The chapter title page displays "Chapter 453: 'CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF BONES'". Below it, a large panel shows Enel floating high among the clouds, wearing a plaid aviator cap and goggles, gripping the string of a massive balloon. Three smaller figures with similar caps and weapons drift on separate balloons around him, one holding a sword. The bottom caption reads "ENEL'S GREAT SPACE MISSION VOL. 21 'LET'S GO TO THE MOON!!'".

Inside Thriller Bark's "Perona's Wonder Garden", a massive impact shakes the bridge as "ドゴォォゴゴ" echoes. Zombies shout in confusion: "OUR ZOMBIE BODIES SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DISOBEY OUR MASTER'S ORDERS!!" and "HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, NEW GUYI!" A large panel reveals the chaos below as a powerful figure sends zombies flying. One zombie exclaims, "...ALSO, HE'S AS STRONG AS A GENERAL...!!!" while others wonder, "SO, WHY... CAN HE DEFY THEMI!" The scene shows a bear-like zombie, an elephant zombie, and others sprawled amid rubble.
A close-up shows a stitched dog-like zombie in a checkered hat declaring, "THE NAME OF THAT HURRICANE IS... LOVE!" and "A POWER THAT CAN'T BE JUDGED BY ORDINARY MEANS... A POWER TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE...!!! IT'LL BLOW EVERYTHING AWAY!" Nearby, panicked zombies yell "WHAAA!! HE REALLY IS OUR ENEMY!!!" and "STOP WITH YOUR FUCKING MUMBLING, PIRATES!!" Others note, "HEY, DOG-PEN!! DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT SANJII!" and "IT REMINDS ME OF SANJI-KUN...!!!" A terrified lion zombie screams "WAIT, LOLAAAAAAA!!!" while another shouts "I HEAR SOMETHING COMING!! WHAT IS IT THIS TIMEI!"

A wild boar zombie lunges forward with "A WILD BOARI!" and "LET ME CATCH YOU. HUHUHUHUHU!!!" Nami appears shocked, protesting "B-BUT I HAVEN'T STOLEN ANYTHING YET!!!" The boar roars "I FOUND YOU!!! THE WOMAN OVER THERE!!! YOU 'THIEF CAT'!!!" Nami cries "HUHI MEI" and "WAIT A MINUTE!!!" The boar declares "I WON'T GIVE AB-SAMA TO YOU!!!" while a small figure yells "WHOI!" amid the chaos.

A massive stitched dog-zombie lunges forward with a furious "NUI!" as a huge blade-wielding creature swings down with a resounding "ヤキーン". Nami shouts desperately from the side, "DON'T LAY A HAND ON THAT LADY!!!" The attacker roars back, "DON'T INTERRUPT!!!" and delivers a crushing blow that sends debris flying. In the chaos, the dog-zombie is hurled aside, its checkered helmet rolling across the ground. Usopp and Chopper stare in horror as someone cries, "DOG-PEN, WHY DIDN'T YOU ATTACKI!" and "DOG-PEN WAS BEATEN!!"

Absalom snarls, "THAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR HUSBAND-TO-BE, SO REMEMBER IT WELL!! MY NAME IS ABSALOM!!" and unleashes a devastating "THUNDER CHARGE"!!! that blasts through the air with a massive "GWAHH!" Nami stares in shock. Elsewhere, Nami runs while shouting "NAMI!!! YOU DID WELL! NOW RUN!! WE'RE LEAVING THIS FOREST." Usopp and Chopper follow as Absalom pursues with powerful strikes.

