The chapter title page displays the massive One Piece logo with skull and crossbones. Below it reads CHAPTER 1178: "FADING NIGHTMARE". The central illustration shows Eustass Kid mid-run, right fist raised, mechanical left arm extended, fleeing a massive charging bull with prominent horns in a village square lined with stone buildings, flowers, and a distant tower. Dust and motion lines emphasize the chase. At the bottom a caption states: COVER REQUEST BY NANA KAONITA: "KID BEING CHASED BY A BULL IN A BULLFIGHT"! EIICHIRO ODA is credited beneath.

Eustass Kid

High on a grassy cliff, a massive horned figure labeled LUFFY AND LOKI CONFRONT GUNKO... stands beside a smaller cloaked person. A distant voice calls "LUFFY." Someone shouts "HEEEY!!" with a long SFX ブィーッ!!. In the next tier a chaotic melee erupts; a voice yells "TAKE CARE OF THEM!!" while another demands "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED OVER THEREI!" Nami cries "WHATI! USOPP!! BROOK!!" Below, Loki looms over the group. A voice retorts "THAT'S THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK, HUHI!" Loki declares "'CUZ LOKI'S GONNA START WRECKING EVERYTHING!!" Usopp warns "BUT YOU GUYS BETTER STAY A LITTLE FARTHER BACK!!" as another adds "IF THINGS GET WORSE, YEAH!!" Loki asks "NEED A HANDI"

LuffyLokiGunkoNamiUsoppBrook

A bandaged, goggled figure narrates: "HOWEVER, THOSE WHO MOVED WHILE HIDING WITHIN THE DEEP FOG......AND ITS CAPTAIN WAS OF EXTRAORDINARY SIZE..." A small ship silhouette is shown against a giant dragon-like beast. The narration continues: "A SHIP FROM THE GIANTS WAS SIGHTED MANY YEARS AGO... TARGETED ONLY WORLD GOVERNMENT SHIPS AND STRUCK THEM DOWN..." The giant creature exhales a massive blast of smoke and debris. In the lower panels the same horned giant roars amid explosions, declaring "I'M THE ONE WHO'S GONNA BLOW HER AWAY!!!" with heavy SFX ズルルルル!! and impact lines.

Loki

The narration states "THOSE RUMORS WERE BEING TOLD AS IF THEY WERE TRUE!" while a tiny winged figure on a spear-carrying mount flies near the giant beast. Another caption reads "THERE WERE REPORTED SIGHTINGS OF A GIANT FLYING CREATURE." A voice concludes "I SEE... IT MAKES SENSE NOW." Meanwhile the giant creature thinks "MEANWHILE, AT THE SAME TIME... SHE GOT AWAY... WHERE IS SHEI! SHE'S SO TINY!!" In close-ups Brook, a masked fighter, and Usopp react with shock. Usopp shouts "SHE'S OVER THERE!! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO USOPP..." A sudden impact sends the giant creature reeling; Brook yells "AND TO BROOKI!!" as a dark figure strikes with a massive weapon. The creature cries "WHATI!!" amid flying debris and motion lines.

LokiBrookUsopp

A massive black horned creature looms with glowing eyes as a tiny figure is flung through the air. Voices cry out, "SOMETHING CAME OUT OF HER!!!" and "JUST AS ROCKS DID!!!" The creature's silhouette twists violently. In smaller panels an enormous eye glares while declaring, "YOU SHALL... HATE EACH OTHER!!" Rapid strikes land with "HMI!" "AH!!" and "SHRK!!" as the creature offers, "I GRANT YOU EVEN GREATER STRENGTH... IN EXCHANGE FOR A CERTAIN PORTION OF YOUR LIFE-SPAN..." A small curly-haired fighter tumbles away. The creature finishes with a dramatic flourish, "REVERSI. DOMI..." while the tiny figure reacts in shock, "!!I"

LuffyBlack Horned Creature

The black creature's face fills the frame with intense eyes and sweat drops as impact lines explode, "ドクン!!" Luffy stares back wide-eyed. The creature lunges, roaring, "HEY, YOU THERE! YOU MENTIONED ROCKS EARLIER, DIDN'T YOUI! WHAT AN ANNOYING LITTLE THING!!" Luffy is sent flying again while retorting, "WHAT DO YOU JUST DO, HUHI! THAT DIDN'T EVEN HURT!!" He stretches his arm and shouts, "GOMU GOMU NO!!" The creature counters with "KURI RIRI!!" as Luffy is grabbed and slammed, yelling, "NOW IT'S EVEN SMALLER!! I CAN'T FIGHT LIKE THIS!!" The creature looms over him, finishing, "JUST AS EXPECTED... YOU TWO REALLY ARE..."

LuffyBlack Horned Creature

Massive eyes glare from above as Luffy launches a furious barrage, "DAWN GATLING!!!" His fists rain down in a storm of black Busoshoku-coated punches that smash into the creature's body with explosive force and impact lines. The creature recoils, "!!!" Below, Luffy is hurled aside while voices shout, "KU RIRI!!" "GET OUT THE WAY, LUFFY!!!" and "RAGNIR!!" A hammer-wielding silhouette swings with "KU RIRI!!" as Luffy tumbles through debris, reacting with surprise.

