No description for this page. The massive stitched giant Oars looms over the ruined battlefield, muttering "..." before growling, "THAT LEAVES..." Wanted posters of the "COOL HERO," the "ORANGE WOMAN," and the "STRAWHAT" FROM BEFORE flash through his mind. Oars clenches a fist and roars, "WHERE ARE THEYI" as he surveys the destruction. "THREE MORE, HUH..." he mutters, smashing through rubble with thunderous force. The ground quakes under his steps while smaller figures lie crushed amid the debris and swirling dust clouds. Oars
Perona jolts awake with a piercing "HA!!!" as voices cry out, "OH!! SHE'S AWAKE!!" In the ruined hall, frantic zombies shout, "PLEASE LOOK AROUND!! THERE'S NOTHING HERE!!", "P-PERONA-SAMA!! WAIT....!!", "I HATE COCKROACHES! GET THEM OFF OF ME! HURRY AND GET THEM AWAY!!!", "PERONA-SAMA!!", and "WAAAH, STOP WITH THE HAMMER!!" Perona demands, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!I WHO DID THIS!I" A zombie replies, "THE ENEMY'S GONE!! YOU LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND COLLAPSED!!" She stares in shock, whispering, "THIS IS..." as Oars looms behind her. Perona Oars
Zombies panic amid the collapsing mansion: "THE PIRATES ARE RAMPAGING ABOUT, BUT THIS WAS DONE BY OZ!!!", "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MANSION...!I", "DID THOSE PIRATES DO THIS!I", and "OZ!I" One cries, "CAN'T WE CONTROL OZ AT ALL!I OUR STRONGEST FIGHTERS!I" Another reports, "WELL... WE'VE HEARD THAT... THE GENERAL ZOMBIES WERE COMPLETELY WIPED OUT BY OZ!" Perona watches in horror as a massive fist slams down with a thunderous "ZUGOOOOON!!" Oars bellows "GUWAAAAA AAA!!!" while zombies scream "NO, THAT'S...", "BROTHERS!!", and "KYAAAAA!! YOU GUYS!!" Perona Oars
Oars realizes, "AH... N... NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, HE ALSO STEPPED ON LORD HOGBACK!!" Shocked voices yell, "WHAT!!!I", "O...!!! OZ!!I", and "THAT WOMAN'S NOT HEREI" Perona shouts orders: "HURRY, GO GET THE TREASURE AND SOME SUPPLIES!!" She panics, ""WOMAN"....!! TH... THIS IS BAD!! WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!! WE'RE GOING TO LOAD UP THOSE PIRATES' SHIP AND RUN! OZ AND THOSE PIRATES ARE GOING TO TOTALLY DESTROY THRILLER BARK!!" Zombies salute, "YES, MA'AM!! RIGHT AWAY!!!" and "HURRY!!!" as they flee the crumbling ruins. Perona Oars
In the ruined ceremonial hall, the ceremony continues after the binding kiss. Nami, dressed as a bride with veil and earrings, stares in shock with wide eyes and a sweat drop as she realizes what has happened. "HA..." she breathes. Suddenly a massive stitched face lunges forward with a roar, "EHHHHH~!I" The creature, Lola, reacts violently with motion lines and impact effects. In smaller panels below, other figures react: one shouts "KYAAAAA!!" while another yells "WAIT, WAIT, WHAT'S GOING ON!I" and "NAMI, YOU'RE AWAKE!I" A voice commands "STOP!!" as the chaos erupts around the hall labeled "Ceremonial Hall - just some empty room." Nami Lola
Lola panics and refuses the situation, shouting "I'M NOT READY FOR THIS; I STILL WANT TO GO ON ADVENTURES!!" and "I TOLD YOU NO, YOU INVISIBLE PERVERTED ANIMAL!!!" while others urge "COME ON, GIVE IT UP!!!" and "WITH THIS KISS, YOU'LL BECOME MY WIFE!!!" Nami's voice cuts in: "BE SILENT AND REJOICE!! YOU'LL BECOME THE GRAVEYARD KING'S WIFE!! THE QUEEN OF THE GRAVEYARD!!!" and "WHAT!I NO!" The scene explodes into violence as Lola attacks with a massive "CRUSH" impact, debris flying everywhere. Someone yells "NAMIZOU, YOU BASTARD!!!" amid the destruction and swirling motion lines. Nami Lola