Absalom reels from the impact, growling, "YOU CAN TELL HE'S NOT NORMAL JUST BY LOOKING AT HIM... HURRY!! WHA... WHATI! HE'S NOT BEATEN YETI!... IT'S LIKE I WAS SUDDENLY HIT BY LIGHTNING... WHAT IS THIS... THIS SHOCK THAT IS SURGING THROUGH MY BODY...I!" He lunges again, roaring, "I WON'T LET YOU RUN AWAY!!! YOU THIEF CAT!!! LOVEI! IS THIS..." while the zombies watch and comment, "THAT'S RIGHT!! PERONA-SAMA'S PUNISHMENT WILL BE WAITING FOR US IF WE FAIL!! IT'S OUR JOB TO CAPTURE THOSE THREE!! H-HEY, NOW ISN'T THE TIME FOR US TO BE STANDING AROUND AND LOOKING AT THEM." One zombie mutters, "BUT WHY AM I PROTECTING THAT GIRL...I!... I CAN'T LET A LADY BEING TARGETED... -- ALSO, MY BODY CAN'T MOVE AS WELL AS I THOUGHT IT COULD!! MY FLESH IS... TOO WEAK...!!!"

Wild zombies shout in defiance: "WE ARE THE UNDERLINGS OF PERONA-SAMA!! WE AREN'T UNDER YOUR CONTROL!!" and "WE, THE WILD ZOMBIES, ARE UNDER ORDERS FROM OUR MASTER." Others yell "SHUT UP!! YOU ERO-SALOM!!" A commanding voice orders, "WILD ZOMBIES! WAIT!! DON'T LAY A HAND ON THAT WOMAN!! HURRY UP AND CATCH THOSE THREE!!" The lion-faced general zombie Absalom roars "GARURURU RURU!!!!" and "I'M TELLING YOU TO WAIT!!!" as the elephant zombie reacts with "HIII" and "!!I". Absalom snarls at the defiant zombies, "CLOSE THAT... ARROGANT MOUTH OF YOURS...!!!!" and warns, "I KNOW THAT YOU'RE UNDER PERONA'S CONTROL, BUT, YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE ME ANGRY."
Absalom glares and demands, "WHAT IS IT, YOU BASTARD...!I" A penguin-like zombie bounces forward with motion lines as Absalom's group reacts. A voice warns, "DON'T MAKE ABSALOM ANGRY!!!" while another says "HE-HEY, NEW GUY, STOP IT." The dog-faced zombie growls, "CHASE THAT LADY....!!" and "... I WON'T LET YOU..." A close-up shows Absalom's intense stare with sweat drops. In the background the penguin zombie continues its pursuit through the ruined courtyard as a small panel shows a glaring eye. Silence lingers with "........" and "Z......" as tension builds.

A massive impact erupts with "DODODODON...!!!" and "DOWAA!!!" as the penguin zombie is blasted backward amid debris and "GYAAA AAAAA". The dog zombie and others react in shock with "...!!!" and "GYAAA...". Explosions and crashes continue with "DOKAAAN!!" and "DOKAAAN!!". Nami shouts, "HEY, NAMI, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THEY'RE TARGETING....!!" while a goggled crewmate yells, "A LUREI! YOU COLD-HEARTED BASTARD. SHOULDN'T WE SPLIT INTO TWO GROUPSI" The boar zombie charges as someone cries, "THAT WILD BOAR IS SCARY!!!" and "WAAAAAAA AAAAAA!!!!!!" The goggled fighter warns, "IT'S REALLY TROUBLE-SOME."
Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp stand together as a sign reads "General Zombie Side". They react with "THOSE THREE..." "NO WAY." and a sound effect "DON...". A giant spider zombie bursts from the wall with "DOOON!" yelling "JUST LIKE STRAWHAT JUST NOW!I WE'RE SUCKED INTO THE WALL" and "MONKEY MONKEY! HAHAHAHAHA-HAHA!I YOU'LL SOON BE SUCKED IN THERE TOO!" Luffy stands below as the spider looms. Armored zombies advance with "CLANK... CLANK..." and "CLANK..." while one declares, "YOU'RE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY IMMORTAL ZOMBIES!! ACCEPT IT!!!"

