The colorful title page shows the Straw Hat crew racing forward in high spirits. A large ornate green carriage pulled by two armored horses speeds along a stone bridge, kicking up dust. Chopper peeks from the roof in his pink hat. Inside, Usopp leans out shouting, Sanji sits with a cigarette, and Zoro lounges with swords visible. Luffy pedals furiously alongside on a red bicycle, tongue out and focused, with a small green turtle on the handlebars. A black-and-yellow checkered flag waves from the carriage. Bold red text reads "Riding high already" above the ONE PIECE logo. At the bottom, the chapter title is displayed: Chapter 274: "ORATORIO".

Multiple panels depict tense discussion among Skypiea figures. A large close-up shows a long-haired man with an earring asking, "MAKE US THE EVIL ONESI" and "DOES THAT NOT". Below, a chaotic panel shows warriors clashing with impact lines and SFX "ウワァ" as a voice states "ALL THEY WANT IS TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND, YET...". In a grand hall, a robed elder with a staff warns "GOD'S MILITIA MAY HEAR YOU." and "PLEASE DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT, GOD-SAMA." while another figure replies "..." and "BISH". A stern bald man with a scar declares "AREN'T WE RESPONSIBLE... FOR CONTINUING THEIR FIGHTI" and "OUR COUNTRY'S TREASURE MUST BE PROTECTED!". Nearby figures discuss "TOOK GOD'S ISLAND." "IS BECAUSE 400 YEARS AGO OUR ANCESTORS" and "THE PROSPERITY OF THE CURRENT CITIZENS OF SKYPIEA".

The page continues the debate. An elderly bearded man in bed says "BE IT US" and "OR THEM..." while another panel shows "400 YEARS..." and voices arguing "THEY DESERVE NO PITY!!" "BUT THEY'VE FLATLY REFUSED!" "WE'VE TRIED TO COMPROMISE,". A landscape panel shows a forested island with SFX "わああああ" as someone admits "WE'VE FOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR TOO LONG..." "BECAUSE" "IT IS TOO HARD TO ADMIT DEFEAT". The final panels erupt into action: a warrior shouts "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!I WHO ARE YOU!I" "YOU'RE NOT SHANDIANS!!" as attackers burst in with impact SFX "ワアァァァ" and cries of "HELP!!!" "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!". A large speech bubble announces "GOD ENEL" "...!!!" while a figure identifies "THEIR LEADER CALLS HIMSELF".

On the shores of Angel Beach, Angel Island, Skypiea, two children gaze at a distant house on a hill. One says, "YEAH." Another recalls, "A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ALWAYS USED TO BE PLAYING A LYRE IN THIS HOUSE!I" and "...HEY, DIDN'T THERE USED TO BE..." A third voice adds, "AH! I REMEMBER NOW." In a thatched hut, three winged children discuss the past. One exclaims, "YES!! MY FATHER SAID THEY REBELLED AGAINST GOD!!" Another shouts, "YEAH! THEY EVEN HELPED THE EVIL CITIZENS OF THE BLUE SEAS!!" A boy with spiky hair cries, "REALLY!I THAT WOMAN IS ACTUALLY A BAD PERSON! HER FATHER, TOO!!" A small child with fluffy hair murmurs, "OH..." The boy continues, "BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN HIS FACE, NOT EVEN ONCE. HE'S BEEN WORKING FOR GOD... MY MOTHER KEEPS SAYING HE'LL BE BACK SOON." A girl in a long coat states, "MY FATHER IS PART OF THE MILITIA..." as another child asks, "HEY, DID YOU KNOW..."

The antenna-haired child beams with excitement, shouting, "ME TOO!! I HOPE I CAN MEET YOUR FATHER SOON!!" The spiky-haired boy replies, "BUT HE'S WORKING DIRECTLY UNDER GOD! YOUR FATHER IS INCREDIBLE!" Suddenly the scene shifts to a massive explosion. A scarred, furious man roars, "SKYPIEA WILL FALL INTO THE BLUE SEAS!!" as a figure on a flying device is struck amid debris and impact lines reading "ドドドド" and "ズバババ". Nami appears in close-up, sweat flying, declaring, "...I CANNOT LET THAT MAN'S SACRIFICE BE IN VAIN!" and "THIS COUNTRY... WILL VANISH INTO THIN AIR!!" with heavy breathing sounds "HAA". In the background, a snake-like form coils with SFX "オオオ..." while a distant voice yells, "TELL EVERYONE!!" and another states, "I MUST..."

