Egg Defense

In a vibrant color spread under a bright blue sky with cacti, a small church, and white doves flying, Red-Haired Shanks stands triumphantly in the center. He raises a newspaper high with one hand, head tilted back in laughter, his black cape billowing and rose-patterned pants visible. To his left, a mustached man with long dark hair stands with arms crossed, smiling. To his right, a red-haired man in a suit grins. Confetti and sparkles fill the air around the triumphant pose.

A dramatic color illustration shows the skeleton musician Brook striking a powerful pose. He wears a large green crown-like hat and grips a flaming cane sword with skeletal hands, his afro visible beneath the brim. Blue energy effects and sparkles radiate around him against a dynamic background, with the name 'Brook' prominently displayed in stylized letters and 'RODRIGO' in the corner.

The battle rages on the outskirts of Sweet City as Big Mom's army continues its relentless attack amid explosions and flying debris. Nami stands with a determined expression, saying, "I GOT CARELESS FOR A MOMENT THERE... WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THIS LITTLE GIRL..." Luffy appears beside her with a fierce grin, shouting "NAMI!" Nami continues, "I CAN'T MAKE SUCH A HUGE THUNDERCLOUD BY MYSELF, BUT... I'M MORE THAN CAPABLE OF MANIPULATING THE THUNDERCLOUDS CREATED BY BIG MOM...!" In the next panel, she raises her hand as lightning strikes dramatically around her and an opponent, with the narration noting she "WAS CAPABLE OF BRINGING DOWN SUCH A RIDICULOUSLY HUGE LIGHTNING BOLT." Sound effects like ドン!! and ビリビリ punctuate the fierce clash, while the opponent reacts with "UHH..." and "GLENCH" as Nami shouts "HAAH".

A massive fish-like creature with jagged teeth lunges forward while a woman with long hair holds a sword and speaks calmly. "MEITO:" appears above her. An off-panel voice pleads desperately, "WAIT JUST A MINUTE-JU! WE DIDN'T BETRAY YOU....! LADY AMANDE, PLEASE!" Another voice calls out "SHIRAUO." The sword is labeled "T/N: MEITO - FAMOUS SWORD. SHIRAUO: WHITE FISH." The creature screams in agony as multiple "SAW SAW SAW" sound effects ring out. "SLOW BALLAD!" is declared. The beast writhes, crying "GYAAA AAHHH! AAAH! IT HURTS! IT HUUR-RAAHGH!" A stern-faced man with a scar declares, "I'LL KILL YOU AT THE MOST PAINFUL AND AGONIZING SPEED POSSIBLE...! IF I WERE TO CUT YOU DOWN IN AN INSTANT, THERE'D BE NO MEANING IN KILLING YOU TO BEGIN WITH...!" The creature continues shrieking "IT HURRDS!!! HUHHY ADD GHILL BEE...!!!"

A laughing woman shouts "HAHAHA HAHA!!" while a flamboyant figure on a winged horse-like creature taunts, "ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME, STRAW HATI! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO GO TOE-TO-TOE WITH BIG BRO CRACKER OVER THE COURSE OF AN ENTIRE NIGHT! THE CHESS BARBARIAN ARMY ARE FAR FROM PUSHOVERS! WE'LL CRUSH YOU LIKE THE PIECE OF TRASH YOU ARE!" Luffy stares in shock, eyes wide, reacting with "LUFFY!!!" and "WHEEZE... WHEEZE..." The massive wave creature is labeled "CREAM MONSTER!" as it crashes forward, sending soldiers in checkered uniforms flying amid debris and impact effects.

The cream monster continues its assault with "FAA FAA FAA!" and "OF MY FRESH CREAM-FAA!" while declaring "THAT'S THE POWER OF 'SWEET-NESS'..." Luffy is slammed repeatedly, crying "OW OW OW! UWAAA AAAHH!" The monster threatens, "IT'LL SIMPLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS CHARRED TO A CRISP! YOU LITTLE...!!! IF I ADD A LITTLE 'SWEETNESS' TO MY SWEET FRESH CREAM..." Luffy is hurled through the air. The scene shifts dramatically to a giant ornate room filled with floating books, clocks, and a skull-faced figure as Luffy lands hard, exclaiming "WHAI!"

