At Fishman Island's Ryugu Kingdom palace, a dragon-shaped structure rises amid coral and sea life. A large panel shows the ornate castle with a sign reading 'FISHMAN ISLAND RYUGU KINGDOM RYUGU CASTLE' and notes on the state of affairs. A speech bubble states, 'WELL, THAT BRINGS AN END TO OUR LONG JOURNEY!' Another says, 'THANK YOU SO MUCH, LUFFY'S GRANDFATHER!' In the lower scene, Shirahoshi the mermaid sits on a throne-like shell, surrounded by fish and sea creatures. Dialogue continues: 'WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY NO TO A LITTLE TEA, BUT WITH THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE...' 'I DON'T THINK I COULD STAY FOR MUCH LONGER!' 'WELL, GARP, YOU SHOULD ALSO PUT YOUR FEET UP FOR A LITTLE BEFORE LEAVING.' 'I'M EXHAUSTED.' 'YOU'RE PROBABLY PRETTY TIRED, NEPTUNE. BUWAHAHAHA!' A small inset shows a cloaked figure with '正々堂々' on the back. Narration notes, 'REVERIE ALWAYS STIRS UP A RUCKUS.'

At the round table, representatives of the nations debate the Reverie. One king with a top hat and club declares, "AND THEY SET THEIR SUBORDINATES AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS. RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY ARE BUT TOOLS IN THESE FIGHTS." Another adds, "THE STRONG COUNTRIES ARE CONSTANTLY STARING EACH OTHER DOWN," while a third notes, "EACH HAS THEIR OWN PROBLEMS AT HOME." A voice concludes, "THERE'S NO WAY THAT 50-PLUS COUNTRIES COULD EVER GATHER IN ONE PLACE AND ALL AGREE TO JUST 'CONTINUE GET ALONG.'" The discussion turns to equality: "HOW MANY KINGS ARE ACTUALLY WILLING TO SPEAK FOR THEIR PEOPLE, OR FOR LESS FORTUNATE NATIONSI" and "EVEN IF THEY DO MANAGE TO JOIN HANDS, THESE COUNTRIES'LL SMILE WHILE STEPPING ON EACH OTHER'S FEET." A large caption reads "PRECLUDE REAL EGALITARIANISM." Differences in wealth and religion are highlighted. One king sips from a cup, remarking on the sorry state of the tables. Another states, "I SAY WE HAVE PEACE," with the reply, "WELL, AS LONG AS NO BLOOD IS SPILLED," followed by "BUT THIS YEAR... WAS BAD." A final voice adds, "AND HISTORY BETWEEN NATIONS MEANS THE ROOTS OF GRUDGES TO RUN DEEP. I AGREE THAT CONVERSATIONS AMONG KINGS ARE RATHER TOUCHY."

A young woman with long hair receives a report aboard a ship: "I RECEIVED THE REPORT WHILE ABOARD." The incident occurred right after their ship departed and Reverie adjourned. A stern fish-man-like figure apologizes, "I APOLOGIZE FOR TELLING YOU ALL SO LATE, BUT... THE TRUTH IS THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT YOU HAVE NOT YET BEEN MADE AWARE OF." In a grand underwater hall with a crown and throne, the mermaid princess pleads, "I JUST ASK THAT YOU... NOT LET THIS COLOR YOUR OPINION OF US HUMANS ABOVEGROUND." The scene shows chaos with fish-men, a top-hatted figure, and a large fish-like creature. A voice explains, "THE MARINES ARE CURRENTLY SPARING NO EFFORT TO SEE THE SITUATION RESOLVED." The young woman, identified as Miss Vivi, reacts in shock: "MISS VIVII!" and "NO... THE INCIDENT INVOLVES THE KINGDOM OF ALABASTA."

Pangaea Castle stands tall with the caption "MARY GEOISE PANGAEA CASTLE." Narration states, "AMIDST THE SETTLING TUMULT OF THIS YEAR'S HAPPENINGS, THE PRESENT DAY ONE WEEK HAS PASSED SINCE REVERIE'S ADJOURNMENT." Representatives of each country make their separate ways home. The scene shifts to the bustling office of the World Economic News. Phones ring with "PRRRR!" as staff shout, "GET ME A KICKIN' TITLE FOR THIS!" "HOW IN THE WORLD CAN SO MUCH STUFF HAPPEN AT ONCE!" "IT'S INCIDENT AFTER INCIDENT!" and "WHICH OF THESE STORIES ARE WE GOING TO PUT ON THE FRONT PAGEI!" A large sign reads "WE NEWS, INC." Morgans' silhouette appears as the president considers the news. The page ends with "LET US TURN BACK THE CLOCK A LITTLE."

