SERENADE

A Shandian warrior with feathered headdress draws a bow and shouts, "YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID WIPER!" Other Shandian fighters with spears and a trident stand ready in the upper panel. Below, a giant striped snake rears up among ancient ruins, hissing "MEEH ~~~!!!" and "MEEH!!!" while Shandians on the crumbling walls react. Two defeated figures lie face-down in the dirt with impact effects "バン!!" and "レ!!".

A bald winged man with a large mace counts the fighters: "IN THESE UPPER RUINS, THERE ARE FOUR HOLY GUARDS... PLUS THOSE TWO WHO ARE PROBABLY NOT DEAD YET..." and "FOUR SHANDIAN WARRIORS, ONE INTRUDER FROM THE BLUE SEA... THAT MAKES TEN FIGHTERS AND TWO ANIMALS. TO THOSE WE ADD A GIANT SNAKE AND HOLY..." A feathered warrior attacks with "DIE, OHM!!!" and motion lines. The winged man swings his weapon. A small winged dog-like creature says "ACK...!!!" and "FWAP", then later "WOOF!" while the bald man declares "IT'S TIME FOR THE APOTHEOSIS. LET'S DO THAT MOVE, HOLY."

The small winged dog creature named Holy charges forward with fierce expression, shouting "NOW, 'DASH'!!!" and "WOOF!!!". Massive impact effects explode around it as it rams into a Shandian warrior, sending debris flying with "スルルル" and "バン" sounds. The warrior is knocked back. In a wide panel, Holy runs at full speed leaving a trail of "ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF!" and "WOOF!" while motion lines emphasize its speed.

Explosions and impact lines erupt across the top panels as two men react in shock. One stares with wide eyes and a sweat drop, exclaiming "...!I" while the long-haired man in the headband glares forward with a fierce expression marked by a large "!". Massive SFX "ドン!!" and "ボン!!" shake the frames. Below, a colossal serpentine form coils and thrashes across the ruined landscape, its body crushing fences and ruins amid clouds of dust and the repeated SFX "ボボボボボ". In the bottom tier, the laughing man with goggles throws his head back, shouting "HAHA! YOU ARE NOW TRAPPED" and "IN THE REAL TRIAL OF IRON!" as metal spikes and chains snap into place with loud "ギチン!!" and "ギチン!ギチン!ギチン!" sounds. The headband man demands "WHAT'S GOING ON!I" while a robed figure in the background yells "DAMN IT! WHAT IS THAT DOG DOING...!I" amid the chaos of the closing iron cage.

The massive barbed-wire dome slams shut with a thunderous "ドーン" as the narration declares "THE WHITE THORN DEATH-MATCH!!!". The enormous snake-like beast coils tightly around the arena, its body forming the deadly enclosure while crowds watch from the edges. Inside the cage, the short-haired fighter crouches low on all fours, sweat flying, as he growls "MEEEH~~~~!! YOU FOOL! THIS ISN'T JUST TO PREVENT ESCAPE!! THIS CAGE IS MADE OF BARBED WIRE!!" A voice replies "IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GOING TO RUN AWAY..." while another states "COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY...". The fighter's tense posture and the surrounding wreckage emphasize the lethal nature of the closing trap.

The barbed cage erupts in violent motion as the snake thrashes, sending the horned figure flying with a pained "ARGH!!!" and impact SFX "バキン!バキン!". A winged, masked fighter is hurled backward, exclaiming "HUHI" while thinking "IN OTHER WORDS...". Below, the long-haired fighter with a bare torso is slammed against a pillar, bloodied and muttering "IT'S BETTER TO AVOID..." as a small creature is projected outward. Nearby, a goggled man with a sword on his back stands tense, sweat visible, thinking "THINK ABOUT IT AFTER YOU'VE ELIMINATED ME!" and "DON'T BE IN A HURRY, MY FRIEND...". A dinosaur-like creature nearby cries "TSULA!" while the goggled man questions "THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO I GET OUT AFTER I DEFEAT EVERYONE!I" amid heavy motion lines and debris.

The giant snake rears up with a massive "ドドドドン" as the narration notes "EIGHT MEN AND TWO ANIMALS REMAINING...". The goggled swordsman stands ready with his blade drawn, facing the towering beast and a tall braided fighter holding a massive weapon. In the lower panels, the short-haired fighter lies collapsed, whispering "LAKI..." while a distant figure runs across the open ground. A voice calls "THANK GOD I FOUND YOU!" as another pants "HAA... HAA...". The tall braided fighter turns sharply, shouting "WIPER!!!" with intense focus, the ruined cityscape and wire dome visible behind them.

Behind a barbed-wire fence, a man with a weapon stares in shock. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!I" he shouts. In the next panel a fierce woman with long dark hair yells desperately, "WIPER! LISTEN TO ME!!!" A massive impact sends figures flying through the air amid debris and broken stone structures; one man with goggles reacts with "OH!I" while large SFX "ガチャーン" and "ドン" mark the crash. Below, the woman continues shouting at the fenced man: "HUHI WHAT DID YOU SAYI" "GET AWAY!!!" "DON'T COME CLOSER! GET AWAY FROM HERE!" A wounded warrior cries "LAKI....!!" The woman presses on, "KAMAKIRI IS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND HE CHARGED ME TO TELL YOU... ENEL IS IN THE FOREST!!!"

A close-up reveals Wiper's intense face under his headband as he reacts, "CALLED!!I" "YOU". Nearby, a sweating eye shows fear while a tall figure with large headphones stands before a crowd behind a fence; a voice whispers "ENEL...". Suddenly a violent clash erupts with massive SFX "ギャギャン!!!! ガチャン" as weapons clash. Someone screams "WAIT, ENEL! DON'T DO THAT!!!" while another voice cries "SHE'S GIVING UP THE FIGHT!!" and small SFX "ドドド..." echo the struggle.

