A KUNOICHI'S OATH

Massive waves crash around a distant pagoda as a skeletal figure rises from the sea. Big Mom's voice booms from off-panel, "OUT OF MY WAY!!" A second balloon questions, "WHAT LIE...!! BEYOND THAT DEAFENING ROAR!I" In the next panel Big Mom herself appears amid roaring flames, shouting "MARCO!!!" while a small black cloud creature floats beside her. She declares, "I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT ROLE I'LL BE PLAYING IN THIS WAR, BUT..." Below, a close-up shows a grinning man with a scar facing her as she continues, "JUST HOW DANGEROUS YOU CAN BE!!" and he replies, "I KNOW, EVEN MORE THAN THEY DO."

Marco, wreathed in blue phoenix flames, asks "WHY DOES IT HURT!!!I" and "PROME-THEUS!I" while Big Mom recoils with a scream "AAAAAR-GGHH!!!" Marco explains, "YOU SEE, MY PHOENIX FLAMES ARE QUITE UNIQUE-YOI." Big Mom yells "PEROSPERO!! FINISH HIM OFF!!!" as Perospero appears and grunts "UGH!!" She then snarls at him, "YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU!!" In the lower panels a stern man watches silently with sweat drops while Big Mom swings a massive kanabo, striking with a loud impact as she shouts "UNDER-STOOD..." and a voice cries "MAMA!!"

Big Mom swings her kanabo wildly, shouting "HUHI!!" and "Y-YOU CRAZY FURRY!!" A horned man grins and retorts, "YOU'RE SOMEONE I'VE WANTED TO KILL ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE PAST... HOW IRONIC!!" while another man with glasses sweats and mutters "OH CRAP!!" and "TOO BAD MARCO!! LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE TAKING MAMA'S SIDE NOW!!" Big Mom continues attacking, yelling "YOU'RE THAT MINK...!!" A massive fox-like creature leaps forward in a fiery aura as the horned man calls out "MOON RAID!!" and "MONDABA!!" Below, a character screams "AAAAA-AAARRR-GGGH!!!" and another voice shouts "SULONG!I"

Explosions and swirling smoke fill the battlefield as two mink women stand amid the chaos. Carrot and Wanda glare forward with fierce expressions. "PEDRO'S KILLER!!" "SO THAT'S HIM..." "YES. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM...!!" A small panel shows a distant island silhouette. "WHO ARE YOUI" Wanda continues, "I KNOW THAT PEDRO'S SACRIFICE IS SOMEHOW RELATED TO THIS WAR." "THAT IDIOT PEDRO BLEW HIMSELF UP!!" Carrot turns and replies, "YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT-YOI." She addresses the transformed tiger-like figure: "YOU'RE MASTER NEKO-MAMUSHI'S FRIEND, MARCO, IS ITI" Marco roars, "KEEP MOVING ONWARD!!" while a flashback panel shows a young mink being blasted away. "AND IT WAS I WHO SUFFERED THE CONSEQUENCES!!"

Big Mom towers in her massive form, surrounded by swirling souls and debris, shouting at Marco. "MARCO!! IF YOU WANT TO KILL ME... DO IT SOME OTHER TIME!! I DON'T HAVE ANY SOULS TO USE AGAINST YOU RIGHT NOW!!" She adds, "UH! SO ANNOYING!! TO BE ON THE SIDELINES OF THE BATTLEFIELD!!! DON'T INVOLVE ME IN YOUR SQUABBLES!! DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!!" In a lower panel, a scarred man growls while Marco flies past. Wanda and Carrot urge, "WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS GUY!! GO AHEAD MARCO!" Elsewhere, a man with a topknot reacts in shock: "WHAT THE HELL IS THATI" as a monstrous figure transforms, screaming "GROARR!! ROOAAA-AAARRRR!!" and "HELP ME!! I'LL TURN INTO A DEMON!!" while another voice wails "AAAAAAAA-AAARRRR-GGGHHHHH!!"

Inside the "LIVE STAGE" dome, chaos erupts. A masked figure laughs wildly: "MUHAHA-HAHAHA!!" while others shout "DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!!" and "CAPTURE SCRATCHMEN APOO!!" with onomatopoeia "わあああああ". A powerful strike lands as a cannon-like attack is unleashed: "POUND CANNON!!!" The number "720..." appears. Apoo is sent flying backward, yelling "HUFF. HUFF!!" and "THAT WAS CLOSE!!" while the attacker glares with intense eyes. Background figures react amid the debris and impact lines.

Queen rages with visible fury: "THERE'S MURDEROUS INTENT EVERYWHERE I LOOK!! QUEEN, THAT FRIGGIN' LUNATIC!!" Nearby allies plead desperately: "IF I GIVE IT TO YOU, I'LL BE KILLED!!" "PLEASE! GIVE US THE ANTIBODY!!" "SIR APOO!! WE ARE ALLIES, AREN'T WEI!" Apoo is chased amid explosions. "WAIT, APOO!!" "HANG IN THERE! WE'LL GET THE ANTI-BODY FOR YOU!!" "IT'S COLD!!" "PLEASE! GIVE ME THE ANTIBODY!! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!" Sound effects "SCRAA-AATCH!!" and "ボォ" ring out. In the final spread, Apoo swings his weapon as a massive "BOOM"!! explosion erupts with musical notes, sending multiple figures flying. "AARRGH!!"

A fierce melee erupts as multiple fighters clash. A topknotted man with a spiked club roars while a masked fighter with a top hat glares with gritted teeth. A voice demands, "HAND IT OVER!!" Explosions and impact lines fill the air as weapons clash. In the large central panel, Kin'emon leaps into battle with swords drawn, clashing against two opponents at once. One attacker yells, "WAIT!! STOP!! TWO ON ONE IS A BIT TOO MUCH!!" Kin'emon retorts angrily, "FIGHTING YOU WILL ONLY WASTE MY TIME!!" while another figure shouts, "I WANT TO BACK-UP KIN'EMON AND THE OTHERS!!" Motion lines and debris emphasize the chaotic sword fight.

