The title page displays the chapter heading "Chapter 300 'Symphony'". Below it, a dramatic splash illustration shows Portgas D. Ace reclining on a small boat adrift on rough seas. Ace wears his signature black hat, shorts, and open shirt revealing the tattoo "ACE" across his chest. One leg is propped up, a bottle rests nearby, and the boat's mast bears a black flag with a white smiley face. Waves crash around the vessel under a cloudy sky with birds flying overhead. A caption at the bottom reads: "ACE'S GREAT SEARCH FOR BLACKBEARD VOL. 25 'SUCCESSFULLY MADE OFF WITH NEW INFORMATION ON BLACKBEARD'".

A distant forested island rises from the clouds. Closer views reveal a massive, gnarled tree with figures moving around its roots. A small girl with dotted pigtails reaches toward the trunk while another character watches. In the next panel the girl runs along a path toward a distant structure. Wide shots show many people gathered on cliff ledges and walkways carved into the towering roots and rock formations. A close-up shows a woman with long dark hair and an ornate top saying, "Aisa..." and "Did you worry...I" A small figure replies, "Ah-". The word "STEP" appears near a lone walker on a path. A close-up of a girl in a hooded outfit shows her surprised expression.

The woman with long dark hair continues, "About your treasure...I" while a small hooded figure cries out, "WHO'D CARE ABOUT SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT!" with the sound effect "ぴん!!". She smiles faintly. Elsewhere, a bald man with goggles watches as a tall figure with a feathered cloak and spear shouts "RAKI!!" amid swirling dust and distant cries. In a ruined city, the same goggled man lies injured while a helmeted figure stands nearby. A voice says, "You can treat me later." Another insists, "No! You need immediate treatment for your wounds! More importantly..."

Overlooking a devastated city filled with rubble and broken buildings, voices discuss an injured man: "He looks like he'll die any minute now." "You should do something." "About him first." In closer panels a curly-haired man says, "Right... We're not obligated to treat him." A blond figure notes, "Hey, isn't that one of the guerrillasI" The injured man in a black hat groans, "This is terrible!" and "Ah! Even his bones are a mess!" A battered man with striped hair lies on the ground thinking, "HuhI What's that supposed to beI" "PityI" "A desperate stand." "But he put up." Another voice concludes, "I don't know what was exactly his deal but..."

Chopper bursts forward in his reindeer form, antlers out, shouting with panic and determination, "I'M A REINDEER! LOOK! I'VE GOT ANTLERS! AND DON'T WORRY! I CAN SAVE HIM!" Usopp stares in shock nearby. In the distance, a lone figure stands over a collapsed body on the rubble as someone asks, "Can you heal him." The scene shifts to the ruined city of gold. Sanji and Zoro sit among the wreckage; Sanji wonders, "Did the golden bell- I think it fell into the sea." Zoro replies, "So what happenedI" Nearby, Nami and Robin survey the destruction. Nami frets, "I'm worried about Conis too... Where could she be...I" Robin notes, "Well, since Luffy's with her, I'm sure she's fine... If Nami's alright... I wonder." Nami sits on a rock and declares, "I personally want those dials more than the gold. You can't get anything like that down in the blue seas!" Robin answers calmly, "Guess we'll continue to being broke-ass pirates. The 'city of gold' is now only gold in name only. It's a shame what happened to Enel's solid gold-plated ark..."

In the battered ruins, orders are given: "Put all the priests out onto a drifting cloud." "Right." "Gather all those who can still move." Aisa stands with a small creature as someone asks, "Is it really alright to let the blue seas people treat Wiper...I" Aisa replies, "It's fine. It seems Alisa made friends with them... We gotta go before the knocked out enemies regain consciousness. Well, let's hurry back then." Below, Pierre the large bird carries a wounded man on his back while a desperate voice cries out, "PIERRE... PIERREEE!" Pierre is told, "Pierre... Go rest with the people of the blue seas." The Going Merry floats gently on a sea of clouds near the massive roots and ruins.

