Let's Go See Master Nekomamushi

A vibrant color splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy in his straw hat and open shirt, standing on a tiger-striped creature while pointing excitedly forward with a wide grin. Behind him, a tall woman with long dark hair in a pink fur-trimmed jacket smiles and waves. In the lush jungle background, other Straw Hats including Sanji and Usopp swing on vines through sunbeams and foliage. Credit banners list the chapter staff and site.

Brook, wearing his top hat and sunglasses, sings with a wide grin while strumming his guitar: 'LET'S GO SEE, LET'S GO SEE, MASTER NEKOMAMUSHIII!! ♪'. Nami shouts in alarm, 'NAMI! WHERE ARE SANJI AND CAESAR!I'. A mink replies, 'DON'T TELL ME THAT MAN JUST NOW KIDNAPPED...'. Another mink answers, 'NO! IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT. HE CHOSE TO LEAVE.!I'. In the lower panel, Pekoms roars furiously, 'CATCH THEIR DRIFT. OUR FRIENDS HERE ARE TRYING TO ASK US TO FORGET ABOUT IT, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO BE SO RUDE AS TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD! ALSO, WE'LL BE TAKING CARE OF PEKOMS! THERE'S NO REASON TO GET THE "DAY" FOOLS IN A TIZZY OVER NOTHING!'

Luffy swings wildly from a vine, shouting 'AH! IS THAT CATNIP!I'. Nami replies politely, 'THANK YOU, MASTER...'. Two minks add, 'BESIDES, WE'RE THE ONES THAT SHOULD BE THANKING YOU!' and 'NO NO! WE CAN'T BE HAVING YOU LOOKING OUT FOR US ALL THE TIME!'. Narration reads: 'BUT UNDER THE LIGHT OF THE SUN, HE PUTS ON AIRS... HE LIVES ON, ALONE, GIVING IT HIS ALL. A PURE SMILE AS HE BASKS IN THE MOONLIGHT... MY EYES GLEAM AS I GAZE AT HIM... MASTER NEKOMAMUSHI IS A LONELY ONE... WHEN I THINK OF HIM, AN IMAGE COMES TO MIND...'. Brook strums, 'STRUM MMM~ ♪'. Brook then says, 'NOPE.' Luffy snaps, 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN "NOPE"!I I'M SINGING ABOUT HOW I IMAGINE HIM TO BE.' Nami asks, 'WHAT A LOVELY SONG. IS THAT REALLY HOW HE ISI MASTER NEKOMAMUSHII' Luffy frowns while reading a paper, muttering 'HMM...'.

Luffy stares in shock at the letter in his hands, eyes wide and mouth agape. "HE'S GONNA GET MARRIED!I" he yells. He reads aloud, "OKAY, GUYS! SANJI SAID 'THERE'S THIS CHICK HE HAS TO SEE REAL QUICK.' DOES THAT MEAN..." Below, the crew reacts on the backs of two large, round creatures moving through the forest. "AH! I GET IT! HE'S GOING TO BRING HIS BRIDE BACK WITH HIM!" one shouts. Another adds, "BUT HERE HE SAYS 'HE'LL BE BACK. PROMISE.'" A third notes, "HE HAD A SORT OF RESIGNED, RESOLUTE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE SAID IT." Nami, beads around her neck and looking concerned, says, "PERHAPS. PERHAPS NOT. WE DON'T KNOW." The group continues, "THAT MEANS OUR CREW'S GONNA HAVE ANOTHER MEMBER!"

Brook points dramatically, "HE WAS ADAMANT ABOUT HOW AGAINST THE IDEA HE WAS." Franky agrees, "RIGHT YOU ARE. AND I'M SURE SANJI FEELS THE SAME WAY." The crew reacts in horror to the revelation: "HIS BRIDE-TO-BE IS THE DAUGHTER OF A YONKOU. WHICH MEANS THAT AFTER HIS MARRIAGE, WE'D ALL BECOME UNDERLINGS IN BIG MOM'S PIRATE CREW." Luffy panics, "WHA-!I NO WAY!" Usopp yells, "WHA-!I YOU MEAN SANJI'S GONNA QUIT OUR CREW!I" Nami, hand to her face, realizes, "MEANS THAT HE KNEW THAT'D HE'D HAVE TO GO. SANJI-KUN..." The group debates Sanji cutting ties and whether he found a way out.

Robin muses, "VINSMOKE... I FEEL LIKE I'VE HEARD THAT NAME BEFORE..." The crew discusses Sanji's family: "IS IT HIS FATHERI HIS MOTHERI AT ANY RATE, WE KNOW THEY WERE IN NORTH BLUE..." Franky adds, "THEY'RE THE REAL KEY TO ALL OF THIS. THESE RELATIVES OF HIS." They recall holding Sanji back until the others arrived. Brook apologizes, "I'M SORRY, EVERYONE. IF ONLY..." In a tense panel, Robin states, "THEN THAT'S THAT." Nami worries, "WHAT IF WE NEVER GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN!I" An angry figure retorts, "SANJI'S THE ONE THAT DIDN'T GIVE YOU GUYS ANY OPTIONS. YOU ALL AREN'T RESPONSIBLE IN THE LEAST."

