Chapter 429: "COMPLETE DEFEAT". A lone figure stands on a barren, cratered surface beneath a star-filled sky. The man has a tall, lean build with a shaved head, bare torso marked by a long vertical scar, and multiple mechanical arms extending from his back. Each arm ends in a large wheel-like structure with circular holes. He wears loose patterned pants, a black sash, and sandals while gripping a long staff. The caption below reads: ENEL'S GREAT SPACE OPERATION VOL. 2: "ARRIVED AT FAIRY VEARTH!"

Marines on a warship spot a ship flying the Straw Hat Jolly Roger. "IT'S A SHIP!!! BASED ON THE FLAG, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SHIP OF THE STRAWHAT!!!" one shouts. Others panic: "WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING!!I THERE'S NO WAY THEY CAN SURVIVE BY JUMPING INTO THE OCEAN...!!" Below, the Going Merry bursts through debris and smoke amid the Marine fleet. "NO, NICO ROBIN IS THERE!!" a Marine yells. "SHALL WE FIRE AT IT!!I" another asks. "HOW DID IT MANAGE TO SNEAK IN AMONG THE FLEET OF WARSHIPS!!I" The ship smashes through wreckage as a large "BHA!!" sound effect erupts.

The Going Merry crashes wildly through the battlefield. "THERE, GET ONBOARD, DF USERS!! NGAGA-GAGA!!" someone shouts. "OWAA-AAH!" a crewmate cries as the ship tilts. "MERRY!!!" Usopp yells. "HURRY!!" Nami calls. "MERRY IS ALIVE!!!" The crew reacts in shock: "WHO STEERED HER HERE!I" "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT... THIS SHIP WAS ALREADY TOSSED OFF INTO THE OCEAN....!!" "WUUO!! I LOVE MERRY AFTER ALL!!" "IT'S MERRY! IT'S MERRY!!" Luffy stands amid the chaos. "THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW!! GIVE US ORDERS, WE NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE!!" Close-ups show Nami's determined face, Robin helping a battered Luffy who coughs "MGU!!" and gasps "BHA!! THAT WAS CLOSE. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GET KILLED BY THE WARSHIPS!!"

The crew rallies on the battered Merry. "LEAVE EVERYTHING TO US!!" someone shouts as Luffy glares forward. "NOW," another voice commands. Robin stands calmly and says, "THANK YOU." The ship rocks violently with massive sound effects. "EVERYONE!!" a voice calls. Luffy lies sprawled on the deck with his feet up, surrounded by the crew. A bottom row of close-ups shows the relieved and grinning faces of the Straw Hats, including Chopper shouting "NYAA!!" and Sanji with a sly "HEE HEE!!"

Luffy grins widely despite his injuries and shouts, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!" A crewmate laughs "SHISHI-SHI!!!" while a bearded man growls, "TALK NONSENSE AFTER WE GET OUT OF HERE!!" Below, Nami stands calmly as Sanji calls out, "OKAAAY, NAMI-SAAAN!!" and pleads, "SANJI-KUN, GO STEER THE SHIP, PLEASE!!" Another voice demands, "APOLOGIZE TO ROBIN-CHAN, PUNK!!!" Zoro snaps back, "SHUT UP!! IF WE DIE HERE, EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR NOTHING!!!" Sanji retorts, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NONSENSE, MARIMOOO!I" In the lower section a large figure yells, "ADMIRAL AOKIJI SAID SO!! (THAT'S A LIE.) ALL SHIPS, PREPARE TO FIRE!!!" and declares, "RATHER THAN LET THEM ESCAPE, BLOW THEM UP ALONG WITH NICO ROBIN!!!" Nearby voices protest, "HEY, HEY... YOU'RE KIDDING ME...!!" and "ARE YOU LETTING THEM ESCAPE JUST LIKE THAT...!!I"

A scarred man in a cap mutters "..." then growls, "JUST DIE, ALL OF YOU!!!" A massive figure laughs, "WAHAHAHA, THAT WAS A BIG FAT LIE. I WON'T LET ANY OF YOU ESCAPE!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Orders ring out: "OKAY!! AIM!!!" and "ALL SHIPS, PREPARE TO FIRE!!!" Someone yells, "ADMIRAL AOKIJI!I" Crew members react in panic as one shouts, "RECEIVE WIND FROM STARBOARD AND STEER TOWARD THE EAST!!!" and "THEY'RE AIMING AT US!!!" A voice cries, "THAT SPANDA BASTARD!! HE'S STILL ALIVE!I" The scene widens to show multiple Marine ships surrounding the Thousand Sunny. A massive impact erupts with the sound effect "ゴゴゴゴゴ" as the crew realizes, "A NUMBER OF CANNONS AIMING AT US, TOO!!!" and "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AWAY NOT TO GET HIT!!!" Someone screams, "NO!! WE'RE BLOCKED!!!"

