The chapter title page displays the bold header "Chapter 583: 'GRAY TERMINAL'". Below it, a vibrant beach scene unfolds under a large parasol labeled "KON KATSU". Young Luffy lounges in a striped chair wearing a tank top that reads "家 募集中" and shorts marked "天才 GEKAI", holding a drink with a wide grin. To his right, Ace sits in another striped chair, sweating and looking annoyed in a tank top and shorts. A blonde figure with a horse-like mask stands behind them, while other characters including a long-haired woman in a bikini and an elephant-masked person appear in the background amid palm trees and hearts.

Young Luffy, straw hat on and face bandaged, glares furiously and shouts, "HATE MOUNTAIN BANDITS!!" Surrounded by grinning bandits, he continues, "I..." In a wooden hut, Dadan yells at the boys while they eat, "IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE HERE, THAT'S FINE BY ME!! GET OUT OF HERE AND GO STARVE TO DEATH!!" A bandit advises, "CALMN DOWN, BOSS." Another retorts, "SHUT IT, YOU DAMN BRAT! LOOKING AFTER YOU IS A PAIN IN THE ASS FOR US TOO!!" Dadan declares the harsh new rules: "SO STARTING TOMORROW, YOU'LL BE WORKING TO DEATH, TOO!! CLEANING, LAUNDRY, SHOE SHINING AND POLISHING WEAPONS! PLUS, THEFT, LOOTING, SWINDLING, AND KILLING!!! THIS MEAT IS ALL FROM A BUFFALO THAT ACE CAUGHT!! HE PUTS A PORTION ON THE TABLE, AND WE DO TOO! TIMES ARE TOUGH FOR BANDITS RIGHT NOW." Luffy protests, "I'M STILL HUNGRY! I WANT SOME MEAT!!" Dadan warns, "AND LISTEN!! DON'T MENTION A WORD OF THIS TO GARP!!"

Dadan snaps, "WHAT THE HELL!I THIS IS WHERE YOU START CRYING!!!" as Luffy storms off. She adds, "IF YOU WANT ANYTHING ELSE, YOU'LL HAVE TO GET IT YOURSELF!! AND DON'T GROW WITHOUT PERMISSION!! THAT'S ALL WE'LL GIVE YOU! ONCE A DAY, YOU'LL GET ONE BOWL OF RICE!! AND ONE CUP OF WATER!!" Luffy yells back, "AND DID YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO BE A PIRATE!I" Ace questions, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING!I" A bandit asks, "HEY... WHERE'S HE GOINGI" Luffy explains, "THERE'S A BUNCH OF STUFF I CAN EAT IN THE FOREST, LIKE EARTHWORMS AND FROGS AND MUSHROOMS. I'M GOING TO BE A PIRATE SOMEDAY!! I'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS MUCH!! GRANDPA USED TO THROW ME INTO THE JUNGLE." The bandits watch him leave, one noting, "JEEZ, LOOK AT HIM, HE'S TOO HARDY!!! THIS IS WHY I HATE GARP'S GRANDKIDS!!!" Another says, "CALM DOWN, BOSS..." Luffy reaches a rundown shack and opens the door with a loud "GACHA!!"

Luffy runs through the forest carrying a stick, shouting, "I'M NOT ANGRY ABOUT YOU SPITTING ON ME ANYMORE!!" Ace, carrying a sword over his shoulder, calls out, "HEY!! I'M LUFFY!!" Luffy replies with "..." while Ace thinks "..." In the woods, Ace yells, "WHERE ARE YOU GOINGI" Luffy responds, "IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, SO LET'S BE FRIENDS!!" Ace explains, "I JUST GOT SOME BOOZE ON ME, IT'S NOT SOMETHING TO GET WORKED UP ABOUT, RIGHTI" Luffy demands, "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!I YOU LOOK SO LAME!!" Suddenly, a massive creature bursts from the trees with a tremendous crash, sending Luffy flying as he screams, "UWAA-AAAHH!!!" Luffy lands in shock, exclaiming, "HMI"

