The Great Battle on the Judicial Island

At the massive stone archway of the Main Island Front Gate, a lone figure in a straw hat stands before the towering doors. He calls out politely, "EXCUSE ME..." and follows with "PLEASE LET ME THROUGH." The gate diagram labels the entrance clearly. A stern guard's voice booms from off-panel, "EVEN IF YOU ASK NICELY, NO MEANS NO!!!" In a sudden burst of motion, the guard lunges forward and seizes the intruder by the arm with a bold "GRAB!" The straw-hatted boy is yanked off his feet, his body twisting mid-air as the massive gate mechanism looms behind them. Below, two armored soldiers glare upward, one snarling "DAMN PIRATE!!!" while the other readies his weapon and shouts "PREPARE YOUR-SELF!!" The captured boy looks down at them with a calm, determined expression and replies, "GOT IT. SO..." Sweat drops and motion lines emphasize the tension as the soldiers brace for his next move.

Luffy stretches his arm back with a fierce expression, shouting "GOMU GOMU..." as an armored Marine-like figure recoils with "UGH!!" and "HUH!!I". In the next sequence, Luffy's fist slams forward while he yells "WAH!! SORRY!!" in panic. The massive armored opponent counters with "ALLY ROBO PUNCH!!!" and "ALLY ROBO KICK!!", sending Luffy flying as impact lines and "バキッ!!!" and "ドキンッ!!!" explode across the panels. Luffy's stretched arms flail wildly out of control, striking the armored foe repeatedly. The opponent cries "OO GEH!!!", "OO WAA AAH!", and "WAH!! FORGIVE ME, SIR!!!" while being pummeled. Luffy shouts "I CAN'T CONTROL MY ARMS!!!" as the enemy retorts "WHATII WHAT A DIRTY TRICK!!" amid "GWAH!!!" and swirling debris.

Luffy stands trapped between two Marine soldiers who close in from both sides. One Marine lunges forward with a weapon, shouting, "YOU LEFT YOUR BACK WIDE OPEN!!" while the other yells, "THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" A large impact SFX "ばはっ!!" erupts as the attack lands. In the center, a massive Marine wearing a "MARINE" hat carries Luffy on his shoulders, gripping him tightly. Below, the big Marine is struck hard; he reels back with "トン…!!" and "ぬっ!!!" as a small figure lands a blow. Luffy reacts with surprise, "OH SHI...!" and "AH, AAH..." In the next panel Luffy is seen from behind, launching a powerful kick that sends the Marine flying with a huge impact SFX "ズドォォン!!!!" and the Marine screaming "OO GYAA!!!" amid motion lines and debris.

Two enormous, armored beasts with gaping, toothy maws slam into each other in a violent clash. Impact lines and debris explode outward as one creature recoils. "UMF!!" "GAH!!!" "!!!" echo across the panel. Below, a narrow middle tier shows the aftermath. On the left, a spiky-haired fighter with a wild grin lands hard, body jolting from successive impacts. "THUD" "THUD" "WOO!" "P"" burst around him. On the right, three Marine soldiers in uniform lean forward with shocked expressions, one thrusting an arm out. "YOU...!!!" they shout. The bottom splash erupts into a sweeping horizontal strike: a massive curved blade or weapon arcs through the air, sending a Marine soldier flying backward amid heavy motion lines and debris. The fighter's body twists from the force of the blow as the battle rages on.

Luffy spins violently through the air in a powerful rotating attack, his straw hat and limbs blurring with speed as impact stars and motion lines explode around him. A voice shouts "BU HA!!" while another reacts with "!!!!". In the next panel, multiple armored soldiers surround and strike at a lone figure from all sides with swords and spears, one yelling "TAKE'EM DOWN!!! HE'S A SINGLE, UNARMED MAN!!!". The bottom panels show a close-up of Luffy's furious face as he grunts "HMPH." and lets out a strained "GY A ~~~!!!". He then delivers a heavy blow that sends an opponent flying with the impact sound "KACHIN" and a pained "OO-GUH!!!".

A massive impact rocks the tower as a figure is hurled violently through the air amid swirling debris and falling bodies. "WAA AAH!!" someone screams. Below, a Marine in a helmet stares upward in shock. "WHAT A RECK-LESS ATTI-TUDE!!!" he yells. Another guard grunts "GUH...!!" as the chaos unfolds. In the lower left, Monkey D. Luffy grins confidently while shouting "I'LL BE BACK LATER!!" and "I GOTTA GET MOVING!!" A mechanical crane arm swings wildly with a loud "ガラッ!!" A uniformed Marine is knocked back by the force, marked by impact lines and "!!" Luffy dashes onward through the structure, leaving destruction in his wake.

