The color cover of One Piece Volume 28 features Monkey D. Luffy at the center with his straw hat, tongue out, and a wide grin. Surrounding him are Nico Robin, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Tony Tony Chopper, and several Skypiea characters including Wiper seated in the foreground gripping a massive weapon, along with Gan Fall, Conis, and others. The title reads ONE PIECE in large stylized letters with the skull logo. Japanese text at the bottom states 巻二十八「戦鬼」ワイパー尾田栄一郎 EIICHIRO ODA.

The chapter title page displays "Chapter 256: 'WAR DEMON WAIPA'" at the top. Below is a large splash panel showing a chaotic city scene with cheering crowds. Wapol stands center stage in a fur-lined coat and bow tie, looking furious with sweat drops and clenched teeth. A man in a black suit and slicked-back hair grins while holding a microphone toward Wapol. A small robotic penguin-like creature and a striped bomb-like device sit at Wapol's feet. A small dog-like creature with big eyes stands nearby. A large question mark speech bubble floats above the crowd. The caption at the bottom reads: WAPOL'S SNACK BANSAI VOL. 18: HEADLINE NEWS! THE NEW WAPOL STEEL!

Wapol

In the upper right panel, a radiant circular burst contains the words "YOU, AGAIN!". The upper left shows a tense confrontation: someone shouts "STOP, WAIPA! GAN FALL IS HERE TO TALK!" while another voice yells "GO HOME, OLD MAN!!" and "THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO TALK ABOUT!!" with a large "GWAP!!" impact sound. The large lower panel focuses on Waipa, a muscular Shandia warrior with a headband, spiky hair, cigarette, and tribal tattoos, glaring angrily. He declares "WE WON'T ACCEPT THE PITIFUL PLEADING FOR ALLIANCE FROM YOU OLD MEN." A voice from the side retorts "OUTTA THE WAY, CHIEFTAIN!!!" Other Shandia warriors stand behind him, one saying "LISTEN UP, GAN FALL, WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE UP!!" A black flag with a white cross is visible in the background.

Waipa

Waipa roars in close-up: "DID YOU FORGET THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE TO OUR PEOPLE IN THE PAST!!!I NOW YOU WANT TO 'CO-EXIST'!!!I" and "YOU SAY FIGHTING IS MEANINGLESS; RETURN EVERYTHING TO US!!!" Gan Fall, an elderly man with long hair and a stern expression, responds calmly: "EVERYONE IS GRATEFUL FOR THE LAND. I SHALL NOT PUNISH THESE INNOCENT CITIZENS BY TAKING AWAY THAT VERY LAND... UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT RETURN EVERYTHING TO YOU. THE VEARTH FROM UPPER YARD HAS ALREADY BECOME AN ESSENTIAL PART OF SKYPIEA." In the bottom panel Waipa continues arguing with his back partially turned, gesturing toward a group of robed figures under a canopy. A warrior shouts "YOU WANT TO MAKE ALL THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE MILITARY INVOLVED, TOO!!I" Gan Fall replies "THAT MAY HAVE BEEN TRUE IF THERE WEREN'T A WAR GOING ON!!" and "THE CITIZENS OF THE SKY... INNOCENT...!!!I" Another figure states "NONSENSE! THAT IS FOOLISH."

WaipaGan Fall

A fierce close-up shows Waipa and another warrior clashing foreheads in rage. Waipa snarls, "I CANNOT DO SUCH A THING!!!" The other retorts, "IF YOU WANT PEACE, YOU MUST PAY!! GIVE US THE HEADS OF 100 'INNOCENT' PEOPLE AS SACRIFICE!!" Below, Shandia warriors stand tense as one shouts, "GET OUT OF HERE! UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR HEAD HERE AND NOW!!" Another declares, "IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN THIS MEETING IS OVER!!" Waipa, headband and beads visible, growls through clenched teeth, "... DON'T YOU DARE CALL MY NAME LIKE THAT..." An elder with a long beard warns, "WAIT, WAIPA...!!!" Waipa hesitates, "I..."

WaipaShandia elderShandia warriors

Close-ups capture intense faces: a dark-skinned warrior with a headband growls with SFX "グギャ", while the bearded elder mutters "PUMPKIN JUICE!!!" and "LOVE..." The scene erupts into chaos as warriors charge. Voices yell, "KAMA-KIRI!! HEY, YOU!!! STOP WAIPA!! HURRY!!" "BRA-HAM!" "HOLD ON, WAIPA!!" A massive attack SFX "ねあああああ" rings out as someone screams, "I'LL KILL YOU!!" In a village hut, a woman explains, "YES... WHENEVER SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS IN THE VILLAGE... SHE ALWAYS STARTS TO CRY..." Aisa cries loudly while another tends to her, and a young woman with pigtails watches with concern as SFX "WA AAH" and sweat drops appear.

