AGENTS OF DARKNESS

A furious man with a pompadour hairstyle, sunglasses, and a bare chest covered in tattoos leans forward, shouting "STRAW HAT!!!" and "WHERE ARE YOU~~~~I". In the next panel, two women in revealing outfits labeled "TEK KO" stand on either side of the same man, who now stands with arms outstretched. One woman says, "IT CAN'T BE HELPED... BIG BRO... THEY'VE PISSED OFF EVERYONE ON THIS ISLAND... THEY MUST BE HIDING OUT RIGHT NOW." The other adds, "WHY ISN'T HE COMING OUT!I I THOUGHT HE HAD GUTS!" and "I THOUGHT HE HAD GUTS!". The man growls "FUUUF!!". In the bottom panels, the man glares while a woman with short black hair complains, "SHUT UP! I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS ALL WEEK!" and "BIG BRO, YOU'RE GETTING SO VIOLENT TODAY! THAT'S SO UNLIKE YOU!!" Two other men react with surprise, one asking "ARE YOU TWO DOING!I" and another noting "...BY THE WAY... WHAT THE HELL...".

A long-haired man with a headband reacts with "HUHI" and an exclamation mark as distant voices call "BIG BRO ~~~" and "BIG... BRO ~~~~". In a wide view of a multi-level town square, the pompadour man stands surrounded by a crowd. Speech bubbles report: "WHAT!I THEY ESCAPED FROM ANGRY BIG BRO!! THEY SURE GOT LUCKY...", "THEY ESCAPED...", "NO, SOME PEOPLE GOT IN THE WAY...", and "DID YOU BEAT THEM UP GOOD FOR US!I". In the lower section, the long-haired man asks "YOU SAW ONE OF THEM...I" while background figures discuss "ON THEIR WAY..." and "Y... YES...". Another panel shows the pompadour man surprised as someone explains, "SO WE THOUGHT THAT BIG BRO ALREADY TOOK CARE OF THE OTHERS..." and "WE SAW THAT WORTHLESS LONG NOSE GUY FIXING THE SHIP ALONE...".

The pompadour man grins widely with an evil expression, thinking "THAT MAKES THINGS EASIER... WE CAN USE THAT GUY... TO LURE OUT THE OTHERS!!" while background figures react with shock and Japanese sound effects. Nearby dialogue recalls, "...YELLING 'WE GOT THE LONG NOSE GUY!! IF YOU DON'T WANT US TO FEED HIM TO THE FISHES...' COME TO THE WAREHOUSE UNDER THE BRIDGE AND SEE FRANKY!". The man orders, "OKAY, ALL OF YOU... START GOING AROUND TOWN...". His subordinates cheer "WE GOT IT, BIG BRO!! LEAVE IT TO US!!" and "YEAH!!!" while raising fists. In the final panel the man smiles confidently and declares, "THEN, WE'LL SET UP A TRAP FOR THEM HERE...".

Galley-La Company headquarters stands heavily fortified as massive sound effects echo across the scene. Guards shout warnings: "IF WE LET ANYONE GET THROUGH... THE PRIDE OF GALLEY-LA WILL BE DESTROYED!!" and "KEEP YOUR GUARD UP!" Armed workers line the front of the stone building. In closer panels, a scarred man with a weapon growls "....." while another reassures, "DON'T WORRY! WE'VE SURROUNDED THE PLACE. NOT EVEN A FLY CAN GET THROUGH!!" A third asks, "HOW'S IT LOOK IN THE BACKI" Below, more workers declare, "YES... THOSE MECHANICS COULD PIN ANY PIRATE TO THE GROUND..." and "THEY LOOK SO STRONG!!" A small creature with large eyes and a top hat thinks, "EVERYONE HAS A WEAPON..."

