The title page displays the One Piece logo at the top. Below it reads "CHAPTER 1124: BEST FRIEND". The main illustration shows Yamato striding forward with a massive spiked kanabo slung over her shoulder, her long black-and-white hair flowing behind her. A young girl with light hair peeks out nervously from behind Yamato's left side. The background depicts a rugged mountain path lined with twisted trees and swirling clouds. At the bottom a narration box states: "ONI CHILD YAMATO AND THE HOLY INARI SHRINE PILGRIMAGE VOL. 12: FOILING A KIDNAPPING ON THE WAY TO KURI". The author's name "ODA EIICHIRO" appears beneath the panel.

Big News Morgan's airship hovers above the clouds as voices shout: "WE'RE SITTING ON SOME JUICY SCOOPS!!" "STOKe THEIR FEARS! PAINT A PICTURE OF THE BLEAKEST FUTURE POSSIBLE!!" "COME ON, LET'S ROCK!" "OF COURSE HE WANTS TO ACT!" Morgan, in his top hat, looms over a blonde woman while yelling "I'LL EXPOSE YOU IF YOU DON'T ZIP IT!!" and "MIND YOUR BUSINESS, GIRLY!" She retorts "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, YOU OVERGROWN SQUAWKING LIARI!" and "NO ONE WITH A BRAIN WILL DANCE TO YOUR TUNE..." A small panel shows a frightened onlooker saying "UHH..." while another voice comments "THAT'S GROSS... EVEN VEGAPUNK SHOWED SOME OPTIMISM..." Morgan continues "USE THEIR DESPERATION TO PUSH MORE WEJ PAPERS!"

Morgan laughs wildly "KUWA HA HA HA!!" declaring "I'M TOP DOG UP IN THE SKY NOW, SO THIS UPCOMING ERA IS PERFECT FOR ME!!" and "WE CAN'T PASS THIS UP! EVEN THE TRUTH IS CAPTIVATING NOW! THE WHOLE WORLD'S SINKIN'!" Vivi stands nearby as a woman in a hat pleads "HEY, VIVI-CHAN... WE DON'T WANT TO UPSET THE FINE GENTLEMEN AND LOSE OUR ONLY SAFE HAVEN NOW, DO WEI" Vivi replies coolly "IF THE WORLD IS ENDING ANYWAY, I'M NOT GOING TO GROVEL JUST TO SAVE MY OWN NECK." Morgan leans in close, saying "I HOPE YOU WON'T COME TO REGRET TALKING BACK TO ME, PRINCESS." Below, headlines flash: "EMPEROR SHANKS VS. EUSTASS 'CAPTAIN' KID...!!" "EMPEROR BLACKBEARD VS. TRAFALGAR LAW...!!" "RUTHLESSLY KILLING DR. VEGAPUNK!!" Morgan cackles "KUHA!!" while Vivi warns "H-HEY, VIVI-CHAN... COOL IT."

A hand drops a Den Den Mushi as chaos erupts. "YOU'RE AWFUL LOUD, HUH..." Borsalino mutters with a clenched fist. A Marine stares in shock: "BORSALINOI! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHERSI WHY ARE YOU THE ONE PICKIN' UP..." The wide view reveals a devastated harbor filled with burning ships and debris. "DON'T TELL ME EVERYONE'S DEADI" someone cries amid the smoke. Bodies lie scattered across the ground as Marines question the scene: "...AND FOAMING AT THE MOUTH. THEY'RE ALL LAID OUT... WHAT'S GOIN' ON WITH SAINT SATURNI IS HE SAFEI WHAT ABOUT THE POWER STATIONI DID ANY OF THE TARGETS ESCAPEI!" A small boat rows away while a voice shouts "EGGHEAD!!" and another asks "WHAT HAPPENEDI!"

Sakazuki stands amid rubble with his back turned. "HEY, SAKAZUKI... I'M CURIOUS... YOU BETTER NOT BE SLACKIN' OFF AGAIN, BORSALINO!! I'LL LET THE YOUNGSTERS GIVE YOU THE DETAILS WHEN THEY'RE UP." A scientist-like figure questions Borsalino: "SO, HOW MUCH FUNDING ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE FOR MY RESEARCHI THIS ARREST IS ALL A FACADE. YOU GUYS WANT MY BRAIN WORKING FOR YOU, RIGHTI" Borsalino replies with a grin, "HEH HEH! YOU'RE AN INTERESTING GUY, HUH..." The Marine with the cap snarls, "THAT'S A DAMN BIG HEAD...!! I'M WITH THE NAVY; THE NAME'S BORSALINO!!" Borsalino asks, "HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO KILL YOUR BEST FRIENDI" A fight erupts as the scientist is struck: "LEND ME A HAND, BORSALINO! WHEN WE'RE DONE, IT'LL BE AN ISLAND 500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE!" Borsalino declares, "I'M GONNA CALL IT 'EGGHEAD.'"

Sakazuki's silhouette looms as Borsalino's voice echoes, "...SAKAZUKII YOU THINK I'M SLACKIN' OFF..." Borsalino's face fills the panel, sweat pouring down as he yells, "...COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF, YOU DAMN INGRATE!! WELL, IF YOU'VE GOT TIME TO WASTE DOUBTING ME..." Sakazuki glares back with a Marine cap, retorting, "WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!" The burning island backdrop shows distant explosions while Borsalino continues the heated exchange. "THAT WAS MY BAD, BROTHER."