Luffy tumbles through the bizarre space, shouting "AHAHAHA!" and "WHERE THE HELL AM II!" while gasping for breath. A massive figure with a wide grin and striped outfit appears, declaring "THE WORLD OF 'BOOKS'!" with dramatic "SHING!" effects. Luffy runs down a corridor past small rabbit-like figures as "SSSS!" sounds echo. The environment warps with burning portraits and swirling "SSSS!" "WHOOSH" "WHHHSS" effects. Nami appears in the chaos, calling out "WATCH OUT! NAMII!" and "LUFFY! DODGE!" as Luffy reacts with surprise.

Luffy reels from a massive blow, bloodied and dazed as a giant creature looms behind him. "CREEEEEEEAM!" echoes as the beast attacks. In a blur of motion, a powerful fist slams forward with an enormous "PUNCH!" impact that shakes the panel. "LUFFYYYY!" cries a voice in alarm. The strike sends Luffy flying amid debris and shockwaves. Later panels show the aftermath: a massive explosion labeled "SYLASH" erupts as Luffy crashes down. Nearby, a long-haired woman stares in shock while Luffy, battered and smoking, glares back with gritted teeth.

King Baum crashes through the ruined landscape as a sword lies abandoned in the mud. "KING BAUM!" A woman with long hair slips and falls, "SLIP". SFX: RUSTLE RUSTLE. She clutches herself and exclaims, "NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU ALSO SOMEHOW MANAGED TO ESCAPE FROM THE LOST FOREST... IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THAT!" Another figure adds, "SINCE THEY'RE HOMIES, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE REASON... WHY THE CHESS BARBARIAN ARMY WASN'T ABLE TO FIGHT AS THEY NORMALLY WOULD..." The woman rips free with "RIP!" and "AH!" A voice demands, "HOW DID SOMEONE LIKE YOU GET THEIR HANDS ON MAMA'S VIVRE CARDI!" The reply comes: "FINALLY, IT ALL MAKES SENSE!"

Shocked pirates react wildly. "WHAT WERE HER LAST WORDSI!" "HOLY CRAP! DID THAT LITTLE RUNAWAY GET HERSELF KILLEDI!" "THEY STOLE IT FROM HER!" "LOLAI!" A close-up reveals a card with "LOLA" written on it. A woman with a cigarette states, "IT TRULY IS A SHAME, BUT OUR ORDERS WERE TO CAPTURE YOU ALIVE SO... MOVE IT!" "WE MUST TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH MAMA." "IT SEEMS..." The long-haired woman protests desperately, "NO, YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG! SHE'S OUR FRIEND! IT WAS A GIFT FROM HER!" "AAAH... HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN! ALMOST THE ENTIRE CHESS ARMY GOT TAKEN OUT!" In the chaos, a round figure is grabbed with "GRAB" and "HMI" while declaring, "RIGHT HERE...! I'M STAYING..."

At Whole Cake Chateau, a man with curly eyebrows asks, "SURE, WHY NOTI" A close-up shows Sanji's intense face as he declares, "YEAH~! I'M DEAD SERIOUS! YOU'RE SERIOUSI!" "HUH...I!" Big Mom sits on her throne, laughing with musical notes as she booms, "YOU HAVE MOMMA'S WORD! S'LONG AS IT'S WITHIN REASON, I'M A WOMAN WHO'S MORE THAN WILLING TO LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS GOT TO SAY! I'LL LET YOUR CURRENT COMRADES, THE STRAW HAT CREW, LEAVE THIS ISLAND ALIVE! EVERY LAST ONE OF 'EM!" She adds, "IF YOU'VE FINALLY DECIDED TO SETTLE DOWN AND GET MARRIED WITHOUT PUTTIN' UP A FUSS, AND WON'T TRY TO RUN AWAY FROM HERE, I GOT NO PROBLEM CLOSING MY EYES TO A FEW THINGS HERE AND THERE!"

