The chapter title page displays the massive ONE PIECE logo above the text "CHAPTER 1078 - ESCAPE LIMIT". Below, a dramatic splash shows two Germa 66 commanders in the midst of an assault on a crumbling castle. The left figure, shirtless with wild dark hair, raises a fist amid swirling smoke and debris while the right figure, cloaked with a large "66" on the back and curly hair, stands with arms crossed. Explosions and falling rubble fill the air. A large banner reads "GERMA 66". At the bottom, a caption states: "GERMA 66'S AHH...AN EMOTIONLESS EXCURSION" VOL.33: "FORMATION, NEO MADS!!" The author credit reads "EIICHIRO ODA".

On the Island of the Future Egghead Laboratory, a woman with short wavy hair and goggles on her head reacts with surprise. A speech bubble exclaims "UNCLE KIZARUI". Another panel questions "WHO IS THE CONVERSATION WITHI!". She continues, "THE GOVERNMENT'S EXTRA PREPARED IT SEEMS..." and "YES, THEY SEE THIS AS AN EVEN MORE SERIOUS MATTER THAN 'OHARA'." A sign marks "2F, BUILDING B". She adds, "CP0'S MISSION WAS TO ELIMINATE THE DOCTOR AND THEN WAIT FOR KIZARU'S ARRIVAL." A stern man with a hat and scar replies, "REASON 2 IS THAT EGGHEAD HAS THE COMBAT STRENGTH... THAT OHARA DIDN'T!!" She finishes, "REASON 1 BEING THAT THE DOCTOR TOOK THE FORBIDDEN RESEARCH OF OHARA... AND CONTINUED IT..."

Inside the lab, a voice states "ALL COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT IN THE 'LABOPHASE' ARE DESTROYED." Sentomaru warns, "CALL ME IF ANYTHING COMES UP!" and "THOSE REASONS ARE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BRING UNEXPECTED FORCES INTO ACTION." A furious man with a stitched face shouts, "YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO HESITATE" and "LEARN FROM HISTORY AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THE NAVY COULD DO HERE!" Nearby, a sign reads "FABRIOPHASE FACTORY". A group of workers and machines gather as voices urge, "YOU HEARD THAT, RIGHTI" and "LET'S DO AS SIR SENTOMARU SAID! BEFORE THE NAVY GETS HERE! SET SAIL! WE ARE ESCAPING THIS ISLAND!!" Panic erupts with characters yelling "あぁぁぁ" as they flee.

Usopp, in a bubble helmet, swings a weapon while shouting "YOU GODDAMN BRAT!!". Two figures in the background raise their arms in alarm. In close-ups, Lilith reacts with "AH!" and "DAMN IT!" as a metallic sound "CLUNK CLANG" rings out. Usopp pleads, "IF YOU UNDO THIS RIGHT NOW, WE'LL FORGIVE YOU!"

Pythagoras is crushed under a massive impact, shouting in pain. S-Snake looms over the scene with a furious expression, demanding, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, S-SNAKEI! ON WHOSE ORDERSI!"

Below, a blonde girl with star-shaped pupils looks up in alarm and cries, "HEY! WAIT UP!!" while another voice shouts, "WAIT!!" Nearby, a man grimaces in pain, "UGH!!"

Inside the building, Nami and a small goggled companion react to chaos. Nami exclaims, "NOOO, THAT'S INCOMPREHENSIBLE!" while the small figure adds, "I'M SURE THAT THE SERAPHIM ARE ON A RAMPAGE." Another voice notes, "I'VE BEEN HEARING EXPLOSIONS AND SCREAMS!!" and hopes, "I HOPE EVERYONE'S OKAY!" A floor map labels "2F, BUILDING A." In the next area, a small bear-like figure and a dark-haired woman discuss the crisis: "SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN TO VEGAPUNK!!" "WHILE WE ARE ALL BUSY FIGHTING," "TEAMS THAT ARE IN A FIGHT ARE STUCK." A running figure agrees, "IF NAMI SCREAMS, THERE IS SOMEONE WHO WILL SHOW UP TO RESCUE HER IN A HEARTBEAT" and replies "YEAH..." Atlas shouts, "LET'S CHECK IT OUT! LEAD THE WAY, ATLAS!" The small figure answers, "SURE!" A close-up shows the goggled girl pondering a sealed lab: "COME TO THINK OF IT, THERE'S ONE LAB THAT WAS ONCE USED AND IS NOW SEALED OFF... I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD HAVE ANY USE FOR THAT PLACE THOUGH..."

In a fierce clash, Sanji's flaming kick strikes with massive impact SFX "ドン!!" and "ドン!!" while he asks, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT 'THE POWER OF LOVE' MEANSI" Zoro appears in the lower level, swords drawn, huffing, "HUFF HUFF... DAMN IT!! THOSE FLAMES ON THEIR BACKS!!" as a voice yells, "AREN'T GOING AWAY!!" and another reacts, "HUHI!" A floor sign reads "4F, BUILDING A."

