The chapter title page displays the massive One Piece logo at the top. Directly beneath it, the text reads "CHAPTER 330: 'IT'S DECIDED!'". The central illustration is a dramatic close-up of a large white helmet marked with the Japanese character "番". Through a small rectangular window on the helmet, two figures are visible inside, one with wild hair. The helmet's wearer has a round, snout-like face with small eyes, a bandage on the right cheek, and flowing hair visible at the sides. A caption at the bottom states "GAPUS' LIFE IN BLUE SEA VOL.16 'THE PRIEST TOOK HIM IN AND REMOVED HIS HELMET.'" The author's name "Eiichiro Oda" appears below.

Nami aims her weapon from a balcony and shouts "SMASH THEM UP GOOD, GUYS!!" Below, a battered fish-man-like figure sweats heavily while apologizing "I'M SORRY, EVERYONE... NAMI... I'M SORRY..." Nearby panels show explosions and the line "ALL OUR MONEY... THEY TOOK...". At Franky House, large impact SFX shake the area. Franky yells "BUY THE BEST RUM AND MEAT IN THE SHOP!! WE HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY!! HAHA!!" while a long-nosed man cheers "YOU'RE GOING SHOPPING!". An opponent taunts "YOU LOST! YOU LOST!". A long-haired man with a hat reacts with "HUHI" as more SFX "ギャアアア" and "ははは" fill the air. He then shouts "JUST YOU WAIT! I'LL GET YOU BACK!! WAHA-HAHA!!" while Franky stands triumphantly in front of the house.

A towering, shirtless man with a hat stands amid rubble as smaller figures watch from behind, the air filled with heavy sound effects. A thought bubble recalls the decision: "GO TO THE FRANKIES' PLACE ALONE." Another wonders, "DID HE FEEL RESPONSIBLE AND..." The confrontation erupts as Luffy's massive fist smashes forward with a huge "FWOOM" impact. Franky, in his armored cyborg form, looms over smaller allies while shouting, "YOU ONLY HAVE 4!! 4 LITTLE GUYS AT THAT!!" Another voice mocks, "WAHAHAH!! ARE YOU HERE FOR THE MONEYI LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE!I" Luffy is identified with "STRAW-HAT LUFFY!!" A threat follows: "I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON, AND THEN TURN IN YOUR HEADS FOR THE BOUNTY MONEY!!" Franky's mechanical body takes the hit amid "GAN!!" and "FWOOM" effects as Luffy glares with intense focus.

Luffy stands firm in his vest and hat, facing the massive armored Franky. A voice taunts, "YOU MUST HAVE A DEATH WISH TO BREAK IN HERE WITH THAT LEVEL OF STRENGTH!" Another sneers, "SO YOU'RE THAT SOFTY LONG-NOSE'S CAPTAIN!I" Franky roars, "SHORTIE! I'LL GIVE YOU A FREE HIT," while Luffy's eyes widen in shock. The crew reacts in panic: "NOT EVEN A CANNON CAN SCRATCH THAT SUPER ARMOR!!" "WAHAHA HI!! HE'S GOING TO USE HIS FISTS!!" "WHAT'S HE DOINGI" "EHI" Luffy stretches back with "GOMU GOMU..." as Franky charges. A commanding voice cuts in, "THAT'S ENOUGH, BOY! LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO FIGHT CORRECTLY!!!"

Franky's massive armored form looms as shocked faces react with "!!I" The cyborg unleashes a devastating strike labeled "BAZOOKA!!!" with a huge "FWOOOSH" impact. The blow connects with explosive force, sending debris flying and leaving the armored suit cracked open.

The armored suit explodes violently with "PUAA..." and massive "FWOOOSH" effects, scattering wreckage everywhere. Franky is hurled backward amid the blast as a voice cries, "HE BROKE THROUGH THE SUPER ARMOR!!!" Luffy stands tall in the smoke, cape billowing, while terrified bystanders scream "AAAAAAAAH!!" Below, the defeated Franky Family panics: "LE...LE...LET'S TALK THIS OUT PEACEFULLY..." "WHAT DO WE DO!I" "MY GOD!!!" "LIKE... GENTLEMEN..." Luffy looks on with a stern, unyielding expression.

Explosions rock the area as multiple cannon-like weapons fire wildly. A voice yells, "DIE, SUCKERS!!!" while another shouts, "FIRE!!!" In the next sequence, a stern warrior with a headband glares and declares, "ROCK..." before unleashing his technique: "THREE SWORD STYLE!!" The panel erupts with impact lines and debris. The warrior spins mid-air with three swords drawn, shouting, "HUNTING!!!" as he slashes through incoming cannonballs in a powerful three-sword assault.

