Prostrate

A vibrant splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy in his Straw Hat outfit leaping dynamically through a lush jungle canopy, one arm extended forward as he grips a vine or branch. Sunlight streams down through the trees. To the right, a woman with long dark hair wearing a pink hooded jacket with fur trim smiles confidently, one arm raised. Other figures are visible in the background foliage, some swinging or climbing. The page is framed by the 'ONE PIECE' title at the top and credits for the scanlation team.

A massive crowd erupts in celebration, fists raised as they roar "わああああああああ" and cheer "THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER, AND THE CRIES RING OUT-JOY! JOY! JOY!". In the ruined plaza below, a lone figure stands amid rubble and smoke. A voice calls out "AIN'T GONNA FINISH ME OFFI" while another replies "DON'T NEED TO...". The transponder snail rings "PURU RURU" repeatedly. A tall man in a black coat and top hat stands with his back turned, pipe in hand. Nearby, a large man growls "WHAT A SOFTIE! YOU AND YOUR BROTHER, THE BOTH OF YOU!" as a woman in a dark hat watches with wide eyes and says "LI... HA... HA..." and "LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING'S OVER...".

The woman in the hat stares in shock as the transponder snail continues "PURU RURU". The large man with goggles and swirly hair grins wildly and says "AND WAS ABOUT TO BE SHIPPED OFF TO THE MARINESI D'YA WANNA HEAR WHAT ACE SAID WHEN HE LOST TO OUR CAPTAIN ON BANARO ISLAND". In the underground trade port, people shout "WE'RE TRYING TO REACH HIM RIGHT NOW!", "WHAT ABOUT SENDING WORD TO THE CHIEF OF STAFF!I", "THE MARINES'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE! HURRY! IT'S FINALLY COME TO AN END!". The man in the coat stands motionless on a balcony as the large man continues "HAA... AFTER FINDING OUT THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE EXECUTED, ACE SAID THIS:" and bursts into laughter "UIHA HA! I GUARANTEE YOU YOU'LL BUST A LUNG ONCE YA HEAR IT!".

The large man leans forward intensely, declaring "PLEASE DON'T TELL MY LITTLE BROTHERS." Narration recounts how the Marines would have exploited Fire Fist Ace's capture. The woman in the hat reacts with "...!!" while the man in the coat remains silent. The large man continues "DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE PRICE OF HIS OWN LIFE! NOW THAT'S A MORON!" and "THEY MILKED HIS LIFE FOR 120% OF WHAT IT WAS...". The man in the coat finally speaks: "THAT'S ENOUGH. SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH... HIS LAST THOUGHTS BEFORE LEAVING THIS WORLD...".

The man in the coat stands amid destruction and shouts "I DON'T NEED A PIECE OF SHIT LIKE YOU TO EXPLAIN THAT TO ME!" while the transponder snail rings "PURU RURU". The large man retorts "I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT KINDA REGRET DOESN'T KILL YA!" and "I AIN'T GONNA LET THE MERA MERA NO MI SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERS! THAT'S IT... LOSE YOUR COOL... LET YOUR GUARD DOWN YOU FOOL!". The woman cries "THAT DESPITE HAVING ALL YER STATUS AND POWER AND THAT'S WHY I REFUSE TO CARRY ANY MORE REGRETS!". The man in the coat swings his pipe, striking the large man as he yells "WHEN HE NEEDED YOU MOST, YOU WERE NO WHERE TO BE SEEN! YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO GO SAVE YOUR OWN BROTHER! NAPPING, WERE YA!I" The large man reels from the blow.

A massive fiery slash erupts as a cloaked figure unleashes a blazing attack. "HIKEN!" the voice roars. The strike sends a striped, rotund figure tumbling through the air amid smoke and debris. Below, the attacker lands in a crouch amid swirling flames and impact lines while an unseen observer reacts with "!!!I". In the lower panels, a figure in a tall hat pants heavily, "HAA HAA", as "PURURU" rings from a Den Den Mushi. Close-ups show the hatted figure's intense expression and gritted teeth amid swirling smoke and motion lines.

