A Great Sumo Match in the Wano Country

A massive sumo wrestler with wild hair and topknot beads sweats heavily as his topknot is sliced off. RUSTLE... The yokozuna's pride fades away as his black bow falls to the ground. Shocked onlookers cry out in the crowd: HIS TOP KNOT WAS CUT OFF, TOO!! NOT ONLY DID URA-SHIMA GET DUMPED... A woman in a kimono stands on a bridge overlooking a town, drawing her sword as onlookers react with surprise. The page declares CHAPTER 916: A GREAT SUMO MATCH IN THE WANO COUNTRY.

A giant sumo wrestler is hurled through the air above a chaotic Wano town square filled with stunned spectators. SO, YOU BETRAYED MEEEEEEE!I someone screams. O-KIKUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! another voice roars. The wrestler crashes down as debris flies. HE LOOKS LIKE A DEMON!! the crowd gasps. WOAH!! A close-up shows the yokozuna's furious, demonic face. In the foreground, a young woman with a bun clutches her face in horror, tears streaming: WHY DID I... DO THAT IN FRONT OF SO MANY PEOPLE...!!!I KYAAAAH!!

The woman with pigtails clutches her face in shock, thinking, "...BUT HE'S NOT THE TYPE OF MAN TO USE IT ON A WOMAN...!!" as the sumo wrestler assumes a wide stance. A voice explains, "OH, NO... THAT STANCE IS...!!" and another warns, "HE'S PREPARING HIS EQUINOX HARITE!!! WHEN HE USES IT, HIS OPPONENTS GO FLYING!!" The massive wrestler lunges forward with an open-palm strike, shouting, "PLEASE FORGIVE ME, LORD URASHIMA." Luffy, eyes wide, begins stretching his arm and yells, "GOMU GOMU NO..." The wrestler roars, "INFERIOR WOMAAAAN!! DIE!!! YOU LOW-CLASS..." while the woman screams, "KYAAA AAAH!!!" A translator note reads: "HARITE IS AN OPEN PALM STRIKE AIMED AT THE FACE. CLOSED FISTS ARE BANNED IN SUMO."

The sumo wrestler unleashes a rapid series of open-palm strikes labeled "TSUPPARI*!!" A note explains: "A FORM OF HARITE, A SERIES OF OPEN PALM STRIKES TOWARDS THE FACE, NECK, OR UPPER BODY. CAN BE FATAL." Luffy and the woman are sent flying backward. The woman cries out in terror while Luffy shouts, "NGGAAAAA AAAH!!!" The wrestler is hurled through the air by a massive counter, yelling "UWOOOOOAAH!!!I" as he crashes into the ring with debris flying. The woman lands safely nearby, and the impact creates a huge dust cloud with the sound "SKID SKID...!!!"

Spectators react in shock as the dust settles. One yells, "DON'T FALTER, YOKO-ZUNA!!" while another shouts, "WHO IS THAT GUY!I THE YOKOZUNA WAS...!!" The woman with pigtails cheers desperately, "YOU CAN DO IT!!" and "LUFFYTARO!!!" Luffy grins wildly in midair. The yokozuna tumbles across the ring with the sound effect "ごごごご" as the crowd gasps, "WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WOAAAAH!!! TOO CLOSE!!!" In a wide shot of the Wano town, both fighters tumble safely to the ground amid cheers. A voice exclaims, "THEY'RE BOTH SAFE!" with Luffy letting out a relieved "PHEW...!"

The woman with pigtails pleads, "MY HONOUR WILL BE TAINTED!!" The sumo wrestler glares and growls, "IF I DON'T RIP O-KIKU LIMB FROM LIMB... GET OUT OF MY WAY...!!" and demands, "WHAT IS YOUR RELATION TO O-KIKU!I AND WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO BLOCK MY HARITE!I" Luffy stands tall, declaring, "I'M GREAT AT IT, AFTER ALL...!! LET'S SUMO WRESTLE!!" A sign appears: "PIRATE AND SUMO WRESTLER ASPIRANT LUFFY-NO-UMI FIGHTING RECORD: A COMPLETE VICTORY OVER USOPP." The wrestler agrees reluctantly, "ALL RIGHT! I'LL LET YOU DO THAT, BUT ONLY IF YOU CAN BEAT ME!" while muttering, "WHATI" Luffy is then shown being grabbed and pulled away as voices shout, "OUT OF MY WAY!" and "WHAT'S THAT GUY THINKING!I HE'LL BE KILLED!!" with the sound "PFFFFFTTT!!!"

