The lobby of laboratory Building A

A massive, furry creature with swirling eyes and a cannon mounted on its back crashes through the facility, smashing structures and kicking up clouds of debris. Caribou clings to the creature while smaller figures tumble through the air. Below, a panicked crowd of men in striped uniforms and headbands react in terror. One voice shouts, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!!" as the creature barrels forward.

Inside the ruined corridor, Caribou and the creature continue their rampage. A voice exclaims, "IT'S GREAT THAT WE'VE MADE IT INSIDE..." while another cries "HAA HAA" and "THIS IS BAD!!". Poison gas begins seeping from damaged containers marked with hazard stripes; someone yells, "...BUT NOW THE POISON GAS IS COMING IN WITH US!!!". A stern man with a striped cloak glares and shouts, "IS THIS SOME KIND OF BAD JOKEI! ARE YOU TRYING TO TAKE US ALL TO THE GRAVE WITH YOUI!" and "EVERYONE PLUG UP THAT HOLE!!!". Nearby figures clutch their throats as gas spreads, with sound effects "ゴゴゴ..." and "ゴゴ..." filling the air.

A massive impact rocks the area with the huge sound effect "ズヴァーン". The furry creature is hurled backward amid flying debris and smoke while panicked men scatter. Smaller panels show the creature still moving, marked by "HAA HAA" and "HAA HAH", as more structures collapse. The final wide panel depicts distant buildings and walkways being destroyed by falling rubble and shockwaves, accompanied by the sounds "ゴゴゴ" and "ゴゴゴゴ...".

A cable car hangs from a wire above a vast, snow-covered icy wasteland dotted with jagged rock formations and swirling clouds. In the distance stands a large, multi-level laboratory building connected by bridges and platforms. Suddenly a massive impact shakes the area as a huge sound effect erupts across the panel: ドーン!!

Small round creatures stare out from the snow. One panel shows a creature labeled STARE. Nearby, two creatures react with CRACK and WHACK as one rolls away. A wide view reveals sharp ice peaks under beams of light with sound effects ゴゴゴゴ. Below, a small flame-bodied creature speaks while another skull-like being floats: "I CAN'T SEE HOW ANYONE WOULD SURVIVE EVEN A SINGLE STEP OUTSIDE INTO THIS..." "IT'S STILL THICK AND HEAVY ALL AROUND..." A third panel shows a structure with the words WISHHH and FLOAT as something drifts downward.

Brook exclaims, "YOU'RE THE BONE-CHILLING ONE!!!" while a small skull creature floats nearby. Zoro remarks, "IT CHILLS ME TO THE BONE." Brook continues, "IT IS LIKE A LAND OF DEATH OUT THERE. JUST TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF WE HAD NOT MANAGED TO CLOSE THE HOLE..." and asks, "HOW'S IT LOOK, BROOKI" A voice replies, "AND WE'RE THE ONES WHO BLOCKED THE HOLE UP, TOO!" Sanji snaps, "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT TO SAY AFTER YOU NEARLY JUST KILLED US ALLI!" Franky questions, "WHADDAYA MEAN, 'RIGHT'I!" Zoro answers simply, "RIGHT." A Marine nods with "NOD". The G-5 Marines react in shock with large sound effects ゴゴゴゴキキン!! as one shouts, "THIS PIRATE CREW IS EVEN CRAZIER THAN THE RUMOURS SAY...!!!"

A large Marine-like figure with a beard roars, "STRAW HAT PIRATES!! GIVE IT UP AND SURRENDER!!!! AND YOU TOO, PIRATE BROWNBEARD!!!!" Brownbeard stands with the Straw Hats including Sanji, Brook, and others. Sanji retorts, "AS IF WE'D RUN AWAY!!" Marines glare with "GLARE". One Marine yells, "WHATI! HOW COME WE'RE SUDDENLY THE ONES BEING CORNEREDI!" Another adds, "THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN...!!" Brownbeard realizes, "TH... THEY KNEW MY NAME...!" Brook laughs, "YOHOHO!" Nami smirks, "HEHEH... YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA REGRET THIS...!!" while a creature growls "GRRRRRR".

