The chapter title page displays the words "Chapter 259: PIRATE ZORO VS. SOLDIER BRAHAM". Below it is a large framed illustration labeled "Wapol Konzern" at the top. Wapol, wearing a heavy fur-trimmed coat and crown-like hat, stands grinning widely on a raised platform while holding a pointer. Behind him are rows of suited men with stern or serious expressions, some with distinctive hairstyles and facial hair. The bottom caption reads "WAPOL'S SNACK BANZAI VOL. 21: THE CREATION OF WAPOL CORPORATION".

In a dense jungle, sound effects "カサ カサカサ..." rustle through tall grass at the top. A small inset shows "ビィ... ビィーン!!" near rocky terrain. Zoro stands with his back to the viewer, three swords drawn, facing a distant cloaked figure walking among massive tree roots and foliage. Motion lines and "ザザザ..." mark the tense standoff as Zoro grips his blades tightly.
Roronoa Zoro
02
Braham, a winged warrior in tribal attire, fires a large gun with a massive "ズガァ...ン" blast and smoke. Multiple panels show close-ups of Zoro's focused eyes and head as he reacts with "ア...". The gun barrel emits "ズゴ" and "ウッ!!!". Braham is sent flying backward with "ONWAKUSHI!!" as other winged figures tumble. Zoro stands ready with swords drawn, a "!!!" reaction bubble near him.
Roronoa ZoroBraham
03
Zoro's face shows intense focus with the thought "HOW DID HE MANAGE TO JUMP WITHOUT PREPARATION!I". Braham is struck hard, yelling "UNGH!!!" and "ZA ZA ZAM!!" as his gun and body are sent flying amid impact lines and debris. Zoro crouches, thinking "THERE IS THAT DAMN GUN THAT SHOOTS FLASHING LIGHTS!! NOW I CAN'T EVEN GRASP HIS POSITION!!!" and "WHERE DID HE GOI". Additional narration reads "THAT ROLLER-BLADE THING IS PROBABLY EQUIPPED WITH ONE OF THOSE..." and "IT USES SHARP WIND TO FLOAT..." while noting "USOPP SAID THEY HAVE MANY TYPES OF WAVERS."
Roronoa ZoroBraham
04
A powerful kick sends a figure flying backward amid massive impact lines and debris. "WHA...!!" A close-up shows the soldier recoiling in shock, "KOH!!" The gunman levels his weapon and fires point-blank, the muzzle flash erupting as the small target is struck. "THREE KATANAS...I" In the final panel Zoro stands tall, three swords drawn and raised high, the tiger tattoo visible on his chest as he declares, "TIGER..."
ZoroBraham
05
Zoro is launched skyward by a massive explosive force, the impact labeled "HUNT!!!" and "PWOM!!" Below, the soldier charges through the blast zone, blades flashing. "GUO!!!" He swings furiously, shouting "YOU WON'T ESCAPE!!" while Zoro remains airborne amid the continuing shockwaves and debris.
ZoroBraham
06
High above the trees, Zoro is hurled through the air as the soldier watches from a branch, gun ready. "NNNH!!!" The soldier questions the strange flying object: "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS LITTLE THING IS!!I" and muses "AS IF A CRAPPY SWORDSMAN OF THE BLUE SEA... COULD POSSIBLY MATCH ME!" Zoro closes in, blades drawn, and the soldier reacts in surprise, "HUH!!I" and "OH!!I" as Zoro strikes, yelling "MILKY DIAL!"
ZoroBraham
07
The soldier is blasted backward by the Milky Dial attack, crying "GHAA..." A massive eel-like creature bursts from the clouds with a "SHWAAW!!" Zoro plummets straight into its gaping jaws. The soldier stares in disbelief, "AN EEL...!!I" Below, Zoro lands on the creature's back and readies his swords, thinking "IT MIGHT BE WORTH EATING..." and "IF I BARBECUE THIS BABY..."
ZoroBraham
08
The soldier with the winged helmet fires his flash gun at close range. Zoro twists desperately as the blast erupts, shouting "WAH!!" while impact lines and debris fly everywhere. "THAT WAS CLOSE!!!" he yells, sweat flying as he lands hard. The soldier laughs, "SO DUMB!!!" and "HAA... HAA... HAA..." Zoro glares, panting, and thinks, "I GOTTA GET RID OF THAT FLASH GUN FIRST!" He adds, "HE GOT MY LEG...!" and "AS IF IT WASN'T HARD ENOUGH ALREADY!" while gripping his swords. A small panel shows the eel-like creature nearby as Zoro mutters, "...MAYBE I CAN..."
ZoroBraham
09
Braham stands on a rocky ledge and declares, "IT'S OVER! YOUR FLASH GUN IS... POWERLESS AGAINST ME NOW! YOU SHOULD HOLSTER IT!" Zoro, still wearing the goggles, snarls "DAMN IT!!!" as the soldier continues, "HOW UNFORTUNATE! LOOK AT MY GOGGLES! THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE SUNGLASSES TO ME..." Braham lands and says, "YOU SEEM TO DISLIKE MY FLASH GUN!" Zoro, bleeding from the leg, replies, "IT'S JUST A SCRATCH. DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME! I GOT SHOT WHEN I WAS ADMIRING A DAMN EEL. I NEED MORE TRAINING —" Braham answers coldly, "YOUR LEG MUST HURT, BUT DON'T WORRY, I'M GONNA FINISH YOU NOW. THAT'S NORMAL. IT PREVENTS YOU FROM CATCHING THE PERFECT TIME TO CUT. YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE."
