INSTINCT

Massive explosive impact lines and swirling smoke fill the air as a huge shadowy creature looms in the background. A man in a long coat stands in the foreground holding a weapon while another figure with a top hat watches from the left. In the distance, small figures including a duck-like shape and a person on the ground react to the chaos. Large onomatopoeia “ボォォォォ” dominates the upper half of the page. The lower panel shows a close-up of a man with a striped shirt being hurled through the air amid more impact effects and swirling motion lines.

Luffy appears in close-up with a shocked expression, shouting “WHOA, WILL THE GUYS BE ALRIGHT WITH SUCH A BIG FIRE!I” Nearby, someone yells “DAMN THAT STRAW-HAT!” and “HOT! HOT!” as flames and smoke erupt around a striped-shirt man whose face twists in pain. Another panel shows the same man swinging a weapon while yelling “HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY CANDLE SERVICE SET…!” with large Japanese SFX “ずだっ だだ”. Below, a small creature runs while shouting “QUACK! QUACK!” as Luffy leaps forward declaring “AS IF I’D LET YOU GET AWAY!” amid more impact sounds “ボトッ ボトッ”.

Intense action continues with large SFX “オォォォォォォ” and “カ゛ッ!!”. A voice shouts “YOU’VE DONE IT NOW!” as a figure is struck with “CLANG!”. Mr. 3 appears in profile, teeth bared, growling “HOW DARE THEY…!”. In the next sequence a woman with goggles yells “10,000 KG GUILLOTINE!” while delivering a powerful downward kick. Luffy’s eyes widen in alarm as he says “PLAY TIME’S OVER!”. The striped-shirt man is shown being crushed with “Ugh…” and “I’LL CRUSH YOUR NECK INTO PIECES!” while impact effects and motion lines fill the panels.

A massive explosion rocks the area as a girl in a helmet cries out, "WHA!I" The blast sends bodies flying with a piercing "GYAAAA!" and a huge impact SFX. In the aftermath, a battered man with a scarred face glares and snaps, "HEY, YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL YOU'RE EVEN ALIVE." Nearby, a woman complains, "WASN'T THERE A BETTER WAY TO SAVE USI" while another voice adds, "IT'S SO HOT HERE." Smoke and debris fill the air as the group recovers from the sudden blast.

Miss Valentine coughs and says, "COUGH, COUGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT... WE'RE ACTUALLY STILL ALIVE." Nami, gripping her staff, replies with a small smile, "I GUESS... THANKS." Mr. 5 suddenly lunges forward, shouting, "I CAN'T HAVE YOU MESS UP OUR MISSION ANY MORE THAN THIS!" as he attacks. A voice retorts, "HMPH, SO YOU'VE MELTED THE WAX, HAVE YOU NOW!I WHAT A PAIN..." Usopp then hurls a projectile, yelling "GUN-POWDER STAR!" while an ally declares, "CERTAIN KILL!"

Mr. 5 smirks and says, "GOT'CHA." A violent explosion erupts as someone yells, "IDIOT!" and questions, "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THAT USING GUNPOWDER IS USELESS AGAINST A HUMAN-BOMB!I" Mr. 5's face twists in shock with "!!!!I" Usopp grins widely and reveals, "IT WAS MY SPECIAL TABASCO STAR!" He adds, "SORRY, BUT I JUST TOLD A LITTLE WHITE LIE. THAT WASN'T GUNPOWDER..."

Usopp laughs triumphantly, "DAHAHAHAHA!" as a fiery blast erupts with "HAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA!" and massive SFX. Mr. 5, enraged, threatens, "I'LL BLOW YOU UP INTO SMITHEREENS WITH MY 'FULL BODY EXPLOSION'!" Usopp coughs violently, "HACK... HACK..." while Mr. 5 growls, "YOU DAMN PIRATES... HACK! HACK!" Usopp is then struck by a powerful attack, screaming "GYAAAA-AAAA!" as Nami and others react in horror, shouting "USOPP!"

A powerful swordsman leaps into a devastating overhead slash, his blade wreathed in flame as he roars the technique name. The impact erupts across the page with massive motion lines and debris. "GIRI!! (Flaming Demon Slash)". An enormous "!!!!I" reaction bursts from the target. The follow-up panels show the aftermath: the swordsman lands in a crouch, cloak billowing, while the struck figure is driven down hard into the ground amid swirling smoke and impact effects.

Zoro stands tall, three swords drawn, one still sheathed at his side. Massive onomatopoeia "どどんっ!!" shakes the panel as he surveys the scene. A speech bubble reads "HMM, FLAMING SWORDS AREN'T TOO SHABBY EITHER...". "ZORO!" is called out. "CLANK!" sounds as blades settle. In the lower panels Usopp sits up, arms crossed, declaring "THE IMPORTANT THING IS WE'RE STILL ALIVE." Someone off-panel answers "HEY...". Background figures react amid scattered weapons and dust.