Zoro stands with arms crossed, instructing, "TELL ME AS SOON AS YOU SEE THEM MAKE A MOVE..." Chopper replies, "OKAY!" while Luffy sits nearby wondering, "I WONDER WHO TRIED TO GET THROUGH EARLIER...!I" and adding, "IT'LL BE VERY BAD IF SOMEONE JUST BARGES IN THERE RECKLESSLY..." Nami appears with a serious expression. Zoro continues, "I DON'T THINK WE'LL EVER GET A SECOND CHANCE TO FIND ROBIN...!" and "WE'LL PROBABLY NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT, BUT DON'T LOSE YOUR CONCENTRATION. IF WE DON'T CATCH HER TONIGHT..." Large sound effects rumble as Nami, Chopper, and Luffy react with determination. Luffy clenches his fist and declares, "I'LL DEFINITELY CATCH HER!!!"

Clock ticks echo through Galley-La headquarters with repeated "TICK TOCK" sounds and impact effects. Inside an ornate room, a figure on a large bed responds, "YES, ICEBERG-SANI" Kalifa stands nearby and says, "KARIFA..." In the next scene, Iceberg instructs from the doorway, "TELL PAULIE TO COME IN HERE ON YOUR WAY OUT..." Kalifa answers, "UNDERSTOOD." Iceberg then tells her, "CAN YOU LEAVE THE ROOM FOR A WHILEI"

Paulie reacts with surprise, "HUHI" as he is called, "PAULIE..." In the waiting area, several Galley-La men sit on benches. Iceberg addresses Kalifa directly: "YES, JUST YOU. I'M GOING TO THE SECRETARY'S ROOM. TELL ME IF ANYTHING HAPPENS." Kalifa turns to a seated man and says, "ICEBERG-SAN HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU." The man asks, "TO MEI" Nearby workers whisper, "IT MUST BE IMPORTANT... YOU SHOULD GO IN THERE QUICK." and "TO ASK FOR A PRIVATE CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW..." One wonders, "I WONDER WHAT IT'S ABOUT..." while another exclaims, "HE'S GOING TO SAY HIS LAST WORDS!!I" and "WE'LL MOVE AWAY FROM THE DOOR."

Inside a dimly lit room, a figure with a large "1" on their back stands facing an ornate barred window as a metallic "KACHA" echoes. A person lies in bed in the background. A large X crosses out a scene of two figures conversing in another room. In close-up, a man wearing goggles and a headband speaks firmly, "YEAH..." then "I GOT IT." The scene shifts to a group of men gathered outside a building under an arched ceiling; one wears a top hat while others stand with crossed arms, watching intently.

The man in bed addresses the goggled figure: "AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION, YOU ARE THE BEST MAN FOR THIS JOB. THERE MAY BE A LOT OF DANGER IN THIS TASK... WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS TASKI" The goggled man replies with intensity, "PLEASE, BE CAREFUL. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SO POLITE. JUST LEAVE IT TO ME!!" The man in bed responds, "OKAY." The goggled man turns and walks out the door, declaring, "I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT NOW," as a "+チチ+" sound effect appears.

Outside the door, the goggled man tells the waiting group, "YEAH, HAVE TO DO SOME STUFF. I NEED TO LEAVE FOR A LITTLE BIT." A voice asks, "COO-FINISHED TALKINGI" A close-up shows the goggled man looking aside with sweat drops and "チチ チチ..." sounds. An injured man in bed is shown with "CHUU CHUU" as another panel reveals a mustached man in a white coat stating, "THAT'S FINE. THE FOUR OF US SHOULD BE ENOUGH." The page ends with dramatic shots of a massive structure, a horned figure, and a ticking clock marked "TICK TOCK."

In a long hallway, a figure approaches a door with "KACHYA..." The goggled man examines a hidden panel beneath the floor under the president's room, exclaiming, "THERE'S A SAFE HIDDEN THERE... THERE IT IS..." A distant figure stands in the doorway. He turns a dial while muttering, "TURN RIGHT... TO... SIX... BE SURE TO REMEMBER THE COMBINATION..." with "KATA KATA" sounds. Below, the mustached man and others react near a large building marked "GALLEY-LA COMPANY" as dramatic sound effects fill the air.

