Continental Fragments

No description for this page.

A wide view of Wano's Flower Capital appears with narration boxes explaining how a foreign transmission reached them and that the snail was found among Orochi's possessions. In a lively street scene, a man with dark hair questions Joy Boy while a woman in a kimono holds a skewer and replies "...JUST LIKE LUFFY." Nearby, a small girl and a round creature react with excitement. The panel shifts to a jail cell at G-4 Naval Base where prisoners react loudly: "YEAH, I'M CLEARLY...", "THAT'S OUR CAP'N! THE ONLY THING BIGGER THAN HIS CONFIDENCE IS HIS BELLY!", "DUH! THE MAN'S ALREADY DEAD.", "JOY BOYI! WHO CARESI! I BET YOU COULD EASILY BEAT HIM, RIGHT, CAPTAIN KIDI", and "IT'S JOY BOY, BOSS!!...A MILLION TIMES TOUGHER THAN THIS JOY TOY!" Demalo Black's name is visible on a sign.

An old man with a long mustache states "I ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO A HANDFUL OF PONEGLYPHS..." while warning "DO BEAR IN MIND..." as panicked Marines fire rifles and shout. A massive double-page spread depicts an ancient sea battle with multiple sailing ships exchanging cannon fire amid smoke and waves; narration reads "...AN UNBELIEVABLE HISTORY ABOUT A GREAT WAR IN THE DISTANT PAST!" and "BUT THEIR COMBINED NARRATIVE CLEARLY CHRONICLES..." Large sound effects fill the sky. In the foreground, a burly man with a scar growls "WAIT... ISN'T THAT USI!" while another figure insists "WELL, HE DID SAY HE WAS A PIRATE!" A final narration box explains: "DURING THAT PERIOD, JOYBOY FACED AN ENEMY... THE ORGANIZATION NOW KNOWN AS THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!"

Narration recounts the ancient era: "BACK THEN, THEY WERE MERELY THE ALLIED POWERS!! A TEMPORARY COALITION CONSISTING OF 20 SEPARATE KINGDOMS!!" Explosions and debris erupt as a massive figure is struck, with the cry "VEGAPUNK!!" and heavy SFX "バキッ" "ドォォォ". A stern, scarred man glares intensely. Further narration explains: "I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT JOY BOY WAS BORN INTO A FANTASTICAL CIVILIZATION... I AM AFRAID THE CAUSE OF THIS CONFLICT STILL ELUDES ME, SO I DO NOT PRESUME TO JUDGE THE MORALITY OF THE COMBATANTS. I CAN HOWEVER SAY THAT THIS WAR WAS A CLASH OF TWO OPPOSING IDEOLOGIES. IT CAN BE ASSUMED THAT AN ALLIANCE WAS THE ONLY FEASIBLE WAY TO OPPOSE THE FORMIDABLE FACTION TO WHICH JOY BOY BELONGED!" A small figure tumbles amid rubble while an elephant-like creature labeled "ZOU-NEW WORLD" reacts with "..." and sweat drops.

The group reacts in awe at ancient technology. "ARE FAR BEYOND OUR MODERN SCIENCE. THE WEAPONS THAT EXISTED DURING THIS CENTURY-LONG STRUGGLE... ONE SO ADVANCED THAT IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE IT EXISTED OVER 900 YEARS AGO." A girl exclaims "THAT'S AMAZING!!" while SFX "ガバッ" "ドォォ" "わっ" "どっ」 fill the air. Vegapunk continues: "SUCH TECHNOLOGY IS BAFFLING EVEN TO A GENIUS SUCH AS MYSELF." The rabbit-eared girl says "AWW ♥ BOSS, YOU'RE MAKING ME HUNGRY!" as a large-headed man protests "WHAT'S THAT PEANUT HEADED FOOL SAYINGI!" and laughs "FE FE FE FE FE!!" Others chime "HE'S SO BIG HEADED!" "PU PU PU PU!" The scene shifts to a damaged lab with "LABO-STRATUM" sign and the large-headed man concluding "AND THEREIN LIES OUR PROBLEM."

Inside the lab, a hooded figure startles: "EDISONI!" A small robot replies "IT'S ME." "HUHI" Stussy's voice calls "STUSSY... WEEZ... WEEZ..." A man in a cape declares "NOT WHEN THERE ARE MONSTERS ON THE ISLAND WHO CAN IGNORE IT." Edison responds "AH'M GONNA BE STRAIGHT WITH YA... THERE AIN'T NO POINT IN THE BARRIER NO MORE..." A blonde woman worries "BUT... I CAN'T! WHAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO THE STRAW HAT CREWI" and "LOWER THE BARRIER AND NIGHTAIL IT OUT OF THERE." Outside, Jinbe greets "THERE'S NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; WE WERE BUSY..." as Zoro is spotted: "IS THAT YOU, ZOROI! YOU'RE GONNA GET IT LATER!!" with SFX "ドドド" "ゴゴゴ". The crew shouts "MY APOLOGIES! WE'RE ALMOST THERE!" "HOW MUCH LONGER, JINBEI!" "WE'VE DONE ALL WE CAN FOR 'EM..."

