BEING DEAD IS USELESS

A massive foot slams down with tremendous force, crushing part of a structure amid flying debris and a large Japanese impact SFX. In the lower panel, the shout "BROGY!" rings out as several figures stand amid the ruins of a massive broken object on a stone platform. In the distance, enormous giants loom over the scene, one raising an arm, while smoke and dust rise from the destruction. The perspective shows shattered stone and wooden debris scattered across the area.

Mr. 3 sweats nervously, saying "PERHAPS I UNDERESTIMATED THE EXTENT OF A GIANT'S POWER..." and "I NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED HE COULD BREAK MY CANDLE JACKET...". Usopp stands with a serious expression nearby. Sanji smirks with "HMPH." while Nami laughs loudly "KYAHAHAHA! WHAT AN IDIOT!". Mr. 3 then declares "IT SEEMS I MUST COMPLETELY RESTRAIN YOUR ENTIRE BODY..." as a small creature in a shell-like form appears. In the large bottom panel, Mr. 3 activates his technique with the cry "DORU DORU ARTS!" and "SWORD!", creating a massive wax sword that swings forward with dramatic motion lines and impact effects.

Mr. 3's massive wax arm and sword swing violently with the command "NOW STAY STILL!" amid heavy impact lines and SFX. Nami reacts in shock with wide eyes and an open mouth. Zoro glares intensely with sweat on his face. Nami shouts "BROGY!" in alarm. Below, Mr. 3 laughs triumphantly "FUHA-HAHAHA!" while threatening "MOVE AND YOUR ARMS AND LEGS WILL BE TORN OFF!" as the wax structure tightens around a struggling victim with more impact SFX and motion effects.

In a ruined jungle clearing filled with toppled stone idols, a massive black sphere slams into the ground amid flying debris and impact lines. Wax-covered figures lie scattered as a voice cackles, "FUHA-HAHA-HAHA!" A grotesque, toothy creature writhes in agony, shrieking "ARGHH-HHHHH!" Below, Mr. 3 leans forward with a lit candle on his head, shouting "HURRY UP AND TURN ALL OF THEM INTO WAX-FIGURES!" and "SPEED UP, MY CANDLE SERVICE!" Nami glares at him, sweat flying, and yells "YOU VICIOUS MONSTER!"

A colossal wax fountain erupts skyward with the sound "HAPP PPP..." sending thick mist and droplets everywhere. The wax mist swirls through the air as victims clutch their chests. A narration box reads, "THE MIST OF WAX IS GETTING IN OUR LUNGS! AT THIS RATE, WE'LL BE TURNED INTO WAX-FIGURES FROM INSIDE OUR BODIES...!" Sanji coughs violently while holding a small figure; Nami doubles over, gasping "MY CHEST... HURTS...!" and "COUGH! COUGH!"

Mr. 3 looms over a suffering Nami, declaring "YOUR EXPRESSION OF PAIN AND ANGUISH IS THE ART I SEEK! HARDEN AWAY INTO WAX IN TERROR!" and laughing "FUHAHAHAHAHA! YES, YES! SUFFER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN UNTIL YOU DIE!" Zoro's silhouette stands in the foreground while voices cry "HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH AN INHUMANE THING TO BROGY!" and "ART!I YOU'RE DEPRAVED!" A desperate shout rings out: "ZORO! DON'T JUST STAND THERE QUIETLY! DO SOMETHING!" In the background, Brogy remains trapped in hardening wax.

