A massive explosion rips through the upper levels of the tower as debris and smoke erupt outward with a thunderous ヤラ...!! Luffy stands amid the wreckage, breathing heavily. He walks forward through the ruined corridor, past a shattered door marked with a cross, muttering HAA as small fires crackle around him. In close-up, Luffy's battered face fills the panel, eyes fierce. A man with curly eyebrows and a stitched cheek glares back, declaring, "SHE'S THERE, ALL RIGHT. BUT YOU'LL NEVER, EVER SEE HER AGAIN..." Luffy snaps, "BACK OFF. ROBIN'S BEHIND THAT DOOR, RIGHT!I"

From high above, the massive fortress of Enies Lobby looms under a cloudy sky as the Buster Call begins. Sirens wail with うわあああああ while panicked citizens and pirates flee in terror. A suited man with a top hat screams, "WE'LL DIE IF WE STAY HERE—!!!" A nearby fighter yells, "IT'S THE 'BUSTER CALL'!!!" Inside the grand hall, civilians huddle as explosions echo; one cries, "WE GOT LEFT BEHIND..." A frantic Marine officer shouts, "THE MARINES ARE COMING TO GET US~~~!!! SEND THE SHIPS TO THE FRONT GATE!! PREPARE FOR DEPARTURE!!"

The Straw Hat crew argues urgently aboard a ship. "THAT'S RIGHT!! IF HE DOESN'T COME BACK HERE, WE CAN'T GO HOME TOGETHER!! THE STRAWHATS, TOO!!" "WHAT ABOUT BRO!I WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HIMI" "WE'VE BEEN IN DANGER EVER SINCE WE ARRIVED HERE." "HEY!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!!I AREN'T WE IN DANGER!I" A long-necked figure adds, "WE'VE GOTTA SETTLE THIS AND HURRY TO THE 'GATES OF JUSTICE.'" "WE CAN'T REALLY WASTE TIME HERE..." In a sudden burst, a lion-like beast roars BUDOOOOOH!!! as Zoro readies his swords, saying, "GREAT SWORD... 'HANA ARASHI'." Chopper yells, "IT'S NOT THE TIME TO THINK UP A GOOD NAME—!!!" A note reads *MEANS NOSE STORM. PUN WITH FLOWER STORM.

Luffy sprints through the ruined streets toward a massive gate. Close-ups show his sandaled feet pounding the ground. He suddenly lunges forward in a powerful leap, arms outstretched, grabbing a fleeing figure from behind with a massive GRAB!!! The impact sends shockwaves as the two tumble through the air. The grabbed man struggles, his face twisting in shock while Luffy clings tightly. SFX of ドン and ググ... mark the violent struggle as they crash downward.

A massive kick sends Luffy hurtling through the air amid shattering debris as he yells "URYAH!!!!" He crashes down, then immediately sprints toward the massive "WORLD GOVT" doors. SFX rattle with "ガラゴロ" and "パタパタ" as he dashes inside. The suited man with slicked-back hair and a goatee stands in the foreground, eyes narrowing in surprise with small "ぱん..." reaction bubbles near his face while Luffy races past the emblem.

Luffy launches a powerful flying kick that connects squarely with the suited man's face, producing a massive impact "ドゴォ" and "!!!" The force hurls the man backward through rubble as the doors frame the chaos. In the aftermath the suited man walks away from the wreckage with a calm stride while Luffy remains poised; faint SFX "ドゴン!!" and "Zai..." linger in the settling dust.

The suited man raises an open hand, stopping Luffy's strike with a sharp "CRACK!" Luffy's eyes widen in shock "!!!I" as the man stands firm. In a sudden reversal the suited man delivers a crushing blow, sending Luffy reeling amid flying debris and heavy impact SFX "ズゴオオ" and "HYU!!!" while motion lines emphasize the brutal exchange inside the ruined hall.

Luffy and the suited man trade a rapid flurry of punches and kicks. Luffy's fist connects with a "SWOOSH..." while the man counters with equal force, each blow marked by explosive SFX and motion lines. The intense close-quarters brawl continues across panels with repeated heavy impacts "ドゴォ" and "ドン" as both fighters push each other back and forth inside the collapsing corridor.

A massive black silhouette delivers a devastating kick that sends Luffy hurtling through the air amid heavy impact lines and debris. Luffy's body twists violently from the blow. In the next sequence the suited fighter presses the assault with rapid strikes, creating shockwaves and motion blur. Luffy's face twists in pain and surprise as he is slammed downward, the force cracking the ground beneath him. SFX "Fuu!! Fuu!!" punctuate the brutal impacts while Luffy grits his teeth and struggles to recover.

The battle spills into a ruined plaza before a massive arched building marked "WORLD GOVT." Explosions and smoke fill the air as the suited man and Luffy clash at high speed. Luffy charges forward with a fierce expression, launching a powerful punch that the suited fighter narrowly evades. The man counters with a spinning kick, sending Luffy skidding across the rubble. SFX "ドドッ…" and impact bursts mark each exchange while distant figures watch the destruction unfold.

Luffy and the suited fighter trade a ferocious mid-air exchange, their fists colliding with an enormous impact that shatters the air around them. The scene shifts to a different location where Nami stands holding a long staff, facing a man in the distance. She says, "SORU" and "IF YOU'RE GONNA RUN, LEAVE YOUR KEY HERE." A close-up reveals Kalifa's calm, glasses-wearing face as she remarks, "— IT'S GETTING CROWDED ALL OF A SUDDEN…" and "IF WE STAY IN THIS TOWER ANY LONGER, OUR LIVES WILL BE IN DANGER, TOO."

