[Insert text: Dark deeds are afoot in the Chateau at night…!!]
[Box: Wholecake Chateau - Medical Ward]
Doctor: Such remarkably tough skin and healing ability… / So this is one of the Germa’s fabled “upgraded humans”. // As long as she gets some rest, she should recover well enough… / …to attend the Tea Party tomorrow. // Look after her for the night and send word to the Vinsmokes. / They must be worried sick about her. // Now then, I’m heading to the fourth-floor medical ward…
Dude: Yessir! // Excellent work, sir!! Take care, sir!!
Someone: ………………
Reiju: ………………
Sanji: ………
Reiju: ?!

Reiju: Sanji……!! // Unghh…………!!
Sanji: ……………… / Hey……
Reiju: ……………!! // I…… My leg… // I was walking around the castle… And I ran into some soldiers raving about an “intruder”…… // I got caught up in it, I think……?
Dude: ……………!!
Sanji: Doesn’t feel right, does it…?!! Your memories have been tampered with.
Reiju: Wha…??
Sanji: I’ll tell you……what really happened……
4
[Box: Library of Prisoners]
People: AAAAAGHHHHHH!!! // So hot~~~~~~!!
Jinbei: Hurry, Luffy!! Nami!!
People: Arghhh!!
Luffy: Guooohhh~~~~~~~~~~~!!! // Hrngh!!!
5
Luffy: Whuaaaaaahhhhhh~~~~~~~!!! // We’re saved~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Nami: *pant*… *pant*… / Why do I feel like…… I’ve been through something like this before, a long time ago……?
Jinbei: My apologies. The only way to escape Mont-d’Or’s books is to burn them up.
Luffy: Shishishishi!! Well, better than snapping my arm off!! // Thanks!!
Jinbei: Now I think about it, the first time we met was in some manner of prison as well…… / And look! All these are prisoners who were being kept in the same book as you…… // The world of books is as vast as the imagination - it has no limit. / Big Mam has some very useful subordinates!!
6
Nami: Thanks for saving us, Jinbei. / What are you doing on this island?!
Jinbei: Ah, yes. My crew, the Sun Pirates… // …are allied with Big Mam’s fleet as well, you see.
Nami: ?!!
Luffy: Ehhhhhhh~~~~~~?!
Nami: But……with all this……
Jinbei: Yes, I am a traitor now. I have burned my bridges!! // Wahahahah!!
Nami: Huh……?!! So back on Fishman Island, when you talked about your “current position”…
Jinbei: I just abandoned that position.
Announcement: Screams have been reported coming from the Library of Prisoners!! What’s going on in there?!
Jinbei: It seems word travels fast. / We should get ourselves somewhere their eyes won’t reach us!!
Luffy: Oooof… All of a sudden…
People: !
Luffy: …I’m feeling super hungry……!!!
7
Jinbei: Hungry?! In this situation?!
Nami: I’m pretty sure Luffy consumes three times the energy of an ordinary person just by existing.
Luffy: Don’t worry about me……!! I didn’t say I want to eat anything…!!!
People: ?!
[SFX: *rumble rumble rumble*]
Flashback!Luffy: The only food I’ll eat is the food you cook!!!
Luffy: Anyway, thanks for the help, Jinbei.
People: ?!
Flashback!Purin: Sanji-san… He proposed to me. // I’m going to shoot him dead.
Luffy: The situation is really bad!! / All of us were being tricked!! Sanji, too!! // We’ve got to let him know…!!! // Take care of Nami for me, Jinbei!!
Nami: Huh?!
People: Aaaahhhhhhh!! // Aaaaghhhhhh!!
Jinbei: Luffy!! Wait!! The castle is full of powerful foes!!
Nami: Luffy!! Have you forgotten what happened to you just this morning?!
8
[Box: Medical Ward]
Sanji: Then you believe me……?
Reiju: Of course…… You would never lie to me…… // But to think she was that awful… That Purin…… // She did seem too sweet and perfect to be true… That’s why I was hunting for dirt on her……
Sanji: ………!! // If the wedding’s a sham and they’re just going to kill us all…… // My whole plan to save Luffy and the others by going through with the wedding…… / It was hopeless from the very start…!! // I thought everyone else would be fine if I just sacrificed myself…!! / What an idiot I was…!!!
9
Reiju: It looks like even our father…got a little too cocky for his own good. // But this is a good opportunity for us……
Sanji: ?!
Reiju: The Germa deserve to be destroyed.
Sanji: ?!!
Reiju: If we just go on pretending we know nothing…… / Big Mam’s plan will proceed without a hitch……
Sanji: What are you saying?!! They’re going to kill you too, Reiju!
Reiju: ……………… // Oh…? So you’re worrying about me now? // “Final memories” can be quite troublesome, I suppose…… / You shouldn’t feel indebted to me for what I did all that time ago.
Sanji: ……………!!
10
Reiju: You should escape this place… / …with the Straw Hats, Sanji.
Sanji: What?! // That’s not… Even if I could…!! What about the Baratie?!
Reiju: You can think about that after you’ve escaped. / If you stay here, everyone will die. // I have one memory I can never forget…… // It was a big fight between our mother and father. / Later on, I realised exactly what it was about.
