What Constitutes Death

Explosions rock the sea as warships clash amid smoke and debris. A voice cries, "OH, ROB LUCCI-SAN! KAKU-SAN!!" while another orders, "LOAD THE SERAPHIM AS SOON AS THEY'RE CHARGED!" and notes, "AS FOR THE WEAPONIZED SEA BEASTS AND MARK III PACIFISTA..." A question appears: "WHATI THE NEXT FOR THE MARINES STILL LEFT STANDINGI" On a ship's deck, a cloaked figure asks, "WAIT... WHERE'S STUSSY-SANI" A tall man with long dark hair and a scar reacts in shock, exclaiming "WHAAATI!" as another states, "KILLED IN ACTION."

A massive warship sails through turbulent waters. A bearded elder with a scar speaks: "...WE SET OUT FOR. WE OBTAINED EVERYTHING... WITH YORK, PUNK RECORDS AND THE POWER STATION IN HAND... WE HAVE SECURED ACCESS TO THE ETERNAL MOTHER FLAME." He continues, "THAT RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ADEQUATE... BUT WE HAD ONE CRITICAL HICCUP." In a grand hall, the elder addresses kneeling figures including a tall man in a top hat and a small child-like figure. He declares, "...THE NINE OF US VICE ADMIRALS COULDN'T GET THE JOB DONE!! EVEN WITH OUR GRAND BUSTER CALL FLEET... IT IS A DISGRACE THAT WE FAILED TO CAPTURE JEWELRY BONNEY AND THE STRAW HAT CREW...!! WE'RE TERRIBLY SORRY, SIR! PLEASE GIVE US LEAVE TO PURSUE THEM TO ELBAF!"

The Gorosei elder sits with hands clasped, stating, "THE FAILURE TO WHICH I REFER IS FAR MORE DIRE. ALLOWING VEGAPUNK'S MESSAGE TO PLAY WAS AN UNEXPECTED DISASTER..." He adds, "... NO. FORGET ELBAF." Nearby figures react: a bandaged man growls "...IT'S IRONIC REALLY..." while others note, "...THAT IRON GIANT SURFACING TO AID IN THE PIRATES' ESCAPE... NOT TO MENTION..." A massive robot-like figure looms in a ruined city as narration reads, "THIS... IS THE FUTURE! I AM CERTAIN IT WILL ULTIMATELY PROVE TO BE A GREAT ASSET TO OUR MILITARY MIGHT!" A voice exclaims, "BUT SAINT SATURN! WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED ORDERS TO SCRAP IT...!!" and another replies, "REALLYI!" A caption states, "ROUGHLY 200 YEARS AGO..."

Narration recounts that something remained dormant for 200 years yet clearly moved to protect Straw Hat Luffy. A close-up shows a scarred, elderly face under a black cap as the voice continues. In smaller panels, grotesque figures in formal wear react with shock; one thanks someone for the opportunity while another laments wasting an exciting specimen. A Marine officer with a headband glares, sweat flying, as another figure questions whether Vegapunk’s message being called a failure implies hidden truth. The large central figure, identified as Saint Saturn in a Marine uniform, declares himself a humble and loyal soldier of the government and states he has one question on his mind. The bottom splash erupts in violence: Vice Admiral Doberman is hurled backward through debris with a massive impact, eyes wide in shock as someone off-panel shouts “VICE ADMIRAL DOBBERMAN!!” while the vice admiral himself yells in pain.

Explosions rock the upper structure as “PUFF PUFF” clouds and debris fly outward. Below, a frantic girl with goggles and a “PUNK” shirt cries “NOT GOOD!!” while staring upward. Speech bubbles note the sky clouds and ask what is happening inside the lab. She realizes it must be Edison and that the fool couldn’t simply roll over and die in the Fabric-Stratum. The Vegapunk cloud factory is shown going haywire, massive smoke billowing as the girl shouts that they aren’t stopping. Onlookers react with alarm as the factory continues its uncontrolled output.

A close-up shows a grinning figure with wild hair aiming a weapon, declaring “HEH. BINGO.” A massive explosion tears through the lab structure, sending Vegapunk satellites and debris flying amid large “ドゴォォン!!” and “ドン!!” sound effects. The girl from before clutches a large weapon, sweat flying, as she realizes “I’VE BEEN PLAYED! DAMN IT!!” while “PUNK RECORDS!!” is highlighted amid the smoke. Distant views show the cloud factory still rumbling and expanding as the situation spirals out of control.

The scene shifts to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. Lavish nobles and World Nobles complain loudly from their opulent balconies. One shouts that the world sinking doesn’t affect them and that Vegapunk can’t be telling the truth. Another demands to know what the dimwit is doing about Kuma’s escape. A chef is berated for serving scraps and fish instead of beef. Chaos erupts as gunshots ring out (“BANG!!”) and a noble screams “AAAAAHHHH!!” while falling. The crowd below panics, yelling about famine, being treated like common rats, and demanding the negligent scum responsible be sentenced to death and tortured.

In the grand Room of Authority, a cloaked figure with a massive crescent-shaped helmet and sword stands tall. Voices call out from the background: "GARLING...!!" and "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE...I" Garling declares, "NEW ORDERS... HAVE BEEN BESTOWED UPON ME." A bald elder with a scar growls, "NEW ORDERS...I FROM WHOMI" A bearded elder demands, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, GARLINGI" while a long-haired elder warns, "TREAD LIGHTLY. YOU FORGET YOURSELF." Garling responds with a sharp "HMI" as dramatic impact lines fill the panel.