Close-ups show Usopp in goggles, sweat flying, muttering "MASTER..." then "FUFU..." and "YES...". The wide panel reveals a towering, masked giant in a fur-collared coat and striped armbands looming over the group. He declares "ONLY 2 ENEMIES LEFT." and "NOW THEN," while gripping several captives. Vivi, Zoro, and others stand tense on the tropical shore lined with palm trees and ruins. A small black creature lies nearby.

A frantic chase erupts through dense jungle foliage. Karoo the duck dashes forward, webbed feet kicking up leaves, yelling "QUACK!" while a voice shouts "BIRD!". Multiple "ガシャッ" impact sounds ring out. A desperate cry follows: "WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY NO MATTER WHAT!". The final panel zooms on Usopp's furious face, sweat streaming, as he growls "ISN'T WHAT A REAL MAN DOES!" and "RUINING A DUEL,".

Luffy stares up at a massive laughing helmeted figure as a wild "FUHA-HAHAHA!" rings out. Below in the jungle clearing, dozens of figures marked with 3 stand among the trees and ruins. A tall man in a striped outfit and topknot crosses his arms and declares, "SO YOU'RE FINALLY HERE." He spreads his arms wide and announces, "WELCOME TO MY DORU DORU MANSION!" Luffy, back to the viewer, mutters in shock, "WHAT'S THIS...!I"

Mr. 3 grins and taunts, "WHERE THE REAL ME IS, I WONDER...I" while another agent asks, "CAN YOU FIGURE OUT," as multiple identical figures appear. Luffy's helmeted companion sweats nervously. Mr. 3 continues, "IT SEEMS YOU'VE MET THE WRONG MATCH." Luffy laughs loudly, "FUHAHA-HAHA!" In the wide jungle view, the striped man boasts, "WE ARE BAROQUE WORK'S MOST CUNNING DUO!" while gesturing toward Luffy and adding, "A SIMPLE-MINDED IDIOT WHO ONLY RELIES ON INSTINCT AND BRUTE-FORCE, WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CATCH US..."

Mr. 3 laughs triumphantly, "FUHAHAHAHA! SO STEP RIGHT IN!" and declares, "I AM MR. 3...! I CARRY OUT ALL THE MISSIONS ASSIGNED TO ME TO PERFECTION..." In the clearing he points and threatens, "THE INSTANT YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON ME... I'LL STAB YOUR HEART WITH A SINGLE STRIKE!" Luffy reacts with "GOMU GOMU..." as a blade flashes and a foot is lifted in a sudden strike, the word "GRIN..." visible near Mr. 3's face.

A massive impact erupts with "WHAB-LARGH!" and "STAMP!" as Luffy is sent flying. In the aftermath, Luffy lies crumpled on the ground with "H!!..." and "KNOW..." visible. A small panel shows him weakly saying "DID YOU... KNOW... HOW..." Mr. 3 stares in shock, sweat flying, as the word "A" appears beside his surprised face.

A massive impact shakes the jungle as Luffy is sent flying backward through the air amid flying debris and palm trees. "INSTINCT." Luffy's intense close-up fills the frame, eyes wide and focused as he utters the word. Below, Usopp screams in terror, "KYAAAAAAA!" while a large frog-like creature with wide eyes yells "QUACK!" In the background, the same frog creature hops away through the trees as a small figure sneaks through the foliage. "QUACK" and "SNEAK SNEAK..." echo through the scene.

Sanji sits at a checkered table in the jungle clearing, sipping tea from a cup as steam rises. "NAMI AND THE OTHERS MIGHT BE WAITING FOR ME TO RESCUE THEM!" he declares with a start. "AH! WAIT A SECOND...! NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR ME TO BE FASHIONABLY ENJOYING TEA!" A large "どーん" sound effect rumbles. Sanji's Den Den Mushi begins ringing "PURURURURU..." repeatedly. He glances at it with a question mark, cigarette in mouth, muttering "HUHI" and "AH, DAMN IT. I WONDER WHY THERE'S A NICE RELAXING RETREAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS JUNGLEI"

Sanji answers the ringing Den Den Mushi. "HELLO, THIS IS THE SHITTY RESTAURANT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A RESERVATIONI" On the other end, Mr. 3's voice replies through the snail, "OH, IT'S A DENDEN-MUSHI!" while holding a striped Den Den Mushi marked "Mr. 3". The snail continues "PURURURURU..." Sanji is yanked backward by a rope around his neck. "UHH... AND WHOM MIGHT THIS BEI REPORTS...I" Mr. 3 warns, "AREN'T YOU A LITTLE LATE WITH YOUR REPORTS...I DON'T PLAY AROUND, YOU IMBECILE." A massive impact "ゴォォォ..." erupts as a dark silhouette looms. "MR. O..." "IT'S ME." The page ends with "14 INSTINCT (END)".
