Half and Half

In a lush jungle, Monkey D. Luffy swings energetically from a vine, one arm extended forward and the other holding a long stick, his mouth open in excitement. Beside him, a woman with long dark hair wearing a pink hooded jacket with fur trim stands on a tree branch, one arm raised. Sunlight streams through the canopy, illuminating the dense foliage and a waterfall in the background. Several other figures are visible climbing and moving through the trees below. The page features prominent credits for cleaning, redrawing, typesetting, translation, and providing.

A close-up shows a wild-haired man with a furious expression, sweat flying, shouting 'HIS CLOTHES AND EVERYTHING ARE JUST LIKE THAT CABBAGE BASTARD, BUT... HIS FACE IS SOMEONE ELSE'S!' Another voice yells 'WH... WHO THE HELL IS THAT GUYI!' and 'CABBAGE ON THE RAMPAGEI!' In the next panel, a horned, scaly-skinned man kneels amid rubble, growling 'THAT LITTLE, HORNED TURD...' as a small white creature is sent flying. The bottom panels depict chaos with multiple enemy soldiers being struck and thrown by unseen attacks, accompanied by impact sounds 'ドドド' and 'ドドド'.

In the ruined colosseum arena, a horned fighter with sharp teeth snarls in rage. "DAMN IT! DELLINGER!" he roars as the ground erupts around him. Dellinger stands amid the rubble, bloodied and furious, growling "UGGGH..." while a distant figure in a hat watches from the debris. A massive impact shakes the battlefield. "HE TOOK 'EM ALL OUT!" someone shouts in shock. Close-ups reveal a long-haired warrior with a dark, menacing expression glaring forward. Spectators react in panic: "THAT SURE WAS FAST..." "WHAT JUST HAPPENED!I I COULDN'T SEE A FRIGGIN' THING!" "SO IT WAS ALL THIS GUY'S DOING, EHI" Another voice realizes, "THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SHIT THAT HAPPENED IN THE COLOSSEUM'S D BLOCK!" "FOR SOME REASON, ALL OF THEM HAVE JUST... COLLAPSED!" THAT'S WHAT THAT ANNOUNCER GUY SAID IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN..."

A silver-haired woman stares in disbelief at the fallen figure. "WHO COULD THAT POSSIBLY BEI!" she exclaims. The scene shows Cavendish's body sprawled amid wreckage, his face altered. "HIS CLOTHES ARE CERTAINLY THOSE OF CAVENDISH, BUT THAT FACE IS SOME OTHER DUDENDISH!" A sudden blur strikes; the transformed Cavendish lunges with blinding speed. "THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! THIS FUCKER IS SO FAST I CAN'T EVEN KEEP TRACK OF HIM!" he yells as "GYAAH!" echoes. Dellinger glares furiously. "OI! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST GLANCE ATI!" "YOU BETTER NOT BE PLANNING SOME CRAZY, OFF-THE-WALL SHIT!" The altered Cavendish smirks dangerously. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT, DUDEI WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUI" "THERE'S SUCH A THING AS TAKING A JOKE TOO FAR..."

Hakuba lunges wildly, snarling "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ROBIN-SENPAI~" as he charges. Robin leaps into action, shouting "STOO-OOOP-PPPP!" while dodging with "WHOOSH". A close-up shows Hakuba's feral glare and Robin's focused eyes. "YOU'VE DEFINITELY GOTTEN A BIT MORE... MELANCHOLY SINCE WE LAST TALKED..." Robin observes calmly. "WHATEVER IS THE MATTER, CAVENDISH-KUNI" Hakuba retorts from within, "I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. MY SPEED IS USELESS AGAINST ME!" as blades clash and debris flies.

Robin calls out, "WAIT JUST A MINUTE, HAKUBA!" as Hakuba rages, "THAT SOMEONE LIKE ME COULD ACTUALLY PRESUME TO PROTECT YOU...! HOW FOOLISH OF ME!" "ROBIN ZENPAY~" he howls. "WHOAAAA!" he screams in pain. "AMAZING! SHE STOPPED HIM!" an onlooker cries. Hakuba, now partially reverted, apologizes, "THAT WAS CLOSE! MY APOLOGIES, NICO ROBIN. I WAS ABOUT TO KILL YOU." "FOR YOU TO COME OUT!" "I NEVER SAID IT WAS OKAY..." he adds. The dark persona returns, threatening, "YOUR ARMS, YOUR LEGS AND, YES, YOUR NECK! I'LL CARVE THEM TO SHREDS! NICO ROBIN!" "I SHALL CLEAVE THROUGH ALL!" Robin notes, "I'M AFRAID SO. HE'S QUITE THE BOTHERSOME FELLOW. JUST HACKS AND KILLS EVERYTHING AROUND HIM INDISCRIMINATELY..." "SO THAT JUST NOW WAS THE HAKUBA I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT... SLEEP-WALKING, HUHI"