Sabo, bloodied and wearing a tall hat and goggles, declares with a fierce look, "I WON'T CARRY ANYMORE BECAUSE... I KNOW ACE WOULD NEVER FORGIVE ME IF I DID!" Explosions and "GYAA AAAH!" echo in the background as "PURURU" continues from the Den Den Mushi. Koala speaks on the line: "OH. MY BAD. DIDN'T NOTICE. IT'S FINE, THOUGH. I'VE ALREADY DEALT WITH THE MATTER. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I GOT REALLY WORRIED AND TRIED TO CALL YOU ON THE DEN DEN MUSHI, BUT YOU JUST WOULDN'T PICK UP!" She adds, "BURGESS WAS TRYING TO HUNT DOWN LUFFY JUST NOW SO..." A voice answers, "HELLOI SABO-KUNI WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!I" Sabo replies to Koala, "DIDN'T NO..." while she continues the call. Elsewhere, Koala-san is urged to take deep breaths as she clutches her head. Hack reports, "HACK AND I AND EVERYONE ELSE ARE ALREADY DOWN HERE, WAITING ON YOU!" Sabo confirms, "OKAY. GO AND GROUP UP WITH HACK UNDERGROUND." Koala exclaims, "YES! OF COURSE I HAVE! SHEESH!" and "KOALA! HAVE YOU FOUND THE LISTI" Sabo finishes, "WELL, WHY DON'T YOU CALL FOR A SHI-" as the line cuts with "GACHA" and "CLACK" sounds from the Den Den Mushi.

Explosions rock the scene with "ばん!! ばん!!" as the narration states, "THE DONQUIXOTE FAMILY..." A spiked fortress appears with "わーあああああ" cries. The text continues, "ALL EIGHT OF THEM." Close-ups show the executives shouting amid more blasts "ばん!! ばん!!". The narration adds, "EXECUTIVES... THE THREE TOP EXECUTIVES AS WELL... CONFIRMED." A voice warns, "CARE-FUL!" as the chaos intensifies with impact effects and frantic expressions from the fighters.

The broadcast continues with urgent orders: "TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN EVERY LAST ONE WITH SEA STONE!" and "MAKE IT YOUR TOP PRIORITY..." A speaker notes, "LOST ALL OUR EXECUTIVES AND DEVIL FRUIT USERS!" Another adds, "ALMOST ALL OF THE EXECUTIVES ARE DEVIL FRUIT USERS!" A voice calls out, "ROGER THAT!" while others discuss, "ASKED US TO HOLD OFF ON THAT FOR NOW... ISSHOU-SAN HAS... WELL," and "WHAT ABOUT OUR REPORT TO HEADQUARTERSI" The feed shows chained figures and a screen displaying a crowd. A voice reports, "SOMETHING FROM KING DOFLAMINGOI THAT GUY GIVES ME THE CREEPS..." Another reacts, "WHAT IS IT!I" The transmission reveals, "LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A TRANSMISSION FEED COMING IN FROM DRESSROSA!" with the label "NEIGHBORING COUNTRY APPLE NINE ISLAND" and the note "WE ARE BROADCASTING FROM DRESSROSA..." amid static "ビビビ" and crowd reactions.

A Marine Vice Admiral named Maynard appears on a broadcast screen, shouting amid static. "WHAT'S WITH ALL THE RUBBLE BEHIND HIMI" "I AM MARINE HQ VICE ADMIRAL..." "WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ITS NEIGHBORING THREE COUNTRIES!" The screen cuts to a wide view of the devastated Dressrosa capital. "IS THE CURRENT STATE OF DRESSROSA!" "WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT..." The crowd gasps in shock. "WHAAAT!I" Maynard orders, "TAKE ONE OF THE VIDEO DEN DEN'S AND, AS ORDERED, GO AFTER ISSHOU!" A marine replies, "GOOD! I'LL FILL THEM IN ON ALL THE DETAILS..." Inside the broadcast, narration states, "IT SEEMS WE'RE TRANSMITTING SMOOTHLY TO THE THREE COUNTRIES... INSIDE THE VIDEO DEN DEN MUSHI'S BROADCAST RANGE!" A citizen yells, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED OVER THERE!I"

King Riku Doldo stands amid the ruins, hair wild, declaring, "THOUGH MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN DISPELLED, I SIMPLY CANNOT RETURN TO THE THRONE." The crowd pleads, "NO, PLEASE... DON'T SAY THAT, I BEG OF YOU, KING RIKU-SAMA!" Riku continues, "WAIT A MINUTE... WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT, THOSE OF THE RIKU CLAN ARE PUSHOVERS. RECENT EVENTS ARE NOTHING IF NOT PROOF OF THAT VERY FACT." Citizens shout back, "WHAT IF... WHAT IF EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY WAS WITH YOUI THEN WOULD YOU CONSIDER ITI" "WE'RE FED UP WITH VIOLENCE!" "NO! YOU ARE THE RIGHTFUL RULER OF THIS COUNTRY!" Riku answers, "AND IF THAT MEANS THIS COUNTRY GOES UNDER, WELL... WE CAN ALL LIVE WITH THAT!" The crowd erupts, "WE JUST WANT YOU TO TURN YOUR BACK ON WARS AS THE 'KING THAT REFUSES TO FIGHT!'" "WE DON'T CARE IF WE MEET OUR DOOM!"