A massive ship launches amid chaos: "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU IF WE GET BLASTED OUT OF THE WATER AFTER ALL THIS!" with SFX "ビュン" "ビュン" "1000". A woman with "SSG" on her outfit yells "NOW HURRY UP! THEY'RE MOVING THEIR SHIPS TO BLOCKADE THE NORTHEAST COAST!" A masked figure reacts "HUHI" while another insists "BUT... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF." The blonde woman snaps "AS IF! NOW GET YOUR ASS OUTTA THERE!" and "...NEVER FORGIVE ME IF I LET THEM GET CAUGHT. THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. I WAS WORRIED STELLA WOULD..." A close-up shows her determined face: "I HAVE NO PURPOSE... NOW THAT STELLA'S GONE... WHO AM I MEANT TO LIVE FORI" with SFX "ズズズ" "ピキ" "!!" and motion lines.

A fierce clash erupts as a swordsman in dark attire swings a massive blade. "THIS GEEZER CAN CUT ANYTHING!!" someone yells while the strike carves through the air. "DON'T LET HIM USE HIS SWORD!!" another voice shouts urgently. In a close panel an elderly figure with a staff murmurs "BONNEY..." A dark, grinning face appears, declaring "SENSE THE LIVING VOICES..." The swordsman is hurled backward in a massive impact, crying "GYAAAH!!" as motion lines streak across the page. From the side a voice calls out "BONNEY, GET DOWN!!" amid the chaos of dust, debris, and flashing sword trails.

High above the ruined structures a horned skull emblem spins through the air. A rider is flung from a massive beast as "AH!" escapes their lips. Below, a close-up of a mustached face states "THE VOID CENTURY ENDED..." while a small figure gasps "I CAN'T MAINTAIN DISTORTED FUTURE FOR VERY LONG... WEEZ WEEZ" and another mutters "HMI" A distant figure cries "VEGA-PUNKI!" as a giant hand reaches upward. "HOW MUCH DO YOU INTEND TO SAY..." another voice questions. The final panels show crumbling ruins and the narration box "...WITH JOY BOY'S DEFEAT..." amid falling debris and shockwaves.

Shock ripples through onlookers as "WHAT THEI!" rings out. A massive cross-shaped impact erupts while a cloaked rider on a horned beast charges across the sky. "TOO! THERE ARE TOO MANY LIFE FORMS UP HERE!!" a voice exclaims. Below, stunned faces react with "!!I" and "UWAAAH!!" as the beast crashes through the air. Narration boxes read "AND THOSE SCARS NEVER HEALED....!!!" and "THE WAKE OF THAT ANCIENT CONFLICT SCARRED THE WORLD, BUT THE AFTERMATH HAD GRANDER CONSEQUENCES." The sprawling cityscape of Egghead shakes under the force.

Narration boxes declare "CONTINENTAL FRAGMENTS OF THE LAND MASSES THAT ONCE WERE!!" "WE ARE NOW LIVING ATOP OF THE REMNANTS," "AND THE ANCIENT WORLD WAS SWALLOWED BY THE OCEAN!!" "THE SEAS ONE MUST TRAVERSE ARE SO VAST AND PERILOUS..." and "WE ALL KNOW TRAVEL BETWEEN ISLANDS CAN BE EXCRUCIATINGLY DIFFICULT." A massive dragon-like creature looms among the ruins as people tumble through the air. "YEAH, HA HA HA! EVERYONE KNOWS THE SEAS ARE DANGEROUS." "THAT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO US NOW..." "ISN'T THAT A BIT OBVIOUSI!" voices chatter. A bespectacled man states "THE WORLD OF A MILLENNIA AGO SLEEPS, UNSEEN, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN." The crowd erupts in panic: "SAY WHAAATI!" "A CATACLYSMIC ECOLOGICAL DISASTER OCCURRED DURING THE VOID CENTURY..." "BUT IT WASN'T LIKE THAT 1000 YEARS AGO!"

