YetiBros: At the bottom of a cliff in Area F-16... // ...you should find three dead bodies. // Pirate Hunter Zoro... // The Cat-Burglar... // And the Soul King. // Take care of the retrieval.
Minion: Huh...? Y...You killed them, then?
YetiBros: If you don't want your target killed, / then you called the wrong people.
Minion: No, no!! The Master said it was fine either way... // Good luck with the rest of your mission!!

[Box: Caesar Clown's Research Lab]
Caesar: Oh, did you hear that, Moné...? // It looks like they've kicked the bucket!
Moné: I see... Hahahaha... / How very disappointing... // This crew come from the "Terrible Generation", just like Law... / ...and it looks like the Government consider them as dangerous as Blackbeard himself. / So when I read articles proclaiming that they were back in force and as strong as ever... // ...I thought they would be a little more impressive than this. Don't you agree, Law...?
Law: .........
Moné: You know them fairly well, isn't that right? Two years ago on Shabondy... / And then during the battle at Marineford... You've been involved with Straw Hat twice before.
Caesar: What's this now?
Law: .........

4
Caesar: I certainly hope it wasn't you that called them here...
Law: .................. / Until I bumped into them at the entrance... // ...I had no idea they were even here in the facility. I told you that allready. // If I had known, I would have warned you that locking them in a room was never going to be enough... // It's because you didn't take more care with them that I wasn't able to get rid of those Marines completely. / I'll remind you that I don't want this place to be discovered any more than you do.
Caesar: .........
Flashback!Minion: Master!! // Master!! The Shichibukai pirate... // ...Law has arrived on the island!!

5
Flashback!Caesar: And you want to stay here on Punk Hazard?
Flashback!Law: It wasn't easy for me to reach this island which can't be found by Log Pose. / It is a former secret Government facility, after all... // I'm looking into research that the Government is carrying out. / This facility should contain valuable traces of research that is still going on to this day. // All I ask is that you let me have free rein of this facility and the island. / Nothing more. // I'll help you out in return, if you like. / And neither of us needs to pry into the other's affairs. // Naturally, I don't want you telling anybody that I'm here. / And that includes Joker.
Flashback!Caesar: ?! // ...You sure are well-informed. How do you know so much?

6
Flashback!Law: Would you prefer if I was an ignorant fool who didn't know anything?
Flashback!Caesar: Shurorororo...!! / I see, I see. We're rogues of the same stripe, is that what you're saying...? // I don't see how I can trust you, but I suppose your proposition can't hurt. / Right, Moné?
Flashback!Moné: .................. // Born in North Blue, known as the "Doctor of Death", user of the Ope Ope no Mi... // I see you're a doctor. // There are a lot of former prisoners on this island whose bodies have been damaged by the effects of poison gas. // Can you heal them?
Caesar: .........

7
Caesar: ......Well... / I suppose if you were planning to call associates to this island, you'd be a bit more clever about it. After going out of your way to ingratiate yourself with the World Government... // ...and join the ranks of the Royal Shichibukai in order to make it to this island... / ...I can't imagine you'd do anything so careless that could ruin both our plans. // You have my apologies.
Law: When you just said... / ...that those kids would come back here sooner or later regardless, what exactly did you...?
Caesar: Oh, that... // I feed them a special drugged Candy every day. / It releases a sweet and intoxicating stimulant gas... / Shurorororo...... // They won't get their next dose unless they come back to me...!!!
Law: You're a twisted one, all right... // Reminds me of a certain someone...

8
Moné: And the battle?
Law: Call me if you need me...!! I'll take down whoever you tell me to.
Caesar: ......... // Shrewd men like him are always difficult to deal with...

Nami!Franky: I don't like this!! What's going on?!
Chopper!Sanji: It's no earthquake!! We're definitely under attack!! / But...enemies?! In a place like this?!! // This isn't good... If this place collapses, what will happen to the children?!!
Nami!Franky: What about Luffy and the others?!
Chopper!Sanji: Luffy, Franky, Robin and Usopp... / ...should all be well on their way to the lab by now!! It's just the two of us!!
Nami!Franky: Can you see the enemy?! How many of them are there?! What do they look like?!
Chopper!Sanji: *pant*...!! That's just the thing... *pant*... *pant*... // I can't make out any sign...of anyone...!!
Nami!Franky: No way...!!

[Box: Partway down the mountain / Luffy's Team]
Usopp: Luffy!! I'm sure that was an explosion just now!!
Robin: The noise is coming from the direction we came from...
Franky!Chopper: It could have something to do with whatever made these footprints!!
Luffy: .................. // ...There's definitely something out there... Two of them!! They feel like wild animals!!
Usopp: Huh??
Luffy: Let's head back!! Nami and Chopper are in danger!!
Brownbeard: ...*yawn*... Looks like I dozed off... // ...............!! // ...Hm?!! It's awfully noisy out there... Did somebody show up to rescue me?!
Nami!Franky: !
Brownbeard: Is is Law?! Our Master?! Or else... // No... This is a snow-covered mountain...!! / It must be them......!!
Nami!Franky: Hold it, Brown-face!! You know something about this enemy, don't you?! / Who are they and what are they doing here?!

11
Nami!Franky: If you don't answer, I'll hit you with this!! Biyuuuoonn!!
Chopper!Sanji: Are you making fun of beams?!!!
Brownbeard: There's no point trying to search for them... / They'll never show themselves, no matter what you do......!! Even we barely know a thing about them, not even their faces...!!
Nami!Franky: Huh?!
Brownbeard: However... // When they're asked to kill someone, they will do so without fail. For the proper price, of course!! All I do know about them... / ...is that their footprints are huge and their voices are low...!!! // Oh, and one more thing... / They're giant beast-men covered completely in hair!! // The snowy-mountain killer duo who appear like death out of the blizzard... / Oh, and we do know their names!! One is called Rock and the other is Scotch!! People call them... the Yeti Cool Brothers!!! // They come from an unknown snowy country, and they're 25 years -
Nami!Franky: WHAT HAPPENED TO "WE BARELY KNOW A THING"?!!

12
Brownbeard: But it's true that nobody has ever seen their faces!! Wohohohoh!! // They're gigantic, and incredibly powerful!! They're here to save me!! You guys must already be on their death lis......!! // ?!!
Nami!Franky: Huhhh?!!
Chopper!Sanji: Hm?!
Scotch: You're Brownbeard, yes?
Brownbeard: ...............??!
Scotch: Your name is also on my death list.
Brownbeard: ?!!
Nami!Franky: Aaaaaghhhhh~~~~~~!!
Chopper!Sanji: Aaaaarghhhh!! What is this guy~~~~~~?!!!
Brownbeard: Rock...?!! Is that you?!!
Scotch: No, I'm Scotch.
Brownbeard: I thought I just...heard you say... / Wohohoh!! // I must have been imagining things!! My Master sent you here to save me, isn't that right?! // So hurry up and eliminate these Straw Hat-

13
Scotch: The Master's orders are to kill you as well...
Brownbeard: ?!
Scotch: Listen to this...
Recording!Caesar: ...Oh, and that guy...What was his name again...? // The one who was captured by the enemy... Hairy-faced idiot... Famous for being worthless even when he was a pirate...
Brownbeard: Master...............?! // ...............!!
Recording!Caesar: Oh yes, that's right. "Brownbeard".
Brownbeard: !!!
Nami!Franky/Chopper!Sanji: ...............!!
Recording!Caesar: ...He's only a hindrance to me now... I don't need him. // Kill him, too. / *ka-chunk*
Brownbeard: ...............!!!
Usopp: Look!!! Over there, I can see smoke from the explosion!!
Luffy: Nami~~~~~!! Chopper~~!!! Are you all right~~~~?!!!

14
Scotch: Your name is Brownbeard, is it not?
Flashback!Caesar: You did well to make it this far. It's all right now...!! You're safe here.
Brownbeard: It can't be...!!
Flashback!Caesar: Brownbeard... You're such a reliable soldier.
Flashback!Brownbeard: Oh, don't flatter me...!! Wohohohoh!!
Brownbeard: MASTEEEEEEERRRRR~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Nami!Franky/Chopper!Sanji: !!! // ...............!!! // !!!

15
Rock: Oi, Scotch!! Don't overdo it!! / You'll make this whole place collapse and kill the brats too!!!
Scotch: ...............!!
Rock: Take a look outside!! Their Captain has returned!! That takes priority!!!
Scotch: Right.
Chopper!Sanji: Brownbeard!! // He was their ally!! How could they...?!!
Franky!Chopper?: What's that?! It's huge!!

Nami!Franky: Mmphh!! Mmmpphhh!! // (...............!!)
YetiBros: Apparently he has some kind of laser made by Vegapunk... // The rest, we're clear to kill...!! // Excellent. Let's get right to it.

[Text: "Quincy Letzt Stil". // I had heard that name once from Urahara-san. // As always, he avoided telling me where he got his information from, but I remember clearly what he said. // "This is something you'd be better off knowing." // That was how he began.]
Flashback!Urahara: I'm sure you remember that Ishida-san lost his Quincy abilities at one point. // Well, this was the cause.
[Text: The Sanrei Glove. An artifact with the ability to disperse spirit particles. // It acts as a form of restraint for a Quincy, whose power comes from absorbing the spirit particles around him. // After wearing the glove and carrying out intensive training... // ...this final Quincy power can be achieved by finally removing the glove once more.]

5
[Text: That is the Quincy Letzt Stil.]
Urahara: But while this is the greatest power a Quincy can unleash, it it also his last. // A Quincy who makes use of this last resort will quickly use up all the power he possesses, and lose his abilities forever.
Ichigo: (Is this the same thing? // Is the power this guy is using right now... // ...the same as the power Urahara-san told me about?)
Opie: ...You seem to be a little confused.

6
Opie: Allow me to surmise what you are thinking... / ...and provide you with your answer. // No, it is not the same. // The Quincy Letzt Stil, the power with which you are familiar... // ...is a relic of the past. The very notion of it was abandoned around 200 years ago due to its inherent fragility.

7
Opie: The only Quincy foolish enough to retain an attachment to that old relic was Ishida Souken, the man who rejected our studies and the evolution that we achieved! // The power you know and the Quincy Vollständig that you see now... // ...are as different as heaven and earth!!
Ichigo: ...Okay. // I don't really care about your tired old stories... / ...but it sounds like this power isn't the same as Ishida's.

8
Ichigo: That's a relief. // If Ishida transformed into a creepy form like yours... / ...I think I might accidentally slice him up! // Your blade's getting a little weak there. // Getsuga Tenshou!!!

9
Opie: ...Dear me, dear me...

10
Opie: Have you ever considered... // ...the concept of aiming your attacks?
Ichigo: Ugh.........!
Opie: Though even if you were to do so... // ...I have no weaknesses for you to target!

11
Opie: "Creepy", did you say? // Is that what you think... / ...of this form of mine? // That is the correct reaction. // For in the eyes of any twisted and barbaric Shinigami... // To face the ultimate enforcers of all that is holy and righteous... // ...must be an abhorrent and terrifying sight indeed!!!

12
Orihime: !! // No way... // My Santen Kesshun are being torn away...!

13
Chad: Not quite...! // It's not just the Santen Kesshun... / The trees, the sand, the rocks and buildings... // Everything in Hueco Mundo that is formed of spirit particles... // ...is being drawn in towards him......!!
Orihime: (Of course... // This explains why I didn't feel any spirit-particle shockwave before......! // To a Quincy, spirit particles aren't something to be emitted, they're something to be absorbed...! // And all the more so if their power has been perfected to this level..........!)

14
Opie: Now! / Feel the force of my strength! // The power of my Vollständig... / "Viskiel"!!!

Franky!Chopper: Whoaaaa!! I suddenly got all big and fluffy!!
Chopper!Sanji: That's called "Guard Point". I can transform into six different forms just by picturing them.
Franky!Chopper: That's a pretty unstable body you've got!!
Chopper!Sanji: You just have to get used to it!
Sanji!Nami: What did you say?! / The samurai went outside?!!
Brook: Indeed. // After I mentioned a short while ago that I had met a person who was only a torso... / ...he questioned me on the details of where this had happened. // And then he ran off into the snow...!!
Sanji!Nami: Ughhh!! I knew it was too quiet around here...!!! I should have paid more attention!!
Brook: Is there some kind of problem......?
Sanji!Nami: I'm the one who dragged him out of that place when he was just a head who couldn't even move. / When you do a thing like that, you take on a certain amount of responsibility!! If that idiot gets himself killed now, it'll be my fault...!!

