JUNGLE BLOOD

At the Baratie restaurant, Pearl stands on the deck with his massive shield, reacting in shock. A speech bubble reads “BLOOD...!”. Nearby, Luffy in a straw hat and Sanji in a suit stand watching. Pearl yells in panic while cooks try to calm him. One cook shouts, “IT'S JUST A LITTLE NOSEBLEED! EVERYONE GETS THOSE! YOU HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN HURT AT ALL!” Another voice calls, “PEARL, IT'S FINE!” Inside, a chef asks “WHAT...I” while another says, “SO JUST CALM DOWN, PEARL!”

A close-up shows a sweating chef with a crescent-moon hat exclaiming, “THESE GUYS'RE DANGEROUS!” and “MY... IRON WALL WAS BROKEN THROUGH!” Luffy, pointing at his nose, says, “IT'S JUST A LITTLE NOSEBLEED...” while Sanji looks on, asking, “THE HELL'S UP WITH HIMI” Pearl continues panicking as multiple voices shout “PEARL! STOP IT! THERE'S NO NEED TO GO WILD OVER A DAMN NOSEBLEED!” and “PEARL! CALM DOWN!” Sound effects “ガチッ!!” ring out as Pearl flails his shields. Someone yells, “I'M IN DANGER!”

Pearl’s massive shield spins wildly in a huge impact, with bold sound effects and the word “DANGER!” A shocked reaction bubble shows “!!I” On the lower half of the page, the Baratie is shown from outside as a massive explosion erupts from the deck. A large “FIRE!I” bubble appears while the ship shakes violently with debris flying. Sound effects “ゴォオオオオ!!” accompany the blast as figures on the dock react to the sudden chaos.

In a flashback, Pearl screams in terror as jungle beasts surround him. Narration explains: "BACK IN THE JUNGLE FULL OF WILD BEASTS, EVERYTIME PEARL FELT THAT HE WAS IN DANGER, HE HAS A HABIT OF LIGHTING A FIRE!" and "CRAP! HE'S DOING THAT THING HE LEARNED TO DO WHILE GROWING UP IN THE JUNGLE!" Pearl ignites his armor, flames erupting around him with the sound "ゴオオオ". On the Baratie deck, cooks react in shock: "IT'S HIS DEFENCE TACTIC AGAINST BEASTS!I" and "WHAT!I" Pearl's massive flaming form looms as he yells "DON'T YOU DARE GET CLOSE TO ME!" while his shield plates spin with "CRACKLE" and the label "FIRE PEARL'S..." appears amid roaring flames.

A massive fiery explosion erupts with the sound effect "ドカアアアア" and the label "DAITOKUTEN! [special treat]". Pearl's flaming body spins wildly in the center. Sanji is hurled backward through the air, arms flailing, shouting "HOT!" as impact lines and smoke fill the panel. Luffy stands in the background watching the blast. The intense heat and force send debris flying across the deck.

Pearl roars "PLEASE STOP, PEARL!" while his flaming armor spins, the sound "ボオオゥッ!!" echoing. He declares "WITH MY FLAME SHIELD, MY IRON WALL IS NOW EVEN MORE INVINCIBLE!" as nearby pirates panic: "HOT! HOT! HOT!" and "OUR SHIP'S GONNA CATCH ON FIRE! CRAP!". Sanji sits calmly with a cigarette, thinking "HMPH." while a panicked cook yells "AHHHH HOT HOT HOT!" and questions if Pearl intends to burn the Baratie down. Another pirate shouts "THAT DAMN IDIOT...!" as flames spread across the ship.

The Baratie burns fiercely with the sound "ゴオオオオ". Crew members shout "WE'VE GOT NO PLACE TO RUN TO!" and "SHIT! FIRE IN THE FRONT AND THE OCEAN TO THE BACK!". Pearl continues his rampage, yelling "HOT!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" while cooks urge "JUMP INTO THE SEA!". Sanji charges forward as Patty yells "SANJI, YOU DUMBASS! YOU'LL GET BURNT TO A CRISP! PATTY, STAY BACK!" and "THAT BASTARD...!". Pearl swings wildly, flames roaring "ゴオオオオ" as he screams "CAN'T GET NEAR ME, CAN YOU!I".

Sanji launches a powerful flying kick at the armored figure, shouting "DON'T YOU DARE BURN THIS RESTAURANT DOWN!" The impact sends the opponent reeling backward with a shocked "!!I". In the next moment the armored man is hurled through the air as Sanji's follow-up strike connects, producing a massive "UGH!" and a thunderous "ドオン" explosion of smoke and debris. The attacker tumbles helplessly while the restaurant's wooden structure shakes from the force.

Pearl stands amid swirling smoke and flames, exclaiming "H-HOW COULD YOU ATTACK ME, THE FIRE PEARL THAT WILD BEASTS WON'T EVEN APPROACH...!I" and "DOES HE WANT TO BE BURNED ALIVE!I TALK ABOUT RECKLESS!" Sanji lands lightly on the deck with a small "カッ...!" sound. Close-up, Sanji smirks while holding his cigarette, thinking "IF HE WAS AFRAID OF FIREI" and retorting "IDIOT. HOW COULD A CHEF EVER COOK," as Pearl roars "WHY YOU DANDY SON OF A...! D-DAMN YOU!"

