Struggle

Luffy's face fills a large panel, eyes wide and mouth open as he yells "KAERU*!!!" with a note explaining "KAERU MEANS BOTH 'FROG' AND 'RETURN'. HE'S SAYING FROG, THEY THOUGHT HE WANTED TO RETURN TO WATER 7." Below, the crew reacts in shock: "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!" "WHY DO WE HAVE TO TURN BACK NOW!!!I STRAW HAT!!!" "WHAT!!I WE'VE COME SO FAR!!" A giant frog with an open mouth labeled "GERO GERO ~~~~~!!!!" bursts onto the tracks, with text stating "THAT FROG APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE!!!" and "ON THE TRACKS!!!" The frog bounces with a "BOUNCE!" effect as the train approaches.

The massive frog Yokozuna stands on the tracks as the Puffing Tom barrels forward. Crew members shout "WHAT A HUGE FROG ~~~~~!!" "THAT GUY!I" "YOKO-ZUNA!!!" Luffy yells "GET OUT OF THE WAY, FROGGY ~~~~~!!!" while the frog responds with "GERO GERO ~~~~~!!!" The train's face looms with "LOOK OUT!!" and impact sounds "ドドド" "オオオオ". A silhouette of two figures embraces in the foreground. The bottom panel shows the train speeding across a bridge over rough seas with "WOOOWOOO!!" "FWOOO..." and narration: "MEANWHILE, ON THE PUFFING TOM."

The Puffing Tom races away from a large building amid smoke and debris, with "WOOOWOOO!!" and impact effects. A small figure cheers "WE DID IT!! WE GOT ROBIN BACK ~~~~!!!!" Another says "IT JUST WOULDN'T BE THE SAME IF HE DIDN'T USE STUFF LIKE THIS SMOKE-SCREEN..." and "I'M SURPRISED! MAN, WHAT A WAY TO RETREAT!!" Inside the train car, the group discusses: "THEY'RE NOT LIKE THOSE OTHER SMALL FRIES." "YEAH, EVEN WITH THE CARS COMPLETELY SEPARATED, THIS FEELS WRONG." "— BUT THAT WAS TOO EASY..." "ACCOMPLISHING OUR GOAL WITHOUT FIGHTING THEM WAS THE BEST IDEA...!!!" "THOSE AWFUL GUYS." Two figures sit embracing on the floor with ".........." as smoke drifts.

Explosions rock the massive Sea Train as debris flies. A voice cries out, "WHAT THE...!I" and "!I" in shock. The train cars lurch violently. "THORN WHIPS!I" someone shouts as thorny tendrils lash out. A suited figure with horns yells, "YOU THINK I'LL LET YA COME OVER HERE!I" and "CUT THE WHIPS!!!" while gripping the whips. Blueno stands firm as a woman in a fishnet outfit declares, "I'VE GOT THEM." Blueno responds, "RIGHT." With a powerful "TUG!!" and "HMPH!!!" the whips are yanked tight.

The Sea Train cars smash together with massive impact. "WAA AAA AA!!" screams echo as the structure buckles. "WE'VE BEEN PULLED BACK TO THEM ~~~!!!" a voice yells amid the chaos. A masked figure with a long tongue grabs at Sanji and another fighter. "GYA —!!!" rings out. "SUCH POWER..." someone mutters. In the background, "THAT SMOKESCREEN WAS A PRETTY LAME IDEA." is spoken as the struggle intensifies.

Sanji shouts, "O...!!! OKAY!!!" while dodging. A voice calls, "SOGE-KING!!! GUARD ROBIN WITH YOUR LIFE!!!" Usopp's silhouette appears. Sanji notes, "SO, IT WAS USELESS AFTER ALL......." Blueno blocks the path, stating, "DON'T KILL THE STRAW HAT PIRATES. WE MADE A PROMISE." The large man with horns activates, "TEKKAi." and declares, "IT'S TIME TO PUSH THEM APART AGAIN!!!" while warning, "SORRY YOU WENT THROUGH ALL THE TROUBLE OF PULLING THESE TOGETHER, BUT...!!!"

