Mushrooms-Growing-From-Your-Body-Shroom

On the upper deck of a ship in the Shabondy Archipelago, Grove 41, a stern-faced man with spiky hair and a scar mutters "HRM..." while listening to reports. Voices discuss: "I WONDER IF THEY'VE BEEN CAUGHT BY THEIR PURSUERS..." "BOSS DUVAL, THE STRAWHATS SURE ARE LATE." "I HEAR THERE'S A HUGE MESS OVER BY THE PORT." Below, the ship is under attack by Rose-Colored Life Riders. A small creature with a star-like head shouts "YES!! DUVA-SOME!!" as the crew yells "ROSE-COLORED LIFE RIDERS!!!" "WE'RE GUARDING THIS SHIP UNTIL THE CREW GETS HERE!!!" "WE DON'T WANT SOMEONE SNEAKING UP ON US AND STEALING THE SHIP!" "ALL THE MORE REASON TO STAY ON YOUR TOES!!" Impact sounds and motion lines fill the chaotic scene.

At Grove 1, Auction House, a massive ruined structure labeled "HUMAN" stands amid rubble. Voices argue: "IF YOU COULD BE A LITTLE PATIENT WITH..." "CURRENTLY, ADMIRAL KIZARU IS PURSUING THEM, SO WE BELIEVE IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF TIME!!" "YOU STILL HAVEN'T CAUGHT THEMI!" "YOU BUNCH OF STUPID DOGS!!" In close-ups, a bandaged man with a long nose screams in rage: "THE BLOOD-LINE OF THIS WORLD'S CREATORS IS WORTH!!!" "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK..." "YOU'VE LET ALL OF MY SLAVES ESCAPE...!!!" "ON TOP OF ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN TO MY FATHER AND MY BROTHER..." Guards stand tense in the background. A close-up shows a woman with heart-shaped earrings and a stitched face snarling: "THEY WILL TASTE LIVING HELL!!!" "ON THE DAY THEY ARE CAUGHT, THEY WILL COME CRAWLING, BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS..."

At Grove 13, Shakki's Rip-Off Bar, a tall tower rises under a starry sky. Voices worry: "I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS...!!!" "I WONDER IF LUFFY AND THE OTHERS ARE OKAY..." Inside the bar, a woman with a spotted headwrap sweats and says "..." while another with short light hair urges "COME ON, CAMIE!!" "DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT!!" A third figure adds "NYUU- THEY'RE STRONG, SO THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU TO WORRY ABOUT, CAMIE." Elsewhere, a dark-haired woman in a suit touches her face, thinking: "THEY CAN'T LOSE TO THAT WAVE..." "WE'RE COMING UP AGAINST SOME STORMY SEAS..." "A WAVE BIGGER THAN ANY BEFORE IT IS COMING..." "CAN'T YOU HEAR IT...I" A small panel shows her saying "I HOPE SO..." as others react with "NYU!I" and "IF THEY'RE UP AGAINST AN ADMIRAL, THEN THEIR 'STRENGTH' ISN'T GOING TO MATCH UP..."

High in the sky, seagulls wheel through the clouds. One cries "KUW..." while another reacts with a startled "EHI". Below, the vast landscape reveals a sprawling forest of massive trees enclosed under countless transparent domes, connected by walkways and dotted with strange circular structures. A large speech bubble declares: "THIS ERA IS SLOWLY STARTING TO CHANGE." Small birds fly in the distance as motion lines and impact effects ripple across the sky.

Luffy stands on a sandy shore, desperately shouting into the sky: "FRANKY!! ROBIN CHOPPER!! SANJI!! NAMI!! USOPP!! ZORO!! BROOK!!" A narration box states: "At that time, having been banished from the Shabondy Archipelago by Bartholomew Kuma, Monkey D. Luffy is..." Luffy continues, "MY ENTIRE CREW HAS BEEN SENT SOMEWHERE!!!" as he yells "DAMN IT!!!" and "HUUU...". Subsequent panels show him tumbling through the air after being struck, thinking "WHERE AM I FLYING TOI!" and "WHERE DID EVERYONE DISAPPEAR TO!!I" while recalling the bear Shichibukai's attack.

Luffy plummets through the clouds with arms outstretched, crying "GUU...". He crashes violently onto a giant leaf-like structure with a massive impact "ベロベロベロベロ!!!" and a shocked "!!I". The force sends him tumbling across the surface. In the next sequence he skids along the ground, exclaiming "FUGEH..." as he slides to a stop amid dust and debris.

