The Promised Harbor

A color splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy in a straw hat and blue vest leaping forward on a striped log while pointing excitedly toward a bright waterfall in a jungle. Beside him stands a smiling woman with dark hair in a pink hooded jacket with fur trim. Other figures climb and swing through the trees in the background. Credits list: CLEANED BY PROSTYLE, JOKER; REDRAWS BY SENGOKU; TYPESETTING BY RTSD, ZERO; TRANSLATED BY VOXANIMUS; PROVIDED BY FRIEDRICH. A notice box states the chapter source and urges readers to support official volumes.

Narration reads: THE WORLD SAW THE BEGINNING OF THE "GREAT AGE OF PIRATES"... A FEW YEARS BEFORE. ON A CALM SEA... Seagulls fly as two large pirate ships sail side by side. A speech bubble exclaims, "I'M GLAD I CAME WITH YOU, ROGER!" Sound effects show cannon fire and impacts. In the lower panels, a doctor-like man yells, "SHARRAP! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT FROM A DOCTOR THAT DRINKS LIKE A FISH!" Roger laughs wildly while Oden shouts, "YER DRUNK OFF YOUR ASS, ROGER! COOL IT!" Another crewmate adds, "WE'RE THE ONES THANKFUL YOU'RE HERE, ODEN!" A furious man with a mustache roars, "WHAT'RE YOU GETTIN' ALL STIFF FOR, YA BASTARDI!"

The crew continues arguing on deck. One man says, "YOU'D JUST GET IN HIS WAY, DUMBO." Another offers, "I'LL GIVE YA A HAND TOO, Y'KNOW!" A third asks, "DO YOU NEED ANY HELP WITH ANYTHING, ODENI" A smiling man with glasses adds, "SAY, ODEN, IF YOU REALLY NEED ANYTHING, THOUGH..." A translator note states: T/N: -JIRO IS A SUFFIX USUALLY USED FOR THE SECOND SON IN A FAMILY. Oden questions, "WHY AM I ALWAYS THE '-JIRO'I!" A figure on a balcony states, "I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY WANO INSISTED ON KEEPING ITS BORDERS CLOSED." Another replies, "THANK YOU, RAYLEIGH, REDTAR0, BUGGYJIRO. BUT WE KOZUKIS MUST ATTEND TO THIS OURSELVES." Silhouetted against the sky, a man declares, "BUT I'LL KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE. AND NOW THAT I'VE FINALLY MADE MY WAY OUT, THEY'RE CALLING ME TO COME BACK AND BECOME SHOGUNI HOW SELFISH. I WON'T TELL THEM."

Silhouettes of Oden and his retainers raise their fists in the air as they declare their resolve. "AND TOGETHER, WE'LL WAIT TWENTY YEARS! FOR THE FUTURE TO COME!" one retainer shouts. Another adds, "WITH MY RETAINERS BACK HOME, I'LL OPEN WANO'S BORDERS!" The central figure stands tall in shadow. The scene shifts to a ship sailing away on the sea under a bright sky. Speech bubbles read "YOU TOO, ROGER!" and "YOH BETCHA, ODEN!" A caption box states "SINCE THEN," followed by "25 YEARS HAVE PASSED." Below, a chaotic battle erupts with swords clashing, shields raised, and impact lines filling the panels as warriors fight fiercely.

A dramatic title page announces "WANO ARC ACT THREE" amid falling autumn leaves and musical notes. Three small panels show a blind musician playing a shamisen with swirling notes, a distant view of a castle, and a swordsman with a staff seated and playing a flute. The large bottom panel reveals a grand harbor festival at Habu Harbor. A sign reads "HABU HARBOR." Another states "THIS IS HAKUMAI." Crowds cheer with raised weapons and banners as ships line the water and a multi-tiered pagoda stands in the center, leaves swirling through the air.

At a lavish banquet, Orochi laughs wildly while surrounded by retainers. "IT MATTERS NOT! HE'S BOUND TO BE SLOSHED ALREADY!" one shouts. Another calls "LORD OROCHI! PLEASE, NOT UNTIL WE'VE MET LORD KAIDO!" and "BRING THE SAKE! LET'S DRINK TO THESE LEAVES!" Orochi declares "A GRAND BANQUET WITH 40,000 IN ATTENDANCE! WE'LL HAVE A BLAST!" and "ONCE A YEAR, ON ONIGASHIMA, AND A GRAND BANQUET WITH BOTH THEIR ARMIES IN ATTENDANCE, IS HELD." The two great leaders that rule Wano meet. The scene expands to a massive harbor view with ships departing, autumn leaves falling, and crowds celebrating. Bubbles read "TRULY A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. THE FIERY LEAVES DANCE DOWN, SEEING OFF THE DEPARTING SHIPS.", "BE CAREFUL!", "BON VOYAGE!", "SHOGUN OROCHI", and descriptions of the harbor.

