Under Siege

A color illustration shows Luffy lounging in a striped chair with a cigarette, wearing a black cap and sunglasses, while Nami relaxes beside him. A yellow cat in a tiny top hat and suit sits in front holding its own cigarette. Scattered bottles and cans litter the floor. The right side displays TCB Scans credits listing translators, proofreaders, cleaners, redrawers, typesetters, and editors. A notes box contains a fish icon and a quote from Oda Eiichiro: "SORRY ABOUT THE PATCHY RELEASE SCHEDULE RECENTLY, BUT HEY, THE NETFLIX SHOW IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, AND THE UNIVERSAL ICE SHOW IS COMING TOO!" Links to Discord and social media are provided.

In Foosha Village, East Blue, villagers react to news racing around the world about missing Garp. Speech bubbles exclaim: "IT DOESN'T SAY 'DEAD', RIGHTI!", "WHAT'S THAT MEANI!", "MISSING IN ACTION ON PIRATE ISLANDI!", "DID YOU HEAR ABOUT GARP-SANI!". A windmill-dotted landscape fills the background. Inside a building, Mayor Woop Slap yells in shock "WAAAH!!" as a man apologizes. Villagers discuss Garp being a living legend. A woman holds up a photo of young Luffy, noting "THE BABY'S EVEN STARTING TO RECOGNIZE LUFFY'S FACE FROM ALL THE PHOTOS." Garp's face appears in the photo as someone shouts "GARP, LUFFY... WHAT ARE YOU DOING...I!" while another cries "BAAAH!".

Panic erupts across the four seas as massive earthquakes and tsunamis strike without warning. In the East Blue, people scream and flee as buildings shake violently. "EARTH-QUAKE!!" "KIAAH!!" "UWAH!!" "EAST BLUE". A woman in a polka-dot dress clutches her head while a curly-haired man shouts in terror. In the South Blue, waves tower over towns as citizens point and yell. "GET TO HIGHER GROUND!!" "IT'S A TSUNAMI!!!" "SOUTH BLUE". Narration boxes explain: "NO EARTHQUAKE IN RECORDED HISTORY......MATCHED THE ONE FELT ON THAT DAY...". The West Blue suffers the same fate with collapsing structures and desperate cries of "KIAAH!!" "WEST BLUE". Finally, the North Blue faces enormous waves. "IT CAUSED UNTOLD DESTRUCTION ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD." "IT'S A BIG ONE....!" "NORTH BLUE".

The narration continues: the kingdom of Lulusia was erased from maps six days prior, unknown to its people. A massive circular hole remains in the sea like a waterfall. "WE'VE REACHED THE SPOT WHERE THE KINGDOM WAS!" "...WAS ERASED FROM THE MAP ONLY SIX DAYS PRIOR." "...A KINGDOM KNOWN AS LULUSIA..." "GET TO THE HILLTOP!!" "UNBEKNOWNST TO THE PEOPLE..." "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENINGI!" "GRAND LINE". The sea floor shows a deep trench. "BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE HOLE WILL COLLAPSE IN ON ITSELF..." "WE CAN'T SAIL ANY CLOSER..." "IT'S LIKE A CIRCULAR WATERFALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA...!" "THERE'S NO TRACE OF IT LEFT... JUST A MASSIVE HOLE...". The global sea level rises by approximately one meter due to the earthquakes. "NO ONE COULD DETERMINE THE EPICENTER..." "...SO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS GEOLOGICAL EVENT......WENT UNNOTICED."

Worldwide flooding continues as tides reach unprecedented heights. "...WERE LOST BENEATH THE WAVES..." "THE TIDE HAS NEVER GOTTEN THIS HIGH BEFOREI!" "VAAT IS HAPPENINGKI!" "MANY OF THE WORLD'S SHORES..." "HOW ARE WE MEANT TO RUN ON THE BEACH NOWI!" "IT WILL RECEDE EVENTUALLY, WON'T ITI!". Reports of flooded islands arrive. "REPORTS OF FLOODED ISLANDS ARE STILL COMING IN..." "THERE'S A SHARK IN MY HOUSE!!" "WE CAN'T STAY HERE!!" "EVERYTHING'S FLOODED..." "AND SOME ISLANDS WERE SUBMERGED ENTIRELY...". In calmer areas, an old man in a striped hat reacts with shock. "....I!" "YOU NUMBSKULL!! GOING FISHING NOW WOULD BE SUICIDE!!" "I'M SURE TO GET A BIG CATCH ON A DAY LIKE THIS!" "IT SHOULDN'T BE HIGH TIDE YET!".

A massive Marine fleet surrounds Egghead. "A MASSIVE FORCE HAS SURROUNDED THE ISLAND..." "YES, SIR... WE'RE AT A LOSS..." "SEA LEVELS HAVE RISEN WORLD-WIDEI!" "NEW WORLD - EGGHEAD, THE ISLAND OF THE FUTURE..." "...POSSESSING MORE THAN ENOUGH FIREPOWER TO PUT A BUSTER CALL TO SHAME!!". The fleet includes over one hundred ships of various sizes and twenty great warships. "THERE ARE 20 GREAT WARSHIPS AMONG THEM..." "IT'S A MECHA-MONSTER!" "WAAAH!!". A total of 30,000 Marines are present. Explosions rock the scene as a small mechanical figure panics. "PEW" "GYOOO AAAHH!!".

