The Straw Hat Pirates stride confidently along a rain-slicked path beneath a massive twisted tree. Luffy leads in the center wearing a black-and-white patterned kimono, wooden sword over his shoulder and a large red-and-white striped umbrella held high. To his left, Nami walks in a flowing purple kimono with an orange obi, twirling a blue-and-white parasol. Zoro follows in an orange flame-patterned kimono, gripping multiple swords and a red-and-white umbrella. Sanji appears next in a dark kimono with a white eagle emblem, followed by Usopp in a floral-patterned kimono carrying a massive rifle. Chopper trails at the rear in a black floral kimono, shouldering an oversized weapon. Frogs cheer from behind a wooden fence on the left while cherry blossoms drift through the golden sky. A sign reading "花道" and "ONE PIECE" appears in the upper left corner.

A steam locomotive races through stormy mountains as large onomatopoeia "ゴォォォォ" and "ゴォォォ" shake the panel. A massive close-up shows a wild-eyed, fanged man with leaf-like hair roaring in rage. Below, a curly-haired fighter with a beaded necklace and earrings taunts, "HEH, YOU BRAGGED AND BRAGGED, BUT I DON'T SEE YOU GETTING ANY STRONGER WITH FOUR LEGS, CENTAUR!" while a black-clad figure is violently kicked off a speeding train car. The impact produces a huge "ドシャアァァァァ!!" sound effect and a small "TAP!!" as the victim tumbles. The attacker grins triumphantly amid motion lines and debris.

The black-clad fighter clings desperately to the side of the speeding train, shouting "I'M GONNA FALL ~~~!!" as "SLIP!!" appears near his slipping hand. The curly-haired man watches from the platform with a calm "ACTUALLY...." and a question mark bubble. In the next panel the fighter is shown mid-fall with "ぐぃぃん!!" sound effects. The curly-haired man smirks, "WELL...." and "HAHAHA... HOW PITIFUL! NEED A HANDI" The falling man snaps back with a large "NO THANKS!!" while the curly-haired man yells "IDIOT!!!" amid heavy impact lines and "ダダダダ" effects as the fighter crashes down.

The black-clad fighter lies on the ground groaning, "AH... MY ARMS AND LEGS... THEY'RE LOCKED DOWN!!" while the curly-haired man looms overhead declaring "I'VE GOT YOU!!!" and "NOW YOU'LL EXPERIENCE MY FOUR-LEGGED POWER!!" The curly-haired man laughs "HAHAHAHA... SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT..." and mocks "CARE-LESS...!I" The black-clad fighter retorts from below, "DO YOU REALLY THINK... THAT THIS'LL BE JUST A NORMAL PUNCHI" The curly-haired man answers "OH YEAH, ALSO... IF YOU HAVE ANY LAST WORDS, SAY 'EM NOW. DON'T WASTE MY TIME..." while cracking his knuckles with "CRICK! CRICK!" The black-clad fighter dodges with "ギィ..." sounds and thinks "HOW SCARY THIS PUNCH IS....." as the curly-haired man prepares a devastating strike.

A massive explosive impact rocks the battlefield as a fighter delivers a devastating blow. "ULTIMATE HAMMER!!!!" the attack is labeled in huge letters amid flying debris and black impact blocks. Smaller panels show prior moments: a spiky-haired warrior grinning with "Xキ Xキ!!" and "GRK GRK" sound effects, followed by a fiery explosion "ドドドゴーン!!" and a shocked "!!!!I" reaction from a figure with a star belt. The main splash captures the full force of the strike, with motion lines and smoke filling the frame as the victim is hurled backward.

In the ruined room, a long-nosed man in a striped suit asks, "OH! DID YOU TAKE CARE OF THE RAMEN GUY ALREADYI" A voice replies, "YEAH, JUST NOW." Another figure wonders, "WHERE... DID YOU SUDDENLY APPEAR FROMI" Below, a tall man in a top hat and a woman in a black dress stand over a collapsed CP9 agent. "ARE ALL OF THE ESCORTING MARINES DOWN...I" one asks. "IT'S BECOME SO NOISY ALL OF A SUDDEN..." another notes. "BUT WE DIDN'T EXPECT MUCH OF THEM TO BEGIN WITH," the top-hatted man adds as "CRASH!!" echoes from the wreckage.