Young Luffy and Ace sprint across a rickety rope bridge spanning a deep ravine in the forest. Footsteps echo as Luffy runs ahead. Suddenly the bridge gives way with a loud crack. Luffy and Ace plummet, screaming. Luffy shouts "GYAAAAA!!" while clinging desperately. Ace yells "AAAAAHHHH!!" as they fall. They land hard on a lower wooden walkway. Luffy pants heavily, "HAA... HAA..." with wide eyes and sweat flying. Ace stands nearby, also breathing hard. Below them the broken bridge section swings and crashes into the rocks with a massive "GYA-AAAA" impact. Luffy stares upward in shock at the destruction.

At the Dadan family hideout, bandits question Ace. One asks "DUNNO. WASN'T LUFFY WITH YOUI WHERE IS HEI" Another presses, "ACE... DID YOU COME BACK ALONEI" Dadan, smoking a cigarette, growls "IF HE REALLY DIED, THEN WE'LL JUST TELL GARP IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN UP ON LOOKING AFTER ACE!" A bandit adds "I DON'T CARE!! IF HE DIES, HE DIES!!" Another warns "IT'S PRETTY BAD THAT WE LOST HIM ON THE FIRST DAY, BOSS!!" Dadan snaps "THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY BAD WEEDS GROW FASTEST!" One week later, bandits rush in shouting "BOSS!! BOSS DADAN!!" Ace stands silently with arms crossed, thinking "HE'S THE SON OF A DEMON, YOU KNOW!!I IF THE GOVERNMENT EVER FOUND OUT..." while a bandit urges "CALM DOWN, BOSS... WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN TO US!!I"

Luffy bursts in dramatically, covered in injuries. Dadan yells "HE WAS... STILL ALIVE!!I WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO!!I" while another bandit cries "LUFFY CAME BACK!!!" Luffy explains he was chased by wolves at the bottom of the valley. Dadan demands "WHERE WERE YOU, AND WHAT WERE YOU DOINGI THE VALLEY FLOOR!I WHY WERE YOU DOWN THERE!I" Luffy replies he was just sleeping. The next day Luffy begs Ace "LET'S BE FRIENDS!! TAKE ME TOO!!" while chasing him outside the hideout. Ace walks away silently as birds fly past the wooden building.

Dadan and the bandits shout after the boys: "HEY, LUFFY!! YOU'VE GOT CHORES TO DO!!! THAT DAMN KID WON'T LISTEN TO A WORD I SAY!! BOSS!! HE'S GOING AFTER ACE AGAIN!!" Ace runs ahead yelling "I'M NOT LOSING YOU TODAY!!" while Luffy chases. Over the following days Luffy keeps losing Ace in the wilderness. On the eighth day Luffy faces a giant horned beast in the river. By the tenth day he battles a massive serpent in the rocky terrain. Luffy keeps getting battered but refuses to give up, shouting in frustration as he tumbles through the landscape.

Time passes as Luffy trails after Ace through harsh conditions. Narration reads: "One month, two months... On rainy days and windy days... Luffy kept on following Ace. He pushed on, despite his injuries. And after three months..." Exhausted and battered, Luffy finally emerges from the forest, gasping, "AH... I'M OUT OF THE FOREST..." "HAA..." "HAA..." Ace stands ahead, glaring back with a fierce expression as Luffy collapses to his knees, sweat and fatigue visible.

The boys reach a vast, filthy dump site north of the Dadan family’s base past Mt. Colubo. Narration states: "A foul stench always hangs in the air here. It is filled with mountains of garbage. Fires started by the sun spew smoke. This is... Gray Terminal. Of course, this place is lawless... With no doctors, crimes and diseases are rampant. It's a murder!! as well as people. Things... Unwanted things are collected here." Luffy arrives panting, "HAA... HAA... KOKO KOKO" and shouts, "OOHH!! THIS PLACE STINKS!" Ace yells, "SABO, YOU HERE!I SABO!!" Sabo replies, "ACE. OHH... SORRY I'M LATE." Luffy grins, "I SEE. WELL, SO DID I!!" while a large man in the trash scowls, "HE WENT THAT WAY!!" "OHH... MOVE IT, BRAT..."