Garling continues, "...AS I WAS JUST NAMED THE NEW DEFENSE SCIENCE WARRIOR GOD. THE VEGAPUNK KNOWN AS YORK... SHALL HENCEFORTH BE UNDER MY PURVIEW..." The other elders react with shock. One states, "THE WORLD IS HEADING FOR TURMOIL... AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF REBELLION IS IMMINENT." Another says, "DON'T TELL ME..." Garling sits cross-legged and proclaims, "...MY FELLOW ELDERS! LET US WORK TOGETHER TO BETTER THE WORLD..." Large text declares: "FIVE ELDER PLANETS SAINT FIGARLAND GARLING DEFENSE SCIENCE WARRIOR GOD".

On Egghead, the Island of the Future, chaos erupts around Saint Saturn. A woman with earrings shouts, "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIMI!" and "WHAT'S GOING ONI" Saturn screams in agony, "AAAAA AHHHH!!" as his body twists and darkens. Crew members cry, "SAINT SATURN, SIRI!" and "WHERE ARE THOSE MEDICSI! HURRY, WE NEED THEM!!" Another yells, "SAINT SATURN! TELL US, WHAT SHOULD WE DOI!" Saturn continues roaring, "AGGGH HHHH!!!" while bystanders panic, "HE'S ONE OF THE WORLD'S OVERSEERS!! WE CAN'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HIM!!"

Saturn's monstrous transformation intensifies. He roars, "AGHHHH HHHHHH!!!" and "NO... IT CAN'T BE... I'M..." as his body expands into a grotesque, horned beast form. Onlookers scream in terror: "WHAT THEI!" and "MU...!!" A voice accuses, "SATURN... JOY BOY WAS BEHIND THAT ESCAPE, AND YOU ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN." Saturn replies weakly, "...!!" while others plead, "HOW COULD I ANTICIPATE THAT POWER FOILING US...I" and "HAVE MERCY...!!" Final cries of "IMU-SAMA!!" echo as the monstrous Saturn looms.

A colossal explosion rips through the sea as a massive skeletal head erupts from the water amid flaming debris and shattered structures. Someone screams in terror, "AHHHHH HHHHHH!!!" while a voice cries out "IMU-SA--". Smaller panels show frantic reactions: a spinning mechanical device, figures tumbling through the blast, and a large creature-like form recoiling with "AAGH!". Below, a dark interior reveals a fallen figure on stairs marked "CLATTER". A wide-eyed character stares in horror, shouting "A SKELETON...I!" as the enormous skull looms over the wreckage with rattling sounds and impact effects.

Small mechanical beings clasp hands with "CLASP" and "NICE." A tall figure in a dark coat and top hat stands amid clouds, replying "SHUDDAP, YA KNUCKLE-HEAD!" while a child-like voice laughs "ABSOLUTELY BONKERS! HA HA HA!" and another says "I SEE YOU ALWAYS ADMIRED MY LOVELY PROPORTIONS, HUH." Multiple floating heads debate: "BUT THAT'S BETTER THAN HANDIN' HER THE WHOLE THING ON A SILVER PLATTER, AIN'T ITI", "SO SHE'LL STILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT.", "THE SIGNAL REACHES ACROSS THE GLOBE.", "THAT TRAITOR YORK GOT IN THE WAY!!", and "LOOKS LIKE WE WEREN'T ABLE TO MOVE THE LABO-STRATUM, TOO...". Below, a group including a long-nosed figure and a horned character react with shock: "VEGAPUUUNKI! BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEEEADI!" and "WEATHERIA, I COME IN ANYONE THEREI THIS HERE'S VEGAPUNK!". The sky fills with massive block letters and a giant spherical structure amid clouds as voices continue debating resources, the world tour, and keeping humanity safe for 500 years.

In Kamabakka Queendom, characters discuss grim revelations over a table. A long-nosed figure states "TO PUT IT BLUNTLY... NONE OF US KNEW THESE DETAILS." A horned character exclaims "NO WATER'S GONNA KILL ME! I CAN SWIM!" while another panics "ARE WE GOING TO DIEI I DON'T WANNA DIE!" and "OH MY, HOW GRIZZLY! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPENI". The group explains: "...PLUNGING THE WORLD 200 METERS DEEPER INTO THE OCEAN.", "THE VOID CENTURY COVERED UP A MASSIVE WAR...", "AND THAT CULMINATED IN ANCIENT WEAPONS TECH...". A wide view shows a grand palace with crowds as voices declare "THEY'LL LIKELY GET TO WIELD THAT DEVASTATING POWER FOR THEMSELVES!!", "NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE ONE WHO CLAIMS THE ONE PIECE...", "...WILL NOT ONLY BE CROWNED PIRATE KING...", and "WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!".

Close panels reveal intense reactions: "IS THIS WHY THEY'VE SPENT THE LAST 700 YEARS FORCINGK SLAVES......TO BUILD ALL THOSE GIGANTIC STRUCTURESI!", "THERE'S ALSO TEQUILA VULF, VODKA VULF, RUM VULF, AND BOURBON VULF!", "THIS EXPLAINS WHY THE FIRST CELESTIAL DRAGONS CHOSE TO LIVE ON THE RED LINE; IT'S THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE PLANET!", and "THE WORLD WILL SINK...". A lone figure stands before ruins as a voice warns "VEGAPUNK... AMONG THOSE WHO HEED YOUR WARNING... MANY WILL ACT OUT OF SELF-INTEREST, NOT PEACE." Shocked faces shout "MINE TOOOOOO!!" and "YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUTTA MY MOUTH!". The final spread shows a dramatic close-up of a crossed-out face declaring "...BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD KILL EACH OTHER TO SECURE HABITABLE LAND!!" and "WE MUST HURRY AND ACHIEVE VICTORY FOR OUR CAUSE..." with the caption "AN ERA OF CHAOS DAWNS..." and the title "ONE PIECE CH. 1125 / END".
