Four Minutes Away

A vibrant color splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy in his straw hat and backpack leaping from the back of a tiger through a lush jungle with a massive waterfall. Nami stands in the foreground wearing a pink hooded jacket, smiling. Other crew members including Usopp and Chopper are visible in the background foliage. Large text at the top reads 'ONE PIECE CREATED BY EIICHIRO ODA AND PRESENTED BY mangastream.com' along with production credits for cleaning, redrawing, typesetting, and translation.

The crowd reacts in shock as a figure appears amid the chaos. "OHH! A 3-STAR CONVICT!!" "TH-THAT GUY!" someone shouts. Sabo leaps into action, striking Burgess hard. "UGH!" The narrator notes, "SABO RESPONDS TO LUFFY'S CRISIS!" In a dramatic full-page spread, Sabo stands tall in his top hat and coat, pipe extended. "I'M SABO OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY," he declares. "LUFFY'S MY LITTLE BROTHER." He points directly at the fallen Burgess and asks, "GOT SOMETHING YOU WANNA SAY TO HIM, BURGESSI" The narrator confirms, "IT'S THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY'S CHIEF OF STAFF!" Burgess groans, "UUGHH..."

Sabo continues, "YOU MUST HAVE HEARD THEM FROM FIRE FIST ACE. WE THREE ARE BROTHERS!" The crowd murmurs, "THOSE WORDS... IT'S LIKE DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN..." A close-up shows Burgess grinning, "STRAW HAT'S YOUR... BROTHERI" Sabo recounts the past: "AND THAT ENDED UP BECOMING THE TRIGGER FOR THAT HORRIFIC 'WAR OF THE GREATEST.' YOU BLACKBEARD PIRATES ARE THE ONES THAT CAPTURED ACE DURING THAT BATTLE ON BANARO ISLAND..." Luffy and others react with horror, "WHAAAT!I" In a tight close-up, Sabo glares intensely, goggles gleaming. "FROM HERE ON OUT, I'LL BE THE ONE WATCHING LUFFY'S BACK. TREAD LIGHTLY."

Burgess roars back, "I DON'T HAVE ANY BUSINESS WITH YOU OR YOUR STINKIN' REVOLUTIONARY ARMY!" Sabo smiles calmly, "ON THE CONTRARY, PERHAPS WE DO HAVE SOME... PERSONAL BUSINESSI" Burgess laughs wildly, "UIIIII HAHAHA! THIS IS ME GIVING A SHIT ABOUT YOUR DUMBASS SOB STORY!" The crowd recognizes the fruit's power: "WHAT!I THE MERA MERA!" "SO THAT... WAS YOU!" Sabo grins. From the stands, Gatz shouts, "DON'T WORRY... CATS AND HIS GUYS SAID THEY'LL BUY ME SOME TIME. AND I'M GONNA HAVE MY HANDS FULL WITH BURGESS! DOFLAMINGO'S GONNA BE COMING ANY MINUTE!" Luffy looks up as Gatz adds, "OI, LUFFY! YOU'VE SEEN BETTER DAYS!" Gatz declares, "IT'S GATZ! I'LL FINISH OFF MINGO... YOU HAVE MY WORD!" Someone replies, "HEHE! YOU'VE GOTTEN MORE DEPENDABLE, I SEE. WELL THEN, LEAVE THIS ONE TO ME!"

Sabo smiles warmly, touching his goggles. "IT'S A MEMENTO OF HIS! I WASN'T GONNA LET ANYONE ELSE HAVE IT!" Luffy stares in shock, "HAA- SABO... ACE'S FRUIT... YOU ATE IT..." Gatz yells encouragement, "RIGHT THEN, I'M COUNTING ON YOU, PETS! IT'S GATZ! AND OKAY!" Burgess lunges forward, "I'MMA TAKE IT!" The crowd reacts, "THAT ABILITY!" A massive explosion rocks the arena as Burgess transforms and attacks. "LARIA~T!" Buildings crumble, "UGYA AAH!" "FWOOM" The narrator notes, "*T/N: KANJI READS 'UNSINKABLE BATTLESHIP'" Burgess shouts, "GAILLEON*..." as debris flies everywhere.