Orochi shouts with wild energy, "TONIGHT IS THE FIRE FESTIVAL! DRINK! SING!" A box notes "MEANWHILE, AT THE CAPITAL." The view widens to a massive crowd at the festival with fireworks, lanterns, and a castle in the distance. Voices call "BRING OUT THE SAKE!", "GET ME SOME APPLE CANDIES!", and "THE ONLY TIME OF THE YEAR THAT THE BAN ON DRINKING IS LIFTED!" Smaller panels show a woman exclaiming "WHAT A CLEAR, BLUE SKY! WE SHOULD SEE A BEAUTIFUL FULL MOON TONIGHT!", a dancer with "DANCE!", and two women hurrying: "WE'RE LATE! COME ON, HURRY!" and "WAIT! MY BANGS AREN'T FALLING RIGHT TODAY!"

A festive scene unfolds across Wano with lanterns, banners, and crowds celebrating. Narration explains: "CAN VARY DRASTICALLY FROM PROVINCE TO PROVINCE, AND THE WEATHER CAN CHANGE RAPIDLY IN A VERY LOCALIZED WAY. THE SEASONS OF WANO." Below, a map labels regions including Kuri, Kibi, Udon, Hakumai, Ringo, and Tokage Harbor marked with an X. SFX "KRAAAIN" and impact lines show stormy weather over the sea near the harbor.

At the stormy Tokage Harbor, a man in a straw hat shouts, "THERE ISN'T A SINGLE SHIP HERE!" A dog-masked figure yells, "THAT CAT... DID HE NOT MAKE IT IN TIMEI!" A masked samurai adds, "YOU'RE RIGHT! I THOUGHT WE'D ALREADY TAKEN OVER UDON!" Another cries, "BUT EVEN THE MINES WERE DESERTED! WHERE ARE OUR 4,000 MENI!" A close-up shows a panicked face: "THERE'S SIGNS THAT IT'S BEEN ATTACKED!" Kin'emon sweats heavily as massive waves crash and figures stand amid the chaos with SFX "ドドドドドオオオ!!!" and "ベ"ベ"."

On the evening of the Fire Festival at Tokage Harbor, a scarred man growls, "WE CAN'T REACH ANYONE. THE SNAILS AREN'T WORKING." Another voice states, "THIS IS THE PROMISED HARBOR!" Amid raging waves and lightning, figures shout, "WHERE DID THEY DISAPPEAR TOI! WHY IS NO ONE HEREI!" The scene shows the harbor in turmoil with debris flying and SFX "ドドド!!!" and "ハアアアア" as the group realizes the situation has changed drastically in one day.

In the festive Wano streets, revelers chant "HEAVE-HO! HEAVE-HO!" while a voice wonders, "HAS SOMETHING HAPPENED...I!" Suddenly, recognition hits: "LAWI! INUA-RASHI'S MUSKETEERS! JIBUEMON, IN KIBI! HYOGORO! COME IN! LUFFY! WHERE ARE YOUI!" Retainers declare, "TO SEE OUR LORD'S DREAM FULFILLED! WE HAVE COME HERE FROM 20 YEARS IN THE PAST! WE ARE THE RETAINERS OF ODEN KOZUKI! TO BURN OUT WHAT LITTLE REMAINS OF THE LIVES WE HAVE, THE LIVES THAT ENDED THAT DAY!"

Kin'emon's face fills the frame, drenched in sweat and fury as he shouts desperately, "WE NEED YOUR HELP!" A massive speech bubble continues, "BUT WE CANNOT WITH THIS MANY! FORTY THOUSAND STAND BEFORE US!" In smaller panels below, other retainers react with panic; one grits his teeth while another cries out "URRG GHHH..." A voice cuts in sharply, "THAT'S ENOUGH, KINEMON! WE NEED—" Another figure yells, "SOMETHING... WHY SHOULD WE EXPECT ANY DIFFERENT FROM MENI!" The narration states, "SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM." The scene widens to reveal a small boat tossed in violent seas beneath streaking arrows and explosions, with massive sound effects "ドドォォ!!" as the vessel approaches a distant, chaotic shore.

From the deck of a massive ship, voices observe a tiny rowboat below: "WELL, THERE SEEMS TO BE A SMALL ROWBOAT HERE." "LOOKS SERVICEABLE." The panel shows the chapter number "CH.958" and the note "ONE PIECE WILL BE ON BREAK NEXT WEEK!" A close-up of Luffy's grinning face appears. The view shifts to Onigashima's ominous silhouette with musical notes and the label "ONIGASHIMA," accompanied by the question "DID OROCHI HAVE A PLANI!" Inuarashi is confronted by allies who shout, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, INUARASHII! STOP THAT!" A large panel reveals a massive, laughing figure with wild hair and a woman beside him; a caption reads "HAD HAPPENED THE PREVIOUS NIGHT." The bottom box asks, "WHAT HAPPENED."
