Believing in Me

A vibrant color splash page shows Monkey D. Luffy leaping through a lush jungle canopy, reaching toward sunlight beams and a waterfall. A woman with long dark hair in a pink hooded outfit stands nearby with arm raised. Credits list Eiichiro Oda, cleaning, redrawing, typesetting, and translation teams. A notice box warns against rehosting and directs readers to official volumes.

Explosions rock Wheat Island Soft Flour Town as KRASH! and UWA GH! echo. A distant view shows the island with a donut-shaped structure. Reports arrive: "THE REPORTS OF MIRRORS BREAKING ACROSS THE ISLANDS WON'T STOP COMING IN" and "TO THINK THAT IT'S DRAGGED ON THIS LONG..." A clock reads 9:30. On Whole Cake Island, a man in a top hat exclaims, "I CAN'T BELIEVE HIS FIGHT WITH LORD DOGTOOTH, OF ALL PEOPLE, IN THE MIRROR WORLD HAS GONE ON FOR THIS LONG..." Another growls, "DAMN THAT STRAW HAT... IS HE REALLY THAT STRONGI!" A woman with short hair reacts in shock: "WHATI!" as others discuss, "THAT BIG EXPLOSION... THE BOX WAS WHAT CAUSED THAT." "THE TAMATEBAKO... YOU TOOK IT FROM THE STRAW HATS, RIGHTI" "WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING INTERESTING, FRIENDSI" "WHAT IS IT, LADY STUSSYI!" "OI, LAY OFF IT. THEIR CHANCE OF SURVIVING THIS WILL ONLY TAKE ANOTHER HIT."

A polka-dotted figure declares, "YOU ARE AS PERFECT AND WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS, BROTHER DOGTOOTH!" while hopping in the Mirror World. Gunfire erupts with PEW sounds as a sniper yells, "UGH! YOU POWERLESS FOOLS!" and "AND HOW MANY HAVE YOU HITI" Targets react in panic: "GYAAH!" Snipers complain, "HE'S MOVING SO FAST... WE CAN'T... DAMN IT!" and "WE'VE BEEN SHOOTING FOR A WHILE NOW, BUT..." The polka-dotted figure boasts, "BUT BROTHER KATAKURI IS THE FAVORITE OF ALL 38 OF HIS LITTLE SISTERS!" "AND HE'S BELOVED BY HIS LITTLE BROTHERS AS WELL! I'VE GOT A LOT OF RIVALS!" "I HAVE 41 OLDER BROTHERS!" "AND 40 OF THEM HAVE SELECTED ME AS THE WINNER OF THEIR BEST LITTLE SISTER AWARD! I'M SUPER POPULAR!"

Charlotte Flampe leans forward with a confident smile, declaring, "I AM THE MOST BELOVED LITTLE SISTER! I'M THE GIRL THAT'LL BECOME THE LITTLE SISTER KING!" She adds, "EVERYONE WANTS TO BE DOGTOOTH'S FAVORITE!" A small panel shows her saying "BUT..." as she blows a massive bubble from her bubble gun. Flampe continues, "I'M GOING TO HELP MY BROTHER HERE AND SCORE SOME BROWNIE POINTS!" while striking a pose. Her underlings react in panic as one shouts, "WE UNDERSTAND, LADY FLAMBE," and another cries, "NO ONE GIVES A CRAP ABOUT YOU IDIOTS! WE UNDERLINGS WANT LORD DOGTOOTH TO LOVE US, TOO!" A battered man with a top hat protests, "NO ONE GIVES A CRAP ABOUT YOU IDIOTS!" while being struck. An information box reads: "CHARLOTTE FAMILY, 33RD DAUGHTER (15 YEARS OLD) CHARLOTTE FLAMBE (KATAKURI FAN CLUB LEADER AND SPECIAL FORCES CAPTAIN)." In the lower panels, Flampe laughs "GYAHHAHA! YOU'RE RIGHT!" as she watches the chaos, thinking, "HE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PERFECT!" and "NO ONE SHOULD BEAR WITNESS TO THIS! BESIDES... FOR AN ENEMY TO GIVE MY BROTHER THIS MUCH TROUBLE..."