Zoro speaks firmly, "TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK! WE'RE ON A BIT OF AN EXPRESS TRAIN HERE." The crew reflects on Sanji leaving without thanks. Diagrams show the chain of events: their destruction of the factory on Dressrosa angered Doflamingo, whose actions targeted Kaido, and now Kaido and his forces seek payback. Zoro concludes, "KAIDOU AND HIS GOONS ARE NO LONGER SOME FAR-OFF THREAT. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THEY CHASE US DOWN AND DEMAND PAYBACK... IN COLD BLOOD! JUST LIKE JACK, THE MAN WHO DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY, THE YONKOU KAIDOU!"

The crew debates their next move. A small mink states, "SOONER OR LATER, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO THROWDOWN WITH THE MAN HIMSELF." Law adds, "ARE WE ALSO BEING TARGETED BY KAIDO." Nami continues, "WHAT'S MORE, KINEMON AND HIS FRIENDS, FOR AN AS OF YET UNKNOWN REASON... THE MAIN REASON WE EVEN JOINED UP WITH TRAPPY IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS TO HAVE HIS ASSISTANCE IN THE UPCOMING FIGHT." Luffy protests from below, "WAIT A SEC, THAT'S NOT FAIR! HE DIDN'T STICK HIS NOSE IN ANYTHING! WHAT HAPPENED IS SEPARATE FROM ALL THAT OTHER STUFF!" Someone notes Sanji "STICKS HIS NOSE IN THE BUSINESS OF ANOTHER YONKOU, BIG MOM!" and "IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS, THAT CURLY EYEBROWED IDIOT GOES..." Luffy shouts, "SO LET'S JUST GO ASK SANJI HIMSELF!" The others argue against it: "OKAY! WE'RE NEVER GOING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IF WE JUST SIT HERE AND ARGUE ABOUT IT." "WHAT DO YOU MEAN!I DON'T MAKE LIGHT OF ANOTHER'S TROUBLES!" "DON'T GO MAKING SHITTY EXCUSES FOR HIM!" Luffy yells, "OI, LUFFY! DROP IT!" as the group reacts with shock.

Nami warns Luffy, "SHE'S A YONKOU, LUFFY! DON'T FORGET THAT. THIS PERSON IS ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN ANY OF OUR OPPONENTS SO FAR." Usopp panics, "WE CAN'T JUST MARCH IN THERE WITHOUT A PLAN OR STRATEGY! WE'LL GET CRUSHED!" Luffy insists, "YOU TELLIN' ME YOU WANNA GO PAY BIG MOM A VISIT!I YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PICKED A FIGHT WITH HER! OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN!I" The group continues arguing as a "STRUM" sound plays. They discuss tracking Sanji: "WE HAVE NO WAY OF TRACKING THEM DOWN..." "TO BE FAIR, IT'S NOT AS IF..." "DON'T MAKE IT SOUND SO EASY!!" "WELL, THEN, WE CAN JUST SNEAK IN!" Someone suggests, "MAYBE WE CAN ASK HIM A THING OR TWO." "IF HE'S AWAKE," noting Sanji is "A RATHER IMPORTANT PERSON IN THEIR HASTE." "HE'S RIGHT... BIG MOM'S CREW FORGOT... MAY AS WELL PAY HIM A VISIT THEN..."

Luffy arrives at the massive Whale Forest, Guardians Residential District, shouting "GARCHUUU! WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT FROM UP CLOSE, THE WHALE TREE SURE IS HUGE!" Mink citizens react with excitement and alarm. A sign labels the area. Chopper calls out, "OI, EVERYONE! IT'S THE STRAW HAT PIRATES!" Luffy yells, "WHOA! GARCHU!" The minks shout, "WE JUST DON'T TOLERATE INTRUDERS IN THE SLIGHTEST!" "STRAW HAT LUFFY! IT'S US! SORRY ABOUT EARLIER!" "WHERE'S NEKOMAMUSHI!I" "AH! YOU GUYS! DON'T WORRY!" Luffy cheers, "IT'S NOT JUST YOU. LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING AT IT HERE, TOO..." The massive tree and village fill the background as the Straw Hats are welcomed amid cheers and warnings.

Pedro stands tall in the trees, apologizing, "ALLOW ME TO ONCE AGAIN EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE. THANK YOU. AND HIS FRIENDS! THANK YOU FOR COMING, SAVIOR..." Luffy asks, "WHO'S THATI" Pedro continues, "HMI WHERE WERE YOUI WE'D GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT OVERSENSITIVE TO INTRUDERS. APOLOGIES FOR THE BLUNDER OF MY MEN EARLIER." He explains, "AH. WELL, THEY CAN WAIT A BIT MORE. IN THE TREES. ANYWAY, BEPO AND THE OTHERS ARE WAITING." Luffy declares, "I WANT TO SEE NEKOMAMUSHI AND THE LION MINK PEKOMAMUSHI." A sign identifies "WHALE FOREST GUARDIANS CAPTAIN JAGUAR MINK PEDRO IN THE TREES."