Sabo sits atop the garbage heap in his tall hat and goggles, proudly displaying a thick wad of cash. He declares, "UWAH!! WOW!! THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN MINE!! HOW DID YOU GET THIS MUCH MONEY!I" Ace and Luffy react with shock. Sabo explains, "I STOLE IT FROM SOME PUNKS!! MAYBE THEY WERE CARRYING IT FOR SOME MERCHANT SHIPS." A caption identifies him: "Sabo (Ten years old) A boy who lives in Gray Terminal." The boys discuss their savings: "IT'S ALREADY BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE WE STARTED SAVING. IT'S BEEN TOUGH GOING." "DOES IT REALLY MATTERI WE'RE GOING TO USE IT TO BUY A PIRATE SHIP SOMEDAY." "DUNNO... TEN MILLION, OR A HUNDRED MILLION... WE'VE STILL GOT A LONG WAY TO GO..." "SHUT IT, QUICK. SOMEONE MIGHT SEE IT..." "YEAH, I WONDER HOW MUCH IT TAKES TO BUY A PIRATE SHIP..."

Luffy bursts out from hiding, eyes wide, "A PIRATE SHIP!!!" Sabo and Ace whirl around in alarm. Luffy shouts, "ARE YOU GUYS GONNA BE PIRATES!I SO AM I!!!" Ace growls, "SO YOU FINALLY FOLLOWED ME ALL THE WAY OUT HEREI I TOOK PATHS THAT WERE HARDLY USED, TOO..." Sabo asks, "IS THIS THAT LUFFY GUY YOU TOLD ME ABOUTI ACE, YOU COME OUT HERE EVERY DAYI" Ace snaps, "SHUT IT." The boys argue about the secret: "HE FOUND OUT ABOUT OUR SECRET... IF WE LEAVE HIM ALONE, HE'LL TELL SOMEONE..." "THIS IS WHY I TOLD YOU TO STAY HERE TOO!! THAT MOUNTAIN TRAINING YOU DO REALLY BACKFIRED! WHAT DO WE DOI" Luffy pleads, "BE MY FRIEND TOO! ARE YOU ACE'S FRIENDI" while Ace and Sabo both yell, "SHUT IT."

In the Gray Terminal, young Sabo and Ace stand over a bound figure as an explosion erupts behind them. Sabo shouts, "YEAH, LET'S DO IT." Ace replies grimly, "LET'S KILL HIM." The bound man panics, screaming "EHHHHHHHHH!!I" and "WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUTI YOU DO IT!! I'VE NEVER KILLED ANYONE BEFORE!! NEITHER HAVE I!! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT!" Sabo yells back, "SABO! KILL HIM ALREADY!!" The captive begs, "I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE GOING TO KILL ME!!! HELP ME!!! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" Ace snaps, "SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT!!" Below, the boys struggle with ropes as Sabo cries, "QUICK, UNDO THE ROPE!! IF WE DON'T GET OUT OF HERE, THEY'RE GONNA FIND OUR TREASURE!!" Someone shouts, "CRAP, SOMEONE'S COMING!!" A voice adds, "I HEARD VOICES FROM THE FOREST!! SOUNDS LIKE KIDS..." The captive screams "HELP ME!!!" and Ace roars "SHUT UP!!!"