Elbaf's Fishermen Village burns as panicked residents shout, "BUT CLEANING UP THIS MESS IS GONNA BE A NIGHTMARE!!" "SURE, THAT BASTARD LOKI TOOK DOWN THE MONSTERS..." "WE'VE GOTTA PUT THIS FIRE OUT FAST!!" Rain pours while fighters argue, "LET IT POUR RRR!!" "KEEP THE RAIN COMING, ZEUS!!" and "I FEEL BAD FOR DOUBTING THAT BEFORE, BUT LOOK AT THIS!!" Luffy appears mid-air unleashing a massive spinning kick, "ニルフヘイム!!!" He follows with rapid spinning strikes, "IPPON ZEO!!!" and "UMI-GUMO..." while commenting, "WHOA!! SO THAT'S HOW YOU DO THINGS, HUHI!" A horned warrior watches and mutters, "NO IDEA WHO THAT IS..."

LuffyElbaf VillagersHammer WielderHorned Warrior

Chopper screams in panic as a demonic transformation strikes him, yelling "CHOPPERI!" and "YAAAAAH!!!" Zoro stands nearby, focused, saying "ALRIGHT, LEAVE IT TO ME." In the Western Village, massive flames engulf the castle and buildings as someone roars "UOOOOOOOH!!!" Elbaf warriors battle transformed demons; one mink-like fighter shouts "WHAT DID YOU DOI!!" while another cries "ZORO!!" A lion mink declares "...THEY SNAP OUT OF THAT DEMONIC TRANSFORMATION!! BUT WHEN I PUNCH THEM... I DUNNO EITHER!!" as impacts and "BARI BARI" sounds ring out. A warrior asks "ARE WE DONE HEREI WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERSI" Zoro replies "THAT'S GOTTA BE IT, ZORO!! AMAZING!! GABA BA BA" while another complains "...WHEN YOU COMPLIMENT ME LIKE THAT, YOU IDIOT! ♥ HUHI!! I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL..." The group confirms "WE MANAGED TO TURN THEM BACK TO WHITE" and "IT'S OKAY. WE COULDN'T RESIST IT EITHER..." as distant fires rage and a voice warns "THERE ARE TWO OR THREE LEFT, RIGHT... HOW DARE YOU... DAMN YOU, CHIEFS...!!"

Scouts report from the burning villages: "NO ENEMIES IN THE ALCOHOL VILLAGE EITHER, BUT THE FIRE CONTINUES" and "NO SIGNS OF ENEMIES IN THE ARTI-GANG VILLAGE!!" A horned woman and a massive bearded warrior react with shock as a long scream "わあああああああああああああああ...!!" echoes. Orders are given: "ALSO CONFIRM WHETHER THE DEMONS ARE DEAD OR NOT... AND WHERE THEY ARE!!" and "PUT OUT ANY FIRES WHEREVER THEY'RE STILL BURNING!!" The giant Saul stares in disbelief, asking "WHAT DOES THIS MEANI" as a woman beside him says "SAUL..." A distant sign marks "THE OWL LIBRARY" amid the ruined, flaming landscape.

Saul walks through the devastated Owl Library, noting "...BUT THERE'S NO SIGN OF ANY BURNED BOOKS... AND THE SHELVES ARE COMPLETELY EMPTY..." while another voice observes "YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL THERE WAS A FIRE HERE TOO..." Robin wonders "I HOPE THAT'S THE CASE... BUT THEN... WHERE IS BIBLIO NOW...I" Saul continues "WHAT IF HE ESCAPED WITH THE BOOKSI" and "BUT WAIT... LET'S NOT LOSE HOPE..." A warrior exclaims "AND BIBLIO THE OWL ISN'T HERE EITHER!!" In the distance, a massive armored giant stands amid the ruins as someone asks "WHAT HAPPENED TO IMU-SAMAI!" and another replies "STILL, JUST THREE PEOPLE MANAGED TO THROW ALL OF ELBAF INTO CHAOS... EVEN IF THEY WERE FIGHTING SOME MASSIVE ORGANIZATION OR ANYTHING!! BUT IT'S NOT LIKE WE WERE FIGHTING KNIGHTS OF THE HOLY LAND... THERE WERE ONLY THREE OF THEM. THINGS MOVED PRETTY FAST... EVER SINCE THE COUNTER-ATTACK BEGAN... MEH!!"

Explosions and impacts "ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ!!" shake the edge of the Western Village. A massive heart-like creature pulses with "BA-THUMP BA-THUMP..." as a battered giant groans "OW OW OW OW!" and another voice urges "C'MON, HEAD... GET OVER HERE." Loki clutches his chest, muttering "DAMN IT..." while a squirrel-like figure cries "KURI-RI...!!" Luffy stands on his side of the scene, declaring "JUST GO TO THE VILLAGE YOURSELF. I'M NOT GOING OVER THERE TO GET IT. AND WHAT'S WITH THAT APPEARANCE...I LOKI... I NEED VOOD. SQUIRREL... I NEED VOOD." Sound effects "FW OOF", "SHHFF", and "ゴロゴロ..." fill the air as the two sides face each other near the burning cliffs.

The grand silhouette of Pangea Castle rises against the sky in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, its towers and spires dominating the landscape as distant cries echo. A small figure bows deeply before the ruined entrance to the Chamber of Flowers. "Yes, Imu-sama," the figure replies. "Goro-sei..." A voice trails off with ellipses. Imu, a towering black-robed figure with glowing circular eyes, fills the foreground. "For a brief time," Imu declares in a large speech bubble. "Mu shall withdraw from the Holy Land..." Shock ripples outward with impact lines and a sharp "!!I" A narration box exclaims, "Is Imu's destination that place...I!" The page ends with the One Piece logo and "CH. 1178 / END".