Brook: ...I see, I see. He may be a samurai, but without his torso to wield a sword... / ...He has no way to defend himself short of fleeing. // Then do you intend to...go after him?
Sanji!Nami: I swear, when I find him... // Luffy!! I need to go off somewhere for a bit. Is that all right?!
Luffy: Sure, go ahead!!
Brook: In that case, I will guide you to the location in question. By the by, would you care to show me your panties?
Sanji!Nami: Sure, why not! In fact, we should take this opportunity to find a camera and -
Nami!Franky: HOLD ON A MINUTE~~~~!!!
Flashback!Nami!Franky: Zoro!! You go along with them. // (As long as Zoro's around, Sanji-kun will spend the whole time arguing with him...)
Zoro: So tell me again, why do I have to go and hunt for that farting samurai just because you've been a prize idiot?!!
Sanji!Nami: Well, it sure ain't because I want you around!!! To think that I'm stuck with the one idiot I can't even share this happiness with!!!
Brook: Alas, I was brutally punched... Were my bones shattered, you ask? / No... // All that was shattered was my dreams of seeing panties...!

Usopp: So, let's figure out what we're going to do next.
Nami!Franky: Our priority has to be changing ourselves back to normal!! / I can't stand being this perverse freak any longer!!
Franky!Chopper: Aw, c'mon, no need to compliment me that much~~~!♡
Robin: Please don't make that face as Chopper. ...Ever again.
Franky!Chopper: The only problem is those kids. Dealing with them ain't gonna be easy, y'know?
Robin: Franky, I don't think you should speak at all in that body. // Ever again.
Chopper!Sanji: I have the results...!! // But... / This is...!!!

Nami!Franky: Chopper, you just examined them, didn't you?! Do these children really have some kind of illness?!!
Chopper!Sanji: ......No.
Nami!Franky: ?

Chopper!Sanji: Is there something you want about now? / What do you usually do around this time?
Shindo: ? // *pant*... // ......Usually.........? / We have our examination...and then...they give us some candy...
Chopper!Sanji: Candy?
Kids: Uh-huh, it's all fizzy and smoke comes out of it. / It's really funny, and really tasty.
Shindo: Yeah... When I eat that......!! // ......Uerghhh......!! / *pant*... *pant*...

Chopper!Sanji: Brownbeard! That's your name, right? / What do you know about this?!! These children don't have a disease at all!!
Brownbeard: ? / What are you talking about? Our job is to patrol outside, so I don't know much about what happens inside the lab... / ...but those kids are all horribly ill!! // Our merciful Master went out of his way to gather them from their island homes... / ...so that he could treat them with his own special techniques and medicine!! / He's a tender-hearted scientist!!!
Kids: Urghh... *cough*...!! // Ally, you too?! Are you okay?!!
Brownbeard: You see?! This proves it!! As soon as you take them away from the lab...
Chopper!Sanji: .........
Brownbeard: ...the kids are collapsing in pain because they haven't had their treatment!!!

8
Chopper!Sanji: YOU'RE WRONG!!!
Nami!Franky: Chopper, what's wrong?! Did you figure something out?!!
Chopper!Sanji: ......!! // NHC-10. That's what I found from examining these children. // Only trace amounts, but it's definitely there. // This is a stimulant drug!!!
People: ?!!
Chopper!Sanji: Only a very select number of doctors in a select few countries are even permitted to possess this stuff!! / Doctorine used to have some, so I know all about it. // It can legitimately be used to treat some illnesses, but only in the smallest of doses. / It's never acceptable to exceed the maximum dose, because the drug can become highly addictive!!

9
Chopper!Sanji: These children have been taking the same drug every day for a long period of time... They've reached the chronic addiction phase!! / Their bodies are seeking their next dose to escape from the pain!!! // Why?!! Why would anyone do this to innocent children?!!! // Just to stop them from escaping the lab?!! // What is your so-called "saviour"... / ...really doing with these children?!!!
Brownbeard: You'd better not be trying to insult our Master...!!!
Luffy: Chopper, what do we do?! They're all collapsing in pain!! / Do they need the candy?! Should I go back to that building and see if I can get some?!!
Chopper!Sanji: NO!!! We mustn't let them so much as taste that "candy" ever again!!! / The people in that lab have been using it to feed these children dangerous drugs!!!

10
Shindo: Straw Hat guy... Are you gonna bring us the candy...?
Luffy: Hm? ......No!! I can't. / If Chopper says it's bad, then it must be bad!! He's our ship's doctor!! We have to trust him!!

Usopp: I guess even young giants must still be pretty strong!!
Franky!Chopper: Yeah, but this strong?!

12
Kids: Shindo isn't a giant!!
Nami!Franky: Huh?!
Kids: None of the big kids are giants! When we first arrived on this island... / ...all of use were normal sized!!
Chopper!Sanji: ..................
Kids: I thought we had a disease that makes us grow! Isn't that right?! There's nothing else wrong with us! // The kids who've been here the longest are always the biggest...!!
Chopper!Sanji: That's ridiculous!! There's no disease that would make ordinary humans grow to the size of giants!! / People with giant bodies are extra large to begin with!! / ...But then...
Franky!Chopper: The other kids are starting to act crazy too...!!
Chopper!Sanji: Their pituitary glands are releasing hormones at an accelerated rate... But that wouldn't happen naturally... / Which means that these children are being...experimented on...!!! ......!!! // What is that "Master" of theirs trying to achieve...?!!! // How dare he control these children with his drugs......?!!!
Luffy: Shall I take care of them?!!
Usopp: No, Luffy!! Get out of the way!!!

Luffy: Hmmm...... / Then let's take them to their parents...!!
Franky!Chopper: You idiot!! It's not nearly that simple!! There are a mountain of problems to deal with!!
Robin: Indeed... And we still don't even have a proper grasp of the situation. / Until we expose the mastermind behind this, nothing can be certain!!
Luffy: You mean that "Master" guy...? // But Zoro, Sanji and Brook have run off to find that samurai already... / Oh, well, I guess we'll just have to go back to the lab without them!! / To find this "Master"!!
Chopper!Sanji: ......I need to stay behind here...!! I can't forgive that "Master" for what he's done... / Honestly, I'd like to beat him up myself, but...

15
Chopper!Sanji: I'm still worried about the children... I have to take care of them...
Nami!Franky: Good point! Then... I guess I'll stay behind as well!!
Usopp: That's dirty and low, Nami!! You're just scared, aren't you?!!!
Luffy: But what if the kids start going crazy again like just now? / That would be bad!!
Usopp: Let's tie up the big ones... // ...so they can't do anything!!
Robin: That's a little crude...
Franky!Chopper: It's the only way. These kids fight like heavies!! // But hang on. What about the whole body-switch thing? / I figure the four of us... / ...need to all meet up with Trafalgar again if we want to change back.
Luffy: Oh, just stay as you are! It'll be fine!

Urahara: Wait, wait, what are you talking about?! // I thought you were the one who suggested in the first place that while Kurosaki Ichigo was drawing the enemy's attention... / ...we should take the opportunity to rescue Dondochakka!
Pesche: W... / Well, yes, that was my idea... // But I did not think it would take us this much time...! // This is all your fault for being so heavy and hiding underneath all that sand!!
Dondochakka: Oww! That hurts!!
Urahara: Ahhhh~!

Chapter 664: Master Caesar Clown

[Insert text: This is Tashigi, not Smoker!!]
Tashigi!Smoker: If I recall correctly, over the past few years... / ...there have been a number of child kidnapping incidents on the islands around this area.
People: Kidnappings~~~~?! // More importantly, we can't get used to you like this, Captain-chan!!
Tashigi!Smoker: I can't help it, can I?! Just bear with it for the moment!!
Smoker!Tashigi: Oi, Tashigi. What's this about kidnappings? I never heard about any kids getting abducted.
Tashigi!Smoker: Can you please fasten up that shirt, Smoker-san?!!
People: And this very "open" Captain-chan has all the looks... / ...but what's inside is too scary!!!

4
Smoker!Tashigi: The only incidents I remember cropping up a lot in these parts are shipwrecks. / Though come to think of it, I do remember thinking that kids seem to die a lot around here.
People: Now you mention it, I've noticed that too!
Tashigi!Smoker: The thing is, I've been spending a fair amount of time in the Communications department... / ...and I can tell you for a fact that G-5 receives a lot of reports of child kidnappings. // [aside]Ah... I don't have any glasses...[/aside] / But by the time these incidents make it into the newspapers... / ...they are always reported as accidents at sea, or pirate raids, or simple disappearances... // Of course, it's probably just that the people sending the initial reports were making wild assumptions! / But even so... There may be the slight possibility...
People: .........
Smoker!Tashigi: Enough stumbling over your words, Tashigi!!

5
Smoker!Tashigi: If you have a theory to voice, then tell it to me loud and clear!!! // I presume you're trying to say that after the crowd of children we just witnessed... / ...you suspect that the kidnapping reports may have been right on the mark after all. // And the kidnapper responsible may be somewhere on this island. / But if that turns out to be true...!!
Tashigi!Smoker: ......... // ..................
Smoker!Tashigi: It implies the information that got out to the public was faked. In other words... / Someone inside G-5 has been covering up these kidnappings...!!
People: ?! // You mean... someone inside G-5 is working for the kidnapper?! // Now hold on there, Smoke-san!! We can't have you looking down on us like that! Sure, we may be a bunch of misfits... // But we still have some pride in our station as Marines!!!

6
Smoker!Tashigi: SHUT UP!!!
People: Aghhhhh!!! / Too scary!!
Smoker!Tashigi: You really think I can be bothered with suspecting a bunch of idiots like you?!!
People: Ehhhhhhh~~~?!
Smoker!Tashigi: That said, I wouldn't advise you to place too much faith in the Marines either!! // As long as humanity divides itself into factions, no organisation in this world can be perfect...!!! // Make assumptions, and the enemy will slip through your grasp!! Don't be taken in by appearances!!!
People: ...Ahh......!! // ...............?!! // YES SIR, CAPTAIN-CHAN, SIR!!!
Smoker!Tashigi: .................. / ...Oh, forget it.
Tashigi!Smoker: I'm the Captain!
People: Oh, yeah!! We were taken in by appearances!!

7
Tashigi!Smoker: But, Smoker-san, I... I really can't say with any confidence...
Smoker!Tashigi: Don't fret yourself. It's a theory worth keeping in mind, that's all. // At any rate, Law has taken my heart and my body from me. / I can't leave this island just yet. // One-third of you should leave the island now and report what has happened here.
People: What are you talking about, Vice-Admiral?!! Our ship has been sliced to pieces...!
Smoker!Tashigi: I told you the enemy has a ship, didn't I? So steal it.
People: Of course!! Why didn't we think of that?!! You're a villain through and through!!!
Smoker!Tashigi: But take it slow and careful. Before this gets out and becomes a major incident, I intend to take back my heart and body... // ...and expose the true mastermind behind all this!!!

[Box: Former Vegapunk Research Facility]
Caesar: Finally, we've received word. // We have permission to take their lives. / The Straw Hat crew... the Marines of G-5... and Kitsunebi no Kin'emon. // No matter who dies on this island... / ...Joker will make it look like a mere accident at sea. That's just what I was hoping to hear...!! // Capture as many of them as possible... / We can never have too many subjects for our experiments...!!
Minions: Yes, Master!!
Caesar: However, if some prove too difficult to capture alive, feel free to poison them to death. / Where is Law?
Minions: He left the room just now and...
Caesar: No matter. It seems we're up against an enemy with a 400 million bounty. Don't push yourselves too hard.

9
Moné: The other members of the crew are also all bounty heads... / ...with bounty values ranging from 120 million to 50 Beli. The total bounty of the crew amounts to 800 million and 50 Beli.
Caesar: !
Moné: However, for a period of approximately two years... / ...it seems the crew has been entirely inactive. Their bounties have not been raised during this period, so their actual strength may exceed what the numbers would suggest.
Caesar: Thorough as always, I see, Moné.
Centaur: MASTER!!! // *pant* // *pant*... *pant*...
Caesar: ?! // Oh...? What happened to you? Did you just come in from the freezing cold without even a coat for protection?!!
Centaur: Our clothes were stolen by the pirates...!! But more importantly... / They went and kidnapped our Boss, Brownbeard...!! // Please... You have to help him......!!
Caesar: Dear me, how terrible that must have been...!! But no need to worry about Brownbeard. / I will take him back, mark my words...!!! For now, head into the inner chamber.
Centaur: .........
Caesar: You are very lucky; as it happens, I have just perfected a new medicine. / It will warm your body and sooth your wounds...!!
Centaur: Really?! That would be wonderful... Please, help the others too...
Caesar: Of course I will. But first, heal yourself.