Flashback panels show Dorry and Brogy locked in endless combat amid dust and impact effects. Narration states, "DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY, WE FOUGHT AND FOUGHT...!" and "OUR DUEL WAS SUSTAINED ONLY BY OUR PRIDE BORN FROM ELBAF." The giants clash with weapons as one asks, "IF THIS IS HOW THE TWO OF US MEET OUR END THEN... ELBAF..." Brogy's anguished voice demands, "WHY WILL YOU NOT LET US DIE IN BATTLE...!I ART THOU NOT TOO CRUEL...!I"

A cloaked figure laughs maniacally atop a massive wax structure, declaring, "AND AGONY! YOU'LL BECOME AN EXCELLENT WORK OF ART FOR SURE! FUHAHAHA! YOUR LAMENT! YOUR BITTERNESS!" Small figures scatter below as the villain continues, "WHAT A MOST AMUSING FACE YOU MAKE! IT'S EXQUISITE! FUHIHA-HAHAHA!" The giant, body partially encased in hardening wax, grits his teeth and shouts, "MY BODY'S HARDENED ALREADY!" Nearby allies cry out, "ISN'T THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO!I" The giant strains desperately, "MY HAND WON'T MOVE...! NO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE LIKE THIS!" With a fierce roar he bellows, "ELBAF!" The villain sneers, "CAN YOU STILL MOVE, GIANTI" The giant answers through clenched teeth, "I CAN STILL MOVE AS WELL." The cloaked man replies coldly, "TEARING YOUR ARMS AND LEGS WILL BE A LOT MORE USEFUL THAN BEING DEAD."

The giant warrior, sword raised high, glares with intense focus and asks, "WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP ME CRUSH THESE BASTARDSI" He continues, "ONCE I CUT OFF MY FEET..." The others react in shock, "!!!I" One ally protests, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHATI IT'S USELESS! EVEN IF WE WERE TO DO THAT AND GET DOWN FROM HERE, THEY'D CATCH US AGAIN IN AN INSTANT!" Another demands, "WHY, WHAT WILL YOU DOI" The giant answers calmly, "IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE IN A TIME LIKE THIS THAT I'M SAYING IT." The woman cries, "Y... YOUR FEET!I YOU'RE GOING TO CUT OFF YOUR OWN FEET!I ARE YOU JOKING!I" The giant replies, "STANDING HERE IS ONLY GOING TO BRING US CERTAIN DEATH. MIGHT AS WELL GO DOWN AND PAINFULLY STRUGGLE DOWN TO OUR VERY LAST BREATH...!" He adds with a faint smile, "CAN'T KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY, Y'KNOWI"

In the jungle clearing, a tall man in a striped cloak smirks, "HMPH... OF COURSE HE'S NOT SERIOUS. CAN'T YOU SEEI THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD EVER DO SUCH A THING!" A man in a black coat retorts, "WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT...! HAVE YOU LOST IT!I" The cloaked man insists, "IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A BLUFF!" Another voice questions, "AM I RIGHTI THERE'S NO REASON TO DIE QUIETLY AT THE HANDS OF THESE WEAKLINGS." The giant recalls, "EVEN I WAS ON THE VERGE OF LOSING MY WILL TO FIGHT..." A massive shadowy form looms as someone shouts, "WHAT A BOLD LITTLE ONE YOU ARE...!!" The giant warrior, now freed and gripping his massive sword, roars with renewed spirit, "GABA-BABABA!" He declares, "WITH THAT SPIRIT OF YOURS! I'LL GLADLY FOLLOW ALONG," as the enormous skull structure and wax fountain loom in the background.

A wide view reveals the ruined plaza dominated by a giant whale skull and a grotesque wax fountain, with distant figures standing amid the devastation. The giant warrior stands tall, swords planted, as massive laughter erupts across the page: "ゴォォォォォォ" The woman stares in disbelief, sweat dripping, and stammers, "Y-YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT!I HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO FIGHT WITHOUT BOTH YOUR LEGS!I" The giant answers with a fierce grin, "WHO KNOWS." He plants his blades and states firmly, "BUT I PLAN TO WIN." Close-ups show the giant's determined face and the shocked expressions of his allies as the echoing laughter continues, "オォォォ."