A grotesque, wide-eyed figure with a massive grin reports through the ghost network: "ARE BEING REPORTED DIRECTLY TO PERONA-SAMA'S GHOST NETWORK!" Nearby, a long-haired man with a scar laughs, "HAHAHAHA!! ALL YOUR MOVES." He continues, "THE HUGE SPIDER WEB THAT SUNNY GOT STUCK IN AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE ISLAND IS YOURS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE A STUPID SPIDER OR A STUPID MONKEY... BUT -- I WONDER IF THOSE BIG EARS OF YOURS ARE PART OF YOUR INFORMATIVE POWERI THEY LOOK LIKE EARS THAT CAN HEAR QUITE WELL..." The short-haired woman stares back coolly. The wide-eyed figure suddenly panics, "HUHI...WHATI THEY'RE JUST FOR SHOWI!" The woman replies, "I'LL TRY COPING WITH YOU.... DO WHAT YOU WANT." The scarred man smirks, "WE NEED AN URGENT COUNTER-PLAN, SO...... THIS SITUATION IS THE WORST...!! THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED 'BEING PLUGGED UP FROM ALL SIDES.'" He adds, "HEHE... ISN'T THAT RELIABLE. WELL, HERE GOES. 'COUP DE'..." In the distance, a top-hatted figure stands amid zombies and wreckage as someone shouts, "CAN YOU LEAVE IT TO MEI"
The wide-eyed figure screams in shock, "HMMMMM, WHAAAAAAT!I YOU JUST BROKE THE BRIDGE!!" A massive explosion erupts as the bridge shatters, "VENT"!!! Debris flies everywhere. The short-haired woman calls out an attack, "CIEN FLEUR"!! while the scarred man watches. A voice notes, "-- WELL, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SUCH A VIOLENT PERSON." The wide-eyed figure is sent flying amid the chaos with impact sounds "GYAAAAA AAAAA" and "ドドドドドド". The scarred man yells, "WOOOO NUU!!" as more destruction rains down.

The short-haired woman sprouts large white wings, shouting "WING"!!! as she soars upward. The scarred man reacts in surprise, "WHA-I!" Below, the wide-eyed figure is struck, "FLYINGI!" The woman explains while flying, "YES, BUT IT'S ENOUGH...!!! FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. SO SHORT!!!" Impact lines and motion effects fill the vertical ascent as the pair rocket toward the upper levels of the fortress.
The short-haired woman launches a powerful strike, "STRONG RIGHT"!!! with the scarred man assisting, "ALRIGHT!!!" The wide-eyed figure is sent flying off the ledge with a long trail, "うおおおおおお". The scarred man calls out, "WOO, RETURN, HAND!!!" while the woman lands and says, "UGH...!! SORRY, I CAN'T GO ANY FARTHER...!!! IF WE CAN SOMEHOW GET TO THE ENTRANCE, WE CAN CHASE STRAWHAT." The wide-eyed figure tumbles away into the distance.
A massive explosion rocks the towering structure as debris and smoke erupt violently. A chained figure plummets through the air with a startled "OOPS". Below, the dark-haired woman with a facial scar catches her breath, sweat visible on her face. She speaks firmly: "IT'S NOT OVER YET, BUT IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME FOR THEM TO FIND US AGAIN." Nearby narration notes, "... EVERYONE IS ALREADY IN THE COURTYARD." From the lower level, an angry voice yells, "...!! HEY, YOU BASTARDS! I'M A SPIDER! I'LL BE OVER THERE SOON ENOUGH!" A cloaked figure on the ground retorts sharply, "YOU BASTARD, YOU USED ME LIKE A FOOTSTOOL TO JUMP UP THERE!!" The woman above replies, "YOU DID WELL..."

Multiple characters react in shock to something plummeting from above. Voices cry out, "WHAT IS THATI!" "HUHI" "... EHI" and "HMMI" A large skeletal figure with wild hair and a top hat falls dramatically through the air, screaming "あぁぁぁぁ" as impact lines emphasize the descent. Someone shouts, "NO, IT'S SOMEONE!!!" and "SOMETHING IS FALLING FROM THE SKY..." The figure crashes into the ground amid soldiers and debris with a massive "ボォォーン!!" and the exclamation "JUST BONES, OF COURSE!!!" followed by "BOOOOO-OOOOOONE!!" as bones scatter everywhere.