[Box: The Straw Hats]
Sanji!Nami: And what the hell do you call this, Usopp?!! // You're spoiling Nami-san's beautiful looks!!
Franky!Chopper: I feel quite SUPER~~~!!
Nami!Franky: I don't even care any more...
Chopper!Sanji: Thanks for this, Usopp~~~~!!
Usopp: Sorry, but this is the only way to stop us all getting totally confused!! // ?
Luffy: "Brownbeard"~~~~~?
Brownbeard: That's right! I'm sure you've heard it before... That's the name I used to go by!!!
Luffy: Nope, never heard of it.
Brownbeard: The hell did you just say?!!!

11
Zoro: What's made you so talkative all of a sudden......?
Brownbeard: You people are all going to be killed soon enough. Law is going to come and save me, you wait and see!! Wohohoh!! / I can't stand most pirates of your generation, but Law is an exception!
Luffy: What d'you mean, "our generation"?
Brownbeard: You don't even know?! Ignorant fool! / Those crazy rookies who gathered on Shabondy Island two years ago... / ...all eleven of you with bounties above 100 million, that is, plus Blackbeard... / ...are known to the world as the "Terrible Generation"!! // A generation of outrageous problem children, born in the void between the end of one age and the start of another, bearing a fate of conflict and strife!!! // After the fall of Whitebeard, they stormed into the New World and left chaos and turmoil in their wake...!! / Whenever a major incident occurred, you could be sure that a pirate from the Terrible Generation would be right at the centre!!! // Blackbeard!! Kidd!! Law!! Drake!! Hawkins!! / That accursed Basil Hawkins was the man who annihilated my crew, the Brownbeard Pirates!!

12
Brownbeard: Thanks to him, I lost my legs and was no longer able to continue my life of piracy...!! / My whole crew devastated, I fled desperately for my life... // And this place, Punk Hazard, is where I wound up!! // Do you people even realise what this place is?! // Long ago, they say it was a veritable treasure trove of greenery and life...
Luffy: Greenery and life? Here?!
Zoro: That's hard to believe...
Brownbeard: The facilities you see here originally belonged to the Government scientist, Vegapunk. / He used them to further his research and experimentation into all kinds of weaponry and drugs. // He had many prisoners brought here instead of being taken to jail, / and used them in his horrific experiments......!!

13
Brownbeard: But then, four years ago, an experiment involving a chemical weapon Vegapunk was developing went horribly wrong... // ...and two of the three research facilities on the island were laid to rubble...!! // The place we're standing now... // ...is the remains of one of those facilities!!!
StrawHats: ?! // No wonder it's so messed up...!!
Brownbeard: The explosion covered the island with scorching heat and poisonous chemicals, wiping out all traces of life. // But the Government researchers sailed away without a thought for all the prisoners they left behind... / ...and sealed off the island completely!
Robin: ...............!!
Brownbeard: The abandoned prisoners sought refuge in the one research lab that was still standing. / They took shelter there from the poisonous gases that had flooded the island outside. // Due to a powerful nerve gas, even those who didn't die outright were mostly paralysed from the waist down... / ...and their futures seemed bleak at best...!!

14
Brownbeard: But then, one year after the accident, a man arrived on the island once more. / That man was none other than our great and merciful Master...!! // Using his special abilities, he cleansed the island of the poisonous gases that plagued it... / And with the power of science, he granted the prisoners who had lost the use of their legs the freedom to move once more, taking them in as his own subordinates!!
Franky!Chopper: Aaahhhhhh!! Master~~~!!
Chopper!Sanji: Masteeeeer~~~!!!
Brownbeard: It was another year later that I found my way to this island. / There were still traces of poisonous chemicals in the air, and breathing the air made me horribly sick. // I didn't even have the strength of will to go on living. I thought my life was over then and there. / But then they appeared before me... The former prisoners who had lost their legs, just like I had... and their Master...!!! // Thanks to his kindness, my life was saved just as theirs had been before me...! // If the evil Vegapunk who stole my comrades' legs is a demon... / ...then our Master is a benevolent God and saviour.........!!!

15
Brownbeard: And finally, just a few months ago...... / Our second saviour arrived. // Trafalgar Law, who had become a member of the Shichibukai... / ...came to this island. // He took pity on me and my comrades who had lost our legs... / ...and used his ability to replace them with wonderful new legs!! // The legs of all kinds of different animals!! / We had long since given up all hope of ever walking again... The joy of it brought us all to tears!!!
Franky!Chopper: WHAT A TOUCHING STORY~~~~!!!
Luffy: I know Tra-dude was a nice guy really! He helped me out too, after all!
Nami!Franky: I never knew Vegapunk was such a monster...!!!
Sanji!Nami: The goat-legged people we saw at the facility must have been created with his ability, too...
Usopp: The centaurs and the harpy all make sense now... But hang on a minute. / What about the dragon?

16
Brownbeard: Oh, you saw the dragon, did you? / That thing is an artificially-engineered creature originally created by Vegapunk to guard this island. / It can survive in any harsh climate. / I seem to recall the Tenryuubito took a liking to it and gave it some kind of name... I can't remember what, though. / If you see it again, you should run for your lives. It's a vicious beast.
Zoro: All right. // (We already ate it, though...)
Brownbeard: At any rate, I hope you understand now who calls the shots on this island. We won't allow anyone else to invade our territory! / Punk Hazard belongs to our Master, and our Master alone!! // Wohohohoh......!! / You should be happy!!! // Our Master is carrying out a grand research project for the sake of humanity's future...!! / All of you will get to become research subjects for the sake of his glorious goal!! // There's no escape for you now!! Wohohohohoh!!

17
[Box: The Facility]
Centaur: Master...!! / Master, it hurts!! Wha...ghhh... / *cough* *cough* // What kind of... ughhh... medicine is this...?!!! / You've gotta... aghhhh... let me... urghhh... out...!
Caesar: Hold on a little longer!! // How do you feel right now?!
Centaur: Ueeeerghhhh~~!! / *cough* *cough*
Caesar: Retching... Coughing... I see, very good!! / Does your head hurt?!
Centaur: It hurts... the painnn...
Caesar: I see!! / How about your eyes? Are you seeing any hallucinations?!
Centaur: The room... it's full of... giant snakes...!!!
Caesar: Shurororo... Of course it isn't. That's enough, I'll put you out of your misery. // A little disappointing...
Moné: Another failure?
Caesar: Did you say "failure"?! Don't you dare use that word!! No experiment of mine has ever been a failure!! / And that includes my experiment four years ago!! // Oh, they all think they're so clever, calling it a gigantic screw-up...!!

18
Caesar: Failed experiment?! Hah!! My weapon wiped out all life on this entire island...!!! // And you call that a failure, World Government?!!! I can kill my enemies more effectively than anyone else!!!
[Box: Former Government Scientist / Bounty 300,000,000 Beli / "Master" Caesar Clown / (User of the Gas-Gas no Mi)]
Caesar: Shurorororo...!! I have even taken the trouble to monitor and inspect the state of my weapon's victims...!!! // You just wait... Soon enough, I will show you all who is truly the world's greatest scientist!!!

19
[Box: The Marines]
People: Huhhh?! But then, Smoke-san...!! // The one who was really responsible for that massive accident was...?!!!
Smoker!Tashigi: It was Caesar Clown who created the weapon, and Caesar Clown who set it off. // He held the No. 2 position in the research team back then, but he always had the most twisted ideas. / He never saw eye-to-eye with Vegapunk; the two were bitter rivals. Vegapunk was only held responsible for the accident because he had seniority.
People: ...............!!
Smoker!Tashigi: Naturally, the development of weapons that serve no purpose but to flood an entire island with deadly poison gas is against the law. / Caesar was arrested once, but his ability was too much for his captors. // He escaped from the prison transport vessel, and hasn't been sighted since. // If Caesar really is here on this island, continuing his research... // ...then we have to stop him, now. / Because whatever he's working on, you can bet the results aren't going to be pretty......!!!

Renji: Calm down already. / You getting all antsy isn't going to make the meeting end any quicker.
Rukia: Th... / That's...!
Renji: True, right?
Rukia: ...Well, yes, but... // Even so... / The situation is critical... How can you honestly expect me to be calm...?!
Kira: Excuse me.

2
Kira: While we're waiting for the Captains to finish their meeting... / There's a little something that's been bothering me. // Do you mind?
Rukia: ...Lieutenant Kira...
Kira: I was under the impression that the recent string of incidents... / The rebel army invasion, / the mass elimination of Hollows... / ...and the mysterious disappearances in Rukongai... // ...were all connected into one larger picture. // But in the end... / ...according to the 12th Division's report... // ...while the first two incidents are connected, / the disappearances in Rukongai are being treated as a simple upset amongst the populace... / ...and further investigation into these incidents has been called off. / This despite the fact that these disappearances are still going on. // It doesn't sit right with me. // That's why I want to ask now, while I have the opportunity to address all of my fellow Lieutenants together.

3
Kira: Is there anyone here... // ...who has taken part in investigations further afield than District 50?
Nanao: ...What exactly are you...?
Yachiru: Uh-huh! // Baldy and Yumi-chi from our squad went to District 64!
Kira: And their report?
Yachiru: Same as everywhere else. // The footprints gathered in one spot and then disappeared. / There weren't any Hollow footprints, so they figured it must've been some kind of trouble among the locals.
Kira: That's not what I'm asking. / I want to know exactly what kind of footprints they found.
Yachiru: ? // Bare feet and sandals...
Nanao: !
Kira: ...I knew it...!

4
Hisagi: What's the big deal?
Kira: There's been plenty of research carried out into the population strata in Rukongai. / In the areas beyond District 50, the standard of living drops off sharply, and this is reflected in their clothing. The further out you venture, the more of the population wears nothing but rags with bare feet. // And most importantly... // In all the research that has been carried out over the past 550 years, / not one citizen has been observed wearing sandals anywhere beyond District 58. // In other words, / the only sandal footprints that should be found in District 64... // ...are those belonging to Shinigami. // ...I knew there was something strange about all this. // In this type of incident, a spirit particle analysis team from the Research Institute would ordinarily be assigned to aid in the investigation. / But for some reason, that didn't happen this time.

5
Kira: What exactly... // ...is Captain Kurotsuchi hiding from us? // Lieutenant Kurotsuchi.
Nemu: ...I do not know. // Mayuri-sama has not provided me with any information about this matter.
Kira: I intend to report this to the Captain-Commander.
Nemu: Please, do as you wish. // I am certain that Mayuri-sama would never do anything without good reason.

Ichigo: Are you telling me... // ...you guys really are Quincy......?!
Opie: Oh, my. / Do you mean to say that you chose to stand against us without even a proper understanding of who we are?! // Well... / From your tone, it sounds as though you had your suspicions, but no clear evidence to confirm them, am I correct? // Very well. // Then let me give you your answer.

11
Opie: You are correct. // We are the very same Quincy... // ...you know so well.

Leader: Right... / Time to go.
People: Your Majesty...?! / Where are you going...?
Leader: Where am I going? // Isn't that obvious? // To Soul Society. // I don't know why that boy has come to Hueco Mundo... / ...but if he's doing battle with Kirge, that should keep him occupied for a short while. // I can think of no better opportunity... // ...to bring Soul Society to its knees. // Send word to the Sternritter.

14
Leader: The Wandenreich invasion of Soul Society... // ...begins immediately.
Mayuri: You are correct.

15
Mayuri: I did indeed mobilise members of the 12th Division without authorisation... / ...in order to correct the imbalance of souls by eliminating 28,000 citizens of Rukongai.
Yamamoto: Why did you not request permission? / If the situation was critical, this operation could have been properly authorised.
Mayuri: If the situation were to escalate beyond "critical" whilst I was waiting for permission to be granted... / ...I would have truly had no way to take responsibility for the outcome.
Yamamoto: If the Research Institute had been swifter to report this situation and prepare a solution... // ...then this outcome could have been avoided entirely.
Mayuri: I disagree.

