The title page displays the chapter heading "Chapter 275: 'DIVINE COMEDY'". Below the framed panel, text reads "ACE'S HUNT FOR BLACKBEARD, VOL. 3: 'SEEKING INFORMATION'". In a bustling port town street, Portgas D. Ace stands with his back partially turned, wearing his signature hat and open shirt showing "ACE" tattooed on his arm. He gestures while speaking to two companions: a large, muscular man with a thick beard carrying an enormous fish over his shoulder, arms crossed, and an older man with a turban and striped shirt holding a small box. In the background, a tiny figure tumbles down stone stairs with a loud crash, smoke rising. Seagulls fly overhead under a cloudy sky with distant buildings and a docked ship visible.

A close-up shows a bandaged man with a head wrap and beaded necklace, his face calm as a large hand reaches toward spinning circular weapons in the air. Below, a woman with short dark hair and an elaborate tattoo covering her back leaps through the air amid smoke and debris, one leg extended in a powerful kick. In three smaller panels, a scarred man with an earring grips a weapon and exclaims "...!!", a spiky-haired man glares intensely, and a young woman with pigtails and a headband cries out in shock, "NO..." while reaching forward.

A dynamic fight erupts as the tattooed woman is struck from behind by a massive sword swing, the impact marked "FWAP" with motion lines and debris flying. The scarred man stares with a fierce expression, declaring "SHE'S A WOMAN...". In the next panel, the woman lies on the ground after being thrown, marked "PORYUN". A close-up shows the bandaged man's foot stepping forward. Finally, the bandaged man smiles slightly with eyes half-closed and states "I NOTICED.", while another speech bubble shows "...".

The battle intensifies with rapid strikes: hands gripping a weapon marked "FWUP FWUP", followed by a massive impact "SHING!!!" and a star-shaped clash. The tattooed woman is sent flying backward with motion lines and "!!!". The scarred man, now shirtless and gripping a weapon, shouts "YOU REALLY ARE INSANE!!!" with "SWAP" effects. The bandaged man smiles confidently and replies "NICE STRONG ARMS." while another voice says "HM..." and "...".

A fierce aerial clash erupts as a warrior in polka-dot pants and a feathered cloak swings a long staff downward with a loud "SHAWUP!" while a spiky-haired fighter below lunges forward with twin blades. The impact sends shockwaves across the panel. In the lower sequence, a masked gunner with a massive cannon yells "BURN BAZOOKA"!!! as a blinding flash erupts from the barrel. Nearby, another fighter with a huge bazooka-like weapon reacts with "YAHA HAHA..." while a small winged figure is sent flying by the blast marked "ジャキンッ!!" and a startled "!" escapes the gunner.

The massive explosion erupts violently with the onomatopoeia "ドゴゴゴゴ" and a huge "SWASH!" impact. A small winged figure is hurled through the smoke as the text "KALI**!!!" appears with a footnote explaining "* KALI MEANS FLASH". Below, the long-haired gunner stares in shock, muttering "...THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE..." and "HE DEFLECTED THE BAZOOKA'S BLAST...!!" as the blast is sent back. The attacker laughs triumphantly "YAMAHAHA!!" while the defender grunts "UNGH..." and "UGH!!!" from the recoil.

Enel towers with his drums of thunder, declaring "IS USELESS AGAINST ME. YOU STILL DON'T GET ITI THE PATHETIC TRICKLE OF POWER YOU WIELD". A woman with a ponytail and a girl with a braid watch in awe; the girl exclaims "SUCH AN UNBELIEVABLE POWER. A MAN WHO CAN CONTROL LIGHTNING...!!!" while distant thunder rumbles and the narration notes the heated air expanding faster than sound. Below, a battered Zoro glares and demands "WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO INVITEI WHY DID YOU SUDDENLY START ATTACKING MEI" Enel replies calmly, "I WAS SIMPLY INVITING YOU TO COME TO FAIRY VEARTH..."

Enel continues his assault with a massive spinning kick marked "ミシャッ!!" while laughing "YA-HAHA." and declaring "WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN THAT DREAM WORLD OF YOURS!" Zoro is sent flying. In the next panels Enel smirks and states "ON WHAT A GOD IS!! IT SEEMS THAT YOU NEED TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON..." as Nami desperately shouts "NO, ZORO!! YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM!!" Zoro grits his teeth, gripping his swords tightly.

A fierce close-quarters clash erupts as the towering, shirtless warrior with four massive drum-like weapons on his back presses his attack. He declares, "Hopelessness feels like... I will use my overwhelming strength to teach you what no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to win." The opponent, a swordsman with spiky hair, grits his teeth and retorts with strained effort, "...!!!" The warrior continues, "Are two strangely similar things... losing all hope and dying," while the swordsman gasps, "NGH..." In a sudden reversal the swordsman lunges forward with both blades, forcing the larger man back. The warrior cries out in shock, "AH!I" as the blades connect, sending debris flying. The final wide panel shows the warrior recoiling violently, arms flung wide, mouth open in a roar of pain, "WAAAH!!" while the swordsman drives both swords into his torso.

The battle rages amid ruined stone structures. The warrior looms over the fallen swordsman and proclaims, "Death is the most terrifying thing!!! For mortal men..." A voice off-panel shouts, "ZORO!!!" The warrior continues, "That's why when men pray to God, they kneel down and bury their heads to the ground!!" The swordsman struggles on the ground, bloodied, gasping, "ACK!!!" and "How can he be so strong!I" while the warrior explains, "Men beg when they are terrified. It's in their nature." In the background, a long-haired woman watches the devastation with wide eyes. The ruined cityscape stretches behind them, filled with collapsed towers and rubble.