Explosions rock the battlefield as a massive fiery claw erupts. "SO HOT..." someone gasps amid the blaze. A cloaked fighter in black launches a devastating strike, shouting "A BURNING DRAGON CLAW FIST...!" The impact sends shockwaves as the colossal opponent counters with "BLAZE DRAGON KING!" and a roaring "DOGA AAAH!" Below, the fighter in the black coat and top hat thinks, "CRAP, HE'S STRONG! I GUESS THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY'S NO. 2! HE JUST SWATTED AWAY A YONKO'S CREWMEMBER! HE HUNTS AND PICKS OFF DEVIL FRUIT USERS...! LOOKS LIKE I'M HIS NEW TARGET NOW... WHICH MEANS THE RUMORS WERE TRUE..."

A massive warrior with a spiked helmet demands, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE THAT WON THE TOURNAMENT AND GOT THE MERA MERA NO MI!" The smaller fighter replies, "WHAT!I I'M NOT THE SAME LUCY THAT WAS IN THE FINALS. HAA" Someone off-panel yells, "OI, LUCY! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!I" The warrior continues, "ANYWAY! RIGHT NOW, DRESSROSA'S HOPE LIES IN... YOUR RECOVERY!...I SEE. SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED, HUHI Y'KNOW, THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES, BUT... WHAT'S DONE IS DONE. BESIDES... I'M GLAD ONE OF YOU GUYS GOT TO INHERIT THE POWERS OF YOUR LATE BROTHER. I HAD SOME STUFF I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF SO I HAD SABO TAKE MY PLACE." A sudden massive explosion rocks the city as crowds flee in terror, screaming "GYAAH!" and "HAA".

Debris and bodies tumble through the collapsing cityscape amid massive shockwaves and "WOBBLE" effects. A monstrous figure with wild hair roars, "SHOW YOURSELF, STRAW HAT! I'LL PAY YOU BACK IN SPADES! YOU TWO-BIT SMALL FRY! I DON'T NEED ANY 'STAMINA' TO DEAL WITH YOU FODDER!" Nearby, another character panics, "WHAT THE HELL IS HIS DEAL...!I HOW DOES HE STILL HAVE THIS MUCH STAMINA LEFT!I WAAA AAGH!" A voice urges, "DO NOT FALTER! WE MUST KEEP HIM OCCUPIED! EVERY SECOND COUNTS!"

Panicked citizens flee through the streets as voices shout, "HURRY TOWARDS THE CENTRAL DISTRICT! DON'T LET YOURSELF GET CUT BY BIRD CAGE! GET AWAY FROM THE CENTRAL DISTRICT! OTHERWISE WE'LL BECOME COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN THEIR BATTLE!" One man yells, "THE CENTRAL DISTRICT IS A BATTLEFIELD RIGHT NOW!" Another questions, "ISN'T THE CENTRAL DISTRICT THAT WAY!I OI! WHY'RE YOU GUYS RUNNING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!I" A massive impact sends more people flying with "WAAAGH!" and "WHAAAT!I" In the lower streets, fighters demand, "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO RUN TO THEN!I YOU'RE KIDDING ME..."

Zoro swings his swords with full force against the massive bird cage, Busoshoku Haki coating the blades as impact lines explode outward. "ZORO-DONO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!I DON'T BE INSANE!" Kin'emon shouts in panic from the side. Zoro grits his teeth and presses harder. "THIS CAGE ISN'T SOMETHING YOU CAN STOP BY SIMPLY PUSHING!" a voice warns. "EHI" another reacts. Zoro retorts, "AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS IS JUST THE WORK OF ONE MAN! FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THINKING IT CAN'T BE STOPPED IS WHAT'S INSANE! THEN JUST SHUT UP AND GIMME A HAND! YOU HISTORICAL RELICS!" The cage vibrates violently under the assault.