A woman with goggles and a hat stands tense as Cavendish's split personality erupts. One side snarls, "ALL THIS HAS NO MEANING UNLESS I DO IT MYSELF!" while the other roars, "I SHALL CARVE, SHRED AND TEAR THROUGH ALL!" The two faces clash violently, screaming at each other: "YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OR PURPOSE BEHIND THIS FIGHT!" "SCREW YOU! GO BACK TO SLEEP, CAVENDISH!" "DON'T YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE, HAKUBA! I AM NOT ABOUT TO GIVE IN TO YOU!" Multiple overlapping cries of "NO ME! NO I WILL!" and "NO I SHALL!" fill the panels as the personalities fight for control. A narrator notes, "IT'S ALMOST AS IF THERE'S TWO PEOPLE THERE TALKING TO EACH OTHER! HE'S THE FUCKING POSTER BOY FOR SPLIT PERSONALITY!!" In the final splash, Cavendish's face twists grotesquely as he bellows, "HE'S GONE ALL HALF-AND-HALF!" and "NO ME WILL!" with a massive "バーン!!" sound effect.

Cavendish, still half Hakuba, wheezes, "OKAY, I SHOULD BE OKAY NOW. NICO ROBIN, PLEASE, RELEASE ME." Robin stands behind him with hands clasped. He insists, "I ALONE AM CAVENDISH!" and yells, "HEY! SHUT IT, HAKUBA!" Robin questions, "ARE YOU SINCERELY ASKING ME TO TRUST YOU AFTER THAT SHOW YOU PUT ON JUST NOW!I" Cavendish retorts about the wall they stand on. In the distance, a massive round figure looms as Robin and another character react with shock. The giant form begins to swell dramatically with "ズズズ" effects. Someone shouts, "IF THAT SHIT EXPLODES WE AIN'T JUST GOING TO BLAST OFF SOMEWHERE! SOMEONE'S GONNA LOSE A LIMB...OR FOUR!" as the blast expands with "ドン——" and the warning "BLAST AWAY!"

Robin refuses to descend, stating, "YOU SHOULD GET DOWN FROM THERE FOR THE TIME BEING, NICO ROBIN. I REFUSE! WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO REBECCA IN THE MEANTIME...I" The large figure warns, "HE'S GONNA RUPTURE US ALONG WITH THAT WALL!" Bartolomeo appears, declaring, "THAT ASS-HOLE! THE WALL WON'T BURST. CORRECT DECISION. IF YOU DEFEAT ME, I WON'T LET YOU LAY A HAND ON ROBIN-SENPAI!" He charges with a barrier attack, shouting "PUNK HAIR!" while firing "PEW PEW!" The large figure counters, striking Bartolomeo with "ULUG GHH!" and "ジュドズ!!" effects. Bartolomeo and Cavendish react in horror as the figure explains, "THOSE 'HAIRS' ARE ACTUALLY POISON-COATED NEEDLES." Bartolomeo gasps, "WHAT THE...!I MY LEGS ARE... GOING NUMB..."

The massive round figure declares, "I AM A FULL-BODY RUPTURE HUMAN!" while pierced by thousands of needles. He continues, "IF YOU STIMULATE ME IN THIS STATE, MY ENTIRE BODY WILL BURST..." Robin and Bartolomeo stand firm as the figure adds, "YET IF YOU DO NOT DEFEAT ME, THE BURSTING OF THE WALL IS INEVITABLE!" and "FIND THEIR HOMES IN THOSE TWO UP ABOVE!" The giant swells further with "ビリビリ" effects. In the final spread the figure states, "SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, ROBIN-SENPAI IS GOING TO BE ATTACKED!" and "OF COURSE, THE FORCE OF THE BURSTING OF MY OWN BODY WILL CLAIM YOUR OWN LIFE AS WELL..." while noting, "QUITE THE DILEMMA, NO!I" as the wall and cityscape loom behind the expanding form.

Cavendish glares with wild hair and bared teeth, thinking fiercely: "I'VE GOTTA BEAT THIS PORCUPINE BASTARD! YET EVEN IF I MANAGE THAT, A HUGE NUMBER OF POISONOUS NEEDLES ARE GOING TO PIERCE ROBIN-SENPAI... THINK, BARTOLOMEO... WHAT'S MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY!I ROBIN-SENPAI'S LIFE, RIGHT!I TO STOP THIS WALL FROM BLOWING..." He shouts across panels, "YOU USE YOUR BODY TO SHIELD ROBIN-SENPAI FROM THOSE POISON NEEDLES! GOT IT!I" and "I'M GONNA FINISH OFF THIS PORCUPINE FOOL SO..." A voice cuts in, "OI! CABBAGE!!!" Cavendish snaps back with "HEY..." and "WAIT A SEC... RIGHT NEXT TO ROBIN-SENPAI IS A DUDE WHOSE LIFE I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT!" His expression twists as he questions himself: "WHAT SHOULD I DO!I WHAT SHOULD I DO!I" and "WHAT A USELESS FOOL! ROBIN-SENPAI'S REALLY IN A PINCH NOW!" The scary half emerges, declaring "SHIT! THE SCARY HALF'S COME OUT TO PLAY!" and "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, CHICKEN-HEAD!" Cavendish retorts desperately, "THERE'S A WAY I CAN PREVENT THOSE NEEDLES FROM FLYING ALL THE WAY UP THERE..." and "THAT'S IT!" while the other half yells "I DON'T CARE! THE FACT THAT I CAN ONLY DEPLOY ONE BARRIER AT A TIME IS A PROBLEM, BUT..."