Lola screams "LOLAAAA!!!" in fury while Nami looks on in horror, gasping "LO..." Absalom stands amid rubble, swords drawn, yelling "NAMIZOU!!! YOU...!!! HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY MAN!!!" and "YOU WERE LYING ABOUT MY LOVE, WEREN'T YOU!I" Nami tries to protest "WAIT... HOLD ON A SECOND, LOLA!!! I... I WAS UNCONSCIOUS!" as Lola retorts "YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO STEAL AWAY MY DEAR AB THE ENTIRE TIME!!" The fight intensifies with Lola shouting "KYAAAAA!!!" and "NO, IT'S NOT LOVELY AT ALL!!! YOU TRAITOR!!!" Nami, still in the wedding dress, exclaims "AH!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S..." and questions "WHY ARE YOU WEARING A WEDDING DRESS!I IT'S LOVELY, BY THE WAY." Nami Lola Absalom
Lola continues the rampage, declaring "I REFUSE!!!" and "SHUT UP!!! LET'S GET MARRIED." with a heart symbol, while others shout "LOLA!!! ON TOP OF BARGING IN AND RUINING THE CEREMONY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BRIDE!!!I" Nami reacts with shock: "WHAAAAAT!!!I" and "A MAN!!!" as the revelation hits. A figure explains "HER REAL NAME IS 'NAMIZOU,' AND SHE'S ACTUALLY..." Absalom adds "MY DEAR AB, YOU DIDN'T KNOW, RIGHT!!!I" Nami recalls "I DID SAY THAT..." The brawl escalates with cries of "HEY!! STOP IT!!!" "GET OUT OF HERE, NAMIZOU!!!" and "STOP, LOLA!!" as Lola is dragged away amid impact effects and motion lines. Nami Lola Absalom
Lola lunges forward in her tattered wedding dress, shouting, "I'LL SLOW HIM DOWN!!" Nami sprints away in panic, yelling, "RUN, NAMIZOU!!" Absalom looms behind them with a massive grin, declaring, "NOW, ABSALOM!! NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, YOU CAN GET MARRIED TO ME!!!" Lola cries out desperately, "MY FRIEND!!" while Nami stares in shock, whispering, "LOLA..." A tiger zombie points accusingly and growls, "SHE IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, A WOMAN, LOLA!! NOW..." Absalom roars triumphantly, "THE BRIDE IS RIGHT HERE!!!" Nami flees as Absalom charges after her, with the cry, "THE BRIDE...!!! SHE'S ESCAPING!!" Lola Nami Absalom
Nami screams, "LOLA!!!" as Absalom barrels through debris in a massive explosion of smoke and impact, roaring, "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" A marine-like zombie in the background yells, "MAKING ME EXPEND THIS MUCH EFFORT!! DAMN ZOMBIE...!!!" while extending a clawed hand. Absalom smashes forward with a huge "DON" impact, sending Nami flying amid flying rubble and destruction. Nami Absalom
Absalom pants heavily, taunting, "OH... YOU WISED UP... HAA... AND STOPPED RUNNING. NO MATTER WHERE YOU RUN, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE. I'M AN 'INVISIBLE MAN.'" Nami stands firm and replies, "I CAME TO HELP YOU, MY FRIEND!!" She then unleashes her attack, shouting, "THUNDER CHARGE"!!!" while swinging her staff. Absalom reacts in fury, "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO LOLA." Nami calls out, "THAT'S RIGHT, COME JUMP INTO MY ARMS." Nami Absalom
Nami swings her staff with full force, yelling, "SWING ARM"!!!" The strike connects with Absalom in a massive explosion of impact and debris. Absalom growls, "BUT I KNEW THAT ALREADY..." while Nami retorts, "IT DIDN'T WORK...!!!" The powerful blow sends Absalom crashing backward amid flying wreckage and smoke. Nami Absalom
In the ruined hall filled with rubble and smoke, the massive stitched creature Absalom lies sprawled on the floor, coughing and defeated. Lola stands over him in her torn wedding dress, eyes wide with shock. A voice wonders, "...I" while small question marks float nearby. Absalom mutters weakly, "Fsssh... Fsssh..." Lola stares in disbelief. Someone thinks, "I knew it... He was already past his limits after his fight with that man... That makes sense..." Lola asks aloud, "It didn't work at all when we fought at the bridge... WhyI" Absalom suddenly springs up with renewed energy, shouting, "I must have hit a weak spot or something!!" He raises his arm triumphantly as a huge impact SFX "ドーン!!" erupts with debris flying. He yells, "WELL, WHATEVER!! I WON!!!" while laughing "うわーあはは". Lola Absalom