A massive naval assault erupts across the sea as multiple Marine warships advance under heavy fire. A narration box declares, "THIS OPERATION IS BEING SPEAR-HEADED..." Explosions rock the water while a voice shouts, "THEY STARTED IT..." From one ship a young Marine yells, "HEY, UNC! DIDN'T I JUST TELL YOU NOT TO LAY A HAND ON THE WEAPONIZED SEA BEASTSI!" The chaos intensifies with SFX "ハッハッ" and "ヒィィィッ!!" A large panel reveals nine stern-faced Navy HQ Vice Admirals lined up, captioned "...BY NINE NAVY HQ VICE ADMIRALS..." and "...AND..." Their grim expressions fill the frame as a massive impact SFX "ドドドーン!!" shakes the page.

Kizaru lounges casually on a crate eating, labeled "NAVY ADMIRAL KIZARU BORSALINO". A Marine protests, "FAT CHANCE! WE'LL BE READY IF YOU TRY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, UNC...!!" Another Marine asks, "CAN'T YOU JUST COME ON OUT AND SURRENDERI" Kizaru replies, "YOU AREN'T MAKING THIS EASY FOR ME, SENTOMARU-KUN." A small panel shows a terrified figure saying, "GRANDPA PUNK BASED THE PACIFISTA'S LASERS..." and "OOOH MY... I'M ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED." Sentomaru appears sweating heavily, declaring, "SENTOMARU-KUN, NO ONE CAN PROTECT HIM FROM HIS OWN CHOICE TO RESEARCH THE VOID CENTURY. I AM JUST A COG IN THE MACHINE." Kizaru responds, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE TO KILL HIM..." while a bystander exclaims, "THAT'S SO COOL!!"

Jay Garcia Saturn sits in an ornate chair holding his staff, identified as "FIVE ELDER PLANETS WARRIOR GOD OF DEFENSE SCIENCE JAY GARCIA SATURN". A Marine reports, "AT THIS POINT, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO ASSUME THAT ROB LUCCI AND THE OTHERS FAILED TO COMPLETE THEIR ASSASSINATION MISSIONI" Saturn answers, "EVERYTHING WE BREAK IS A NET LOSS FOR US. ANYWAY, THIS FIGHT ISN'T EXACTLY IN OUR BEST INTEREST." Another panel reads, "THE STRAW HAT PIRATES STORM EGGHEAD TO TAKE VEGAPUNK HOSTAGE..." THIS IS A GOOD ARTICLE. IT'S ONE OF MORGANS'." A subordinate confirms, "YES, SIR. MAKE SURE NO ONE KNOWS I AM HERE." Saturn continues, "HOWEVER, WE CAN DRAW OUR OWN CONCLUSIONS BASED ON SENTOMARU'S RESISTANCE... SIR! WE HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY WORD FROM CIPHER POL 0 ON WHETHER THEIR MISSION WAS A SUCCESS... AND WHAT IS THE REALITY OF THE SITUATIONI"

Diagrams detail the situation on Egghead. A panel shows Vegapunk and his six satellites inside the Labo-stratum dome labeled "PUNK RECORDS" with the note, "DR. VEGAPUNK AND HIS 6 SATELLITES ARE UP IN THE LABO-STRATUM... IT CAN BE SAFELY ASSUMED THAT..." The Seraphim are displayed with the caption, "ALONG WITH THE FOUR SERAPHIM ASSIGNED TO PROTECT THEM..." Cipher Pol Aegis 0 members Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Stussy appear alongside the note, "THREE MEMBERS OF CP0... OUR ADVANCED GUARD INCLUDED..." The Straw Hat crew is shown under "MUGIWARA PIRATES" with the text, "WITH EMPEROR STRAW HAT, HIS CREW HAS 10 MEMBERS. AND IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT THEY HAVE JOINED FORCES..." Additional notes mention captured CP agents and Pacifista guarding the Fabrio-stratum and Labo-stratum.

A massive Frontier Dome looms over the island as a voice reports, "UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED ON THE INTERIOR OF THE DOME IN THE LAST DAY OR SO." Another adds, "WE CAN GET IN OR OUT OF THE LABO-STRATUM. WE CAN BE CERTAIN THAT NOBODY..." and "AS THE FRONTIER DOME IS CURRENTLY AT 100%." Below, a Marine snaps a salute with "YES, SIR!!" while a bearded figure growls, "SINK THEM IMMEDIATELY." The group discusses the situation: "AND WHAT WOULD WE DO IF THEY GOT AWAYI THEY MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING." "BUT WE HAVE TRACKED AND CONFIRMED THE CURRENT POSITIONS OF THEIR SHIPS." "THEY EVACUATED YESTERDAY..." "AND WHERE HAVE THE RESEARCHERS AND WORKERS OF EGGHEAD GONEI" In the lower scene, the same bearded man continues, "WE NO LONGER HAVE ANY USE FOR HER, BUT GIVEN THAT SHE IS JUST A LITTLE GIRL, YOU CAN LEAVE HER BE..." A voice replies, "AH... KUMA'S DAUGHTER... WELL..." Another states, "WAS REPORTED TO BE ON THE ISLAND TOO!" and "THE GLUTTON, JEWELRY BONNEY..." A Marine salutes, "SAINT SATURN, YOUR WORSHIP, THERE IS ONE MORE THING!" as the group stands amid palm trees and distant structures with "UNDER-STOOD!" visible.

