The title page for Chapter 188 “Okama Kenpou” displays a large cover illustration. In the foreground, the octopus fishman Hachi thrashes desperately in the shallow water with multiple arms raised, mouth agape and eyes wide in panic. Behind him on a small rocky island topped by a single palm tree, a fisherman sits holding a fishing rod. Small birds fly in the cloudy sky above the sea. Below the panel, text reads: HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 6 “HACHI RECEIVES A RING AS A SHOW OF THANKS”.

A grand palace with domes and towers fills the background. A large speech bubble declares “Destroy...”. In the foreground, someone shouts “WHAT!I”. Inside the palace hall, Igaram gestures emphatically and states, “THIS HAS BEEN THE PALACE FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY FOR OVER 4000 YEARS!”. A bird-masked guard demands, “WHAT'RE YOU SAYING, PRINCESS!I”. In a lower panel, a cloaked man with long black hair pleads “PRINCESS VIVI! PLEASE!” while facing a young woman with a ponytail who is told, “PLEASE ABANDON SUCH FOOLISH IDEAS!”.

Igaram continues arguing, “THE KING MIGHT BE AWAY, BUT YOU CANNOT APPROVE OF SUCH A RIDICULOUS PLAN!”. Commander Chaka replies firmly, “COMMANDER CHAKA, DO NOT MAKE THE WRONG DECISION!”. Nearby reactions show “AHH!” and close-ups of tense faces. A voice asserts, “THE COUNTRY IS ITS PEOPLE.” Chaka murmurs “...Princess.”. In the grand hall, soldiers stand at attention as a figure kneels and declares, “WE SHALL DO AS YOU SAY.”, prompting shocked reactions of “!!!!I” and sound effects “ドドド...!!”.

A powerful impact panel shows a large figure being struck with heavy SFX “ビカーン” and “ドカッ!!”. In the next scene, a flamboyant man with swans on his shoulders stands triumphantly with one foot on a fallen person's head. He taunts, “Gahahaha! You turned out to be all talk, didn’t you!I”. A voice from off-panel asks, “Has the first-rate cook got any strength to even stand up nowI”. The defeated figure lies face-down with “HAH” and motion lines indicating struggle, surrounded by more large SFX “ビリビリ” and “ズドン”.

A furious close-up shows Sanji's face twisted in rage, veins bulging and eyes wild as he snarls, "DON'T GET COCKY WITH ME, YOU GOD-DAMNED..." while a massive SFX "クゴゴゴゴ" erupts behind him. Another balloon declares, "DON'T THINK I'LL CONTINUE TO TAKE YOUR ABUSE LYING DOWN...! NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU RESEMBLE NAMI, YOU'RE STILL THE SAME OKAMA INSIDE!" Below, a smaller panel captures Nami's silhouette from behind as she faces a bizarre swan-like creature; someone yells, "DAMMIT NAMI, YOU'RE JUST TOO CUTE!" with laughter "GA HA HA HA" echoing. Sanji kneels dramatically on the ground, heart-eyed and blushing, shouting "Okamaaa!" with a heart symbol. In the large bottom panel Nami stands center stage, sweat drops flying, her revealing outfit and goggles on display as she fans herself and purrs, "Oh, this country's just soooo hoot..." while thinking "It just makes me wanna strip off all my clothes..." amid floating hearts and large SFX "はるん" and "とくん!!".

Sanji lunges forward with a spinning kick, yelling "OKAMA CHOP!" as impact lines and hearts explode around the swan creature. In the next panel he kneels again on the street, hands clasped, offering "May I helpI" with a giant heart floating beside him. A close-up reveals a monstrous, striped-faced figure with wild hair and an enormous grin shouting "SILLY GOOSE!" while another panel shows Nami's foot slamming into the creature's face with "MY EYE!" and SFX "ぎゃあ" and "あぁぁ". The bottom splash depicts the giant creature's massive shoe stomping down with "KICK POINTE!" and bold SFX "ゴキッ" as debris flies.

