00AI-written

Large stylized title lettering dominates the top of the page: “I’ll Protect Everything”. Below it is a framed color illustration showing several characters inside a spacious room with ceiling beams and ornate furniture. A woman in a dark dress and hat measures the torso of a tall, muscular man with a bare chest and star-patterned pants while another woman in a patterned kimono-style outfit smiles and holds a measuring tape near his waist. Behind them, a bandaged man with a turban gestures animatedly toward a wall chart, and a wide-mouthed figure with swirling hair reacts with shock. A small, round creature with bunny-like ears stands at the muscular man’s feet. At the bottom, a caption reads: “From Shipdecks Around The World Vol 23: The Kingdom of Alabasta - Preparing New Outfits for This Year’s Reverie”.

Hody Jones reels from a powerful strike, mouth open in pain as he shouts “NGUA HH!!!”. The next panel shows him swinging his massive trident in a wide arc, the impact creating bold “ズゴォッ” sound effects while he roars “KHAA AAAAAA AAAA!!”. Blood sprays as the weapon connects. In the lower panels, a sweating, wide-eyed Vander Decken IX pants heavily (“*PANT*... *PANT*...”) and glares upward, growling “...YOU IMPUDENT BRAT!!!” while Hody’s menacing, toothy grin fills the final panel accompanied by the SFX “ニヤリ”.

Vander Decken IX, sweating and tense, declares “I JUST TOUCHED YOU... WITH MY LEFT HAND!!!” while Hody Jones stares in shock, hand raised. Hody then lunges forward, demanding “NOW EXPLAIN YOURSELF, TRAITOR!!!” as motion lines emphasize his speed. In the lower section, Decken speaks at length: “THE ISLAND WILL PERISH, CERTAINLY, BUT THE FISHMAN DISTRICT WILL REMAIN. BUT YOUR IDEA OF BREAKING THE BUBBLE AROUND THE ISLAND IS A GOOD ONE, I’LL ADMIT. WHEN I SAW THIS SHIP BLACK OUT THE SKY ABOVE THE ISLAND, I THOUGHT MY LIFE MIGHT BE OVER. IT WAS YOU WHO BETRAYED ME FIRST, DECKEN. IF YOU DIE HERE AND NOW, YOUR ABILITY’S EFFECT WILL VANISH...!!!” Hody’s furious face looms close as the accusations fly.

Decken continues, “...IS TO ENSURE THE DESTRUCTION OF THAT TROUBLESOME STRAW HAT CREW!! THOUSANDS OF MY ALLIES WILL PERISH ALONGSIDE THEM... BUT SLAVES CAN ALWAYS BE EASILY REPLACED!!!” while images show the massive ship Noah plummeting toward Fish-Man Island. Hody replies, “THE MOST IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW......DESTROYING EVERYTHING ON IT!!! THIS SHIP WILL ONCE MORE PLUMMET DOWN TOWARDS THE ISLAND...” and adds “I DO LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT, BUT... YOU MEAN TO KILL THEM ALLI” Hody then attacks, kicking Decken violently and shouting “...YOUR DEATH COMES FIRST!!!” as impact lines and debris fill the panel.

A massive horned fish-man reels back with a bloodied face, roaring "AAA ARGH HH!!!" as impact lines and debris explode around him. Nearby, a long-haired fish-man with a crown-like headpiece snarls through clenched teeth amid heavy motion lines and "!!!" effects. In the next tier, a wide-eyed figure in a hat shouts "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS... NO!!!" while a spinning weapon labeled "GYURU RURURU RUKU" streaks forward. A mermaid is struck hard, crying "HER GHH!!" as the attacker swings a spiked club. Below, the mermaid tumbles through the air with a desperate scream "AAAA RGHH HH!!!" while smaller figures tumble in the background.

A massive chained shell-like structure cracks open under strain, water and debris spraying outward with SFX "GOSHA AAAA AAAN" and "DOKA AAAA AAN". Inside the dim interior, a small figure clings to the ceiling. A voice declares "I HAD BETTER DISPOSE OF SHIRAHOSHI." Below, a chained object plummets through open water past a glowing bubble toward the distant sea floor as motion lines streak past. In a side panel a grinning fish-man laughs "JAHAHA HAHAH..." while another panel shows the same figure continuing "...NOW THEN, BEFORE THIS SHIP BEGINS TO FALL..."