Lola thanks the fallen Absalom, "THANK YOU FOR COMING TO HELP ME!!" while he coughs, "HAA..." and mutters "..." She calls out, "LOLA!! ARE YOU OKAYI GET A GRIP!!" Absalom groans in pain. Lola confesses tearfully, "I lied to you!! I'm really sorry! But I...!!! I was scared, and I'm a woman!!" Absalom rises again in the background, demanding, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, NAMIZOU...I WE'RE FRIENDS." Lola continues, "More importantly!! My dear Absalom can't resist now, right!I" She smiles brightly and declares, "You're going to be a groom, Absalom!!!" Absalom looms close with a wide grin, saying, "LOLA. I knew all along. You fool," as a large SFX "ビャーン!!" explodes. Lola Absalom
From the rubble, a voice shouts, "COME ON OUT, YOU LEFTOVERS!! ARE YOU HERE!!I" A giant stitched creature with horns and wild hair crashes through the castle wall. Multiple voices debate its name: "No, that's way off!!", "HUEZI", "No, I'm sure it ended with a 'Z.'", "I think it was... Ross.", "OssI", "Umm", "What was his name again", "HMMI No, it's still missing something!!", "It's 'Oz.'", "That's it!!!" The giant, Oars, looks confused. Below, Sanji yells, "HEY, OZ!!" while Oars replies weakly, "Can you move a bitI Just out of the way." "Ah, I guess there's no helping it. M... My apologies, my body..." A warning appears: "If you've got Luffy's shadow in you..." Oars Sanji
Oars roars with a massive close-up, "YOUR OWN CREW'S STRENGTH!!! YOU SHOULDN'T BE UNDERESTIMATING" as a huge SFX "ズゴォン" shakes the ruins. In the devastated courtyard, a large bear-like man in a top hat stands ready, Sanji adjusts his stance with hands behind his head, and other figures including a woman in a dress and armored warriors appear amid the debris. The giant's overwhelming presence looms over the group as the battle intensifies. Oars Sanji
The page opens with the 'SBS' banner titled '質問コーナー'. Eiichiro Oda greets readers: 'HELLO!!! IS EVERYONE DOING WELL!!I I'M THE WRITER, AND I GOT HERE FIRST. I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE TAKE MY PLACE!! NOW, I'D LIKE TO GET THE QUESTION CORNER STARTED! READY, SET, SBS!! STARS...!! SHOOT, I MESSED UP... THERE SHOULD BE A "T" AT THE END... A "T"...!!! AHH, I'M JUST NO GOOD...!!! IF I COULD BE BORN AGAIN... I WANT... TO BE THE WALL IN A WOMAN'S BATH... << FULL OF HOPE >>'. A reader writes: 'I THINK THAT IF USOPP AND I TEAMED UP, HE COULD BE THE ULTIMATE STRAIGHT MAN AND I COULD BE THE ULTIMATE FOOL IN OUR ULTIMATE TSUKKOMI. PLEASE LET ME BE A TEAM WITH USOPP. PLEASE THINK OF A NAME FOR US, TOO.' Oda replies with suggested comedy duo names: 'OKAY! BECOME A STAR IN THE WORLD OF COMEDY!! YOUR NAME WILL BE... "TEKIZEN TOUBOU," OR "FLEES FROM ENEMIES."' Another reader asks about Robin's change in addressing Nami as 'NAMI-CHAN' and whether she calls others by name after Enies Lobby. Oda answers: 'A MOTHER WHO RESEMBLES BROOK... THAT'S AMAZING!! IT'S GOOD TO BE FUNKY. NOW, ABOUT ROBIN. LOTS OF THE READERS NOTICED THIS, WHICH MAKES ME HAPPY. IN CHAPTER 475 OF THIS BOOK, ROBIN HAS A LINE WHERE SHE SAYS "ARE YOU OKAY, NAMI...!I" FUNDAMENTALLY, ROBIN HAS DECIDED TO CALL NAMI BY HER NAME. SHE HAS ALSO STARTED TO CALL THE OTHER MEMBERS BY THEIR NAMES. AFTER THE EVENTS AT ENIES LOBBY, ROBIN HAS TRULY STARTED TO OPEN HER HEART UP TO HER COMRADES. EVEN AS THE STORY GETS LARGER IN SCALE, I WANT TO MAKE THESE SMALL DETAILS IMPORTANT.' Small portraits of a goggled character and a dark-haired woman appear beside the letters.