Nami reaches out with a worried expression, saying "I WANTED TO HAVE MORE FUN WITH YOU," while another voice replies "EHI I'M SORRY." Kalifa suddenly appears and seizes the staff, declaring "SHOOT." She spins the weapon with a fierce motion, striking Nami hard. Nami cries out in pain "AH!" and "KYA-AAAH!!!" as she is sent flying amid water splashes and impact effects. Kalifa's triumphant pose dominates the panel with large SFX "するるる…"

A fierce close-up shows Kalifa's intense glare and open mouth as she unleashes a powerful strike. The panel explodes into a massive impact labeled "GOLDEN HOUR"!!!, sending a dark silhouette of Sanji flying backward amid shattering debris and water spray. Kalifa stands triumphant in the center, arms spread, long hair flowing. Below, Nami's transformed body lies sprawled on the ground, her limbs swollen and awkward. She gasps, "I tried to be careful of it, too...!!" A voice notes, "It's the same attack Sanji-kun received..." Nami struggles, "...My body is slippery everywhere... and I can't stand up...!!" with repeated "HAA..." sounds and a "Petam!" impact as she flops helplessly. In the background, small figures react near a damaged building.

21
Kalifa stands calmly with one hand raised, declaring, "Making every part of your body smooth is its downside, but you have the silkiest skin now. I envy you." Nami sits on the floor, body still distorted, clutching her weapon and shouting in shock, "What did you turn my body into!I" Kalifa then launches a spinning kick, yelling "RANKYAKU"!!! Nami cries "NOOO!!!" as the attack strikes. Kalifa follows with "COOL CHARGE"!!! and states, "I suggest you give up on my key. It doesn't work that way!!! Though, your fighting ability is now half of what it used to be. It's useless. Fun time is over."

22
Kalifa questions, "When did she...I" and "What's going on!I" as Nami vanishes with "MIRAGE TEMPO." and reappears shouting "I'm here!" Kalifa reacts with "EH!I" and searches, "Where is she...I" Nami calls out "Over here, over here." Kalifa counters with "FAKE AGAIN!!!" and charges, shouting "SHIGAN"!! while thrusting her finger into Nami's chest. Nami recoils with "!I" and a large "!" impact. The scene cuts to a ruined room where Kalifa stands amid rubble, hearing "CRACKLE CRACKLE" and "CREAAAK!" sounds as the ceiling collapses around her.

23
A massive explosion erupts with giant Japanese SFX "ドドドドド" and "ドゴオオオ" as debris flies everywhere. Kalifa and Nami stare in shock: "EH...I" "!!!I" "What is that...!I" A huge lion-like face emerges from the rubble, roaring with "BDOOOH" and "BDOOOH". Nami's body has grown enormously, towering over the destruction. The lion head yells, "Is she senile by nature!!I She became huge!!I You're a DF user, too, aren't you!I" Nami reacts with sweat drops and a large "BAK" sound amid the chaos of falling rocks and smoke.

The SBS corner opens with a header banner reading "質問チ" above a drawing of a stern man wearing goggles and smoking a cigar, with swirling ropes labeled "エス ビー エス" floating around him. Reader R (Zoro's Wife) sends a midday news report: "TIME FOR THE MIDDAY NEWS. THIS MORNING AT 11AM, ACCORDING TO A MEETING OF THE CP9, A BUSTER CALL WAS SENT OUT TO THE HOME OF THE MANGAKA ODA EIICHIRO. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MR. EIICHIRO, EVERYONE LIVING IN THE VICINITY IS ADVISED TO RETREAT TO SAFETY AT ONCE." Oda reacts in alarm: "WHAT!I BUSTER CALL!I OH, SHIT! I GOTTA GET PACKING!! BUT... I... I CAN'T RUN BECAUSE... ALL OF THE NATION'S YOUNG MEN ARE WAITING... WAITING FOR SBS CORNER!! (<-NO ONE'S WAITING, ACTUALLY)". Next, reader Heita writes about Robin's attack: "DEAR ODA-SENSEI. ABOUT ROBIN'S 'CINCO FLEUR'... WHY DO YOU PRONOUNCE 'GORIN' AS 'CINCO'I I MEAN, WHAT'S WRONG WITH SAYING THE KANJI'S PRONUNCIATION, 'GORIN-ZAKI'I WHAT LANGUAGE ARE HER ATTACKS, ANYWAYI PLEASE STOP IT WITH THESE ****NKO FLEUR' ATTACKS AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW!" Oda replies thoughtfully: "HAMM... OH, YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CHANGE 'CINCO' TO 'CHINKO*' BECAUSE THEY LOOK ALIKE!I DEAR LORD! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ELEGANT ROBIN-SAN HERE!! 'CHINKO'... THAT'S JUST... PURE GENIUS! AH YES, WHAT LANGUAGEI IT'S SPANISH, AND IT GOES:" followed by a numbered table showing 1 UNO, 2 DOS, 3 TRES, 4 CUATRO, 5 CINCO, 6 SEIS, 7 SIETE, 8 OCHO, 9 NUEVE, 10 DIEZ. He adds, "... LIKE THAT. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF ANY OF THESE NUMBERS BEFOREI" with a footnote: "*CHINKO MEANS PENIS, IN CASE YA DIDN'T KNOW."