Enel sits atop his massive drum in the ruined city, laughing "YAHA-HAHA-HAHA...!!!" while declaring, "YOU'RE GOING TO... ELIMINATE MEI" Nami stares in shock, thinking, "THAT GUY IS DANGEROUS...!!!" and "OH NO...!!!" Gan Fall, the old warrior on his bird, faces him and says, "...HOW-EVER... I WOULDN'T EXPECT LESS FROM THE SURVIVORS OF THIS GAME..." A close-up shows Gan Fall's stern face as he asks, "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TOI" while thinking "...!!!" The ruined cityscape stretches behind them with scattered survivors visible in the distance.

From a high vantage, Gan Fall's voice echoes, "WHAT A GOD IS...!!!" and "IT SEEMS THAT... YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND." In close-up, Gan Fall continues, "THE WARRIOR FIGHTING TO RETURN TO HIS HOMELAND..." while another voice notes, "...YAHAHAHA... THE OLD MAN FIGHTING FOR THE PROSPERITY OF SKYPIEA..." Wyper, bandaged and gripping his weapon, declares, "EVEN THE COUNTRY ITSELF HAS SINNED GREATLY!! THIS WORLD IS FILLED WITH SO MANY... TROUBLED LAMBS." A stern man with a cap adds, "AND PIRATES FROM THE BLUE SEA TRYING TO STEAL THE GOLD..." A dark-haired woman watches silently with hands clasped. Ruined buildings and a massive tree frame the devastated landscape.

Gan Fall speaks calmly with eyes closed, "I SIMPLY SEEK TO RETURN, GAN FALL!" A massive figure with four drums on his back looms in the background as soldiers demand answers: "AND WHERE THE MILITIA MEMBERS ARE BEING HELD CAPTIVE!I" "TELL ME WHAT YOU SEEK TO ACCOMPLISH HERE" "...INSTEAD OF TALKING NONSENSE, WHY DON'T YOU" A small "..." floats near the central figure. Below, a woman with a ponytail replies, "...YES, I HAVE A PLACE WHERE I SHOULD BE. ON THE SKY ISLAND WHERE I WAS BORN, WHERE PEOPLE SAY GOD LIVES." Gan Fall reacts with shock, "RETURN...!I" The scene widens to show ancient ruins and a massive structure in the clouds. In the foreground, the shirtless, muscular man with a turban and suspenders declares, "AND THERE IS A LIMITLESS AMOUNT OF EARTH. PEOPLE CALL IT FAIRY VEALTH...!!!"

Enel spreads his arms wide in a massive close-up, shouting with mouth agape, "THAT IS WHAT I DESERVE TO HAVE!!!" and "THAT IS THE IDEAL WORLD I SEEK!!" He continues, "THIS GOD'S ISLAND... THIS PUNY PIECE OF EARTH IS NOTHING, YET YOU'VE FOUGHT FOR CENTURIES TO CONTROL IT!!!" Below, Gan Fall appears with eyes closed, narrating, "NOT A BIRD, BUT LIVES IN THE SKY... NOT A CLOUD, BUT BORN OF THE SKY;" Enel questions from the side, "THINK ABOUT IT... THE REASON YOU FIGHT IS ACTUALLY MORE PHILOSOPHICAL....DO YOU UNDERSTANDI"

A wide view shows the ruined city crumbling under massive impact lines and debris as Gan Fall declares, "EARTH, MEN, AND GOD, ALL HAVE A PLACE THEY BELONG!!!" and "THIS COUNTRY IN THE SKY DEFIES ALL LAWS OF NATURE!!!" A soldier reacts with "!I" In close-ups, Gan Fall grins fiercely, "I AM SENDING YOU ALL TO WHERE YOU BELONG... BELOW THE SKY!!!" Enel retorts, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'YOU CAN'T'!! I AM DOING WHAT A GOD SHOULD DO." A helmeted soldier sweats, "...YOU CAN'T...!!!" Nearby faces show shock: "WHAT...!I" "!" "HUH...!I"

Gan Fall smiles with eyes closed, "IT'S THE LAW OF NATURE..." A sweating soldier in a helmet glares, "YOU WANT TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY!I" Enel points forward, "THAT'S BEFORE I BECAME GOD." "'GOD' IS NOTHING BUT A TITLE FOR THE LEADER OF OUR COUNTRY!!!" he continues as his massive form looms. "DON'T THINK SO HIGHLY OF YOURSELF, ENEL!!" Gan Fall shouts in a huge close-up, "DON'T NEED A 'GOD'!! THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD"