In the ruined checkerboard hall, voices discuss the ongoing fight: "IT'S JUST THAT HIS OPPONENT IS PERSISTENT! HE'S TAKEN WOUNDS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL MANY TIMES NOW!" and "TRUTH BE TOLD, THOUGH, HE ISN'T EXACTLY 'HAVING TROUBLE'..." Charlotte Flambe smirks while blowing another bubble and taunts, "JUST YOU SEE, YOU BLOOD-SOAKED, FILTHY MONKEY! IT'S PATHETIC. AND YET HE GETS UP EVERY TIME! WAHAHA! IT'S HILARIOUS!" Monkey D. Luffy stands bloodied and exhausted in the distance, breathing heavily with "HAA-" and "WHEEZE" effects. Close-ups show his torn shirt, deep wounds, and strained face as he wheezes again. Flambe's mocking laughter echoes while Luffy remains on his feet despite the injuries.

Explosive action erupts as Luffy is hurled through debris with a massive "BAH!" impact, his body twisting violently amid flying rubble and speed lines. The opponent counters with "FYUN!" and "HAA-" sounds as Luffy is struck again, sending him spinning. A close-up captures Luffy's intense eye and gritted teeth during the clash. The armored fighter lands a heavy blow marked "BAH!" while Luffy is knocked back amid swirling smoke and shattered ground. Motion lines and impact effects fill every panel as the brutal exchange continues without pause.

The armored fighter unleashes a barrage of punches with "GYAHH!" and impact bursts, but Luffy narrowly evades. The fighter's eyes widen in shock: "DID HE JUST TRY TO DODGE THATI!" Luffy is sent flying once more with a massive "BAH!" and "GIRAHH!!" effects. In close-up the fighter snarls, "YOUR BLASTED... WHY WON'T THEY DIEI!" Luffy tumbles across the floor with "STRETCH" motion as he extends an arm, refusing to stay down despite the overwhelming assault.

Luffy is hurled violently through the air by a massive impact, his body twisting as debris explodes around him. "EYES!" flashes across the panel. He crashes down hard, the floor shattering beneath him. In a rapid sequence of blows, Katakuri's fists slam into Luffy's face and body with repeated "BOOM" impacts, sending him reeling. Luffy roars in defiance, "DAAAAG GGHHH!" as he is smashed into the checkered floor, the powerful strike marked by "ボンッ!!" and scattering rubble everywhere.

Luffy pants heavily, "HAA... IS, IN ITSELF, SHAMEFUL." Katakuri looms over him, declaring, "THAT JUST FALLING DOWN I DON'T THINK YOU GET IT. HAA- HAA- HAA... BAAAH! HAGGH HAGGH." Luffy is sent flying again by a crushing blow, "UGG HH!" and "ぱっ!!" marking the hit. He screams "RAAAAGG GGHHHHH!" while unleashing a powerful counterattack with "アアアアア" effects, striking Katakuri repeatedly as the fight intensifies with "GHH!" and "OW-" reactions.

Katakuri delivers a devastating punch, the impact "ドンッ" sending Luffy flying. He explains calmly, "YOU TRIED TO THROW A PUNCH WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, SO I HIT YOUR LEFT SHOULDER. YOU TRIED TO THROW A PUNCH WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND, SO I HIT YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER. FRUSTRATING, ISN'T ITI" Luffy struggles on the ground, "HAA- HAA-" as Katakuri continues, "THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE READ LIKE A BOOK. AND AS A RESULT, YOU'VE BEEN REDUCED TO AN IDIOT THAT CAN ONLY GROW FRUSTRATED." Luffy's eyes widen in realization. Katakuri adds, "I WAS RIGHT... WHILE INFREQUENTLY, HE'S MANAGING TO SEE THE FUTURE, JUST LIKE ME!" Luffy shouts "BUHAH!" while dodging. Katakuri warns, "DON'T JUST FLAIL ABOUT WILDLY, LUFFY! ATTACKS HAVE WILL-POWER BEHIND THEM. AN AURA TO THEM." Luffy breathes heavily, "HAA- HAA- HAA- HAA- FUUU..."

