Let's Go Back

Massive pirate ships loom over a ruined city square as chaos erupts. A large narration box declares: EVEN MR. ROB LUCCI, THE LEADER OF THE STRONGEST CP9 GROUP HAS BEEN DEFEATED BY THE PIRATES...!!! In the history of Cipher Pol, IMPOSSIBLE...!!! Onlookers scream in shock: W-WUU... LU-...!!! and....!!! while others yell WON!!! Luffy stands triumphantly atop a broken structure marked with his black flag, the crowd below cheering and raising weapons as debris flies. A voice shouts LUFFY.

Luffy gasps for breath with HAA... sound effects as a massive leopard-like creature lies collapsed on the ground with KURUPPO~. Allies shout: GUYS, GET ON THE ESCAPE SHIP NOW!!! WE'LL GET OUT NOW!!! LUFFY....!!! GOT ME SCARED FOR A MOMENT. YOU FINALLY DID IT, STRAWHAT!!! Luffy grins widely and yells LUFFY~~~!!! while another cheers YAY!!! A voice calls out GOOD JOB, STRAWHAT-SAAAAN!!! as distant ships fire cannons with WUO-!!! and impact sounds. Multiple ships sail away under cloudy skies.

Panic spreads among the group as voices argue: I DON'T KNOW, SIR!! IT'S COMING FROM SOMEWHERE THROUGH A DENDEN-MUSHI!!! IT'S OKAY, WE'RE LETTING THEM KNOW!!! HEY, WHOSE VOICE IS THAT!!!I I-IDIOT, THEY'LL HEAR US!! EHI STOP!! IF WE RAN AWAY QUIETLY, THEY'D JUST THINK WE'RE ALL DEAD!! WHOSE VOICE IS THAT....!I BRO!!! BROOO!!! A distant view shows a fleet of Marine ships approaching the island with the sound effect ゴォォォォォォ. Marines react in horror: IT'S THEM. IMPOSSIBLE....!!! I'M SURE THEY ALL FELL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RAVINE....!!! THERE'S NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE SURVIVED....!!! AREN'T THOSE THE PIRATES THAT WE FINISHED OFF AT THE MAIN GATE!I

High on the crumbling cliff, Marines cling desperately to a straining rope as the ground gives way beneath them. One shouts, "...SHIT, THEY SHOULD'VE JUST KEPT THEIR MOUTHS SHUT." Another yells, "IDIOT, GALLEY-LA'S ROPE WON'T SNAP!!" Below, frantic voices cry, "DON'T PUSH!" "I'M GONNA FALL!" "THE ROPE'S GONNA SNAP!" The giants' earlier bombardment has cleared a path, but warships are returning. "THE GIANTS TOOK ALL OF THE BOMBARDMENT FOR US!!" someone exclaims. "THE WARSHIPS ARE GONNA COME AGAIN!! LET'S RUN, QUICK!" A desperate Marine urges, "HURRY UP AND CLIMB, GUYS!!" In the chaos, one man clutches his head, "BLOOD'S RUSHING TO MY HEAD!!" A massive figure with wheel-like limbs gestures wildly as the group reaches safety on the lower platform. "GEROO!!!" "WE'RE ALL SAFE HERE!!!"

From the sea, a familiar clown-like figure waves from a balloon-borne platform. "WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS LATER, ALIVE!!" he calls. A small companion cheers beside him. In the distance, warships loom as the speaker adds, "WE HAVE A WAY TO ESCAPE, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!" Suddenly a massive impact erupts with the huge SFX "ばごーん!!!" A Marine's face twists in agony, screaming "VIDIOOOD, I WOULD DEVER WORRY ABOUT YOU GUUUYZ!!" while others roar "GUUUUU-UUUYZ!!!" and "VOO-OO!!!" On the bridge below, the remaining fighters press forward. "BUT IT'LL ALL BE MEANINGLESS IF YOU DIE, WON'T IT!I" one warns. "YEAH....!! THAT'S GOOD NEWS!" another replies. The group charges with cries of "ABRIIVE!! AHRM ZO GLAYD-I AHM ZO HAPPEEY-I OOOOH~!!!" and "YEEE!! ZOUS HIDIODS ZAR ABRIVE~!!" as a small creature chants "AYUP, AYUP, ZAT'S RIDE, AYUP."

