Chapter 250 cover page titled “ORB DRAGON”. A lively crowd of children gathers around oversized toys in front of a stone archway and distant town buildings. A boy in a striped shirt and X-marked cap runs forward while another child with glasses kneels to examine a small mechanical device on the grass. A massive striped cylindrical robot with a single large eye stands at the center, surrounded by armored toy knights and floating balloon-like figures. Smaller kids peek from behind the toys. Caption at bottom reads: “WAPOL’S SNACK Vol. 13 「KIDS ARE DEEPLY ATTRACTED BY THE MAJESTY’S TOYS.」”

A massive impact erupts as a long-haired figure is hurled through the air amid swirling smoke and debris, large Japanese SFX “ドォォォ” dominating the panel. Below, three close-up reaction panels show a wide-eyed boy in a black X-marked hat gasping in shock, a close view of torn fabric and blood, and a goggled man grinning fiercely. The bottom panel depicts a massive explosion ripping through a cliffside, sending a ship tumbling into the sea with “PIEH~~~!!!!” and “SPLASH…!!!”

The goggled man shouts, “HAH…!! TAKE THAT AS ENEL-SAMA’S WRATH!!” The X-hatted boy stares in terror, thinking “THERE ARE SKY SHARKS…!!!” and “I MUST SAVE HIM…!! I MUST SAVE HIM…!!!” while crying “WAH…!! KNIGHT OF THE SKY…!!!” Sky sharks circle the falling ship as “PIEH~~~!!!!” echoes. A wide shot shows winged figures fleeing the collapsing tower labeled “KNIGHT OF THE SKY~~~~!!” The goggled man then faces a striped-armored opponent and declares, “ANIMAL TYPE DEVIL FRUIT… …HEY, AREN’T YOU… YOU FOOL!” with “バァッ…!!!” impact and “GUGBLE” sound effects.

A winged armored warrior on a massive bird clashes midair, saying “…IT IS QUITE A HINDRANCE ISN’T IT…” while the bird cries “KUKA KA KA KA!!!” The goggled man, riding the same bird, notes “~HM… YOU ARE ALSO ANIMAL TYPE…” as “PIEH~~~~~!!!!” continues. Close-ups show the bird’s fierce eye and the goggled man asking, “WON’T YOU GO AFTER YOUR MASTER…I” The bird responds “HUM…” and “CUKA KA KA KA!!” before diving away with motion lines and final impact SFX “ボォン…!!”

In a vast, cavernous forest of massive trees, a tall tower-like structure stands amid the mist. A voice complains, "MAN'S WEAKNESS IS REALLY IRRITATING...!!" Another sighs, "...*SIGH*...SO BORING...." A third warns, "IF THIS PLACE IS BOTTOMLESS YOU MAY HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE..." Below, several figures gulp nervously with "*GULP*" sounds as one states, "THIS ONE HAS A BOTTOM..." and another replies, "HOWEVER,". The scene shifts to a close-up of a winged man wearing goggles and a fur-collared coat. He declares, "NEXT UP...." and asks, "HAVE THOSE THREE ESCAPEES BEEN HUNTED DOWN YETI" while a small "GULP..." escapes nearby.

A long-haired figure in a wide hat laughs wildly with arms raised, "HUHUHU ~!!" and "HUHUHU HUH~!!" while musical notes float around. The view widens dramatically as a massive serpentine dragon with a fierce, horned head bursts forward through clouds of bubbles and debris. It roars, "REST IN PEACE!!!" and "I AM GOD'S PRIEST. YOU CAN NEVER WIN!!" while another voice intones, "THE END IS NEAR...". Below, a figure in a straw hat lies sprawled on the ground amid the chaos.

The long-haired priest reels from shock, eyes wide as he gasps, "TOO MUCH TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES... HEART... CAN'T WITHSTAND...!!" and "...IT'S...IT'S OVER...." while another voice pants, "...HAH...HAH..." and "WOO...". The scene returns to the misty forest where a small boat floats on water surrounded by bubbles. A voice threatens, "DON'T HAVE ANY MORE TRICKS, DO YOU!I" and warns, "YOUR BOAT IS GOING TO EXIT THIS FOREST SOON!!" The priest reappears, declaring, "YOU WILL WANDER AROUND IN THIS FOREST... UNTIL YOU DIE, HUHUHUHUH~!!!" A close-up shows a wide-eyed, sweating young man with a straw hat reacting in alarm, thinking, "~WHEN THAT HAPPENS, YOU'RE COMPLETELY DOOMED!! HUHUHUH~!!!" and hearing, "UNLESS YOU GUYS CAN FLY LIKE BIRDS, YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS PLACE!!"