Sanji questions, "WHAT'S WITH THIS TOUGHNESSI" as he strikes. The horned man counters with spinning attacks, "OKAY..." and "TMP!!" A voice explains, "THAT'S THEIR WEIRD FIGHTING STYLE I TOLD YOU ABOUT!!" The large fighter unleashes a devastating move labeled "CON-CASSE*!!!" with a massive impact. A footnote reads, "*CONCASSE IS THE PROCESS OF PEELING, SEEDING, AND CHOPPING TOMATOES." Reactions of "!!!!I" fill the panel as the blow lands.

Sanji shouts from off-panel, "WAA!! WAIT A SEC, ROBIN!!!" as Robin stands with a surprised expression. A voice yells, "BLUENO!! DON'T LET HIM MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOU, OR THEY'LL CUT YOUR PAY!" and "HE'S ONLY ONE MAN!!" Blueno thinks, "THAT WAS AN INCREDIBLY POWERFUL KICK....!!! IT NEARLY BROKE THROUGH HIS TEKKAI." while gritting his teeth. Usopp screams "USOPP!!!" and "GYAA!!" as Robin activates her power with the large text "OCCHO FLEUR CLUTCH!!!" (note: "OCCHO FLEUR MEANS 'EIGHT FLOWER'"). Multiple arms sprout and twist around the massive enemy. Robin snaps, "STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS!!!" Sanji cries out "ROBIN-CHAN!!I" while another voice demands "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU!I" Sanji reacts in shock, "WAI... WHAT THE......"

Sanji is struck hard, his body twisting with impact lines and "!!!!" as a voice warns, "HEY, PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING..." A massive shadowy figure looms and delivers a crushing blow, sending debris flying with "WAA!!!" and "EYE-BROWS!!!" The enemy grits his teeth in rage amid heavy impact SFX and motion lines as the black silhouette dominates the panel.

Franky stands tall in the ruined hall, declaring "YOU GUYS ARE ALL SO STUBBORN WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR COMRADES!!" and "JEEZ, ALL YOU GUYS ARE THE SAME..." while thinking about going through trouble to escape. A huge crash erupts with "CRASH!!" and "HERE'S YOUR CHANCE!!!" as the wall explodes. Franky smashes through with "FRANKY!!!" and massive impact SFX "ガシャーン!!" Robin and Sanji react with surprise, "EH!!I"

Franky is sent flying as someone laughs "WAHAHA, LOOK HOW THIS TURNED OUT!" and another says "THAT WASN'T NECESSARY..." Robin asks, "..... TELL ME... WHY ARE YOU HELPING THOSE GUYSI" Franky replies from the rubble, "WHEN YOU MEET UP WITH THE STRAW HATS, GET BACK TO TOWN SOMEHOW!!!" while insisting "OW!! YOU GUYS!! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!! I'VE GOT A PLAN!!" and "I CAN'T TAKE IT!! STANDING BY WHILE SHE KEEPS DOING THIS... AND HER COMRADES WON'T LEAVE WITHOUT HER....." Sanji yells, "EVEN IF WE'RE ATTACKED, SOMEHOW, BY THE GOVERNMENT'S BUSTER CALL... WE CAN HANDLE IT! WHY WON'T YOU JUST COME WITH US, ROBIN-CHANII!!" Robin shouts back, "WE KNEW THE SITUATION AND CAME TO SAVE YOU!!!!" and "WHAT A THING TO DO... WAIT!!!! I'M NOT TRYING TO ESCAPE THIS FAR, WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGI!!" as Franky adds "HOLD ON, ROBIN-CHAN!! WE'VE COME THIS FAR, WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGI!!"

A figure reacts with surprise, "EH..." as a powerful kick is unleashed. "RAN-KYAKU." In a grand hall, a tall man in a top hat and dark coat stands with arms spread, declaring, "THAT BUSTER CALL IS THE PROBLEM..." Sanji appears mid-air with a devastating kick, shouting "SANJI!!!" The impact lands with a resounding "GWA!!!" as an unseen observer cries out, "WHA... WHAT WAS THAT!I!I HE APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE!!!"

