told you this was reckless!". Back in the present, Enel's face is shown in a menacing close-up, his eyes wide and a sinister smile on his face. "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 looks up at him in shock and anger.

Enel spreads his arms wide, declaring his divine authority. "I WILL RETURN EVERYTHING TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE! THAT IS MY DUTY AS GOD! As well as the entire country of humans which should not exist up here in the sky will all be purged!". Luffy, still falling, glares up at him furiously. Nami looks confused, uttering a small "Huh?". Enel continues, "The voices right below you two,". Suddenly, Luffy stretches his arm out, grabbing onto the waver's engine dial. Nami yells "LUFFY!" as he pulls himself towards her. Luffy shouts, "I WON'T LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY!". Enel watches from the ship, laughing dismissively. "YAHAHAHA! FAREWELL, RUBBER MAN... WE SHAN'T BE MEETING AGAIN! JUST SUCK ON YOUR THUMB AND AWAIT YOUR DEATH! NO ONE CAN STOP ME ANYMORE!". Luffy tumbles through the air, yelling "AGHH!" as he clings to the dial.

As Luffy falls, he holds tightly to the waver's engine dial. He coughs and shouts, "THAT'S IT! COUGH! NAMI, I'M BORROWING THIS!". He plummets towards the clouds below, crashing hard and tumbling across the soft surface with an "AGHH!". Panting heavily, Luffy pushes himself up, his face bruised but determined. "DAMN IT! I HAVE TO... TELL THOSE THREE BELOW!". A brief flashback shows Luffy and Nami sitting together, with Luffy saying, "NOW LISTEN! WE'LL DEFINITELY GET YOU UP INTO THE SKY!". Back in the present, Luffy sprints across the clouds, yelling, "I'M GOING TO... RING THAT BELL NO MATTER WHAT! NGHH!". Nami watches him go, softly saying his name, "Luffy...".

Luffy flashes a massive, confident grin. "HEY! THE CITY OF GOLD, IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A HUGE BELL, RIGHT!?". A flashback shows Robin, Zoro, Chopper, and Wiper exploring the ruins of Shandora. Robin notes, "According to Noland's journal, He certainly wrote about there being a giant bell." Zoro asks, "So what about it?". Luffy replies enthusiastically, "Yeah, what about it? SHISHISHI! I'VE JUST COME UP WITH A GOOD IDEA!". The flashback continues with Luffy explaining his plan: "If we were to ring that giant bell from the sky, Y'think the diamond-head mister and the monkeys would be able to hear it? THEY WOULD, DON'CHA THINK!?".

The massive Giant Jack beanstalk towers into the dark, swirling clouds above, lightning flashing around it. Down in the ruins, Gan Fall, Robin, Zoro, Wiper, Aisa, and the giant snake Nola are gathered. Gan Fall remains silent. Robin contemplates Luffy's plan, "Well, he did say so... But considering the current situation...". Zoro, looking battered but resolute, says, "So then., he... He said... He'd ring the bell...?". Zoro continues, sweat on his face, "No, he's a guy who does what he says he'll do. Even if Nami went up there to bring him back, He's definitely not coming down... Because right now, He and Enel are aiming for the same thing." Wiper listens intently, his expression serious.

A wide view shows the White Sea covered in dark clouds, with lightning striking the waters. The Skypieans and Shandians are gathered on their ships, panicking. McKinley reports grimly, "Angel Island... And Heaven's Gate were all destroyed in that last blast!". Conis cries out, "We can't get down to the White Seas like this! We can no longer reach Cloud's End!". A Shandian warrior adds, "We can't even sail our way away from here!". Another says, "Forget about the island, I can't believe it!". The crowd wails in despair, "NOOO! WAAAAAH!". Voices cry out from the masses, "This is too cruel! Is there nothing else we can do but wait for Enel to kill us!? Can we really do nothing... But wait here and meet the same fate as Angel Island!?".

The ships continue to sail across the clouds as the destruction looms. A voice shouts in panic, "THE WHITE WHITE SEAS, ARE BEING DESTROYED!". High above, the Ark Maxim glides smoothly through the sky, its golden hull gleaming against the dark clouds. On the deck, Enel stands with a satisfied smile. "So this is it...", he says softly. He takes a step forward, the sound "STEP..." echoing as he moves towards his goal.