A towering, muscular man with a shaved head and headband stands before a crowd of armored soldiers, four massive drum-like weapons marked with three tomoe floating behind him. He smirks as voices recall the past: "SIX YEARS AGO, THEY LOST TO MY ARMY. YOUR 650 FOLLOWERS... YAHAHAHA... EX-GOD GAN FALL... YOU'VE BEEN WORRYING ABOUT YOUR MILITIA, HAVEN'T YOUI" In the next panels a close-up shows a determined face as the speaker declares, "RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY PEOPLE STILL STANDING ON THIS ISLAND... ARE UNFORTUNATELY JUST THE SIX OF US." The scene shifts to a chaotic street where a staff-wielding warrior lunges, shouting "SUTAH...!!" while another figure explains, "THIS MORNING THEY FINISHED THEIR... 'JOB'... LIKE I SAID EARLIER..." A bearded soldier reacts in shock as the warrior continues, "...THEIR FAMILIES... ON ANGEL ISLAND... BUT AFTER I TOLD THEM MY PLAN... YAHAHAHA... THEY ALL WENT BERSERK ON ME... I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, YOU...!!" The soldiers stare in horror, one muttering "OH! THAT'S RIGHT. THEIR FAMILIES WILL NEED BURIALS..."

The assault erupts in a flurry of motion lines and impact effects. A soldier's face twists in rage as he roars "YOU FIEND!!!" while another laughs wildly "YAHA-HAHA!!" The muscular warrior is hurled backward through the air, arms flailing, a massive black impact shape labeled "PAAH..." erupting from the blow. Close-ups capture the soldiers' furious expressions amid flying debris. At the bottom of the page, two hands are shown gripping weapons; one declares "TWENTY MILLION..." while the other finishes "TEN MILLION..."

Helmeted soldiers debate their next move while holding the battered former god. One asks, "WHAT SHOULD WE DOI ENEL-SAMA. THIS IS THE OLD GOD..." Enel stands tall in the center of a ruined plaza, arms crossed, declaring, "TAKE THE OLD MILITIA AND HAVE THEM WORK FOR ME AS MANUAL LABORERS. JUST DUMP HIM. HE'S NO GOOD FOR LABOR. YAHAHA... THIS SHRINE IS PRETTY NICE..." A small winged figure tumbles through the sky as Enel laughs "HESO! YAHA-HAHA..." and coldly tells the old man, "SHUSH NOW. FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE NO LONGER GOD..." Gan Fall, bound and hanging, cries out desperately, "WAIT... THEY ARE MY FOLLOWERS!!"

Enel unleashes a devastating electrical strike, the panel exploding with impact lines and the onomatopoeia "VARI"!!! as he shouts "THIRTY MILLION VOLTS..." Gan Fall is hurled backward, body convulsing. The next row shows the shocked faces of four Straw Hats: Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Nami, the last crying "STRANGE MAN!!" Below, a Divine Soldier stares in disbelief as narration and voices overlap: "IT'S OVER.....!! THERE IS A GOD... IN THIS WORLD..." Gan Fall, still airborne and smoking, calls out one final time, "GAN FALL," while Enel looms triumphant.
A close-up reveals a bandaged face with wide, intense eyes as the figure declares, "ME!" Below, Nico Robin stares in shock while voices discuss the power: "INVINCIBLE POWERS... IT'S ONE OF THE... MOST LIKELY THE GORO GORO FRUIT...!!! DEVIL FRUIT..." The scene shifts to a muscular man with a long staff and three spherical orbs on his back, his back turned as he proclaims, "THE POWER OF LIGHTNING!" Robin gasps, "LIGHTNING...!I IMPOSSIBLE... HOW CAN WE WIN AGAINST THAT...!I"

Enel stands triumphant atop ruins, declaring, "IT IS NOW THE PREDICTED TIME... PERFECT, THERE ARE EXACTLY FIVE SURVIVORS." He raises his staff as the group watches in silence.

DON'T WORRY, JUDGING FROM YOUR EARLIER ADVENTURES, I CAN THINK OF ONLY ONE PLACE WHERE THE BELL COULD BE..." Robin realizes, "...YOU MEAN THE GOLDEN BELLI" Enel replies, "TRUE...

A tense standoff erupts in the ruins. One figure snaps, "... HOW SHALLOW!! DID YOU THINK YOU COULD TRICK ME AND FIND IT YOURSELFI YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME...!" while another retorts with visible surprise, "... YOU SEEM SURPRISED!... LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING...!!" A close-up captures a sharp-eyed woman declaring, "I DON'T LIKE SHALLOW WOMEN." The panel explodes into motion as Robin is revealed in shock, "ROBIN!!!" Debris and impact lines fill the frame while a figure dashes away amid flying rubble and a fallen weapon, the scene charged with sudden violence and revelation.
