Queen's Gamble

A vibrant color splash page presents the Straw Hat crew in a lush jungle setting. Luffy, wearing his straw hat and backpack, stands on a tiger's back and points excitedly forward with a wide grin. Nami stands beside him in a pink fur-trimmed jacket, smiling confidently with one arm raised. A sparkling waterfall cascades behind them as other crew members leap and climb through the trees. Sunlight beams dramatically through the foliage. Credit boxes list the scanlation team: CLEANED BY 2B, ZERO; REDRAWS BY BONES, SENCOKU; TYPESETTING BY RTSD, ZERO; TRANSLATED BY VOXANIMUS; PROVIDED BY FRIEDRICH. A notice box warns readers not to rehost the chapter and encourages purchasing official volumes.

In a tense indoor setting, a silhouetted figure in a top hat shouts, "THOSE COLLARS ARE NO JOKE! I'M SERIOUS!" while pointing toward a stage where a prisoner is bound inside a large circular device marked with skull symbols. The device detonates with a massive "AU" explosion as voices cry "EXPLODE!" and "WE'VE SEEN SLAVES' COLLARS." Luffy, wide-eyed, watches alongside a small girl and others. In close panels the beeping collars on a blonde woman and an older man trigger with repeated "BEEP BEEP BEEP" sounds. The woman looks terrified as the man reassures her, "YOU'RE OKAY. JUST HOLD STILL." Suddenly the collars detonate in violent blasts marked "KRRSSHH!" and "ACTION!" Luffy stares in shock, sweat flying, as the woman is thrown back by the force.

Luffy thrusts both hands forward, fingers splayed, and declares, "WHAT I JUST DID IS WHAT RAYLEIGH DID THAT DAY! THERE'S NO MISTAKING IT!" An intense close-up of Rayleigh's face appears beside him. In the next sequence Luffy is hurled backward by a massive impact labeled "ばんっ!!" while shouting, "I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW EXACTLY I DID IT!" A giant woman with an elaborate headdress and polka-dot outfit roars, "BLAST ASIDE THE FISTS OF THAT GIANT WOMAN!" and "SHOW ME THAT YOU CAN SAVE BOTH OF OUR LIVES!" An elderly man with a skull-adorned hat yells, "WHICH MEANS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP HER!" while another panel states, "STRAW HAT, THE POWER YOU JUST WIELDED... IS ALREADY BEYOND ANY RYOU I COULD EVER TEACH YOU."

Luffy glares forward with intense focus as voices urge him on. "DIRECT YOUR HAKI... DON'T JUST BRUTE FORCE AGAINST IT..." Nearby fighters react in shock: "IS HE STUPIDI!" "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" "IS HE GOING TO JUST TAKE THAT PUNCHI!" Luffy steels himself and shouts, "COME!" The massive opponent roars "RAARRGHH!" while another voice commands, "INTO YOUR FIST!" and cheers, "YOU'VE GOT THIS!" Luffy drives his fist forward in a massive Haki-infused strike. The impact explodes with a huge "GYAA AAH!" as debris and shockwaves erupt around the clash, the opponent's body twisting from the force.

A colossal explosion rocks the ruined cityscape with a massive "ドゴォーン!!" Luffy is hurled backward through the air amid flying debris. Voices cry out in alarm: "LUFFY!" "LUFFY-TARO!" and a strained "...........!!" The massive opponent and nearby Beast Pirates gape in disbelief. Luffy crashes violently as the ground erupts again with "バターン!!!" and "TWITCH TWITCH" effects. The crowd reacts with horror as Luffy lies amid the rubble, the impact still reverberating.