A terrified crewmate screams "ぎゃああああ" as someone yells, "HERE THEY COME!!!" Cannons roar with "ドドド" and the order "FIRE!!!" Massive explosions erupt across the sea with the sound effects "ボォォォォォォォォォォ!!!" and "ドドドドドドン!!!" The Thousand Sunny is rocked by cannon fire. Voices shout in confusion: "IMPOSSIBLE!! WE'LL CRASH!!!" "AVOID IT!!!" "DON'T MAKE STRANGE EXCUSES!!!" "SOMETHING'S WEIRD!! THE AIM WAS OFF FOR NO REASON, AND...!!!" "WHERE ARE YOU AIMING AT, ALL OF YOU!I" and "THE OTHER CANNON-BALLS AREN'T HITTING US, EITHER!!!" A Marine cries, "F-FRIENDLY FIRE!I" On deck, crew members react with shock as one asks, "WHAT HAPPENEDI IS SOMETHING WRONG!!!I"

A Marine officer shouts, "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGI IDIOTS! WHY DID YOU CLOSE THE GATES!I" The explanation follows: "THE LEVER TO CONTROL THE GATES IS LOCATED AT THE THIRD PROP OF THE BRIDGE OF HESITATION!!!" and "WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING...!!!" The gates of justice have closed, creating whirlpools that disrupt the cannon fire. A voice realizes, "THE GATES BLOCKED THE CURRENT AND CREATED A BUNCH OF WHIRLPOOLS... THEY'RE NOW OVERRIDING OUR STEERING...!!!" and "THE WHIRLPOOLS MESSED UP OUR AIM!!I" Panic spreads as someone yells, "UWAA-AAH!!! WE DIDN'T REALIZE THE GATES OF JUSTICE WERE CLOSED!" Explosions continue with "ドドドドドン!" and "ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ!!!" Sanji is addressed directly while Nami watches the chaos. A crewmate exclaims, "WHOA, THAT WAS MORE THAN WHAT I EXPECTED!!" and another warns, "DON'T BE SWALLOWED UP BY THE CURRENT!!!" Sanji replies, "SANJI!! COULD IT BE...!I THEY'RE NOT THE KIND OF ENEMY WE CAN GET AWAY FROM JUST WITH OUR GUTS, RIGHTI"

Nami snaps at the crew, "SHUT UP, GUYS!" while sweat drops fly. She declares, "THERE'S NO SEA THAT MERRY CAN'T CROSS." The others cheer wildly: "THE WHIRLPOOLS ARE DANGEROUS FOR US, TOO!!" "DON'T BE SO HAPPY, ALL RIGHT!I" "ARE YOU A GENIUS!I" "A-AMAZING, SANJI!!!" and "OH, YEAH!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!" Sanji smirks with an "EH HEE HEE." The Going Merry plunges into massive whirlpools as Nami shouts, "WUUOOO!! THAT'S RIGHT!!! I'M COUNTING ON YOU, NAVIGATOR!" and "JUST HANG IN THERE UNTIL I MANAGE TO READ HOW THE CURRENT FLOWS!!" "SURE THING!!" The ship tilts violently amid the raging waters. Marines on seven warships open fire, yelling "DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY. FIRE!!!" "WE HAVE SEVEN WARSHIPS AND WE CAN'T TAKE OUT ONE TINY SNOTTY SHIP!!I YOU BUNCH OF USELESS CRAP!!!" "KILL THEM!!!" The Straw Hats take hits as crew members scream "GYAA-AAH!" and "WAA-AAH!" while the ship is battered by cannon fire.

Cannon fire rains down as someone yells "WE CAN'T DODGE IT!!!" and "SHIT!!! IT'S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US!!!" Massive explosions erupt with "ドゴォン!!!" and "ボンッ!!!" The ship rocks violently. Luffy's face fills a panel with wide eyes and an open mouth as debris flies. Zoro and Sanji brace themselves amid the chaos. The Going Merry is slammed by another blast marked "ボンッ!!!" and "BOYOOOOON!!" while the crew struggles to keep control. Impact lines and smoke fill the panels as the ship is repeatedly struck.

Sanji and Zoro flash peace signs while a small figure sweats inside a bubble, asking "WHAT ARE YOU!!I DEVILS!!I" Nami stares ahead and states, "I SEE A PATH TO VICTORY...!!" The ship spins through the whirlpool with sound effects "ゴゴゴゴ..." The narration notes the pirate ship heads toward the falls. Chopper yells "CHOPPER, HARD TO PORT!!!" while clinging to the ship. A crew member calls "TOWARD NINE O'CLOCK!!!" Another shouts "GOOD LUCK, REINDEER-CHAAN." and "WUUOH!! I'M USEFUL, TOO!!!" The Going Merry tilts sharply as it fights the current.