Sanji warns, "CAREFUL, THEY USE SOME REALLY WEIRD MOVES," while facing a battered opponent. He continues, "SO... THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO KIDNAPPED ROBINI" Nearby, a man in a bowler hat exclaims, "CORGI SAID HE'S A NEW MEMBER OF CP9. HE KNOWS HOW TO USE FOUR OF THE FORMS." Another asks, "WHO'S HEI" The bowler-hatted man stares in shock. The injured fighter growls, "I... I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!" "I'M A COMBAT GENIUS!!" "GUH... YOU'RE DEAD...!!" and "BASTARD...!!" while gasping "HAA... HAA...!!!" as Sanji retorts, "... HEY, NEW GUY."

Rob Lucci, bloodied and kneeling, declares, "JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT... I'LL KILL HIM IMMEDIATELY..." A cloaked figure replies, "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CAPTURE FRANKY ALIVE, BUT YOU LET YOUR EMOTIONS GET THE BETTER OF YOU." Lucci mutters, "AH... YOU MUST BE... ROB LUCCI... I FORGOT TO SAY HI...!!" In rapid succession, a countdown begins: "HUH!I" "!I" "YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS TO RUN FOR YOUR LIFE." "..... FORGET IT." The sequence shows "AH..." "2..." "3..." "D... DON'T DO IT!!!" "1" "HEY! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!I" ending with a massive "SORU!!!" as Lucci vanishes in a blur, leaving only "FROM WHOI" and "RUN FOR MY LIFEI" echoing.

A towering CP9 agent with horns and a spiked necklace reels backward from a massive impact, arms flung wide as debris flies. "GWAH!!!" he roars. In the lower panels the same agent, bloodied and furious, glares upward while a voice coldly lectures him: "YOU HAVE TO MASTER ALL SIX FORMS... YOU HALF-ASSED WORTHLESS TRASH... BEFORE YOU CAN CLAIM TO BE A CHOUJIN, BRAT... AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A MEMBER OF CP9." A small note reads "CHOUJIN MEANS 'SUPERMAN'". Crash and sploosh sound effects punctuate the blows as the agent is driven down.

Rob Lucci, in his signature top hat, orders "ON THE REPORT, PUT..." Kalifa adjusts her glasses and replies "YES. KARIFA..." while the horned agent mutters "KARIFA...". The group discusses the fallen fighter: "HE WAS WORTHLESS." "THE NEW GUY WAS TOO WEAK." "UNDERSTOOD." Sanji stands with a dark-haired woman in the ruined hall; she clings to him, whispering "THEY'RE WAY MORE EVIL THAN US..." Sanji exhales smoke and mutters "THESE ARE THE AGENTS OF JUSTICE...I"

Rob Lucci fixes Sanji with a piercing stare. "JUDGING BY HOW YOU OPENED THE DOOR, I KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE YOU ARE... WHAT ARE YOU... FORGET IT, I DON'T NEED TO ASK." Kalifa adds "HER PROBLEM IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING." Sanji answers flatly "IF YOU'RE HERE FOR NICO ROBIN... GIVE UP NOW. PLEASE EXCUSE MY MANNERS." A large wanted poster of young Nico Robin appears; the agents continue "IF THERE WERE SOMEONE WITH THE ABILITY TO WAKE THAT DEMON... FOR EXAMPLE, THERE EXISTS A SLEEPING DEMON CAPABLE OF DESTROYING THE WORLD... SINCE THEY WERE BORN ONLY TO BRING MISFORTUNE UPON THE WORLD... THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO ARE BETTER OFF DEAD... EVEN IF SHE WERE ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD..."