Big Mom looms over Sanji with a massive grin, laughing uproariously. "SO YOU'VE REALLY FALLEN FOR MY DAUGHTER, HAVEN'T YOUI THAT'S WONDERFUL TO HEAR! HAAAH AHAHA! OOH!" Sanji, blushing and flustered, replies earnestly, "I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!...I PROMISE, I'LL MAKE PUDDING THE HAPPIEST GIRL ALIVE!" Big Mom then rants about the Straw Hats' offenses: "DESTROYING THE SEDUCING WOODS... TAKING DOWN ONE OF MY SWEET COMMANDERS... AND MOREOVER...! ON TOP OF ALL THAT, HAVING THE NERVE TO EAT MY CANDY ON FISH-MAN ISLAND! SAYING THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH ME WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT! BUT LET ME JUST BE CRYSTAL CLEAR ABOUT ONE THING... WHAT THOSE DAMN STRAW HATS DID TO ME... UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I'D MAKE 'EM PAY DEARLY, UNDERSTANDI!" She leans in close, declaring the wedding will proceed: "SO LONG AS YOU DON'T TRY ANY FUNNY BUSINESS, EVERYTHING WILL FALL INTO PLACE PERFECTLY, SANJI ♡ DEEEELICIOUS WEDDING CAKE TOGETHER WITH EVERYONE! BUT AS THINGS STAND NOW, YOUR AND PUDDING'S MARRIAGE IS MY TOP PRIORITY! IF ALL PROCEEDS ACCORDING TO PLAN, BY THIS TIME TOMORROW... I WILL ACQUIRE GERMA'S MILITARY MIGHT, AND EAT..." Sanji looks down and mutters, "...YEAH."

In a grand hall labeled "INSIDE WHOLE CAKE CHATEAU: THE ROOM OF OFFERINGS," Big Mom's crew discusses ancient texts. A figure exclaims about the Road Poneglyphs: "THOSE RED STONES... THE 'ROAD PONEGLYPHS' ARE ABSOLUTELY NEEDED! HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO GO TO RAFTEL, THE FINAL ISLAND..." Another states, "THE PONEGLYPHS! IT IS SAID THAT APPROXIMATELY THIRTY OF THEM EXIST IN ALL-BON! THOSE UNBREAKABLE OBELISK TEXTS WHICH HAVEN'T CRUMBLED EVEN OVER THE COURSE OF HUNDREDS OF YEARS... IN ALL THE WORLD..." Lord Smoothie is addressed as the group reveals their haul: "I PICKED IT UP ALONG THE WAY. I BROUGHT YA A PRESENT! INCLUDING THE STONE THAT JINBE BROUGHT TO US THE OTHER DAY. I HELPED TOO!" They tally, "FOR A TOTAL OF THREE STONES, VOUS PLAIT! TWO PONEGLYPHS, AND ONE ROAD PONEGLYPH! OUR BIG MOM PIRATE CREW NOW OWNS..." A massive impact sound erupts as the tall figure declares, "AND THERE, THOSE STONES WILL IMPART UNTO US THE TRUTH OF THIS WORLD-SOIR! BEFORE LONG, WE WILL BE LED TO THE FINAL ISLAND, RAFTEL, BUT ONLY NINE HOLD THE CRUCIAL INFORMATION WE NEED!"

Charlotte Smoothie towers over the scene in the opulent room. A woman protests, "I STILL SEE WHY WE HAD TO INCREASE OUR SECURITY DETAIL LIKE THIS, TAMAGO...I" while another voice cries out in distress, "AAAAA AAHHH HHH~♡" Smoothie responds calmly, "I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT, BUT..." A box identifies her: "14TH DAUGHTER OF THE CHARLOTTE FAMILY CHARLOTTE SMOOTHIE BOUNTY: 932,000,000" and notes "BIG MOM PIRATES THREE SWEET COMMANDERS (MINISTER OF JUICE)". She continues, "AT ANY RATE, I'M FREE UNTIL THE TEA PARTY BEGINS, SO I DON'T MIND ACCOMPANYING YOU FOR SECURITY DUTY..." A defeated figure lies on the floor as Smoothie concludes, "I AM IN YOUR DEBT, RENAISSANCE."

