A dramatic color splash cover for the volume shows Monkey D. Luffy leaping forward in the center, fist clenched and mouth open in a fierce grin, surrounded by swirling orange-yellow flames and bubbles. Behind him towers a massive blue-skinned face with wild blue hair, yellow eyes, and an open roaring mouth. Below and around Luffy, several fish-men and other figures react with shock and aggression: an elderly fish-man with white hair and a staff on the left, a striped fish-man reaching upward, a small fish-man with a feathered headdress shouting, and a tall fish-man in a green outfit on the right. The One Piece logo dominates the top with its signature skull and crossbones, rope, and arrow design. Japanese text at top left reads "巻六十五 “ゼロに.." while the bottom right credits the creator "尾田栄一郎 EIICHIRO ODA".

A bold black-and-white title page features Monkey D. Luffy in a dynamic pose, crouched low with legs spread wide and right arm extended straight toward the viewer, index finger pointing forward. His eyes are wide, mouth open in an excited shout, straw hat tilted back. A large scroll banner above him displays the ONE PIECE logo with a small pirate-hatted bird perched on top. Below Luffy, centered text reads "Volume 66 To Zero".

The chapter title page displays "The Ancient Ark" in large elegant lettering at the top. Below is a framed illustration of a tall figure with long flowing hair, a skeletal face, wearing a black jacket with a diamond pattern over a bare midriff and dark pants, standing confidently with one hand on hip while holding a large black flag marked with a white cross-like symbol. The figure poses in front of a grand multi-towered castle flying pirate flags, with crowds of hooded figures in the foreground bowing and raising their hands in reverence amid floating bubbles. Text at the bottom reads "From Shipdecks Around The World Vol. 21: Drum Island - The Isshi 100 Medical Centre".

Fish-man pirates swarm around their captain as he towers in a monstrous, steroid-enhanced form. One shouts, "EVEN AFTER HE SWALLOWED ALL THOSE ENERGY STEROIDS AND BECAME A REAL MONSTER...!!!" Another replies, "NO - LOOK!! HIS BODY REALLY IS SUPER-TOUGH!!" A voice cries out, "CAPTAIN HODY!!!" Luffy stands calmly on the deck, facing the raging Hody Jones. Hody lunges with a massive punch, roaring "HUAAAR GHHH!!!" Luffy dodges with a slight smirk, noting, "PRETTY TOUGH GUY, HUH!" The impact creates a huge shockwave marked by large onomatopoeia. In close-up, Luffy pants with wide eyes while Hody bares his fangs inches away, snarling, "EVER HEARD OF FISHMAN KARATE, BOYI!!"

Luffy's head snaps back from a powerful blow, his body stretching dramatically. He declares, "I'M MADE OF RUBBER!!" Hody's head is sent flying from the counter, with fish-men yelling, "THAT'S NOT MUCH USE!" and "HIS HEAD WENT FLYING!!!" One pirate laughs, "HAH, YOU SEEI! JUST ONE BLOW, AND -" Below, the crew panics as Luffy prepares a counter, shouting, "IDIOT BOY... HE'LL SMASH HIS HEAD RIGHT OPEN!!!" A subordinate answers, "YES SIR!!" Luffy begins, "STEEL SHELL SQUADRON!! ARMAMENT HEAD! GOMU GOMU NO..." while Hody's forces brace for impact amid flying debris and motion lines.

Hody Jones slams his head into a steel pillar with a resounding "KANE!!!" The impact sends shockwaves as Luffy watches in surprise. Fish-men gasp, "!!!" and exclaim, "HIS HEAD OUT-TOUGHED THE STEEL!!" Hody rebounds and charges, roaring "AAARG HHHH!!!" Luffy leaps aside as the massive fish-man crashes through the deck, creating a huge "GOOON" impact. In the chaos, Luffy lands safely while Hody's body lies sprawled, and a small "PFF" sound effect marks Luffy's focused expression as he wipes his face.