Morgans, president of World Economic News, Inc., declares, "THE RESULTS OF THE CONFERENCE WOULD BE PERFECT TOO! AND THE FACT THAT THE KILLER HASN'T BEEN FOUND SETS THE HEART AFLUTTER! BUT, THAT THERE HAVE BEEN CASUALTIES! NEWS OF DEATH SELLS LIKE HOTCAKES!" Staff react with "OHOI A FAT CHECK!" and "PRESIDENT! A DELIVERY FROM THE GOVERNMENT!" Morgans questions an information suppression order. He orders, "LET'S GO WITH A DOUBLE A-SIDE! RUN FRONT PAGE ARTICLES ON PAGE 2, TOO!" A government agent warns, "YOU ARE TO DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD, MORGANS." Morgans laughs wildly, "KUWAHAHAHA! SEND THIS BACK! THERE'S NO WAY I'LL LET THIS INCIDENT BE BURIED!" while staff protest with "NO, NO."

A checkered airship marked BIG NEWS hovers as panicked voices cry out. "HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN UNDER WATCHI!" "KYAAH!" "THUMP! THUMP!" "UWAGH! IT'S CIPHER POL!" Big News Morgans, the massive bird journalist in top hat and checkered coat, looms over a pinned man and declares, "BUT BEFORE THAT, I'M A JOURNALIST! I AM A SLAVE TO MY POCKETBOOK, THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU STEP UP TO BIG NEWS MORGANS!" He continues, "AND, AT TIMES, I'M A DJ OF THE WRITTEN WORD! I MAKE THE PUBLIC DANCE WITH LIES! BUT I DECIDE WHICH LIES I PUBLISH!" A subordinate reports, "PRESIDENT! YOU JUST BEAT UP A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL!" Another warns, "MORGANS! KING WAPOL HAS JUST CONTACTED US! IT SEEMS HE HAS SOME LEAKED INFORMATION." Morgans reacts with shock, "WHAAATI!" then orders, "GOTCHA! TIME TO MOVE SHOP! BOYS! LOOKS LIKE THIS PLACE AIN'T SAFE ANYMORE!"

The news spreads like wildfire. "SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. THE PEOPLE WERE IN SHOCK." Citizens read papers in shock across city streets. Narration adds, "THE NEWS OF THE DECISIONS OF THE KINGS AT REVERIE AND THE HAPPENINGS THAT OCCURRED THERE. IN ADDITION TO THE STORY OF THE INCIDENT THAT THE GOVERNMENT TRIED AND FAILED TO SUPPRESS." A massive explosion erupts as someone screams, "THERE'S NO WAY! IS THIS A JOKEI! THIS IS SABOOOOO! THIS IS THE WEN, RIGHTI! BLAST THAT STUFFED UP CHICKEN OF A PRESIDENT!" Revolutionary Army headquarters label appears as a voice cries, "KAMABAKKA KINGDOM... WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON-BURUI!" Koala stares in disbelief, "SABO..." while Dragon grits his teeth, "WE'VE GOT TO CONFIRM THE SITUATION! FIRST THINGS FIRST..." A star-eyed revolutionary shouts, "THIS IS SABO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!"

Koala whispers, "No... THIS CAN'T BE... SABO..." while gazing at the distant castle. A crowned figure yells, "HOW CAN WE CONFIRM WHAT'S GOING ONI! WE CAN'T REACH ANY OF THEM." Another cries, "MY BROTHERI! HE WAS IN MARY GEOISEI!" A ship labeled GOA KINGDOM ROYAL SHIPS sails past. In Makino's bar in Goa Kingdom Fuschia Village, patrons react: "I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S CLOSED TODAY. I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL HEARD THE NEWS ALREADY. SABO... HE'S... WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH MAKINOI I WANNA DRINK, DAMN IT!" A child toddles, "DAA DAA!" as the village sign stands visible.

A frantic man clutches the paper, "PLEASE! TELL ME THIS IS SOME KIND OF JOKE! SABOOOO!" Nearby, revolutionaries react with shock, "WE JUST FOUND OUT HE WAS ALIVE!" A prisoner in Impel Down laughs, "THINGS ARE HEATING UP! NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN THIS WORLD! FUFFUF FUFFU!" while underwater prison scenes show chained inmates. Blackbeard appears in close-up, grinning wildly, "IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE PICKED UP BY THE MARINES, I'LL JUST GRAB 'EM FIRST! OI! BOYS! TO SEA!" A sign marks PIRATE ISLAND BEEHIVE as he laughs, "ZEHAHA HAHA..."

