The title page shows the chapter number "239" and the title "ANGEL BEACH". Below, an illustration features a woman with long hair running away in panic from a massive, wide-mouthed frog-like creature with its tongue hanging out. Beside her, a man with a bucket on his head is also fleeing in terror. The text at the bottom reads, "WAPOL'S EATING BANZAI Vol. 4 'I, THE GREAT KING, WILL EAT A BENCH.'"

The Going Merry sails up a massive, winding river made entirely of clouds. Someone on the ship shouts, "WHAT'S GOING ON...!!? THE CLOUD IS IN THE SHAPE OF A BELT, JUST LIKE A RIVER...!!" As the ship continues its steep ascent, a huge, dark circular opening appears in the cloud wall ahead. A voice remarks, "I DOUBT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NATURALLY FORMED! THERE'S NO WAY IT'S NATURAL!!" As they get closer to the opening, someone notices, "THERE'S SOMETHING WRITTEN ON TOP!! IT'S THE EXIT!!"
02
The Going Merry approaches the massive opening in the clouds. Someone corrects the previous assumption, shouting, "IT'S NOT AN EXIT!! IT'S AN ENTRANCE!!" Above the opening, a large sign reads "GODLAND SKYPIEA". Voices read the sign in awe: "GOD LAND... SKYPIEA!!?" The crew reacts with a mix of shock, excitement, and disbelief. Usopp's jaw drops, Nami looks amazed, Luffy yells in pure excitement with his mouth wide open, Chopper looks stunned, Sanji has a surprised expression with his cigarette in his mouth, Nico Robin looks intrigued, and Zoro stares ahead with a serious but surprised look.

The Going Merry bursts through the entrance, launching into the air above a breathtaking landscape. Below them lies a vast sea of white clouds, and in the distance, a beautiful island made of clouds features lush palm trees, elegant buildings, and a grand palace-like structure at the highest point. A caption box reads, "-WHITE- WHITE SEA- GOD LAND 'SKYPIEA'". Someone on the ship exclaims, "THERE'S AN ISLAND...!!!" Luffy's voice booms out in sheer joy, "IT'S SKY ISLAND~~~~~!!!!!"

The Going Merry is anchored near the shore of the cloud island. The landscape is serene, with palm trees and small structures built on the fluffy white surface. A long staircase leads up to the higher parts of the island. Luffy jumps off the ship, his bare foot sinking into the soft, bouncy cloud ground with a "FUKA FUKA BAFU BAFU" sound. He throws his arms up in excitement and yells, "UHOOOOO--!! THE SURFACE OF THIS ISLAND IS THE FLUFFY CLOUD!!! YAH~~~~!! SKY ISLAND~~~~~!!!" Usopp and Chopper are seen running around happily in the background.

On the deck of the Going Merry, Zoro looks over the railing and asks, "HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE ANCHOR!? THERE'S PROBABLY NO BOTTOM HERE, RIGHT!?" Nami, already in her bikini on the cloud beach, waves back and says, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!! HURRY! LOOK, THIS BEACH IS SO FLUFFY!!!" Zoro mutters in annoyance, "'DON'T WORRY...' YOU..." Nearby, Sanji is happily watching Nami and Robin, saying, "IT'S LIKE IN A DREAM......ANYWAY, THIS SCENERY IS REALLY AMAZING... YUP... ALSO, SEEING THEIR HAPPY FACES... HAHAH, YOU JUST CAN'T HELP IT." Annoyed by Sanji's swooning, Zoro kicks him hard, sending him crashing to the deck. Sanji yelps, "OUCH! OUCH! SORRY, SORRY!!!" Zoro yells at him, "YOU'RE THE SAME AS THEM!" Meanwhile, Usopp jumps off the ship with a joyful "YAHOO~~~~!!!!"

Zoro continues talking to Nami from the ship. "I PUT IT DOWN... THAT... FLUFFY CLOUD SEEMS TO BE THE FOUNDATION OF THE ISLAND." Nami asks, "AND THE ANCHOR?" Zoro replies, "THERE SEEMS TO BE PEOPLE LIVING HERE; IT CAN PROBABLY SURVIVE." Sanji, recovering from Zoro's kick, mutters, "...JEEZ. FORGOT TO LET HIM GO EARLIER..." Nico Robin walks up to the railing and says, "...HEY, ISN'T 'SKYPIEA'..." Nami, smiling brightly on the beach, finishes the thought, "YUP... IT'S THE SAME AS THE NAME ON THE MAP THAT LUFFY FOUND! THAT 200 YEAR-OLD GALLEON THAT FELL ON US REALLY DID COME HERE." Robin looks thoughtful, "AT THAT TIME, I DIDN'T REALLY THINK A WORLD IN THE SKY REALLY EXISTED, BUT..." Nami laughs joyfully, "AFTER EXPERIENCING IT FIRST HAND, THERE'S NO MORE DOUBT ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE!! LOOK!!...HAHA."