The priest shouts triumphantly, "BEHOLD THE SURPRISING ORB ILLUSION!!!" and "HUHUH, IT WILL HAPPEN!!" as a massive orb-like projectile launches forward. The young man in the straw hat yells back, "I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!!!" In a powerful splash panel the dragon head surges ahead with the attack name "ORB DRAGON!!" displayed prominently. The young man is struck and sent flying with a loud "WAH!!!" amid impact lines and bubbles.

The massive Orb Dragon looms with its jaws wide open as it explains its deadly nature. "IF YOU TOUCH THE ONES THAT CONTAIN BOMBS, IT'S ALL OVER!! THE EXPLOSION WILL CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION AND ITS HUGE BODY WILL CAUSE A HUMONGOUS EXPLOSION!!" A voice continues, "THE ORB DRAGON IS MADE OF SURPRISE CLOUDS THAT CONTAIN BOMBS AND SURPRISE CLOUDS THAT CONTAIN BLADES!!" From the side, a figure in a wide hat laughs, "HUH-HUHUHUH!! WHICH ONE IS THE FIRE ORBII" Another unseen speaker urges, "PLEASE WAIT AND SEE!!" Luffy clings desperately to the creature's body as it thrashes through the clouds, screaming "WAAAAAAAAH!!" Below, a small figure leaps away shouting, "I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU, LUFFY!!" while impact lines mark "ZOON!" A goggled figure watches from the side, thinking "PERFECT CHANCE...!!" as small "*SNEAK* *SNEAK*" sounds appear near the dragon's underbelly.

Luffy is violently slammed and bitten by the Orb Dragon's massive jaws amid heavy impact lines and "ドドドドドド" sounds. He yells in pain, "GYAAAAAAAH!!!!!!" The dragon continues its assault as Luffy swings on a rope, shouting "KA GU" while the creature counters with "GOO JIN!!" and "てんっ!!" A small figure is sent flying with "AH!!" Luffy then grabs the rope tightly, declaring "SO YOU'RE USING THIS ROPE TO CONTROL IT!!" The goggled figure reacts in shock, "WHAT!I" as the dragon's head twists violently.

Luffy struggles with a furious expression, shouting "WAAAAAHH!!" and "YOU!! GET OVER HERE!!!" while the dragon thrashes, "I CAN'T CONTROL THE DRAGON!!" and "THAT LITTLE BRAT!!!!" A voice cries "EH!!" and "AH!!!....!!" Luffy then swings through the air on the rope, gripping it tightly as the dragon's body stretches far below the clouds. The goggled figure yells, "RELEASE THE GRIP ON THE OTHER HAND~~~~~!!!" with large impact effects "ガビーン!!!" and "アギギギギ" as the rope strains.

The Orb Dragon's jaws clamp down on Luffy in multiple close-up panels. A massive explosion erupts with huge sound effects "ズドドドォーン!!!" and "ドドドドド" as debris and clouds burst outward. A small winged creature flies nearby amid the blast. Below, weapons including an axe and swords lie scattered on the ground with lingering smoke and impact sounds "ゴォォォォォ" and "オォォ" as the aftermath settles across the ruined landscape.

A massive black orb hovers amid swirling energy as a voice wonders, "... WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE IDIOT...!! WAIT. PERHAPS HE WAS ACTUALLY PLANNING TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF!" Nearby, ragged breathing continues, "HAH... HAH... HAH... THAT WAS DANGEROUS...!!" In the chaotic aftermath of the explosion, the orb wielder thinks, "... DAMN... MY TRAINING IS NOT COMPLETE...! HE MESSED UP MY RHYTHM IN AN INSTANT. IF I CAN'T CONCENTRATE JUST BECAUSE OF SMALL THINGS LIKE THAT, I CAN'T USE 'MANTRA'....!" A large impact SFX "ガビーン!!" erupts as the black-haired fighter stares in shock, shouting, "YOU'RE NOT DEAD!!!!" while another voice notes, "AYA... THAT WAS REALLY DANGEROUS."

High in the cloudy ruins, a goggled warrior spots something and exclaims, "FOUND IT...." while panting, "HAH.... HAH....!" He realizes, "WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE THIS EARLIER... WE CAME FROM SUCH A HIGH PLACE, SO THE EXIT MUST BE AT THE SAME HEIGHT!! THAT MUST BE THE EXIT." Worried about the earlier blast, he thinks, "THAT EXPLOSION BACK THERE MAKES ME WORRY. I HOPE THEY'RE OKAY....! NOW THAT I'VE FOUND THE EXIT, IT WON'T MATTER WHERE THE BOAT IS CURRENTLY...!" Below, tangled in roots, a figure yells, "YOU BASTARD....!! LET GO OF ME!!"