Marines panic as the ship speeds through the whirlpools: "THEY'RE MOVING AT A RAPID SPEED!!!" "THEY SEEM TO HAVE CAUGHT THE FLOW OF THE WHIRLPOOLS!!" "ARE YOU IDIOTS!!I" "FIRE!!! FIRRRRE!!! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!!I" with SFX "ズドォン!!" and "ドドドン!!" Robin stands calmly and says, "HOW CAN YOU NOT TAKE JUST ONE WOMAN" while a figure in the background yells "GOOOOO!! KEEP GOING!!!" A marine curses, "EVEN AFTER USING ALL THE WAR FORCE OF BUSTER CALL... DAMN IT!! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL, BASTARDS!!! USING ALL OF ENIES LOBBY..." The ship continues its desperate escape as Aokiji watches with a shocked expression, thinking "FROM THOSE INSIGNIFICANT PIRATES...!!I" amid the roaring currents.

The battle rages as the Straw Hats attempt their escape. A voice warns, "THIS WILL PROBABLY HURT THE SHIP A LITTLE, BUT...!!!" while another states, "THEY CANNOT GET AWAY FROM THE WHIRLPOOL ANYWAY." Franky shouts, "ALL RIGHT!!!" and commands, "FRANKY, YOUR TURN!!" Robin replies tensely, "WAI- D-DON'T... CHIEF." She then activates her power with "CLUTCH"!! A massive explosion erupts as the *SUPER SMOKE STAR* is unleashed, with "VENT"!!! filling the air. Marines panic, yelling "FIRE!!! FIRRRRE!!! DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!!!" and "HISSATSU" "CHO KEMURI-BOSHI"!!!! The Going Merry soars through the sky after flying 10,000 meters, astonishing the fleet: "MERRY FLEW 10,000 METERS INTO THE SKY!!!" "HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE!!I" "TH-THE PIRATE SHIP JUMPED!!!" A Marine cries out, "CHIEF, SIR!!!" as the chaos peaks with "GYAA-AAH!!!"

Marines reel in disbelief. One shouts, "BASTARD...!!!" while another laughs, "WAHA-HAHA!!" The chaos continues with "IMPOSSIBLE. THE WHIRLPOOLS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OVER THE SHIPS. WE'RE BARELY FLOATING!!" and "AFTER THEM!!! WE WON'T LOSE IN SPEED!!" A massive smoke screen deploys as the ships pursue: "IT'S A SMOKE-SCREEN!!" Cannons roar with "FIRE!!! FIRRRE!!!" and massive impacts "ドゴォン!" "ドドドドド!!!" The Going Merry sails onward through turbulent seas, smoke trailing behind as the fleet gives chase.

The crew escapes aboard the Rocketman train. Voices cheer, "BRO'S SAFE, TOO!!!" "WOO HOO!!" "IT SEEMS STRAWHAT-SAN AND THE OTHERS GOT AWAY!!!" The train barrels forward with "WE'RE GONNA HEAD BACK, TOO!!!" A surprised voice exclaims, "I-I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE HERE!!!" as the train speeds on with "GO, GO, PUFFING TOM!!" and "WUUOO-OOH!!" Below, the Marine fleet gathers near a massive tower. A figure on a bicycle watches silently. Marines debate: "WE CAN'T JUST LET THIS END LIKE THIS!!!" "WE'RE STILL GONNA GO AFTER THEM!!!" "THAT FLEET AND THE ISLAND..." "IT'S OBVIOUS JUST BY LOOKING AT" "... NO NEED."

Luffy demands, "WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY!!" The crew discusses their nakama's rescue. One notes, "WE ONLY TOOK BACK OUR NAKAMA" while another adds, "BUT THEN, WHAT YOU GUYS DID WAS REALLY OUTRAGEOUS..." A voice questions, "FIRST OF ALL, HOW CAN YOU SHOOT THE FLAG OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENTI" Chopper thanks everyone: "WE MANAGED TO GET AWAY THANKS TO YOU." "YUP...! THIS IS MY SEAT!!" "THANK YOU, MERRY!!" Aokiji stares coldly as the massive "COMPLETE DEFEAT." text looms. The crew celebrates wildly aboard the Going Merry with "IS OUR VICTORY!!!" "ALL RIIIGHT!!!" and triumphant roars as the ship sails free. Aokiji concludes the fight with "THIS FIGHT DEFEAT."

This is the SBS corner page. A Korean reader named Kimeunhyang writes: "Hello Oda. Are you taking care of yourselfI My name is Kimeunhyang. Recently, One Piece volume 41 was published in Korea too. This is a little sudden, but in the One Piece logo, what is this thing between Luffy's waist and his feetI A skirtI It's not a skirt, rightI I want to know so bad, I can't even sleep." Oda replies with a drawing, explaining: "Ah, thank you. A question From Korea. If you draw the picture, then you should understand. Maybe his hands are a little confusingI" Another reader asks about the frequent use of "Don!" and "Doon!!" sound effects, counting 1469 dons up to chapter 409 and asking if other mangaka use it as much. Oda responds playfully. The final exchange has the reader joking about Oda's free time and Oda replying: "Wait! Let me say something! Just how much free time did you have (lol)I No, but really, thank you. So there were that many scenes! All right, see you next volume!" Small illustrations of Luffy and a chibi character accompany the letters. A note at the bottom states questions from children are printed even if grammar is incorrect.