Nico Robin looks out at the cloud beach and asks Zoro, "...WHAT ABOUT YOU?" Zoro, sitting on the railing with his swords, replies, "AH, I'LL GO TOO." Robin smiles gently and says, "I NEVER THOUGHT... THAT NAVIGATING AND LANDING... COULD BE ADVENTUROUS, TOO." On the beach, Luffy stands with his arms flexed and his mouth wide open, screaming in pure excitement, "HAAAAA~~~~~~!! WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!! IT REEKS WITH THE SCENT OF ADVENTURE!!!"

Nami stretches her arms up happily on the beach, wearing a bikini. "U~~~~~~N. THERE'S NO WAY THE MARINES CAN FOLLOW US HERE. WE CAN FINALLY RELAX!! IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE WENT TO THE BEACH." Usopp agrees, "YEAH, SINCE WE'VE ONLY BEEN STOPPING AT PORTS." Luffy is sitting on the ground, biting into a large, round fruit. "AAH~~~~THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH FUN STUFF, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FIRST. OVER." Usopp replies, "THIS IS USOPP. HOW ABOUT IF TAKE A BREAK HERE!?" Luffy immediately responds, "TAKE A BREAK... NOT BAD!! REJECTED!" Usopp yells back, "REJECTED MEANS YOU DON'T AGREE!!!" Chopper rolls around on the soft clouds, wondering, "THIS IS A BEACH...?" Sanji examines some strange, round plants. "THESE TOO... SUCH MYSTERIOUS BLOOMING FLOWERS. ARE THEY BALLOONS, TOO?" Luffy notices something else, "OH!? WHAT'S THAT STRANGE FRUIT?" Zoro is resting on a cloud chair, poking it. "IS THIS REALLY CLOUD? --BUT THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE FLUFFY CLOUDS! IT'S A LITTLE HARD." Nami is amazed, "WOW! THEY MUST HAVE CRAFTING TECHNIQUES TO MAKE THINGS OUT OF CLOUDS. WOW...! THIS CHAIR IS MADE OF CLOUD!!" Sanji dances over to Nami, offering a flower. "NAMI-SAN, A FLOWER FOR YOU~~~~~~<3" Zoro complains, "THAT HURT, YOU JERK!" Usopp calls out, "HEY, USOPP, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME FRUIT." Chopper points at something off-screen, "HEY, CHOPPER, LOOK! WHAT'S THAT?"

A small, white, fluffy fox-like creature appears, making a "SUU!! SUU!!" sound. Zoro looks at it, asking, "WHAT'S THAT!!?" Luffy, still holding his large fruit, notices it too. "OH!! WHAT'S THIS? A FOX?" Suddenly, a gentle harp melody, "PORORORON", fills the air. Luffy looks around, "HUH? WHAT'S THAT SOUND?" Sanji points towards a small cloud hill. "HEY, THERE'S SOMEONE OVER THERE!!" Zoro draws his sword slightly, "IS IT... ANOTHER GUERILLA!?" Usopp looks around nervously, "WHISTLE!! WHERE'S THE WHISTLE...!?" On top of the hill stands a young woman with small wings on her back and antennae on her head, playing a harp. Sanji's eyes widen in shock and awe. "WAIT, THAT'S NOT IT!!!...IT'S AN ANGEL!!" Someone else questions, "ANGEL!!?"

The winged girl smiles warmly and greets them, "HESO!!" Luffy looks completely shocked, yelling, "AH!!?" The girl asks, "ARE YOU GUYS FROM THE BLUE SEA?" Luffy confirms, "WE FLEW UP HERE FROM THE BOTTOM." He then asks her, "DO YOU LIVE HERE?" She replies, "YES, I LIVE HERE." She calls out to the small fox, "SUU, COME HERE!" The fox bounces over to her. She then offers them a drink, holding up a large, round fruit. "THIS IS SKYPIEA'S ANGEL BEACH. HEHE, THAT'S KONASSHU. DO YOU WANT TO DRINK IT?" Luffy looks confused, "HUH?" The girl uses a knife to cut a hole in the bottom of the fruit. "THE TOP IS LIKE STEEL, SO BITING WON'T DO ANYTHING. YOU HAVE TO GO FROM THE BOTTOM... ALRIGHT, ENJOY!" She hands the prepared fruit to Luffy.