Present day, somewhere at sea. Two Marine ships sail through misty waters. Coby speaks into a Den Den Mushi: "IT'S ME, COBY." The voice on the other end replies, "AH... YES, LET ME GO SOMEWHERE ELSE." Coby continues, "UM... 'SEA.'" "OH YEAH!" "'MIST!'" A Marine officer stands indoors holding the receiver, explaining, "AS WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED, THE MARINES WON'T BE MAKING ANY MOVES. AFTER ALL, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE MEN TO DO SO. SO, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT ON YOUR END, EVEN WITH ALL THE MARINES IN THE WORLD! YES. WE CAN'T KEEP UP! ALL THAT HAPPENEDI!" Coby reacts with shock. The officer adds, "THE MARINES HOPE THAT THE TWO WILL NEUTRALIZE EACH OTHER. I BET. WELL, KAIDO AND BIG MOM WERE AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS YESTERDAY, BUT... ANYWAY, ABOUT BIG MOM ARRIVING AT ONIGASHIMA... BECAUSE WANO ISN'T A WG-ALLIED COUNTRY, HUH... THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING." The scene shifts to the outskirts of Ebisu in Wano Country, showing quiet village buildings under cloudy skies.

X Drake reacts in fury, "WHATI!" "WH- WH- WH- WHA-" "WHAT DO YOU MEANI!" A caption identifies him as "MARINE HQ. TOP-SECRET SPECIAL FORCES 'SWORD' CAPTAIN X DRAKE". He declares, "NOW THEY'VE JOINED HANDS." Coby, labeled "MARINE HQ. REAR ADMIRAL, AND 'SWORD' MEMBER COBY", sweats and stammers, "I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, BUT... WHA-I! WHY ARE THEY IN WANOI! I SAW CPO." In another panel, a figure lounges in a ruined room while speaking, "NO NEWS OF HIS ESCAPE. NO DEVELOPMENTS ON THAT FRONT. AND ABOUT STRAW HAT LUFFY, THE OTHER DAY, IN THE CAPITAL, OH, RIGHT. ONE MORE PIECE OF BAD NEWS."

Marine ships sail through rough seas. A voice says, "WITH THIS PIRATE-RULED COUNTRY. HONESTLY, THE THOUGHT FROZE ME SOLID FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN I FIRST REALIZED. IT SEEMS THE GOVERNMENT IS DEALING" Coby asks into the Den Den Mushi, "WHERE ARE YOU NOWI" The reply states, "THE PIRATE EMPRESS, BOA HANCOCK! HEADING TO NYOGASHIMA. TO ARREST" A massive crowd reacts to the news of the Shichibukai system's abolition. One man shouts, "THE NEWS THAT WAS PERHAPS THE MOST SURPRISING TO THE WORLD BUT THEY'RE ONE OF THE THREE GREAT POWERS OF THE WORLD! IS THIS OKAYI!" A laughing figure exclaims, "HEHEHE! SO THE GOVERNMENT'S DOGS ARE FINALLY BEING CAGED! THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH A LONG TIME AGO! ALLYING WITH PIRATES HAS ALWAYS BEEN WRONG! PIRATE EMPRESSI HAWK EYEI CLOWNI HAH!"

The crowd cheers wildly. A large caption reads, "WAS THE ABOLISHING OF THE SHICHIBUKAI SYSTEM!" Voices yell, "IT SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD BE CAPTURED SOON! AT THE SUMMIT WAR! THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE HELP THOSE PLUNDERERS HAVE BEEN PUSHING THEIR LUCK FOR A WHILE! YAY!" Another panel shows officials in a grand hall: "BUT, AT THE END, IT WAS PASSED BY A SUPER-MAJORITY. THE PROPOSAL, PUT FORWARD BY TWO KINGS WHOSE KINGDOMS HAD SUFFERED GREATLY AT THE HANDS OF THE SHICHIBUKAI, SPARKED HEATED DEBATE." Buggy appears furious, shouting, "IN OTHER WORDS, BUGGY, NOW YOU'RE JUST A LOWLY PIRATE! ANY AND ALL TIES BETWEEN YOU AND THE WORLD GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN SEVERED! YOU OF THE SHICHIBUKAI HAVE BEEN STRIPPED OF ALL THE RIGHTS YOU HAVE HERETOFORE ENJOYED! THUS!" A final caption notes the location: "NEW WORLD KARAI BARI ISLAND".