A magnificent, colossal golden bell is revealed, resting atop a grand belfry structure that is overgrown with vines and ruins. Enel gazes at it in absolute awe, exclaiming, "SPLENDID!". He smiles widely, his eyes fixed on the treasure. "SO THIS IS THE GIANT GOLDEN BELL AND ITS BELFRY THAT THE LEGENDARY CITY OF SHANDORA PROUDLY BOASTED! Magnificent.. I will take this and ascend to Faerie vearth as God...!". A caption notes: "The bell that sounded the start of a 400 year-long war in this country!".

Usopp screams in terror, his eyes bulging, "WATCH OUT! SOMETHING'S FALLING DOWN! Ahh!". Sanji is visible nearby. A massive leaf from the giant beanstalk plummets from the sky, landing with a loud "BAM!" near the group. People scatter in panic. Voices cry out, "What's this...?", "IT'S A GIANT LEAF-", "GYAAA! EVERYONE, TAKE COVEERRRR!". Robin, Zoro, and Aisa approach the fallen leaf. Robin notices something, "There's something written on it!". Zoro realizes, "IT'S A MESSAGE! IT MUST BE FROM LUFFY AND NAMI!". Robin reads the message aloud: "WHAT DOES IT SAY!? Make this giant stalk...".

The giant beanstalk is shown towering into the sky. Robin finishes reading the message: "FALL OVER, WESTWARDS." Usopp reacts with shock, yelling, "WHAT!?". Zoro and Robin look surprised by the instruction. Aisa suddenly points up at the sky, screaming, "AHH! LOOK OVER THERE! What's that gonna do!?". Wiper glares upwards, his face contorted in anger as he growls, "ENEL!". Gan Fall also looks up, muttering, "You fiend...".

A terrifying sight unfolds in the sky: a new Raigou, a massive, pitch-black spherical cloud, descends towards the island. It is vastly larger than the previous one, dwarfing the Ark Maxim flying near it. Enel laughs maniacally from his ship, "YAHAHAHA... FAREWELL, SKYPIEA...!". Down below, the people on the ships stare up in absolute horror and despair, murmuring, "God Enel... God Enel...". Text boxes emphasize the scale of the threat: "It's several times larger than even the last one... There is no escape... From this country anymore...!".

Luffy stares up at the colossal black cloud, sweat pouring down his angry face. "That bastard! It's even bigger than the last one!". He analyzes the situation, "He's planning to destroy this entire country with that. He must've found the golden bell by that cloud over there...!". Luffy continues, "Enel said something about voices below us, so it seems everyone's still didn't head back to the ship yet. I hope they got the message alright though...". He turns to Nami, asking, "Nami, aren't you going to escape?". Nami, sitting on the waver, replies firmly, "You want to ring that bell, don't you!? DEFINITELY! You can't even control the waver but since you won't give up, I'll take you up there! On one condition though...".
Monkey D. LuffyNami

Nami looks at Luffy with intense determination, stating her condition: "You have to promise, To keep me safe!". Luffy grins confidently, "Alright!". Nami revs the waver, "We've only got one chance to pull this off...! Got it! I'll leave it to you then!". Down below, Zoro realizes the plan, "THEY'RE GOING TO USE THE STALK AS A RAMP, AND FLY OVER TO THE SHIP!?". Usopp panics, "I can't think of anything else they're planning!". Sanji yells, "BUT THAT'S CRAZY!". Usopp retorts, "Fine, go up there and try to stop them then. LIKE HE'D LISTEN TO ME!". Zoro draws his swords, his expression resolute. "It doesn't matter if it's reckless or not. The only thing we can do is help them try."

The giant beanstalk begins to violently shake and crumble, sending massive chunks of debris falling towards the ruins. People dodge frantically, screaming, "AGHH!", "WHAT IS IT NOW!?". Zoro shouts a warning, "Take cover somewhere with solid footing! We'll fall along with the ruins if we stay here!". Wiper, Robin, and the others brace themselves amidst the chaos. High above, Enel looks down from the Ark Maxim, laughing cruelly. "Yahaha... What're you insects still squirming about for? Your fates have been sealed ever since you entered the survival game."

Zoro prepares to strike the beanstalk, saying, "Let's do this then. We just have to make the stalk fall over towards that ship, right?". Wiper, equally determined, adds, "The only one on this island who can reach Enel,". Both warriors dash forward with incredible speed, launching their attacks at the base of the giant stalk. "BEFORE THAT GIANT BALL OF DOOM FALLS ON US,". Luffy is shown with a fierce, unwavering glare, ready for the ascent. Nami grips the waver's handles, shouting, "ZORO!". A large text box declares, "IS HIM!".