In the ruined port, a tall man in a striped shirt and topknot stands with arms spread, shouting "THEY'RE INSANE!" while a cloaked figure nearby yells "WHAT'S WITH THESE FOOLS!I" Below, Vivi turns and calls out as a blond man with a rifle answers "SURE THING." A close-up shows sweat flying as someone shouts "VIVI! WAIT FOR ME! I'LL FIGHT TOO!" A stern face glares and declares, "PRINCESS VIVI, ARE YOU PREPARED TO NEVER GIVE UP AND DIEI" The striped-shirt man lunges forward with a massive weapon, roaring "I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH BUT I'LL JUST HAVE TO KILL YOU ALL!" Vivi and her ally brace themselves as the reply comes: "THEN LET'S DO THIS!" Impact lines and debris fill the chaotic battlefield.

A massive explosion erupts in the center of the page as a figure is hurled backward with limbs flailing. Enormous bold letters scream "ORYAAAAAAA!" across the panel. Below, Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji stare upward in utter shock, mouths wide open and eyes bulging at the sudden violent impact.

Smoke and debris drift as a small figure tumbles through the air. Large lettering reads "あ あ あ あ あ あ あ あ." In the next panel a voice shouts "GET READY TO HAVE YOUR ASSES KICKED!" while a cloaked swordsman stands with his back turned. Another figure points and yells "YOU THERE!" A huge "ドカーーン" blast rocks the harbor as the Straw Hats and allies face the smoking wreckage of the town.

From a high vantage, someone mutters "WHAT...I" Below, a man in a striped outfit stands with a duck beside him. In the foreground Luffy, wearing a hat, points dramatically and yells "LET'S DO THIS, USOPP!" while gripping a massive slingshot. Usopp, face covered by a mask and goggles, struggles under Luffy's arm as a duck quacks "QUACK!" Speech bubbles also cry "ROGER!" and "BIRD!" amid swirling leaves and debris.

Carue, Usopp, and Luffy stare in horror with wide eyes and open mouths. Carue shouts "CARUE!", Usopp yells "USOPP!", and Luffy cries "LUFFY!". In the jungle clearing, Usopp stands tense as he declares, "BEAT THESE LOSERS' FACES INTO AN UN-RECOGNIZABLE PULP AND SEND THEM FLYING AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!" A masked figure with a long nose and top hat replies, "USOPP...!" while another armored giant head exclaims, "MASTER BROGY! WE SHALL AVENGE YOUR AGONY!" Luffy clenches his fists tightly in the foreground, glaring furiously as he growls, "THESE BASTARDS DEFILED THE GIANTS' DUEL! THAT'S WHAT I PLAN TO DO!" Impact lines and sweat drops emphasize the rising anger.

A massive sound effect "ドドドド" shakes the scene. Luffy stands with his back partly turned, one foot raised, facing a tall man in a black tank top holding a large pair of scissors. The man says, "SEEMS THE MARINE HQ HAS DROPPED THEIR STANDARDS QUITE A BIT." Luffy replies, "AH, SO YOU'RE THE ONE THEY CALL EAST BLUE'S MOST WANTED MAN, ARE YOU NOW..." In the lower panels, a girl with pigtails screams in panic, "START BY DESTROYING THIS PILLAR OR WE'LL TURN INTO WAX-FIGURES! LUFFY!" Usopp yells, "THERE'S A 3! THE 3'S ON FIRE!" while Luffy snaps, "QUIET! I SAID SHUT UP!" and a bespectacled man sweats, "WHOA! WHAT A WEIRD HEAD!"

Zoro stands with arms crossed, responding "NO, NOT PARTICULARLY." In the background, distant figures react with "YOU GUYS IN TROUBLEI" and "HUHI". The girl with pigtails asks, "COULD YOU DESTROY THIS PILLAR FOR USI I'LL LEAVE THE REST TO YOU." Zoro answers, "WELL IN ANY CASE..." She presses, "HOW IS THAT NOT BEING IN TROUBLE!I" as blood splatters from cuts on her legs. Zoro notes, "YEAH, I WAS ABOUT HALF-DONE CUTTING THEM... HAHA." She cries, "W-WAIT A MINUTE! YOUR LEGS ARE BLEEDING!" Mr. 3 smirks, "OH WELL SEE ABOUT THAT, WON'T WEI" while Luffy grins widely and answers, "SURE THING."