Buggy the Star rages in close-up, shouting, "WE'VE SERVED OUR PURPOSE, SO IT'S TIME TO ROUND US ALL UP! I THOUGHT YOU IDIOTS WERE THE HONORABLE ONES!" A large title box reads "CHAIRMAN, BUGGY'S DELIVERY FORMER SHICHIBUKAI BUGGY THE STAR". Another voice yells, "THAT'S A DIRTY MOVE! NO CONSULTATION, NOTHINGI COMPLETELY ONE-SIDEDI!" In smaller panels, a crew member complains, "WHY DO WE HAVE TO CATCH THE FALLOUTI! THIS TOTALLY DERAILS MY LIFE PLAN!" while another notes, "IT'S NOT OUR FAULT CROCODILE AND DOFLAMINGO PULLED A FAST ONE ON YOU DOLTS!" and a woman warns, "CHAIRMAN BUGGY! THE COASTLINE'S COMPLETELY SURROUNDED!" Buggy bellows, "SHOW ME WHAT YER MADE OF, BOYS!" as his men cheer, "RRRAAA ARRRGGHH! THAT'S OUR CHAIRMAN BUGGY! WE GIVE 'EM HELL, THAT'S WHAT WE DO!" One pirate panics, "WHAT SHOULD WE DOI! RUNI" while Buggy adds, "AND I'LL SCAMPER OFF IN THE MEANTIME!" amid roaring sound effects.

A wide shot shows Marine ships surrounding a dark island with a castle as voices demand, "HAWKEYE MIHAWK! SURRENDER AT ONCE," with a sign reading "KURAIGANA ISLAND RUINS OF THE SHICHIKAI KINGDOM". Dracule Mihawk sits calmly with crossed arms, replying, "TOO LONG SINCE I'VE BEEN CHASED. FUFU. AH, THIS EXCITEMENT... IT'S BEEN TOO LONG." A title box labels him "FORMER SHICHIBUKAI HAWKEYE DRACULE MIHAWK". On a besieged island marked "NEW WORLD A CERTAIN ISLAND", civilians and fighters react in panic as a child cries, "WHAT DO WE DO, MOMMYI! MOMMYI!" and someone shouts, "I THOUGHT THE MARINES WERE OUR FRIENDS! BUT THEY'VE SURROUNDED US!" Marines advance with guns drawn amid smoke and impact effects.

Edward Weevil roars, "THEN I'M GONNA KILL 'EM ALL! IN THE NAME OF WHITEBEARD!" while Miss Buckin snaps, "REALLYI! LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE NOT OUR FRIENDS ANYMORE! WEEVIL! YOU CAN GET 'EM! HOW UNFORGIVABLE!" A title box reads "FORMER SHICHIBUKAI WHITEBEARD JR. EDWARD WEEVIL". On another island, a subordinate reports, "MY LADY, THERE ARE MARINE SHIPS APPROACHING! THEY'VE TAKEN AWAY OUR SHICHIBUKAI POWERS! SNAKE PRINCESS! THIS IS BAD!" with a sign for "NYO-GASHIMA AMAZON LILY". The chapter ends with a small Luffy panel and the text "ONE PIECE...CH. 956 / END". Boa Hancock stands poised, declaring, "IS BECAUSE WE ARE STRONG. DO NOT FRET. IT SEEMS THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN. THE REASON WE BECAME SHICHIBUKAI," labeled "FORMER SHICHIBUKAI PIRATE EMPRESS BOA HANCOCK".

A color splash page displays three close-up smiling faces side by side. On the left, a young man with a stitched scar, freckles, goggles atop his head, and a staff over his shoulder grins confidently. In the center, Monkey D. Luffy beams with wide eyes and a broad toothy smile. On the right, a blond man with a black top hat, visible scars on his face, and a bright smile looks forward. The page carries a small credit "SERGIART.DEVIANTART.COM" in the corner.

A large group of distinctive characters lounges together on an ornate teal couch against a stark white background. On the far left, a hook-handed man in a black coat with white fur collar sits partially visible. Dominating the left side, a massive rotund figure with a white horned mask, wild red flame-like hair, black cape, and orange window-patterned pants reclines with arms behind his head. In the center, a woman with long black hair wearing a red cheongsam-style dress reclines on the couch. Next to her, a teal-haired woman with a white skull mask and curved horns poses. Behind them stands a tall swordsman in a black coat and hat, gripping a large sheathed blade. A muscular blond man with an open yellow shirt and voluminous pink feathery coat grins broadly with one hand raised. In the foreground, a blue-skinned oni-like man with horns and a brown patterned robe sits prominently. On the far right, a large man in a gray hoodie marked with a white cross emblem stands with arms crossed, while a figure in spotted pants sits beside him.
