WE'LL SAVE THE BANQUET FOR LATER!

Massive waves crash across a stormy sea as ships rock violently. A large speech bubble shouts JINBE!!! amid dramatic motion lines and splashing water. On the deck of the Thousand Sunny, the crew gathers around Jinbe. Luffy in his straw hat and dark cloak grips Jinbe's shoulder, exclaiming YOU REALLY HAD ME WORRIED!! Jinbe replies, LOOKING AFTER THE WOUNDED SUN PIRATES AND THEN CELEBRATING MY DEPARTURE WAS A BIT PREOCCUPIED... MY APOLOGIES. Nami and others react with relief while someone cheers FOR JINBE, A FORMER SHICHIBUKAI, TO JOIN OUR CREW... HOW REASSURING!!!

Franky declares PLEASED TO BE ON THE SAME CREW while Jinbe stands proudly. Franky continues SO THERE'S FINALLY A MAN WHO IS ABLE TO USE MY DREAM SHIP TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIALI HE SURFED UNDER A GIANT WAVE WITH SUNNY!! JINBE IS AN INCREDIBLE HELMSMAN, YOU KNOW!! On the deck the crew erupts in celebration. Luffy is called out to with HEY, LUFFY-DONO!! Someone yells YEAaaa AAAH!! TOASTI! while Kin'emon appears in a dramatic pose, shouting GIVE IT UP, KIN. IT'S USELESS TO TALK ABOUT STRATEGY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE PLAN BEFORE WE SET FOOT ON THE ISLAND!! A voice from over there calls LIAR!!

Shishilian, captain of Inuarashi's musketeers, declares I SHALL COMMAND THE MINKS!! and I AM COUNTING ON YOU! while noting SINCE THE DUKE IS A VASSAL OF THE KOZUKI CLAN IN THIS FEUD... Hyogoro the Flower, former underworld boss of Wano, responds BOSS HYOGORO!! THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGING WORDS!! and states I INTEND ON LEADING THE SAMURAI OF WANO. A voice warns I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU THIS AIN'T AN INN. UNDERSTOOD. In the background the Thousand Sunny sails through rough seas as someone shouts HURRY!!

A detailed map shows Onigashima as a giant horned skull embedded in the mountain range, with a castle inside. Narration explains: "THE GIANT SKULL IS PART OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE, AND THERE'S A CASTLE INSIDE. THANKS TO THE BLUEPRINTS WE MANAGED TO ACQUIRE, WE KNOW THERE'S A SECRET PATH BEHIND THE CASTLE. ONIGASHIMA IS AN ISLAND SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS!! THE ONLY WAY TO GET IN IS THROUGH THE MAIN DOOR." The alliance fleet sails through rough seas toward the island. "AND ATTACK KAIDO WHEN HE IS DRUNK!! WE ARE GOING TO SEPARATE OUR FORCES INTO TWO, MAKE THEM GO AROUND THE SKULL, AND ENTER THE CASTLE THROUGH THE SECRET ENTRANCE..." Kin'emon, sweating and wide-eyed, reacts in shock with a loud "HUHI!" while an ally growls, "HE'S STILL OVERESTIMATING YOU!!" Another figure notes, "I SEE, SO THAT WAS THE DECOY STRATEGY MEANT TO TRICK KANJURO..."

Inside the meeting room, Law stands with crossed arms as Kin'emon and the samurai discuss the plan. "ALONGSIDE ME, STRAW HAT-YA AND EUSTASS. THE ONES THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE ARE YOU, THE RED SCABBARDS!! FIRST OF ALL! LET'S ASSUME THE ENEMY IS AWARE OF THE RAID... CERTAINLY. AND SO, WE CAN MAKE THE TROOPS ADVANCE ON THE BOTH SIDE AS PLANNED. THESE GOOD-FOR-NOTHINGS WILL MAKE FOR A GOOD DIVERSION!!! HOWEVER, THEY WILL BE BAIT TOO!! WHO WILL CHARGE IN THROUGH THE FRONT!! THERE'LL ALWAYS BE TWO IDIOTS... NO MATTER WHICH COURSE OF ACTION WE OPT FOR..." A diagram labels "LEFT IDIOTS" and "RIGHT IDIOTS" with the skull symbol. Kin'emon shouts, "WHAT WILL THE RED SCABBARDS DOI!" An older samurai with goggles replies, "MEANT TO SEND KIN' AND THE OTHERS TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE, BUT... WE FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A BATTLE... HMI"

Law continues explaining: "WE'LL BE ABLE TO AVOID THE WHIRLPOOLS THAT USUALLY PREVENT ANY OTHER LANDING. IF WE GO AROUND THE ISLAND USING THE SUBMARINE... I CAN THEN SEND ALL OF YOU ONTO THE ISLAND USING MY ABILITY. THEY'LL TRAVERSE BY SEA!!" Kin'emon agrees, "GOT IT. WE'LL HIT KAIDO... WITH EVERY THING WE HAVE!!" The group debates routes: "ONE FOR THE RIGHT AND ANOTHER FOR THE LEFT!! TAKE THE MOUNTAIN ROUTE THEN... INDEED...! WE SHALL TAKE THE MOUNTAIN ROUTE THEN... IT'S NECESSARY FOR ME TO LEAD OUR MAIN TROOPS. HMM, THAT IS VERY KIND OF YOU, LAW-DONO, BUT..." An exclamation interrupts: "OI, THE STRAW HATS' SHIP AIN'T HERE!!" Kin'emon smiles confidently, "I EXPECTED NOTHING LESS OF YOU, KIN'EMON. TRULY A GENIUS AT DEVISING STRATAGEMS!! GOOD! GOOD! JUST AS WE PLANNED FROM THE BEGINNING, THE PLAN IS NOW SET IN STONE!!"