In the ruined upper floor, fighters discuss priorities: "HE PROBABLY WANTS TO DEAL WITH THE MORE TROUBLESOME ONES LATER." "LOOKS LIKE HE CHANGED THE ORDER OF THE KILLINGS." "WHERE THE HELL DID HE GOI!" "HE WANTS TO ELIMINATE THE WEAKLINGS FIRST." "FORGET ABOUT THE FLAMES! THE GUY WITH THE HAWK'S EYES DISAPPEARED." Zoro charges forward yelling, "ZORO!" as a voice says, "LEAVE IT UP TO ME! I'LL GO AFTER HIM!" Nearby allies note, "TAKING THEM OUT FIRST COULD SHAKE THE STRONGER ONES." "IN THIS CASE, THEY MAY BE YOUR FRIENDS." Below, Luffy stretches with "GUM... GUM..." while Usopp panics, "WAIT UP, RORONOA!" and "AND WHO'RE YOU CALLIN' USOPPI!" A voice warns, "HE GETS LOST EASILY!" and shouts, "HEY, USOPP! GO WITH HIM, PLEASE!" Someone complains, "WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS!"

A massive furry figure with a helmet unleashes a barrage of punches, the impact exploding outward as it roars "HAWK GATLING". The attacker shouts "GO AWAY FLAMES" while striking a smaller opponent amid flames and debris. Below, a scarred man with wild hair yells desperately, "STRAWHAT, YOU IDIOT, STOP AND THINK!!" Beside him another voice warns, "WE WON'T BEAT IT BY JUST THROWING OUT ATTACKS LIKE THAT". The scene shifts to a quiet flashback: a person with long hair weeps silently. Narration boxes state "..BEGAN 3 MONTHS AGO", "BUT THIS STORY...", and "THIS WAS THE DAY BEFORE THE FAMOUS 'EGGHEAD INCIDENT'".

Three months earlier at Mary Geoise, a grand building stands under the clouds. A voice declares, "I HAVE SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH THE HIGHER-UPS." Another states, "I'M SPEAKING FROM EGGHEAD ISLAND." A box notes "THE HOLY LAND MARY GEOISE, THREE MONTHS PRIOR". CP agents discuss that CP5 was dispatched but "NO EVIDENCE WAS FOUND". Dr. Vegapunk is shown investigating the Void Century while sleeping figures snore "ZZT...". A ship vanishes into clouds with the note "THE SHIP THAT LEFT EGGHEAD MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED". A voice pleads, "I'M SPEAKING FROM EGGHEAD. PLEASE CONNECT ME TO THE HIGHER-UPS." The final box reads "FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION IN AN ATTEMPT TO UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY, CP7, AND CP8 FOLLOWED."

Cipher Pol Aegis Zero receives the mission and sets sail. The Five Elders decide to assassinate Dr. Vegapunk after learning he betrayed the government.

The unexpected arrival is the ship of "THE EMPEROR OF THE SEA, STRAW HAT LUFFY", who laughs "WAHA HAHA" and "GYAHA HAHA" from the deck. Crew reactions erupt: "NOT AGAIN!", "HYA HYA HYA", and "STRAW HAT'S THEREI!". A box states "WITH SUCH AN UNFORESEEN DEVELOPMENT, THE GOVERNMENT STEADILY GREW UNEASY." A massive flying object hovers over the sea as narration warns it "WOULD GIVE THE ENTIRE WORLD AN UNTHINKABLE SHOCK." The outcome of the incident on the following day remains unknown.

In a vast, damaged high-tech facility filled with pipes, barriers, and scattered debris, a massive round object crashes through the area amid heavy smoke and impact lines. A long-nosed spotted figure with a tall hat stands amid the chaos as voices shout. "WAS THIS ALL YOUR DOINGI!" someone yells. "HEY...!!" another calls out. "ANSWER ME!" demands a voice from the smoke. SFX echo with "KTOK KTOK" and "ZZT.." as the long-nosed figure reacts with shock, hair standing on end. "WHY ARE YOU..." the figure begins to ask before the round object smashes through more barriers with "GD-II~ GA-CHA...!" Background figures in hats watch from a window while small silhouettes flee the destruction.

The long-nosed spotted figure stares in horror as York, a blonde girl with goggles and pigtails wearing a dark outfit, clings to a spiky-haired person from behind with a wide grin. "WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE SUCH A SCUMMY HUMAN BEINGI!" the long-nosed figure shouts. "WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT, YORKI YOU'VE BEEN TO MARIE GEOISE IN THE PAST," comes the reply. Smaller panels show the spiky-haired person collapsed and the long-nosed figure reacting. York declares brightly, "HEY STELLA, IT'S ME! I'M GONNA BE A CELESTIAL DRAGON." The spiky-haired person gasps "!!I" as York continues, "WITH ONLY ONE OF US." The long-nosed figure's eyes widen in terror, thinking "WOULD BE BETTER OFF... THIS WORLD" while a caption states "HER DESIRE HAS BEEN REVEALED!!" The page ends with "ONE PIECE CH.1078 / END".