WaipaAisaBrahamKamakiriShandia villagers

The young woman with long black hair reflects, "I DON'T KNOW... HE'S ALWAYS IN THE CENTER OF TROUBLE BUT... WHY WAIPAI BECAUSE OF WAIPA...I" She continues, "BECAUSE HE'S... LIKE A DEMON." In the background, Waipa fights fiercely with a spear amid flying debris and warriors. She adds, "ACTUALLY, I'M AFRAID OF HIM..." The view shifts to a distant forested island where figures gather on the shore. She murmurs, "AH..." as motion lines and SFX "ハッ" and "ククク.." appear.

AisaWaipaShandia warriors

Aisa screams desperately, "WAIPA!!!" with tears flying. On the beach, a black bag labeled "THE BAG OF VEARTH!!!" lies amid debris. A cloaked figure with wings gestures, "WE SHALL NOT LET THIS CHANCE ESCAPE!!! THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER CHANCE LIKE THIS!!!" Another warns, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO AISA'S TREASURE...I" as Braham reacts with shock. From the trees, a voice challenges, "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, WAIPAI WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN READY..." An unseen speaker states, "ANYONE WHO IS NOT READY CAN STAY HERE. I WON'T BLAME THEM..."

AisaWaipaBrahamShandia warriors

A winged warrior hovers in the sky above the clouds, glaring down with intensity. "...YOUR FALLEN COMRADES IN BATTLEI ARE YOU READY TO LEAVE BEHIND..." A shocked "!!I" erupts nearby. Below, a group of Shandian warriors and priests stand ready among the trees. One bald fighter with goggles declares, "ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU COME WITH ME!!" Another voice warns, "IF YOU ARE READY TO STEP ON YOUR COMRADES..." The panel erupts with tension as the warriors prepare to advance. In a dramatic close-up, a fierce Shandian warrior with a cigar clenched in his teeth and a headband glares forward, declaring, "I'M GOING TO CUT OFF ENEL'S HEAD. BECAUSE TODAY," while motion lines and impact shapes emphasize his resolve.

Winged warriorShandian warriorsWyper

At the God's Shrine, a vast structure rises above the clouds. A calm voice answers, "YES... EVERYONE IS READY. INCLUDING THE 3 PRIESTS AND THEIR TRIALS... HAVE THEY ALL GONE BELOWI" Inside the shrine, figures discuss the situation. "THE INVADERS ARE ONLY COMPOSED OF SHANDIAN WARRIORS... AND A FEW CITIZENS OF THE BLUE SEA... ALONG WITH COMMANDER YAMA AND 50 MEMBERS OF THE GOD'S MILITIA. THAT IS OUR ENTIRE BATTLE FORCE...!! DO WE REALLY NEED TO GO ALL OUTI" Enel lounges on his massive drum seat, arms behind his head, laughing wildly. "YAHAHAHAHA!! THE MORE THE MERRIER, ISN'T IT...I OH AND... YOU UNDERESTIMATE... THE REAL POWER OF SKY COMBATS!!!"

EnelGod's Army membersCommander Yama

Enel continues lounging as a hooded figure stands nearby. "YEAH. IT'LL START REVEALING ITSELF SOON... YAHAHAHAHA... GIVE ME A BANANA." The hooded figure reports, "ALONG WITH 4 CITIZENS OF THE BLUE SEA WHO ENTERED THE FOREST, AND 4 MORE ON THEIR SHIP... NO... THAT SHOULD BE JUST 3. THE OLD MAN CAN'T FIGHT ANYMORE... LET'S SEE... WE HAVE 50 SOLDIERS... 3 PRIESTS. SO INCLUDING ME, WE HAVE 54 FIGHTERS... THERE ARE 20 SHANDIANS COMING HERE..." Enel laughs again, "...YOU TURN EVERYTHING INTO DERISION... AND SOI HEY, YOU! TAKE A GUESS. THE REAL POWERI SO THE TOTAL IS 81 FIGHTERS!! NOW, THIS WILL BE A SURVIVAL GAME. YAHAHAHAHA!! THE QUESTION IS, HOW MANY FIGHTERS WILL REMAIN AFTER THREE HOURSI ANYONE WANT TO GUESSI"

EnelHooded figurePriests

Enel points forward while speaking with the hooded figure and others. "HM... THEN... YOU! TAKE A GUESS. WHATI WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU...I GO WITH THE FLOW... JUST USE YOUR INSTINCT, YOUR INSTINCT." A panicked voice cries, "AH!I ME... I CAN'T... I DON'T HAVE A CLUE..." Enel bursts into laughter, "YOU THINK SO...I SO FIGHTERS...I YAHA HAHAHA...!!!" A bearded man holding a book adds, "BUT THE ENEMIES ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO RIVAL THE PRIESTS, SO AFTER 3 HOURS... THERE WILL PROBABLY BE ABOUT 30 FALLEN FIGHTERS... SO I'LL SAY SO REMAINING. HM... THE 3 PRIESTS WILL SURVIVE, THAT'S FOR SURE... THE MILITIA IS VERY STRONG TOO, SO THEY WON'T FALL EASILY." Enel leans in, "ALRIGHT... I'LL TELL YOU. AFTER 3 HOURS, OUT OF THE 81 FIGHTERS I COUNTED......THEN HOW DOES GOD SEE THIS SITUATION...I — THAT IS AN OPTIMISTIC GUESS. YOU SEEM TO UNDERESTIMATE THE VIOLENCE OF THE UPCOMING BATTLE."