Silhouetted against the roots, a figure warns, "DON'T LET THAT MEATBALL MOVE, NO MATTER WHAT..." as another shouts, "DON'T LET GO, LUFFY....!!" A shocked voice cries, "YOU....!!" In the next scene, the long-nosed man in a hat snaps, "NO THANKS TO YOU!! CHECK THE SURROUNDINGS BEFORE YOU DO EXPLOSIVE STUFF LIKE THAT!!!" while Luffy replies, "AH, SANJI. YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!I" Seated calmly with a cigarette, Sanji says, "...I DON'T CARE THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS DAMN TRIAL... BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO HELPLESS LADIES AWAITING MY RESCUE. ~IN OTHER WORDS... ~OH WELL... NOW THEN... MEATBALL MAN... YOU KEPT TALKING ABOUT TRIAL, BUT HONESTLY, WE ARE COMPLETELY INNOCENT." SFX "ゴォォォ" and "ポフ..." punctuate the moment.

Close on the goggled man's face, he thinks, "IS THIS GUY AN IDIOT, TOO~~~~!I" as large text declares "A TRIAL OF LOVE!" and "THIS IS..." with SFX "ギャーン!!" and "!!!!" In the tangled roots, voices shout, "~KIDNAPPING OUR FRIEND, MAKING THE CUTE ANGEL CRY, AND THEN TRYING TO KILL HER!! YOU'RE IN NO PLACE TO CALL US CHEAP. YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT. DAMN YOU....!! LET GO!! YOU'RE REALLY DESPICABLE! THIS IS A 2 ON 1!!!" Luffy grins widely while the long-nosed man panics, "IF YOU CAN'T AVOID IT, THERE'S NO POINT IN MIND READING!! HEHEHEH!!" as a binding SFX "ギュワァァァ!!!" appears. Luffy adds, "IT'S REALLY COOL THAT YOU CAN READ OUR MOVEMENTS BUT".

A masked priest with goggles and wild hair shouts warnings while being grabbed. "YOU BECOME A 1ST CLASS CRIMINAL!!!" "IN THIS COUNTRY, IF YOU ARE JUDGED BY A PRIEST" "HEY, YOU HEAR ME!!I" "STOP!! IDIOTS!! I AM A GOD'S PRIEST!!" "AH!!... YOU IDIOTS!!" "IS THE SAME AS DECLARING WAR WITH THE ALMIGHTY GOD ENEL!!!" "UNDERSTANDINGI ATTACKING ME..." "LET GO OF ME!!" A long-haired man with a cigarette explains calmly, "THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO BRUTALLY, SWIFTLY, AND COMPLETELY DICE THE PEPPER!" "~~~FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WANT TO COOK USING PEPPER," "SHUT YOU MOUTH OR THE FLAVOUR WILL ESCAPE." The masked priest screams in pain as he is struck repeatedly, "PAIN! IT'LL HURT A LOT! STOP~~~~~!!" "STOP~~~~! STOP~~~~~!" "SWIFTLY INTO THE POWDERS!!" "WILL BE RELEASED..." "THAT WAY, THE AMAZING FLAVOR..." "WAH!! STOP IDIOT!!" Impact sounds and motion lines fill the panel as the priest is slammed, "AH!!" "AH..." "AH..."

A massive impact strikes as a powerful kick labeled "CONCASSER"!!!! *CRUSH* lands on the masked priest. The priest's face twists in shock with mouth wide open, eyes bulging, while debris and motion lines explode outward. The attacker’s ornate mask and wild hair are visible mid-strike. Large onomatopoeia "ドンッ" and "!!!!I" emphasize the crushing blow.

SBS Question Corner page. Reader D asks about Buggy's "YARAIDEKA!" before a feast and whether it is a dialect. Oda replies it is Tokyo's old "EDOBEN" dialect meaning "WHAT'RE YOU SAYING!!" or "HOW COULD WE NOT!" Reader D asks about Karoo's voice actor "SOKOTSUYA". Oda confirms it is Hirata Hiroaki who voices Sanji and notes the voice actor name is "SOKOTSUYA", meaning the careless person. A small drawing of Karoo and a decorative SBS logo appear on the page.