Hody Jones howls in pain, "NGUAH HHHH!!!" and "EHHH HI!!" as Luffy delivers a devastating kick that sends the giant fish-man flying backward with a massive "ZUGOON" impact. Fish-men react in horror, "NGHH H!!!" and "!!!" Luffy follows through with rapid strikes, his leg flashing "ZIII!!" Hody tumbles through the air, body twisting from the force. The sequence ends with Luffy standing ready amid swirling dust and debris as Hody crashes down, the entire ark shaking from the clash.

Luffy stands tense as massive dark shapes whip through the air with a loud WHIFF WHIFF. A huge fish-man-like figure labeled YABU-SAME charges forward in a blur of motion and impact lines. The creature's attacks miss their mark repeatedly. Nearby fish-men shout in confusion: "DOES HE KNOW WHERE EXACTLY THE ATTACKS ARE GOING OR SOMETHINGI!!" and "IT'S NOT HITTING!!!" Luffy grits his teeth and braces himself, growling "HNGH HH!!!" as the barrage continues around him.

A massive explosion erupts as someone yells "CAPTAIN HODY!!!" Luffy leaps through the smoke and debris. Onlookers react in awe: "SO THIS IS THE STRENGTH OF A WORLD-FAMOUS PIRATE!!!" and "ALL RIGHT!! GO STRAW HAT LUFFY!!!" Shirahoshi clasps her hands, exclaiming "LUFFY-SAMA...... SUCH STRENGTH YOU HAVE...!!" Suddenly the entire plaza darkens dramatically. A panicked voice cries "WHAT'S THISI! THE WHOLE PLAZA'S GONE DARK..." while another blurts "HUHI!" as a deep rumbling sound echoes and the ground trembles.

A colossal dark mass crashes through the sky above the island with thunderous impact sounds. Someone screams "WHAAAAA AAAAI!!" as the enormous structure is recognized: "THE NOAH, FROM THE FISHMAN DISTRICTI!!" Another voice questions "ISN'T THAT..." The giant ship-like ark hurtles downward, trailing clouds and debris toward the plaza below.

Panic spreads as fish-men shout "IT'S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE PLAZA!!" and "WHAT'S THE NOAH DOING FLYING ABOVE FISHMAN ISLANDI!" The narration warns that if the bubble breaks before the Noah hits, the entire residential area will be annihilated by water pressure. Luffy stares upward in shock yelling "THE NOAHI!!" Shirahoshi cries "WHAT IS THAT THINGI!" while another figure reacts with "II" The massive ark continues its deadly descent toward the island.

Panic spreads across Fish-Man Island as the massive Noah ship hurtles through the air. Citizens scream in terror: "OH, IT'S OVER!!! IT'S ALL OVER!!!" "NO... THE NOAH SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROPULSION POWER OF ITS OWN!!" "WHO THE HECK IS FLYING THAT THINGI!" "IF THAT SHIP HITS ITS MARK, THE WHOLE ISLAND WILL BE DOOMED!!" A fish-man woman with sunglasses cries out, "IF WE WERE ALL CRUSHED TO DEATH AT ONCE, I WONDER IF THE OCEAN WOULD BE STAINED RED." Another voice yells, "...IT'S HUGE...!!!" "WHAT IN THE WORLD...I!!!" A stern man with light hair glares upward from cover. Urgent shouts ring out: "HEAD FOR THE OCEAN!!! GET OFF THE ISLAND!!!" "EVERYONE EVACUATE!!!" Below, something plummets from the vessel. Shirahoshi gasps in shock, hand to her mouth, "THAT'S...!!" as a massive shadow falls and someone yells, "SOMETHING'S FALLING FROM THE SHIP!!"