From a high vantage, small figures shout "KATSA" as one asks, "IS EVERYONE READYI" Below, a large bear-masked figure in a checkered cloak stands beside a hooded masked woman. The bear-masked one asks, "ROBIN... ARE YOU READYI" The woman replies, "YES..." The bear-masked figure continues, "THEN I'M GOING TO STIR THINGS UP... THE FOUR OF YOU..." and instructs, "PROCEED AS PLANNED WHEN YOU GET MY SIGNAL." A distant sound effect reads "BURU BURU RU RU..." as the scene overlooks a grand building.

An explosion rocks the building. Luffy yells, "AH!! SOMETHING EXPLODED!!" as debris flies and people scream "WAA AAH!!" and "!!!" Onlookers cry, "HALF OF US ARE DOWN...!! BUT WE DON'T SEE THE ENEMY ANYWHERE!" and "THE NORTH END OF FIRST FLOOR. IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT!I" Inside a room, a figure reacts with "CHUU CHUU" as another asks, "WHAT'S THAT EXPLOSION ABOUT!!I" A large man with goggles shouts, "ICEBERG-SAN!! ARE YOU OKAY!I" while the masked woman states, "IT JUST STARTLED ME A BIT..." and "THAT'S A STYLISH SIGNAL..." Someone suggests, "LET'S GO!" amid confusion over whether it was a bomb or cannon fire.

Chaos erupts as voices shout, "WHATI HE'S MINE!" "HEY... WAIT, YOU TWO...!" "WUOOOOO!! LEAVE IT TO ME!!!" "HE'S WEARING A MASK! CATCH HIM!!" and "DID YOU SEE THAT!!!" Someone notes, "SOMEONE CAMEI" In a quiet hall, two seated figures remain silent with "....." and "COO-" while a long-nosed man in a cap reacts with "GEEZE..." and sound effects "ﾊﾊ" and "ﾋﾞｷﾞ..." A stern man with a headband stands silently. The masked woman commands, "CATCH HIM!! HE'S JUST ONE PERSON!!" as the bear-masked figure leaps into action with dramatic flair.

The bear-masked figure swings a whip with "AI" and "SU~" as the masked woman declares, "DID YOU THINK THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE... ANYONE ON THE ROOFI" The whip strikes with "ｼｭｯ" and impact sounds "ｼｬｷｨｨｨ!!" A mustached man questions the scene. Below, the bear-masked figure lands dramatically. The long-nosed man in the cap retorts, "YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME..." while the masked woman insists, "JUST GIVE IT UP..."

In the burning streets of the city, chaos erupts as pursuers yell "DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!" and "TWO MORE OVER THERE!!" Massive explosions shake the buildings with loud "ドカン!!" and "ドカッ!!" SFX. A hooded figure in a white cloak and black mask stands calmly and answers "YES..." A round-faced character with large eyes asks "NICO ROBINI DO YOU REMEMBER THE BLUEPRINTS OF THE HOUSE," In the next moment a spiky-haired man with a weapon screams "AAH!!!" while a small figure in a top hat and goggles reacts with "EHI! WHERE'S LUFFYI" A distant voice wails "WUAA AAH---" as another observer states "IT'S IN CHAOS..."

A horned skull-masked figure laughs "HOHO." and exclaims "AH! IS THAT WHAT MR. ICEBERG WAS HIDINGI" Nearby, a goggled man in overalls examines a cylindrical object and declares "THE THING THAT ICEBERG-SAN TALKED ABOUT... THIS MUST BE IT." with a loud "GASAN" sound as he opens the case. In a grand hall a long-haired goggled man growls "YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND ITS VALUE!!!" while two cloaked figures walk away through an open doorway. A voice warns "BETTER HAND IT OVER..." as the long-haired man reacts with shock "!!!!I"