EnelHooded figureBearded man with book

A massive hand looms as a voice declares, "EXACTLY FIVE WILL STILL BE STANDING." A tremendous explosion erupts across the landscape, sending shockwaves and debris flying. In the chaos, winged warriors clash violently. One masked fighter with goggles and feathered attire laughs "HAA." while striking, as another similar figure echoes "HAA." amid flying impacts and motion lines. A large circular emblem and swirling attacks fill the panels as the battle rages on the rocky terrain.

A massive foot stomps down as someone yells "ACK!" and "MY BODY!!!" Nearby, a tall warrior with a staff reacts in shock, shouting "WHATI" and "HM!I" while gripping his weapon. Explosions and impacts "ギシギシ" shake the area. Below, the goggled feathered fighter charges forward with a staff, surrounded by "ビロロロロ...!!!!" effects and scattered warriors. A small creature reacts with "!!I" amid the rocky battlefield.

Amid the rubble, a voice pleads "PLEASE PARDON MY VIOLENT WELCOME..." while another laughs "KUU KA KA KA KA!!!" A Shandian warrior is addressed: "HEY, SHANDIAN! I WAS WAITING FOR YOU! NICE POSES!" Shura appears, striking with "SHURA!!!" The goggled fighter reacts in alarm. Shura sits calmly with his staff, saying "... HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU. QUITE A FEW CHANGES OCCURRED IN UPPER YARD SINCE LAST NIGHT." and "... AAH, YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL ME. I ALREADY KNOW WHAT MY OWN NAME IS. KAHA HAHAHA..."

Shuragoggled feathered fighterShandian warrior

Shura continues, "NOW THAT YOU CAN'T MOVE, YOUR SURVIVAL RATE IS 3%... READY FOR THE TRIAL OF STRINGSI" The goggled fighter exclaims "IT'S STRING CLOUD!" and "ギシギシ..." while noting "IT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE TO BE CAREFUL, NOI" Shura explains, "CORRECT. IN MY TERRITORY, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. THEY ARE SO THIN THAT YOU CAN'T SEE NOR FEEL THEM. BUT IN BUNDLES, THEY CAN STOP THE MOVEMENTS OF THE BIGGEST OF MEN. YOU HAVE BEEN TANGLING INTO THEM EVER SINCE YOU ENTERED THIS ISLAND. EXCEPT ONE!" The fighter realizes "TRIAL!I" as Shura laughs "KAHAHA HAHAHA!!!" and the captive struggles with "FWAP".

Shuragoggled feathered fighter

An explosion erupts as Waipa's face fills a panel, roaring "WAIPA!!" On the giant bird Fuza, a rider shouts "KU KAKA KA KAK!!! DAW!! LET'S GO, FUZA!!" A goggle-wearing warrior warns, "BEWARE!! IT'S A FIRE LANCE!!" Waipa, mounted on Fuza, declares, "NO ONE CAN DEFEAT ME IN AN AERO BATTLE!!" In the massive lower panel Waipa dives with his fire lance extended, the weapon piercing forward as a huge impact "ズッ!!" shakes the scene and an unseen voice reacts "!I"

WaipaFuzagoggle-wearing warrior

A massive impact "ウッしっ!!" lands as the goggle-wearing warrior is struck. He yells, "WHY DID YOU THROW AWAY YOUR WEAPON AND SHIELD!I" and "WHAT A FOOL....!!" Waipa counters, "WRONG!! THIS IS 10 TIMES STRONGER THAN THAT." The warrior questions, "AN 'IMPACT!I' IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN BEAT ME WITH THAT..." as "ZWUSH" sounds. Waipa retorts "STUPID!!! SAY YOUR PRAYERS TO ENEL!" A giant close-up shows the warrior's massive hand technique activating with the word "REJECT"!!!

Waipagoggle-wearing warrior

Waipa is hurled backward through the air by a devastating blow, his body twisting amid flying feathers, debris, and impact lines. His expression shows shock as "!!!" marks the force of the strike, the background filled with swirling smoke and motion effects from the powerful rejection attack.

Waipa

Waipa lies defeated on the ground, goggles cracked and body limp amid scattered feathers. The goggle-wearing warrior stands over the scene, breathing heavily. A wide view shows Waipa rising triumphantly, arms crossed, as two signs appear: "80 fighters remaining..." and "Upper Yard survival game 1 out."