Luffy lies dazed in a crater on the jungle floor, surrounded by palm trees and dense foliage. Speech bubbles show "..." from both sides. He slowly sits up, covered in scratches, muttering "GYAA GYAA" and "CHICHI-CHICHI..." with a confused "I". A large wild boar appears, grunting "BUHI BUHI..." and "FUGO FUGO..." while Luffy stares and finally shouts "... I'M ALIVE....!!!" as the boar reacts with "BAKS BAKS!!".

Luffy stands beside a massive crater left by the bear-like creature's attack. "DOESN'T LOOK LIKE I SURVIVED BECAUSE I'M RUBBER. AND WHAT'S THIS MARK THAT LOOKS LIKE THE THING ON THAT BEAR GUY'S HAND...I" he wonders. "I HOPE THAT EVERYONE ELSE WAS SAVED, TOO." A woman in a wide hat and tribal outfit appears nearby. "THAT'S RIGHT! AH!" Luffy suddenly realizes, "...ANYWAY, I HAVE TO GO BACK...!!! WHERE IS THIS... AND WHICH WAY IS THE SHABONDY ARCHIPELAGO...I" He examines a small card in his hand marked "Vivre Card" as it points forward. "ZURI... ZURI... THAT WAY, HUHI FUJI... ALL RIGHT! I'M GOING BACK!! I'VE GOT TO HEAD BACK FOR NOW!! I'VE GOT THE VIVRE CARD!! THANK GOD!! EVERYONE HAS ONE...!! I'M SURE I'LL BE ABLE TO MEET UP WITH THEM AGAIN!!!"

Chaos erupts as a massive elephant-like beast rampages through the jungle. Luffy yells, "HAA!! HAA!! WE CAN'T BEAT THESE GUYS!! RIGHT NOW, EVERYONE, JUST GET OUT OF HERE!!!" The creature charges, "ARRY-AAAAH-HHHH!!!" while smaller figures scream, "ZEEH ZEEH..." A close-up shows Luffy's furious face: "NLUGA-AAAA-AA!!! NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE...!!!!...I COULDN'T SAVE THEM...!!!!" The woman cries out, "LUFFY, HELP..." The beast smashes through trees and foliage, "FUGO..." Luffy lands in a clearing, "BUT THE CARD IS POINTING THAT WAY... WHAT...!I IS THIS THE END OF THE ROAD...!!!I HAA... HAA... WELL... IT DOESN'T REALLY HURT, BUT... OW!!!"

Luffy's massive fist smashes through rock in a huge impact, "GIGANT PISTOL"!!! Debris flies everywhere. In a smaller panel he lies injured, muttering, "SANJI, FOOD!! I'M SO HUNGRY... N... NO GOOD... I'VE GOT NO STRENGTH AT ALL..." A large boar-like creature with tusks looms over him, "FUGO!!! HMI" The beast reacts with surprise as Luffy remains on the ground, "GIGANT PISTOL" impact still echoing.

Luffy lies among jungle ruins and bones, reminiscing, "WHEN I WAS A KID AND GRAMPS THREW ME INTO THE JUNGLE... HAA... THAT TAKES ME BACK- WHAT A GREAT MEAL!!" He suddenly laughs uncontrollably, "WAHYA-HYAHYA-HYA... NOW THINGS ARE GETTING FUN! AHYAHYA... EVEN THOUGH I'M ALONE. AH! ISN'T THIS A 'LAUGHING-SHROOM'I YEAH, THESE ARE GREAT FOR A TIME LIKE THIS." The mushrooms affect him further: "UHYA-HYAHYA-HYA!! HAA... HAA... WHERE'S THAT LAUGHING-SHROOM...I PAKU!! UGA-AAAAH!!! HMI NOW I'M GETTING ANGRY!! OH! THERE'S A WEIRD ONE GROWING HERE. AH, ANOTHER WEIRD MUSHROOM."

In the jungle, a cloaked woman stands over a small creature as a voice calls out, "MARGARET!!" Margaret wonders aloud, "WHAT IS IT...!I" The tale of "I WONDER WHAT THIS IS!I" echoes. Suddenly a figure lies sprawled on the ground, body covered in strange mushrooms, with large SFX "はっ" and "んっ!!" A shocked voice cries, "... WHA... WHAT IS THIS!I ISN'T IT A PERSON!!I" The narration box states: THE TALE OF "MUSHROOMS-GROWING-FROM-YOUR-BODY-SHROOM." Margaret and the cloaked woman examine the victim. "LOOK, THIS MUSHROOM HAD A BITE TAKEN OUT OF IT." "... IT'S THIS!!" "WHEN YOU EAT IT, MUSHROOMS GROW FROM YOUR BODY!! THIS IS TERRIBLE!!" Another voice adds, "I DON'T KNOW... BUT WITH ALL THESE MUSHROOMS SPROUTING... MAYBE SOMEONE FROM THE VILLAGEI"