A massive explosion of emotion erupts as Luffy carries an unconscious Conis on his back, roaring with joy while Nami runs alongside him. Hearts and motion lines fill the panel as Luffy yells, "And Cooonniiisss! Naaamii!!" Someone screams "HEEYYY!" and another voice wails "AAAAHHHHH!" In the next scene the Straw Hats reunite with the Skypieans. Usopp waves and shouts, "We found it in a priests' storehouse inside the forest. There's still more in there!" Luffy cheers, "Luffy! Nami!" while Conis, overwhelmed with relief, cries, "Conis! You were worried so deeply over me!I I was so worried... But I couldn't do a thing about it... THANK GOD... YOU'RE ALL SAFE!" Usopp and Chopper react with tears and laughter as the group celebrates their survival.

Conis, tears streaming down her face, recalls, "He tried to protect me..." Nearby, Luffy stands with a small white fox-like creature as the group processes the events. A battered man with a scarred face mutters, "Oh, that reminds me... What happened to your dadI" while another asks about the balloon. Conis continues softly, "I'm sorry this is the white white sea." The panels focus on the crew's worried and sorrowful expressions. Luffy's face twists with guilt as he suddenly bows deeply, shouting at the top of his lungs, "I'M SORRY FOR BEING ALIVE!" while the others react in shock. Someone yells, "WAIT, WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT YOU!" as the emotional weight of the battle's aftermath crashes over the group.

A group discusses their situation on the broken structures of Upper Yard. "Actually, right now," one says, "When I came to, I realized I had fallen one level below." In the next panel a voice cries out, "FATHER!" Another answers, "Down to the white seas belowI You fell." "Yes, sorry about that." The conversation continues: "But with Angel Island destroyed, And are now returning up here, one by one... They're all coming up to the Upper Yard. Made a new route back to the White White Seas using a milky dial. People who had escaped down to the White Seas via Cloud End." Below, Gan Fall kneels beside a small figure and his bird companion. "I'm so glad..." he says. "Save your strength and don't talk... I'm no longer such an important man..." A shocked onlooker exclaims, "God!" while another voice murmurs, "Ohh!"

Amid the ruins, a tall figure in a cape declares, "But everything is over now! You can all meet your family again!" Another adds, "For abandoning you all here for 6 long years... Forgive me..." The Shandians and others react with shock and relief. "Is the war truly over...I" one asks. "So have the Shandians... Their hidden cloud village is gone too...!" Another cries, "God...! Angel Island is gone! We've lost a home to return to!" In the lower panels the discussion turns somber: "God's army may be gone now, but... Can a 400 year-old conflict... be so easily buried awayI Chief..."

Enel’s face twists in fury as massive impact effects explode around him. "I WILL RETURN... TO THE PLACE GOD BELONGS TO..." he snarls. A small ark-like ship lifts into the sky with buzzing sounds "ビュオオオオオ... ヒュヒュ" while Enel continues, "YHAHAHA... I WILL NOT SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE ELSE... IT IS A PLACE ONLY FIT FOR GOD! I CAN'T LET THOSE WHO BLOCKED MY VISION COME TO THIS HEAVEN... YOU WERE ALL ONLY A NUISANCE... AN ENDLESS LAND LIKE OUT OF A DREAM!"

The Straw Hats react in confusion on the broken plaza. "Nami, what kind of crazy talk is that!I" "What do we do nowI Go back to the shipI" "It's already night..." "Boy, did I ever eat." "What do you meanI" Nami stands firm while Usopp and Luffy question her. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN!I" "Yeah, she's a failure as a human being, alright." "She still doesn't realize it, Usopp." In the center a massive panel shows the ark sailing toward a glowing celestial body with the huge text "TO FAERIE VEARTH!" Gan Fall watches from the side and says, "Let us ascend, Maxim." Below him another voice adds, "To God's land which shines above at night..."

