Beyond the Expectations of a Yonkou

A vibrant color spread shows Monkey D. Luffy in his straw hat and blue shirt leaping energetically through a lush jungle canopy, arm outstretched. Beside him stands Nico Robin in a pink hooded outfit, smiling. Other Straw Hat crew members move through the misty forest below a cascading waterfall. Scanlation credits list cleaners, redrawers, typesetters, and translators. A notice box warns against rehosting and directs readers to official volumes.

A full-page collage displays dozens of intense pirate faces crowding the frame. At the bottom center, Monkey D. Luffy smiles broadly in his straw hat, surrounded by glaring, shouting, and smirking figures wearing bandanas, helmets, goggles, and captain hats. The dense arrangement of expressions and poses fills every inch of the page with no dialogue or narration boxes present.

Katakuri stands tall in the upper panel, twirling his massive spear so the tip swivels toward the viewer. A voice states, "MOST PEOPLE..." The narration continues, "THE TIP OF THE SPEAR SWIVELS TOWARDS HIM..." In the middle panel inside a checkered hall, Katakuri declares, "DEATHS ARE, FOR THE MOST PART, UNWANTED OCCURRENCES. DO NOT DIE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO." Luffy lies sprawled amid rubble in the distance. Below, Brulee shouts in panic, "IT'S BRULEE!" while a voice urges, "THAT'S RIGHT! HURRY UP AND GET KILLED ALREADY, STRAW HAT!" Luffy reacts with shock as another figure cries "WIWIWI!" and an unseen speaker grunts "NNNGGG GHHHH!"

Brulee yells excitedly, "SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN, THIS MAN HAS NEVER ONCE FALLEN! HE'S SUPER-HUMAN!" Katakuri stands calmly holding his spear. She continues, "WIWI! BROTHER DOGTOOTH, YOU SEE, ISN'T JUST YOUR AVERAGE UNDEFEATED FIGHTER!" Katakuri replies, "ENOUGH, BRULEE." Brulee praises further, "ALWAYS GALLANT, CALM-HEADED, AND POWERFUL. EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM IS PERFECT. THAT'S THE KIND OF PERSON OUR BROTHER DOGTOOTH IS! THE VERY MOMENT HE WAS BORN, HE GOT UP, SAT HIMSELF DOWN IN A CHAIR, AND FELL ASLEEP. AND FROM THAT LEGENDARY BEGINNING, NEVER ONCE HAS HE EVER LAID DOWN! HE LOOKS DOWN ON THE GROUND ON HIS OWN!" Luffy lunges forward shouting "GET LOST!" as Brulee screams "SHUT UP ALREADY!" and a voice exclaims, "HE'S THE GREATEST FRUIT THE CHARLOTTE FAMILY TREE HAS EVER PRODUCED! I'M SHOCKED THAT A LOW-LIFE LIKE YOU HAS THE GALL TO EVEN CHALLENGE HIM!"

Luffy charges with wide eyes, yelling "BROTHER!" as Katakuri blocks with his spear, warning, "DON'T YOU DARE LAY YOUR HAND ON MY SISTER." Impact lines and "FWIP!" mark the clash. In the next spread, Luffy's fist connects with Katakuri's face in a massive "BUHH!" explosion of force and motion lines. Katakuri is sent flying backward, his body twisting from the blow. The final panels show Katakuri recoiling with "MOCHI!" and "!!" effects as debris scatters and Luffy presses the attack.

Luffy glares with intense focus as he unleashes his attack, shouting "MOCHI POUNDING." The mochi-bodied fighter counters with a powerful thrust that sends Luffy flying back in shock. The impact creates massive destruction as the mochi spear pierces through structures, with Luffy yelling "WAA AGH!" amid flying debris and shockwaves. In the aftermath, Luffy emerges from rubble, reacting with "HMI!" and "T- THAT WAS CLOSE!" as cracks spread across the ground and walls around him.

A massive checkered mochi sphere explodes outward with tremendous force, sending debris flying as Luffy reacts with "!!I". Katakuri grips his trident-like spear named "MOLE" and declares, "ARMSI LEGSI TELL ME WHICH PARTS OF YOUR BODY YOU DON'T NEED ANYMORE. I'LL TEAR THEM OFF." Luffy stands ready in the background. Another figure laughs "WIWIWI! I HEARD EVERYTHING, STRAW HAT! I KNOW ABOUT YOUR RENDEZVOUS POINT!" while Katakuri's allies shout "SHUT IT ALREADY, LADY! HIS NECK, BROTHER! START THERE!"