The sea train Puffing Tom vanishes into the waves amid massive splashes and sound effects, with voices shouting "DISAP-PEARED!!" and "BLUENO..." Inside an ornate room, Blueno opens a swirling air door while explaining its power. "THE DOA DOA FRUIT'S TRUE WORTH LIES IN MORE THAN JUST THE 'AIR DOOR'..." "HE'S ABLE TO MAKE GATEWAYS THROUGH THE WALLS OF THE ATMOSPHERE." "IT'S HIS DEVIL FRUIT ABILITY." "HE DIDN'T DISAPPEAR..." A note reads "*DOA MEANS 'DOOR'." Outside, Franky roars in fury, "LET GO OF ROBIN!!!" while staring in shock, "HOW CAN THAT BEI!I!" and "...!!!! WHAT DID YOU SAYI!!"

Usopp is struck by a sudden attack, crying "USOPP!!!" as "SHIGAN." lands. Inside, a woman with dark hair warns, "WAIT!!!" and urges, "...WE SHOULD GET AWAY FROM HERE, QUICKLY." A horned figure admits, "HE WAS ADVANCING ON ME, I HAD NO CHOICE." The woman screams, "THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH!!! STOP IT, I'M NOT TRYING TO RUN AWAY!!!" Crew debate follows: "YOU CAN'T LEAVE A CREW WITHOUT THE CAPTAIN'S PERMISSION...!!!!" "...BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PIRATES..." "YOU'RE HIDING, ISN'T THERE......!I WE CARE..." "THERE'S STILL SOMETHING..." The woman finally says, "IT'S OKAY...... ROBIN, YOU'LL BE...... OKAY."

Nico Robin stares ahead with tears in her eyes, thinking, "SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN LUFFY." A masked figure sweats nervously nearby. Below, a fierce clash erupts with heavy impacts and "WAA!!!" as bodies tumble amid debris and motion lines. A stern man with a square jaw watches the chaos unfold with a grim expression.

Sanji stares in disbelief at the unfolding explanation. "HOW CAN YOU SAY THATI!!" he yells. A voice replies, "IT'S NO USE. NICO ROBIN WON'T BREAK HER PROMISE..." In the distance, Robin stands motionless inside the massive building as "TAP TAP" footsteps echo. The horned man continues gravely, "THE ONLY PERSON TO SURVIVE THAT INCIDENT... WAS A YOUNG NICO ROBIN," his words overlaid on her childhood wanted poster. "IN THE PAST, THERE WAS A BUSTER CALL INVOKED BY THE NAVY. THE HORRIFIC EVENT OCCURRED ON AN ISLAND, THE WHOLE THING WAS BURNT TO A CRISP, LEAVING NO TRACES BEHIND." Close-ups intensify the tale: "THOSE MEMORIES OF TERROR PLANTED IN HER DAYS OF YOUTH... ARE WHAT CAUSE HER TO TURN ON HER COMRADES. AS FAR AS THAT WOMAN IS CONCERNED, SHE IS AN IRREDEEMABLE DEVIL. IN OTHER WORDS, DUE TO THE BUSTER CALL..." Sanji's face twists in fury. "WHAT'D YOU SAY...!I"

The horned man affirms coldly, "OF COURSE. YOU REALLY... KNOWING ALL OF THAT...!!!!" while Robin remains still in the background. He adds, "IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOU'VE LOST YOUR WILL TO FIGHT..." and "IT'S ALL FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE. THAT GIRL HAS OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES." Sanji erupts in rage, eyes wide and teeth bared, shouting "HOW ROTTEN CAN YOU GETI!!!" as motion lines emphasize his fury. Below, he curses violently, "DAMN IT ALL TO HELL ~~~~~!!!!" while charging forward with "POP..." and impact effects, yelling "DON'T SCREW WITH ME!!!!" as the scene erupts into chaos.

On the sea train, a voice states, "WE'RE TRANSPORTING TWO CRIMINALS." Another replies, "YES, WITHOUT DELAY." Inside the car, a long-haired man in a top hat with a bird on his shoulder muses, "HOW NOSTALGIC, IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS..." while companions note, "WE CAN ALREADY SEE IT IN FRONT OF US... SO WE'LL BE ARRIVING SOON." The train races across open sea toward a massive island gate. Large text declares "THE 'NIGHTLESS ISLAND'..." and "ENIES LOBBY." A final box requests, "PLEASE OPEN THE GATES." The train whistle blares "WOOWOOOO!!" as it approaches the towering structure.

Large title text reads "ONE PIECE 374" above a stylized panel featuring three distinctive figures: a horned armored character on the left, a duck-like creature with a backpack and helmet in the center, and a masked figure with a wide hat on the right.