Nojiko smiles and says, "Fill me in later. I've gotta check on the Tangerine Orchard." Someone shouts "NOJIKO!!" as she walks away. In the chaotic square, a man yells "HEY, NOJIKO! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!" while another cries "THIS IS INSANE!" and "THE WHOLE WORLD IS AT STAKE!!" A large narration box states: "I KNOW IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE ON MY WORD ALONE... BUT THERE REALLY WERE MULTIPLE VAST CONTINENTS BACK THEN." Vegapunk's massive head dominates the next panel as he explains: "WITHIN A MERE CENTURY, THE AVERAGE SEA LEVEL ROSE BY A STAGGERING......200 METERS!!" and "THIS CHANGE IN THE WORLD HELPS EXPLAIN HOW A CENTURY OF HISTORY COULD BE CENSORED. A FEAT THAT SEEMS HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE, BUT IT MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE UNDENIABLE CONCLUSION ALL THE DATA POINTS TO." The crowd erupts in shock: "T-TWO HUNDREDI!" "WHAAATI! YOU'RE KIDDING!" with wild expressions and motion lines filling the panel.

Vegapunk continues: "THE SERAPHIM AND ALL THOSE IMPRISONED CIPHER POL AGENTS WERE SPOTTED FALLING OUT OF THE LAB BUILDING!" A Marine shouts "WE'VE GOT TO RESCUE THEM!" while another says "NO WONDER THE OLD WORLD DISAPPEARED!" and "HEY, STOP LISTENING TO THIS CRAZY! WE HAVE WORK TO DO!" A massive warship looms as text notes "A WARSHIP'S ONLY 60 METERS TALL!" Below, a wild-eyed man laughs "THE OLD FART'S LOST HIS MARBLES! WHAT A JOKE!" as the crowd panics with "DID YOU HEAR THATI! HIS TALL TALE KEEPS GETTING TALLER!" and sound effects like "ビュオオオオ!!" and "ズズズ" fill the air. In a desert scene, a woman asks "YOU'RE SAYING SOMETHING THAT TALL WOULD BE SUBMERGEDI! THAT'S CRAZY!! HOW MANY PEOPLE DIEDI!" while a small figure replies "THAT MOUNTAIN IS AROUND 200 METERS." A man with a 002 label stands with a rabbit-like figure as someone wonders "IS THAT REALLY POSSIBLEI" and "SAKURA KINGDOM (CHOPPER'S HOMETOWN)" is labeled. An old woman smiles: "EVEN NOW THE WORLD STILL FINDS A WAY TO KEEP THINGS INTERESTING."

Vegapunk gestures dramatically: "HOWEVER, I CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN THAT IT WAS A MAN-MADE CALAMITY!!!" The crowd reacts with shock. He continues: "THAT BEGS THE QUESTION... HOW AND WHY DID SUCH A FLOOD OCCURI" and "NATURALLY, YOUR FIRST INCLINATION MIGHT BE TO ASSUME IT WAS SOME KIND OF NATURAL DISASTER..." A woman with long hair raises a finger and says "IT WAS A SEVERE WORLD ALTERING EVENT, AFTER ALL!!" while another panel notes "THERE WOULD BE RECORDS DENOTING EARLY WARNING SIGNS SEVERAL CENTURIES EARLIER..." Vegapunk adds: "IF THIS CATASTROPHE WAS BROUGHT ABOUT BY NATURAL MEANS," as a man yells "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!" and sound effects like "ギャアアア" appear. Vegapunk concludes: "BUT ALL MY RESEARCH INTO METEOROLOGY, GEOLOGY, ECOLOGY, AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH NATURAL BUILD-UP." A ship sails over flooded ruins as he states: "MY SUSPICIONS WERE CONFIRMED A FEW DAYS AGO......WHEN I ANALYZED THE WORLD'S CURRENT SEA LEVELS." and "MEANING THE CAUSE LIES ELSEWHERE." He finishes: "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE TO HAPPEN SPONTANEOUSLY WITHIN THE SPAN OF A MERE 100 YEARS...!!!"

Vegapunk's face appears in close-up: "...WAS CAUSED BY ANCIENT WEAPONS TECHNOLOGY, CAPABLE OF SINKING THE WORLD...!!!" Three stern figures are shown as text reads: "BUT THAT DISASTER 800 YEARS AGO..." "THIS WILL BE HARD TO ACCEPT..." A grand building is depicted with narration: "IN OTHER WORDS... THAT GREAT WAR WHICH RAVAGED THE WORLD DURING THE VOID CENTURY... AND THAT VERY SAME FIREPOWER EVIDENTLY STILL EXISTS, JUST WAITING TO BE USED AGAIN!" Large sound effects "ゴゴゴゴ..." and "ギャア" appear. The final panel shows a black background with wide eyes and the text: "...IS STILL ONGOING!!!" A caption states "THE GENIUS SHEDS LIGHT ON A FORGOTTEN HISTORY!" The page ends with the "ONE PIECE" logo, Luffy's face, and "...ah, its /END."