Vander Decken IXShirahoshi

Two fish-men react in panic: "AND NOW HE'S HEADING THIS WAY!!" and "HODY TOOK OUT DECKEN!! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THOSE TWOI!!" A massive clash erupts as a shark-like fish-man is hurled aside with "GUAAAAA AHHH!!!" and "!I". Shirahoshi is grabbed mid-flight; an attacker yells "YOU'RE IN THE WAY!!!" and "HURRY UP AND DIE!!!". In the lower panels Shirahoshi's brothers shout "SHIRAHOSHI, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!" and "NOW THAT YOU'RE OUT OF SHELL TOWER IN THE OPEN WATER, DESTROYING YOU SHOULD BE A SIMPLE TASK!!!" Shirahoshi cries out "MY BROTHERS!!!" with tears streaming down her face.

Shirahoshi is violently slammed through the water, screaming "AAHHH...!!!" as chains and debris whip around her. In a lower panel Luffy stretches forward with "GOMU GOMU NO...". Shirahoshi continues to cry out in terror while a fish-man lunges at her. She shouts "MY BROTHERS!!!" as another voice declares "EVEN THE SPEED OF A MERMAID, FASTEST CREATURE UNDER THE SEA......IS NOTHING COMPARED TO ME NOW!!!" Impact effects and motion lines fill the frantic sequence.

A massive explosion of force erupts as a giant fish-man reels from a devastating strike. "NGUAAAA AHHHHH HHHH!!!" he screams while "SNAKE SHOT!!!" lands and "CRRRRR RRRRR RACK!!" echoes through the water. Below, Fukaboshi arrives amid the chaos. "B... BROTHER...!" he calls out. "MY APOLOGIES. I WOULD HAVE ARRIVED EARLIER, BUT THERE WERE A FEW PREPARATIONS TO BE MADE," he explains. Shirahoshi cries out in relief, "FUKABOSHI-ONIIISAMA!!!" while Luffy is greeted with "LUFFY-SAMA!!" The giant fish-man growls, "NGH....!" and mutters, "...MMM, THAT'S NOT AS STRONG AS I'D LIKE..." as "STRAW HAT!!" rings out from the side.

Hody Jones looms over Luffy inside a massive water bubble. "YOU HAVE NO CHANCE AGAINST ME!!!" he roars. "WE'RE IN THE OCEAN DEPTHS, YOU INFERIOR BEING!!!" he continues, threatening, "SHIRAHOSHI, FISHMAN ISLAND, YOUR CREWMATES... THEY'RE ALL DOOMED!!!" Luffy's eyes widen with fierce determination. "THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN PREPARING FOR, THESE PAST TWO YEARS!!!" he shouts. "YOU'RE WRONG. I'LL PROTECT THEM ALL!!!" he declares. Hody snarls back, "YOU CAN'T PROTECT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!"

Meanwhile, back in Gyoncord Plaza, the battlefield rages. "THEY'RE BOTH AS CRAZY BIG AS EACH OTHER... BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO FIGHT!" onlookers shout. "THE KRAKEN IS DOMINATING THE FIELD COMPLETELY!!!" they add as screams of "WAAA AAAHH HHHH!" fill the air. "MEANWHILE, BACK IN GYONCORD PLAZA..." reads a caption. "CAP'N BANDUH DEEEECK'N ABANDONED MEEEE!" wails Wadatsumi. "KEEP ON FIGHTING, UMBIOUZU!!" someone yells. "DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT KRAKEN ALREADY!!" the crowd demands. "HE NEVER HAD ANY INTENTION OF DESTROYING THIS ISLAND!!!" a fish-man protests. "HE LEFT THIS PLAZA IN YOUR HANDS!!!" another accuses. "LISTEN TO ME, OONYUUDOU!!! YOU SEEM TO BE GRAVELY MISTAKEN!! WE'RE NOT LISTENING PROPERLY TO WHAT DECKEN SAID!!" a striped figure shouts.

The striped fish-man continues, "AN ENERGY STEROID PILL!! BUT IT WILL REALLY HAVE ANY EFFECT ON HIS HUGE BODY...I" and "AND ANNIHILATE THE STRAW HAT CREW AS OUR COMRADE!!" while wondering "...IS DAT REALLY TRUEI!" Wadatsumi reacts with shock. "IT AFFECTED HIM LIKE CRAZY!!!" the crowd realizes as Wadatsumi bellows "HAAA AAHHH HHH!!!" and swings wildly. "CAP'N DECK'N!! I'M SORRY I EVER DOUBTED YOU!!!" he cries. "ALL RIGHT!! HE BEAT THE KRAKEN UP GOOD!!!" cheers erupt. "O... OVER HERE, WADATSUMI!!!" someone calls. "WHERE'S MY ENEMIESI!" Wadatsumi demands as "SURUME!! HANG IN THERE!!" rings out and "TWITCH TWITCH" marks the kraken's movement.