The cloaked woman, now revealed as a tall warrior with a snake companion, reacts with fury. Narration reads THE TALE OF "NOT A MOMENT TO SPARE!" She declares, "IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING, THE MUSHROOMS WILL SUCK AWAY HER LIFE AND SHE WILL DIE." A large SFX "とくっ!!" erupts. In a smaller panel, a warrior with a feathered hat says, "GOT IT." The tall woman orders, "APHELANDRA! CARRY HER BACK TO THE VILLAGE." Aphelandra replies, "LET'S HURRY!!" The narration continues THE TALE OF "TAKE HER BACK TO THE VILLAGE!"

An emergency cry echoes through the village: "EMERGENCY!!" with SFX "ガヤ" and "ガヤ." A crowd of Kuja women gathers around the mushroom-covered Margaret. Voices ask, "IS SHE EVEN ALIVEI" "WHO IS IT!I" "WHAT HAPPENED TO HER...!I HER BODY'S COVERED WITH MUSHROOMS!!" Inside a building, Margaret lies on a table as the tall woman and others tend to her. "MARGARET, YOU SURE PICKED UP SOMETHING WEIRD, HUH...I" The tall woman says, "YOU'RE RIGHT! BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT LEAVES A LITTLE STUMP." "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE STUMPS. WE'LL BURN THEM OFF LATER." SFX "ズポーン!" and "ズポ!" mark the removal of mushrooms.

Hot steam and flames erupt as Margaret screams "HOT HOT HOT!!!" with massive SFX and "GYAA AAA...!!" A small panel shows Belladonna reacting. The women discuss treatment: "IT LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS IN A FIERCE BATTLE... WE'LL HAVE TO TREAT HER WOUNDS, TOO." "REALLYI" "BUT EVEN UNDER THE MUSHROOMS, HER BODY IS COVERED WITH INJURIES." Belladonna warns, "IF I DIDN'T DO THAT, THEY WOULD JUST GROW BACK." "BELLADONNA!! DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE OVERDOING IT...I" Margaret is carried to a river. "I'M SORRY, MARGARET, WOULD YOU TAKE HER TO THE RIVER AND WASH OFF HER BODYI" "... SHE'S UNCONSCIOUS AGAIN..." Later at a bath, Sweet Pea notices, "HUH!I LOOK HERE, THERE'S STILL ONE MUSHROOM LEFT." The narration reads THE TALE OF "TAKE," EHI" as they scrub Margaret clean. "WE MUST HAVE MISSED IT SINCE IT'S IN BETWEEN HER LEGS..." "IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SHE'S FROM OUR VILLAGE, SWEETPEA."

Kuja warriors gather around a massive woman struggling on the ground as strange mushrooms sprout from her body. Voices from the crowd call out: "SEE! IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLE!" "YOU'RE LOOKING, TOO!" "HOW LONG ARE YOU ALL GOING TO STAND THERE WATCHINGI THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE!" "NNNGHHH!! I CAN'T PULL IT OFF!! WHAT!I IT'S STRETCHING!!" "ISN'T THIS ONE SHAPED DIFFERENTLY FROM THE ONES BEFOREI WHAT A STRANGE SHAPE." Smaller comments follow: "AND SHE LOOKS KINDA SCRAGGLY..." "BUT SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY BREASTS..." A young blonde Kuja reports to an elder: "AH, ELDER NYON! THIS GIRL HAD MUSHROOMS GROWING FROM HER BODY, AND WE CAN'T PULL THIS ONE OFF!" The elder and others react with surprise. "WHAT DO WE HAVE HEREI" "WHAT, WHATI" Suddenly the large figure's face twists in horror as the truth hits: "A MAN!!!" The elder gasps, "OH MY... TH... THIS IS..." while another mutters, "WELL THEN... JUST WHO IS..."

The Kuja women recoil in absolute shock, faces twisted in terror. One screams, "THIS IS... A MAN!!I I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE!!" Massive sound effects explode across the page: "ドよぉっ!!!" and "EHHH HHH!!!" Narration boxes introduce the setting: "The island of women, 'Amazon Lily.'" and "This is the country of a tribe of female warriors, the 'Kuja.'" The island itself is shown as a towering, snake-shaped mountain with the label "九蛇" while screams echo: "KYAAAA AAHHH!!!" Below, a battered young man with a straw hat lies half-submerged in water, covered in injuries and X-shaped marks. Text boxes warn: "And if you value your life... you should never set foot here..." "An island that should not even be dreamt of."