Pearl charges forward with a "DASH!" and declares "FIRE PEARL PRESENT!" His massive iron shields slam together around him, creating an impenetrable wall while flames erupt from the gaps. The impact produces heavy "グッ" and "ドン" effects as Pearl's armored form barrels straight toward Sanji.

Onlookers gasp as Sanji slips past Pearl's iron wall, prompting cries of "HE SLIPPED PAST PEARL'S IRON WALL!" and "AHHH! HE GOT HIM!" Pearl is sent flying backward with a pained "グッ..." Sanji lands in a low stance amid smoke and debris, his cigarette still lit. With a confident grin he declares "HE'S SERIOUS TROUBLE!" while an unseen voice asks "WHO IS THIS COOK!I"

Pearl's armored body erupts in a massive fiery explosion as he screams in agony. "MY... MY FACE...!" he wails while clutching his burning face. Onlookers panic, shouting "MORE FIRE! MORE FIRE PEARLS!" and "DANGER! HE'S TOO DANGEROUS!" Flames and smoke engulf the area. Below, the fire spreads wildly across the wooden deck. "THIS PLACE IS GONERS IF THE FIRE SPREADS TO THE KITCHEN!" someone yells as another voice cries "AGHHH! HE'S PLANNING TO BURN DOWN THE RESTAURANT!" Zeff glares with intense focus. A crew member urges "SIR! RUN AWAY!" as Pearl continues to burn uncontrollably.

Pearl is hurled violently through the air amid massive impact lines and debris. "!!!" and "WHAT!I" ring out as he crashes. "POP POP" and "CLINK" sound effects mark the chaotic motion. The Baratie restaurant exterior shakes with large SFX "ゴオオオオ" as the structure trembles. Zeff stands firm despite the chaos. "W-WHAT!I" he reacts. In close-up, the determined chef declares, "I MAY HAVE LOST ONE LEG, BUT THIS MUCH IS NOTHING I CAN'T HANDLE."

Luffy grins widely and shouts "OLD MAN, THAT WAS AMAZING!" Onlookers react in awe: "HOLY CRAP! MAYBE RED-LEG ZEFF'S STILL GOT IT...!I" "HE PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH THE WIND BLAST CREATED FROM HIS KICK!" and "THAT'S INCREDIBLE, SIR!" Zeff stands with arms crossed, declaring "BEFORE THAT FIRE SPREADS TO THE REST OF THE RESTAURANT, THAT IDIOT PEARL'S MORE TROUBLE THAN HE'S WORTH!" In a dramatic low-angle shot, Sanji leaps forward and kicks Pearl hard, yelling "I'LL SINK THOSE 'FINS'!"

Sanji recoils from the intense heat, shouting "HOT!" and "AH...!" while Pearl's flaming form looms. A voice warns "IT'S NO GOOD! HE'S SURROUNDED BY FLAMES!" and "SANJI! WATCH OUT!" Luffy stretches his arms, preparing "GOMU GOMU..." as someone yells "ERRAND BOY!" In the explosive finale, Sanji and Luffy team up for a powerful strike. "BAZOOKA!" Luffy shouts as Pearl is sent flying amid massive impact effects and "!!!" reactions.

A wide-eyed man with a headband stares in shock, sweat flying as an exclamation mark pops beside him. In the next panel Luffy is launched backward through the air, straw hat tilted, while a powerful impact erupts behind him. Below, Sanji and Luffy stand together as a steaming dish flies back at them; Sanji yells "HE HIT IT BACK!" while both characters shout "HOT HOT HOT!" and "HOOOOTTTT!!!" with onomatopoeia "バン バン" marking the rebound. The scene cuts to the restaurant exterior where a massive spiked iron ball smashes through the wooden wall of the Baratie, chains rattling and debris exploding outward with huge SFX "ズドォン" and "メリメリ" as the structure buckles.

A tremendous impact rocks the deck as a giant mechanical fist or weapon smashes forward with massive SFX "バキッ" and "バキ". Sanji is hurled through the air, cigarette in mouth, crying "AGHH!". Onlookers including a wide-mouthed crewman scream "PEARL!". The armored warrior Pearl sweats heavily inside his spiked suit, muttering "U... UGH...". Gin, the headband-wearing pirate, clenches a fist and growls "IN THE END, USELESS THE ONLY ONE I CAN COUNT ON IS ME!" while nearby voices remark "MAYBE HE'S MENTALLY ILL..." and "WHAT'S UP WITH THIS DUDE." Pearl's spinning shield whirs with SFX "ンガクー...!!" as the fight rages on the restaurant deck.

Sanji's close-up shows a stern, sweating face as he pleads "PLEASE STOP FIGHTING, SANJI." Luffy reacts with wide eyes and an open mouth "AHHH!" while Sanji stands nearby. In a dramatic panel Gin looms over Sanji, pressing a large gun barrel against him and declaring "I DON'T WANT TO END UP KILLING YOU." Sanji grits his teeth in fury, cigarette clenched, shouting "GIN, YOU...!" as Luffy also yells "GIN!" with intense motion lines emphasizing the tense standoff.