16
Mayuri: I, for my part, // anticipated this eventuality from the moment the Quincy Ishida Uryuu invaded Seireitei as a ryoka... // ...and I think you will find I made my concerns known. // It is you who disregarded my concerns as baseless. // The responsibility for the current situation... // ...lies entirely with you, Captain Commander, // for your failure one thousand years ago...

17
Mayuri: ...to eliminate that man when you had the chance!

StrawHats: *pant*... *pant*... We made it... We should be okay here. // This place looks like it's made out of the same stuff as the facility back there. // But it's all in pieces...

Nami!Franky: I know it's hard for you to go without those things. / At any rate, we all need to calm down and assess the situation...
Franky!Chopper: First up, I'm Franky. // So don't come running to me if you get hurt!!
Chopper!Sanji: And I'm Chopper!! // If you're hurt, I'll fix you right up!!
Nami!Franky: I'm Nami. // I'd sooner die than fire off any "beams".
Sanji!Nami: And we... // ...are NNNNNAMI-SAAAAAAAN!!♡♡
Usopp/Brook: Oh, yeah!! That's what we were waiting for~~~!!
Nami!Franky: Funny, I don't remember "Nami-san" being a vulgar oaf...!!!
Sanji!Nami: I'm sorry!! I won't do it again!! Please don't hurt Nami-san any more!!
Chopper!Sanji: Stop, Nami!! You're gonna kill Nami!!
Nami!Franky: I want 200,000 Beli for every time you touch my body. 100,000 for peeking.

Nami!Franky: And you two can stop rolling around laughing!! This isn't some kind of show!!

Usopp: So basically, to sum things up... // This guy is the "Samurai from the Wano Country" we heard about.
Samurai: .........
Usopp: The distress signal we picked up... / ...was sent from one of those centaur guys... / ...to that crocodile centaur they call "Boss".
Samurai: .........
Usopp: The whole thing got started because this samurai was running around slicing up all the centaurs.
Samurai: I sought nothing more than to find and recover my missing son, Momonosuke. / Why should I not slice down those who stand in my way?!! // As you can see, there were a large number of children held captive in that facility!! / Doubtless my Momonosuke is still imprisoned somewhere within!!

17
Kids: It's true, we're not the only kids who were in there... // And I don't know the names of all the kids who arrived recently...
Zoro: The question isn't what caused that distress signal. // It's what happened afterwards.
Samurai: I'll tell you what happened, that man from just now happened!! / The people around him referred to him as a "Shichibukai"...
Luffy: Huhhhhh~~?! Tra-dude's a Shichibukai now?!
Robin: Indeed. He joined their ranks during the space of the past two years.
Samurai: Before I knew what was happening, I had been sliced into three! / My head was taken to that facility... My torso was abandoned... and my legs almost became food for some manner of wild beast...! // As I ran for my life, relying solely on my ability to sense the enemy's presence, I found myself stuck fast to something...
Usopp: Yeah, to the back of that dragon's head!!

18
Luffy: Come to think of it, he was saying something about an "accursed Shichibukai"!
Nami!Franky: What, with just his lower body? He could talk like that?
Zoro: Hm? That's a good point...
Samurai: Oh, that was just me breaking wind!!
People: ?!!
Samurai: It is a unique skill that I possess, pfft~!
Usopp: You were talking by farting?!!! That's just gross!!!
Samurai: But it is true, pfft~~!
Luffy: Ahh!! When you do it indoors, it stinks!!
Brook: Yohoho... It is rather strange talking to a person who is just a head and legs! / Almost as strange as earlier, when I met a person who was only a torso!
Zoro: That must have been this guy's torso, right?
Brook: Why, you are right!!!
Samurai: You have seen my torso?!!!
[Box: Meanwhile, the Marines from G5 regroup...]
People: Are... Are you sure you're all right without your heart, Tashigi-chan?
Tashigi!Smoker: Strangely enough, I feel fine...
People: It's so weird talking to her like this...
Smoker!Tashigi: The ship that was hidden alongside the research facility bore a mark reading "CC".
People: Huh?! When did you see a ship around there, Vice-Admiral?!!
Smoker!Tashigi: If it was a ship belonging to this facility, it would bear the mark "PH"... / ...identifying it as the property of Punk Hazard.

19
Smoker!Tashigi: But if there is somebody else pulling the strings here besides Law... Someone with the initials "CC"... // ...then I can think of one possible candidate...!! // // If he is on this island, it would explain a lot of things that have been bothering me...!! / That former associate of Dr. Vegapunk, now a deranged criminal with a bounty on his head... // The man who spearheaded development of weapons to facilitate large-scale slaughter... // Scientist "Caesar Clown"!!!
Caesar: The hell do you think you're playing at, Law?!!
Law: I'm the one who should be complaining, Caesar.

12
Mayuri: I don't presume to know how they survived... / ...or how they managed to build up their forces to this level... / ...but there are two points of which we must take careful note.

Pesche: It is the truth. // With Barragan-sama and Stark-sama gone, the task of ruling Hueco Mundo fell naturally to Harribel-sama... // But out of nowhere, Harribel-sama was suddenly defeated by a mysterious group of intruders... // ...and they took her away... // Nobody knows who these people who abducted Harribel-sama really are. / But it seems that their objective is to abduct powerful Arrancar from the population and use them as their own military force... // Numerous Arrancar have already been abducted in this way...
Ichigo: (Including him, I guess.........)

11
Pesche: And the greatest problem as far as we are concerned... // ...is that they have abducted Dondochakka...!
Orihime: ...Kurosaki-kun...
Chad: I doubt there's much point asking. // You're going to save him, right?
Ishida: ...I must apologise... // ...but I cannot join you this time.

12
Orihime: Ishida-kun...
Chad: Ishida............
Ichigo: ...I get it. // The Quincy exist... // ...to destroy Hollows, after all, right? // I figured that was what you were going to say. // But I thought I'd better ask you anyway, else you'd only complain later.
Ishida: ...Why, you...

13
Ichigo: Hey, don't worry. // The rest of us can manage just fine without you.
Urahara: This all sounds... // ...like a very interesting little conversation~! // Would you like me... // ...to organise a little outing to Hueco Mundo?

14
Someone: ...Hmm.........?
Leader: What is it?
Someone: It's Iban's medallion. // There are signs that it has been used. // And yet...

15
Someone: It has not captured Kurosaki Ichigo's bankai.
Leader: I see. // As I suspected, special measures will have to be taken with that one...
Someone: We already had our suspicions, but it is a valuable step to have them confirmed.

16
Leader: So even a hasty fool can prove useful at times. // Contact the Hueco Mundo Jagdarmee. // Tell them to capture a few fools rather than killing them.
Someone: As you wish... / ...Your Majesty.

Someone: Keep moving! / Don't stand about, you layabouts, keep walking!!

Akon: Listen carefully. I'm going to make this brief and to the point. / I don't want to hear any questions, and I'm not going to repeat myself. // 57 minutes ago, the First Division main office was infiltrated by a total of seven unidentified intruders. / 52 minutes ago, these intruders withdrew. // One Shinigami death was confirmed during this infiltration. The Captain-Commander was unharmed. // During the same period, another intrusion took place in the vicinity of the Kokuryuumon gate, which was guarded by members of the First Division. // A battle ensued, which lasted a total of 182 seconds, at the end of which 116 Shinigami were dead. / Lieutenant Sasakibe was fatally injured during this conflict, and then transported by some means to the First Division main office, where he expired. // Furthermore, / due to the death of all witnesses involved, the number of intruders involved in the Kokuryuumon conflict is uncertain, // but judging from the reiatsu readings detected at the site, this was most likely the work of a lone intruder. // Finally...

8
Akon: The means by which these intruders entered and left Seireitei is completely unknown. / No sign has been detected of any interference with the surrounding barrier, nor of the intruders passing through its vicinity. // As such, it seems likely that these intruders possess some means of transportation that is capable of bypassing the intervening barrier entirely...!
Ichigo: ...I can't relax like this. // I'll go and patrol the area for a bit...

9
Flashback!Ishida: I may be reading too much into this... // But I suspect that the reason why Yuki-kun, an ordinary soldier, was given such a thorough rundown of the situation... // ...was because the higher-ups at Soul Society were aware that you were with him. // In other words, // it could be that they wanted you to be informed of the details of this incident. // I daresay it won't be long before your assistance is called upon in one form or another. // But right now, there is nothing we can do to help. // We have already given Yuki-kun all the information we have on the man you fought with just now... // ...so all that remains for us to do now is wait.

People: ...............!! // .................. // ......Ahh... // There really was a river on the other side of that giant mass of ice!!! // How did you know there'd be a river there, Smoke-yan?!!
Smoker: You'd have seen it too if you paid a little more attention to the currents. // But the issue isn't why there was a river here. / The issue is whether that mass of ice sealing off the entrance was natural... / ...or placed there on purpose.
People: You're not actually trying to say... // ...you think someone might be living on this gas-covered island?! That's crazy... You'd have to wear a mask day in, day out!!

Luffy: The wind is crazy strong!!
Usopp: Look over on the other side!! It's a proper blizzard!!!
Robin: That's only natural. Such an extreme difference in temperature in such a small area... / ...is bound to create powerful air currents.
Usopp: How are we meant to cross this great lake, anyway?! / Half of it's on fire, and the other half's covered in huge blocks of ice!!
Zoro: The change in temperature could do us good after all this sweating. I say we swim.
Usopp: Like hell we do!!
Luffy: Robin and me can't swim, so...

Robin: You have so many different kinds of seed. How wonderful!
Usopp: ! // I spent plenty of time in the Boin Archipelago. The place is like a treasure trove of crazy plants!! // The further I ventured into the depths of the most dangerous islands... / ...the more useful the plants I managed to find! // Why, after surviving two whole years of my life on those islands, there's no challenge in the world that could...

Usopp: So who were these people you found on the Sunny trying to steal our cargo?
Brook: I'm afraid I really don't know... They're all unconscious now, of course... / They seem to be wearing some kind of gas masks.
Robin: ......... // ...Then perhaps they flooded the ship with some kind of gas to knock you all out? // Then they could have sailed the ship around to the far side of the island...... // And since they didn't leave a note, it seems quite possible that the rest of our crew were carried off somewhere...
Usopp: Of course! It's just like what happened back on Fishman Island. / They didn't bother with you because they thought you were just a skeleton!!
Brook: I see, I see... That would explain why I am here all alone. How lucky for me!!

It's got the letters "CC" on it!! / These guys aren't just wild centaurs... I think they're part of an organisation. // At any rate, there's no turning back now - even if we crossed the burning sea again, the Sunny wouldn't be on the other side. // We don't have any choice but to cross over to the frozen side of the island. / And we have four missing crew members to find!!

18
Robin: It seems safe to assume that they were abducted by the enemy... / I just hope they haven't been riddled with rifle bullets...
Usopp: DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT!!
Zoro: We should've just come to the island from the other side to begin with.
Luffy: Don't be silly! If we'd done that, we wouldn't have been able to eat any dragon meat... / ...and we'd never have met Ashimallow either!!
Zoro: ..."Ashimallow"...?
Luffy: That's the name I've given to my new back legs!

Smoker: ......!! No, something's wrong here. It's not natural for there to be this much gas.
People: ?
Smoker: Two years ago, before it became covered in fire and ice, this was just an abandoned island. // From what I hear, there was barely any poison left here at that point...... // That's why Akainu and Aokiji... // ...chose Punk Hazard as the stage for their duel. // A duel so fierce that it twisted the island's very climate...!!

Yumichika: ...There really isn't anyone here...
Ikkaku: There were still a few people left when we received the report... // I guess that means the situation is still getting worse...
Yumichika: They might have just got scared and run away... // I mean, would you want to hang around in a place where people have been disappearing?
Ikkaku: If they changed location, the Research Institute would have been able to track them. // We'd have heard word by now.

12
SomeGuy: Third Seat Madarame! Fifth Seat Ayasegawa! // I've searched high and low in every direction... // ...but I couldn't find so much as a single child!
Yumichika: So the whole village has been spirited away... / How mysterious. / It's like a ghost story.
Ikkaku: Don't be stupid. // Like hell we're going to accept a worthless explanation like that.
SomeGuy2: Excuse me...
Ikkaku: What? / You found something else?
SomeGuy2: There's something... // ...I'd like you to take a look at...