Hyogoro shouts desperately, "GRAMPS!" as Luffy is sent flying, yelling "WAGH! MY BAD, GRAMPS! I MESSED UP THAT PUNCH!" and "DON'T DIE ON ME!" while straining with "STRAIN STRAIN." Luffy lands hard, coughing, "I- I MANAGED TO... GUARD MYSELF WITH RYUO..." Hyogoro explains, "IS THE RYUO THAT YOU COVER THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY WITH. IN OTHER WORDS, HAKI." Luffy protests, "OI! DON'T TALK! YOU'LL DIE!" Hyogoro continues, "THE THING I CAN TEACH YOU... COUGH" and "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU! YOU ATE IT ALL..." while noting "THE OSHIRUKO I WAS GOING TO SHARE!" He adds, "SO YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, HUH..." and describes the advanced technique: "IS THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE HAKI YOU'VE CLAD YOURSELF IN ENTER YOUR ENEMY AND DESTROY THEM FROM THE INSIDE OUT!" and "THAT IS FAR MORE POWERFUL!!" A close-up shows the internal destruction effect on a metal collar.

Hyogoro continues explaining, "CLADDING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY IN HAKI. YOU'VE ALREADY MASTERED" and "YOU DESTROYED IT FROM THE INSIDE OUT WITH YOUR HAKI!" while pointing out the broken steel collar. He declares, "YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THIS!" Luffy reacts with shock, "NGHH!" and "GRAMPS!!" as Hyogoro's face twists in pain. In the distance, a figure watches. The fight resumes with a massive impact as Luffy charges again. Hyogoro yells, "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!" and "FIGHT WELL, STRAW HAT!" while Luffy shouts "OWAGH!!" and leaps with "JUMP!" amid flying debris and "カク..." effects.

Inside the Udon Prisoner's Ironworks, alarms blare as violent tremors shake the facility. A guard shouts, "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS CAUSING THESE TREMORSI!" Another replies, "WELL... THE BOSS SMAIL HAS DISAPPEARED SOMEWHERE!" A third demands, "WHY CAN'T WE REACH THEMI!" A cloaked figure with a staff mutters, "AH." The ironworks gate marked "鉄 02" stands in the background. Suddenly the ground erupts in a massive explosion. A huge figure bursts through debris, roaring "WAAAA AAAIT!" and "AARRR GHHHH!" as guards and prisoners are flung aside amid flying wreckage and impact lines.

Big Mom rampages with a furious "BIG MOOOMI!" as she smashes through structures. Beast Pirates panic: "BUT WHAT SHOULD WE DOI! IF EVEN LORD QUEEN DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST HER..." "THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM!" "THAT'S WHERE THE BLAST FURNACE IS!" "SHE'S DESTROYED THE DOORS, AND IS HEADED INTO THE PRISONER'S IRONWORKS NEXT DOOR!" "HOW CAN WE EVER HOPE TO STOP HERI!" Queen appears in a large panel, declaring, "I'VE GOT A PLAN. WE'VE GOT ONE SHOT. LISTEN CLOSELY, BOYS. I WON'T LET THAT OLD HAG HAVE HER WAY." He adds, "LORD QUEEN!" and "WANO COUNTRY IS LORD KAIDO'S TERRITORY."

Queen continues, "SHE'S JUST GOING TO RUN A LAP THROUGH UDON! SHE'LL BE BACK HERE SOON ENOUGH! THINK OF BIG MOM... AS A WILD BOAR!" A shirtless prisoner with a scar on his chest reacts with shock. A large reptilian creature warns, "HERE SHE COMES, LORD QUEEN!" as Big Mom smashes through the blast furnace area with "ズドォォォォン!!" The prisoner stares in alarm while debris and smoke fill the air.

Explosions rock the area with "BOOM!" and massive impact effects. The reptilian creature is struck and sent flying. Multiple panels show chaotic reactions: a horned figure with X eyes, a striped creature, and others recoiling. Queen is hurled backward yelling "OSHIRUKOI!" while a pot labeled "POT: OSHIRUKO" flies through the air. A voice cries "おしるこI" as more figures tumble amid "ゴゴゴゴゴ..." and "はッッ!!" effects. The destruction spreads across the ironworks grounds.