A close-up shows a worried face saying, "If there's anything we can do to help... Sanji's a good guy." Nearby, another speaker adds, "We've been keeping this a secret from everyone else." A bandaged mink with wild hair growls, "If you mean Pekoms, you're in luck. He's awoken. He's in the building in the back." Chopper stands with a long-haired female mink who clings to him, hearts in her eyes, pleading, "Dr. Chopper! Let me guide you! ♥" Luffy turns away, declaring, "I'll be going ahead to check up on him! Luffy! I'm really worried about Nekomamushi, so..." The female mink reacts with sparkling hearts and a flushed face while Chopper sweats nervously. A small sound effect pops as someone shouts, "Wait! Bath!I" The mink replies calmly, "Oh... okay. The master's in his bath right now." She gestures onward with, "This way, please ♥" Chopper stammers, "I... I'm not s-stiff, stupid! ♥" while the mink teases, "Chopper! Why're you gettin' all stiffI" and "O... okay ♥ You're acting weird, man."

Master Nekomamushi lounges in a steaming bath, wrapped in bandages, devouring lasagna from a plate while belting out, "Is the beeeeeest ♪ Lasagne-ooooooow~" and "Meow meow meow meow meooooooow! ♪" Bubbles and steam rise as he roars with satisfaction. From below, a small figure yells, "Oooooo ooi! Nekomamushi!" In the next scene, Nekomamushi lounges relaxed, insisting, "Don't worry, just kick back and relax! I'm a freedom-lovin' kind'a man!" Chopper protests nearby, "You're also supposed to stick to light foods! And I forbade you from using your left hand!! I thought I told you baths were forbidden! Your wounds will reopen!" A dinosaur-like mink cheers, "Goronyanya!" while another voice calls, "Yo, Chopper!"

Nekomamushi splashes in the bath, complaining, "I'm still getting's used to not having my right hand. At this rate I won't even be able to clap! Goronyanya!" He waves dismissively as voices reply, "Are but- whoa there! Words on the wind to me!" "Sorry, but even the orders of a doctor..." "Don't ignore my instructions!" "He's bigger than I imagined he'd be..." Nekomamushi growls fiercely, "Despite how I look, I'm never one to shirk my duties or obligations! I promise you, I'll repay this debt one day!" Chopper and others react in shock as Nekomamushi grabs someone, huffing, "You sure saved our hides! Thank you! Ah! Are you all the Straw Hat Pirates!I" Wounds reopen with a loud impact; Nekomamushi yowls, "Look, you've gone and reopened all your wounds! Meowwie!" while a ball bounces and someone cries, "Wheeee! A ball!" "Oh... a ball."

Nekomamushi lounges in bed, ordering, "Oi, you there! Grab that foxtail*!" A small figure hands it over while Nekomamushi mutters, "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Just stay still. Look here, the only reason I've gotten in this bed is because I wanted to. I felt like it. Got it!I" A translator note reads, "*N: foxtail is called 'cat-toy' in Japanese." Chopper warns, "Wait... this guy's scared of shots!I I thought I told you to not move!" as Nekomamushi thrashes, "Chopper! Get it over with in one go while I'm distracted over here! Wheeee eeee~ Like thisI" A dinosaur mink shouts, "Oi. Don't whack your patient." Chopper injects while Nekomamushi yells, "This isn't some magic bullet drug! It hasn't even started working yet! Do. Move!" then relaxes with, "Haaah. I feel totally better already. Yoho hoho! This guy really is a riot!" A large "don" sound effect echoes.

Luffy leans forward with wide eyes and shouts, "THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, PEKOMAMUSHI!" Pekomamushi replies, "MY BAD... I TAKE IT HE'S TAKEN SANJII" A voice continues, "I DODGED ABOUT HALF OF THOSE ATTACKS WITH MY POWER... THAT BEGE BASTARD!" Someone answers with relief, "SO YOU'RE OKAY! THAT'S A RELIEF!" Luffy demands, "WHO ARRANGED FOR THIS MARRIAGEI" The reply comes, "NOW THERE'S NO ESCAPING THAT MARRIAGE." In the next panel a fierce mink growls, "HE'S AN INFAMOUS MAN THROUGHOUT THE UNDERWORLD! NEVER HEARD OF HIMI" Nami stares in shock and asks, "SANJI'S DAD!I WHAT SORT OF PERSON IS HEI" The bandaged mink answers, "WELL, THAT WOULD BE MAMA... AND THE FATHER OF THE VINSMOKE FAMILY, OF COURSE!" A massive close-up shows the mink roaring, "IS A FAMILY OF ASSASSINS!" while narration declares, "THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING SANJI'S ORIGINS DEEPENS! WHAT!I" Nami sweats nervously as another voice states, "THE VINSMOKE FAMILY... WELL, TO PUT IT SIMPLY," The page ends with the "ONE PIECE...CH.814 END" logo.