The enormous Noah crashes down with thunderous force. Massive impact SFX "ドギャーン" explode across the page as the ship slams into the sea. A tiny figure clings to the hull while fish-men scatter in chaos. One fish-man pirate screams, "HUUUUUUE RGHHHHH!!!" Others cry "AAAA AAGHH HHH!!!" Below, a round fish-man with a cap shouts desperately, "I FELL ALL DA WAY DOWN HERE!! STOP DA SHIP, OKAYI!!!" "DECKENI!!" "I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" Another fish-man yells, "CAP'N VANDA-DECKEN!!!" A third panics, "OWWWW WWEEEE!!! I WENT AN' SLIPPED UP!!!" "YOU'RE...ONE OF DECKEN'S SUBORDINATES!! WADATSUMI!!!"
Hody Jones stands amid explosions and rubble, barking orders. "SILENCE, WORTHLESS PAWNS...!!!" Fish-men react in confusion: "IS THIS A NEW PART OF THE PLANI!! IT LOOKS LIKE DECKEN'S FLYING THAT THING!!" "CAPTAIN HODY!! ARE YOU OKAYI!!" "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THISI!" Hody snarls back, "UGH HHHHH!!! THAT DESPICABLE STRAW HAT....!" A fish-man questions, "BAHO HOHO!! THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN!!!" Hody continues, "THIS IS DECKEN'S DOINGI! THAT LUNATIC OF A PIRATE!!!" Elsewhere, Luffy appears tense as someone notes, "I EVEN USED MY ARMAMENT HAKI!!!" "JUST HOW TOUGH IS HEI!" In a dramatic close-up, Hody declares with a pointing hand, "ONCE I SET SOMETHING FLYING WITH MY ABILITY, IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL IT CRASHES SMACK-BANG INTO SOMETHING OR ELIMINATES THE TARGET!!!" "BAHO HOHOHO!! WADATSUMI!!! SORRY, BUT THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO SAVE YOU NOW!!!"

Hody Jones looms with a cruel grin. "...ON THE OCCASION OF SHIRAHOSHI'S DEMISE!!!" "YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO JOIN THE REST OF FISHMAN ISLAND...IN SACRIFICING YOUR LIFE..." Shirahoshi's voice rings out defiantly from above: "NO WAY!!!" Chaos erupts as fish-men shout, "WHAT'S THAAATI!! SHIRAHOSHI, VANISHEDI!!" "HEY, WHERE DID PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI GOI! SHE'S VANISHED!!!" "WHATI! PRINCESS!!" "IT'S NO USE!!! THE BUBBLE WON'T HOLD ANY LONGER!!!" Hody roars at the empty space, "PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI, YOU SAY...I! DON'T TELL ME... JUST LIKE ALL THOSE LETTERS AND AXES... YOU'VE ACTUALLY THROWN THIS SHIP STRAIGHT AT HER!" Suddenly a powerful voice declares from the falling figure, "I AM RIGHT HERE!!!" "I HAVE NOT VANISHED." Hody freezes in shock.

A young mermaid pants heavily, sweat flying, as she cries out, "YOUR 'TARGET' IS MY LIFE ALONE, IS IT NOTI!!!" Below, Princess Shirahoshi soars desperately through the air above the Fish-Man Island seabed, arms outstretched, her long hair and tail streaming behind her. Massive impact lettering erupts around her as she shouts, "I AM OVER HERE!!!" The panicked crowd below reacts in horror: "AHHHHHH!!! MY BELOVED SHIRAHOSHI!!!", "THAT SHIP IS HURTLING TOWARDS THE PRINCESS....!!", "OH, NO... I SHOULD NEVER HAVE LET HER OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!", "WHEN DID SHE...I!!", while others scream "PRINCESS!!!", "MERMAID PRINCESS!!", and "PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI!!!" Shirahoshi's face is filled with determination and fear as the enormous ancient ark Noah looms directly in her path.