13
SomeGuy2: These footprints... / They all come together at this spot, and then just...stop. // It seems to indicate that rather than moving somewhere of their own accord... / ...these people were gathered together into one spot and then abducted...
Ikkaku: ...Are you seeing what I'm seeing? / Yumichika.
Yumichika: Yes. // These footprints... / ...are all either barefoot or working sandals...!

14
Yumichika: This isn't the work of a Hollow or other outside enemy... // The people of this village were abducted... / ...by their own fellow Rukongai villagers.........!
SomeGuy2: ...Wha......?! // But what does that mean...?
Ikkaku: That's what we're here to find out! // Get searching! / There may be more clues to what happened here!!
SomeGuy2: Yes, sir!!

Luffy: Hey, you guys~~~!! Look! / He stuck on to me~~~~~~~~!! // What do you call something like this again, Usopp~~?!
Usopp: You mean... a centaur?
Luffy: YEAH!! I'M A CENTAUR~~~~!!! / Wahahahahah!!
Person: Ugh...!! I got myself stuck onto something again, pfft...
Luffy: Do you give in yet?!! I've just eaten dragon meat, you know!! / I have dragon power now!!
Person: .........
Usopp: The dragon was tasty, sure, but I'm full already!! If you're gonna eat almost all the meat, why don't you carry it yourself?!!

3
Robin: That's not in very good taste. / Luffy.
Luffy: Really? // Hm?
Person: Pffehhh!!!
Usopp: You see?! He's not gonna just become part of you!! What kind of creature would do that?!! / The other half of him must be out there somewhere waiting for him!! You should take him to where he belongs!
Luffy: You just don't know how to dream, do you, Usopp? / This is just how he is! Nothing wrong with that! / Right? What's your name, any-
Person: PFFEHHHH!!!
Zoro: Oi!! You guys, get over here!!
Luffy: Zoro! Did you find him?! The guy who was sliced up by the samurai?!!
Zoro: ......Take a look.
Luffy: Ahh...
Usopp: Whaaaaaa~~~~~?!!

Luffy: S... Snowy mountains~~~~~~?!! // There's a huge lake, and on the other side of the island... // It's all snowy... no, ice-covered mountains!!! // How come?!!
Usopp: Meanwhile over on this side, it's boiling hot with active volcanoes!! / What kind of island is this?!!
Robin: Well, that solves one mystery.
Usopp: Oh, right! The guy on the Den-Den Mushi... / He said it was cold...
Flashback!DenDenMushi: It's cold... So cold... // Is that you, Boss...?!!
Usopp: Which means......

5
Usopp: The victims of the murderous samurai... / ...must be on that side of the island......!!!
Luffy: This is a really cool island~~~! There's snow falling on those mountains!! / It's so hot here, I could do with a snow cone!!
Usopp: You'd end up freezing cold if you went over there! / Besides, it's too far! We should head back to the ship!!
Robin: Well, this is a problem. It does look rather cold over there.
Zoro: If there are animals over there, we can skin them for furs... Either way, it'll work out somehow.
Usopp: Like hell it will!! What's wrong with you people?!!!
Luffy: Snow cones~~~~~!!
Usopp: Hm? // ......... // Aghhhhh~~!! Did you see that?! Just now...!!
Luffy: See what?
Usopp: That bird!! No, it was like...a bird and a human!!

Sanji: *pant*... // *pant*... // ...*pant*... Oh good, you're awake.

7
Nami: If you look around, it's fairly obvious.
Franky: ?!
Chopper: Franky~~~!!! We've been locked up, Franky~~~~~!!!
Franky: What?! Hey... Where are we?!! // Huhh......? Last thing I remember, I was eating that fishy dessert on the deck, and then... / ......?? I can't remember anything else...
Nami: I can only suspect that somebody flooded the ship with sleeping gas... / ...and then abducted us all while we were sleeping.
Sanji: The ship was flooded with gas, that much is for sure... // I'm sorry, you guys. If only I'd noticed what was happening a little sooner...
Chopper: You think they're gonna sell us~~?!! They could be slave traders~~!!

8
Franky: ...Hang on, what about Brook? He was on the Sunny too...
Nami: We don't know. When we woke up, it was just the four of us.
Chopper: If they're trading in humans, maybe they're not interested in skeletons!
Franky: Uh, you're not exactly human yourself.
Sanji: And neither are you!! Oh, forget it!!!
Samurai: Say, friends... Do you enjoy the art of "hanjimono"?
People: ?!!
Samurai: Or "puzzles", as they say in foreign lands!
Nami: Huh? Did someone just talk?
Franky: Well... It sure wasn't one of us...
Chopper: I think the voice came from these things!!

9
Samurai: What do you mean, "things"?!!!
Chopper: Aaahhhhhhhhh!!
Sanji: What the hell...?
Franky: Is it some new kind of Den-Den Mushi?
Chopper: There are eight of them! I can't believe I didn't notice!
Samurai: I am no filthy snail!!! // But it seems to me that you are not evildoers!! // These objects before you are parts of my face!! // Could I perhaps trouble you to reassemble them?!
Franky: His face?? ...Come to think of it, this is a mouth... // And these seem to be eyes...
Chopper: It really turned into a face!!
Samurai: You seem to have left out quite a few pieces!!
Nami: How about this?
Samurai: Completely wrong!!
Sanji: This must be right.
Franky: Ahahah!
Samurai: Are you toying with me?!

10
Franky: There!! This must be right!!!
Chopper: It's a proper human face~~~!!!
Samurai: I get the feeling there's still something a little wrong with my chin and my hair... But no matter!! / You have my thanks!!!
StrawHats: IT'S A TALKING HEAD~~~~~~!!!
Samurai: What kind of timing is that?!!!
Chopper: Why are you even alive?!! Are you an evil spirit?!
Samurai: Even I am unsure of the answer to that question!! I most certainly did not end up this way of my own choice!!! // I was sliced into pieces by an individual of whom I know naught!! / Though I thought my life was ended, I ended up as you see me now!! // To fall at the hands of the enemy and yet live on is great shame for a warrior!!!

11
Samurai: Ideally, I would like to slice open my chest and end my life... / But alas, there remains to me an important task that I must fulfil at all costs!!
Nami: He's so weird. Kind of like Buggy. // By the way, you wouldn't happen to know where we are, would you?
Samurai: ?! // How can you address me so bluntly?! You are a woman, and I a proud warrior! This is not natural!! / A woman's place is to stand demurely in the menfolk's shadow... / ...and speak with reserve and modesty!!!
Nami: ? // You've got a pretty big mouth for a disembodied head!! / That's no way to talk to the people who were kind enough to put you back together!
Samurai: Enough!! V... Violence from a maiden?!! // From what manner of alien land does this woman hail...?!! Such insolence and force of will!! / Yet I must act with graceful understanding. Clearly she is not in right mind. Doubtless because her clothing has been stripped from her...!!
Nami: Excuse me? I haven't been stripped of any clothing!
Samurai: What?!
Nami: This is what I wear!
Samurai: H...How positively obscene!! // Why, you wear nothing but a chest binding!!!

12
Nami: What? // You don't like it?
Samurai: I must say I do!!!
Sanji: You dirty-minded crook...!!
Samurai: It was a trap... // Urghh... // It hur... hur... itches!! / Still, to think... The women of foreign lands wear nothing but a chest binding... How remarkable. / Now, let us get to the heart of the matter! Who are you people?! You said that you were abducted from a ship of some sort...?
Sanji: We're pirates, idiot.
Samurai: ?!! / ......Pirates?!!
Chopper: I'm pretty sure his skull must be cracked... Is he not in pain...?
Samurai: So you are pirates!! / No wonder your ways are barbaric!!! // I detest pirates!! The very thought of them makes me sick to the stomach!!!
StrawHats: !!!
Nami: ?!

13
Samurai: Considering our shared predicament, imprisoned here on this isle of ice... // I had thought that we might work together to escape, but nay!! I will not join hands with pirates!!
Franky: Hmmm? What's all this about an "isle of ice"? / I thought we were on a burning island of fire!
Chopper: Franky's right!! It was a crazy burning island!! Even the sea around it was burning!!
Nami: No, wait a minute... This could make some sense. / You said this is an island of ice, right? But tell me... did you hear the sound of volcanoes erupting at all?!
Samurai: ...I did hear some manner of loud noise from time to time, but I know naught of what you speak. I entered this isle of ice through a sea half-frozen! / Now cease your endless prattle, foul pirate!!
Nami: I knew it... The "winter sky" I saw from the Sunny... It wasn't a mistake!! / That burning island that Luffy and the others set off for... / ...On the other side, it must be an "isle of ice"! Which means we've been taken around to the far side of the island!! // Sadly, I can't say who brought us here, or why, until we get out of this room and find out more...
Sanji: But, Nami-san... The door won't budge...
Franky: Out of the way!! My cola tanks are full to the brim!!
Sanmi: ! / Whoa, whoa, hold on!!
Franky: FRANKY~~~~~~~~~!!

14
Franky: RADICAL BEEEEEEEEAM!!!! // The door's open. Let's leave.
Sanji: I guess that freaky body isn't just for show!!
Chopper: I wish I could fire beams~~~~!
Samurai: ........................!!

15
Sanji: ......... // So what's your plan? // If we weren't pirates... / ...you'd be leaving with us about now, right?
Samurai: Silence!! Leave me be, pirate!
Sanji: Well, you're not gonna escape on your own without a body, are you?
Samurai: !! / What are you doing?!!
Sanji: Isn't that right... // Samurai of the Wano Country!!!
Chopper: Whaaaa?!! // S - Samurai?!! This guy's a samurai~~~?!!
Sanji: Look at his hair. / This topknot is a traditional hairstyle from the Wano Country.
Chopper: Then you mean... He's the terrifying murderer from the Den-Den Mushi?!! // Too scary~~~~~~~~!!!
Voices: I heard some kind of explosion!!! // Hurry up!! It must be the pirates we captured!
Nami: Sanji-kun!! Chopper!! We have to move!! / They're onto us!!

16
Sanji: You want to know why we came here? / We followed a distress signal from the guys you were slicing up... / ...Mister Samurai!!
Chopper: Sanji!! Come on!! Just leave that scary samurai behind!!
Samurai: I would not shamefully take the lives of others without reason!!!
Sanji: ?!
Samurai: I came to this island... / ...in order to rescue my son!!!! // Those who stand in my way... / ...I will slice down without hesitation!!!!

Shino: I'll be there too! What is there to be worried about?!
Yuki: That's not really what I meant... / But you know, they say Karakura Town has an awfully high Hollow incidence rate... // I'm not sure if I'm the sort of person they should be sending to a place like that... // Besides, there's supposed to be a really strong Acting Shinigami in Karakura Town, isn't there...? / In which case, there isn't even much point going there in the...

9
Shino: OH, SHUT UP!! // Are you ever going to grow a spine?!! // Why do you think they've decided to up the number of personnel stationed in Karakura Town to two?! It's so we can deal with all those Hollows without having to rely on that Acting Shinigami to do all the work!! // And you've been chosen as one of the first Shinigami to fill that station!! That means your skills have been recognised!! / That's something to be proud of!! So quit moping and throw your chest out a little!! // In fact! / We should treat this as an opportunity to show everyone what we can... / ...? // ...What are you laughing about?
Yuki: S... / Sorry... // It's just, the whole "throw your chest out" thing...

Yuki: Surely you don't have much of a chest to throw out eith-

Kurumadani: All right, we're here~~~!! // By the way... // What happened to your face, Yuki?
Yuki: Hh?! // I - Is there something wrong with my face?! / I'm pretty sure my face has always looked like this!!
Kurumadani: ...Really...? / Well, I suppose if you're sure...
Yuki: (He actually believed me... This guy is something else...)
Kurumadani: Well, this is as far as I go!! / Try not to argue too much, and good luck with those Hollows!! // Seriously, do try not to fight, okay?! / I'm not going for some kind of reverse psychology here! / I mean it!

12
Shino: Right. / I guess we'd better get started on our rounds. // I'll take the north side of the town, you take the south.
Yuki: What?! / Aren't we going to go our patrol together?!
Shino: What are you, stupid? That would be a giant waste of time. / It would completely defeat the purpose of assigning two people here in the first place! // Or what, are you scared? / Let's hear an honest response!
Yuki: ! / Y... // Yes!! I am scared!!
Shino: Don't say that like you're proud of it!! // Oh, forget it! / Just go patrol the damn town and grow some balls while you're at it!
Yuki: Eehhhh~~?!! // I just answered honestly like you said! You're horrible, Shino-sa~~~n!