Luffy leans forward with a huge grin, eyes sparkling as he exclaims, "THEY'RE STARTING ALREADYI!!" and "OH!!" Below, Law stands with his back partly turned, speaking firmly to two figures: "ALL RIGHT......ARE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF ME AND HIS CREW. NOW, LISTEN. THE TWO OF YOU..." Sanji, in a woman's body, clutches his head in panic, shouting "AH!! TRA-DUDE!! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!" while Nami's body reacts nearby. In the next panels, Sanji's body (now with Nami's mind) screams "DAMN IT! THE DREAM IS OVER...!" and "AHH!!" as Nami's body (with Sanji's mind) cries "I'M BACK!!" and "...WAIT, HUHI" A hand makes a gesture while large text declares "CHANGE US BACK" and "NO NO!" Someone yells, "NO NEED TO DO THAT!! YOU REALLY DON'T NEED TO DO THAT!!"

Sanji, still in Nami's body, clutches his face in shock as massive impact lines explode around him. He yells, "WAIT, I CAN EXPL-EURGBLM PHAGHH!!!" and "WHY AM I WEARING A DIFFERENT COATI!! YOU TOOK MY CLOTHES OFF, DIDN'T YOUI!!" In the lower panels, Nami's body (Sanji's mind) praises, "YOU'RE A REAL HERO, SANJI!!!" while Sanji's body (Nami's mind) cries out, "AHHH...!!! THANK GOODNESS IT WAS MY BODY THAT GOT BEATEN UP...!!!" Other voices react: "HUHI!!" and "OH YEAH, NAMI GOT BEATEN UP PRETTY BAD BY CAESAR IN THAT BODY..." A figure notes, "H...HUHI THIS DAMAGE ISN'T FROM THAT PUNCH JUST NOW... MY BODY'S..." Law appears in a helmet, shouting, "THIS FACILITY IS NOW SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES BY POISONOUS GAS... BUT THERE IS ONE WAY... LAW!! I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL EVERYONE HERE!"

A massive diagram of the facility shows pipes labeled "PH-84" and "H-217" as a voice explains the escape route: "YOU CAN FIND THIS ROUTE BEHIND A GIANT DOOR LABELLED 'BUILDING R 66'!!!...TO ESCAPE DIRECTLY TO THE OCEAN WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THE OUTSIDE AIR!!!" Marines and fighters react with "!I" Law, stern-faced, declares, "IF ANYONE IS STILL INSIDE THIS FACILITY AFTER TWO HOURS... I HAVE NO LOVE FOR MASS SLAUGHTER, BUT TWO HOURS IS ALL I CAN GIVE YOU!!" In smaller panels, Luffy peers curiously while Law continues, "HMM... WITH WHAT I'M PLANNING, IT'S HARD TO SAY WHAT WILL HAPPEN. IS SOMETHING GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE FACILITYI" A final warning booms, "EHHI!!...I MAKE NO GUARANTEES YOU ALL WILL SURVIVE!!!"

Luffy points forward with fierce determination, shouting, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF WAITING AROUND!! I'M GONNA BEAT YOU UP AND KIDNAP YOU!!! CAESAR, I'M COMING FOR YOU NOW!!!" Nearby, Kin'emon yells, "YOU JUST HOLD ON, MOMONOSUKE!!! I WILL SAVE YOU WITHOUT FAIL!!!" while others plan: "LET'S SPLIT UP AND LOOK FOR THE CHILDREN! ONCE WE FIND THEM......WE POINT THEM TOWARDS THE ESCAPE ROUTE!! ZORO, YOU MUSTN'T GO ALONE. AND WHY NOT...I!" Zoro replies, "YEAHH HHHH!!!" A woman states, "WE'RE GOING TO STEAL A TANKER FROM THE PORT, AND ESCAPE FROM PUNK HAZARD!!!" Vergo barks orders, "MARINES OF G-5!! YOUR ORDERS ARE TO HEAD FOR THE R-66 DOOR, COLLECTING THE ABDUCTED KIDS ALONG THE WAY!!" Large impact effects and motion lines fill the chaotic spread.

