The chapter title page displays the One Piece logo above bold text reading CHAPTER 737 - "THE OFFICERS' TOWER". Below the logo, a sprawling black-and-white illustration shows a chaotic drinking party on a stone floor littered with sake bottles, cups, and barrels. A large ape-like boss monkey sits prominently in the center, gripping bottles labeled with Japanese text, while a scarred swordsman resembling Zoro crouches nearby holding a bottle. Surrounding them are various wild-looking figures in cloaks, hats, and armor, some with animal features, all laughing, shouting, or drinking. Small creatures scurry among the revelers. A caption at the bottom reads: "ZORO COMPETES IN A DRINKING CONTEST WITH THE BOSS MONKEY" - SENT IN BY NODA SKYWALKER OF OSAKA. The artist's credit "尾田栄一郎" appears below.

A massive stone creature erupts from a brick wall in a cloud of dust and debris, its body covered in spikes and rocky protrusions. The monster towers over three figures below: a man in a black coat with swords, a small figure with a staff, and a woman in a dress. Speech bubbles shout "A ROCK MONSTER!I" and "WATCH OUT!! HE'S ONE OF THE FAMILY'S ELITE OFFICERS!!!" while onomatopoeia "ゴゴゴゴ!!!" rumbles across the top. Smaller panels show the creature's arm swinging, impact lines, and close-ups of Luffy's shocked face with a question mark and the woman yelling. Text explains: "HE ATE THE 'ISHI ISHI NO MI'... AND BECAME A 'ROCK ASSIMILATION MAN'!!" and "TN: ISHI - STONE". The monster's fist smashes forward as the group reacts in alarm.

Multiple panels depict the chaos inside the stone palace. Luffy stares in shock, exclaiming "THE WALLS!!" as stone structures twist and move. Zoro shouts angrily, "SO IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S NOT JUST AN ORDINARY 'STONE MAN'....!!!" while a voice notes "HE CAN FUSE WITH ANY STONE HE TOUCHES, SO NOW... YOU COULD SAY THAT THIS ENTIRE STONE PALACE... IS BEING COMPLETELY... CONTROLLED BY HIM!!" The palace towers loom in the background. A massive impact erupts in a central splash panel with huge onomatopoeia "ボンゴォォ!!!" as the floor and walls explode outward. Debris flies, a chandelier swings, and figures are hurled through the air amid cries of "UWAHHH!!!" and motion lines.

03
Explosive action engulfs the Corrida Colosseum. A giant fish-man-like fighter labeled Burgess leaps through shattering stone with "WAVE MOTION ELBOW!!!" and "...ELBOW!!!" attacks, sending shockwaves and debris flying. Onlookers scream "THIS IS IT!!! BURGESS'......!!!" and "THE COLOSSEUM IS SHAKING!!!" as the stands crack. A bird-like fighter is struck mid-air with impact effects "ドゴォン" and "バキン". Speech bubbles identify "JESUS BURGESS IS... THE UPSTART PIRATE, BLACKBEARD..." and note "ONE OF THE '10 TITAN CAPTAINS' WHO BACK HIM UP!!!" while others shout "ANOTHER FIGHTING FISH IS LEAPING!!" and "CAN BURGESS DODGE THIS ONE!I" The arena structure labeled "CORRIDA COLOSSEUM" crumbles under the assault.

A bearded man in a fur hat throws his head back and roars with laughter, "UIHAHAHA!!" In the stands, panicked spectators shout, "DON'T INVOLVE THE AUDIENCE IN THIS!!" "THAT BASTARD!!!" "STRETCH-ERS!! WE NEED STRETCHERS!!" Below in the ruined arena, a massive black fighting fish with curved horns and the number "01" on its cap smashes through stone and water in a huge spray. The creature's sudden appearance draws shocked reactions, "!!I" The fur-hatted man points excitedly, "THERE IT IS!!! THE FIGHTING FISH WITH THE DEVIL FRUIT!!!" A spiky-haired fighter nearby gasps, "OH!!"

The giant fish lunges forward with open jaws, "HE'S GOING FOR REBECCA!!!" Rebecca, chained and wide-eyed, watches the beast close in. The fish snaps its teeth, "KYAH!!" and "KA-CHIN," while Rebecca thinks, "IF I COULD JUST... THE CHAINS..." In the foreground the fur-hatted man yells triumphantly, "I'VE GOTCHA!!" as the fish twists through the air toward its target.

The fur-hatted man shouts, "BUT I WON'T LET YOU HAVE IT, 'STRAW-HAT'!!!" and "I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT..." The fish barrels ahead with a fierce grin. From below, a cloaked figure with a flower-like collar twists and counters, "UIHAHA!! I'LL END THIS BY SHOOTING YOU DOWN!!!" while the fish is struck and sent spinning, "TWIST." The fur-hatted man grimaces in shock at the sudden reversal.