The terrified crowd shouts, "IS THERE NO WAY TO SAVE HERI!!", "PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI!!!", "AAAHHH....!! FOR OUR SAKE, SHE...!!!!", and "MERMAID PRINCESS!!!". Vander Decken looms over Shirahoshi, gripping a chain, and declares, "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAR THE FULL FORCE OF THIS GREAT CALAMITY......WITH YOUR SINGLE BODY ALONEI!!!" He continues with twisted admiration, "AHHHH, YOUR BEAUTY RUNS DEEP, MY SHIRAHOSHI!!! RIGHT TO THE HEART!!!" and "DIE IN THE HEIGHT OF YOUR BEAUTY, SHIRAHOSHI, THAT YOU MAY LIVE ON IN MY HEART ALONE!!!!" Observers realize, "HE WAS PLANNING TO CRUSH US ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE ISLAND!", "THAT DERANGED SCOUNDREL DECKEN...", and "HE'S A FILTHY TRAITOR!!!" Shirahoshi remains trapped in the trajectory of the falling Noah.

Shirahoshi screams "AAAH HHH!!" as the massive Noah changes course. Luffy yells, "THAT CRAZY CRY-HOSHI!!", "NOOOOO OOOOO!!", "IT'S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR PRINCESS SHIRAHOSHI!!!!", "YOU HAVE TO RUN, PRINCESS!!", and "I TOLD HER TO STAY CLOSE TO ME!!" The crowd spots movement above: "THERE HE IS!!", "LOOK, UP THERE!!!", "HODY-SAN IS GONE!!", and "HUHI! CAPTAIN HODYII!!" The enormous ark Noah tilts dramatically, its course now aimed directly at Shirahoshi while Luffy reacts with shock and urgency.

Luffy and others discuss the situation: "THERE MUST BE ENOUGH SPACE INSIDE FOR HIM TO MOVE ABOUT FREELY!! IF YOU'RE GOING UP THERE, TAKE THIS!!", "IT'S A CORAL THAT PRODUCES BUBBLES.", "I CANNOT SAY... BUT DECKEN IS A FRUIT USER HIMSELF.", and "IS IT FULL OF WATER ON THE INSIDE TOO, JIMBEII!!" Shirahoshi's voice echoes, "MY BELOVED SHIRAHOSHI-CHAN IS IN YOUR HANDS, SO DON'T GO SCREWING UP!!!" Luffy shouts, "READY TO FLY, LUFFYI!!!" and "I'M READY!!!" Sanji calls out, "ALL RIGHT! BUT LISTEN, LUFFY!! THAT SHIP IS OUTSIDE, IN THE WATER!!!" and "SANJI, WAIT!! I'M GOING UP THERE!!!" A massive fish-man clings to a chain beneath the Noah, roaring, "RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE NOAH!!!" and "YOU PLAYED ME FOR A FOOL, VANDER DECKEN!! BUT THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!!" while Luffy prepares to launch upward.
The SBS corner opens with a large stylized title and a close-up of Eiichiro Oda shouting enthusiastically. Reader S Shimei kun writes: "Hey Oda chi you always let a reader say “SBS- begin!!” right. I love that about Oda chi. So, “SBS- begi...”" Oda answers: "EhI Can I really say itI That last letter... for my sake... you left it off for me to sayI Ah... Thank you. Okay let's say it!! 1, 2, 3, “m.” I got it wrong!!" Next reader floods the page with the word "panties" repeated endlessly and signs off "Be sure to count the number of panties." Oda reacts in panic: "Stop, stop. I said stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!!! Haaa... haaa... this panties curse has come again! Three whole postcards worth. All over the surfaces, “panties” was written 3787 times (I counted)!! Don't send anymore! There wasn't even a question or anything! But all throughout I saw a few cases of “penties” or “panies”!!" Another reader, fourth grader Aselola No. 1, asks what is inside Camie's backpack. Oda replies: "Right. Dreams, probably. And probably also soy sauce and butter (for cooking clams)." Small panels show Camie and a clam. Final reader Yurakuron questions Hachi's claim about being the number one swordsman on Fish-Man Island except for one man, asking if that exception is Hyouzou. Oda confirms: "No, you're right! A question you were willing to stake your life on!I The trained at the same dojo, but there's no way Hachi can measure up to Hyouzou." A small skull icon marks the end of the page.