A fleet of Marine warships gathers near Egghead as a transmission crackles, "WE'VE PICKED UP A TRANSMISSION FROM EGGHEAD!" "IT APPEARS TO BE A LONG RANGE CALL!" with sound effects "BZZT ZZT" and "!!" A voice wonders, "HMMI" On the ships, an officer reports, "ADMIRAL, YOU HAVE A BLACK TRANSPONDER SNAIL..." "ON YOUR LEFT ARM!" "THAT MEANS YOU CAN LISTEN IN!" The admiral replies, "YEAH...I" The scene shifts to Mary Geoise where a figure announces, "THIS IS MARY GEOISE, OVER!" "THE HOLY LAND OF MARY GEOISE..." with ringing sounds "RING RING RING..." Inside a grand hall labeled "THE ROOM OF AUTHORITY," a man in a suit stands as York speaks through a transponder, "OH... IT'S YOU." "HEY, THIS IS YORK SPEAKING!" "YOU GUYS ARE SO RUDE!" "WHY THE HECK ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME TOOI!"

York leans forward with a wide grin, declaring, "...THE STELLA'S BETRAYAL!!" and "I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT..." In the hall, a cloaked figure shouts, "IT MAKES NO SENSE!" "WHY WOULD I BLAB ABOUT ITI" "IF I HAD ANY INTEREST IN THE VOID CENTURY, THAT'S TRUE..." Another voice responds, "BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU ARE VEGAPUNK JUST AS MUCH AS HE IS." "YOU DID DO THAT..." York continues, "YOU DO REALIZE I HAVE THE SERAPHIM UNDER MY CONTROL, RIGHTI" "SINCE I'M THE ONE CALLING YOU, I'LL LET YOU TAKE A WILD GUESS!!" "THE FACT THAT I SURVIVED THE NIGHT SHOULDN'T COME AS A SHOCK!" An elderly swordsman seated nearby asks, "AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STRAW HAT PIRATES...I" "DIDN'T CP0 PAY YOU A VISITI" "IN ANY CASE, YOU'VE DONE WELL TO SURVIVE THIS LONG."

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn questions, "AM I RIGHT IN THINKING... THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF REPLICATING THE MOTHER FLAME ALONEI" "WE'VE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART ON THAT MATTER, YORK..." "AS A MATTER OF FACT, YORK..." York retorts, "ARE YOU TRYING TO WAGE WAR ON MEI" "ANYWAY!! WHAT'S WITH THIS FLEET YOU'VE GOT BUZZING AROUND THE ISLANDI" The discussion continues with, "EITHER WAY, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT... THE POWER STATION* I NEED TO MAKE IT IS HERE!" "A REQUESTI FROM WHOMI" "INDEED. THIS IS A SPECIAL REQUEST WE'RE ACTING ON." "I'M GLAD I SENT IT!" "OH WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT! SO YOU DO WANT SOMETHING FROM ME!" York presses, "THEN YOU'VE GOT A DEAL!" "THAT CAN BE ARRANGED." "ALSO, I STILL WANT TO BE A CELESTIAL DRAGON!" "VERY WELL." "THERE'S JUST ONE OTHER THING I NEED YOU TO DO FIRST..." "JUST PROMISE YOU WON'T LAY A FINGER ON ME OR MY LOVELY LABORATORY." *T/N: KANJI CAN BE READ AS "FUSION REACTOR"

Panic erupts across the room as several suited men scream in terror. One shouts "AAAAH!! WHAT THE HELLI!" while another yells "WHATI!" and a third wails "WAAAH!!!" A close-up shows a terrified face with tears streaming, crying "Straw Hat Luffy is here and he's going to kill me!! SAVE ME!!!" In the larger panel below, the Straw Hats stand amid the chaos. Luffy, wearing headphones and a black outfit, blows a bubble and declares "I don't really get it, but... I see. Everything's finally coming into focus. Please crush these psychos!!" Nami, in a tight black outfit, points angrily and asks "Does that mean we're under siegeI!" A skeleton-like figure with a skull staff mutters "So that's how it is..." while a long-nosed man in a helmet gripes nearby. Zoro grips his sword and stands ready. A narration box states "The grand conspiracy has been foiled and the crew's all togetherI!" Smaller background figures react with shock as debris and impact lines fill the air.