Sanji: ?!
Reiju: Mother was furiously opposed to the idea… / …of turning her unborn children, the four of you, into emotionless machines…!!
Sanji: ……………!!
Flashback!Sora: Stop this!! They’re our children!! / If you take away their hearts, they won’t even be human!!
Flashback!Judge: Then let them be monsters. / As long as they can be victorious in battle!! // My children deserve to hold the greatest power of all!!!
11
Reiju: In the end, he performed the operations without her consent…!! // But Mother took special drugs to prevent Father’s ambitions from coming to pass……!! / Drugs so powerful they could affect even Father’s bloodline factor manipulation……!!
Sanji: ……What?!
Judge: Hey!! What are you doing, Sora?!!!
Reiju: But it seemed her efforts were in vain. / My brothers’ bodies soon began to manifest unnatural abilities, surpassing what a human should be capable of.
Flashback!Judge: Very good!!
Flashback!Scientist: It’s a success, Your Majesty!! // Worry not!! Mere drugs cannot alter the blueprints for life itself!! // However, erm…… // This is most strange…… Sanji-sama alone is……
12
Flashback!Scientist: This should not be happening. Just a little longer… // Let us wait for him to grow a little more……!! // Sanji-sama has been feeding animals?! / He should not possess such emotions!!
Sanji: ……………!!
Reiju: Meanwhile… / Thanks to the side-effects of the drugs, Mother became weaker by the day……
Sanji: ?!!
Flashback!Sora: Reiju, did you know? Sanji made a boxed lunch for me!!
Reiju: While you kept on growing as a human.
Sanji: ……………!! // ……Then… / It’s because of me that she lost her life……?
Reiju: Don’t think that way!! / Mother seemed happy from the bottom of her heart! // She didn’t regret a thing!!
Flashback!Sora: Hey, do you know what Sanji said to me today?
Flashback!Reiju: ?
13
Flashback!Sora: He said “Please get well soon”…!! / Uwaaahhhhhh! He’s the sweetest boy in the world!
Flashback!Reiju/Eponie: …………
Reiju: But Father could not allow it…!! / He blamed everything that had happened on you… / …and began to use you as an outlet for his anger.
Flashback!Brothers: Sanji is a useless failure!
Reiju: You couldn’t possibly be a failure. // You are a child born with true human feelings… / …that our mother put her life on the line to protect. // That’s who you are, Sanji!!
Sanji: ……!!
Reiju: That’s why you… // …are kinder than anyone!!!
14
Sanji: ………
People: Which way did he go?! // Starting from the underground Library of Prisoners… / …it looks like he’s already made it through the first floor. // Head him off at the second floor!!!
Luffy: Talk, will you, dammit~~~~~~~~~~~~?!!!
People: Guehhhh~~!!
Luffy: Ungh! // *pant* *pant* // WHERE IS SANJI?!!!
15
[Box: Outside the Hall of Treasures]
Smoothie: Is there some new problem?!
Someone: The thing is… Boss Jinbei is causing havoc in the castle…
Smoothie: Has he turned traitor?!! ……!! // ……Send word to all troops.
Someone: Yes?
Smoothie: If reports of any more of these incidents reach our very moody Mama… / It could adversely affect tomorrow’s “plan”…!!
Someone: True enough.
Smoothie: Tomorrow’s plan is Mama’s heart’s desire.
Someone: True enough.
Smoothie: What will happen if it fails?
Someone: I……!! I couldn’t even begin to imagine!
Smoothie: We’re on the fourth floor here!! I want you to close all entryways to this floor… / …and take care of this business swiftly, while keeping it contained to the 3rd floor and below!!
Someone: I see!! Very well, then!! // In that case, I expect it will be safer to simply kill the troublemakers rather than attempting a capture……!!
Smoothie: As you will. I give you permission!!
Someone: Yes, Ma’am!!
16
People: ………!!
Reiju: Abandon the Germa and run, Sanji!! / The Germa are nothing more than a band of destroyers… / …clinging to their past glory!! // The world has no need for them!! // All Big Mam desires is our scientific knowledge.
Sanji: ………
Reiju: She should have no interest in the lives of those you care for. / And our father and brothers who are holding your ocean restaurant hostage will all be killed tomorrow!! // They deserve it all!! / They’re no-good killers, the lot of them!!
Sanji: ………!! // ……!! You’re right, of course…..! / I don’t have anything but hatred for them, either…… // But why do you have to die with them…?!
Reiju: I may still have my feelings…… / But I’m still an accomplice who has been altered to follow my father’s orders, no matter what. // My hands are dirtied… I deserve death, too.
17
Reiju: I forgot to mention, but… / About those bracelets.
Sanji: !
Reiju: They won’t explode. / I switched them out ahead of time.
Sanji: Wha…
Reiju: Do you have any other reasons not to leave this island?!
Sanji: ………!!
Reiju: Get a grip on yourself!! / Sanji!!
Sanji: !!
Reiju: Take a good look at what matters to you!!
People: Call the Ministers!! // Straw Hat has escaped!!!
Reiju: You won’t find another bunch of people as wonderful as them… / …for as long as you live!!!
Sanji: ……!!
Luffy: OUTTA MY WAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