A massive close-up shows Queen’s furious face twisted in rage, eyes bulging and teeth bared. Smaller panels capture frantic reactions: a wide eye, a shocked gasp, and a tiny figure shouting “MAMA… MAMA…”. Queen’s enormous arm swings down as he roars “BRACHIO… BOMBER!”, smashing into Big Mom with a devastating impact that sends debris flying. Big Mom’s eyes roll back as she is struck. Below, a crowd of Beast Pirates and prisoners erupts in cheers: “LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! THE SAVIOR OF WANO!” and “HE DID IT! HE GOT HER!”. A battered figure in the corner mutters about falling into the ocean after being separated from everyone. Queen stands triumphant amid the wreckage.

Queen looms over the scene, glaring as someone off-panel asks, “YOU’RE KAIDO’S LACKEY, QUEEN, WAS ITI”. He growls back while the speaker continues, “WHY WON’T YOU FALL, YOU OLD COOTI!” and “N-NO WAY! YOU’RE JOKING!”. A calm voice replies, “I SEE… I… REMEMBER EVERYTHING.” Big Mom’s massive form begins to rise, her expression shifting as the crowd panics: “WE’RE DEAD.”, “WAA AGG GHHH!”, “HER WHOLE VIBE’S CHANGED! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENEDI!”, and “WE’RE FINISHED! THERE’S NO WAY SHE’S A MONSTER!”. Queen stares in shock as Big Mom’s ship crashes into the water nearby. A small creature snores loudly amid the chaos.

Big Mom’s enormous face fills the panel as she screams “ROGERRR!” while orders fly: “BRING 100% SEASTONE HANDCUFFS AND CHAINS! WRAP HER IN THEM 100 TIMES, AND INJECT HER WITH 100 DOSES OF BEAST TRANQUILIZER!”. More commands echo: “TRANSPORT BIG MOM TO ONIGA-SHIMA! THIS IS A SUPER-HIGH-ALERT PRIORITY!”, “LITERALLY EVERY SECOND COUNTS!”, “IF THIS MONSTER WAKES UP AGAIN, KNOW THAT WE’RE DEAD MEAT!”, and “LEAVE BEHIND ONLY AS MANY GUARDS AS ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! EVERYONE ELSE, GET ON!”. Queen shouts at Babanuki, “BABANUKI! I’M LEAVING EVERYTHING HERE TO YOU!” while Babanuki replies, “YES! I’LL HANDLE THIS! BUT THERE IS STILL ONE GUY THAT I’M WORRIED…”. Emergency gates are ordered shut and prisoners are to be locked down.

Big Mom is hauled away on a massive transport, roaring “RAAAAR RRGGHH!” as the ship speeds toward Onigashima. The Queen’s ship unfurls its sails with the name “QUEEN” visible; crew members shout “FULL SPEED AHEAD!”, “ANCHORS AWEIGH!”, and “HURRY! GET ON THE BOAT!”. Below in Udon, a group watches the departing vessels. One figure says “HUUU UHHHI! LET’S GO!” while another notes, “HM. THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO! WE PROMISED THEM THAT WE’D WAIT HERE!”. A young woman with a dragon companion exclaims, “MOMO! THE GATE’S CLOSING!” as massive gates begin to shut.

Smoke and rubble fill the ruined landscape of Udon as distant figures survey the destruction. Voices call out in alarm: "UDON'S BEEN TOTALLY CUT OFF FROM THE REST OF WANO!" "WE STILL CAN'T REACH ANYONE!" "AND COMMSI!" "THEY'VE CLOSED THEM ALL!" "THE GATESI!" "WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENSI!" "WE HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING ANYONE!" A close-up shows a horned face replying, "OH, RIGHT. HE WAS JUST FREED." In the next panel a masked fighter wonders, "WITH BIG MOM AND BALLOON GONE, I WON'T REALLY HAVE ANYONE TO FIGHT, BUT..." A massive shirtless warrior turns in surprise, "HUHI! WHO THE HELL ARE YOUI!" "!I" "WHICH MEANS I CAN GO WILD!" At the center of the page Monkey D. Luffy grins fiercely, hands clasped, declaring, "I'LL BE TAKING UDON NOW." "I'VE BEEN FREE FOR A MINUTE. NOW, COUNTER-ATTACK!" Impact lines and large sound effects burst around him as he prepares to strike.