In the chaotic sumo ring, the massive wrestler unleashes a flurry of palm strikes while shouting "BUDDHIST HARITE!!!" as Luffy dodges between the hands with repeated "HUP HUP" leaps. Spectators roar as the wrestler taunts, "YOU WON'T WIN IF YOU KEEP RUNNING AWAY...!!!" and another voice laughs, "WAHAHA!! GOOD LUCK, YA LIL' SHRIMP!!" A commentator notes, "HE'S PRETTY AGILE!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ABLE TO DODGE URASHIMA'S HARITE!!" while the crowd yells "HEY!!" The wrestler then charges with forbidden techniques, declaring "EYE CRUSHER!!!" and "EAR SPLITTER!!!!!" as Luffy protests, "HEY!! AREN'T THOSE AGAINST THE RULES!I" amid heavy impact effects and motion lines.

A massive serpent-like creature crashes into a building with "UUUNNNGGG GGGHHH..." as someone calls out "MASTER HOLDEM!" Luffy stretches his arms with "STRETCH!" and retorts "WHATEVER!" and "OH, WELL..." while leaping forward with a large "BWOOM!!" sound. The wrestler reacts in shock, "A WOMAN CUT OFF THE YOKOZUNA'S TOP KNOTI IT'S CAUSED A HUGE UPROAR!!" and angrily demands, "...ANDI WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT...!I" as the scene shifts to his furious close-up face with sweat drops and "!I" reaction.

A masked woman pleads desperately, "PLEASE FORGIVE ME!! I'LL GIVE YA BACK YOUR BABOON!! PLEASE STOP...!!!" while being pinched and spun with cries of "KYAAAA AHHHH!! IT HURTS!! IT HUUURTS!!" and "PINCH THIS KID'S CHEEK OFF!! I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW. I'M TRYING TO..." A stern figure declares, "THEY WERE NOTHING BUT A FAMILY OF EVIL!!" and references, "20 YEARS AGO... THE KOUZUKI FAMILY WAS PLANNING TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY." Luffy, bruised and held, is warned, "YOU... MENTIONED THE KOUZUKI FAMILY EARLIER, DIDN'T YOUI YOU SHOULDN'T CLING TO THE DEAD." Elsewhere, a long-haired man states, "YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR HIM!! HE'LL HAVE A STRAW HAT AROUND HIS NECK!! DON'T LAY A HAND ON HIM!" as a woman replies, "I'M HEADING THAT WAY NOW." and a fish-man gasps, "I THINK I'M GONNA DIE, CAPTAIN..."

Luffy's enormous hand slams down with a massive "BACHI" impact and "TSUPPARI!!!!!" as the sumo wrestler is crushed beneath it. The wrestler yells, "NU AGGHH HHHHH!!I" while Luffy shouts, "MAN, YOU'RE SO LOUD! I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!! BUT... YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BEAT ME!" A young girl reacts with "!I" and "WHAT'D YOU SAY!II" as Luffy declares, "I AM THIS COUNTRY'S NUMBER ONE... THE MAN WHO WILL BE THE PIRATE KING. I AM..." with "STRAIN STRAIN STRAIN" effects on his arm. The wrestler rages, "MOVE, YOU SHRIMP!! O-KIKU'S ACTIONS ARE UNFORGIVABLE!! SHE REJECTED THE HONOUR OF MARRYING AND OBEYING A SAMURAI. SHE COMPLETELY INSULTED ME!! I'M GOING TO CRACK HER SKULL OPEN TO SET AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS!!" while background figures react with "WHAT IS THAT... THINGI" and "I WONDER... WHAT COULD THIS BEI"

A young woman covers her mouth in shock. Nearby, two beastly men react with panic, eyes wide and bodies tense. A massive explosion erupts across the town, shattering wooden buildings and sending pagoda roofs and debris flying through the air amid thick smoke and impact lines. Down below, panicked citizens shout as the destruction unfolds. A man yells, "UWAAH!!!" Another gasps, "HUH!I" Voices cry out, "YOU'VE GOTTA BE JOKING....!! HE SHOULDN'T HAVE LOST TO SUCH A LITTLE SHRIMP!!" "URASHIMA WAS BLOWN AWAY!!" "YOKO-ZUNAA AAA!!!" and "UWOO OOOOO OHHHH!!"