A fierce Marine commander snarls, "NOW, BRING IT ON, BABY!!!" while another barks orders amid the rubble. "HMPH!!!" "YES, SIR!!!" A subordinate questions, "SHALL WE HEAD TO THE MAIN GATE IMMEDIATELY!I" but is cut off: "NOT NOW! THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT!!" The commander demands, "GUYS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!I COMPLETE THE MISSION ALREADY!!!" Below, the ruined bridge and towers come into view. "PIRATE STRAWHAT LUFFY IS ALSO FATALLY WOUNDED!!!" a report states. An officer stammers, "Y-YES, SIR, BUT...!!" while another warns, "DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF STRAWHAT IN THE FIRST PROP!!" From a high vantage, a Marine with binoculars reports, "FROM THE SPOT AT ALL!!" and "AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE MOVING" as massive SFX "わああああ" and "オオッ" echo across the devastated landscape.

The massive tower collapses in a cloud of debris as a distant voice cries "DADAN!" and another shouts "HEY!! LUFFY!!" A battered young woman stares in shock, "WHAT!!I" while Luffy, bloodied and determined, pushes forward. "HAA" "WHAT'S WRONG!I WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF HERE!!" someone calls. "IF WE DON'T GET AWAY, WE WON'T SURVIVE!!!" another urges. "HURRY UP AND COME HERE!!" Luffy replies simply, "OKAY. HAA..." A massive Marine warns from the side, "WE'RE SURROUNDED BY THE OCEAN AND WARSHIPS!! YOU'LL BE KILLED IF YOU STAY THERE!!!" Another offers, "I'LL CARRY YOU FROM HERE!! USE YOUR GOMU GOMU AND JUMP OVER HERE!!" as the group races across the crumbling bridge toward freedom.

Explosions and chaos erupt across the battlefield as pirates and marines clash. A marine reports, "IT SEEMS THAT THE PIRATES ARE GOING TO ESCAPE ON THE CONVOY!!" A massive figure strains, thinking "MY BODY... HAA... CAN'T... WON'T MOVE... AT ALL...!!!" Below, Nami, bruised and determined, shouts to Usopp, "USOPP!! WE CAN TAKE THE SHIP TO THE PROP WHERE LUFFY IS!! EVERYONE, GET ONBOARD!!" Another crew member adds, "WE GOT ROBIN BACK, TOO! ALL THAT'S LEFT IS TO GO BACK!!!" A large-headed pirate roars back, "... DON'T BE SILLY!!! YOU WON THE BATTLE!!!" Nami pleads, "PLEASE!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!"

A massive explosion rocks the escape ship as cannon fire strikes it. "FIRE!!" someone yells amid the blast. Nami stares in horror, "NO!! OUR ESCAPE SHIP!!!" Nearby figures react with "EH!II" and "Ack!" Chopper is called out as debris flies: "CHOPPER!!!" Kokoro's group is shouted for: "KOKORO-SAN!! CHIMNEY, GOMBE!!" A pirate panics, "THAT SHIP WAS OUR ONLY WAY OUTTA HERE!!! WHAT THE HELL...!II WE'RE DOOMED!!" The ruined vessel sinks amid smoke and waves.

Franky carries the battered crew on his shoulders, declaring "SORT OF SAFE~~~!!!" Usopp and others cry out "I'M DEAD!!! NYOO!" while coughing from smoke. Sanji appears, prompting "SANJI-KUN!!" and "OH, COOL!!" Nami questions him, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME!II" Franky laments, "SINCE WE HAVE ROBIN-CHAN ON OUR SIDE, BUT OH MAN!! WHAT A MESS!! I DIDN'T THINK THEY'D FIRE AT THE SHIP, BUT...!!!" A marine barks orders, "IT'S NOT THE TIME FOR THAT!! LET GO OF THE ELDERLY! BE GOOD KIDS AND JUST DI-" as another yells "THAT'S IT, PIRATES!!!"

The crew flees across the damaged bridge under heavy fire. "CHASE THEM TO THE SECOND PROP!!!" a marine commands. Explosions erupt with "RUN!! OWAH!! FIRE!! UWA-AAAAH!" The bridge collapses in a massive blast. Crew members shout in despair, "THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ANYMORE!!! SHIT!! THE BRIDGE IS GONE!! WE'RE TRAPPED ON THE PROP!!" One warns, "DON'T BE STUPID!! THERE'S GONNA BE A BUNCH OF STRONGER ONES COMING OUT!!!!" The Thousand Sunny and another ship sit stranded amid rubble as the structure crumbles.