An explosion erupts near the fleet with a massive "ボコォォン!!" sound. "WAS THAT LUFFY-DONO'S VOICE JUST NOWI AN EXPLOSION IN THE MISTI! WHATI! AAAAH!!" The ships rock violently in the waves. Kin'emon panics, "ON THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE FESTIVAL, ALL THE SOLDIERS ARE PARTYING THERE!!!! THE GATE IN FRONT OF THE ISLAND IS A SMALL FORTRESS IN ITS OWN RIGHT... IF THEY WERE TO REALIZE THAT THE RAID IS HAPPENING, THEN...!! OH NO! I STILL HAVEN'T WARNED YOU ABOUT THE GUARDIANS OF THE GATE! WHAAA AATI!" A massive blast rocks the shoreline as figures react in horror. "WH- SHIT, DID THEY GET THEMI! LUFFY-DO NOOOOO!! THAT'S BAD!! WE WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE!!"

Luffy leaps through the air and delivers a powerful kick to a massive dragon-headed beast, sending shockwaves and debris flying as the creature reels back. Zoro stands nearby with a fierce grin, while a close-up shows Luffy's intense, determined expression. In the next sequence, a samurai with a topknot and another fighter clash violently, the impact marked by large SFX reading ドキッ!!. Below, a scarred swordsman with a cigarette glares forward while gripping his blade, as the dragon-headed fighter is hurled backward amid more explosive impacts and motion lines.

A dark-haired woman in a floral kimono is struck hard, her body twisting from the blow as large SFX read ビシ and パキーン. The dragon-headed fighter is sent flying once more. Sanji appears in a dynamic pose, cigarette in mouth, delivering a devastating kick that creates a massive cross-shaped impact marked ナギール. In the lower panels, two small figures including a blonde child and a helmeted man react with shock as a massive cannon fires, the blast marked ドゴォン!! and sending debris everywhere.

A wide view shows the Straw Hat fleet sailing toward a massive torii gate labeled 明王 amid turbulent seas and distant ships. Speech bubbles read: "WE'RE OFF TO A SMOOTH START!", "NOT TOO SHABBY!", and "WELL DONE GUYS!! GOOD JOB!!" Below, chaos erupts as ships collide and fighters clash near the gate. Luffy appears in close-up, hand to his chin, reacting with "HMI" while thinking "ALL THOSE WEAPONS!!" and "IF THEY HAD AIMED AT US WITH THAT...!!!" A final bubble questions "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT GATEI!"

Luffy thanks someone for handling the gate guardians as the crew prepares to advance. Kin'emon is greeted with "OI, KIN'EMON!!" while Brook remarks on enemies and laughs. Sanji carries a large basket of sake bottles, noting "I TOLD YOU IT SMELLED LIKE BOOZE!" as others react. Luffy shouts orders to storm Onigashima, with allies yelling "YEA AAH!!" and "LET'S HIT 'EM BEFORE THEY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING!!" Jinbe is welcomed aboard, and the crew celebrates finding alcohol while noting the first hurdle has been cleared.

The crew erupts in wild excitement. "SHISHISHI!!! LET'S GO BEAT UP KAIDO!! THEN OROCHI AND BIG MOM!!" someone shouts as Luffy leaps forward. "LET'S DO IT WITH THEM!! THE TOAST... AND THE BANQUET!!" another voice calls. A figure yells "STOP!!" while Luffy grins and declares, "THEN THROW THE BIGGEST BANQUET EVER!!! LET'S WIN THIS WAR..." The group charges ahead with Luffy at the center, fists raised. "MOVE, YOU SQUIRTS!!!" a voice commands. "HEHEHE! YEAH!! THAT WILL BE THE BEST BOOZE WE'LL EVER TASTE!!" others cheer as the Straw Hats and allies surge forward in a frenzy of anticipation.

Killer and his group laugh wildly. "FAFAFA!! RIGHT, KILLERI! WE WON'T LET ANYBODY TAKE KAIDO'S HEAD OTHER THAN US!!" they shout. A massive skull-shaped ship looms as voices yell, "THAT'S RIGHT! HOW DARE THEY MAKE KILLER SO JOYOUS!!! IMAGINE IF WE BECAME THE JOYOUS PIRATES!! WHEN I TAKE HIS HEAD, I'LL MAKE IT MY SHIP'S FIGUREHEAD!!" Killer's crew continues their raucous laughter with repeated "FAFAFA!!" calls. Elsewhere, Jinbe and allies react: "LEAVE IT ALL TO ME! WAHAHA!! UNDERSTOOD! JINBE!! WE CAN'T LOSE A SEA RACE AGAINST JAGGY!! JAGGY!! THAT BASTARD!! IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE HAVING A GREAT TIME!!"

Chaos erupts at the banquet. "MY SON! SORRY, WHO...I WAAR! WHAT IS HE DOINGI! PLEASE BE PATIENT!! THE NEXT BATCH OF FOOD IS FOR BIG MOM!! OI!! I'M OUT OF RED BEAN SOUP HERE!!" voices overlap as a man is knocked aside. A massive impact sends a sake barrel flying with "CRACK!!" and "AAAAH!!" SFX as the keg crashes. "BENG BEBENG BEBENG!!" rings out while a figure shouts, "THIS IS WHY I HATE DRINKIN' WITH YOU LOT!! OI! CAN'T YA' EVEN HOLD YOUR KEG PROPERLYI!" Another warns, "SHE'S CURRENTLY PUTTING ON A KIMONO!!" as enemies gather. "MASTER KAIDO, THE FLYING SIX ARE HERE." The Flying Six arrive with footsteps: "STEP STEP" as the group declares, "THE FLYING SIX... HAVE ARRIVED!!"