Big Mom rides a massive wave creature across the sea inside her territory, with Brûlée perched behind her. She questions "ARE YOU SURE, BRÛLÉEI!" as Brûlée replies "YES! I HEARD THEIR VOICES!" Big Mom's children clamor about playing the wave game again. Below, a subordinate reports in panic, "HOW IN THE WORLD COULD THEY HAVE ESCAPED... THIS CANDY MONSTER CREATED A TSUNAMI AND SENT THEM TO THE DEPTHS!" Big Mom grins widely and declares, "THAT'S WHAT THEY PROMISED STRAW HAT LUFFY! I'M SURE OF IT! THAT IS, WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THAT'S ALSO OUR FINAL DESTINATION! THEY'RE ALIVE, AND TONIGHT, THEY'LL SHOW UP ON CACAO ISLAND!"

Big Mom laughs triumphantly, "BU HA HA! MAMA! YOUR PRECIOUS CAKE IS ON CACAO ISLAND! PUDDING'S MAKING THE CAKE ON CACAO... ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, THAT'S WHERE ALL THIS WILL COME TO A HEAD!" Her subordinates panic, shouting "THEIR SHIP DIDN'T GO THERE! WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GET SIDETRACKED! THAT'S NUTS ISLAND!" and "WAIT A SECOND! WHERE ARE YOU GOING, MAMAI!" Big Mom roars "THE CAKE WAS TAKEN TO CACAO ISLAND!" The scene shifts to a violent assault on Mirror Island, with explosions, "WOAGH!", "GYAH!", and "WAH!" as the checkered mochi sphere smashes through structures.

Explosions rip through rocky terrain as Luffy and Katakuri clash violently. Katakuri launches a massive mochi fist that smashes into Luffy, sending debris flying with a loud "ばっ!!" and "HAA-" grunts. Luffy is hurled backward but quickly recovers, charging in with rapid punches. Katakuri counters with a spinning mochi strike labeled "ILFWING" that connects hard. Luffy is slammed into the ground with a heavy "THWAK" and "ドン" impact, his body twisting from the force as dust and rocks scatter.

Katakuri unleashes "FLOWING MOCHI!" stretching his arm in a powerful strike while Luffy dodges repeatedly. Luffy shouts "DAMN IT! HE ALWAYS ATTACKS AGAIN IN THE DIRECTION I DODGE TO!" Katakuri's face appears close, declaring "ARE YOU AWAKENED." and "OF COURSE, MY POWERS. IT'S THAT THING DOPLAMINGO DID!" Luffy responds with "SAME HERE. I'M GETTING TWICE AS BEAT!" and activates his power, yelling "I'M INTRIGUED. GEAR FOURTHI" as he bites his arm. Katakuri notes "THE GROUND BECAME MOCHI!" and complains "PEOPLE DON'T DODGE MY ATTACKS THIS MUCH. IT'S STRESSING ME OUT." Luffy is grabbed by mochi with a "もっちぃ!!" sound.

In Whole Cake Island Sweet City, a massive sea cucumber-like creature roars "ROA AAAR!" while a sign reads "WHOLE CAKE ISLAND SWEET CITY". A man in a hat yells "I CAN'T GET ANY INFORMATION ON THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE STRAW HATS' SHIP! WHAT ARE THE SEA CUCUMBER TRANSMITTERS DOINGI!" Another figure shouts "ROOO OAAAA AAR! SHUT UP ALREADY, PEKOMS! HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA WAILI!" A suited man with a skull cane states "THERE'S ENOUGH IN OUR NETWORK THAT YOU'D PROBABLY HIT ONE IF YOU JUST CHUCKED A STONE AT RANDOM... THERE'S NO WAY THAT THEIR SHIP CAN PASS THROUGH THAT COMPLETELY UNDETECTED!" Nearby, a lion-like mink (Pekoms) cries out "ROOO OAAAA AAR!" and later "BIG BRO PEDROOO OOOO!" while others discuss Pedro's sacrifice and the Straw Hats leading a new dawn.

The discussion continues among the group overlooking the ruined Sweet City. One character says "I BELIEVE WE MAY HAVE SEVERELY UNDERESTIMATED STRAW HAT LUFFY-OISSAN!" Another replies "SO WHATI!" while recounting "THAT MAN SAW FIT TO LAY DOWN HIS OWN LIFE TO LET THOSE PIRATES SET SAIL! I THINK BACK TO PEDRO AS HE WAS 5 YEARS AGO, CRYING AND BEGGING TO BE SPARED!" They dismiss the sea cucumbers as an accident and note "LOOK AT THE RUINS OF MAMA'S CASTLE STREWN AROUND YOU! CAN YOU STILL SAY THATI! YEAH RIGHT. PIRATES ARE NO BIG DEAL." The suited man angrily retorts "WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO SAYI! THAT THEY PLANNED ALL OF THIS FROM THE STARTI!" as the group reflects on the Straw Hats' unexpected impact.