A massive golden staff-like weapon hurtles through the air with the sound effect "ドチ+". The warrior, now gripping the weapon, slams it into the swordsman, sending him flying amid impact lines "ドーン!!!" The long-haired woman reacts with shock, "EHI" In the next panels the swordsman lies dazed on the ground, muttering, "YORO... WHA-..." while the warrior stands over him. A close-up shows the warrior's stern face as he asks, "What are you doing...I Committing suicide...I" The woman watches in horror from the side.

A dramatic close-up reveals the warrior's intense face, sweat flying, as he demands, "What Kairoseki is, Enel!!!I Do you know" and answers his own question, "And it's draining your devil fruit powers. I added some to my shooter." Below, the swordsman is shown on the ground, struggling as the warrior explains, "Kairoseki... that's the stone used to seal devil fruit powers...!!!" The swordsman gasps, "My strength is being... drained," with the sound "ガラキン" as his swords clatter. The final panel shows the warrior standing tall over the defeated swordsman amid swirling dust and debris.

A helmeted warrior with wide eyes and sweat flying shouts desperately in the upper panels, "SHUT UP!! I'LL BE HAPPY TO DIE" and "DON'T DO IT!!!" while another voice counters, "DON'T YOU WANT TO LIVE!I I KNOW YOU JUST WANT VEARTH...!" and "YOU'RE TRYING TO USE 'REJECT'I YOUR BODY CAN'T TAKE IT!!" A third voice yells "EAT THIS!!" The warrior pleads, "IF I CAN TAKE YOU WITH ME...!!!" In a massive splash panel the armored, bandaged fighter with a spiked weapon and wing-like attachments unleashes a devastating blast marked "REJECT"!!! as impact lines, debris, and motion effects erupt around the struggling figures. A shocked "!!I" reaction bursts from below.

A colossal explosion rocks the ancient ruins of Shandora as massive kanji sound effects "ボゴォォ..." and "×キ×キ×キ..." fill the sky above the crumbling pyramid and broken stone structures. Smoke and debris cloud the devastated city. Below, close-up panels show battered survivors: a bloodied man lying among plants, a woman with closed eyes, and a bearded man whose mouth moves as narration circles declare "TRUTH IN THE HEART..." "WE ARE THOSE WHO RECORD HISTORY." and "AND THE MOUTH SEALED..."

In a quiet Shandian village of thatched huts and totem poles, a young woman with short black hair and a serious expression listens as voices discuss the past: "YES... WE DID." "DID WE WINI" "WAS WHAT THE WARRIORS OF SHANDORA TRIED TO PROTECT FROM THE INVADERS WHO SOUGHT IT. 800 YEARS AGO, THAT STONE TABLET. PONoglyphI" She replies softly, "THAT WAS THE WILL OF OUR ANCESTOR..." while others continue, "THAT THEY WOULD QUIETLY GUARD THE CITY RUINS AND THE PONoglyph..." "THE SURVIVORS DECIDED" "BUT WE LOST MANY GREAT MEN IN THE PROCESS." In the lower panel a large man in a hat roars, "WAS BRUTALLY TAKEN AWAY!!" as a straw-hatted man, a headband-wearing fighter, and a small winged figure with goggles react with tense expressions. The group debates how the island was stolen and flown up to Skypiea.
The Shandian chief, seated on a drum-like throne in striped robes and headdress, speaks gravely to the gathered warriors: "THE PROUD FLAME OF SHANDORA SHALL NEVER BE PUT OUT." "EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE SKY NOW," "BUT IT'S ALSO A PLACE WHICH HOLDS A HISTORY LOST IN THE DARKNESS..." "THAT'S RIGHT, UPPER YARD IS OUR HOMELAND..." A small "..." floats near the young listeners. The scene shifts to a fierce battle in the forest where Shandian fighters charge with weapons raised amid motion lines and cries of "アアア..." as one declares "RESTORE THE FLAME... OF SHANDORA!!!" The final wide panel shows the distant view of the ruined city under clouds with a lone speech bubble "..."
A fallen figure lies motionless on the ground with mouth open and eyes unseen. Nami stares in horror, sweat flying. A close-up shows a gloved hand trembling with heavy breaths: "HAA..." "HAA..." In the ruined cityscape, Nami stands over two bodies and shouts, "DEAD...!I IS HE..." A massive impact erupts as a towering, muscular warrior with a massive weapon rises amid swirling clouds and debris. Enormous black sound effects "ドン!!" and "バン!!" explode across the page while the defeated body lies crushed beneath a massive wing-like shape.
Nami cries out "STRANGE KNIGHT...!!" as she spots a cloaked figure standing amid rubble. Robin appears nearby, calling "ROBIN...!!" while a sweating, wide-eyed man gasps "HAA... HAA..." with Japanese SFX "グッ" and "ドキ". A sudden massive explosion erupts from the ground with "!!I" and flying debris. Close-ups show shocked faces: a masked man with "KZUM" sound effects, a cigarette-smoking man labeled "KZUM", and Nami reacting with "AH..." as impact lines and dust fill the air.

Explosions continue with repeated "KZUM" effects as the massive wing-like form thrashes. A cloaked figure stands watching. The masked man sweats heavily, saying "... HE RESTARTED HIS OWN HEART..." while impact sounds "バチ バチ" and "イイイ" ring out. Nami covers her mouth in shock. A full-page close-up reveals Enel with a calm, eerie smile, declaring "THAT 'GOD' INCARNATES. IT'S THE 'TERROR'..." as he holds a staff. Large black SFX "ドン!!" frame the panel. The page ends with "29 VOLUME 29 (END)".