Luffy drinks from the Konasshu fruit and his eyes widen in delight. "YUUUUUUUU UMM--!!!!!! IT TASTES SO GOOD!!" Usopp is shocked by his reaction. "WHAT!? IT'S THAT GOOD!!? THEN... PLEASE OPEN THIS ONE, TOO!!" The winged girl stands gracefully, holding the cloud fox Su in her arms. She introduces herself, "I'M CONIS." A caption box reads: "SKYPIEA ANGEL BEACH RESIDENT CONIS & CLOUD FOX, SUU." Sanji is completely smitten, swooning with heart eyes. "YES, I HAVE A PROBLEM. YOUR GAZE BURNS A HOLE IN MY HEART..." Nami glares at him and says, "GO AWAY." Conis kindly offers, "IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU." Nami approaches her, "THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WE WANT TO KNOW. TO START WITH, EVERYTHING HERE IS SO STRANGE TO US...." Conis smiles, "YES, PLEASE ASK ME ANYTHING!"

Someone spots something approaching on the cloud sea. "HEY, SOMETHING'S COMING FROM THE SEA!!" Luffy looks and says, "IT'S A SLUG!!" Conis recognizes the rider. "AH, IT'S MY DAD." A man riding a strange, ski-like vehicle approaches. He calls out, "CONIS-SAN, HESO!!" Conis waves back, "YES! HESO, FATHER!!!" Luffy is confused by the greeting. "ER, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?" Zoro watches the vehicle closely. "WHAT IS HE RIDING ON!?" Luffy thinks it's amazing. "IT LOOKS REALLY COOL!" Usopp realizes what it is. "AH... YOU MEAN THE 'WAVER'?" The man on the vehicle, who has antennae and a thick beard, tries to halt. "I'M SORRY, I AM GOING TO STOP NOW."

The man crashes his vehicle onto the beach with a loud thud. Zoro watches blankly and says, "AH--" Conis rushes over, concerned. "IS ANYBODY HURT?" Zoro retorts, "ASK YOURSELF THAT FIRST!!!" Nami turns to Luffy, who is drinking from a Konasshu. "LUFFY, DIDN'T YOU RECOVER THAT THING FROM UNDER THE SEA!!?" Luffy replies, "YAH, I DID." Nami realizes, "SO THAT'S A 'WAVER'...!! IN NORLAND'S DIARY, A SHIP THAT WILL SAIL WITHOUT WIND...!!!" The man stands up, dusting himself off. "ARE THEY YOUR FRIENDS, CONIS-SAN?" Conis explains, "YES, I JUST MET THEM, FATHER. THEY'RE FROM THE BLUE SEA." The man is surprised. "REALLY? THEY MUST BE REALLY CONFUSED ABOUT THINGS HERE THEN. THIS IS THE WHITE-WHITE SEA. I'M SORRY." Usopp waves his hands, "EH!? NO, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT..." The man bows apologetically. "I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS PAGAYA. I'M SORRY." Usopp reassures him, "NO, NO, IT'S ALRIGHT."

Pagaya holds up a basket containing large, strange-looking lobsters. "GOOD TIMING, I JUST FINISHED FISHING. I CAUGHT THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD IN THE WHITE-WHITE SEA. THESE ARE CALLED 'SKY LOBSTERS.' PLEASE COME TO MY HOME. I'LL TREAT YOU TO SOME OF THE SKY'S 'HAPPINESS.'" Luffy and Sanji are thrilled, throwing their arms up. "REALLY!? LET'S GO! LET'S GO!" Sanji adds, "YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE SKY ISLAND CUISINE? PLEASE LET ME HELP!" Nami interrupts, looking at the Waver vehicle. "BEFORE WE GO, MAY I ASK A QUESTION FIRST? HOW DOES THIS WORK? THERE'S NO SAIL... OR PADDLES. HOW COME IT CAN SAIL ON THE SEA!?" Conis looks surprised by the question. "...AH, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A 'DIAL' IS? 'DIAL'!?"

A table displays the names of the Straw Hat crew members (Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper) and how they are spelled and pronounced in different countries: Germany, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The columns are "COUNTRY", "JAPANESE NAME", "FOREIGN NAME", and "FOREIGN PRONUNCIATION". Below the table, a note from the author explains: "DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HAVE DIFFERENT SPELLINGS, BUT A LOT OF THEM HAVE THE SAME PRONUNCIATION, SO I PICKED THE ONES THAT SOUND UNIQUE AND LISTED THEM. I DIDN'T INCLUDE NICO ROBIN BECAUSE SHE HASN'T APPEARED IN THE BOOKS PUBLISHED IN THOSE COUNTRIES YET. OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE BEHIND THE JAPANESE RELEASES. BY THE WAY, SOMETIMES I GET MAIL FROM READERS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES, BUT I CAN'T READ THEM. (DOH!) I CAN STILL UNDERSTAND THEIR FEELINGS, THOUGH, SO I'M HAPPY. THANK YOU."