A scarred man with white hair glares, thinking, "DON'T TELL ME HE'S ALSO PART OF THAT GROUP!I" and "WITH THAT STRONG FEMALE SWORDSMAN AND THE SUMO WRESTLING LITTLE SHRIMP...!!" Nearby voices react: "GYAAA AAAH!!!" "SO WHAT." "AH... HE'S ZOROJURO!!!" "HE'S...!!! HE'S THAT MAGISTRATE MURDERER!!" In the center, a black-haired swordsman in a dark robe shouts, "HEY!! CALL THE BOSS OF THIS TOWN OVER HERE!!!" while a ponytail woman in a patterned kimono stands ready with her blade. A voice declares, "WE CAME HERE TO TAKE TAMA BACK!!" The crowd panics below: "THEY'RE REBELS....!!!" "UWAAAAH!! THEY'RE DANGEROUS!!"

The ponytail woman sweats nervously, hand near her face. The scarred man snaps, "STOP SPACING OUT. I'M NOT GOING TO WATCH YOUR BACK!!" while another woman asks, "WHAT SHOULD I DOI" A rabbit-masked figure and others react as a voice orders, "I DARE YOU TO TRY AND TAKE HER BACK!!" "TAMA IS THAT KID THAT MASTER HOLDEM CAUGHT!!" "GO GET 'EM.....!!!" The black-haired swordsman lunges forward, blade flashing, yelling, "SLICE THROUGH THEM IF YOU WANT TO SAVE TAMA!!" and "SH-SHOULD I CUT THEM...I" A massive figure bellows, "CALL HIM OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!!" In the chaos, the ponytail woman leaps into action, shouting, "I DO WANT TO SAVE HER!!" "WAIT FOR ME, TAMA!!" as an enemy cries, "DUAGH!!!"

The scarred man is hurled through the air amid flying blades and impact effects, screaming, "GYAAA AAAHHH!!!" A lion-like beast pirate roars, "IF YOU DON'T CALL YOUR BOSS OVER HERE, NONE OF YOU ARE GETTING OUT OF THIS ALIVE." and "BUGH...!!" The black-haired swordsman demands, "IF YOU'VE DONE ANYTHING TO TAMA, I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU...!!" and "COME OUT HERE, HOLPIG!!!" while asking, "WHAT'S YOUR BOSS'S NAMEI" Background figures shout, "THERE'S A FIRE...!!!" "CALL THE FIRE-FIGHTERS....!!" The lion-like figure mutters, "HO... HOLDEM..." In the final panels, the black-haired swordsman stares intensely and declares, "I AM HOLDEM!!" as a distant voice answers, "IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE BOSS... HERE I AM!!"

The massive figure of Holdem towers over the scene, his lion-stomach beast snarling as he roars, "I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE, DID I!I" Luffy glares up at him and shouts, "SO YOU FINALLY SHOWED UP!!" while background figures yell, "MASTER HOLDEM!!!" Holdem's beast stomach growls loudly with "GRROOO OOWWLL!!" as someone cries, "BIG BRO...!!" Holdem bellows, "HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY HOUSE WITH ALL OF YOUR SUMO WRESTLING!!!" Below, the ruined house smolders as a voice demands, "URASHIMA FLEW TOWARDS US... AND NOW MY HOUSE IS IN RUINS!! WHAT HOLE DID YOU PEOPLE CRAWL OUT OF!I" Luffy and allies spot a small girl and shout, "O-TAMA!!!" "TAMA!!!" The page ends with the One Piece logo and chapter note.

Holdem threatens, "I'D SUGGEST NOT MOVING ANOTHER INCH!! I CAN CRUSH HER WITH THESE JAWS AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE!!" while noting, "HIS STOMACH IS A LION... BIG BRO..." He continues, "I GUESS YOU WANT TO RESCUE THIS KID, BUT... YOU LOT WHO ARE POINTING YOUR SWORDS THIS WAY... ARE YOU SUBORDINATES OF THAT THIEF, SHUTEN-MARU!I" Elsewhere, a fire rages as a voice reports, "CAPTAIN... HAWKINS JUST ARRIVED AT THE ENTRANCE. AND THERE'S A FIRE RAGING THROUGH THE TOWN." A distant view shows, "WE'RE ALMOST TO THE ENTRANCE... OF BAKURA TOWN...!" The situation escalates with dramatic sound effects. Luffy declares, "I DON'T PLAN ON RETURNING HER, YOU DUMBASS!! I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU NOW, TAMA!!" A voice pleads, "CAPTAIN, DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND...!!" The page teases the next issue.