ZoroBraham
10
Braham opens fire with rapid shots, "BANG! BANG!" and massive impact SFX "ドン!! ドン!! ドン!!" fill the air. Zoro dodges through the blasts, "HNNG!!" and "FWSSSH!" while a small creature watches. The soldier keeps shooting as Zoro is sent flying backward across the field. Braham calls out, "...TRYING TO RUN AWAY!I" Zoro crashes through plants and debris with a loud "WAAH!!!" as more gunfire echoes.
ZoroBraham
11
Braham explains, "EACH OF THEM CAN THEN BE PURE OR TAINTED...! THEY MAKE UP THE THIRTY-SIX PASSIONS OF LIFE. SIGHT, SOUND, SMELL, TASTE, TOUCH, THOUGHT... THE 6 SENSES ARE SOMETIMES GOOD, EVIL OR NEUTRAL!" Zoro stands ready with swords drawn and retorts, "IN BOTH RANGE AND POWER, MY WEAPON IS SUPERIOR. YOU'VE DONE WELL, BUT... YOU'RE A DEAD MAN! AS OF NOW, YOU MAY HAVE A PISTOL... BUT IT'S A CANNON I'M AIMING AT YOU!" Braham charges and fires again with "KSHIK!!" and "PSHIK!!" while Zoro counters with powerful slashes amid flying debris and impact lines.
ZoroBraham
12
Braham, the goggled soldier, glares furiously from a distance as massive impact lines and debris fill the air. "HAVE I KNOCKED YOU INSANEI WHERE IS ITI" he demands. A huge stylized "ギュオオオオ" sound effect dominates the panel. In close-up, sweat dripping down his face, Braham snarls, "I'M GONNA SHOW YOU. OPEN YOUR EYES WIDE..." Zoro stands firm and counters with a powerful strike. "THIRTY-SIX" one sword style..." he declares as his blade flashes. Braham is sent flying backward by the force, shouting "JOKE ALL YOU WANT!!" while huge impact effects "グオオオ!!" and "STAC!!" erupt around them.
ZoroBraham
13
Braham's massive "POUND CANNON!!!" erupts in a devastating close-range blast of swirling energy and debris that engulfs the area. Zoro is hurled back by the force, eyes wide in shock with a sharp "!!I". Braham's face twists in strain as he grits out "Hッ..." and "SHVI!!" while the cannon's recoil shakes him. The surrounding panels show the cannon's destructive path tearing through the jungle.
ZoroBraham
14
Braham lies sprawled on the ground amid the jungle foliage, groaning "URGH..." and "Hッy...". Zoro stands over him calmly and states, "IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. NO HARD FEELINGS." Braham retorts weakly from the dirt. Zoro continues firmly, "AND I'M NOT THE KIND OF GUY WHO IS GONNA WAIT TILL THAT HAPPENS! BUT YOU WANTED TO ELIMINATE ME... I'M QUITE EXPECTING TO LEAVE THIS JUNGLE ALIVE!!!" as he grips his swords, ready to move on.
ZoroBraham
15
A tall winged figure stands amid ancient ruins as a massive "ゴオオオオオ" sound effect rumbles. Nearby, a small winged child cries out in distress. A black winged silhouette appears with "ドゥォ...!!" effects. The child sobs, "LUFFY, ZORO, ROBIN... I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT DIRECTION I'M GOING ANYMORE..." and asks "WILL I EVER SEE THEM AGAINI" while a small tanuki-like figure reacts nearby. The winged man surveys the ruins and mutters about being alone. A voice wonders, "A RACCOON...I THE RUINS!I ALREADY!!I" as the group stares at the devastated ancient site. "WOW! MAYBE EVERYONE IS ALREADY HERE!" someone exclaims while the winged man crosses his arms and questions if this is heaven.

Explosions and debris fill the air as voices scream in panic. "SANJI!!! GYAAAH—!!! GYAAH—!!!" "SANJI —!!" A massive black shape crashes down amid the rubble. "SANJI!!!" "NOOO!!!" A girl with long hair stares in horror, shouting "....!! HEY!! I DON'T HEAR ANY HEART-BEAT!!! YAHA HAHAHA HAHA!!" Nearby, a battered figure cries "PIEEE!!!" while another yells "SANJI!! AH—!!! SANJI! HANG IN THERE!!!" "OH, NO!!" A close-up reveals a menacing face with gritted teeth and the sound effect "ギロッ!!!" as tension peaks.

In a smoky, ruined area, a large robotic figure looms as a man with a long beard confronts it. "ASSUMING I'M NOT YET HERE TO KILL YOU. THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE!!I" A woman with short hair kneels beside an injured person, remarking "HAHAHA— WHAT AN IDIOT. ATTACKING ME WASN'T A GOOD IDEA..." The bearded man is identified as "FORMER GOD... GAN FALL." Gan Fall smiles and replies "HAH — SUCH A COLD GREETING! ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER FOR 6 YEARS."