Rob Lucci's face fills the panel, eyes cold. "FOR THE SAKE OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. WE SHOULD STILL ELIMINATE HER..." He continues "NOW SHE'S A CRIMINAL WITH A MUCH DEEPER HISTORY, BUT BEFORE ALL OF THAT... WHAT I'VE TOLD YOU IS EXACTLY WHAT NICO ROBIN'S ORIGINAL CRIME WAS." The horned agent growls "ONLY HER DEATH CAN BRING SAFETY AND HAPPINESS TO OTHERS. SHE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT HER FATE." Kalifa concludes "SHE'D ALREADY SINNED BY HER VERY EXISTENCE!!!" Sanji listens in tense silence as the agents pass judgment.

A man in a black top hat with a small bird perched on his shoulder speaks coldly. "SHE MUST DIE... FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD. SHE SHOULD HAVE DIED 20 YEARS AGO, AND NOW... BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE..." In the next panel a furious figure launches a powerful kick, shouting "SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" and "BULL SHIT!!!" The attacker declares, "BUT I'LL PROBABLY TAKE THE GOVERNMENT A FEW YEARS..." Below, Nico Robin glares fiercely and snaps, "IN YOUR DREAMS!!!" The man in the hat continues, "IN WHATEVER HORRIBLE MANNER... AND THEN, AFTER THAT, THIS WOMAN WILL DIE... TO HARVEST ALL OF NICO ROBIN'S... KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCES." Someone yells, "WAIT! ROBIN! DON'T GO IN THERE!!"

Nico Robin walks away through a shattered doorway as debris falls. Voices cry out "AH! WAH!" and "!!!" In the next tier, a blonde woman with a ponytail says, "I'LL TAKE CARE OF THESE GUYS RIGHT AWAY, AND THEN WE'LL RUN AWAY TOGETHER!!" She turns to Robin with relief: "I'M SO GLAD!! ARE YOU OKAY!I DID THEY DO ANYTHING TO YOU!I" Sanji stares in shock, shouting "ROBIN!!!" A close-up shows Robin's calm face. Spandam mutters, "IS THAT NICO ROBINI HM... SURE LOOKS LIKE THE GIRL IN THE BOUNTY..." Another voice asks, "AND TOOK SO MUCH EFFORT TO BEAT THAT OFFICER!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!I IT WAS SO MUCH WORK TO CLIMB IN THERE..."

Usopp is sent flying amid massive impact lines and debris, crying "USOPP!!!" and "UH-GAH!!!" A small creature reacts with "EHI" Robin stands firm and states, "ARE MEANINGLESS TO YOU PEOPLE... IT SEEMS THAT WORDS..." Sanji shouts in alarm, "OW...!! ROBIN... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!I" Spandam laughs, "HAHA HA..." while a horned man watches nearby. Sanji's face twists in disbelief.

Franky appears dramatically, arms outstretched, yelling "TO GET AWAY!!! GET AWAY!I" and "FRANKY!! CUT THE THIRD CAR LOOSE!!!" Usopp, dressed as Sogeking, stands ready with "SOGE-KING..." A masked figure warns, "YOU SHOULD GET READY, TOO. IT'LL ALL HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT!!" and "HEY! WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO DO!I" Another shouts, "DON'T LET FRANKY ESCAPE!!" Franky replies, "OKAY." In the final panel a massive explosion erupts with smoke and debris as someone screams "WAH!!" and "SMOKE STAR!!!"

In a chaotic sequence of panels, several figures react in shock. One shouts, "WHAT A DUMB TRICK!!" Another exclaims ".....!!!" followed by "!!I" and "KAFF" as a character coughs violently. A spiky-haired figure gasps "AH!" The scene erupts into a large dynamic panel where Nico Robin is shown being grabbed and pulled along by a masked, horned figure in a black outfit. The masked character yells "!!I" while Robin is carried forward. A large speech bubble declares "NICO ROBIN... IS COMING WITH US!!" Below, the word "RUN!!!" appears as an explosion erupts with "FOOM!!!" Two characters react with wide-eyed excitement: one roars "うおおお" and "AWE-SOME!!!" while the other shouts "おおお!"