The crowd cheers wildly, "ELIZA-BELLO! GAHAHAHA! AS A 'KING THAT FIGHTS,' YOU'RE KILLIN' ME OVER HERE!" "PLEASE, KING RIKU-SAMA!" "YES, KING RIKU-SAMA!" "WE DON'T CARE IF WE HAVE TO LIVE IN POVERTY... JUST MAKE DRESSROSA THE COUNTRY OF PEACE IT ONCE WAS!" A man laughs, "WAHAHA! IT'S CAUSE I TIPPED 'EM OFF AHEAD OF TIME..." "KING RIKU'S BACK," I TOLD 'EM! THEY'RE ALL TICKLED PINK!" The broadcast continues, "THE DEN DEN MUSHI HAVE BEEN RINGING NON-STOP PLEASE, YOU WITH CALLS FROM THE KINGS OF OUR NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES! KING RIKU-SAMA! YOU MUST HURRY BACK TO THE PALACE!" Citizens ask, "WHERE'D THAT KING GOI" "DON'T KEEP EVERYONE WAITING NOW!" Riku reflects, "I REMEMBER A KING READY TO STARE DOWN OTHER COUNTRIES, ALL OF HUMANITY, EVEN, IF IT MEANT HE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO WAR!" "THESE PAST 10 YEARS REALLY HAVE DONE A NUMBER ON YOU, HAVEN'T THEYI" The crowd roars, "THE KING OF PRUDENCE!"

King Riku's face fills the frame, scarred and intense. Citizens cry, "THE KING OF MIRACLES, RIKU DOLD!" "BRING HIM BACK!" Fujitora appears among the crowd, stating, "I WOULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF YOU FELT LIKE YOU BORE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT!" "THIS INCIDENT WITH DOFLAMINGO..." Voices call, "FUJI-TORA!" "KING RIKU-DONO!" "IT'S JUST AS HE SAYS," A narration box reads, "CITIZENS OF DRESSROSA... MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, SUBJUGATED NONE OTHER THAN THE WORLD GOVERNMENT ITSELF! MADE HIMSELF THE KING OF THE COUNTRY, AND IN ITS LANDS, EXPLOITING THE SYSTEM OF THE 'OUKA SHICHIBUKAI,' THAT VILE PIRATE..."

Narration boxes detail the downfall: "THE DOWN-FALL OF THE UNDERWORLD BROKER, DOFLAMINGO..." and "THE FALSE MAJESTY OF THE POWER DRESSROSA APPEARED TO POSSESS BELIED ITS DARKER, TRUE IDENTITY..." The crowd reacts in shock with cries of "UAAHH...!!!" and "GET THAT TO PRESS! IT REALLY HAS... HIT THE FAN OVER THERE IN DRESSROSA!" More narration reveals: "AND THE PROSTRATE APOLOGY OF MARINE HQ ADMIRAL FUJITORA!" "WILL FINALLY NOW BE REVEALED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD!" "THE HUGE INCIDENT CONFINED INSIDE THAT CAGE..." "THE PIRATE ALLIANCE OF THOSE TWO HAS BROUGHT DOWN DOFLAMINGO!" In the massive central panel, Admiral Fujitora stands tall in his dark coat, facing away from the viewer, while a massive figure lies prostrate on the shattered plaza before him. Fujitora declares in large speech bubbles, "I ASK MOST HUMBLY FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS! IN PLACE OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENT." The prostrated man, Doflamingo, remains bowed low amid rubble and smoke. Smaller reaction panels show stunned faces, including a wide-eyed fishman-like figure labeled "GLARE" and another character shouting "IT KILLS ME... TO KNOW THAT WE'RE THE ONES WHO PUT YOU THROUGH THIS...!" A final panel erupts with "WHAAAA!I" as the chapter ends.