A hooded guard on the tower reels back in shock, shouting "WAH...!!! HOLD ON THERE!!!" as a small figure hops across the chains high above the massive front gate. "EH!!I" he cries while the intruder vanishes inside with a "HOP!" and "LATER!" label marking the moment. Below, frantic voices report the breach: "HE'S ENTERED THE MAIN ISLAND!!!" "HE WENT INSIDE!! HURRY, HURRY THROUGH THE GATE!!!" and "THROUGH THE MAIN ISLAND FRONT GATE, HE'LL REACH THE DIRECTOR!!!" In the grand hall, a bald garrison member with a weapon and a curly-haired companion react in alarm. "NO!! SINCE IT'S NIGHT... THEY'RE ASLEEP..." one says, only to be countered by "THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO SLEEP!! WAKE 'EM UP!!! AND ANY OTHER SLEEPING GARRISONS ON THE ISLAND!!!" Another blurts "HE BEAT THOSE TWO!!I" and "WHAT ABOUT OIMO AND KAASHII!I" A furious masked man with wild white hair and a black mask glares, demanding "YOU LET HIM THROUGH THE FRONT GATE!!!I WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!I"

At the grand entrance of Justice Island, a masked World Government agent with a ponytail lounges on the steps and calmly addresses the alarm. "YOU DON'T NEED TO SCREAM LIKE THAT, THE DIRECTOR WILL BE FINE... WE'RE HERE, AFTER ALL." Another voice notes, "AN INTRUDER..." A second agent, wearing a dotted mask and tall hat, looms in close-up against the massive "WORLD GO" emblem of the World Government. He snarls, "DON'T BE A FOOL!!... AS THE FRONT STEPS OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENT... JUSTICE ISLAND IS BURDENED WITH A SACRED 'BADGE'!!!" while another voice adds, "I EXPECT THAT ANY IDIOT CAN UNDERSTAND... WHAT IT MEANS TO INVADE THIS PLACE!!!" In the lower courtyard, several agents react with fury. A black-masked figure clutches his head and shouts, "HOW EMBAR-RASSING!! BEING BEATEN BY THIS FILTH, THE STRAW HAT CREW!!" Nearby, a long-haired agent in a patterned coat gestures toward the stairs and says, "HE CAME ALL THE WAY TO THE MAIN ISLAND... JUST TO GET BACK ONE OF HIS COMRADES..." The agents' tense postures and the towering government architecture emphasize the gravity of the Straw Hats' invasion.

At the Enies Lobby main gate, massive chaos erupts as silhouetted giants clash with invaders amid smoke and debris. A huge scream echoes: "わあああああ". From the tower, urgent voices demand, "GATE-KEEPER!! REPORT YOUR STATUS, GATE-KEEPER!!!" Signs clearly mark "ENIES LOBBY MAIN GATE" and "MAIN GATE". A Den Den Mushi broadcasts frantic orders: "RESPOND, MAIN GATE!!!" and "HOW MANY ENEMIES!I WHERE ARE THEY!II" One gatekeeper with sunglasses mutters "ROPE ACTION..." while lying prone. In the explosive bottom panel, a giant swings a massive rope technique, shouting "FIGURE OF EIGHT KNOT!!!" as impact SFX "GWA!!!" and "ドガッン" erupt, sending shockwaves through the air.

A bandaged fighter with a headband glares and yells, "NOT GONNA WASTE MY BULLETS YET!!!" Beside him, another warrior lunges forward with a massive swing, shouting "BAZOOKA BAT!!!" as impact lines explode and a voice cries "HOGAH!!!" In the next tier, the same bandaged man roars "I WON'T LET YOU ESCAPE —!!!" while a dark silhouette leaps ahead with "OKAY!!" In the background, a crowd storms a massive gate as one figure commands, "OPEN THE GATE, THE KEY SHOULD BE BESIDE THE DOOR!!!" Below, a towering giant with an afro hairstyle swings his enormous fist, bellowing "YOU'RE IN THE WAY!!!" as a smaller fighter is sent flying amid heavy impact effects and the exclamation "WOH!!!"