A massive spherical barrier erupts with the cry "BARRIER BALL!" as Bartolomeo shouts "ROBIN-SENPAI!" Inside the protective dome he declares, "IF IT MEANS PROTECTING YOU, I WILL NEVER FALTER!" Smaller panels show a woman with goggles gasping "CHICKEN-KUN... WHY DID YOU..." and "YOU INTEND TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF!I" Bartolomeo grins and answers, "THIS FOOL... WE'RE ON THE INSIDE OF AN INVINCIBLE BARRIER RIGHT NOW! BURST ALL YOU WANT, ASSWIPE!" The porcupine-like fighter stabs forward with "I'LL START WITH A STAB TO YOUR WIND-PIPE!" eliciting a pained "GUOOH!" from Bartolomeo as impact lines and "ビスッ!!" mark the strike.

The barrier sphere ruptures violently with huge sound effects "ドゴォォォン!!" and the note "FASHION PUNK!" (TL NOTE: FULL-BODY RUPTURE!). Cavendish yells "CHICKEN-KUN!" as the explosion hurls debris. The porcupine fighter is blasted backward, roaring while the woman cries out in shock. A circular barrier fragment spins away as someone declares "THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO STOP THE WALL AS WELL..." and "EAT THAT, PORCUPINE."

Cavendish screams "BELIEVE ME!!!" and "LET GO OF ME! I WILL KILL..." while declaring "I'VE SUPPRESSED HAKUBA! I REALLY AM CAVENDISH NOW! BUT I'VE GIVEN HAKUBA CONTROL OF HALF OF MY BODY!" A woman shouts "NICO ROBIN, FORGIVE ME!!" Robin appears, warning "YOU WERE BUT A FEW CENTIMETERS OFF. WHAT YOU STABBED WAS NOT MY WINDPIPE BUT MY... SHOULDER." The stabbed man gasps "I-I MISSED HIS VITALS!I" as the wall begins to expand with "SUPER ARENA!" Explosions rock the area; a bearded fighter notes "HIS NECK AND SHOULDER LOOKED THE SAME! DAMN IT!" while another voice says "SHALL NOT BE STOPPED." Cavendish and Bartolomeo are hurled through debris as Robin watches the chaos unfold.

Luffy declares, "I'VE STILL GOT A WAYS TO GO, BUT I'LL BECOME STRONGER AND STRONGER..." while a masked fighter with a checkered scarf launches an attack. The masked man thinks, "BARI BARI NO..." as Luffy's voice echoes, "Luffy Senpai..." A close-up shows the masked fighter's shocked face: "IMPOSSIBLE... THERE'S NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE OUTRUN THAT EXPLOSION..." Below, the masked fighter unleashes a massive strike labeled "PISTOL!" with explosive impact lines and debris flying. A monstrous face with sharp teeth roars, "AND SOME-DAY... I'LL BE THE KIND OF MAN... YOU CAN TRULY RELY ON!" On the right side, a swordsman with goggles blocks an attack, blood dripping from his blade as he tells a girl, "IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN... THIS IS YOUR OWN BODY..." Cavendish's voice comments, "CAVENDISH-KUN STOPPED HAKUBA'S SWORD WITH HIS OWN HAND... WHAT AN ODD FELLOW..." while someone snores loudly.

The monstrous fighter growls, "WITH THAT ANNOYING LUNATIC AGAIN! I SURE AIN'T JOINING FORCES..." as he is hurled through the air with impact sounds "バキン!!" and lands with a heavy "THUMP" amid "HAA HAA" panting. Far below on the battlefield, a lone figure stands in "LEVEL 4: SUNFLOWER FIELDS" as the monstrous fighter falls, thinking, "WITH A BATTLEFIELD AS UNSTABLE AS THIS, FORGET ONE FOOT... IT'S HARD TO KEEP YOUR FOOTING EVEN WITH TWO FEET!" A woman commands, "PARRY, BUTTERFLY FLOWERS. MILLE FLEUR" while launching an attack. Someone yells, "STOP! RUN, REBECCA! YOU CAN'T BLOCK IT!" as Rebecca cries out in alarm.

A massive floral attack erupts with the cry "MOTH ORCHID!" as countless butterfly-like flowers swarm around a swordsman and a woman in a helmet. The woman blocks with her sword amid the chaos. A note reads, "T/N: A CERTAIN SPECIES OF BUTTERFLY." Robin appears with a calm smile, saying, "I SHALL... THANK YOU FOR DELIVERING THE KEY. YOUR MISSION IS OVER, REBECCA. HANDLE THE REST!" as she joins the fray. Rebecca reacts with shock, "WHAT THE...!I ROBIN-SAN!" while a background figure shouts "ROBI-LAND!"