Massive explosions tear across a checkered floor as cannonballs slam down. Crew members scream in panic. One figure with a star hat yells, "TH... THOSE CANNON-BALLS ARE MADE OUT OF IRON!!" Another cries out, "OH MY GOD!! EVEN THE CANNON...!!!" The blasts send bodies flying amid smoke and debris while the group desperately reacts to the iron projectiles.

A swordsman orders, "ESCAPE THROUGH THE BACK DOOR!!" Panicked voices shout, "THIS IS BAD!! THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT NORMAL!!!" and "...YOU SHOULD'VE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK WHEN PICKING WHO TO ROB FROM!!"

In a grand hall, tensions explode as the Franky Family confronts Luffy and his allies. A voice declares, "THAT'S RIGHT. YOU TICKED US OFF." Another adds, "IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY ANY MORE..." and "YOU YAP TOO MUCH. ALSO..." The group threatens, "PULVERIZE YOU!" Luffy stands firm in his straw hat while Sanji adjusts his tie nearby. A massive impact erupts with "EV!!" as debris flies. On the right, a Franky Family member screams "GYAAAA!!!" amid destruction. Dialogue continues: "THE 200 MILLION WE GOT FROM THAT PINOCCHIO GUYI" "THE TRUTH IS, THAT MONEY IS NOT HERE ANYMORE!!" A large man pleads, "LE... LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS... WE D... DON'T HAVE TO RESORT TO VIOLENCE." Another insists, "ALL YOU WANT IS THE MONEY. RIGHTI" A Franky Family member yells, "WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE'S GOING EITHER!!" while noting, "HE'S PROBABLY ALREADY ON HIS WAY IN THE SEA TRAIN!!" and "OUR BOSS, FRANKY, ALREADY TOOK IT AND WENT SHOPPING!" Luffy glares as someone shouts, "YOU CAN'T GET YOUR 200 MILLION BACK ANY..." and "NO MATTER HOW MUCH HAVOC YOU WREAK..."

The Franky Family roars back, "THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY TO THEM! DON'T FORGET THAT WE'RE SCAVENGERS AND BOUNTY HUNTERS. WE'RE THE FRANKIES!!" A member yells, "IDIOT! DON'T GET SCARED!" as "PULVERIZE!I" echoes. They unleash their attack: "ANYTHING-GOES SHOT CANNON!!!" and "EAT THIS!! THE FRANKYS' SPECIAL ATTACK:" with a barrage of cannon fire, "WUOOOOOIII!!" The massive projectile hurtles forward. In the chaos, a voice cries, "HERE THEY COME!!" as the explosion "BOOOOM!!" engulfs the area, sending figures flying amid smoke and debris.

Amid the fray, someone shouts, "THEY'RE ONLY FOUR PEOPLE!!" while another commands, "CHOP THEM INTO PIECES!!" Luffy charges forward with powerful punches as the Franky Family members are struck down one by one. Close-ups show intense combat: a large man with a star emblem swings a weapon, Luffy delivers a devastating blow, and the horned-hatted fighter takes a hit. The battle concludes with the defeated group sprawled on the ground. The scene shifts to the exterior of Franky House at night, with "KOO KOO" sounds from birds and the structure standing under the moon.

At the ruined Franky House, a tall man with a weapon asks, "WHERE WOULD WE GOI" while another ponders, "SHOULD WE GO AFTER FRANKYI" The group discusses their next move: "AND WE CAN ONLY TAKE CARE OF FRANKY AFTER HE'S FINISHED SHOPPING..." A voice notes, "THOSE SMALL FRIES REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS..." and "DAMN IT..." The horned-hatted man lies exhausted on the ground, muttering, "WHAT NOWI DO WE WAIT HEREI I DON'T THINK HE'LL BE BACK ANY TIME SOON..." Distant "KOO" calls and "--H--" sounds fill the quiet aftermath as the crew considers their options.

Nami stands alone on the Going Merry as the ship creaks and breaks apart beneath her. Narration reads: "NAMI IS ALONE ON THE SHIP, AND ROBIN IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. THE SHIP ITSELF IS BREAKING DOWN, TOO..." Sanji leans over the wreckage and says, "WE'RE JUST WASTING TIME HERE. LET'S GO BACK." Nami turns and replies, "COME HELP LIFT HIM!" "OK! I'M DONE!" A close-up shows Nami's surprised face with a "I" as she processes something. Luffy stands determined and declares, "I'VE DECIDED..." Usopp looks up from under his hat and asks, "THE SHIP... HMI" Someone calls out, "HEY, LUFFY!!" In a dramatic close-up, Luffy shouts with intense expression, "SAY GOOD-BYE TO GOING MERRY!" and continues, "IT'S TIME TO..." The page ends with a large "!!!I" reaction and the One Piece logo.