Close-ups show furious faces. A masked fighter with sharp teeth snarls, "I'VE ALWAYS HATED YOU!!" Another growls, "DRAKE... THAT TURN-COAT!!" and adds, "HE JUST FLIPPED SIDES AS SOON AS HE GOT CAUGHT!!" The central clash intensifies with spinning attacks and impact effects as the same fighter yells, "LIKEWISE, YOU FOOL!!" Below, a striped-hatted figure examines wanted posters of Vinsmoke Sanji and Roronoa Zoro, musing, "VINSMOKE JUDGE... BUT WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT JUDGE'S SON IS PART OF THIS CREW... SO HE'S RORONOA ZORO, HUH... IT'S BEST TO CRUSH THEIR 2ND AND 3RD BEST FIGHTERS EARLY ON..."

An explosion rocks the battlefield with "BOOM!!" and "AARR-RGH!!" A samurai-like figure stands amid smoke as another character exclaims, "YOU'RE THE SAME AS A DEAD BODY!!" and "WHAT A RELIEF!! SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE EITHER SKIN, BLOOD VESSELS OR BODY HEAT... BUT LOOK!! I'M FINE!!" A panicked voice cries, "AAAAHH! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BECOME A DEMON!!" Nearby, Chopper's allies react in shock: "CHOPPER!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM!I" "HUH!I" "COULD THIS VIRUS POSSIBLY BE..." "THE VIRUS RAPIDLY SPREADS BECAUSE THE BODY FREEZES..." A skeletal figure declares, "I'M A LITTLE OFFENDED BY THAT FACT!! REGARDLESS, I'M INVINCIBLE!!" A massive close-up shows a horrified face screaming, "AAAAAAAHH! CHOPPER'S DONE FOR!!!" while another yells, "WHAA-AAAT!!I I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT..."

A horned woman stares in shock, "HUH!I" as an attack labeled "INSTANT KILL 'GREEN STAR'" strikes from above with dramatic impact effects. A massive creature lunges, shouting "DEVIL"!!!" The woman screams, "KYAAA-AAHHH! HELP ME PAYPAY!!" A crocodile-like beast with a heart symbol appears, saying, "YOU DON'T REALLY NEED MY HELP, DO YOUI" while a grinning fighter boasts, "I DID IT!! I GOT HER!!" and another cheers, "YEAH!! MELT AWAY JUST LIKE THAT!!" The chaotic rooftop battle continues with motion lines and debris.

A massive bamboo javelin slams down as a voice yells "BAMBOO JAVELIN!!" Ulti roars in the next panel, "DAMN IT!!! HOW ABOUT THISI!" while a skull-marked panel shows her clutching her head, "CRAP, MY "DEVIL"....!!" Below, a small figure mutters "NOT AGAIN..." as Ulti's eyes widen in shock, "ULTI..." and another voice cries "WHA- AATT!!" Someone else complains, "WHAT A BORING TECHNIQUE- QUE!!" In the huge lower panel Ulti lunges forward with a devastating headbutt, shouting "SKULL CANNON!!!" as the impact cracks the ground and sends debris flying.

The force of the blow sends a massive body crashing down with a loud "CRACK..." Ulti's skull-like face looms close. A tree shudders violently. Usopp lies sprawled on the ground, bloodied and barely conscious, as a voice calls out "USOPP.....!!!" In the wide lower scene a terrified man pleads "GYAAAH!! STOP!! DON'T KILL ME!!" while another figure begs "I GIVE UP!! YOU WIN!!" Ulti charges forward, fist raised, yelling "HEY! WOMAN!!!"

Ulti looms over a battered Nami, demanding "YOUR CAPTAIN!! HE SAYS HE'LL BEAT MASTER KAIDO... AND BECOME THE "PIRATE KING"!!!" Nami weakly replies "PLEA- PLEASE..." Ulti snaps back, "WAY TO STATE THE OBVIOUS, SAY IT THEN!! I'M PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!!" She presses harder: "SAY THAT YOUR CAPTAIN WILL NEVER BECOME THE "PIRATE KING"!!" A terrified man offers "I'LL DEFINITELY DIE..." while another begs "IF YOU HEADBUTT ME AGAIN... PLEASE, WE'LL EVEN LEAVE THIS ISLAND..." Ulti roars "THEN SAY IT!!" Nami cries "I'M SORRY!! HE'S JUST AN IDIOT!! SO PLEASE... DON'T HEADBUTT ME." In the bottom panels Luffy appears furious as Nami thinks "IT'S OKAY. THAT'S FINE... IT NAMI..." and Luffy shouts "HE'LL..." while someone stammers "Y...Y... YES... LUFFY..."

Ulti snarls at Nami, "SO THAT'S HOW IT IS YOU SAY!I THEN DIE NOW!!!" Nami's tear-streaked face fills the panel as she whispers "BECOME THE PIRATE KING... DEFINITELY..." Ulti yells "NAMI YOU IDIOT!! RUN AWAY!!" A huge explosion erupts as a lion-dog creature appears with the cry "GET HER!! KOMA-CHIYO!!!" and "WRAW-WRRRRR!!" Luffy shouts "O-NAMI!!" while someone else yells "IT'S HIM! HE DEFINITELY WILL...!!" In the final panels a shocked Luffy exclaims "A DOG!I" as Tama appears, prompting "TAMA!I WHY ARE YOU HERE!!I" and another voice cries "HUH!I THAT GIRL!!I"