The monstrous figure is hurled skyward amid swirling swan necks and buildings, laughing maniacally "GAHA HAHA HAHA!" with huge SFX "ギャウンッ". A smaller panel shows the creature's face covered in mascara and lipstick, arms crossed, yelling "BOOMERANG!" while speech bubbles read "PLUCK" and "MASCARA". Sanji stands nearby, exasperated, saying "Ngh... I've just about had it up to here with your games...!" The bottom sequence erupts into chaos: Nami spins wildly with "FLASH!" and "Kyaa!", the creature cries "Please don't kick me!" with a heart, and Sanji is struck with "GAH-" and "MASCARA CATCH!" amid swirling SFX "おかまごろし" and impact lines.

Sanji is sent flying backward in a dramatic arc, grunting "UGH!!" as the creature clamps onto his leg with multiple "CLACK!" sounds and declares "MASCARA CATCH!". In the next row Nami smirks confidently, declaring "I've got myself a princess to kill, after all!" while adding "As much as I'd loooove to play with you some more, I'm afraid I haven't got the time!" Sanji reacts with "...!" and "NGH!". The final splash shows the creature spinning rapidly on a pedestal, arms raised, shouting "So I do believe it's time to finish you off for good!" and "SPIN, SPIN, SPIN!" while Sanji yells "I'LL SPIN UNTIL MY VERY PASSION BURNS THROUGH THESE SLIPPERS!" with large SFX "ぐるん" and "ぐるわ" filling the air.

A massive spinning kick erupts with the title "OKAMA KENPOU!" as the narration recalls "MÉMOIRES OF THAT SUMMER DAY!" A lone figure stands in the distance amid swirling clouds and impact lines. In close-up, Sanji's face appears with swirling eyes, thinking "Could it beI" and "HmmI" while a small panel shows him in a black coat exhaling "HUFF..." with motion lines. The action explodes as Sanji launches a powerful spinning kick labeled "Joue! (Cheek)" with a large "!!" impact. Mr. 2 Bon Clay stares in shock from the side, eyes wide and mouth agape.

Sanji's massive kick continues through the air with "SHOOT!" as it connects, sending Mr. 2 flying backward amid smoke and debris with "GAHH!" and a small "t..." reaction. Sanji lands on a rooftop, declaring "I've finally figured the secret behind your fruit..." while tapping "TAP..." on the ground. Below, Mr. 2 crashes into a building with "ガチャ...!!!" and more impact effects as Sanji's legs remain visible in the foreground.

In the ruined street, Sanji stands opposite Mr. 2 and states "Of course, I can't attack you either then... You can't use your Okama Kenpou when you're in Nami's body, am I rightI" Mr. 2 reacts with shock: "JUST WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOU'VE FIGURED OUT ABOUT MY FRUIT!I" and "WHAAAA!I WHAT'RE YOU ACTING SO CHEEKY ABOUT ALL OF A SUDDEN!I" Sanji laughs "GAHAHAHA!" and explains "By touching your face with your left hand... But just before you can attack me... You'll always turn back into an okama." Mr. 2 panics with "W-whaaatI What was that again!I I couldn't hear you at all!" while a distant figure watches. A small panel shows "Bull's-eye, huh."

Mr. 2 shouts desperately "It's just as you said! Without this supple body I've trained everyday, I caaaann't uuuuusssseee my Okama Kenpou! But so what!I You're already in pretty bad shape!" as he leaps high with "SOOOOO WHAA!I" Sanji stands below watching. In a dramatic close-up, Mr. 2 transforms with wings and swan-like limbs, declaring "PRIMA!" and "And on top of that! It's now time for my Okama Kenpou's..." with large impact lettering and motion lines filling the panel.