Spectators scream, "RUN AWAY!!" "HE'S GONNA DO IT AGAIN!!" "GYAAH!!" "BURGESS IS WINDING UP!!!" The fur-hatted man taunts, "SO YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE ATTACK, LUCY!I" A cloaked fighter named Lucy stands firm as Burgess prepares a massive strike. Rebecca urges, "WHY YOU GOTTA GO AND STAND BEHIND ME!I" while another voice calls, "HURRY, WE NEED TO GET AWAY!!" Lucy declares, "DRAGON CLAW!!" and follows with "ELBOW!!!" The fish is slammed aside as the narrator notes, "LUCY'S LOST HIS CHANCE TO ESCAPE!!!"

Lucy smashes through Burgess' massive spiked armor with a devastating strike, sending debris flying as the armored giant reels. "LUCY!!!" a woman with glasses shouts in shock. "UOHHHH!!" Lucy roars amid the impact. "BURGESS' ARMOR HAS BEEN SMASHED TO PIECES!!!" someone yells. Nearby, a long-haired fighter grimaces, "HIS FIGHTING STYLE IS DIFFERENT... IS THIS GUY REALLY STRAWHAT!I" Another voice cries, "D...!! DAT'S...!!! DAT'S MY GREAT SENPAI FOR YA!!!" A helmeted figure growls, "GET IT THAT EASILY...!!!" while another warns, "AS IF I'D LET YOU..." The massive "4" impact graphic dominates the panel as the armor shatters completely.

From a high vantage, observers note the chaos below the Officers' Tower. "THAT'S ALL THE PROOF WE NEED IN ORDER TO KNOW..." one says. "THE TOYS KEEP MARCHING OUT, ONE AFTER THE OTHER!" another observes. A sign reads "UNDERGROUND COMMERCE PORT: USOPP'S LOCATION." "...THAT SUGAR IS INSIDE THE OFFICERS' TOWER!!" a small figure declares. Diagrams show pipes stretching from the tower: "AS FOR THE PIPES STRETCHING ALL AROUND IT..." "IN THE VERY CENTER IS THE LIFT THAT THE OFFICERS USE." A goggled man shouts, "WHAT'RE THOSE TENTACLESI" The map labels "OFFICERS' TOWER" leading "DIRECTLY BELOW THE OFFICERS' TOWER!" to the scrap heap, with warnings of entrances throughout Dressrosa.

Inside the Officers' Tower, a blonde woman in a large hat sits amid garbage, exclaiming, "WHERE AM I!!!I FIRST THE MOUNTAIN OF GARBAGE, AND NOW THIS!!" and "...DAMN. THIS IS AWFUL!!" A monstrous figure lunges, "UWAHH!! TOO CLOSE!" "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!I" she demands. She examines sticky residue on her hand: "IT'S NOT 'VISCOUS,' IT'S 'STICKY'!!" and "AND WHAT'S THIS VISCOUS SUBSTANCE!I" Below, the grand chamber reveals the source: "IS THE REASON WHY THIS FACTORY-LIKE ROOM HAS ANOTHER NAME BESIDES 'THE OFFICERS' TOWER'...!I" "THE REASON WHY TOYS EMERGE FROM HERE IN DROVES..." A voice calls, "SUGAR, WHAT'S THAT OTHER NAMEI" as a massive dripping form looms with "BUT!! THIS IS THE OFFICERS' TOWER! BEHE-HE!!"

Trebol towers over the scene, mucus dripping as he roars, "BEHHHHEHE-HEHEHE!!!" and "WRONG!!" A small girl in a bear hoodie watches silently. Trebol continues, "MY NOSE IS RUNNING!!! THE SNOT'S HANGING!!" He points threateningly: "YUCKY. GO DIE." The blonde woman stares in shock. Trebol bellows, "I WON'T DIE!! I... I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO WHAT A BRAT LIKE YOU SAYS!! BEHEHE!!" A box labels him: "DONQUIXOTE FAMILY ELITE OFFICER: TREBOL (BETA BETA NO MI USER)." The girl remains expressionless as the sticky substance splatters everywhere.

Sugar stands with a jester-like figure as the contract is invoked. "NOW FOR THE "CON-TRACT"." The jester points and declares, "...ME..." Nearby, Trebol struggles with sticky substance on his body, shouting, "HURRY UP AND GET THIS STICKY STUFF OFF OF..." and "HEY, I CAN'T MOVE, CHILD!" Sugar's eyes widen as she recites the rules: "FOLLOW ALL ORDERS FROM THE FAMILY" and "CAUSE NO HARM TO A HUMAN". The jester laughs maniacally, "EVEN I'VE ALREADY FORGOTTEN WHO YOU ARE. BEHEHEHE!! NOBODY WILL EVEN REMEMBER YOU ANYMORE!!" and commands, "AND NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO WORK... OR FIGHT... FOR DOFFY UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE!!" The small jester sweats in panic, thinking "THE CONTRACT!I" while Sugar stares in shock, unable to speak or resist the orders. Trebol looms over them, yelling, "STOP CHATTERING AND GET TO WORK. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI HEY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BODY. HURRY UP AND..." as the contract takes hold.