The Tontatta swarm the massive SMILE factory, shouting "SHOW ME YOUR WILD STRENGTH, TONTATTA! THE FACTORY'S MADE OF SEA STONE! IT CAN'T BE CUT!" "READY! WE READY!I" they cry as they push with all their might. "PUSH THAT FACTORY!" someone yells. The structure begins to tilt. On the plateau, Rebecca and Viola watch in shock. "I DON'T KNOW... SUCH A COURSE OF ACTION NEVER EVEN ENTERED MY MIND!" Viola says. "IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!I" Rebecca gasps. "TRYING TO STOP BIRD CAGE!I ZORO AND THE OTHERS ARE..." The plateau on which the palace is located looms in the distance.

Chaos erupts on the south face of the plateau. "SUCH IS THE WILL OF THE YOUNG MASTER!" a Donquixote officer declares. "NEW ROYAL PLATEAU! FOR PEOPLE NOT OF THE DONQUIXOTE FAMILY, ENTRANCE IS FORBIDDEN! DON'T TAKE ANOTHER STEP! THIS IS THE..." Citizens scream, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN 'FAMILY'!I NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOUR EXECUTIVES IS STILL STANDING! THAT'S THE ONLY SAFE HAVEN RIGHT NOW! LET US UP!" A gunshot rings out. "BUUUUUGH!" one man collapses. "IS IN DIRE NEED OF A RESET..." an officer states coldly. "SHUT IT! EVERYONE HERE IS ON DEATH ROW RIGHT NOW!"

The Colosseum warriors burst onto the scene: Bartolomeo, Hajrudin, Commander Kyros, and Don Chinjao. "IT'S THE WARRIORS FROM THE COLOSSEUM!" the crowd cheers. "BARTO-LOMEO! HAJ-RUDIN! COMMANDER KYROS DON CHINJAO TOO!" An officer blocks them: "YOU'RE IN THE WAY, FRIGGIN' STRAGGLERS!" Kyros roars, "OI! SAVE ALL THEM CHEERS FOR LATER! THOSE MEN AMONG YOU WITH EVEN AN OUNCE OF STRENGTH, FOLLOW ME!" The crowd responds, "WHOOOOOOO! THANKS FOR SAVING US, KYROS-SAMA! AT ANY RATE, ALL OF YOU GET MOVING! CLIMB UP HERE!" Elsewhere, an officer questions, "THIS IS THE WAY PRINCESS MANSHELLY HAS CHOSEN TO PROLONG DRESSROSA'S LIFE! PRO-LONG!I EXPLAIN YOURSELF, LITTLE ONE!!" A wounded man gasps, "ME TOO... THE INJURIES OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN TOO SEVERE! WHY AM I... ABLE TO MOVE!I"

Panic erupts across Dressrosa as the Bird Cage contracts violently. Citizens scream and push against each other while Doflamingo's voice booms, "IF YOU WON'T COME OUT, THEN I'LL JUST HAVE TO ROOT YOU OUT!" A massive clash sends debris flying as fighters are hurled back. Someone yells, "BIRD CAGE HAS STARTED CONTRACTING FASTER!" and "UWA AAAH!" A desperate voice cries, "WHAT!I" The Straw Hats and allies press forward. "COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE... STRAW HAT..." A fighter growls. "IT'S TIME FOR US TO SHINE, BOYS!" someone shouts amid the chaos. "IT'S USELESS!" another roars. The timer box displays: TIME LEFT TILL LUFFY RECOVERS HAKI: 4 MINUTES!! A frantic citizen shouts, "YOU HAVE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! WILL WE EVEN MAKE IT!I" The narration box reads: TIME LEFT TILL BIRD CAGE REACHES THE CENTRAL DISTRICT AND MASS SLAUGHTER: 3 MINUTES!! People scream, "RUN FOR THE NEW ROYAL PLATEAU!" "SAVE US!" "THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN OUTRUN IT!" "KING RIKU! PLEASE, SAVE US!" Doflamingo is repeatedly called out as the cage tightens.