In a city street lined with domed buildings, a flamboyant fighter in a striped outfit and flowing cape stands with arms outstretched beside two swans. A blond man with his back turned snaps, "LIKE I CARE!" The fighter replies, "The one on your right is male, while the one on the left is female. And let me just add this!" The blond man turns with a shocked expression as the fighter laughs wildly, "GAHAHAHA! Well, we'll just see how much you care when you get a taste of 'em!" declaring "OKAMA KENPOU-". The fighter launches a powerful spinning kick, shouting "BOMBARDIER!" as the blond man is struck hard amid swirling impact lines and motion effects.

The blond man reels from the strike, eyes wide as he gasps "AH-". The fighter's kick connects with a massive impact, "オォォォ". The blond man shouts "PIERCE!" while dodging as the fighter's leg swings past with "!!!". In the next exchange the fighter notes the blond man's "A curved neck!" and "steel bill", laughing "GAHAHAHA!" while confirming "Correct! Dodging was the correct answer!" The blond man stares in disbelief, thinking "W-WHAT'S WITH THAT HOLE HIS KICK LEFT ON THE WALL...!I"

14
The fighter explains his technique while perched on a swan: "It's best to think of my kicks as a rifle shot. But one with quite a laaaarrge bullet! When true power is concentrated onto a single point, it causes no unnecessary destruction!" Smoke rises from a precise hole in the wall. He then lunges forward shouting "ALLOW ME TO GIVE YOUR BODY SOME VENTILATION!" and delivers rapid strikes, "UN! WHOA! NGH! DEUX!" as the blond man is battered by the barrage.

15
The fighter continues his assault with a high kick labeled "COLLIER!" yelling "ORAA!" The blond man is sent flying by the impact. In a close-up the fighter declares "I DON'T THINK SOOOO!" while the blond man is shown mid-air taking another hit amid motion lines and debris. The sequence ends with the blond man still reeling from the relentless Okama Kenpou barrage.

A powerful kick sends a small figure flying through the air amid massive impact lines and debris. "UGH!" cries the distant figure. In the next panels a tall figure in a striped outfit and cape declares, "LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!" while laughing "GAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA!" An opponent on the ground clutches his face, shouting "HIS RANGE IS SO MUCH LONGER! DO... DAMN IT!!" The striped figure launches into a dramatic spinning aerial attack, shouting "FLY, FLY, WATCH ME FLY! OKAMA KENPOU-" as the narration reads "MÉMOIRES OF THAT WINTER SKY!" The cityscape and winter sky backdrop emphasize the high-speed aerial maneuver.

The long-haired fighter coughs and thinks, "It'll take longer for him to recover after an attack... If I can dodge the first attack, speed is on my side..." while another voice says "HAH But at the same time..." The striped fighter spins rapidly and yells "REST IN PEACE!" A small round figure is struck and sent flying. The long-haired fighter grins widely and taunts, "Gahaha! Too bad so sad! Let's see you attack this!" as the striped fighter continues his spinning assault with motion lines and impact effects.

A close-up shows a wide-eyed character with swirly eyebrows reacting in shock, "Ah-" and "ReallyI" while another figure with a headband says "HuhI I think you've got something on your cheek. Hey." The scene cuts to a massive spinning kick labeled "BASSES-CÔTES (Bottom-Ribs)" that strikes the opponent with tremendous force, producing a huge impact and the cry "BUHAH!I" The curly-eyebrowed fighter delivers the devastating blow amid swirling motion lines and debris.

SBS question corner page. A fan letter asks why One Piece isn't shown on TV where they live and requests it be broadcast locally. Oda replies that it is shown on 27 stations nationwide as of Dec. 4, 2001, notes three prefectures without broadcast (Aomori, Yamaguchi, Oita), and suggests writing to Fuji TV stations. He shares that he grew up in Kyushu and understands the frustration with Tokyo-centric programming. A second letter is omitted. The page features the large SBS logo and Oda's caricature.