High-ranking Big Mom Pirates officers react with alarm to sudden news. A long-beaked figure in a top hat declares, "WE CANNOT AFFORD EVEN THE SMALLEST CHANCE OF MAMA'S NAME BEING BESMIRCHED. WE SHOULD DISPATCH POWERFUL SHIPS TO THE FURTHEST REACHES OF OUR TERRITORY!" Another voice adds, "THE PROUD RULER SOON LOSES HIS CROWN!" Below, a striped-suited man with wild hair shouts, "DID HE END HIMI HE WAS CHASING BEGE, WASN'T HE... LORD MONT D'OR! A CALL FROM LORD CUSTARD!" A pair of identical figures react with "PRRRRRRR!" as chaos erupts. An officer yells, "INVESTIGATE THE SEA FLOOR AT ONCE!" while another screams, "ROGER! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ONI!" A calm report follows: "IT SEEMS THE SEA CUCUMBER TRANSMITTERS HAVE STOPPED RELAYING INFORMATION ON THEIR LOCATION, AND... NO... IT SEEMS THEY'VE LOST SIGHT OF HIS SHIP!"

The Firetank Pirates' massive ship, Nostra Castello, sails through rough seas. A voice reports, "IT LOOKS LIKE THEIR SEA CUCUMBERS AREN'T REACTING TO OUR DEN DEN MUSHI! I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING!" Another adds, "THERE SHOULD BE MORE OF THEM COMING AFTER US. INSIDE BIG MOM TERRITORY AT SEA, BEGE'S GROUP." The captain, wearing a tall hat and smoking a cigar, grins widely and roars, "WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO CHIFFON! AS THE CROW FLIES! BUT IT SURE IS CONVENIENT! HURRY! TO CACAO ISLAND!" A subordinate confirms, "JUST WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR! THEIR ENTIRE COUNTRY IS IN SHAMBLES! OUR TEN-THOUSAND-STRONG FORCE DECAPITATED THEM! BROTHER! WHAT'S THE SITUATION WITH THE GERMA! REPORTING IN FROM THE GERMA'S SHIP, NUSS TORTE!" The captain replies with a grin, "BUT DON'T TELL ME..."

Germa Kingdom forces stand amid the ruins of a massive castle. A blond man in a black cloak says, "TO BE HONEST, WE ACCIDENTALLY LET THEM SET OFF! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STRAW HATSI" Another replies, "WELL, THEY SHOULD BE FLEEING STRAIGHT WEST. THEY'RE BEING DEALT WITH IN A MATTER OF TIME." A massive explosion rocks the area as a cloaked figure laughs, "WAHAHA! THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE! THOSE DAMN GERMA! THEY SHOULD CURSE THEIR STARS FOR HAVING RUN AFOUL OF US! HOWEVER, EVERYTHING ELSE IS BARELY RECOGNIZABLE!" A voice questions, "OF COURSE NOT! THOSE WERE WHAT WE WERE AFTER. YOU DIDN'T DESTROY THEIR CLONING SYSTEMS, DID YOUI" The leader orders, "MOVE OUT! READY THE SHIPS!" A panel reads "A PEERLESS FORCE! THE GERMA 66!" while the chapter ends with "ONE PIECE CH. 882 / END".

A dramatic color splash page shows the mink warrior Pedro in a fierce, fiery close-up. His bandaged head and wild mane blaze against an explosive red-and-yellow background as he roars with a cigar clenched in his teeth. Large stylized Japanese text "ペドロ" dominates the lower half of the page. The illustration captures his intense glare and battle-ready expression amid flames and smoke, marking a key visual highlight for the chapter.

A detailed grayscale sketch on a spiral-bound notebook depicts Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law side by side. Luffy wears his signature straw hat with a red band, eyes wide and mouth set in a firm line as he holds up fingers. Law, with his spotted hat and goatee, leans in close with a serious gaze, also forming hand signs. Large block letters spelling 'HAT' appear on the left side of the drawing. The sketchbook rests on a surface amid art supplies including a black marker, white marker, and colored pencils.