A massive ship sails away from the ruined island. "I GUESS THE PARTY WAS OFFICIALLY CALLED OFF. IT'S SO QUIET..." A Vegapunk-like figure pleads, "PLEASE CAN YOU TAKE ME AWAY FROM EGGHEADI!" On the deck, crew members discuss: "BUT I GET IT, WE FAILED TO ACCOMPLISH OUR MAIN GOAL... YEAH, AND IT'S STRANGE TO SEE LUFFY SO DEJECTED... IT'S ODD AFTER JUST ONE DRINK." A large man with a star hat growls, "IT'S PATHETIC. HE'S AN EMPEROR NOW... I'M WITH YOU. I'M STILL TRYNA WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THAT!! IT'S A MIRACLE WE GOT OUT OF THAT HELLSCAPE AT ALL! WE HAD THE FIVE ELDERS, AN ADMIRAL, CP0, THE SERAPHIM, AND AN ARMADA OF WARSHIPS TO GET THROUGH!!" Another crewmate adds, "AN OLD MAN DYING SHOULDN'T AFFECT HIM THIS BADLY. THAT'S A BIT HARSH..."

A bandaged girl with a headband jolts upright in shock, eyes wide as she shouts "YOU'RE AWAKE!!" while a device blinks and large SFX "ば!!" "ん!!" explode around her. She gasps "HAA!!" A nearby figure murmurs "HMI" as a beeping device on her chest reads "BEEP BEEP". In the next panels, a long-haired woman named Lilith is surrounded by concerned allies; a small figure with a top hat cries "LILITH-CHAAAAAAN!!" with hearts floating, while others exclaim "ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, LILITHI", "THANK GOODNESS!", and "PHEW...". The scene shifts to a massive room aboard the giants' ship. A character states "OH RIGHT, WE'RE ON THE GIANTS' SHIP. NO WONDER EVERYTHING'S SO MASSIVE." Another adds "WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SAVE ANY OF THE OTHER VEGAPUNKS!!" and pleads "PLEASE FORGIVE US!!" A somber voice continues "THIS WILL BE A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW, BUT WE HAVE TO TELL YOU..." as the group sits on an oversized couch beneath giant circular emblems.

The bandaged girl screams "WAAAAAAAAA AHHHHHHH!!!" while clutching her head, crying "I JUST NEED TO CRY FOR A BIT!!" and asking "HOW ARE YOU THE EVIL ONE AGAINI" A dark-haired man watches nearby. Lilith sits up as allies reassure her: "HEARDI I'VE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED!", "IT'S OKAY.", "I SEE.", and "ATLAS HIT YOU PRETTY HARD... SO IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE IF YOU'RE DISORIENTED." The girl looks concerned. Later, the group stands near a cliff overlooking the sea where a massive ship shaped like a smiling face floats; one says "DAMN IT ALL..." while another notes "SAY... THE ATMOSPHERE FROM THAT TABLE SEEMS A BIT GLOOMY, DOESN'T ITI" They discuss hunger and fruit left by the giants. In the final panel, the bandaged girl stands with hands on hips declaring "THAT'S PLENTY!!" as Luffy devours grapes in a frenzy, surrounded by the others including the small top-hatted figure.

The bandaged girl explains "HOWEVER, IT'S ALL A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE. A SECOND AGO, I WAS CRYING BECAUSE I WAS SAD ABOUT EVERYONE'S DEATHS. HERE'S THE TRUTH..." as silhouettes stand before a fruit-laden table. The group reacts with shock: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU 'HEARD ABOUT IT'I", "I SEE, SO LUFFY'S BEEN TAKING IT BADLY.", and "IT'S ALRIGHT THOUGH. I JUST HEARD ABOUT IT AND I'M SURE." Close-ups show wide-eyed, sweating faces gasping "EVERYONE'S ALIVE!!", "!!I", and "TO PUT IT SIMPLY..." A skull with flames appears. The final spread erupts with Luffy yelling "WHAAAAAATTI!I!" while clinging to the side of the giant ship in the water. He shouts "...IS THAT YOU KEPT YOUR PROMISE TO ME!!" and "SO DON'T BE SO GLUM, LUFFY!!" as allies react in confusion, one noting "EVEN IF THEY'RE FUNCTIONALLY DEAD. I DON'T GET IT!" and another adding "BASICALLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY... SO THEY'RE... G-GHOSTS...I!"

A massive celebratory spread erupts aboard the ship as the Straw Hats and giants party wildly. Luffy roars "YEAHHH!!! CHEERS!!" while declaring "... 'CAUSE I'M DEFINITELY GONNA BE KING OF THE PIRATES!!" and "AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE WITH ME OR AGAINST ME..." A giant cheers "YEAH, THAT'S WAY I SET SAIL, THE FIRST PLACE...!!" as Nami raises a barrel and others shout "THANKS FOR HELPING US OUT!", "HEY, GIANTS!!", "ZORO!! WUFFY IS...!!", "BRING THE FOOD!!", "GET THE BOOZE!!", and "THEN LET'S HAVE THAT FEAST!!" Vegapunk-related narration reads "VEGAPUNK BASICALLY SAID WHOEVER FINDS THE ONE PIECE WILL SHAKE THE WORLD, RIGHTI!" The ship sails onward with a scroll stating "AND SO, THE SHIPS SET COURSE TO THE NORTHEAST..." while smaller panels show the crew heading toward Elbaf, the fabled country of the giants, with cries of "GYA HA HA HA!" and "GABA BA BA!" The page ends on a "BREAK NEXT WEEK" note.
