A young woman with horns and a white outfit exclaims, "IF I COULD TURN INTO A MONSTER LIKE THAT, I WOULD ACTUALLY BE USEFUL TO THE OTHERS!!" She continues, "YOU SURE STARTLED ME! THAT WAS SIMILAR TO MY FATHER'S POWER." Nearby, a bandaged boy recalls, "WHEN I FIRST MET LUFFY AND HIS CREW, I WOULD TURN INTO A DRAGON WHENEVER I WAS STARTLED OR ANXIOUS!!" In the lower panels, a hooded figure gasps, "HUH!I WAIT, MOMONOSUKE-SAMA, HOW DO YOU KNOW THATI! UM!I" while a girl with pigtails and horns cheers, "THAT'S A RELIEF!!" and another voice adds, "LUFFY'S WORN OUT, BUT HE'S AS HIGH-SPIRITED AS EVER! I WONDER IF LUFFY IS DOING OKAY. I WISH I COULD HELP TAKE DOWN KAIDO, AS ODEN!!"

On the Onigashima rooftop, a samurai in a helmet screams in pain, "AAAAA ARGHH!!!" as massive impacts land. Below, fighters clash with a warrior in a headband declaring, "NONE OF OUR ATTACKS ARE WORKING!!" while enemies cry, "GYAAA AAAH!!!" and "HOW DO WE WIN AGAINST THESE MONSTERSI!" The headband warrior pants, "HUFF, HUFF..." as allies shout, "THEY'RE HUMANS, JUST LIKE US!!" and "WE'VE HIT THEM SO MANY TIMES, THEY HAVE TO BE FEELING IT!! THEY'RE DEFINITELY WORKING!!"

Kaido looms beside her in his hybrid dragon form, gripping his massive kanabo, his body covered in scales and bandages. A large speech bubble declares, "...IS JUST......HELL!!" Explosions rock the background as debris flies. On the right side, a figure stands amid destruction shouting, "LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!!" while screams echo: "GYAA AHHH!" and "BANG!!" In the lower panels, several samurai and allies react. One yells, "YOU SHOULD HELP US COME UP WITH SOMETHING THEN!!" Another replies, "WELL, A LOSING ATTITUDE ISN'T GOING TO HELP, IS ITI!" A third adds, "HONESTLY, AFTER ALL THIS, I'M SURPRISED HE STILL CONSIDERS THEM HUMAN." They catch their breath with "HUFF HUFF..." Luffy, wearing his straw hat, grins fiercely in close-up as someone shouts, "YOUR EYES NEVER SEEM TO LOSE THEIR FIRE!" and "NOT BAD!! STRAW HAT!!" Luffy answers, "IF THAT'S TRUE, I GUESS I'VE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK A FEW TIMES NOW!!" The group discusses strategy: "YEAH, FACING THOSE TWO TOGETHER..." "I AGREE... WE NEED TO SPLIT THEM UP!!"