The jester toy stands confused outside a large arched doorway. "WHAT IS THIS PLACE...I" A large man replies, "YOUR POST IS... OH, A NEW GUY." The toy is sent forward with the order, "HEAD FOR THE FINAL DOOR AND EXIT OUT TO THE HARBOR...!!!" Suddenly transformed, the toy cries out, "HEY!! WHAT THE!I I'VE BEEN TURNED INTO A TOY!!" In the chaotic harbor filled with moving toys and crates, voices shout, "CARRY THOSE TOYS PROPERLY!" and "THESE TOYS, MOVING AROUND... THEY HAVE TO WORK HERE UNTIL THEY DIE!!" A pirate toy protests, "I'M A PIRATE. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A BAD DREAM. WAKE UP ALREADY!" A crowned pig-like figure yells, "I'M THE KING OF PRODENCE!! DAMN YOU DOFLAMINGO!! AND NOW I'M A TOY UNTIL I DIE!I YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING. SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!!" Another figure notes the underground harbor used for smuggling weapons, while the jester toy despairs, "KOALA IS WAITING FOR A REPORT. WON'T I HAVE EVEN A MOMENT OF FREEDOMI BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!!"

A cloaked figure peeks through a doorway with a "BLOOM" sound as eyes watch from the shadows. Outside a tower marked with a star, a small figure moves with "RUSTLE" and "WHOOSH" effects. In the streets, observers note, "SHE LOVES GRAPES, SO SHE'S ALWAYS EATING THEM. RIGHT. SHE'S REALLY JUST A KID... SO THAT'S TREBOL......AND SUGAR, RIGHTI" A character plans, "SO YOU'RE GOING TO GET SUGAR TO...I" and declares, "I'M GOING TO PLACE IT IN THAT BASKET!!" Inside, a tall figure with a large afro presents a black sphere, shouting, "IT'S A LUMP OF THE WORLD'S SPICIEST SPICE, "TATABABASCO!!" LOOK AT THIS!!" while another figure reacts with shock, "SO WHATI" The plan is revealed as the sphere is prepared to be hidden among grapes.
A determined figure shouts, "I'LL WATCH OVER YOU!!...GOT IT!! GO NOW, LEO!!" while another yells, "HOW REASSURING!! IF A PANIC BREAKS OUT, I'LL RUN AWAY." The afro-haired figure warns, "YOU TESTED IT!I 100% LOST CONSCIOUSNESS, AND 18 NEARLY DIED. WE EXPERIMENTED WITH IT ON 50 TONTATTA TRIBE MEMBERS. THIS HAS TO MAKE IT TO SUGAR!! WE CAN HAVE NO MISTAKES, HERE!!" A girl in a polka-dot dress replies, "NO PROBLEM!!" as a rabbit-masked figure urges, "KEEP IT DOWN, YOU GUYS!! WATCH OUT FOR TREBOL!! GOOD LUCK, LEO!!" The scene shifts to a massive crowd of toys in a colosseum-like area. Narration states, "THE TOYS OF THIS COUNTRY..." A small figure announces, "FOR WHEN SUGAR'S WAIL RINGS OUT... EVERYONE PREPARE YOURSELVES!!" The toys and people ready themselves amid the bustling cityscape.

In a tense sequence of panels, a cloaked figure with a top hat declares, "ALL THE EVIL WILL BE EXPOSED..." while another voice adds, "...WILL BECOME BIG HUMANS ONCE MORE!! ALL THE LOST MEMORIES WILL RETURN!!!" A massive, menacing face looms over the ruined city of Dressrosa, with a curly-haired girl staring in shock as someone shouts, "DOFLA-MINGO, WILL BE REVEALED!!" and "AND THE TRUE NATURE OF THE PIRATE..." The scene shifts to a determined crowd of Tontatta dwarves and allies rallying behind Usopp, who stands tall with goggles and a striped shirt, raising his fist and yelling, "TO RESCUE OUR FRIENDS!! TO TAKE BACK THE KINGDOM FOR KING RIKU!!! HERE I GO!!!" Dwarves and soldiers cheer wildly with cries of "UOHH-HH-HH!!!" while others urge, "KEEP IT DOWN!! THE PLAN'S ABOUT TO GO INTO ACTION!!" The page ends with the chapter title and a note that One Piece is on break next week.