In the midst of a raging battle, a voice shouts "ROGER!!" as fighters clash violently. Another yells "MOZU!! GO LEFT!!!" while weapons swing and bodies tumble. A massive Marine unleashes a devastating strike, roaring "TO LOOK AWAY IS FORBIDDEN!!!" as impact lines explode around him. Nearby, a wide-eyed Marine with wild nose hair cries out in panic, "WHA--!! MY NOSE HAIR'S ACTING ALL FUNNY!!" while his comrade bellows "DON'T LET THEM GO!!" The fight reaches a climax as the large Marine delivers a crushing blow labeled "KEEL CRUSHER!!!", sending shockwaves through the air. Victims scream in agony with "OO WAH!!!" and "OO WOAA AAAH!!!" as debris flies and the Marine emblem on his shirt stands out amid the frenzy.

A massive explosion rocks the towering gates as a horde of attackers surges forward. "OOWOOH ~~~~~!!!" echoes while voices roar "SUPER-STRONG DESTROY-ERS!!!" and "OPEN THE GATES!!" Dust and debris fill the air as the giants Oimo and Kashii charge at the front, smashing through barriers with tremendous force. "GEEEEEE..." groans from the straining metal. Defenders scramble in panic. "OO WOH ~~~!!!" cries one as another shouts "DON'T LET 'EM OPEN THE GATE~~~~ DEFEND IT WITH YOUR LIFE!!!" The giants press on relentlessly. "LET'S GO!!!" bellows a voice from the assaulting side. In the chaos a defender is shoved aside with the yell "MOVE, YOU'RE IN THE WAY ~~~~!!!" while impact sounds "ドゴォォォン" and "ズガァァン" erupt across the panels. The gates begin to creak open amid the frantic melee.

The massive main gate of Enies Lobby explodes outward in a thunderous breach. A gigantic impact SFX "ドゴォン" shakes the structure as the enormous doors swing wide. "HAS BEEN BREACHED!!!" reads the caption. Below, a massive crowd of pirates and allies surges forward through the opening, cheering wildly. "HURRAH ~~~~!!!" A huge star-emblazoned shield and two towering giants lead the charge. "THE MAIN GATE..." In the lower panels, close-ups reveal the two giants. One growls, "YEAH, WE CAN'T LET THAT GO... KAASHII." The other replies, "THE MAIN GATE... HAS BEEN OPENED, HUH, OIMOI" The giants urge everyone onward: "RUN TO THE MAIN ISLAND FRONT GATE!!!" "DON'T LOOK DOWN, MOVE FORWARD!!!" From the rushing group someone yells, "WOAH—!!! WHAT A HOLE!!!" Another cries, "IT'S A WATER-FALL—!!" Oimo and Kashii steel themselves at the edge. "BUT IT'S TIME TO WORK." "IT SUCKS, WE GOTTA WAKE UP." "LET'S GO." SFX "ふおお" and "よぉしよ" punctuate their resolve as the forces pour across the drawbridge toward the island.

At the main island front gate of Enies Lobby, two enormous figures loom over the soldiers below. The giant on the left, labeled MAIN ISLAND FRONT GATE GATEKEEPER OIMO, grips a massive club and shouts "OIMO." Beside him, the other giant, labeled MAIN ISLAND FRONT GATE GATEKEEPER KAASHIII, swings a huge axe while yawning widely. "HWAA~~... I DIDN'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP... LET'S CHASE 'EM OFF QUICK AND GET BACK TO BED," he says. The smaller soldiers and marines in the foreground stare up in shock, several pointing and exclaiming ".....!!I GIANTS!!!!" Others react with "EH ~~~!!I" and scattered "!!I" as the giants tower above them, weapons ready.

At the massive stone plaza of Enies Lobby, Luffy stands alone before an enormous army of Marines and soldiers that fills the entire square. A top-left panel shows a Marine officer shouting, "ENIES LOBBY'S FORCES... NUMBER IN THE TEN THOU-SANDS!!!" Luffy, sweat flying and eyes wide, replies with a defiant grin, "YEAH... AND I'M ALONE. SO... WHERE'S THE REST OF YOUR ARMYI HAHAHA..." He then roars, "GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!" as a huge "ドン!!" impact sound effect erupts across the page. The crowd of black-uniformed soldiers surges forward with rifles, spears, and ladders, shouting "HEY, STRAW HAT LUFFY..." and "MUR-MUR-MUR-MUR..." while one Marine yells "SUPP SUPP". Luffy's small figure faces the sea of enemies beneath the towering arches and fortress walls, completely outnumbered yet unafraid.