Laki urges two distant figures, "JUST RUN!!" as SFX "ビクン!! ドクン..." shake the ground. Wiper roars at her, "LAKI! DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!" while a voice taunts, "FOOL~~~~!! DON'T EXPECT TO SURVIVE IF YOU'RE WORRYING ABOUT OTHERS ~~~~!!!!" and "LAKI!!". A panel shows Enel on the ground with the narration "HE'S INVINCIBLE!!!". Laki sweats in fear holding her weapon. Wiper, bloodied and furious, glares as Laki pleads, "WIPER! YOU FOOL!" The taunt continues, "A GOOD SHANDIAN IS A DEAD SHANDIAN, WIPER!" with SFX "ズバァーン!!" and a final "MEEH ~~~~!!!" as a figure is hurled into the fence.

A massive impact cracks the sky with huge SFX "バリィッ...!!!!" and "!!!" as two tiny figures stand amid the destruction. The headphone-wearing warrior gestures wildly while smoke rises. A sweating profile shows gritted teeth. In close-up Enel grins beneath his mask, declaring "YAHHAHAHAHA!!!" with SFX "ギャギャン...!!" as a small figure is struck. Another panel shows the same man smirking, "YAHA HA..." while a voice box reads "ENEL...".

A small winged figure is struck hard, crying "GWAP" and "EHI MEEH~!I" while dangling from a chain-link fence. Nearby, a goggled fighter stares in shock: "EH~ WHY DIDN'T HE FALL DOWN!I" and "SO THAT'S GOD...!I" The long-haired warrior with a serene smile declares, "ALRIGHT THEN! LET'S ATTACK HIM ONCE MORE! MEEH~!" A massive impact follows as the attacker is slammed into the fence amid explosive motion lines and a scream of "AAAAAAAH!!" In the aftermath, the long-haired man, identified as Wiper in dialogue, stands calmly and states, "I MAKE NO DISTINCTIONS AMONG THE WARRIOR LAMBS WHO ATTACK ME, BE IT A WOMAN OR A MAN. YOU ARE MORE NAIVE THAN I'D HAVE THOUGHT, WIPER..."

Enel turns away with a faint smile, saying "WELL THEN, TAKE CARE..." as lightning cracks across the sky with "KZZM!" and distant laughter echoes "YAHA HAHA HAHA!!!" Below, a cloaked swordsman watches the ruins and mutters "HOW TERRIFYING... ALMIGHTY GOD SURE IS FRIGHTENING!" while gripping his blade. Wiper, sweating and determined, grips his weapon and growls, "THE SNAKE... I'VE GOT SOME BUSINESS TO DO WITH YOUR STOMACH!" A bald, muscular man with a stern glare stands ready nearby as impact sounds "ドゴォーン..." and "ゴゴオーン" rumble through the scene.

A gigantic serpent rears up with a deafening "ズドン ダン!!!!" as fighters are hurled aside. Wiper is knocked back with a startled "!!!" while the snake lunges. The bald warrior shouts "HOLY! ATTACK!" as a massive explosion erupts with "ドン!!!!" and debris flies. In the chaos, a winged fighter is sent flying, yelling "OUT OF MY WAY!!!" while swinging a weapon with "FWISH" and "KZZM" effects amid streaking motion lines.

A fierce dog-like beast lunges with "WOOF!!!" and "PWOOF", biting down as a fighter cries "GWAAH!!!" amid swirling impact lines. Wiper reacts with wide eyes and a sharp "!" as the attacker is hurled through the air with "Ehh...!!" A final brutal strike lands with heavy "ドン" and "ガッ" sound effects, sending the winged combatant crashing down in a cloud of debris and motion lines.

A warrior with a large axe-like weapon leaps forward shouting "AXE DIAL"!!! as impact lines explode around him. Below, a massive impact strikes a huge snake-like creature, sending debris flying while a small animal cries "MEEH~!!!". In the aftermath, a group of survivors stands amid the wreckage. One man yells, "AND TWO ANIMALS REMAINING!" Another states, "ONLY SIX MEN." The battered fighters, including a goggled man and a bald warrior, catch their breath as the dust settles.

Inside the dark, fleshy interior of the giant snake, Nami clutches her head and groans "OUCH...!!!" and "OW~...!!!" while sweat drips down her face. A spotted snake-like creature nearby cries "PIEEH!!!". Wiper stands with his spear, noting "IT SEEMS WE'VE BEEN SWALLOWED ALIVE... WE ARE IN ITS STOMACH...". Nami asks "AISA... ARE YOU OKAY!I" as the little girl replies weakly. The group debates their situation: "WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY ON THE SHIP...I" "I HOPE MY WAVER ISN'T BROKEN." "HELLOOO!I HE JUST SAID INSIDE THE SNAKE'S STOMACH... WHERE... WHERE IS THIS PLACEI"

The group argues inside the stomach. Someone snaps "DON'T BE STUPID!!!" while another suggests "I WONDER IF I COULD DIG A HOLE THROUGH THIS STOMACH WALL." Nami retorts "CALM DOWN AND SHOW SOME RESPECT! I... I'LL DESTROY YOU!!" as Luffy suddenly bursts in with a loud "うおおおおおお" and a massive impact effect "ビバビバビバ!!!". Luffy yells "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THIS MAGIC CAVE!!!I" while Nami stares in shock, sweatdropping, and cries "LUFFY!!!" as the cave walls tremble.