A towering pirate with wild hair and a massive curved sword looms over the scene. He scratches his head, saying, "YES... IT'S PATHETIC, BUT I WAS CARELESS, IT WAS DEFINITELY ACE THAT STOLE YOUR MONEY!!" The spiky-haired subordinate sweats as the large pirate continues, "I'M AMAZED THIS KID WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO GO AFTER OUR PIRATE CREW'S MONEY!!" A sign identifies him as "Bluejam Pirates, crew member Porshemi." The pirate warns, "IF CAPTAIN BLUEJAM HEARS ABOUT THIS... WE'RE BOTH DEAD!!" He adds, "HE SCALPS HIS DEFEATED OPPONENTS WHILE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE!! HE'S GOT A REAL SWORD! THAT'S ONE OF THE SUBORDINATES, PORSHEMI. HE'S CRAZY, YOU KNOW!I" Sabo and Ace react in terror: "CRAP, THAT GUY WAS WITH BLUEJAMI THIS IS BAD, WE STOLE FROM HIM!!"

Luffy gasps "AH!" while hiding in bushes with Sabo, who asks "HUHI WHERE IS HEI" The captive pirate yells "HELP ME, ACE!!!" Luffy freezes, thinking "THAT IDIOT SAID MY NAME!!" The large pirate grabs the bound man and demands "HOW DID HE GET CAPTURED!!I WHO'S THIS KIDI" while swinging his sword, "LEMME GO!! YOU BASTARD!!" In the forest clearing, Luffy shouts desperately, "HE'S MY FRIEND!!" The pirate turns and asks, "YOU... KNOW ACEI DID YOU JUST SAY ACEI" Luffy answers, "AH... HE WAS ABOUT TO KILL ME, THOUGH..."

The boys hide as the pirate questions Luffy. Luffy sweats heavily while the pirate presses, "LEMME ASK YOU SOMETHING. TODAY, ACE... STOLE SOME OF OUR MONEY AND RAN..." Luffy stammers, "I... I DUNNO." The pirate's face twists in rage as he roars, "HE'S SUCH A BAD LIAR!!!" Luffy panics, thinking "THIS IS BAD... THEY'RE GONNA TAKE ALL THE TREASURE!! THAT IDIOT BETTER NOT SAY ANYTHING!!" The pirate threatens, "WHATI HEY!! LEMME GO!! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME!I DAMN IT!!!" while the subordinate warns, "DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT!! KUKUKUKU!! WE'LL JOG YOUR MEMORY." The pirate adds menacingly, "ALL RIGHT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW..."

The SBS page opens with a small comic panel showing Luffy in his straw hat being struck amid flying bones and impact effects, alongside a tall pirate in a bicorne hat marked "エース" and another figure with a skull. A fan letter reads: "Odacchi!! I noticed something amazing!! The devil Fruits the Strawhat Pirate members have eaten correspond to numbers from 1-10!! LUFFY - gomu gomu (5.6.5.6.), Chopper - hito hito (1.10.1.10.), Robin - hana hana (8.7.8.7.), Brook - yomi yomi (4.3.4.3.). So that's (1.3.4.5.6.7.8.10), but (2.9) aren't there. So could Bartholomew Bear, who ate the niku niku Fruit (2.9.2.9), be joining the crewI Please tell me!!" Signed "Shanks' Love". Oda replies in shock: "WHAAAA!! Man, I'm surprised!! In what way am I surprised!I NO COMMENT!!! NEXT!!" Another letter states: "My letter is Pine, you can look at another one." -Akira. Oda answers: "Ah... right. That's really... nice of you. Well then, I'll go ahead... WHY DID YOU EVEN SEND THAT!!I (I have no maturity)" A third letter discusses a male eel turning female from hormones and asks about Emporio Woman Hormones, signed "Newkama". Oda confirms: "There's no mistaking it. Those are Emporio Woman Hormones. Some day, science will be able to make eels enter a high tension state as well! Or so I think. Hiihaa!! I want to eat that eel!!" The page ends with a note that the voice actor SBS is skipped this time due to circumstances, promising it for the next volume, and credits Robin's voice to Ms. Yamaguchi Mariko and Franky's voice to Yao Kazuki.