Katakuri stands over the fallen Luffy, declaring, "YOUR BIG PLAN IS NO SECRET TO US. DON'T GET UP ANYMORE." Luffy lies amid debris as Katakuri reveals, "MY LITTLE BROTHERS AND THEIR BATTLESHIPS. AND THEY AWAIT YOU TOO, SHOULD YOU MANAGE TO MAKE IT OUT OF HERE! WAITING FOR THEM ARE... OF COURSE, YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE CRUSHED BEFORE THEY CAN MAKE IT TO CACAO ISLAND. 'CACAO ISLAND AT 1 AM.'" Luffy, still on the ground, questions, "WHATI HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN LISTENINGI" He then vows with determination, "I WILL MAKE IT OUT OF THESE MIRRORS. I PROMISE. HAA... HAA... BUT..."

The crew erupts in triumph aboard Bege's ship as the massive wedding cake stands completed. "WE DID IT!" someone shouts. A sign reads "AT SEA BEGE'S SHIP". "IT'S FINISHED!" another cries. The towering cake is hailed as "A SUPREME WEDDING CAKE CAPABLE OF STOPPING BIG MOM IN HER TRACKS!" The group cheers wildly with raised fists and victory signs while the cake looms with skull decorations and dripping icing. In the lower panels, Big Mom's subordinates gush over its power: "THE DELICIOUSNESS WILL CARRY YOU STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN, BIG MOM!" "WE DON'T EVEN NEED TO PUT ANY POISON IN IT!" "WHAT A SUBLIME FRAGRANCE...I FEEL FAINT!" "I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE IT!"

Inside the kitchen, exhausted cooks collapse as Pudding and Chiffon arrive. "WHAT A CRUEL COOKING PROCESS..." "THE COOKS ARE FAINTING!" "OI, ARE YOU LOT OKAYI!" Pudding exclaims, "LADY PUDDING! PHEW. I'M SO GLAD... WE MADE IT IN TIME." Sanji, covered in sweat, declares, "I'M SURE I'LL BE ABLE TO SAVE MY FRIENDS! WITH THIS CAKE," while Pudding and Chiffon thank him. "YOU BOTH MADE THIS POSSIBLE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! PUDDING! CHIFFON!" Tension rises as someone yells, "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT, PUDDINGI!" Pudding retorts about the dangers, Sanji responds, "WELL, WE'VE GOTTA GO MEET UP WITH THEM ANYWAY," and Chiffon adds, "I'M WRONG! I'M SO WRONG! HOW COULD I HAVE SAID SUCH A THING..." Sanji finishes with "...MY DEAR."

Sanji races through the mirror world, declaring, "AND DEFINITELY MAKE IT OUT OF THESE MIRRORS! HAA- HAA- BECAUSE THEY'RE..." Luffy stands ready in the distance. On the sea, the cake ship sails as Luffy vows, "I'LL MAKE THE BEST CAKE EVER, AND STOP BIG MOM! BECAUSE THEY'RE..." In a dramatic close-up, Sanji's intense face fills the panel with sweat and gritted teeth. A massive speech bubble declares "BELIEVING IN ME!" as impact lines and sound effects burst around him and Luffy.

Big Mom's massive face looms with a fiery aura, laughing "HAAAA-HAHAHA! MAMA-MAMA!" as she roars "BRROAAAGGGHHH!" The Thousand Sunny is battered by waves while Bege's crew reacts in shock. "EVEN OCEAN WATER WON'T DO A THING!" "SOUL!" "SO THAT'S A YONKOU'S..." Nami stares in horror, "WHA..." A skull-like entity appears. Big Mom taunts, "EHEHEHEHE! RUN, RUN AS FAR AS YOU WISH." The cake ship presses forward as the crew notes, "WE SOMEHOW MADE IT THIS FAR, BUT..." Big Mom continues, "YOUR SHIP IS JUST FILLED WITH MONSTERS, ISN'T ITI" "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT..." Chopper cries, "CHOPPER! IT'S USELESS!" while others shout about the aroma and the break next week. The chapter ends with Big Mom declaring, "NOW, THEN. THE CAKE! IT WAS QUITE FUN."
