The One Piece title logo dominates the top of the page. Below it, the chapter title reads clearly: CHAPTER 1073: MISS BUCKINGHAM STUSSY. The main illustration shows a chaotic battlefield scene filled with floating flowers and smoke. A tall figure in a dark coat looms over the chaos while a man with a cap clings desperately to a massive mechanical structure labeled 53, firing wildly. Below, several characters including a man in a top hat and another with wild hair react in shock and pain. A small robot-like figure floats nearby. At the bottom, a caption box states: GERMA 66'S COLD-BLOODED VOYAGE VOL. 29: "AWARDED THE IBELL PEACE PRIZE FOR DEVELOPING THE GP FLOWER (A FLOWER THAT BLOOMS IN GUNPOWDER)!" Oda Eiichiro's name appears beneath the panel.

Explosions and massive debris fill the upper panel as a structure collapses amid palm trees and smoke. Large Japanese sound effects dominate the sky. A smaller panel shows a blonde woman with a bob haircut holding a finger to her lips, saying "THIS IS A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW..." Beside her, a close-up of a sweating face reacts in shock. The next panel shows a body slamming into the ground with impact effects "バン!!" and "KAKU!!" A large lower panel depicts a dramatic fight: a woman in a white outfit and cape uses Paper Arts to twist away from an attack while a man in a top hat lunges forward. Speech bubbles read "PAPER ARTS: HEARTBREAK AFTER IMAGE!!" and "SO WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND... YOUR FIRST INSTINCT IS TO GO FOR THE KILL!"

Multiple panels continue the intense close-quarters fight. A man in a top hat says "YOU'RE SO WILD!" while tapping a lipstick-like object as another panel shows "SEA-STONEI!" and a voice reacting "MY, MY..." with sound effect "キッ..." A large central panel shows the man being bitten on the arm with effects "ガブッ" "CHOMP!!" and "KOO KOO!!" while shouting in pain. A close-up reveals sharp fangs and a wide-open mouth with "ハア... HAAA..." The woman speaks: "FIGHTING YOU FAIR AND SQUARE WOULD'VE BEEN STUPID. I KNOW HOW STRONG YOU BOYS ARE..." The man retorts "YOU BITCH..." as impact effects and "DA-DUMP!!" "KAKOO!!" fill the panel. She replies "FORGIVE ME♡" while dodging another strike.

Zoro glares from the railing, muttering, "FRIENDLY FIRE, HUHI" Below, Stussy in a spotted dress and wide hat watches in shock as CP0 agents clash violently. "WHAAA AAATI!" someone cries. "JUST A MOMENT!! WHAT IS THISI! WHY ARE THE CP0 AGENTS AT EACH OTHER'S THROATSI!" In the next panel the blonde Stussy appears with a calm smile. "THIS IS STUSSY," she states. Nearby York yawns, "YAWN!!" while others react: "STUSSY CAME THROUGH!", "THAT'S FANTASTIC NEWS!", "I PUT THEM BOTH TO SLEEP." The scene shifts to a beaten Rob Lucci sprawled on the ground. "YOU HAD A MOLE IN THE INTELLIGENCE BRANCHI!" a voice demands. "HER LOYALTY TO ME WAS KEPT SECRET EVEN AFTER SHE SPENT 20 YEARS AS ONE OF THEIR AGENTS," another explains. "NO DOUBT HE WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE... ROB LUCCI WAS BEATENI!" Lucci's ally shouts, "HUHI! WHAT'S GOING ONI!" while an unseen figure adds, "IT WASN'T OUR INTENTION, BUT THAT'S HOW IT TURNED OUT."

Explosions rock the Vegapunk laboratory as Stussy explains, "SO I CAN'T OVERRIDE HIS ORDERS... AND STOP THE SEPHARIM!" A massive blast erupts with the sound "ズズズズ...ン!!" while she continues, "MY AUTHORITY LEVEL IS THE SAME AS LUCCI'S... DOCTOR, UNFORTUNATELY..." The curly-haired man and Stussy spot the rampaging Seraphim. "RIGHT!! AND IS IT JUST ME... OR DO THOSE KIDS LOOK FAMILIAR," he yells as they charge forward. "WE NEED TO STOP THOSE RUNTS BEFORE THEY FLATTEN THE OTHERS!" Stussy replies, "YOU'VE DONE PLENTY, STUSSY! WE'RE ON OUR WAY!" The spiky-haired fighter grits his teeth, "ESPECIALLY... THAT ONE," as the group rushes into the chaos with impact lines and motion effects filling the panels.