Tashigi stares in shock as a voice calls out, "YOU'RE NOT... GOING AFTER VERGO...I!" Smoker turns sharply, cigar clenched, shouting "HUHI! WHERE ARE YOU GOING, SMOKER-SANI!" Tashigi, you take command of the others and go ahead!!" Nearby marines yell "THE STRAW HAT PIRATES ARE MAKING A RUN FOR IT!! DON'T LET THESE GUYS PAST!! YEAHHHH!!" as clashes and booms erupt. Vergo's scarred face fills a panel, growling "I'LL DEAL WITH THAT MAN MYSELF...!! I'LL TEACH HIM A LITTLE RESPECT FOR THE MARINES...!!!! TASHIGI... THE LAW IS ALL WELL AND GOOD. BUT IT CAN'T SETTLE DEBTS UNPAID." Tashigi sweats, murmuring "SMOKER-SAN..." while a cloaked figure with "正義" on the back declares "YOU NEED TO GET THOSE IDIOTS OUT OF HERE!!! AND THE CHILDREN, TOO. WHO ELSE IS GOING TO PROTECT OUR SUBORDINATESI!" Tashigi pleads "THEN LET ME GO WITH YOU!!" as the figure warns "YOU DO REALISE HOW STRONG THAT MAN ISI! IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN..."

Marines react in panic: "WE'RE NO BETTER... WE LET THOSE YETI MEN PUT US TO SLEEP...!!!" "APPARENTLY HE SUFFOCATED HIM. HIS ABILITY IS 'GAS.' IT'S NOT EASY TO FIGHT AGAINST." "THAT'S WHAT CAESAR SAID." "SERIOUSLYI!! THE GUY DEFEATED LUFFYI!" Luffy lies sprawled as gas swirls. Franky and others shout "HMI" "THIS IS NO JOKING MATTER!! OI, LUFFY!!!" "NOW, WE ALL SURVIVED, SO LET'S BE-" "IT'S NO GOOD SAYING 'I LET MY GUARD DOWN'. ONE SLIP COULD COST US OUR LIVES!!" Luffy snaps awake with wide eyes, yelling "YOU'RE RIGHT... SORRY!!! I WON'T LET MY GUARD DOWN AGAIN!!!" as Sanji glares and roars "WE'VE STILL GOT THE WHOLE NEW WORLD AHEAD OF US!! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!" A voice notes "HE'S PRETTY TOUGH ON HIMSELF..."

On a high walkway, a voice commands "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S PLANNING, BUT SHOOT HIM DOWN!!" as Luffy stretches dramatically with "STRETCH" and laughs "HAAAAAAAH HHHHHHHHHH!! IT'S STRAW HAT!!" He spins mid-air shouting "SHISHISHI!" while enemies fire wildly. Massive onomatopoeia "ごりゅん!! TWIRL!!! ビリビリ" erupts as Luffy dives. A marine gasps "!I" while Luffy yells "GOMU GOMU NOO!!" The page ends with the label "68 "Pirate Alliance" (End)" amid swirling smoke and chaos on the bridge.

Luffy clings to a massive spinning mechanical device high above the facility, the huge SFX "ビシャバシャ" and "UFO!!" dominating the panel as he yells "YAHHOO!!" Below, marines scream "AAA RGHHH HHHH!!!" while Luffy cheers "YAHOO!! AHAHA HAHA!!" A marine sweats "HE COULD TRY BEING A LITTLE SERIOUS..." Sanji glares upward as Luffy spins wildly on the UFO-like machine, laughing "AHAHAHAH!! I'LL GO ON AHEAD!!!" with more frantic SFX and motion lines filling the air.