Explosions rock the massive props as cannon fire erupts across the battlefield. A voice commands, "AIM ALL CANNONS AT THE FIRST PROP!!" while another orders, "OBLITERATE" and "STRAWHAT LUFFY IMMEDIATELY!!" Luffy stands exposed atop the structure as shells detonate around him. Below, Robin extends her sprouted limbs, shouting, "IT'S NO GOOD. EVEN IF I TRY TO PULL HIM, HE'LL FALL INTO THE OCEAN THE WAY HERE." Luffy yells "LUFFY!!!" as a crewmate cries "SPROUT SPROUT". Panic spreads: "LUFFY'S IN DANGER!!!" and "WE SHOULD AT LEAST GET HIM TO THIS SIDE...!!!" A marine-like figure screams "GERO GEROOO!!!" while others shout "STRAW-HAT-SAAN!!!" and "STRAWHAT!!!". Someone warns, "STRAWHAT-SAN WON, BUT HE CAN'T STAND UP AND IS ABOUT TO BE KILLED!!" and "CRAP, THINGS ARE LOOKING BAD OVER THERE!!"

Desperate cries ring out as the crew urges Luffy onward. Voices shout, "CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING AT ALL, LUFFY!II", "LUFFY!!! STAND UP, PLEASE!!!", "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, BRAT!!!", and "STAND UP, STRAWHAT-SAAAN!!!" A small figure yells "PIRATE NII-CHAN!!" while others call "LUFFYYY!!!", "STRAW-HAAAT!!!", and "STRAWHAT-SAAAN, COME ON!!!" The massive prop structure collapses with a thunderous impact, sending debris flying. Luffy lies crumpled on the ground as someone mutters, "CRAP. I'M REALLY SCREWED!!" and "U-UGH! HAA". In the next panels, a shocked crew member reacts "HUH!I" as another yells, "NO!! NOT THAT VOICE!! IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE!!" Confusion spreads: "...!I I TOLD YOU THEY'RE MY MEN!!", "WHOSE VOICE IS THAT!I", and "WH-WHO IS IT!I"

A mysterious voice echoes from below the ruined battlefield, repeating "LOOK BELOWI" amid falling debris and smoke. Crew members react in shock: "WHAT!I BELOW...", "I CAN'T REALLY HEAR IT!!", "WHAT IS IT!I", and "WHO!I" Robin questions, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, REINDEER-CHAN!I" while Chopper stares wide-eyed. The voice continues urging action. Suddenly a cannon is aimed with the announcement, "IN 5 SECONDS. FIRING AT STRAWHAT LUFFY IN THE FIRST PROP". The crew reacts in horror as the countdown begins, with shouts of "LUFFY!!!" and "STRAW-HAT-SAAN!!!" filling the air.

The voice commands, "JUMP INTO THE OCEAN!!!" as the massive prop structure crumbles further. The countdown continues: "IN 4 SECONDS." Crew members react in panic, with one shouting, "BEING DESPERATE WON'T SAVE YOU!!!", another yelling "IDIOT!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF!!I", and Robin calling "ROBIN!! CAN YOU DROP LUFFY INTO THE OCEAN!!I" Usopp appears, exclaiming "USOPPI" and "INTO THE OCEAN!!!" Robin replies, "LEAVE IT TO ME!!" while the crew realizes, "WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE NAKAMA!!!" and "WE STILL HAVE..." The voice urges, "SHE CAME TO SAVE US!!!" as the final seconds tick down amid the chaos of collapsing towers and flying debris.

The crew leaps from the collapsing tower. Robin activates her power with "CIEN FLEUR" while Chopper shouts "I DID!!" and asks if he looks below. A voice cries "DELPHIN-IUM"!! as the group plummets. "I'M MOVING! ROBIN" echoes amid the chaos. Below, panicked marines yell "IDIOTS!! THERE'S NO WAY THEY CAN SURVIVE INTO THE OCEAN!!" and "THE PIRATES ARE JUMPING INTO THE OCEAN!!" Luffy, soaked and determined, roars as the Straw Hats plunge toward the sea. A massive splash erupts. From the Going Merry, a voice calls "... LET'S GO BACK, EVERYONE!!" Marines fire cannons with "FIRE!!" and "FOLLOW LUFFY!!" while someone screams "HAVE YOU GONE MAD, PIRATES!!I" The Thousand Sunny's jolly roger skull marks the ship as it waits below.

The Going Merry rockets forward through the exploding fortress in a massive blast of smoke and debris. Usopp stares in shock, shouting "MERRY~!!!" as the ship barrels ahead. "THE MERRY~~~!!!" rings out while the vessel smashes through stone walls. A voice from the ship declares "I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU HOME!!" The battered but determined Merry charges through the chaos with "GET ONBOARD" as the crew's rescue arrives amid flying rubble and cannon fire.