The curly-haired man is sent flying amid debris, shouting, "THOUGH I SUPPOSE WE CAN USE THOSE EXTRA EXITS TO GET OUT FASTER!" A small robot-like figure adds, "PHOOEY! THEY WON'T STOP BLOWING HOLES IN THE LAB!" Explosions continue with "ズ...ン..." and "ズ...ン..." sounds. Zoro glares and calls out, "SERAPHIM, LISTEN--!!!" as a massive blast erupts. "HEY!" someone yells. A girl in a black-and-white outfit leaps free, exclaiming, "AAAAAND I'M OUT!" Close-ups show intense eyes, a hand gripping a weapon with "イチギ... SHK", and a targeting reticle over the girl's face accompanied by "BEEP BEEP" as she focuses.

A massive clash erupts with "CLASH!!" and heavy impact lines as two figures collide mid-air. Zoro stares intensely, thinking, "THERE ACTUALLY IS A SPARK OF HUMANITY IN THERE... BUT STILL..." while the opponent glares back with "ギ...ギ..." effects. "NOW THAT I'VE HAD A CLOSER LOOK..." the swordsman mutters. Below, the curly-haired man is shocked, "THAT WAS A SHOCK!!" as another blast "ギィン" rings out. A small robot shouts, "LEAVE IT TO ME!" while the long-coated figure is hurled backward. The spiky-haired fighter yells, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOUI!" amid flying debris and motion lines.

A Seraphim in a horned helmet clashes violently with unseen foes as a voice yells, "QUIT IT!!" The Seraphim retorts with a booming "SERA-PHIM!!" In the massive central explosion over the Vegapunk facility, debris and smoke erupt as someone shouts, "STOP FIGHTING IMMEDIATELY!!" A figure cries out desperately, "EDISON!!" The blast labeled "KA-BOOM!!" rocks the island. Below, a blonde girl in a polka-dot dress screams "EDISON!!" while clutching a small object. A masked figure points and declares, "YOU LOOKING FOR THISI THAT WAS CLOOOSE!!" A swordsman with a topknot reacts with "HMI" as a small figure is struck with "TAP!" A spiky-haired youth stares in horror, "NO... HE CAN'T BE...!!!"

Stussy speaks calmly to the group: "MUCH OBLIGED, STUSSY. WE'RE LEAVING THE ISLAND, YOU SHOULD COME WITH US!" Shaka replies, "SHAKA! I'VE BOUND LUCCI AND KAKU WITH SEASTONE." Someone asks, "CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THESE THINGS AREI!" as the massive Seraphim looms. Another states, "THE SEPHARIM FINALLY LISTENED!" Stussy answers, "UNDER-STOOD." Luffy panics in the foreground, clutching his head: "WE CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT YOU!! OLD MAN PUNK! HEY, BONNEY! WHERE'D YA GOI!" A wide shot shows Dr. Vegapunk's main Stella body has vanished from the floating lab, with narration: "UNFORTUNATELY, A TRULY UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT HAPPENED..." and "OLD MAAAAAN!!"

The scene shifts to Whitebeard's hometown in Sphinx, New World. A voice calls out, "MARCO!!" In a village square, Marco sits with children and apologizes: "I'M REAL SORRY, KIDS-YOI...! I DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE YA IN SUCH A BAD SPOT... THERE WERE MARINES ALL OVER THE PLACE!!" Two children reply, "NOT FOR ME, I WASN'T SCARED!" and "IT WAS SOOO SCARY." Marco reassures them, "IF YOU PLAY NICE, YOU WON'T GET HURT, OKAYI!" The kids explain, "THEY SAID THEY WERE HERE FOR WHITEBEARD'S TREASURE! THEY WERE JUST LIKE PIRATES! THOSE MARINE MEANIES WERE THE WORST! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, MARCO!!" Marco looks grim and silent.

Marines confront the villagers: "IF YOU DON'T TELL US, WE'LL CONSIDER IT AN ACT OF DEFIANCE!! WHITEBEARD MUST KEEP ALL HIS TREASURE HERE! YOU HAVE NO LEGAL RIGHTS HERE! REMEMBER, THIS PLACE ISN'T GOVERNMENT AFFILIATED..." A Marine captain snarls, "ARE YOU SURE IT'S WISE... YOU REALLY WON'T TREAT US AS FELLOW HUMANS JUST BECAUSE WE CAN'T PAY THE GOVERNMENTI!" Children cower as one Marine threatens, "T-THERE'S NO TREASURE HERE! STOP POINTING THAT GUN AT MY LITTLE BROTHER!!" and "IF YOU THINK THAT'LL MAKE YOU MORE TALKATIVEI I COULD SHOOT YOU ALL ONE BY ONE..." An old lady is shielded by villagers shouting, "PLEASE STOP THIS! SHE'S JUST AN OLD LADY! GRANNY!!!" and "STEADY... HOLD HER STILL!" The old woman cries, "GRANNY!!!" as chaos erupts with gunfire and screams.