StrawHats: Whooooaaaaa~~~~~~~!!!
Luffy: Look! That island over there just erupted!!!
Nami: Listen to me, Luffy, all right?!!! / Not one of our three Log Pose needles is pointing to that island!! // It's not normal even by the New World's standards!!
Brook: Farewell, Laboon's family!! Take care~~~~~!!
Luffy: I don't care how weird it is, that's where we're going!! / It's right there, isn't it?!! Who cares where the needles are pointing!!
Nami: Not a chance! We're not going anywhere near it!!

Nami: The ocean is on fire, for heaven's sake!!
Someone: That doesn't make any sense!!
Sanji: Hey, Luffy, I have a piece of bad news for you. / It's about that gigantic fish we caught. // Aside from this piece I managed to carve out, the whole thing is burned to a crisp.
Luffy: Aaaaaghhh!!
Usopp: The fish got burned up by the sea~~~~?!! // Our ship is going to be next!!!
Franky: No way!! The Sunny is made of sterner stuff than that!!
Nami: I don't care how strong the Sunny is, this sea is still ridiculous!! / Look at those fish skeletons!! They're all just bones!!
Brook: Hm? You called?

DenDenMushi: Puohoooooooohhhh~~! Puohohooooooooohhh~~! // Puohohohoooooohhhhhh~~~~!!
Luffy: What's going on?! The Den-Den Mushi just started crying!!
DenDenMushi: Puohohohoooooooohhh~~~~!
Luffy: What's wrong, little guy? Your stomach hurt or something?!
Sanji: Don't be stupid - That's a distress signal!! Somebody's calling out for help!!
Luffy: Then...if I pick it up, can we talk to them?
Robin: Hold on, Luffy!! / The chances of that distress signal being genuine are under 50%! // It's more likely to be a trap set by the Marines. / If we answer the call and they're listening in, they'll know that we're in the area!!
Usopp: That's our Robin! You heard her, Luffy! We have to think carefully before...

5
Luffy: Hello?! This is Luffy!! / I'm going to be the Pirate King!!!
Usopp: DID YOU REALLY NEED TO SAY THAT?!!!
DenDenMushi: Help! Please! Anyone~~~~~!!!
Luffy: !
DenDenMushi: It's cold... So cold... Is that you, Boss...?!!
Luffy: No, I'm not your boss. Did you say it's cold?!
DenDenMushi: We're being sliced down one after another... It's no use...!! // We're all gonna be killed by the samurai~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! *pant*...
Luffy: Hey!! Who are you?! What's your name?! / Where are you right now?!!
DenDenMushi: Whoever you are, you have to help us, please...! We're at a place called... // Punk Hazard!!!

6
DenDenMushi: AAAAAARGHHH~~~~!!! / GHH-! // *SWOOSH*!!
Chopper: Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh~~~!!! He got sliced up too~~~~!!!
Luffy: ......! I smell an incident afoot!
Usopp: Of course it's an incident, you idiot!!! That guy just got murdered!!!
Robin: We don't know that. It could all have been an act to lure us in.
Brook: Such a calm beauty~~~~~~~~~~~!♪ / C'mon!
Zoro: I heard the word "samurai"... Brook, isn't that...?
Brook: Indeed. "Samurai" is the name given to the swordsmen of the Wano Country. // The Wano Country is a sealed-off nation whose people do not take kindly to outsiders... / They are not even a part of the World Government. / They say the country's swordsmen, the samurai, are so terrifyingly strong... / ...that even the Marines dare not venture too close.

7
Usopp: You've gotta be kidding me......!!!
Franky: But that guy didn't say anything about the Wano Country. / He said he was at "Punk Hazard"! / You think that's the flaming island?!
Robin: Assuming he was using a Baby Den-Den Mushi, that would be the only place... / ...from which communications would be likely to reach.
Luffy: All right!! Let's go and save him then!!!
Nami: Nooooooo~~~~~~~!!!
Usopp: Surely it's too late for that!
Chopper: Those samurai sound scary~~~~~~~~~!!!
Brook: I quite agree~~!!
BlackDenDenMushi: Zzzzt... / Punk Hazard! / ...Aaaaaarghhh~~~~!!! / Ghh-! / Zzzzt...
Tashigi: Smoker-san! Was that...?!
Smoker: Ugh... What the hell kind of route are those punks taking...?

Pirate: So hot!! It burns!! Help me!!
Marines: Ahahahah!!
Tashigi: That's quite enough of that!!! // Stop bullying the pirate!!
Smoker: The three islands that can be reached by Log Pose from Fishman Island are Risky Red Island, Raijin Island and Mistria Island. // I came here on the assumption that Straw Hat would choose the path to Raijin Island, where the magnetic field is most unstable... // But to think he would follow... / ...an entirely different route from those three...

9
Tashigi: But, Smoker-san!! / Ever since the accident four years ago... // ...Punk Hazard has been a sealed-off island, completely devoid of human life!! / Why would there be someone there now?!
Smoker: ...It's strange, all right. I don't see how any kind of living thing... / ...could survive on that island in its current state... // But it's the only lead we've got. // Let's get moving, men!!
Marines: Whaaaaaat~~?! But, Vice-Admiral Smoker!! / Don't you know that island is off-limits?!
Smoker: I don't want to hear a lecture on law from you. / Just get this ship moving, you layabouts!!
Marines: Y-Yes, sir~~~~~~~!!!

Sanji: There you go - a deep-sea fish lunchbox!!
Luffy: Oh, man~~~~~!! I can't wait to eat it~~~!!!
Sanji: Who drew the marked straws?
Zoro: We did.
Robin: Well, this should be interesting!♡
Usopp: Somebody trade with me~~~~~~~~~!!!
Nami: Milky Road!!
Luffy: Whoa~~~~~~~~~!! // That's awesome!! It's a road made of cloud!! / It's just like the stuff we saw back on the Sky Islands!!
Nami: Eheheh!♡ Hurry on across while the clouds are still stable!

11
Luffy: All right!! Here goes the scouting party~~~~~~!! We're counting on you, Mini-Merry!!! / This fish is great~~~~~!!!
Chopper: Good luck, you guys~~~~~!!
Franky: You guys have all the luck...
Sanji: We'll be able to go too later.
Brook: Yohohoho! Bon voyage!
Nami: Chin up, Usopp~~~~~!!
Usopp: Somebody take my place~~~~~~~!!! / Oww~~!! Hothothot~~!!
Luffy: Whoaaaa, we're going up!! This is fun~~~~!! / We're going right over the fiery sea!!
Usopp: These clouds had better take us safely back as well!!
ScoutingTeam: Good thing the rain died down, huh? // Perfect weather for scouting! // But it's so hot!!
Brook: Do those clouds really reach all the way to the island?
Nami: Who knows?

12
Chopper: Ahhhhhh... I'm so glad I didn't draw one of the go-with-Luffy straws... I can't stand hot places...
Nami: Well, we couldn't exactly let him go alone. / Once he sees there's nothing there, he'll come straight back!
Sanji: Right!! Wait right there, Nami-san, and I'll whip up a nice cold deepsea-fish dessert!♡
Franky/Brook: Yeahhhh~~!!
Luffy: Look, see?! That has to be an entrance!!
Usopp: I'm telling you, maybe there were people here years and years ago... / But nobody could possibly live here now!! / That Den-Den Mushi must've been transmitting from some far-off island, it's the only explanation! Right, Robin?!
Robin: It doesn't look like much, but this is surprisingly delicious!♡
Usopp: What are you all eating your lunch already for?!!
Zoro: Aren't you gonna eat yours?
Usopp: I don't feel like eating right now!! / Ahhhh... I can feel my old disease from two years ago resurfacing... / Listen, you guys, I have this condition called "I-Can't-Go-Onto-That-Island Disease"!!!
Luffy: We know.

13
[Box: Punk Hazard Island / Entrance]
Usopp: Let's pull the Merry up onto the island...
Robin: Well, there's no mistaking it... / The name certainly matches.
Luffy: ...............!!!
Zoro: I guess that distress signal really did come from somewhere in here...
Usopp: ......... / It looks like this island is sealed off!! / Ah!! Look at this, Luffy!! // See?! It's the mark of the World Government... // ...and the Marine emblem!!! // In other words, even if there was someone in here, they must've been Marines!! / No point helping them!! Let's go back!!

14
Usopp: I HOPE YOU REALISE YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW~~~~!! // Oh, right... We're pirates...
Zoro: This whole place really is ablaze...!!
Usopp: Well, don't say I didn't warn you!! You're picking a fight with the World Government here!! / Oh, wait... We already did that...
Robin: It doesn't seem like the island is on fire like this naturally... Was there some kind of disaster? Or an accident?
Luffy: Man, it's hot......!! Let's see...

15
Robin: These don't look like civilian houses... I'm guessing that this place... // ...used to be some kind of Government facility...
Zoro: So the question is, why was the place sealed off? / Because of whatever happened to cause this fire? // Or because it was a dangerous place to begin with?
Robin: Don't forget, for some reason the island can't be reached by Log Pose. / It certainly is suspicious.
Luffy: He~~~~~~y!!! Den-Den Mushi guy, are you here~~~~~~?!!! // We've come to save you~~~~~~~!!!

16
Luffy: Where are you, samurai~~~?!! // Come and get us~~!!!
Usopp: Don't call for those crazy murderers!!
Zoro: Feeling hungry now, eh?
Usopp: Shut up!! I eat when I'm stressed!! // Come to think of it, there's still something bothering me... / That voice on the Den-Den Mushi...!! It kept saying...
Flashback!DenDenMushi: It's cold... So cold... // Is that you, Boss?!
Usopp: ...that it was cold!!
Luffy: Good point... It's boiling on this island... / Why would he be cold...?!! / ......... // Maybe he's an idiot.
Usopp: What kind of logic is that?!!!
Robin: A cold place on this blazing-hot island...? // Or perhaps his predicament was so terrifying, it chilled him to the bone...

17
Franky: Something wrong, Nami...?
Nami: ...Yeah... // It's the clouds... // There's something...strange about the sky above this island. / On the far side, it looks almost like an arctic climate...
Franky: Don't be ridiculous!!
Luffy: Whoa!! A giant?!
Usopp: Even giants aren't this big!
StrawHats: ?!!
Something: RRRGGHHHHHH...!!!
Usopp: Huh?! // ......!! Wha...?!! // Whaaaaaaaa~~~~?!!
Luffy: Huh? ...?!! // Do these things... actually exist?!
Zoro: No... They're the stuff of legend!! // They can't possibly be real!!
Robin: But how could this creature... // ...possibly be anything else...?!!

Franky: I just hope they go well with cola!
Zoro: It's a great idea. Once we get to the New World... / ...we can celebrate with a feast and a good drink! // How about that one? We could fry it up... // ...and eat it salted.
Luffy: That one looks like it would be tasty with mayonnaise!

She can't predict when it might happen; it could be in a year's time, or longer... There's no way to say for sure that her vision was wrong...) // But Madame...

RightMinister/Neptune: (How can we possibly break the news to them that they've already sent Big Mam a bomb in disguise...?)
Neptune: (This bomb... It's been hidden in that box for ten years, yes? / Is it not possible that it could fail to go off?)
RightMinister: (That's the right attitude, Your Majesty! Positive thinking! / It's true, the Ryuuguu Palace is an awfully humid place! The bomb could have been rendered useless! / And at any rate, there's no guarantee that Big Mam will open the box herself!! / Let's just hope for the best!!)
Robin: What are you two muttering suspiciously about?

6
Nami: Huh?! // What's this?!
LeftMinister: This is a Log Pose for use in the New World. Please, take it as our gift to you. / Trust me, you don't want to try voyaging with only a single needle to guide you...!
Nami: There are three separate needles...! / But why?
LeftMinister: Take a look at the Log Pose you have been using in your journey along the first half of the Grand Line.
Nami: ?
Luffy: Oh, what's this? A new Log Pose~~~~? / Wow, it looks pretty cool~~~!!
Nami: Ah...... // I thought the Log had already settled... / But it still seems to be moving a little......!!
LeftMinister: Oh, it's settled all right. All Logs from here on out will settle within half a day.