Nami shouts in alarm from the side, "JIMBEI-CHAN, WATCH OUT!!" as Jimbei launches into action. A voice calls out the technique name "NANASENMAI-GAWARA..." while Jimbei declares "ALL RIGHT!!" and delivers a powerful spinning kick labeled "MAWASHIGERI!!!!" The massive impact strikes the enormous creature's head, producing a thunderous "KRAAAA AAAAAA AAACK!!!" The creature reels from the blow as motion lines and impact effects fill the panel.

Nami cries out "HAH!!" as the shockwave sends her flying. The giant creature screams "WHAAA AAAAAA AAAAI!" and "OWWWW WWWW!!!" while being struck. Onlookers yell "NNN NAMI-SAAAAAAA AAAAAAN!!!" and "NAMI-SAN GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE SHOCKWAVE!!" as the massive beast crashes down with a "TWUUUMP". Jimbei's follow-up attack creates a huge explosion; the creature howls in pain while fish-men warriors react in shock, shouting "JIMBEI'S SCARY!!!" and "AAAAARG HHHHH!!"

NamiJinbeOonyuudou Wadatsumi

The giant creature, dazed, yells "WHO IS IT DIS TIMEI! DAT HURTS!!" and questions how Jimbei's kick could hurt something its size. It threatens, "IF YOU GIVE OUR BEAUTIFUL NAVIGATOR SO MUCH AS A SCRATCH... HOW DO YOU PLAN ON MAKING UP FOR IT, HUHI!" Sanji and Jimbei stand ready as a title card reads "OONYUUDOU WADATSUMI VS SANJI & JIMBEI". The creature roars "LET US DO BATTLE, OONYUUDOU!!" while Sanji and others prepare to fight.

The giant rampages, smashing structures as people scream "AAAAAG HHHHH!!" and "SOMEBODY HELP!!" A voice pleads "STOP!! PLEASE, STOP!!" while others shout "HE'S TONS MORE POWERFUL THAN USUAL!!!" and "THIS IS WAY BEYOND HIS NORMAL DRUNKEN ATTITUDE!!" The creature attacks with "CHIDORIASHI HASHI!!!" as blades clash violently. Someone cries "EVEN STEEL CAN'T STOP HIS BLADES!!!" amid the chaos of "GUAAAA AAAHH HHH!!!"

Oonyuudou Wadatsumi

Fish-men warriors stare in shock at the transformed Hyouzou. "YOU DON'T THINK...IT COULD BE THE SAME THING AS WHAT HAPPENED TO HODY-SAN...I!" one exclaims. Another notes, "UP 'TIL JUST NOW, HE SEEMED TO BE WRITHING IN PAIN, EVEN THOUGH HE HADN'T BEEN INJURED..." A third realizes, "COME TO THINK OF IT, HE WAS SCARFING DOWN ENERGY STEROIDS LIKE EDAMAME WITH HIS DRINK... THAT IS THE REASON!!!" The group panics as Hyouzou looms larger, roaring "UWIIIH HHH...!" The narration declares, "NOW HYOUZOU-SAN IS A COMPLETE MONSTER TOO!!!" Robin stands calmly in the foreground while a close-up shows a grinning fish-man declaring, "THE POWER... I CAN FEEL IT FLOWING THROUGH ME... I WANNA SLICE PEOPLE UP..." Below, panicked voices shout, "THERE'S NO WAY TO DEFEND AGAINST HIM!!" and "EVERYBODY RUN FOR IT!!"

Zoro suddenly appears and stops Hyouzou's massive blade with one sword, the impact sending shockwaves. Robin turns in surprise, "!I" Hyouzou's face twists in rage. In a smaller panel Robin calls out, "SORRY, ROBIN. I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS GUY. ZORO!" Zoro replies, "HE ACTUALLY STOPPED!!!" The massive clash produces a huge "GIIIIN!!!" explosion. A voice cries, "WHO AA..." Hyouzou roars in fury, "UWIIIHHHH HHHHHHH!!!" while a title box reads "ZORO VS HYOUZOU". Zoro thinks, "HE OUGHT TO MAKE A DECENT WARM-UP BEFORE I HEAD OUT INTO THE NEW WORLD...!!!" as impact sound effects "DODODODO" shake the panel.

SBS corner page. Reader R asks about Ishilly from Mermaid Cove and whether other island girls are based on fish. Oda answers that Ishilly is one of the kidnapped girls and introduces the top five Mermaid Café dancers: Ishilly (striped beakfish), Kairen (right-eye flounder), Hiramera (flounder), Seira (bluestriped angelfish), and Mero (sillago). Another reader, D, asks why "sun" is written in katakana as taiyou. Oda explains it was subconscious, done to make children's lines or Luffy's lines easier to read, and notes the deep-sea fish-men cannot see the real sun so katakana fits their world. Page ends with volume number 66.