Big Mom's subordinates discuss an intruder. One states, "IT WOULD APPEAR THAT, AS WE SPEAK... HE HAS INFILTRATED THIS ISLAND ONCE MORE, SOUFFLE. IT'S BEEN ABOUT FIVE YEARS SINCE THAT MAN APPEARED ON THIS ISLAND... THE FORMER PIRATE CAPTAIN AND 'PONEGLYPH THIEF' OF THE MINK TRIBE... BACK THEN, HIS LIFE WAS SPARED THANKS IN NO SMALL PART TO PEKOMS' APPEAL." A close-up reveals a spotted mink's furious face as someone shouts, "PEDRO!" Another voice challenges, "WHY WOULD YOU DARE CHALLENGE US ONCE MORE..." The group resolves, "FOR MAMA'S SAKE, WE PUT OUR VERY LIVES AT RISK... THEY ARE PRECIOUS ARTICLES OF SUCH HIGH IMPORTANCE THAT FELLOW YONKO WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO STEAL THEM FROM ONE ANOTHER-BON! ARE, SO TO SPEAK, THE PATH TO BECOMING PIRATE KING! AT ANY RATE, THOSE RED STONES...THE 'ROAD PONEGLYPHS', TO KEEP THIS 'TRUMP CARD' IN OUR GRASP AT ALL COSTS!"

Inside the Whole Cake Chateau's alcohol storehouse, Baron Tamago and Pedro assess their dire situation. A smoky skull-shaped figure warns, "THERE'S MORE GUARDSI!" Baron Tamago exclaims, "SWEET COMMANDERI! THAT'S ONE OF THEIR TOP BRASS...!" Tamago's narration box reads: "IT WOULD APPEAR THAT OUR SLIVER OF HOPE HAS COMPLETELY VANISHED!! NOW THAT TAMAGO HAS BECOME AWARE OF MY PRESENCE..." Pedro replies grimly, "THE SITUATION HAS TURNED HOPELESS! THEY STRENGTHENED THEIR SECURITY DETAIL AND MADE IT IMPENETRABLE AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME! EVEN IF WE WERE TO APPROACH IN THE DARK OF NIGHT, WE WOULDN'T HAVE SO MUCH AS A SINGLE SECOND TO FIND AN OPENING..." Tamago adds, "EVEN LUFFY AND COMPANY ARE HAVING A ROUGH GO OF THINGS... WHAT CAN THE TWO OF US POSSIBLY... IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I'D LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN TO SMOOTHLY WRAP UP THE MISSION AND PULL OUT OF HERE..."

The minks continue their tense discussion. Pedro states, "WE WOULD HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FIGHT OUR WAY IN FROM THE FRONT. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, THERE'S SIMPLY NO WAY WE'D BE ABLE TO REACH THIS POINT WITH THE ENTIRE CREW..." Tamago counters, "BETTER YET, IF WE SERIOUSLY WERE TO ATTEMPT TO RETURN, THE ROAD PONEGLYPHS WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!...HOWEVER, RETURNING TO THIS ISLAND A SECOND TIME... WOULD BE A NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE UNDERTAKING! THAT MUCH IS CERTAIN..." A cloaked figure appears, declaring "IT'S ME." Tamago asks, "WHO IS BARON TAMAGO'S TARGETI" Pedro responds, "IF THE TWO OF US WERE TO RAID THE BUILDING, IT WOULD CERTAINLY SPELL OUR DEMISE!...THIS VERY MOMENT IS A RARE AND UNIQUE CHANCE, AND IT MAY BE OUR ONLY ONE!" Tamago realizes, "I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING....WHAT A COINCIDENCE." He then asks, "COULD I ASK YOU TO BE THE BAITI PEDRO." The page ends with the chapter title "ONE PIECE CH.846 END" and a small Chopper reaction face.

A massive full-page splash reveals a towering, muscular humanoid figure with enormous curved horns, wild black hair, a scaled shoulder pauldron, and a spiked belt featuring a large skull emblem. The character wears a checkered garment secured by chains and spiked cuffs, standing in a powerful, menacing pose with clawed hands and a fierce glare. Smoke and impact lines emphasize the imposing presence.

A close-up shows Monkey D. Luffy's battered face, his straw hat dripping with water, eyes narrowed in fierce determination despite heavy bruises and blood. He glares forward with gritted teeth as a large speech bubble declares, "I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE!" Below it reads "ONE PIECE - 845".

The colorful title page for One Piece displays Monkey D. Luffy swinging dynamically through a lush jungle on a vine, his backpack and sandals visible as he leaps with a wide grin. Below him, several crewmates including a swordsman and others run through the foliage near a roaring waterfall. On the right stands a smiling woman with dark hair wearing a pink hooded jacket with fur trim, one arm raised. Large text at the top reads "ONE PIECE" with credits for Eiichiro Oda and scanlation team.