7
LeftMinister: When travelling in the Grand Line, you find your way by allowing your Log Pose to attenuate to the magnetic field of the next island, yes? / That is how you have proceeded up to this point. But in the seas ahead, things are a little different... // You are of course aware of how unstable the ocean currents and climate can be, throughout the Grand Line. Well, in the New World... / ...even the magnetic fields cannot always be trusted to guide you true!!
Nami: Huh?!
LeftMinister: In some cases, the next island's magnetic field may even vanish entirely whilst you are out in the open water.
Nami: What~~~~?! But then we'd never be able to reach our destination!!
LeftMinister: If you rely on a single needle, then such an incident can be disastrous. // But what about if you have three different needles?
Nami: ! // One of the needles is moving shakily, like on our Log Pose... // But the other two seem to be completely stable......!!

8
LeftMinister: Each of the three Needles on this Log Pose... / ...will attenuate to the magnetic field of a different island in the waters ahead. // In other words, you will need to choose between three different possible courses. / Which course to follow is for your instincts to decide. But the decision can mean the difference between life and death! // Particularly skilled navigators are able to use the slight movements of the individual needles... / ...to deduce which course is the safest to follow. // As a very basic and general rule, the more unstable the movement of the needle, the more dangerous that path is likely to be...!! / After all, an unstable needle suggests that something is happening on that island to disrupt the very magnetic field around it...!!!
Nami: Ehhhhh~~~?! That doesn't sound good!! / We'd be better off not knowing at all!!
LeftMinister: But why? If you do not have the foreknowledge to seek the safest route, you may find yourself in gravest...
Usopp: You can tell which route is most dangerous~~?! Smash that Log Pose!! Smash it right now!!!
Luffy: Let me see...!
Usopp/Nami: !!! // Ahh...!

9
Luffy: I like the look of that island in the middle with the really shaky needle! // We should go there~~~~~~!!!
Nami: Nooooooooooo~~~~~~~!!!
Usopp: He was listening~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Nami: This has got nothing to do with you, Luffy!!! I'm the one who decides where we're going to go!!
Luffy: Don't be stupid!! I'm the Captain!!!
Usopp/Chopper: We're begging you, Captain! Listen to what your navigator says~~~~~~~!!!
Sanji: Nami-san's so cute when she's terrified~~~~!♡
Brook: I think I have my B-side!! I call it "Requiem For Us"!♪
Franky: All right, you guys!! We're all ready to set sail!! / I'm all clear on how to take us up!! Are we going?!
Luffy: Let's go~~~~!!!

10
Hachi: Nyuuuu~~~! I'm going to help out with the repairs at the factory. Will you be okay without a guide?
Luffy: We'll be fine! We managed to have fun adventures on our way here!
Usopp: That's the spirit!! Who needs a guide?!! A true man follows his own path into the jaws of hell!!!
Chopper: Yeah~~~~~!! This is war~~~~~~~!!!
Robin: I think they're losing it...
Mermaids: Come back anytime~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! / You're always welcome~~~~~~~~!♡
Sanji: You can count on it!!! This is the All Blue of my heart's desire~~~~~~~!!!
Zoro: What a pathetic dream.
Sanji: You say something~~~~?!!
Mermaids: Heehee... You're so funny, Sanji-chan!
Fukaboshi: I have naught but the deepest thanks to offer you...!! // You have my gratitude!! / My people will pray for your safety!!
Luffy: Great!

11
Mamboshi: Next time we see you, we'll be leading the greatest fighting force the depths have ever seen!! You count on it~~!! Ooh, mambo~!!
Ryuuboshi: Quite, quite~!!♪ We'll become so amazing... / ...the tales of the great warrior Neptune will pale in comparison-la-ti-do~~~!♪
Luffy: Heheheh!! I look forward to it!!
Neptune: ......... // Hahah...
Luffy: Jimbei!!
Jimbei: .................. // *nod*...!!
Luffy: All right!!!

12
Luffy: Hoist the sail, guys~~~~~~!!! We're setting off~~~~~~!!! // Farewell to Fishman Island~~~~~~~~~!!!
People: Come back sometime~~~!!! // We'll have plenty of sweets and meat waiting when you do~~~~!! // We all like humans now~~~~!! // Oh, and raccoons!! And robots~~~~!!
Brook: Hmm? What about skeletons?
Caimie: Take care of yourself, Luffy-chin and everyone~~~~~!!
Hachi: Come back and have some of my takoyaki sometime~~~~~!!
Pappagg: I love you guys, dammit~~~~~~!★
Luffy: Shishishi!
People: We like skeletons too~!!
Brook: My thanks for your consideration.

13
Shirahoshi: Luffy-sama! If I am lucky enough... // ...to meet you again...!!
Luffy: Whoooooa~~!! Cry-hoshi!!
Sanji: Shirahoshi-cha~~~~~~~n!♡
Shirahoshi: *pant*... *pant*... / When that time comes... I promise I will no longer be a crybaby...!! // I hope you will talk me out for a wonderful walk again......!!
Luffy: For a walk~~~? // What, you want to visit your mum's grave again?
Shirahoshi: ...This time, I would rather go somewhere even further away. Above the waves... / I would like to see a real forest!
Luffy: I see~~~! I guess you've never been out of the sea before, huh~~~? All right, sounds good! // Next time we meet, I'll take you to see one!
Shirahoshi: Do you promise?!
Luffy: !

14
Luffy: Sure! Leave it to me!! // It's a promise!!
Nami: Luffy, are you sure you should be making promises like that without consulting us?
Brook: Luffy-san!! A promise is something to be honoured to the grave and beyond!
Nami: All right then, Shirahoshi... I'll promise you as well!
Sanji: Me too~~~!♡
Chopper: Then I'll promise too!
Brook: I rather think this should be... // ...quite enough fingers, don't you~~?!
Luffy: Shishishi! And you remember not to cry, yeah?
Shirahoshi: ......Of course!!

15
Shirahoshi: ..................
Neptune: Do not forget this debt we owe.
Princes: But of course!!!
Kid: Hey, Dad, Dad!! Can you buy me a straw hat~~~?! / We're gonna play at being heroes!!
Father: They only sell straw hats up on the surface, you know?!
Kid: Then buy me one from there!!
Father: Don't be ridiculous!! The surface is full of terrifying humans who hate all fishmen...
Kid: Huh?
Father: I mean... Well. I suppose they're not all that bad... Hmmm. // There are strong and heroic guys like that Straw Hat up there as well... / Ah, Boss Jimbei! Perfect timing!!
Jimbei: Yes, yes, I heard. I'll see if I can't find something for you from a merchant ship.
Kid: Really, Boss~~~?!
Jimbei: Well, you want yourself a "hero hat", don't you? Hahahah!

16
Sanji: Ahhhhh... That place really was like a mermaid heaven...♡
Nami: Now, I hope everyone's feeling ready for this!! Once we reach the surface, there's going to be no room for relaxing!! // We're heading for a dark and dangerous sea!!
Usopp: What's that, Franky?
Franky: They're called "Kuuigos Wood". They have exceptionally powerful buoyancy, so they'll lift the ship towards the surface. // We can control our speed by adjusting how many of them we extend out into the ocean.
Zoro: ......? What's up, Luffy?
Luffy: ......... // Once we reach the surface... // We'll be in the same sea as Shanks!!!
Flashback!Shanks: Here...
Luffy: I can't wait to meet him...

17
Flashback!Shanks: I'll leave this hat with you. // It's a precious possession of mine. // Make sure you come and give it back to me someday... // ...when you've become a great pirate!
Flashback!Ace: You'll pull it off for sure...!! You're my brother, after all...!!!
Flashback!Jimbei: Ask yourself this!! What is there that still remains to you?!!!
Flashback!Rayleigh: Head straight for the top!!!
Flashback!Coby: Most people... / ...call that final ocean by another name. // It is the sea where great men gather to forge a brand new age!! / And the man who conquers that sea... // ...will be the Pirate King!!!

18-19
Luffy: Once we get back up above the waves... // ...we'll be in the greatest sea of all...!!!
Zoro: It's taken us long enough... / I'll slice 'em all to pieces.
Brook: Hang on a little longer, Laboon! Only halfway left to go!!
Nami: Don't worry... I'll take you wherever you need to go!!
Franky: The Sunny won't let us down!!
Chopper: Don't worry about getting injured, you guys!!
Sanji: I'll make sure you never go hungry!!
Usopp: With a warrior of the sea like me on board, there's nothing to fear!!!
Robin: Hahaha...
Luffy: FULL SPEED AHEAD, MEN~~~~~~~~!!! // TO THE NEW WORLD~~~~~!!!!
StrawHats: YEAAAAAHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!

[Insert text: Neptune and Jimbei meet in the Palace...]
Neptune: So let me ask you, Jimbei... // How are the Sun Pirates getting on... / ...as part of Big Mam's fleet?
Jimbei: Whilst I cannot claim that she is always the most reasonable person to work with... She lets us have our freedoms.
Neptune: I would never have expected a man of your calibre to serve under another master after Fisher Tiger. / Does it not trouble you?
Jimbei: Not at all. I have no grand aspirations to absolute leadership. / In the New World, affiliating oneself with one of the four Yonkou... / ...is simply the most sensible way to ensure the safety of one's comrades.
Neptune: Truly? I cannot help but think you do it for Fishman Island's sake... / It was, after all, thanks to your connections that our island was able to obtain the protection of Big Mam's name... // ...and thus remain safe even after Whitebeard's demise.

3
Jimbei: A coincidence, nothing more. // In truth, I would prefer to remain here with my crew, that we might protect the island ourselves. / But with bounties on our heads, that is a little impractical.
Neptune: ......Hahah...
Jimbei: However, Your Majesty... / I am now planning to leave that protection behind...!!
Neptune: Oh...? // Could it be...that you mean to take Luffy-kun up on his invitation?!
Jimbei: Indeed... It is a very tempting offer. // That said, I live in a world of duty and honour. / Of bonds formed not by written contract, but by spoken vows and shared goblets. // To sever such a bond is not always a simple endeavour... / I cannot deny the possibility that it may turn Big Mam's wrath against this island.

4
Neptune: You always try to take too much responsibility upon your own shoulders. / Jimbei. // If such a situation arises, then we will seek out a solution ourselves.
Jimbei: ..................
Neptune: Why, only today this land has come into possession... / ...of a 70,000-man strong force of powerful, if rowdy, fighters from the Fishman District. // Besides which, if this island ever were to lose the protection of Big Mam's flag... / ...there is another flag I would very much like to borrow.
Jimbei: ?
Neptune: The Jolly Roger that wears a straw hat!!
Jimbei: Wahahah! I see! / Indeed, that would be a fine flag to fly...!!

5
RightMinister: Your Majesty!!
Neptune: ? // What is the matter, Minister of the Right?
RightMinister: I have just remembered something quite terrible!! It relates to the treasure that was stolen... / ...and your promise to give all of it to Luffy-kun and his friends...! // If they do succeed in recovering it, I must ask that you instruct them... / ...to return the Tamatebako alone to us!
Neptune: What nonsense is this?!! The promise has already been made!! I have no right to demand the treasure's return!!! // What?!! The box will explode if opened?!! // Why would you put explosives inside?!!!
RightMinister: Well, you see, after the incident ten years ago, when the contents of the Tamatebako were stolen... / ...I came up with this measure in order to prevent any future would-be treasure thieves from getting away unharmed...!!

6
RightMinister: The box is filled with powerful explosives... / ...which will activate as soon as the box is opened...! // As custodian of the keys to the Palace treasures and the Tamatebako, I must humbly apologise for this oversight...!!
Neptune: I see, I see... Very well, then. If Luffy-kun and his crew do succeed in recovering this treasure... // ...you must carefully explain the situation to them, and recover the Tamatebako... // Though there is always the danger that they might open it before you reach them to explain...
RightMinister: That was my concern, also...
Someone: Your Majesty! Minister of the Right! Luffy-san and his crew... / ...have just returned to the Palace!!
RightMinister: Ahhh...! Thank goodness they are unharmed! So our worries were for naught...

7
RightMinister/Neptune/Nami: You gave all the treasure... // ...to Big Mam?!!
Luffy: Well, she was going on about destroying Fishman Island just 'cause there wasn't any sweets left! Stupid, right?! / I mean, if it was meat, then okay, but over sweets?! Anyway, don't worry!! I've gone and picked a fight with her now!!!
Everyone: WITH A YONKOU?!!
Jimbei: YOU PICKED A FIGHT WITH BIG MAM?!! // That...could be an issue...!!
Shirahoshi: Oh, my! You certainly are a strong man, Luffy-sama!
Usopp: THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE HERE!!