Explosions and impacts rock the battlefield as a massive figure is hurled through the air. Weevil roars in fury, "UAAAAH!! HANDS OFF!!" while a smaller fighter is sent flying with a pained "BLEGH!!" Below, panicked voices cry out, "I-I-IT'S EDWARD....!!" and "WEE--!!" as Captain Ratel shouts orders amid the chaos. In the lower panels, a desperate defender yells, "STAY AWAY FROM PAPPY'S HOME!!" while Weevil continues his rampage, sending debris and fighters scattering with heavy impact effects and motion lines.

The fight rages on as Weevil rampages across Sphinx. A voice shouts, "WARSHIPS WERE MEANT TO HUNT DOWN THE WARLORDS NOW THEY'RE DISBANDED" while another screams "WEEVIL!!" Villagers react in terror. Speech bubbles detail the crisis: "THIS IS SPHINX!", "AN EX-WARLORD JUST SHOWED UP! IT'S WEEVIL!", "GET BACK TO THE SHIP TO WAIT FOR BACKUP!", "WE'VE LOST ALL CONTACT WITH THE OTHER SQUAD!", and "REQUESTING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE!" One fighter exclaims, "WHAT STRENGTH, HE'S A BONAFIDE MONSTER!" and "...HE GOT THEM ALL!!" In the village, locals discuss the situation: "WHO DO YOU THINK THEY SENT IN AFTER THAT CALL FOR BACKUPI!", "THAT WASN'T THE END OF IT, MARCO!", "WHAT A HERO... I'M GLAD YOU'RE ALL SAFE-YOI.", "THE VILLAGE WOULD BE TOAST!", and "IF THAT BIG GUY HADN'T SHOWN UP..."

Miss Buckin appears in full fury, cane raised, shouting, "AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, FORK OVER YOUR INHERITAGE TOO! THEY'VE TAKEN MY SWEET WEEVIL AWAY! GET ME MY BELOVED SON BACK!!" and "NONE OTHER THAN ADMIRAL RYOKUGYU!!! AND HE WASN'T PULLING ANY PUNCHES!" A box labels her: "MADS' RESIDENT FREELOADER MISS BUCKIN <BUCKINGHAM STUSSY>" and "FORMER MEMBER OF THE ROCKS PIRATES SELF-PROCLAIMED SCIENTIST". She continues, "MARCO!! I CAN HEAR IT IN YOUR TONE... YOU STILL DOUBT HE'S WHITEBEARD'S!!" and reacts with shock "!I" as distant cries of "WEEE-VILL!!!" and "MAMAAA AAAAA!!" echo. She adds, "WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS PROTECTING THIS PLACE AT LEAST-YOI...", "ISN'T THIS TRAGIC! DON'T YOU THINK OUR BOY HAS A NOBLE SOULI", and "SENT TO PRISON FOR PROTECTING HIS FATHER'S VILLAGE!" A small box notes "DR. VEGA-PUNK!" and "WELL I KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN PROVE IT!" The page ends with the chapter footer: "CH. 1073 BREAK END NEXT WEEK".

On a Marine vessel flying "MARINE" and "WORLD GOV'T" flags, sailors report to Kizaru: "I'M SURE YOU REMEMBERED TO TEST FOR POISON, RIGHTI", "OF COURSE, SIR!", "WE'VE PREPARED SNACKS AND TEA FOR OUR GUEST...", "I'LL TAKE IT TO HIM. BACK TO YOUR POST.", and "YES, SIR!" The scene shifts to an elegant room where a tall figure in a black coat stands before a seated man. The seated man muses, "HM......MET DR. VEGAPUNK BEFOREI SO, HAVE YOU EVER..." A close-up reveals the elderly man with a distinctive beard, hands clasped, thinking, "I THINK WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW... IS TRULY SUCH A SHAME." and "ONCE... A LONG TIME AGO..." A caption box identifies him: "THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY IN THE WORLD ONE OF THE FIVE ELDERS SAINT JAY GARCIA SATURN" while a voice exclaims, "ONE OF THE BIG WIGS FINALLY MAKES A MOVE!!!"

CHAPTER NOTES page. Text reads: 'In addition to referencing the planet/god, Saturn's name might refer to two unrelated musicians: Jerry (J.) Garcia- his name is very similar and he bears a visual resemblance to the character. There's also Russel Garcia who wrote a song called "the lost souls of Saturn." Ratel is named after the honey badger.' Four images are shown: Jerry Garcia performing with an electric guitar, a purple-ringed planet Saturn in space, a 'Fantastica' stereo album cover with Earth and abstract lines, and a honey badger standing on sandy ground.