A heavily bandaged man lies on a stretcher under moonlight, eyes fluttering open in confusion. "Where am I...I" he murmurs as question marks float around his head. The night sky reveals ancient stone ruins atop a cloud island. In the ruins of Shandora, a tall figure with a feathered headdress and striped cloak tends to the wounded, declaring, "Stay still. There is no discrimination when it comes to treating the victims of war." Nearby, a young woman with a large snake coiled around her looks concerned while voices call out: "Ahh! Please refrain from moving!" "How dare a sky human step f-" "Gan Fall..." "In the ruins of Shandora." A muscular man in a cape stands watch. In a close panel, the wolf-masked warrior Wiper growls while another figure urges, "Let us wait and see how the situation unfolds..." Wiper replies, "Do not rush, Wiper..." A small girl asks, "Where's the golden bell...I We still have a duty to protect it..." as an unseen voice calls, "Chief..."
The bandaged man sits up, addressing the feathered figure: "Chief!" The tall warrior responds, "For those of us who live now, this sky is our home... A war was in the distant past... No matter how fierce," his face fierce with bared teeth. The wolf-masked Wiper continues, "Does not reject anyone." He pulls open a curtain with a bold "OPEN" sound effect, adding, "Even at the very least, Vearth... Listen closely, Wiper..." as a woman tends the injured and a voice grunts "UGH-". In a dramatic close-up, the bandaged man's eye widens with shock, "Not a single person!" while another replies, "And at the very least... Right now!" The final panel shows a determined face answering, "Yes..."
A massive celebratory splash erupts across the page. Crowds of Shandians and sky people dance wildly beneath swirling clouds and impact lines as a giant snake rears up with open jaws. Bold text declares "WISHES TO FIGHT, ANY LONGER." Musical notes and "ドンドットット♪" drum beats fill the air while figures leap and cheer. Smaller inset panels show ecstatic faces: a helmeted warrior laughing, a masked fighter looking surprised, and a smiling woman watching the festivities. The entire scene pulses with joy and release as the ruins of Shandora become the stage for an explosive party.

Luffy's enormous laughing face dominates the top of the page, eyes squeezed shut and mouth wide open as he shouts, "LET'S PARTY!" Below, panels burst with continuing celebration: warriors and villagers dance to "ドンドットット♪" beats, a wide-eyed fish-man-like creature cheers, and a long-nosed figure in a hat leaps with joy. A woman with dark hair and a patterned outfit covers her mouth in delighted surprise. The entire sequence radiates pure festive energy as the party rages on through the ruins.

Nico Robin smiles warmly on the left while the Straw Hats and allies erupt in wild celebration across the top panels. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper raise barrels high, laughing and drinking amid flying flags and cheering figures. Below, a massive sea king-like creature bursts from the water as a young woman with a weapon rides a speeding vehicle past it. A horned, furry creature grins broadly. An elderly man with a long mustache shouts in excitement, followed by close-ups of determined faces including a bandaged man and a spiky-haired warrior yelling with joy. The sequence ends with a wide splash panel showing a huge fiery explosion on the ground, smoke billowing upward as unseen voices roar with laughter: "わっはっはっはっは" and "はっはっはっはっは". Large stylized sound effects read "ドンドッドレレ♪" twice, capturing the thunderous festive blasts.

This is an SBS page featuring Eiichiro Oda answering fan questions. A large header shows "SBS" with Oda on the left holding a cup and a bird-like character on the right. Questions include: "D: Lord Odatsu! If you roll your eyes to the back of your head, you won't be able to draw your manuscript! -Dorapiece-" and Oda's reply about volume 23 bath scene peeking. Another letter from "President of the Association to Prevent Peeping Boys, Shikobaya Pinoko" demands to know why Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper peeked too. Oda answers that they are healthy boys and discusses Chopper's innocence. A final exchange has "Hina" asking "O: Ohh Enel, Enel, wherefore art thou EnelI" and Oda replying "O: Right. Thanks for the postcard." Small drawings and a tiny comic strip illustrate the peeking scene with hearts and "U" sound effects.