8
Shirahoshi: Uwaaaaa~~~hh!! You're too scary, Nosepp-sama~~~~~!!
Usopp: My name's Usopp! And I'm sorry~~!
Jimbei: Of all the outrageous... I fear I may have to sever my ties to Big Mam quickly, before things become more awkward... // At any rate, see to it that your crew does nothing to provoke Big Mam further for the time being!
Usopp: Like hell we would!! She's a Yonkou!! She could wipe us out in seconds!!!
Neptune: M - Minister of the Right...!! Could this not be rather...problematic?!!
RightMinister: This is a most unexpected twist of fate...!! If the Tamatebako falls into Big Mam's hands... / ...and worse, if she were to open it herself...!! / The resulting explosion would amount to a declaration of all-out war!!!
Nami: Now, Luffy, I understand that you had to pick a fight with her under the circumstances. You are a man, after all.
Luffy: That's right!! I don't care who she is -
Nami: BUT WHY DID YOU GIVE HER ALL THE TREASURE~~~~~?!!!!
OtherStrawHats: THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM~~~?!!

Luffy: C'mon guys... Led's go to da New World...
OtherStrawHats: WE'RE TOTALLY DOOMED!!!
[Box: Near the Sweet Factory]
Caribou: Dammitall~~~~!!! I wake up and what do I find~~~?! All that treasure, gone without a trace~~~~~~~!!! / Who the hell took it~~?! I'll rip 'em to pieces, you better believe it~~~!!! // I gotta take that mountain of treasure and the Mermaid Princess' secret outta here with me~~~!! If I do, "that person" will take a shine to me for sure~~~!! // Huh~~?!! What's this crowd of people...? // And who are those two guys carrying those gigantic bags?!! // That's my treasure!!! It's gotta be!!! Who the hell do they think they are~~~~~?!! // I'll bury 'em alive!!!

10
Caribou: That treasure is mine!! I stole it!! / And I'm gonna take it back~~~~~~~~!!!
Pekoms: ...............?
Tamago: Now, who might that be...?

Tashigi: Oh, that's quite enough...!!

15
Marines: Ohhh yeah!!! That's our lovely Captain!!
Tashigi: Could you take this a little more seriously?!! // You have been properly trained in defending against cannonfire, I hope!
Marines: That's the mast you're talking to, Captain!♡ // Man, she's cute~~!♡ The radiant flower of G-5!!

16
Tashigi: Why must you always say things like that in the middle of battle?!!

Tashigi: You'll lose your lives if you're not careful!! Honestly, I can't stand G-5 sometimes... / ......!! I find it hard to believe you're Marines at all!!
Marines: Eheheh~~!♡
Tashigi: Just because I'm a woman is no reason to show such a lack of respect!!!
Smoker: Be quiet, Tashigi!! I'm conducting an interrogation here!!
Tashigi: Smoker-san...!!
Smoker: I see... You were all prisoners of the seabed pirate Hody Jones. / That explains why there haven't been any rookies passing through Fishman Island for the past month. // And it explains why all these pirate ships are suddenly crawling like cockroaches up from the depths......!!

17
Pirates: Prisoners?! I wish!! They kept us as slaves!! / But just when Hody's crew tried to stage a proper uprising...
Smoker: .........
Pirates: ...another pirate crew stepped in, defeated the lot of them, and set us all free!! / I ain't telling you who that was, though!! We owe them our lives!!! // You idiot~~~!! Just spill the beans already!!! // These aren't ordinary Marines we're dealing with!! They're from G-5!!! // I've heard stories about them using pirates as bait to fish for sharks!! / Or burning pirates as fuel on their campfires!! // They're a lawless group among the Marine ranks, who don't even take orders from Marine HQ!! / They'll kill us all if we're not careful!!!
Marines: Vice-Admiral!! Can we take care of these ones? Geheheheh...
Pirates: Aaaaghhh!! Hey - wait - stop!! // I'll talk, I'll talk!! Please don't kill me~~~!!! // It was the Straw Hat Pirates!!!

Shirahoshi: D... Do you think Luffy-sama and the others will be all right, Nami-chin-sama?
Nami: Oh, don't worry yourself about them!

LeftMinister: There is a very good explanation for this...!!
Luffy: Huh?! It's a talking lion!! ...Well, I guess that's not much different from Chopper...
Tamago: Pekoms!! I hardly think glaring at these people is going to help us obtain the sweets we have come for!!!
Pekoms: ?!

8
Tamago: Let us settle this in a peaceable manner, n'est-ce pas? / The tea party is not for another four days. // As long as we take our leave by tomorrow morning, we can still make it in time.
Luffy: Whoa, it's another weird guy... Who're you?
Tamago: A very bonjour to you, my soft-boiled pirate friends... // Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Baron Tamago!!
[Box: Big Mam Pirates / Fighter (Longleg Tribe) / Baron Tamago]

Tamago: It is a name I would advise you to remember, s'il-vous-plait. / So tell me, is it true that you have just been enjoying... // ...the fruits of this wonderful Sweet Factory's labour?
Zoro: He's like a pair of compasses...!
Luffy: Yeah, I have! If there's any more around, I'd be up for seconds~~!
Tamago: But alas, there is no more. And that, mes amis, is where our problem lies. / Do you see that large mark, high upon the factory walls? // That is the flag of our boss, the great pirate Charlotte Rinrin. / It indicates that this island is a part of the territory of the Yonkou known as "Big Mam". // In other words... // Fishman Island is currently under the protection of Big Mam's name.
Luffy: She must be pretty nice, huh? I'd like to meet her! // "Big Mam", huh~~~?
Tamago: Do not misunderstand me, s'il-vous-plait. This is a matter of business, not mere goodwill.
Luffy: ?
Tamago: Fishman Island provides Big Mam with ten tons of sweets each month. In return, she grants the island her protection.
Luffy: Ten tons?!
Tamago: Mais oui. Our Mama loves sweet things more than anything else in the world.

[Box: Somewhere in the New World... // Wholecake Island]
BigMam: Haaaaaahahahahahahahah...
Someone: You sure seem happy, Mama!!
BigMam: 'Course I am. The tea party's only four days away! // In four days' time... / ...I'll be able to savour those delicious treats from Fishman Island again... / I'm so excited my stomach acid is overflowing like mad!
Someone: So excited!♪ Just can't wait for Fishman Island sweets!!♪
BigMam: Are you looking forward to them too...?
Someone: Of course we are!! They're simply divine!!
BigMam: Then you can wait for them inside my stomach...
Someone: Whaaaaaa~~~?!! Please don't do that, Mama!! // Stooooop~~~!! // Aaaaaarghhhh~~~!!

[BubbleSFX: CRUNCH!!! CRUNCH!!]
Someone: ..................
[BubbleSFX: CHOMP CHOMP / GRIND GRIND!! // MUNCH MUNCH!!]
Someone: ..................
Bobbin: Mama~~~~~~!!! / I just got back, boyoyoyoing!!
BigMam: Good, good... How did it go, Bobbin?
Bobbin: Perfect! It all went up in flames!!
BigMam: Excellent news... I always did adore that country's baked confections... // I can only imagine the wonderful scents of the entire country being baked through...a shame though it may be. // But it can't be helped. They failed to bake the confections they promised me.
Bobbin: Got any snacks?
BigMam: People who won't give me their sweets don't deserve to live. / And I can't stand people who promise me sweets and then fail to deliver. They're as terrible as bitter confections.
Bobbin: Oh, come to think of it... I heard that there might not be any sweets coming from Fishman Island this month either......

12-13
BigMam: WHAT?!
[Box: Yonkou / Great Pirate "Big Mam" / Charlotte Rinrin]
Bobbin: Word came in from Pekoms just now. Shall we burn Fishman Island too?
BigMam: NO SWEETS FROM FISHMAN ISLAND?!! // BRING ME A DEN-DEN MUSHI AT ONCE~~~~~!!!

14
[Box: Fishman Island Sweet Factory]
Tamago: Fishman Island's sweets are our Mama's most beloved of all. / As such, we are willing to wait until tomorrow morning.
LeftMinister: But, Baron Tamago, as I have just explained... The machines in the factory that produce our confections are all badly damaged! / It will take time to get them back in working condition... If you can just give us two weeks...!
Tamago: Out of the question.
Sanji: Hey, Egg-man!!! Why can't you just give the guy a break?!!
Zoro: This boss of yours must be a pretty small-minded bastard! And he calls himself a Yonkou......?!
Tamago: I will have you know that our "boss" is a woman, s'il-vous-plait! // She is most certainly not a "bastard"!
Fantasy!BigMam: I just love sweet things!♡ // And I love a guy who can make them!♡
Sanji: A fickle lady... I see... Then what happens if the sweets don't get to her on time?
Tamago: Then our arrangement will be over! The warriors of the Big Mam Pirates... // ...will come to this island and destroy it once and for all!!!

15
Luffy: ?!! / You're gonna destroy Fishman Island~~~~?!! // What are you, stupid?!! You can't destroy a country over a few sweets!! / Not right after we just saved it once!!!
DenDenMushi: Brrrrrring!! Brrrrrrrrrrrring...!!
Pekoms: That'll be her now. / I sent her a report of the situation.
People: A...... A call from B-Big Mam herself...?! // *gulp*...
Tamago: Go on then, Pekoms......
Pekoms: You answer it!! I don't like getting yelled at!!
Luffy: Hello?
Pekoms/Tamago: O~~~I!!

16
Luffy: Are you Big Mam?!!
BigMam: ...............?
Pekoms/Tamago: Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it!!!
BigMam: That doesn't sound like Tamago's voice. Or Pekoms', either... / To whom am I speaking?
Luffy: I'm Monkey D Luffy!! The man who's gonna be Pirate King!!!
Pekoms/Tamago: ?!! / Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, HOLD IT~~~~~!!!
BigMam: Monkey...D............? // I see...... / You must be Garp's grandson... I remember now...
People: Straw Hat-san......!!
BigMam: The boy who caused such a ruckus during the war two years ago...
Luffy: There aren't any sweets here!!
BigMam: !!!

17
Luffy: 'Cause I ate them all!!!
BigMam: Then it's true?! There are no sweets for me?! There ought to be ten tons!!
Luffy: I ate all ten tons of 'em!!!
People: Straw Hat-san...!!! You don't have to...!!
Tamago: What are you thinking...?!!
BigMam: What a simple boy. It's not good to lie, you know... I can tell that you're trying to protect your fishman friends.
Luffy: It's true!! I ate all the sweets on the island!! // I didn't know they were meant for you!! / I was just hungry!!

18
Luffy: We've got tons of treasure with us right here!! / You can have it all!!! That should make up for the sweets!!!
BigMam: ?!
Tamago: Treasure?!
BigMam: And what am I meant to do with that?!!! I can't eat treasure!!! It's tasty sweets I want, boy!!!
Tamago: H - Hold on a moment!! Are you saying those bags are full of treasure?!
Luffy: Uh-huh.
Tamago: Mama!! This is Tamago. If you could just calm down for a moment... // If you recall, a few days ago... / ...that brat Captain Kidd went and sank two pirate ships from our fleet. / The damages we suffered cannot be taken lightly, and in truth, we need to find a large supply of cash as soon as possible. // If you could find it in your heart to forgive them this once... / ...then you would still get your sweets in a couple of weeks' time, and we could make up for all the damages we have suffered!!
BigMam: ...............!!
Tamago: Naturally, on the way back, I will procure the sweetest and most delectable sweets that I can find to tide you over!

19
BigMam: Shut your damn face, Tamago, you swine!!! How dare you even suggest such a thing?!! / What kind of worthless pirate would compromise on the treasure he desires?!!
Tamago: M-My apologies!! Pardonnez-moi!!
BigMam: Although...hahahah... I do find myself quite intrigued by this boy who defies me. / So here's what I'll do. Since you want to protect them so much, I'll do just as you wish... and change my target from Fishman Island to your little crew!!!
People: ?!!
BigMam: Monkey D Luffy...!! I won't forget your name... So come and meet me in the New World!!!
Luffy: Damn right I will!! I've got a bone to pick with you too!!
BigMam: Oh?
Luffy: I can't leave this island in the hands of someone like you. It's not safe! / So I'm gonna find you in the New World, beat you up... // ...and make Fishman Island into my own territory!!!
